A lambda closure is created when a lambda expression references the variables of an enclosing scope (global or local). The rules for doing this are the same as those for inline methods and anonymous classes. Local variables from an enclosing scope that are used within a lambda have to be final. Wit...

All constructors in Java must make a call to the Object constructor. This is done with the call super(). This has to be the first line in a constructor. The reason for this is so that the object can actually be created on the heap before any additional initialization is performed. If you do not spe...

Arrays can be compared for equality with the aptly named isEqualToArray: method, which returns YES when both arrays have the same number of elements and every pair pass an isEqual: comparison. NSArray *germanMakes = @[@"Mercedes-Benz", @"BMW", @"Porsche", ...

The AUROC is one of the most commonly used metric to evaluate a classifier's performances. This section explains how to compute it. AUC (Area Under the Curve) is used most of the time to mean AUROC, which is a bad practice as AUC is ambiguous (could be any curve) while AUROC is not. Overview – Abb...

SELECT is used to retrieve rows of data from a table. You can specify which columns will be retrieved: SELECT Name, Position FROM Employees; Or just use * to get all columns: SELECT * FROM Employees;

This query will return all columns from the table sales where the values in the column amount is greater than 10 and the data in the region column in "US". SELECT * FROM sales WHERE amount > 10 AND region = "US" You can use regular expressions to select the columns you wan...

A compound literal is an unnamed object which is created in the scope where is defined. The concept was first introduced in C99 standard. An example for compound literal is Examples from C standard, C11-§6.5.2.5/9: int *p = (int [2]){ 2, 4 }; p is initialized to the address of the first ele...

The normal way to create an array of numbers: numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Range objects can be used extensively to create an array of numbers: numbers = Array(1..10) # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] numbers = (1..10).to_a # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] #step and #map methods...

Download and install, either via Homebrew, or from website. For Brew, brew install git-lfs git lfs install Often you will also need to do some setup on the service that hosts your remote to allow it to work with lfs. This will be different for each host, but will likely just be checking a box sa...

A common workflow for using Git LFS is to declare which files are intercepted through a rules-based system, just like .gitignore files. Much of time, wildcards are used to pick certain file-types to blanket track. e.g. git lfs track "*.psd" When a file matching the above pattern is adde...

Any size of INT may be used for AUTO_INCREMENT. UNSIGNED is always appropriate. Keep in mind that certain operations "burn" AUTO_INCREMENT ids. This could lead to an unexpected gap. Examples: INSERT IGNORE and REPLACE. They may preallocate an id before realizing that it won't be need...

There is already a separate entry for "FLOAT, DOUBLE, and DECIMAL" and "ENUM". A single page on datatypes is likely to be unwieldy -- I suggest "Field types" (or should it be called "Datatypes"?) be an overview, then split into these topic pages: INTs FLO...

These are the bitwise operators in VB.NET : And, Or, Xor, Not Example of And bitwise operation Dim a as Integer a = 3 And 5 The value of a will be 1. The result is obtained after comparing 3 and 5 in binary for. 3 in binary form is 011 and 5 in binary form is 101. The And operator places 1 if ...

String concatenation is when you combine two or more strings into a single string variable. String concatenation is performed with the & symbol. Dim one As String = "Hello " Dim two As String = "there" Dim result As String = one & two Non-string values will be conv...

Joseph Fourier showed that any periodic wave can be represented by a sum of simple sine waves. This sum is called the Fourier Series. The Fourier Series only holds while the system is linear. If there is, eg, some overflow effect (a threshold where the output remains the same no matter how much inpu...

using System; using System.Threading; using System.Threading.Tasks; class Program { static void Main( string[] args ) { object sync = new object(); int sum = 0; Parallel.For( 1, 1000, ( i ) => { lock( sync ) sum = sum + i; // lock is necessa...

Using the Library Database, we try to find the last book added to the database for each author. For this simple example we assume an always incrementing Id for each record added. SELECT MostRecentBook.Name, MostRecentBook.Title FROM ( SELECT Authors.Name, Books.Title, ...

Not all objects can be converted to a JSON string. When an object has cyclic self-references, the conversion will fail. This is typically the case for hierarchical data structures where parent and child both reference each other: const world = { name: 'World', regions: [] }; world.region...

Creating a ServiceHost programmatically (without config file) in its most basic form: namespace ConsoleHost { class ConsoleHost { ServiceHost mHost; public Console() { mHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Example), new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:9000/Example")); ...
