a null object reference evaluates to false, a non null reference to true, but for for strings, collections, iterators and enumerations it also takes into account the size. def m = null if (!m) println "empty" else println "${m}" will print "empty" de...

Sometimes it may be useful to have a specific asBoolean definition in your own program for some kind of objects. /** an oversimplified robot controller */ class RunController { def complexCondition int position = 0 def asBoolean() { return complexCondition(this...

Not all type erasure involves virtual inheritance, allocations, placement new, or even function pointers. What makes type erasure type erasure is that it describes a (set of) behavior(s), and takes any type that supports that behavior and wraps it up. All information that isn't in that set of beha...

The population count of a bitstring is often needed in cryptography and other applications and the problem has been widely studied. The naive way requires one iteration per bit: unsigned value = 1234; unsigned bits = 0; // accumulates the total number of bits set in `n` for (bits = 0; value; ...

The n & (n - 1) trick (see Remove rightmost set bit) is also useful to determine if an integer is a power of 2: bool power_of_2 = n && !(n & (n - 1)); Note that without the first part of the check (n &&), 0 is incorrectly considered a power of 2.

Install Iron Router From the terminal: meteor add iron:router Basic configuration Router.configure({ //Any template in your routes will render to the {{> yield}} you put inside your layout template layoutTemplate: 'layout', loadingTemplate: 'loading' }); Render without d...

You can default to the normal Mongo format by defining your collections with the idGeneration field. MyCollection = new Meteor.Collection('mycollection', {idGeneration : 'MONGO'});

Many beginners to Mongo struggle with basics, such as how to insert an array, date, boolean, session variable, and so forth into a document record. This example provides some guidance on basic data inputs. Todos.insert({ text: "foo", // String listId: Session...

You can get it either synchronously: var docId = Todos.insert({text: 'foo'}); console.log(docId); Or asynchronously: Todos.insert({text: 'foo'}, function(error, docId){ console.log(docId); });

Geospatial collections generally involve storing GeoJSON in the Mongo database, streaming that data to the client, accessing the browser's window.navigator.geolocation, loading up a Map API, converting GeoJSON to LatLngs, and plotting on the map. Preferably all in realtime. Here are a list of reso...

The following example will log all of your collection queries to the server console in realtime. Meteor.startup( function () { var wrappedFind = Meteor.Collection.prototype.find; // console.log('[startup] wrapping Collection.find') Meteor.Collection.prot...

If the Node event loop acts like a bicycle chain, the server-side collection observer is like a derailleur. It's a gearing mechanism that is going to sit on the data collection as the data comes in. It can be very performant, as all race bicycles have derailleurs. But it's also a source for breaking...

Inspecting an Object You can find the public methods an object can respond to using either the methods or public_methods methods, which return an array of symbols: class Foo def bar; 42; end end f = Foo.new def f.yay; 17; end p f.methods.sort #=> [:!, :!=, :!~, :<=>, :==, :===, :=...

It is possible to query an object about its instance variables using instance_variables, instance_variable_defined?, and instance_variable_get, and modify them using instance_variable_set and remove_instance_variable: class Foo attr_reader :bar def initialize @bar = 42 end end f = F...

The Kernel exposes methods for getting the list of global_variables and local_variables: cats = 42 $demo = "in progress" p global_variables.sort #=> [:$!, :$", :$$, :$&, :$', :$*, :$+, :$,, :$-0, :$-F, :$-I, :$-K, :$-W, :$-a, #=> :$-d, :$-i, :$-l, :$-p, :$-v, :$-w, :$...

Ruby offers define_method as a private method on modules and classes for defining new instance methods. However, the 'body' of the method must be a Proc or another existing method. One way to create a method from raw string data is to use eval to create a Proc from the code: xml = <<ENDXML ...

Oh-my-zsh is a community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration.
