Suppose we want to select a word with a surrounding white space, use the text object aw for around a word using visual mode: Got to normal mode by pressing ESC Type vaw at the beginning of a word This will select the word with white space

You may sometimes want to change the size of a split or vsplit. To change the size of the currently active split, use :resize <new size>. :resize 30 for example would make the split 30 lines tall. To change the size of the currently active vsplit, use :vertical resize <new size>. :vert...

Quite often it's necessary to send/upload a file to a remote server, for example, an image, video, audio or a backup of the application database to a remote private server. Assuming the server is expecting a POST request with the content, here's a simple example of how to complete this task in Andro...

This substitute command can use Regular Expressions and will match any instance of foo followed by any( one ) character since the period . in Regular Expressions matches any character, hence the following command will match all instances of foo followed by any character in the current line. :s/foo....

Exporting a database is a simple two step process: sqlite> .output mydatabase_dump.sql sqlite> .dump Exporting a table is pretty similar: sqlite> .output mytable_dump.sql sqlite> .dump mytable The output file needs to be defined with .output prior to using .dump; otherwise, the...

Creating Gradient UIImage with colors in CGRect Swift: extension UIImage { static func gradientImageWithBounds(bounds: CGRect, colors: [CGColor]) -> UIImage { let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer() gradientLayer.frame = bounds gradientLayer.colors = colors ...

+ (CALayer *)gradientBGLayerForBounds:(CGRect)bounds colors:(NSArray *)colors { CAGradientLayer * gradientBG = [CAGradientLayer layer]; gradientBG.frame = bounds; gradientBG.colors = colors; return gradientBG; }

Python multithreading performance can often suffer due to the Global Interpreter Lock. In short, even though you can have multiple threads in a Python program, only one bytecode instruction can execute in parallel at any one time, regardless of the number of CPUs. As such, multithreading in cases w...

Use threading.Thread to run a function in another thread. import threading import os def process(): print("Pid is %s, thread id is %s" % (os.getpid(), threading.current_thread().name)) threads = [threading.Thread(target=process) for _ in range(4)] for t in threads: t.sta...

Use multiprocessing.Process to run a function in another process. The interface is similar to threading.Thread: import multiprocessing import os def process(): print("Pid is %s" % (os.getpid(),)) processes = [multiprocessing.Process(target=process) for _ in range(4)] for p in...

As all threads are running in the same process, all threads have access to the same data. However, concurrent access to shared data should be protected with a lock to avoid synchronization issues. import threading obj = {} obj_lock = threading.Lock() def objify(key, val): print("O...

Code running in different processes do not, by default, share the same data. However, the multiprocessing module contains primitives to help share values across multiple processes. import multiprocessing plain_num = 0 shared_num = multiprocessing.Value('d', 0) lock = multiprocessing.Lock() ...

Place Picker is a really simple UI widget provided by Places API. It provides a built-in map, current location, nearby places, search abilities and autocomplete. This is a sample usage of Place Picker UI widget. private static int PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST = 1; private TextView txtPlaceName; @Ove...

You can get the current location and local places of user by using the Google Places API. Ar first, you should call the PlaceDetectionApi.getCurrentPlace() method in order to retrieve local business or other places. This method returns a PlaceLikelihoodBuffer object which contains a list of PlaceLi...

To rename remote, use command git remote rename The git remote rename command takes two arguments: An existing remote name, for example : origin A new name for the remote, for example : destination Get existing remote name git remote # origin Check existing remote with URL git remote -...

Returns a sub string that is the right most part of the string, with the specified max length. Parameters: character expression. The character expression can be of any data type that can be implicitly converted to varchar or nvarchar, except for text or ntext max length. An integer number betwe...

Returns a substring that starts with the char that's in the specified start index and the specified max length. Parameters: Character expression. The character expression can be of any data type that can be implicitly converted to varchar or nvarchar, except for text or ntext. Start index. A nu...

plot() can take arguments that get passed on to matplotlib to style the plot in different ways. df.plot(style='o') # plot as dots, not lines df.plot(style='g--') # plot as green dashed line df.plot(style='o', markeredgecolor='white') # plot as dots with white edge

By default, plot() creates a new figure each time it is called. It is possible to plot on an existing axis by passing the ax parameter. plt.figure() # create a new figure ax = plt.subplot(121) # create the left-side subplot df1.plot(ax=ax) # plot df1 on that subplot ax = plt.subplot(122) # c...

All integers or pointers can be used in an expression that is interpreted as "truth value". int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { if (argc % 4) { puts("arguments number is not divisible by 4"); } else { puts("argument number is divisible by 4"); } ... ...
