To search for a string inside a string, there are several functions: indexOf( searchString ) and lastIndexOf( searchString ) indexOf() will return the index of the first occurrence of searchString in the string. If searchString is not found, then -1 is returned. var string = "Hello, World!&q...

Sometimes it is useful to have multiple validations use one condition. It can be easily achieved using with_options. class User < ApplicationRecord with_options if: :is_admin? do |admin| admin.validates :password, length: { minimum: 10 } admin.validates :email, presence: true end...

This type of association allows an ActiveRecord model to belong to more than one kind of model record. Common example: class Human < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address, :as => :addressable end class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :address, :as => :addressable end cl...

The idea here is to move the computationally intensive jobs to C (using special macros), independent of Python, and have the C code release the GIL while it's working. #include "Python.h" ... PyObject *pyfunc(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { ... Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS //...

Support vector machines is a family of algorithms attempting to pass a (possibly high-dimension) hyperplane between two labelled sets of points, such that the distance of the points from the plane is optimal in some sense. SVMs can be used for classification or regression (corresponding to sklearn.s...

A random forest is a meta estimator that fits a number of decision tree classifiers on various sub-samples of the dataset and use averaging to improve the predictive accuracy and control over-fitting. A simple usage example: Import: from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier Define tr...

Sometimes repos will have commits that only adjust whitespace, for example fixing indentation or switching between tabs and spaces. This makes it difficult to find the commit where the code was actually written. git blame -w will ignore whitespace-only changes to find where the line really came fr...

Output can be restricted by specifying line ranges as git blame -L <start>,<end> Where <start> and <end> can be: line number git blame -L 10,30 /regex/ git blame -L /void main/, git blame -L 46,/void foo/ +offset, -offset (only for <end>) git blame -...

One of the uses of recursion is to navigate through a hierarchical data structure, like a file system directory tree, without knowing how many levels the tree has or the number of objects on each level. In this example, you will see how to use recursion on a directory tree to find all sub-directorie...

It is a good idea to maintain a web-scraping session to persist the cookies and other parameters. Additionally, it can result into a performance improvement because requests.Session reuses the underlying TCP connection to a host: import requests with requests.Session() as session: # all req...

Because LINQ uses deferred execution, we can have a query object that doesn't actually contain the values, but will return the values when evaluated. We can thus dynamically build the query based on our control flow, and evaluate it once we are finished: IEnumerable<VehicleModel> BuildQuery(i...

While RODBC is restricted to Windows computers with compatible architecture between R and any target RDMS, one of its key flexibilities is to work with Excel files as if they were SQL databases. require(RODBC) con = odbcConnectExcel("myfile.xlsx") # open a connection to the Excel file s...

Log4j gives you posibility to log data into console and file at same time. Create a log4j.properties file and put inside this basic configuration: # Root logger option log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file # Redirect log messages to console log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppende...

If the help function is called in the console without any arguments, Python presents an interactive help console, where you can find out about Python modules, symbols, keywords and more. >>> help() Welcome to Python 3.4's help utility! If this is your first time using Python, you sho...

To get the value of the last result from your last expression in the console, use an underscore _. >>> 2 + 2 4 >>> _ 4 >>> _ + 6 10 This magic underscore value is only updated when using a python expression that results in a value. Defining functions or for loops ...

You can set an environment variable called PYTHONSTARTUP for Python's console. Whenever you enter the Python console, this file will be executed, allowing for you to add extra functionality to the console such as importing commonly-used modules automatically. If the PYTHONSTARTUP variable was set t...

Python has a variety of command-line switches which can be passed to py. These can be found by performing py --help, which gives this output on Python 3.4: Python Launcher usage: py [ launcher-arguments ] [ python-arguments ] script [ script-arguments ] Launcher arguments: -2 : Launch ...

A simple static file server would look like this: package main import ( "net/http" ) func main() { muxer := http.NewServeMux() fileServerCss := http.FileServer(http.Dir("src/css")) fileServerJs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("src/js")) file...
