Mapping models

EntityFramewok Fluent API is a powerful and elegant way of mapping your code-first domain models to underlying database. This also can be used with code-first with existing database. You have two options when using Fluent API: you can directly map your models on OnModelCreating method or you can cre...

Composite Primary Key

By using the .HasKey() method, a set of properties can be explicitly configured as the composite primary key of the entity. using System.Data.Entity; // .. public class PersonContext : DbContext { // .. protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) {...

Required properties (NOT NULL)

By using the .IsRequired() method, properties can be specified as mandatory, which means that the column will have a NOT NULL constraint. using System.Data.Entity; // .. public class PersonContext : DbContext { // .. protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelB...

Sending a POST Request with arguments using NSURLSession in Objective-C

There are two common ways to encode a POST request body: URL encoding (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) and form data (multipart/form-data). Much of the code is similar, but the way you construct the body data is different. Sending a request using URL encoding Be it you have a server for your s...

Expressions

In GSP the <%= %> syntax is rarely used due to the support for GSP expressions. A GSP expression is similar to a JSP EL expression or a Groovy GString and takes the form ${expr}: <html> <body> Hello ${params.name} </body> </html> However, unlike JSP EL ...

Using fflush on an input stream

The POSIX and C standards explicitly state that using fflush on an input stream is undefined behavior. The fflush is defined only for output streams. #include <stdio.h> int main() { int i; char input[4096]; scanf("%i", &i); fflush(stdin); // <-- unde...

Create child process and wait until it exits

This program demonstrates how to run another process using fork() and wait its termination using waitpid(): fork() creates an identical copy of the current process. The original process is the parent process, while the newly created one is the child process. Both processes continue exactly afte...

Using a Savitzky–Golay filter

Given a noisy signal: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt np.random.seed(1) x = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi,100) y = np.sin(x) + np.random.random(100) * 0.2 plt.plot(x,y) plt.show() one can smooth it using a Savitzky–Golay filter using the scipy.signal.savgol_filter() method...

Ranges of numeric types

The ranges of the integer types are implementation-defined. The header <limits> provides the std::numeric_limits<T> template which provides the minimum and maximum values of all fundamental types. The values satisfy guarantees provided by the C standard through the <climits> and (&...

Communicating with a Web Worker

Since workers run in a separate thread from the one that created them, communication needs to happen via postMessage. Note: Because of the different export prefixes, some browsers have webkitPostMessage instead of postMessage. You should override postMessage to make sure workers "work" (n...

Multiple non-identical definitions (the One Definition Rule)

If a class, enum, inline function, template, or member of a template has external linkage and is defined in multiple translation units, all definitions must be identical or the behavior is undefined according to the One Definition Rule (ODR). foo.h: class Foo { public: double x; private...

Basics of Higher Order Functions

Review Partial Application before proceeding. In Haskell, a function that can take other functions as arguments or return functions is called a higher-order function. The following are all higher-order functions: map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] ...
