Array.forEach

-

Definition

arr.forEach(function callback(currentValue, index, array) {
  //your iterator
}[, thisArg]);

Sample Code

var arr = ["a", "b", "c"];
 
arr.forEach(function(x) { console.log(x); });

Using thisArg

I actually can’t think of a good purpose for this – any example I see can be done differently, and it would be clearer in my opinion. But I’m sure there are some good use cases:

var item = { sum: 0 };
 
[1,2,3].forEach(function(x) { this.sum += x; }, item);
 
console.log(item.sum); // 6

Notes

Weird things happen when you add or remove items from the array. I would recommend never modifying the array from within forEach.

Browser Requirements

Polyfill

if (!Array.prototype.forEach) {
 Array.prototype.forEach = function(callback) {
  var T, k;
  if (this == null) {
    throw new TypeError('this is null or not defined');
  }
 
  var O = Object(this);
  var len = O.length >>> 0;
  if (typeof callback !== 'function') {
    throw new TypeError(callback + ' is not a function');
  }
  if (arguments.length > 1) {
    T = arguments[1];
  }
  k = 0;
  while (k < len) {
    var kValue;
    if (k in O) {
      kValue = O[k];
      callback.call(T, kValue, k, O);
    }
    k++;
  }
 };
}

Left Join in Entity Framework

-

If you need a left join in Entity Framework, you have a couple options. First, if you’re using a real foreign key that just happens to be nullable, then you can use the regular navigation properties. But if you’re doing a left join manually, or with other factors, then you need to do things just a little differently: Suppose we have the following database: create table dbo . Foods ( FoodID int not null identity primary key , FoodName varchar ( 100 ) not null ) ; go insert dbo . Foods ( FoodName ) values ( 'Pizza' ) , ( 'Chicken' ) , ( 'Potatoes' ) , ( 'Broccoli' ) ; go create table dbo . People ( PersonID int not null identity primary key , FirstName varchar ( 100 ) not null , FavoriteFoodID int null , constraint FK_Person_FavoriteFoodID foreign key ( FavoriteFoodID ) references dbo . Foods ( FoodID ) ) ; go insert dbo . People ( FirstName , FavoriteFoodID ) values ( 'John' , 1 ) , ...

Create Bootable USB from Windows

I've had amazingly bad luck with different programs and operating systems, just trying to create bootable thumb drives. In Windows, when creating a Windows bootable USB, this seems to work, with the instructions found here : No promises that this will work everywhere. C:\> diskpart Diskpart> list disk Diskpart> sel disk 1  <-- (the number of your usb) Diskpart> clean Diskpart> create part pri Diskpart> format fs=ntfs quick Diskpart> Active Diskpart> Assign Now copy the install files to the drive, and use it to boot.
