You can place an SKCameraNode into an SKScene to define which part of the scene is shown in the SKView. Think of the SKScene as a 2D world with a camera floating above it: the SKView will show what the camera 'sees'. E.g. the camera could be attached to the main character's sprite to follow the act...

The following function can be used to get some basic information about the current browser and return it in JSON format. function getBrowserInfo() { var json = "[{", /* The array containing the browser info */ info = [ navigator.userA...

WebSocket provides a duplex/bidirectional communication protocol over a single TCP connection. the client opens a connection to a server that is listening for a WebSocket request a client connects to a server using a URI. A server may listen to requests from multiple clients. Server Endpoint...

It's best for readability (and your sanity) to avoid escaping the escapes. That's where raw strings literals come in. (Note that some languages allow delimiters, which are preferred over strings usually. But that's another section.) They usually work the same way as this answer describes: [A] ba...

Character escaping is what allows certain characters (reserved by the regex engine for manipulating searches) to be literally searched for and found in the input string. Escaping depends on context, therefore this example does not cover string or delimiter escaping. Backslashes Saying that backsla...

Sometimes you doesn't want to simply replace or remove the string. Sometimes you want to extract and process matches. Here an example of how you manipulate matches. What is a match ? When a compatible substring is found for the entire regex in the string, the exec command produce a match. A match i...

There are two common ways to encode a POST request body: URL encoding (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and form data (multipart/form-data). Much of the code is similar, but the way you construct the body data is different. Sending a request using URL encoding Be it you have a server for your s...

Using alarm, user can schedule SIGALARM signal to be raised after specified interval. In case user did not blocked, ignored or specified explicit signal handler for this signal, the default action for this signal will be performed on arrival. Per specification default action for SIGALARM is to termi...

This program demonstrates how to run another process using fork() and wait its termination using waitpid(): fork() creates an identical copy of the current process. The original process is the parent process, while the newly created one is the child process. Both processes continue exactly afte...

Since workers run in a separate thread from the one that created them, communication needs to happen via postMessage. Note: Because of the different export prefixes, some browsers have webkitPostMessage instead of postMessage. You should override postMessage to make sure workers "work" (n...

When editing text, a common task is to navigate to a particular word on the screen. In these examples we explore how we can navigate to the word updated. For the sake of consistency across the examples, we aim to land on the first letter of the word. Mid-screen jump M$B This approach is quick...

The macros @spawn and @spawnat are two of the tools that Julia makes available to assign tasks to workers. Here is an example: julia> @spawnat 2 println("hello world") RemoteRef{Channel{Any}}(2,1,3) julia> From worker 2: hello world Both of these macros will evaluate an ex...

The Julia documentation advises that pmap() is designed for the case where each function call does a large amount of work. In contrast, @parallel for can handle situations where each iteration is tiny, perhaps merely summing two numbers. There are several reasons for this. First, pmap incurs ...

When you first start Julia, by default, there will only be a single process running and available to give work to. You can verify this using: julia> nprocs() 1 In order to take advantage of parallel processing, you must first add additional workers who will then be available to do work that...

To create a view with an index, the view must be created using the WITH SCHEMABINDING keywords: CREATE VIEW view_EmployeeInfo WITH SCHEMABINDING AS SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, HireDate FROM [dbo].Employee GO Any clustered or non-clustered ...

Stored procedures can return values using the OUTPUT keyword in its parameter list. Creating a stored procedure with a single out parameter CREATE PROCEDURE SprocWithOutParams ( @InParam VARCHAR(30), @OutParam VARCHAR(30) OUTPUT ) AS BEGIN SELECT @OutParam = @InParam + ' must co...

-- Identity primary key - unique arbitrary increment number create table person ( id int identity(1,1) primary key not null, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- GUID primary key - arbitrary unique value for table create table person ( id uniqueIdentifier default (newId()) primary key, firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null )

-- natural primary key - using an existing piece of data within the table that uniquely identifies the record create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) primary key not null )

-- composite key - using two or more existing columns within a table to create a primary key create table person ( firstName varchar(100) not null, lastName varchar(100) not null, dob DateTime not null, ssn varchar(9) not null, primary key (firstName, lastName, dob) )
