If you're just getting started with Chef, we recommend starting off with our Learn Chef tutorial at http://learn.chef.io/. If you have questions during or after that, check out or discussion forum/mailing list at https://discourse.chef.io/ or our public Slack team at https://community-slack.chef.io...

We request that the Chef community not use this StackOverflow documentation feature. Docs managed via wiki (or community editing in general) tend to rot very quickly and are of poor quality. We've all experienced the sense of dread when searching for an answer on Google and getting back a half-unrea...

For immutable elements (e.g. None, string literals etc.): my_list = [None] * 10 my_list = ['test'] * 10 For mutable elements, the same construct will result in all elements of the list referring to the same object, for example, for a set: >>> my_list=[{1}] * 10 >>> print(my_...

General syntax: DATEADD (datepart , number , datetime_expr) To add a time measure, the number must be positive. To subtract a time measure, the number must be negative. Examples DECLARE @now DATETIME2 = GETDATE(); SELECT @now; --2016-07-21 14:39:46.4170000 SELECT DAT...

General syntax: DATEDIFF (datepart, datetime_expr1, datetime_expr2) It will return a positive number if datetime_expr is in the past relative to datetime_expr2, and a negative number otherwise. Examples DECLARE @now DATETIME2 = GETDATE(); DECLARE @oneYearAgo DATETIME2 = DATEADD(YEAR, -1, @now...

Using the DATEADD and DATEDIFF functions, it's possible to return the last date of a month. SELECT DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, '2016-09-23') + 1, 0)) -- 2016-09-30 00:00:00.000 SQL Server 2012 The EOMONTH function provides a more concise way to return the last date of a month, and...

Sometimes when destructuring maps, you would like to bind the destructured values to their respective key name. Depending on the granularity of the data structure, using the standard destructuring scheme may be a little bit verbose. Let's say, we have a map based record like so : (def john {:lastn...

One approach that is employed often is to use bootstrap's gridded framework in order to define the area that the chart will exist in. Using this in conjunction with clientWidth variable and the window.onresize event, it is very easy to create responsive d3 SVGs. Let's first create a row and a colum...

@media print { p { page-break-inside: avoid; } h1 { page-break-before: always; } h2 { page-break-after: avoid; } } This code does 3 things: it prevents a page break inside any p tags, meaning a paragraph will never be broken in two pages, if possible. it for...

PHP 5.5 introduces Generators and the yield keyword, which allows us to write asynchronous code that looks more like synchronous code. The yield expression is responsible for giving control back to the calling code and providing a point of resumption at that place. One can send a value along the yi...

Icicle uses Awaitables and Generators to create Coroutines. require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use Icicle\Awaitable; use Icicle\Coroutine\Coroutine; use Icicle\Loop; $generator = function (float $time) { try { // Sets $start to the value returned by microtime() after ap...

A common refrain in R goes along these lines: You should not have a bunch of related tables with names like DT1, DT2, ..., DT11. Iteratively reading and assigning to objects by name is messy. The solution is a list of tables of data! Such a list looks like set.seed(1) DT_list = lapply(setNam...

Unzipping a zip archive is done with unzip function from the utils package (which is included in base R). unzip(zipfile = "bar.zip", exdir = "./foo") This will extract all files in "bar.zip" to the "foo" directory, which will be created if necessary. Tilde...

Listing files in a zip archive is done with unzip function from the utils package (which is included in base R). unzip(zipfile = "bar.zip", list = TRUE) This will list all files in "bar.zip" and extract none. Tilde expansion is done automatically from your working directory. ...

Listing files in a tar archive is done with untar function from the utils package (which is included in base R). untar(zipfile = "bar.tar", list = TRUE) This will list all files in "bar.tar" and extract none. Tilde expansion is done automatically from your working directory. ...

Extracting files from a tar archive is done with untar function from the utils package (which is included in base R). untar(tarfile = "bar.tar", exdir = "./foo") This will extract all files in "bar.tar" to the "foo" directory, which will be created if nece...

Using .NET's rich reflection APIs, you can gain access to an assembly's metadata. For example, you can get this assembly's title attribute with the following code using System.Linq; using System.Reflection; ... Assembly assembly = typeof(this).Assembly; var titleAttribute = assembly.GetCust...

Iterators produce enumerators. In C#, enumerators are produced by defining methods, properties or indexers that contain yield statements. Most methods will return control to their caller through normal return statements, which disposes all state local to that method. In contrast, methods that use y...

Vlookup finds some value in the leftmost column of a range and returns a value some number of columns to the right and in the same row. Let's say you want to find the surname of Employee ID 2 from this table: =VLOOKUP(2,$A$2:$C$4,3,0) The value you're retrieving data for is 2 The table you...
