...built-in types (int etc.), but it is allowed for user-defined types: (std::string("A")+"B").append("C"). – sbi Oct 14 '09 at 16:51 6 ...

...t;< : *sites # merge *sites into this mapping ? www.baz.com # add extra stuff Some things to notice. Firstly, since << is a key, it can only be specified once per node. Secondly, when using a sequence as the value, the order is significant. This doesn't matter in the example here, s...

... students are not trained for it. It's easy when you are writing your own string class. When you are testing a real-life product, you run into challenges that nobody told you about in the powerpoint slides: User interaction. Half of your application is the user interface logic. How do you test it...

...orm was used in elixir because it still looks like a function call with an extra character. It's close enough to a function call. I did not think about all the pros and cons, but it looks like in both languages you could get away with just the brackets as long as you make brackets mandatory for ano...

...orwarded-For" on the one hand, vs. (B) app developers passing app-specific strings to/from client and server. The spec only concerns itself with the former, (A). The question here is whether there are conventions for (B). There are. They involve grouping the parameters together alphabetically, and s...

...truth. In every Flux implementation I've seen Actions are basically event strings turned into objects, like traditionally you'd have an event named "anchor:clicked" but in Flux it would be defined as AnchorActions.Clicked. They're even so "dumb" that most implementations have separate Dispatcher ob...

...licy, but luckily Oracle bought Berkeley DB. We also had to write a lot of extra tools - we couldn't just use Crystal Reports for example. The other disadvantage of our graph database was that we built it ourselves, which meant when we hit a problem (usually with scalability) we had to solve it our...

...e as an embeddable (?U) for inside the pattern, so you can use it with the String class’s wrappers, too. It also sports corrected definitions for various other properties, too. It now tracks The Unicode Standard, in both RL1.2 and RL1.2a from UTS#18: Unicode Regular Expressions. This is an excit...

... Distance run by slow: x + y Distance run by fast: x + m(y + z) + y i.e. extra y where they meet Since fast runs with twice the speed of slow, and that they have been running for same time, it implies that if we double the distance ran by slow, we get the distance ran by fast. Thus, 2(x + y) =...

...rticle. While I agree with the choice of a sortable format if it must be a string at all, a unix timestamp (which the article does not even acknowledge) has every one of the stated benefits and more. Until presentation, the issues of timezones and daylight savings (and political decisions) don't eve...
