5 Using property descriptors we can make a property read only, and any attempt to change it's value will fail silently, the value will not be changed and no error will be thrown. The writable property in a property descriptor indicates whether that property can be changed or not. var a = { }; ...

5 We can avoid a property from showing up in for (... in ...) loops The enumerable property of the property descriptor tells whether that property will be enumerated while looping through the object's properties. var obj = { }; Object.defineProperty(obj, "foo", { value: 'show', enu...

5 A property's descriptor can be locked so no changes can be made to it. It will still be possible to use the property normally, assigning and retrieving the value from it, but any attempt to redefine it will throw an exception. The configurable property of the property descriptor is used to dis...

Syntax: SELECT * FROM table_name Using the asterisk operator * serves as a shortcut for selecting all the columns in the table. All rows will also be selected because this SELECT statement does not have a WHERE clause, to specify any filtering criteria. This would also work the same way if you...

This query will return the number of tables in the specified database. USE YourDatabaseName SELECT COUNT(*) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' Following is another way this can be done for all user tables with SQL Server 2008+. The reference is here. SELECT COUNT(...

The following queries will return a list of all Stored Procedures in the database, with basic information about each Stored Procedure: SQL Server 2005 SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' The ROUTINE_NAME, ROUTINE_SCHEMA and ROUTINE_DEFINITION columns are...

In this type of image addition, the image URL is included at the location where the image will be displayed. If you need to add the same image several times, you must include its URL every time. Markdown Source Picture of Duck:  HTML Output Pictu...

Note that these only work in the developer tools of certain browsers. $_ gives you the value of whatever expression was evaluated last. "foo" // "foo" $_ // "foo" $0 refers to the DOM element currently selected in the Inspector. So if &l...

In this type of image addition, one image can be used several times without duplicating its URL, making it a good choice when using one image multiple times in a document. Markdown Source Picture of Duck: ![Duck][1] Same picture of Duck: ![Same Duck][1] [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/uk...

While object property notation is usually written as myObject.property, this will only allow characters that are normally found in JavaScript variable names, which is mainly letters, numbers and underscore (_). If you need special characters, such as space, ☺, or user-provided content, this is poss...

Sometimes the property name needs to be stored into a variable. In this example, we ask the user what word needs to be looked up, and then provide the result from an object I've named dictionary. var dictionary = { lettuce: 'a veggie', banana: 'a fruit', tomato: 'it depends on who yo...

The function std::find, defined in the <algorithm> header, can be used to find an element in a std::vector. std::find uses the operator== to compare elements for equality. It returns an iterator to the first element in the range that compares equal to the value. If the element in question is...

What are Array-like Objects? JavaScript has "Array-like Objects", which are Object representations of Arrays with a length property. For example: var realArray = ['a', 'b', 'c']; var arrayLike = { 0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c', length: 3 }; Common examples of Array-like Objects...

null is used for representing the intentional absence of an object value and is a primitive value. Unlike undefined, it is not a property of the global object. It is equal to undefined but not identical to it. null == undefined; // true null === undefined; // false CAREFUL: The typeof null i...

At first glance it may appear that null and undefined are basically the same, however there are subtle but important differences. undefined is the absence of a value in the compiler, because where it should be a value, there hasn't been put one, like the case of an unassigned variable. undefined...

When local changes are present, the git pull command aborts reporting : error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge In order to update (like svn update did with subversion), you can run : git stash git pull --rebase git stash pop A convenient way coul...

The STUFF() function inserts a string into another string by first deleting a specified number of characters. The following example, deletes "Svr" and replaces it with "Server". This happens by specifying the start_position and length of the replacement. SELECT STUFF('SQL Svr D...

Linking to other Javadocs is done with the @link tag: /** * You can link to the javadoc of an already imported class using {@link ClassName}. * * You can also use the fully-qualified name, if the class is not already imported: * {@link some.other.ClassName} * * You can link to members...

Apple's Reachability class periodically checks the network status and alerts observers to changes. Reachability *internetReachability = [Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection]; [internetReachability startNotifier];

- (void)reachabilityChanged:(NSNotification *)note { Reachability* reachability = [note object]; NetworkStatus netStatus = [reachability currentReachabilityStatus]; if (netStatus == NotReachable) { NSLog(@"Network unavailable"); } }
