Possibly because Python 2.6 not only allowed True = False but also allowed you to say funny things like: __builtin__.True = False which would reset True to False for the entire process. It can lead to really funny things happening: >>> import __builtin__ >>> __builtin__.True = False >>> True False >>> False False >>> __builtin__.False … Read more
Its not a javascript reserved word, its an html attribute. Any DOM element can have a name. Looks like your syntax editor will still highlight it.
It allows the differentiation of bitwise const and logical const. Logical const is when an object doesn’t change in a way that is visible through the public interface, like your locking example. Another example would be a class that computes a value the first time it is requested, and caches the result. Since c++11 mutable … Read more
James Gosling created the original JVM with support of goto statements, but then he removed this feature as needless. The main reason goto is unnecessary is that usually it can be replaced with more readable statements (like break/continue) or by extracting a piece of code into a method.

You could create a dummy #include file of the following form: #pragma once #ifdef __INTELLISENSE__ void __syncthreads(); … #endif This should hide the fake prototypes from the CUDA and Visual C++ compilers, but still make them visible to IntelliSense.

transient variables are never serialized in java. It marks a member variable not to be serialized when it is persisted to streams of bytes. When an object is transferred through the network, the object needs to be ‘serialized’. Serialization converts the object state to serial bytes. Those bytes are sent over the network and the … Read more
C++ FAQ: If you find ordinary type safety helps you get systems correct (it does; especially in large systems), you’ll find const correctness helps also. You should use const when you want to be sure not to change variable accidentally or intentionally. Some constants (globals and class static, strings & integers, but not variables with … Read more
The MySql EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a synonym for DESCRIBE or as a way to obtain information about how MySQL executes a SELECT statement. The closest equivalent statement for SQL Server is: SET SHOWPLAN_ALL (Transact-SQL) or SET SHOWPLAN_XML (Transact-SQL) From a SQL Server Management Studio query window, you could run SET SHOWPLAN_ALL … Read more
1: The problem in the example f :: State s a f = State $ \x -> y where y = … x … is the parameter x. Things in the where clause can refer only to the parameters of the function f (there are none) and things in outer scopes. 2: To use a … Read more
if(!(child is IContainer)) is the only operator to go (there’s no IsNot operator). You can build an extension method that does it: public static bool IsA<T>(this object obj) { return obj is T; } and then use it to: if (!child.IsA<IContainer>()) And you could follow on your theme: public static bool IsNotAFreaking<T>(this object obj) { … Read more
