REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer and was coined by Roy Fielding in his doctoral thesis Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures. In it he identifies specific architectural principles like: Addressable Resources: the key abstraction of informatio...

Good unit tests are independent, but code often has dependencies. We use various kinds of test doubles to remove the dependencies for testing. One of the simplest test doubles is a stub. This is a function with a hard-coded return value called in place of the real-world dependency. // Test that ...

If you are able to download an update of Android Studio, but after it restarts nothing happens, check out the following example: After the patch was downloaded and Android Studio closed, open the terminal Go to your android studio folder, e.g. cd ~/android-studio Go to bin subfolder: cd bin ...

Messages printed from NSLog are displayed on Console.app even in the release build of your app, which doesn't make sense for printouts that are only useful for debugging. To fix this, you can use this macro for debug logging instead of NSLog. #ifdef DEBUG #define DLog(...) NSLog(__VA_ARGS__) #els...

First, import the libraries that work with files: from os import listdir from os.path import isfile, join, exists A helper function to read only files from a directory: def get_files(path): for file in listdir(path): full_path = join(path, file) if isfile(full_path): ...

// *** Find Distinct object ids of array *** NSLog(@"Distinct id : %@",[array valueForKeyPath:@"@distinctUnionOfObjects.id"]);

There are times in which it is desirable to consolidate factor levels into fewer groups, perhaps because of sparse data in one of the categories. It may also occur when you have varying spellings or capitalization of the category names. Consider as an example the factor set.seed(1) colorful <...

C++17 C++17 introduces std::string_view, which is simply a non-owning range of const chars, implementable as either a pair of pointers or a pointer and a length. It is a superior parameter type for functions that requires non-modifiable string data. Before C++17, there were three options for this: ...

NSString *pathToPlist = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"plistName" ofType:@"plist"]; NSDictionary *plistDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:pathToPlist];

A common usage scenario that this feature really helps with is when you are looking for an object in a collection and need to create a new one if it does not already exist. IEnumerable<MyClass> myList = GetMyList(); var item = myList.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Id == 2) ?? new MyClass { Id = 2...

// define url let url = NSURL(string: "https://urlToGet.com") //create a task to get data from a url let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(url!) { /*inside this block, we have access to NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, and NSError...

The simplest way to concatenate list1 and list2: merged = list1 + list2 zip returns a list of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables: alist = ['a1', 'a2', 'a3'] blist = ['b1', 'b2', 'b3'] for a, b in zip(alist, blist):...

One of the more popular .NET providers for Postgresql is Npgsql, which is ADO.NET compatible and is used nearly identically as other .NET database providers. A typical query is performed by creating a command, binding parameters, and then executing the command. In C#: var connString = "Host=m...
