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...

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...

SQLite is a C library that is typically compiled directly into the application by downloading the source code of the latest version, and adding the sqlite3.c file to the project. Many script languages (e.g., Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.) and frameworks (e.g., Android) have support for SQLite; this is d...

:root { --W200: 200px; --W10: 10px; } .Bx2 { width: var(--W200); height: var(--W200); margin: var(--W10); }

Raw direct IO file_get_contents and file_put_contents provide the ability to read/write from/to a file to/from a PHP string in a single call. file_put_contents can also be used with the FILE_APPEND bitmask flag to append to, instead of truncate and overwrite, the file. It can be used along with LO...

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'"...

Available in Django 1.9+ from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField from django.db import models class IceCream(models.Model): metadata = JSONField() You can add the normal **options if you wish. ! Note that you must put 'django.contrib.postgres' in INSTALLED_APPS in your s...

Pass data in native Python form, for example list, dict, str, None, bool, etc. IceCream.objects.create(metadata={ 'date': '1/1/2016', 'ordered by': 'Jon Skeet', 'buyer': { 'favorite flavor': 'vanilla', 'known for': ['his rep on SO', 'writing a book'] }, ...

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.

Python 3.x3.0 Python 3 added a new keyword called nonlocal. The nonlocal keyword adds a scope override to the inner scope. You can read all about it in PEP 3104. This is best illustrated with a couple of code examples. One of the most common examples is to create function that can increment: def c...

use std::io::{Read, Result as IoResult}; use std::fs::File; struct Config(u8); fn read_config() -> IoResult<String> { let mut s = String::new(); let mut file = File::open(&get_local_config_path()) // or_else closure is invoked if Result is Err. .or_els...

Python is a hybrid interpreter. When running a program, it first assembles it into bytecode which can then be run in the Python interpreter (also called a Python virtual machine). The dis module in the standard library can be used to make the Python bytecode human-readable by disassembling classes, ...

The iloc (short for integer location) method allows to select the rows of a dataframe based on their position index. This way one can slice dataframes just like one does with Python's list slicing. df = pd.DataFrame([[11, 22], [33, 44], [55, 66]], index=list("abc")) df # Out: # 0...

Trap expressions don't have to be individual functions or programs, they can be more complex expressions as well. By combining jobs -p and kill, we can kill all spawned child processes of the shell on exit: trap 'jobs -p | xargs kill' EXIT

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 ...

To get basic information about a DataFrame including the column names and datatypes: import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame({'integers': [1, 2, 3], 'floats': [1.5, 2.5, 3], 'text': ['a', 'b', 'c'], 'ints with None': [1, None, 3]}) ...

SilverStripe can be installed via composer or through the extraction of downloaded zip file. To install through composer we run the following command composer create-project silverstripe/installer /path/to/project 3.4.0 A download zip file can be found on the download page of the SilverStripe w...

It is possible to detect whether an operator or function can be called on a type. To test if a class has an overload of std::hash, one can do this: #include <functional> // for std::hash #include <type_traits> // for std::false_type and std::true_type #include <utility> // for s...
