Two erlang processes can communicate with each other, wich is also known as message passing. This procedure is asynchronous in the form that the sending process will not halt after sending the message. Sending Messages This can be achieved with the construct Pid !

Most performance tips are very dependent of the current state of JS engines and are expected to be only relevant at a given time. The fundamental law of performance optimization is that you must first measure before trying to optimize, and measure again after a presumed optimization. To measure cod...

The CustomEvent API allows developers to create custom events and trigger them on DOM nodes, passing data along the way. event = new CustomEvent(typeArg, customEventInit); typeArg - DOMString representing the name of the event. customEventInit - is optional parameters (that will be passed as e ...

To copy a data.frame as a data.table, use as.data.table or data.table: DF = data.frame(x = letters[1:5], y = 1:5, z = (1:5) > 3) DT <- as.data.table(DF) # or DT <- data.table(DF) This is rarely necessary. One exception is when using built-in datasets like mtcars, which must be copi...

It is generally not considered 'best practice' to re-purpose the reserved names of Properties or Methods as the name(s) of your own procedures and variables. Bad Form - While the following is (strictly speaking) legal, working code the re-purposing of the Find method as well as the Row, Column and ...

To use just the time part of a Date use LocalTime. You can instantiate a LocalTime object in a couple ways LocalTime time = LocalTime.now(); time = LocalTime.MIDNIGHT; time = LocalTime.NOON; time = LocalTime.of(12, 12, 45); LocalTime also has a built in toString method that displays the for...

survival is the most commonly used package for survival analysis in R. Using the built-in lung dataset we can get started with Survival Analysis by fitting a regression model with the survreg() function, creating a curve with survfit(), and plotting predicted survival curves by calling the predict m...

:set foldmethod={method} sets the fold method for the current window. This determines how folds are manipulated within that window. Valid options for "method" are: manual (folds are manually created and destroyed by the user) indent (folds are created for lines of equal indentation) m...

Applying css intuitively doesn't produce the desired results because vertical-align:middle isn't applicable to block-level elements margin-top:auto and margin-bottom:auto used values would compute as zero margin-top:-50% percentage-based margin values are calculated relative to the width of ...

var go = GameObject.Find("NameOfTheObject"); ProsConsEasy to usePerformance degrades along the number of gameobjects in sceneStrings are weak references and suspect to user errors

var go = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player"); ProsConsPossible to search both single objects and entire groupsStrings are weak references and suspect to user errors.Relatively fast and efficientCode is not portable as tags are hard coded in scripts.

ExampleScript script = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ExampleScript>(); GameObject go = script.gameObject; FindObjectOfType() returns null if none is found. ProsConsStrongly typedPerformance degrades along the number of gameobjects needed to evaluatePossible to search both single objects...

Early on a Flash developer uses frames, as they are natively available in Flash player, to host various screens of their application (most often it's a game). Eventually they might stumble upon an issue that something goes wrong exactly because they have used frames, and overlooked the difficulties ...
