You can use git merge --squash to squash changes introduced by a branch into a single commit. No actual commit will be created. git merge --squash <branch> git commit This is more or less equivalent to using git reset, but is more convenient when changes being incorporated have a symbolic...

Applies the last stash without removing it from the stack git stash apply Or a specific stash git stash apply stash@{n}

The background-attachment property sets whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page. body { background-image: url('img.jpg'); background-attachment: fixed; } ValueDescriptionscrollThe background scrolls along with the element. This is default.fixedThe backgro...

The background-repeat property sets if/how a background image will be repeated. By default, a background-image is repeated both vertically and horizontally. div { background-image: url("img.jpg"); background-repeat: repeat-y; } Here's how a background-repeat: repeat-y looks lik...

Math.random(); produces an evenly distributed random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) Example output: 0.22282187035307288 0.3948539895936847 0.9987191134132445

function randomMinMax(min:Number, max:Number):Number { return (min + (Math.random() * Math.abs(max - min))); } This function is called by passing a range of minimum and maximum values. Example: randomMinMax(1, 10); Example outputs: 1.661770915146917 2.5521070677787066 9.4362709657...

More complicated tests sometimes need to have things set up before you run the code you want to test. It is possible to do this in the test function itself, but then you end up with large test functions doing so much that it is difficult to tell where the setup stops and the test begins. You can als...

Example that builds an executable (editor) and links a library (highlight) to it. Project structure is straightforward, it needs a master CMakeLists and a directory for each subproject: CMakeLists.txt editor/ CMakeLists.txt src/ editor.cpp highlight/ CMakeLists.txt in...

Multiple rows can be inserted with a single insert command: INSERT INTO tbl_name (field1, field2, field3) VALUES (1,2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9); For inserting large quantities of data (bulk insert) at the same time, DBMS-specific features and recommendations exist. MySQL - LOAD DATA INFILE MSSQL - B...

The setup script is the centre of all activity in building, distributing, and installing modules using the Distutils. It's purpose is the correct installation of the software. If all you want to do is distribute a module called foo, contained in a file foo.py, then your setup script can be as simpl...

Travis CI has CMake 2.8.7 pre-installed. A minimal .travis.yml script for an out-of source build language: cpp compiler: - gcc before_script: # create a build folder for the out-of-source build - mkdir build # switch to build directory - cd build # run cmake; here we assume...

The CMake version preinstalled on Travis is very old. You can use the official Linux binaries to build with a newer version. Here is an example .travis.yml: language: cpp compiler: - gcc # the install step will take care of deploying a newer cmake version install: # first we creat...

If you need a completely customized view, you'll need to subclass View (the superclass of all Android views) and provide your custom sizing (onMeasure(...)) and drawing (onDraw(...)) methods: Create your custom view skeleton: this is basically the same for every custom view. Here we create the...

Custom views can also take custom attributes which can be used in Android layout resource files. To add attributes to your custom view you need to do the following: Define the name and type of your attributes: this is done inside res/values/attrs.xml (create it if necessary). The following file...

Destructuring allows us to refer to one key in an object, but declare it as a variable with a different name. The syntax looks like the key-value syntax for a normal JavaScript object. let user = { name: 'John Smith', id: 10, email: '[email protected]', }; let {user: userName, id: us...

Add this to your vimrc: nnoremap Q @q To start recording the "throwaway" macro, use qq. To finish recording hit q (in normal mode for both). To execute the recorded macro, use Q. This is useful for macros that you need to repeat many times in a row but won't be likely to use again af...

Swift let webview = UIWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 480)) Objective-C UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)]; //Alternative way of defining frame for UIWebView UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] init]; CGRect webviewFr...

Load content in webview from the url Swift webview.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com")!)) Objective-C [webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]]];

The PrettyPrinter utility will 'pretty print' XML documents. The following code snippet pretty prints unformatted xml: import scala.xml.{PrettyPrinter, XML} val xml = XML.loadString("<a>Alana<b><c>Beth</c><d>Catie</d></b></a>") val formatt...

The library CL-PPCRE provides the function split which allows us to split strings in substrings that match a regular expression, discarding the parts of the string that do not. (cl-ppcre:split "\\." "127.0.0.1") ;; => ("127" "0" "0" "1&quot...
