.gitignore ignores files locally, but it is intended to be committed to the repository and shared with other contributors and users. You can set a global .gitignore, but then all your repositories would share those settings. If you want to ignore certain files in a repository locally and not make t...

A metatable defines a set of operations which alter the behaviour of a lua object. A metatable is just an ordinary table, which is used in a special way. local meta = { } -- create a table for use as metatable -- a metatable can change the behaviour of many things -- here we modify the 'tostrin...

Some metamethods don't have to be functions. To most important example for this is the __index metamethod. It can also be a table, which is then used as lookup. This is quite commonly used in the creation of classes in lua. Here, a table (often the metatable itself) is used to hold all the operation...

5.2 Objects in lua are garbage collected. Sometimes, you need to free some resource, want to print a message or do something else when an object is destroyed (collected). For this, you can use the __gc metamethod, which gets called with the object as argument when the object is destroyed. You could...

There is a metamethod called __call, which defines the bevahiour of the object upon being used as a function, e.g. object(). This can be used to create function objects: -- create the metatable with a __call metamethod local meta = { __call = function(self) self.i = self.i + 1 e...

Perhaps the most important use of metatables is the possibility to change the indexing of tables. For this, there are two actions to consider: reading the content and writing the content of the table. Note that both actions are only triggered if the corresponding key is not present in the table. Re...

Sometimes, you don't want to trigger metamethods, but really write or read exactly the given key, without some clever functions wrapped around the access. For this, lua provides you with raw table access methods: -- first, set up a metatable that allows no read/write access local meta = { __i...

In C# 5.0 and earlier the developer could only suppress warnings by number. With the introduction of Roslyn Analyzers, C# needs a way to disable warnings issued from specific libraries. With C# 6.0 the pragma directive can suppress warnings by name. Before: #pragma warning disable 0501 C# 6.0: ...

When you have an input with well defined boundaries and are expecting more than one match in your string, you have two options: Using lazy quantifiers; Using a negated character class. Consider the following: You have a simple templating engine, you want to replace substrings like $[foo] whe...

bsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] bsort s = case bsort' s of t | t == s -> t | otherwise -> bsort t where bsort' (x:x2:xs) | x > x2 = x2:(bsort' (x:xs)) | otherwise = x:(bsort' (x2:xs)) bsort' s = s

pip assists in creating requirements.txt files by providing the freeze option. pip freeze > requirements.txt This will save a list of all packages and their version installed on the system to a file named requirements.txt in the current folder.

pip assists in creating requirements.txt files by providing the freeze option. pip freeze --local > requirements.txt The --local parameter will only output a list of packages and versions that are installed locally to a virtualenv. Global packages will not be listed.

Access the nth element of a list (zero-based): list = [1 .. 10] firstElement = list !! 0 -- 1 Note that !! is a partial function, so certain inputs produce errors: list !! (-1) -- *** Exception: Prelude.!!: negative index list !! 1000 -- *** Exception: Prelude.!!: inde...

To make artisan migrate a fresh database before running tests, use DatabaseMigrations. Also if you want to avoid middleware like Auth, use WithoutMiddleware. <?php use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithoutMiddleware; use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations; class ExampleTest ...

The idea here is to move the computationally intensive jobs to C (using special macros), independent of Python, and have the C code release the GIL while it's working. #include "Python.h" ... PyObject *pyfunc(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { ... Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS //...

While RODBC is restricted to Windows computers with compatible architecture between R and any target RDMS, one of its key flexibilities is to work with Excel files as if they were SQL databases. require(RODBC) con = odbcConnectExcel("myfile.xlsx") # open a connection to the Excel file s...

Log4j gives you posibility to log data into console and file at same time. Create a log4j.properties file and put inside this basic configuration: # Root logger option log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file # Redirect log messages to console log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppende...
