for typescript 2.x: definitions from DefinitelyTyped are available via @types npm package npm i --save lodash npm i --save-dev @types/lodash but in case if you want use types from other repos then can be used old way: for typescript 1.x: Typings is an npm package that can automatically insta...

In Swift, we can exponentiate Doubles with the built-in pow() method: pow(BASE, EXPONENT) In the code below, the base (5) is set to the power of the exponent (2) : let number = pow(5.0, 2.0) // Equals 25

Lambda functions in C++ are syntactic sugar that provide a very concise syntax for writing functors. As such, equivalent functionality can be obtained in C++03 (albeit much more verbose) by converting the lambda function into a functor: // Some dummy types: struct T1 {int dummy;}; struct T2 {int ...

There are two main versions of IntelliJ IDEA: the Community edition and the Ultimate edition. The Community edition is free and is not lacking for features in terms of Java SE development. Windows & Linux Download IntelliJ IDEA from the JetBrains website, and follow installation procedures. If...

fs.access() determines whether a path exists and what permissions a user has to the file or directory at that path. fs.access doesn't return a result rather, if it doesn't return an error, the path exists and the user has the desired permissions. The permission modes are available as a property on ...

Due to Node's asynchronous nature, creating or using a directory by first: checking for its existence with fs.stat(), then creating or using it depending of the results of the existence check, can lead to a race condition if the folder is created between the time of the check and the time of ...

A macro can call itself, like a function recursion: macro_rules! sum { ($base:expr) => { $base }; ($a:expr, $($rest:expr),+) => { $a + sum!($($rest),+) }; } Let's go though the expansion of sum!(1, 2, 3): sum!(1, 2, 3) // ^ ^~~~ // $a $rest => 1 + sum!(2, 3)...

docker inspect supports Go Templates via the --format option. This allows for better integration in scripts, without resorting to pipes/sed/grep traditional tools. Print a container internal IP: docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' 7786807d8084 This is useful for direct ne...

Given a sequence of steps we use repeatedly, it's often handy to store it in a function. Pipes allow for saving such functions in a readable format by starting a sequence with a dot as in: . %>% RHS As an example, suppose we have factor dates and want to extract the year: library(magrittr) ...

There is a limit to the depth of possible recursion, which depends on the Python implementation. When the limit is reached, a RuntimeError exception is raised: def cursing(depth): try: cursing(depth + 1) # actually, re-cursing except RuntimeError as RE: print('I recursed {} times!'....

Suppose we want to write a factory function that accepts an arbitrary list of arguments and passes those arguments unmodified to another function. An example of such a function is make_unique, which is used to safely construct a new instance of T and return a unique_ptr<T> that owns the instan...

Defining a member block inside a resource creates a route that can act on an individual member of that resource-based route: resources :posts do member do get 'preview' end end This generates the following member route: get '/posts/:id/preview', to: 'posts#preview' # preview_post_p...

If you are building a function that may be heavy on the processor (either clientside or serverside) you may want to consider a memoizer which is a cache of previous function executions and their returned values. This allows you to check if the parameters of a function were passed before. Remember, p...

With virtual member functions: #include <iostream> struct X { virtual void f() { std::cout << "X::f()\n"; } }; struct Y : X { // Specifying virtual again here is optional // because it can be inferred from X::f(). virtual void f() { std::cout <&lt...

SQLite is a C library that is typically compiled directly into the application by downloading the source code of the latest version, and adding the sqlite3.c file to the project. Many script languages (e.g., Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.) and frameworks (e.g., Android) have support for SQLite; this is d...

:root { --W200: 200px; --W10: 10px; } .Bx2 { width: var(--W200); height: var(--W200); margin: var(--W10); }

Raw direct IO file_get_contents and file_put_contents provide the ability to read/write from/to a file to/from a PHP string in a single call. file_put_contents can also be used with the FILE_APPEND bitmask flag to append to, instead of truncate and overwrite, the file. It can be used along with LO...

Get all ice cream cones that were ordered by people liking chocolate: IceCream.objects.filter(metadata__buyer__favorite_flavor='chocolate') See the note in the "Remarks" section about chaining queries.

This assumes you have a twilio account and have purchased/reserved a phone number... If you are using bundler add the following line to your Gemfile to include twilio-ruby in your project: gem 'twilio-ruby' otherwise enter gem install twilio-ruby on the command line. You might need sudo if you'...

The iloc (short for integer location) method allows to select the rows of a dataframe based on their position index. This way one can slice dataframes just like one does with Python's list slicing. df = pd.DataFrame([[11, 22], [33, 44], [55, 66]], index=list("abc")) df # Out: # 0...
