$ mkdir 20{09..11}-{01..12} Entering the ls command will show that the following directories were created: 2009-01 2009-04 2009-07 2009-10 2010-01 2010-04 2010-07 2010-10 2011-01 2011-04 2011-07 2011-10 2009-02 2009-05 2009-08 2009-11 2010-02 2010-05 2010-08 2010-11 2011-02 2011-05 2011-08 2011...

Just define: // These rules give anyone, even people who are not users of your app, // read and write access to your database { "rules": { ".read": true, ".write": true } } It can be useful during development but pay attention because This level o...

You can define a private rules to disable read and write access to your database by users. With these rules, you can only access the database when you have administrative privileges (which you can get by accessing the database through the Firebase console or by signing in from a server). // These...

Here's an example of a rule that gives each authenticated user a personal node at /users/$user_id where $user_id is the ID of the user obtained through Authentication. // These rules grant access to a node matching the authenticated // user's ID from the Firebase auth token { "rules"...

With more and more battery optimizations being put into the Android system over time, the methods of the AlarmManager have also significantly changed (to allow for more lenient timing). However, for some applications it is still required to be as exact as possible on all Android versions. The follow...

Remember, all the best practices of typical web architecture still apply. For an excellent overview on the subject, please refer to Michael Nygard's excellent book Release It! Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software. Writing your app in Meteor doesn't absolve you of auditing third party librarie...

The #Const directive is used to define a custom preprocessor constant. These can later be used by #If to control which blocks of code get compiled and executed. #Const DEBUGMODE = 1 #If DEBUGMODE Then Const filepath As String = "C:\Users\UserName\Path\To\File.txt" #Else Cons...

You can use Bash Parameter Expansion to emulate common filename-processing operations like basename and dirname. We will use this as our example path: FILENAME="/tmp/example/myfile.txt" To emulate dirname and return the directory name of a file path: echo "${FILENAME%/*}" ...

Another use of RODBC is in connecting with SQL Server Management Database. We need to specify the 'Driver' i.e. SQL Server here, the database name "Atilla" and then use the sqlQuery to extract either the full table or a fraction of it. library(RODBC) cn <- odbcDriverConnect(connect...

proc myproc {varName alpha beta} { upvar 1 $varName var set var [expr {$var * $alpha + $beta}] } set foo 1 myproc foo 10 5 puts $foo # => 15 In this particular case, the procedure is given the name of a variable in the current scope. Inside a Tcl procedure, such variables aren't...

Variables in Visual Basic are declared using the Dim keyword. For example, this declares a new variable called counter with the data type Integer: Dim counter As Integer A variable declaration can also include an access modifier, such as Public, Protected, Friend, or Private. This works in conju...

Every Time you create an anonymous class, it retains an implicit reference to its parent class. So when you write: public class LeakyActivity extends Activity { ... foo.registerCallback(new BarCallback() { @Override public void onBar() { ...

This is the code for changing output application file name (.apk). The name can be configured by assigning a different value to newName android { applicationVariants.all { variant -> def newName = "ApkName"; variant.outputs.each { output -> def ...

synchronized is a low-level concurrency construct that can help preventing multiple threads access the same resources. Introduction for the JVM using the Java language. anInstance.synchronized { // code to run when the intristic lock on `anInstance` is acquired // other thread cannot enter co...

In some cases it is necessary to calculate a variable amount of values on separate Futures. Assume to have a List[Future[Int]], but instead a List[Int] needs to be processed. Then the question is how to turn this instance of List[Future[Int]] into a Future[List[Int]]. For this purpose there is the s...

Keeping a GUI responsive while running a lengthy process requires either some very elaborate "callbacks" to allow the GUI to process its message queue, or the use of (background) (worker) threads. Kicking off any number of threads to do some work usually isn't a problem. The fun starts wh...

Once you have both your server-side logging running, and your client side development tools, you can start looking at Meteor specific extensions like the Meteor Chrome DevTools Extension. This lets you actually observe server logging in the client! Because the database is everywhere. As is logging. ...
