If your application is available in different languages, you usually show the current locale in the URL. scope '/(:locale)', locale: /#{I18n.available_locales.join('|')}/ do root 'example#root' # other routes end Your root will be accessible via the locales defined in I18n.available_l...

As discussed in the introduction, the gradle wrapper functionality works because a jar is downloaded into the project to be used when the gradlew command is run. However this may not get committed and after the next time the project is checked out, gradlew will fail to run with the error: Error: C...

Gradle has the ability to add a wrapper to projects. This wrapper alleviates the need for all users or continuous integration systems to have Gradle installed. It also prevents version issues where there is some incompatibility between the version the project uses and that which users have installed...

C-style bit-manipulation A bit can be cleared using the bitwise AND operator (&). // Bit x will be cleared number &= ~(1LL << x); Using std::bitset reset(x) or set(x,false) - clears the bit at position x. std::bitset<5> num(std::string("01100")); num.reset(2); ...

This is useful to see if there are any non-printable characters, or non-ASCII characters. e.g. If you have copy-pasted the code from web, you may have quotes like ” instead of standard ". $ cat -v file.txt $ cat -vE file.txt # Useful in detecting trailing spaces. e.g. $ echo '” ' | c...

Because in .NET 3.5 and older you don't have Lazy<T> class you use the following pattern: public class Singleton { private Singleton() // prevents public instantiation { } public static Singleton Instance { get { return Nested.instanc...

All collection objects contain a map method that takes a Function as an argument, which must take a single argument. This returns an Iterable backed by the collection. When the Iterable is iterated, each step calls the function with a new element of the collection, and the result of the call becomes...

Basic usage of dependency injection is done by the annotations. When you need to tweak things a little bit, you need custom code to further specify how you want some classes to be instantiated and injected. This code goes in what is called a Module. import com.google.inject.AbstractModule // Pla...

LISP and Scheme's greatest advantage over other mainstream programming language is their macro system. Unlike the C preprocessor and other macro languages, Scheme macros take parsed code as input and return expanded code as output. This is one of the applications of Scheme's “code is data” phrase, a...

A file can be opened for reading as a stream using WITH-OPEN-FILE macro. (with-open-file (file #P"test.file") (loop for i from 0 for line = (read-line file nil nil) while line do (format t "~d: ~a~%" i line))) ; 0: Foobar ; 1: Barfoo ; 2: Quuxbar...

Whatever you do to customize Vim, it should NEVER happen outside of $HOME: on Linux, BSD and Cygwin, $HOME is usually /home/username/, on Mac OS X, $HOME is /Users/username/, on Windows, $HOME is usually C:\Users\username\. The canonical location for your vimrc and your vim directory is at ...

Like most scripting languages, vimscript has variables. One can define a variable with the :let command: let variable = value and delete it with :unlet: unlet variable In Vim, variables can be scoped by prepending a single letter and a colon to their name. Plugin authors use that feature to...
