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...

The specifier override has a special meaning in C++11 onwards, if appended at the end of function signature. This signifies that a function is Overriding the function present in base class & The Base class function is virtual There is no run time significance of this specifier as is mainl...

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...

A typical use case for a filter is to remove values from an array. In this example we pass in an array and remove any nulls found in it, returning the array. function removeNulls() { return function(list) { for (var i = list.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if (typeof list[i...

Another use case for filters is to format a single value. In this example, we pass in a value and we are returned an appropriate true boolean value. function convertToBooleanValue() { return function(input) { if (typeof input !== 'undefined' && input !== null ...

In Python 2, <> is a synonym for !=; likewise, `foo` is a synonym for repr(foo). Python 2.x2.7 >>> 1 <> 2 True >>> 1 <> 1 False >>> foo = 'hello world' >>> repr(foo) "'hello world'" >>> `foo` "'hello world'"...

IceCream.objects.filter(metadata__ordered_by='Guido Van Rossum')

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.

An integer will be interpreted as an index lookup. IceCream.objects.filter(metadata__buyer__known_for__0='creating stack overflow') See the note in the "Remarks" section about chaining queries.

To iterate all files, including in sub directories, use os.walk: import os for root, folders, files in os.walk(root_dir): for filename in files: print root, filename root_dir can be "." to start from current directory, or any other path to start from. Python 3.x3.5 If ...

You can create a TCP server using the socketserver library. Here's a simple echo server. Server side from sockerserver import BaseRequestHandler, TCPServer class EchoHandler(BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): print('connection from:', self.client_address) while True:...

A UDP server is easily created using the socketserver library. a simple time server: import time from socketserver import BaseRequestHandler, UDPServer class CtimeHandler(BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): print('connection from: ', self.client_address) # Get message and cli...

The vast majority of Python memory management is handled with reference counting. Every time an object is referenced (e.g. assigned to a variable), its reference count is automatically increased. When it is dereferenced (e.g. variable goes out of scope), its reference count is automatically decreas...

The only time the garbage collector is needed is if you have a reference cycle. The simples example of a reference cycle is one in which A refers to B and B refers to A, while nothing else refers to either A or B. Neither A or B are accessible from anywhere in the program, so they can safely be dest...

The typing.TypeVar is a generic type factory. It's primary goal is to serve as a parameter/placeholder for generic function/class/method annotations: import typing T = typing.TypeVar("T") def get_first_element(l: typing.Sequence[T]) -> T: """Gets the first ele...

Enum constants are instantiated when an enum is referenced for the first time. Therefore, that allows to implement Singleton software design pattern with a single-element enum. public enum Attendant { INSTANCE; private Attendant() { // perform some initialization routine ...
