JavaScript Array.filter

-

The filter function in JavaScript will take an array, run a predicate against it, and return a new array containing the items that pass. It does not generally affect the original array.

class Car {
    year;
    make;
    model;
    constructor(year, make, model) {
        this.year = year;
        this.make = make;
        this.model = model;
    }
}

// Normal use: filter the items

const cars = [
    new Car(1999, "Ford", "Bronco"),
    new Car(2020, "Chevy", "Blazer"),
    new Car(2015, "Toyota", "Prius"),
    new Car(2000, "Dodge", "Dakota"),
    new Car(2012, "Ford", "Mustang")
];

const newerCars = cars.filter(c => c.year > 2010);
console.log("Newer cars:")
console.log(newerCars);
console.log("");

The function accepts a second argument representing the position inside the array, in case you care about the index - useful for seeing if something is the first or last object, or for retrieving every Nth item

It also accepts a third argument of the array itself, which can get kind of funky, so personally I avoid that one.

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.
