Functions in Common Lisp are first class values. An anonymous function can be created by using lambda. For example, here is a function of 3 arguments which we then call using funcall CL-USER> (lambda (a b c) (+ a (* b c))) #<FUNCTION (LAMBDA (A B C)) {10034F484B}> CL-USER> (defvar *fo...

Any symbol in Common Lisp has a slot for a variable to be bound and a separate slot for a function to be bound. Note that the naming in this example is only for illustration. Global variables should not be named foo, but *foo*. The latter notation is a convention to make it clear that the variable ...

Common Lisp contains many higher order functions which are passed functions for arguments and call them. Perhaps the most fundamental are funcall and apply: CL-USER> (list 1 2 3) (1 2 3) CL-USER> (funcall #'list 1 2 3) (1 2 3) CL-USER> (funcall #'list 1 2 3 4 5) (1 2 3 4 5) CL-USER&g...

Introduction In this minimalist example, using pytest we're going to test that indeed our Hello World app does return "Hello, World!" with an HTTP OK status code of 200, when hit with a GET request on the URL / First let's install pytest into our virtualenv pip install pytest And jus...

os.access is much better solution to check whether directory exists and it's accesable for reading and writing. import os path = "/home/myFiles/directory1" ## Check if path exists os.access(path, os.F_OK) ## Check if path is Readable os.access(path, os.R_OK) ## Check if path i...

Multiple transforms can be applied to an element in one property like this: transform: rotate(15deg) translateX(200px); This will rotate the element 15 degrees clockwise and then translate it 200px to the right. In chained transforms, the coordinate system moves with the element. This means tha...

h2 { /* adds a 1px space horizontally between each letter; also known as tracking */ letter-spacing: 1px; } The letter-spacing property is used to specify the space between the characters in a text. ! letter-spacing also supports negative values: p { letter-spacing: -1px; }...

When reading multiple values from a channel, using range is a common pattern: func foo() chan int { ch := make(chan int) go func() { ch <- 1 ch <- 2 ch <- 3 close(ch) }() return ch } func main() { for n := r...

With Git, you can (almost) always turn the clock back Don't be afraid to experiment with commands that rewrite history*. Git doesn't delete your commits for 90 days by default, and during that time you can easily recover them from the reflog: $ git reset @~3 # go back 3 commits $ git reflog c4...

To refresh the page every five seconds, add this meta element in the head element: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5"> CAUTION! While this is a valid command, it is recommended that you do not use it because of its negative effects on user experience. Refreshing the...

git diff 1234abc..6789def # old new E.g.: Show the changes made in the last 3 commits: git diff @~3..@ # HEAD -3 HEAD Note: the two dots (..) is optional, but adds clarity. This will show the textual difference between the commits, regardless of where they are in the tree.

This error appears while trying to update or delete records without including the WHERE clause that uses the KEY column. To execute the delete or update anyway - type: SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES = 0; To enable the safe mode again - type: SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES = 1;

Firstly, make sure that the agent being used has the following attributes in the Manifest.mf: Can-Redefine-Classes: true Can-Retransform-Classes: true Starting a java agent will let the agent access the class Instrumentation. With Instrumentation you can call addTransformer(ClassFileTransformer...

The Premain class will contain the method "premain(String agentArgs Instrumentation inst)" Here is an example: import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation; public class PremainExample { public static void premain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation inst) { System.out.print...

fn main() { let english = "Hello, World!"; println!("{}", &english[0..5]); // Prints "Hello" println!("{}", &english[7..]); // Prints "World!" } Note that we need to use the & operator here. It takes a reference and ...

A very useful feature of Swift 2.2 is having the ability of extending protocols. It works pretty much like abstract classes when regarding a functionality you want to be available in all the classes that implements some protocol (without having to inherit from a base common class). protocol FooPro...

// This example creates a macro `set!` that functions similarly to the built-in // macro vec! use std::collections::HashSet; macro_rules! set { ( $( $x:expr ),* ) => { // Match zero or more comma delimited items { let mut temp_set = HashSet::new(); // Create a ...

If you are running Docker on OS X or Windows, docker-compose should be included in your Docker for Windows or Docker Toolbox installation. On Linux you can get the latest binaries straight from the GitHub release page: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases You can install the specific releas...

Improper use of pointers are frequently a source of bugs that can include security bugs or program crashes, most often due to segmentation faults. Not checking for allocation failures Memory allocation is not guaranteed to succeed, and may instead return a NULL pointer. Using the returned value, w...

let list1 = [ 1; 2 ] let list2 = [ 1 .. 100 ] // Accessing an element printfn "%A" list1.[0] // Pattern matching let rec patternMatch aList = match aList with | [] -> printfn "This is an empty list" | head::tail -> printfn "This list consists o...
