Many tasks require elevated privileges. You can elevate user privileges to Administrator level for your batch runtime using a shortcut: Press alt+ and the batch file to a selected folder to create a shortcut. Right click and select "Properties". Select the "Shortcut&quo...

The following batch file will popup a UAC Prompt allowing you to accept elevated Administrator privileges for the batch session. Add your tasks code to :usercode section of the batch, so they run with elevated privileges. @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion :: test and acquire admin rights ...

In most scripting languages, if a function call fails, it may throw an exception and stop execution of the program. Bash commands do not have exceptions, but they do have exit codes. A non-zero exit code signals failure, however, a non-zero exit code will not stop execution of the program. This can...

The behaviour of virtual functions in constructors and destructors is often confusing when first encountered. #include <iostream> using namespace std; class base { public: base() { f("base constructor"); } ~base() { f("base destructor"); } virtual co...

Security is a very general, broad field, and touches every aspect of development, deployment, support, among other areas. Per the (ISC)2, there are 10 domains, and include Physical security, in addition to the "Software" aspects. The intent of information security is to protect the confid...

Learning the parameters of a prediction function and testing it on the same data is a methodological mistake: a model that would just repeat the labels of the samples that it has just seen would have a perfect score but would fail to predict anything useful on yet-unseen data. This situation is call...

Standard DateTime Formatting DateTimeForma­tInfo specifies a set of specifiers for simple date and time formating. Every specifier correspond to a particular DateTimeFormatInfo format pattern. //Create datetime DateTime dt = new DateTime(2016,08,01,18,50,23,230); var t = String.Format("{0...

Any nullable type is a generic type. And any nullable type is a value type. There are some tricks which allow to effectively use the result of the Nullable.GetUnderlyingType method when creating code related to reflection/code-generation purposes: public static class TypesHelper { public stat...

The addition and multiplication have equivalents in this type algebra. They correspond to the tagged unions and product types. data Sum a b = A a | B b data Prod a b = Prod a b We can see how the number of inhabitants of every type corresponds to the operations of the algebra. Equivalently, we...

The derivative of a type is the type of its type of one-hole contexts. This is the type that we would get if we make a type variable disappear in every possible point and sum the results. As an example, we can take the triple type (a,a,a), and derive it, obtaining data OneHoleContextsOfTriple = (a...

Functions can be seen as exponentials in our algebra. As we can see, if we take a type a with n instances and a type b with m instances, the type a -> b will have m to the power of n instances. As an example, Bool -> Bool is isomorphic to (Bool,Bool), as 2*2 = 2². iso1 :: (Bool -> Bool) -...

You can, of course, return lists from subs: sub foo { my @list1 = ( 1, 2, 3 ); my @list2 = ( 4, 5 ); return ( @list1, @list2 ); } my @list = foo(); print @list; # 12345 But it is not the recommended way to do that unless you know what you are doing. While th...

The most important consequence of the One Definition Rule is that non-inline functions with external linkage should only be defined once in a program, although they can be declared multiple times. Therefore, such functions should not be defined in headers, since a header can be included multiple tim...

A function template can be overloaded under the rules for non-template function overloading (same name, but different parameter types) and in addition to that, the overloading is valid if The return type is different, or The template parameter list is different, except for the naming of paramete...

Whereas inside a Translation Unit, order of initialization of global variables is specified, order of initialization across Translation Units is unspecified. So program with following files foo.cpp #include <iostream> int dummyFoo = ((std::cout << "foo"), 0); b...

A simple EntitySystem that processes a Family of entities not once per frame, but after a given interval. Entity processing logic should be placed in processEntity(Entity). For more info, please see IntervalIteratingSystem In the below code example, the best usage for this is the physics world ...

SoundEffect.Play() plays the sound effect in a "fire-and-forget" fashion. The sound plays once and its lifetime is managed by the framework. You are not able to change the properties (volume, pan, pitch) of the sound during playback, loop it, position it in 3D or pause it. You can hold a ...

Google Sheets is a spreadsheet application that runs on web browser. It doesn't require any installation or setup just a Google account and a modern web browser.
