Due to Node's asynchronous nature, creating or using a directory by first: checking for its existence with fs.stat(), then creating or using it depending of the results of the existence check, can lead to a race condition if the folder is created between the time of the check and the time of ...

In Android, a Toast is a simple UI element that can be used to give contextual feedback to a user. To display a simple Toast message, we can do the following. // Declare the parameters to use for the Toast Context context = getApplicationContext(); // in an Activity, you may also use "th...

If you don't want to use the default Toast view, you can provide your own using the setView(View) method on a Toast object. First, create the XML layout you would like to use in your Toast. <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="...

The nodemon package makes it possible to automatically reload your program when you modify any file in the source code. Installing nodemon globally npm install -g nodemon (or npm i -g nodemon) Installing nodemon locally In case you don't want to install it globally npm install --save-dev nodemo...

A macro can call itself, like a function recursion: macro_rules! sum { ($base:expr) => { $base }; ($a:expr, $($rest:expr),+) => { $a + sum!($($rest),+) }; } Let's go though the expansion of sum!(1, 2, 3): sum!(1, 2, 3) // ^ ^~~~ // $a $rest => 1 + sum!(2, 3)...

A macro can produce different outputs against different input patterns: /// The `sum` macro may be invoked in two ways: /// /// sum!(iterator) /// sum!(1234, iterator) /// macro_rules! sum { ($iter:expr) => { // This branch handles the `sum!(iterator)` case $iter.f...

In $e:expr, the expr is called the fragment specifier. It tells the parser what kind of tokens the parameter $e is expecting. Rust provides a variety of fragment specifiers to, allowing the input to be very flexible. SpecifierDescriptionExamplesidentIdentifierx, foopathQualified namestd::collection...

Exporting a macro to allow other modules to use it: #[macro_export] // ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Think of it as `pub` for macros. macro_rules! my_macro { (..) => {..} } Using macros from other crates or modules: #[macro_use] extern crate lazy_static; // ^~~~~~~~~~~~ Must add this in ord...

docker inspect supports Go Templates via the --format option. This allows for better integration in scripts, without resorting to pipes/sed/grep traditional tools. Print a container internal IP: docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' 7786807d8084 This is useful for direct ne...

Fortran 2003 introduced intrinsic modules which provide access to special named constants, derived types and module procedures. There are now five standard intrinsic modules: ISO_C_Binding; supporting C interoperability; ISO_Fortran_env; detailing the Fortran environment; IEEE_Exceptions, IEEE_...

extern crate serde; extern crate serde_json; macro_rules! enum_str { ($name:ident { $($variant:ident($str:expr), )* }) => { #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Eq, PartialEq)] pub enum $name { $($variant,)* } impl ::serde::Serialize for $name {...

insert overwrite table yourTargetTable select * from yourSourceTable;

INSERT INTO will append to the table or partition, keeping the existing data intact. INSERT INTO table yourTargetTable SELECT * FROM yourSourceTable; If a table is partitioned then we can insert into that particular partition in static fashion as shown below. INSERT INTO TABLE yourTarge...

Say we have an enum DayOfWeek: enum DayOfWeek { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY; } An enum is compiled with a built-in static valueOf() method which can be used to lookup a constant by its name: String dayName = DayOfWeek.SUNDAY.name(); assert dayName.equal...

It's good practice to document your work for later use, especially if you are coding for a dynamic workload. Good comments should explain why the code is doing something, not what the code is doing. Function Bonus(EmployeeTitle as String) as Double If EmployeeTitle = "Sales" Then ...

Given a sequence of steps we use repeatedly, it's often handy to store it in a function. Pipes allow for saving such functions in a readable format by starting a sequence with a dot as in: . %>% RHS As an example, suppose we have factor dates and want to extract the year: library(magrittr) ...

You should verify every received string as being valid UTF-8 before you try to store it or use it anywhere. PHP's mb_check_encoding() does the trick, but you have to use it consistently. There's really no way around this, as malicious clients can submit data in whatever encoding they want. $str...

This topic specifically talks about UTF-8 and considerations for using it with a database. If you want more information about using databases in PHP then checkout this topic. Storing Data in a MySQL Database: Specify the utf8mb4 character set on all tables and text columns in your database. ...
