How to limit joined records in MySQL

I have to tables with one-to-many relationship. I needed to select all from the master table and join only one record which contains the oldest date.
The solution is:

SELECT parent.*,
       c1.*
  FROM parent
       JOIN child c1
          ON c1.parent_id = parent.id
       LEFT JOIN child c2
          ON c2.parent_id = c1.parent_id AND c2.sort < c1.sort -- field to determine the order (maybe whatever you want)
GROUP BY parent.id,
         parent.name,
         c1.id,
         c1.name
HAVING COUNT(c2.id) < 1 -- limitation of joined records
ORDER BY parent.name, c1.name;

I found it there.

ATI driver problems after upgrading Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04

I have upgraded my desktop Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. Everything was fine except ATI driver didn't want to be installed. An error was in fglrx-amdcccle package,After that, I've reported the bug to Ubuntu Bug Tracker, and today I got the decision of my problem:

apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so
dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
apt-get install fglrx

I thank Jean-Baptiste Lallement for help!

Check class

In case if you have to use pure Javascript:

    var hasClass = function(element,className) {
        return (function() {
            var classes = element.className.split(' ');
            for(var i in classes) {
                if(classes[i] == className) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        })();
    }

CSS attribute selectors

[rel=value] — attribute equals to value

<h1 rel="value">Attribute Equals</h1>

h1[rel=value] { color: red; }

[rel*=value] — attribute contains value anywhere

<h1 rel="xxxvaluexxx">Attribute Contains</h1>

h1[rel*=value] { color: red; }

[rel^=value] — attribute starts with value

<h1 rel="value-link yep">Attribute Begins</h1>

h1[rel^=value] { color: red; }

[rel$=value] — attribute ends with value

<h1 rel="friend value">Attribute Ends</h1>

h1[rel$=value] { color: red; }

[rel~=value] — attribute contains value in space-delimited list

<h1 rel="friend value sandwich">Attribute Space Separated</h1>

h1[rel~=value] { color: red; }

[rel|=value] — attribute contains value in dash-delimited list

<h1 rel="friend-value-sandwich">Attribute Dash Separated</h1>

h1[rel|=value] { color: red; }

Table checkboxes selection

To select or unselect checkboxes in a table I use the follow code

(function() {
    // checkboxes in the table
    var cbs = document.getElementsByName('checkboxes');
    // header checkbox
    var all = document.getElementById('header_checkbox');
    all.onclick = function() {
        for(var i=0;i<cbs.length;i++) {
            cbs[i].checked = this.checked;
        }
    }
    var cbClick = function() {
        all.checked = (function() {
            for(var i=0;i<cbs.length;i++) {
                if(cbs[i].checked != true) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            return true;
        })();
    }
    for(var i=0;i<cbs.length;i++) {
        cbs[i].addEventListener('click', cbClick, true);
    }
})();

Instead of eth0 you can use any of existing interfaces

Firefox extension. Thoughts.

While I try to see into Firefox Extension development, I found not evident things for me. And here I'll list'em.

• You want to append event handler to created by you DOM-element somewhere in '1body' descendants. Don't try to use onclick or like it - you'll get a fail. Use addEventHandler method, and you'll get success :)
  

Django model field inheritance

To inherit model field in Django is not enough simply inherit a field class. It is needed to add attribute __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase. After that, you can overload any method you want.

Firefox extension. The first tries

I am developing the service which I'll describe further. And I decide to create a Firefox extension for it. And what I have dug:

• To create a developer profile may that
  

  firefox -profilemanager

• To run another -- development -- copy of Firefox
  

  firefox -no-remote -P <profile name>

And I assume firefox binary in your path.
