This example uses Parallel.ForEach to calculate the sum of the numbers between 1 and 10000 by using multiple threads. To achieve thread-safety, Interlocked.Add is used to sum the numbers. using System.Threading; int Foo() { int total = 0; var numbers = Enumerable.Range(1, 10000).ToLis...

Docker volumes are not automatically removed when a container is stopped. To remove associated volumes when you stop a container: docker rm -v <container id or name> If the -v flag is not specified, the volume remains on-disk as a 'dangling volume'. To delete all dangling volumes: docker ...

Booleans and other values When dealing with lua it is important to differentiate between the boolean values true and false and values that evaluate to true or false. There are only two values in lua that evaluate to false: nil and false, while everything else, including the numerical 0 evaluate to...

Conditional contexts in Lua (if, elseif, while, until) do not require a boolean. Like many languages, any Lua value can appear in a condition. The rules for evaluation are simple: false and nil count as false. Everything else counts as true. if 1 then print("Numbers work.") ...

Declaration A common misunderstanding, especially beginners, have is read-only property is the one marked with readonly keyword. That's not correct and in fact following is a compile time error: public readonly string SomeProp { get; set; } A property is read-only when it only has a getter. pu...

K&R void* is a catch all type for pointers to object types. An example of this in use is with the malloc function, which is declared as void* malloc(size_t); The pointer-to-void return type means that it is possible to assign the return value from malloc to a pointer to any other type of ob...

Conditional expressions can be done with ~[ and ~]. The clauses of the expression are separated using ~;. By default, ~[ takes an integer from the argument list, and picks the corresponding clause. The clauses start at zero. (format t "~@{~[First clause~;Second clause~;Third clause~;Fourth cl...

A Set is a Collection that cannot contain duplicate elements. It models the mathematical set abstraction. Set have its implementation in various classes like HashSet, TreeSet, LinkedHashSet. For example: HashSet: Set<T> set = new HashSet<T>(); Here T can be String, Integer or any ...

Like many Java objects, all String instances are created on the heap, even literals. When the JVM finds a String literal that has no equivalent reference in the heap, the JVM creates a corresponding String instance on the heap and it also stores a reference to the newly created String instance in th...

With Clipping and Masking you can make some specified parts of elements transparent or opaque. Both can be applied to any HTML element. Clipping Clips are vector paths. Outside of this path the element will be transparent, inside it's opaque. Therefore you can define a clip-path property on elemen...

A declaration introduces an identifier and describes its type, be it a type, object, or function. A declaration is what the compiler needs to accept references to that identifier. These are declarations: extern int bar; extern int g(int, int); double f(int, double); /* extern can be omitted for f...
