the timedelta module comes in handy to compute differences between times: from datetime import datetime, timedelta now = datetime.now() then = datetime(2016, 5, 23) # datetime.datetime(2016, 05, 23, 0, 0, 0) Specifying time is optional when creating a new datetime object delta = now-then ...

When using a VCS such as Git or SVN, there are some secret data that must never be versioned (whether the repository is public or private).

As seen previously, a closure is nothing but an instance of the Closure class, and different methods can be invoked on them. One of them is bindTo, which, given a closure, will return a new one that is bound to a given object. For example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->p...

Let's consider this example: <?php $myClosure = function() { echo $this->property; }; class MyClass { public $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myInstance = new MyClass('Hello world...

Since PHP7, it is possible to bind a closure just for one call, thanks to the call method. For instance: <?php class MyClass { private $property; public function __construct($propertyValue) { $this->property = $propertyValue; } } $myClosure = function() ...

This is a common gotcha with Laravel routes. Routes are matched in the order that they are declared. The first matching route is the one that is used. This example will work as expected: Route::get('/posts/{postId}/comments/{commentId}', 'CommentController@show'); Route::get('/posts/{postId}', 'P...

Sometimes builds take longer than expected. There are a few environment variables you can set to better understand what's happening during the build process. METEOR_DEBUG_BUILD=1 (logs progress) METEOR_PROFILE=<n> (logs time spent) METEOR_DEBUG_SPRINGBOARD=1 (?) METEOR_DEBUG_...

Extension methods enable you to simplify your interface definitions by only including core required functionality in the interface itself and allowing you to define convenience methods and overloads as extension methods.

Data from a POST request is stored in the superglobal $_POST in the form of an associative array. Note that accessing a non-existent array item generates a notice, so existence should always be checked with the isset() or empty() functions, or the null coalesce operator. Example: $from = isset($_...
