Thread.sleep causes the current thread to suspend execution for a specified period. This is an efficient means of making processor time available to the other threads of an application or other applications that might be running on a computer system. There are two overloaded sleep methods in the Thr...

One of the most useful queries for end users of large RDBMS's is a search of an information schema. Such a query allows users to rapidly find database tables containing columns of interest, such as when attempting to relate data from 2 tables indirectly through a third table, without existing knowl...

REM This is a comment REM is the official comment command.

::This is a label that acts as a comment The double-colon :: comment shown above is not documented as being a comment command, but it is a special case of a label that acts as a comment. Caution: when labels are used as comments within a bracketed code block or for command, the command processor...

It is also possible to use variables as comments. This can be useful to conditionally prevent commands being executed: @echo off setlocal if /i "%~1"=="update" (set _skip=) Else (set _skip=REM) %_skip% copy update.dat %_skip% echo Update applied ... When using the ab...

The function angular.isFunction determines and returns true if and only if the value passed to is a reference to a function. The function returns a reference to the now extended destination object angular.isFunction(fn) Examples var onClick = function(e) {return e}; angular.isFunction(onCli...

Environment variables can be defined before the meteor call, like so: PORT=4000 meteor NODE_ENV="staging" meteor

Downloading a file from the internet is a very common task required by almost every application your likely to build. To accomplish this, you can use the "System.Net.WebClient" class. The simplest use of this, using the "using" pattern, is shown below: using (var webClient = n...

Method 1 Gson gson = new Gson(); String json = "[ \"Adam\", \"John\", \"Mary\" ]"; Type type = new TypeToken<List<String>>(){}.getType(); List<String> members = gson.fromJson(json, type); Log.v("Members", members.toString());...

Angular has some magic under its hood. it enables binding DOM to real js variables. Angular uses a loop, named the "digest loop", which is called after any change of a variable - calling callbacks which update the DOM. For example, the ng-model directive attaches a keyup eventListener to...

Implementing two-way-data-binding, to achieve the result from the previous example, could be done with two core functions: $digest is called after a user interaction (binding DOM=>variable) $watch sets a callback to be called after variable changes (binding variable=>DOM) note: this is ...

angular.module('app', []) .controller('myController', ['$scope', function($scope){ $scope.person = { name: 'John Doe' }; }]); <div ng-app="app" ng-conroller="myController"> <input ng-model="person.name" /> <div ng-repeat="number i...

In javascript, assigning a non-primitive value (Such as Object, Array, Function, and many more), keeps a reference (an address in the memory) to the assigned value. Assigning a primitive value (String, Number, Boolean, or Symbol) to two different variables, and changing one, won't change both: var...

Be careful, this approach might be considered as a bad design for angular apps, since it requires programmers to remember both where functions are placed in the scope tree, and to be aware of scope inheritance. In many cases it would be preferred to inject a service (Angular practice - using scope ...

_.map is useful for changing a list into a different list in a purely declarative way. Rather than using imperative techniques like a while or for loop in javascript, you can just specify how you want to manipulate an element of a list and Use _.map to make a new list transformed by the functio...

Filtering a list down to only the elements we want to do. Lodash provides a function called _.filter filters elements based on the predicate function you provide. A predicate is a function that takes data in and returns either true or false. Let's look at how we'd get just the even numbers from...

In medical imaging, spectroscopy, image processing, cryptography and other areas of science and engineering it is often the case that one wishes to compute multidimensional Fourier transforms of images. This is quite straightforward in Matlab: (multidimensional) images are just n-dimensional matrice...
