CREATE CONTEXT my_ctx USING my_pkg; This creates a context that can only be set by routines in the database package my_pkg, e.g.: CREATE PACKAGE my_pkg AS PROCEDURE set_ctx; END my_pkg; CREATE PACKAGE BODY my_pkg AS PROCEDURE set_ctx IS BEGIN DBMS_SESSION.set_context('MY_CTX','...

The RewriteEngine module within Apache is used to dynamically rewrite URLs and paths depending on various expressions provided: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d ...

A rank-1 array value can be created using an array constructor, with the syntax (/ ... /) [ ... ] The form [...] was introduced in Fortran 2003 and is generally regarded as clearer to read, especially in complex expressions. This form is used exclusively in this example. The values featuring ...

When it comes to geographic data, R shows to be a powerful tool for data handling, analysis and visualisation. Often, spatial data is avaliable as an XY coordinate data set in tabular form. This example will show how to create a spatial data set from an XY data set. The packages rgdal and sp provi...

rgdal ESRI shape files can easily be imported into R by using the function readOGR() from the rgdal package. library(rgdal) shp <- readORG(dsn = "/path/to/your/file", layer = "filename") It is important to know, that the dsn must not end with / and the layer does not all...

Currying is the transformation of a function of n arity or arguments into a sequence of n functions taking only one argument. Use cases: When the values of some arguments are available before others, you can use currying to decompose a function into a series of functions that complete the work in s...

Concurrent collections are a generalization of thread-safe collections, that allow for a broader usage in a concurrent environment. While thread-safe collections have safe element addition or removal from multiple threads, they do not necessarily have safe iteration in the same context (one may not...

'Prefer composition over inheritance' is an important and popular programming principle, used to assign behaviors to objects, as opposed to inheriting many often unneeded behaviors. Behaviour factories var speaker = function (state) { var noise = state.noise || 'grunt'; return { ...

macro(set_my_variable _INPUT) if("${_INPUT}" STREQUAL "Foo") set(my_output_variable "foo") else() set(my_output_variable "bar") endif() endmacro(set_my_variable) Use the macro: set_my_variable("Foo") message(STATUS ${my_outpu...

macro(set_custom_variable _OUT_VAR) set(${_OUT_VAR} "Foo") endmacro(set_custom_variable) Use it with set_custom_variable(my_foo) message(STATUS ${my_foo}) which will print -- Foo

The difference between size and count is: size counts NaN values, count does not. df = pd.DataFrame( {"Name":["Alice", "Bob", "Mallory", "Mallory", "Bob" , "Mallory"], "City":["Seattle", &q...

A method defined in an interface is by default public abstract. When an abstract class implements an interface, any methods which are defined in the interface do not have to be implemented by the abstract class. This is because a class that is declared abstract can contain abstract method declaratio...

Sometimes developers write some code that desires access to stage, or Flash stage, to add listeners. It can work for the first time, then all of a sudden fail to work and produce the error 1009. The code in question can even be on the timeline, as it's the first initiative to add code there, and man...

function listener(e:Event):void { var m:MovieClip=e.target as MovieClip; m.x++; } If such a listener is attached to an object that's not a MovieClip descendant (for example, a Sprite), the typecast will fail, and any subsequent operations with its result will throw the 1009 error.

var a:Object; trace(a); // null trace(a.b); // Error 1009 Here, an object reference is declared, but is never assigned a value, be it with new or assignment of a non-null value. Requesting its properties or method results in a 1009 error.

x=anObject.aProperty.anotherProperty.getSomething().data; Here, any object before the dot can end up being null, and using methods that return complex objects only increases the complication to debug the null error. Worst case if the method is prone to extraneous failures, say retrieving data ove...

s=this.getChildByName("garbage"); if (s.parent==this) {...} getChildByName() is one of the many functions that can return null if an error occurred when processing its input. Therefore, if you are receiving an object from any function that can possibly return null, check for null first...

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveChild); function moveChild(e:Event):void { childMC.x++; if (childMC.x>1000) { gotoAndStop(2); } } This example will move the childMC (added to Main at design time) but will instantly throw a 1009 as soon as gotoAndStop() is invok...
