Create password hashes using password_hash() to use the current industry best-practice standard hash or key derivation. At time of writing, the standard is bcrypt, which means, that PASSWORD_DEFAULT contains the same value as PASSWORD_BCRYPT. $options = [ 'cost' => 12, ]; $hashedPasswor...

password_verify() is the built-in function provided (as of PHP 5.5) to verify the validity of a password against a known hash. <?php if (password_verify($plaintextPassword, $hashedPassword)) { echo 'Valid Password'; } else { echo 'Invalid Password.'; } ?> All supported hashi...

Spoilers are used to hide text or images that would otherwise negatively impact another user's experience. They can be created using >! >!This is hidden until your cursor hovers on top of it This is hidden until your cursor hovers on top of it Note: This is not part of standard markup...

Markdown tables are physically represented using dash - for to separate the header row from the content ones and pipe | for columns. ColumnColumnCellCell is produced by Column | Column ------ | ------ Cell | Cell You can also populate a table in any way you want - LetterDigitCharactera4...

Declare a new variable with var, followed by a name, type, and value: var num: Int = 10 Variables can have their values changed: num = 20 // num now equals 20 Unless they're defined with let: let num: Int = 10 // num cannot change Swift infers the type of variable, so you don't always ha...

Local variables are defined within a function, method, or closure: func printSomething() { let localString = "I'm local!" print(localString) } func printSomethingAgain() { print(localString) // error } Global variables are defined outside of a function, method, or c...

The following is handy to have in build logs that identifies the build machine, and some parameters; simply make you main task depend on this task to print it before every build. <!-- Print Environment Info --> <target name="environment"> <!-- Get the current ti...

Mathematical operations on values other than numbers return NaN. "a" + 1 "b" * 3 "cde" - "e" [1, 2, 3] * 2 An exception: Single-number arrays. [2] * [3] // Returns 6 Also, remember that the + operator concatenates strings. "a" + "b&...

Generally, Math functions that are given non-numeric arguments will return NaN. Math.floor("a") The square root of a negative number returns NaN, because Math.sqrt does not support imaginary or complex numbers. Math.sqrt(-1)

window.isNaN() The global function isNaN() can be used to check if a certain value or expression evaluates to NaN. This function (in short) first checks if the value is a number, if not tries to convert it (*), and then checks if the resulting value is NaN. For this reason, this testing method may ...

Following ways can be used for joining lists without modifying source list(s). First approach. Has more lines but easy to understand List<String> newList = new ArrayList<String>(); newList.addAll(listOne); newList.addAll(listTwo); Second approach. Has one less line but less readab...

In order to compare the equality of custom classes, you can override == and != by defining __eq__ and __ne__ methods. You can also override __lt__ (<), __le__ (<=), __gt__ (>), and __ge__ (>). Note that you only need to override two comparison methods, and Python can handle the rest (== ...

Output buffering allows you to store any textual content (Text, HTML) in a variable and send to the browser as one piece at the end of your script. By default, php sends your content as it interprets it. <?php // Turn on output buffering ob_start(); // Print some output to the buffer (via...

You can nest output buffers and fetch the level for them to provide different content using the ob_get_level() function. <?php $i = 1; $output = null; while( $i <= 5 ) { // Each loop, creates a new output buffering `level` ob_start(); print "Current nest level: &quo...

In this example, we have an array containing some data. We capture the output buffer in $items_li_html and use it twice in the page. <?php // Start capturing the output ob_start(); $items = ['Home', 'Blog', 'FAQ', 'Contact']; foreach($items as $item): // Note we're about to step &q...

ob_start(); $user_count = 0; foreach( $users as $user ) { if( $user['access'] != 7 ) { continue; } ?> <li class="users user-<?php echo $user['id']; ?>"> <a href="<?php echo $user['link']; ?>"> <?php echo $user...

<?php ob_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Example invoice</title> </head> <body> <h1>Invoice #0000</h1> <h2>Cost: £15,000</h2> ... </body> </html> <?php...

import multiprocessing def fib(n): """computing the Fibonacci in an inefficient way was chosen to slow down the CPU.""" if n <= 2: return 1 else: return fib(n-1)+fib(n-2) p = multiprocessing.Pool() print(p.map(fib,[38,37,3...

If you have already added a file to your Git repository and now want to stop tracking it (so that it won't be present in future commits), you can remove it from the index: git rm --cached <file> This will remove the file from the repository and prevent further changes from being tracked by...

Using the threading module, a new thread of execution may be started by creating a new threading.Thread and assigning it a function to execute: import threading def foo(): print "Hello threading!" my_thread = threading.Thread(target=foo) The target parameter references the fun...
