Tuples can be used to return multiple values from a method without using out parameters. In the following example AddMultiply is used to return two values (sum, product). void Write() { var result = AddMultiply(25, 28); Console.WriteLine(result.Item1); Console.WriteLine(result.Item2...

Feather is an implementation of Apache Arrow designed to store data frames in a language agnostic manner while maintaining metadata (e.g. date classes), increasing interoperability between Python and R. Reading a feather file will produce a tibble, not a standard data.frame. library(feather) pat...

The methods object.wait(), object.notify() and object.notifyAll() are meant to be used in a very specific way. (see http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/java/5409/wait-notify#t=20160811161648303307 ) The "Lost Notification" problem One common beginner mistake is to unconditionally cal...

// 1. Base example not using language support for covariance, dynamic type checking. class Top { public: virtual Top* clone() const = 0; virtual ~Top() = default; // Necessary for `delete` via Top*. }; class D : public Top { public: Top* clone() const override ...

// 2. Covariant result version of the base example, static type checking. class Top { public: virtual Top* clone() const = 0; virtual ~Top() = default; // Necessary for `delete` via Top*. }; class D : public Top { public: D* /* ← Covariant return */ clone() const over...

Often when building a Docker image, the Dockerfile contains instructions that runs programs to fetch resources from the Internet (wget for example to pull a program binary build on GitHub for example). It is possible to instruct Docker to pass set set environment variables so that such programs per...

The standard library module urllib.request can be used to download web content: from urllib.request import urlopen response = urlopen('http://stackoverflow.com/questions?sort=votes') data = response.read() # The received bytes should usually be decoded according the response's characte...

The received bytes have to be decoded with the correct character encoding to be interpreted as text: Python 3.x3.0 import urllib.request response = urllib.request.urlopen("http://stackoverflow.com/") data = response.read() encoding = response.info().get_content_charset() html = d...
