You can build the cross-platform "Hello World" C++ code, using Scons - A Python-language software construction tool. First, create a file called SConstruct (note that SCons will look for a file with this exact name by default). For now, the file should be in a directory right along your h...

In the Tcl language in many cases, no special quoting is needed. These are valid strings: abc123 4.56e10 my^variable-for.my%use The Tcl language splits words on whitespace, so any literals or strings with whitespace should be quoted. There are two ways to quote strings. With braces and with...

Attributes are global state (*). If they were implemented in JavaScript they would look something like this // pseudo code gl = { ARRAY_BUFFER: null, vertexArray: { attributes: [ { enable: ?, type: ?, size: ?, normalize: ?, stride: ?, offset: ?, buffer: ? }, { enabl...

Uniforms are per program state. Every shader program has its own uniform state and its own locations.

Texture units are global state. If they were implemented in JavaScript they would look something like this // pseudo code gl = { activeTextureUnit: 0, textureUnits: [ { TEXTURE_2D: ?, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP: ? }, { TEXTURE_2D: ?, TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP: ? }, { TEXTURE_2D: ?, TEXTURE_CUBE_...

//all attributes $collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('*'); //specific attributes $collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('name'); //certain attributes are special...

$productFound = ($product->getId() !== null)

The revert command allows discarding unwanted uncommitted changes. Reverting changes to a single file. hg revert example.c Reverting all changes. This will discard all changes not just the current directory. hg revert --all hg will output which files were reverted. reverting exa...

Cross Platform Portability Runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and virtually every variant of unix. Event driven programming Trigger events based on variable read / write / unset. Trigger events when a command is entered or left. Trigger events when a I/O channel (file or network) becom...

class base { }; class derived: public base { }; int main() { base* p = new derived(); delete p; // The is undefined behavior! } In section [expr.delete] §5.3.5/3 the standard says that if delete is called on an object whose static type does not have a virtual destructor: if the...

In C++ methods that differs only by const qualifier can be overloaded. Sometimes there may be a need of two versions of getter that return a reference to some member. Let Foo be a class, that has two methods that perform identical operations and returns a reference to an object of type Bar: class ...

A lot of users find themselves in a situation where they just want to copy, move or delete a line quickly and return to where they were. Usually, if you'd want to move a line which contains the word lot below the current line you'd type something like: /lot<Esc>dd<C-o>p But to boost...

This is a basic in-app keyboard. The same method could be used to make just about any keyboard layout. Here are the main things that need to be done: Create the keyboard layout in an .xib file, whose owner is a Swift or Objective-C class that is a UIView subclass. Tell the UITextField to use t...

Background: if you work on a project like the Linux kernel, rather than make a pull request you will need to submit your commits to a listserv for review. This entry details how to use git-send email with Gmail. Add the following to your .gitconfig file: [sendemail] smtpserver = smtp.googlema...

A Static variable declared locally is not destructed and does not lose its value when the Sub procedure is exited. Subsequent calls to the procedure do not require re-initialization or assignment although you may want to 'zero' any remembered value(s). These are particularly useful when late bindin...

Streams can be built that reference themselves and thus become infinitely recursive. // factorial val fact: Stream[BigInt] = 1 #:: fact.zipWithIndex.map{case (p,x)=>p*(x+1)} fact.take(10) // (1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880) fact(24) // 620448401733239439360000 // the ...

requestAnimationFrame is similar to setInterval, it but has these important improvements: The animation code is synchronized with display refreshes for efficiency The clear + redraw code is scheduled, but not immediately executed. The browser will execute the clear + redraw code only when the d...

During mousemove you get flooded with 30 mouse events per second. You might not be able to redraw your drawings at 30 times per second. Even if you can, you're probably wasting computing power by drawing when the browser is not ready to draw (wasted == across display refresh cycles). Therefore it m...

You can create a UIColor object using an image pattern by using the UIColor(patternImage:_) method. btn.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named: "image")!)
