While the Java Date class has several constructors, you'll notice that most are deprecated. The only acceptable way of creating a Date instance directly is either by using the empty constructor or passing in a long (number of milliseconds since standard base time). Neither are handy unless you're lo...

The MATLAB Profiler is a tool for software profiling of MATLAB code. Using the Profiler, it is possible to obtain a visual representation of both execution time and memory consumption. Running the Profiler can be done in two ways: Clicking the "Run and Time" button in the MATLAB GUI...

One might want to group their data by the runs of a variable and perform some sort of analysis. Consider the following simple dataset: (dat <- data.frame(x = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1), y = 1:6)) # x y # 1 1 1 # 2 1 2 # 3 2 3 # 4 2 4 # 5 2 5 # 6 1 6 The variable x has three runs: a run of l...

The data.table package provides a convenient way to group by runs in data. Consider the following example data: library(data.table) (DT <- data.table(x = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1), y = 1:6)) # x y # 1: 1 1 # 2: 1 2 # 3: 2 3 # 4: 2 4 # 5: 2 5 # 6: 1 6 The variable x has three runs: a run ...

DT[where, select|update|do, by] syntax is used to work with columns of a data.table. The "where" part is the i argument The "select|update|do" part is the j argument These two arguments are usually passed by position instead of by name. Our example data below is mtcars =...

Key Value Coding is integrated into NSObject using NSKeyValueCoding protocol. What this means? It means that any id object is capable of calling valueForKey method and its various variants like valueForKeyPath etc. ' It also means that any id object can invoke setValue method and its various vari...

To do an insert on specific columns (as opposed to all of them) you must specify the columns you want to update. INSERT INTO USERS (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME) VALUES ('Stephen', 'Jiang'); This will only work if the columns that you did not list are nullable, identity, timestamp data type or compute...

A 16-byte GUID / UUID. DECLARE @GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER = NEWID(); SELECT @GUID -- 'E28B3BD9-9174-41A9-8508-899A78A33540' DECLARE @bad_GUID_string VARCHAR(100) = 'E28B3BD9-9174-41A9-8508-899A78A33540_foobarbaz' SELECT @bad_GUID_string, -- 'E28B3BD9-9174-41A9-8508-899A78A33540_foobarbaz' ...

NSArray *myColors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Red", @"Green", @"Blue", @"Yellow", nil]; // Convert myColors to mutable NSMutableArray *myColorsMutable = [myColors mutableCopy];

std::enable_if is a convenient utility to use boolean conditions to trigger SFINAE. It is defined as: template <bool Cond, typename Result=void> struct enable_if { }; template <typename Result> struct enable_if<true, Result> { using type = Result; }; That is, enable_...

Assuming you created the serial port object s as in this example, then to close it fclose(s) However, sometimes you can accidentally lose the port (e.g. clear, overwrite, change scope, etc...), and fclose(s) will no longer work. The solution is easy fclose(instrfindall) More info at instrfin...

The SQL 2008 standard defines the FETCH FIRST clause to limit the number of records returned. SELECT Id, ProductName, UnitPrice, Package FROM Product ORDER BY UnitPrice DESC FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY This standard is only supported in recent versions of some RDMSs. Vendor-specific non-stand...

Sometimes it's not a good practice expose an internal collection since it can lead to a malicious code vulnerability due to it's mutable characteristic. In order to provide "read-only" collections java provides its unmodifiable versions. An unmodifiable collection is often a copy of a mod...

Let's create our own error type for this example. 2.2 enum CustomError: ErrorType { case SomeError case AnotherError } func throwing() throws { throw CustomError.SomeError } 3.0 enum CustomError: Error { case someError case anotherError } func throwing() thr...

In order to specify which version of python the Linux shell should use the first line of Python scripts can be a shebang line, which starts with #!: #!/usr/bin/python If you are in a virtual environment, then python myscript.py will use the Python from your virtual environment, but ./myscript.py...

Declaring a variable const only prevents its value from being replaced by a new value. const does not put any restrictions on the internal state of an object. The following example shows that a value of a property of a const object can be changed, and even new properties can be added, because the ob...
