MEGA Error "Invalid Sync Status Due to Too Many Changes in Your Account" Solution 1: Open MEGA app from systray, click 'Force Full Scan'.

Non-working Code With all tags inside SVG tag, calc doesn’t work stably with percent unit as tested, eg. this results in unstable rendering: 123<svg>    <line x1="calc(10% + 10px)" y1="0" x2="calc(10% + 50px)" y2="0"/></svg> Work-around Combine percent and px by 2 steps. G tag alone is not an option, coz it has transform attribute but no x and y; SVG tag (svg inside svg) alone is not an option, coz it has x and y but no transform. Solution: 1234567<svg id="Global-Svg"...

Sublime Text has an unbeatable feature for reading deep logics especially in algorithms: Open the same file in multiple tabs The reason for it is when deep logics go through multiple functions in the same files, dev can’t just scroll up or down again and again to read the logics; just open multiple tabs with views to multiple sections of code in the file in multiple tabs see trace the logic. Anyway, VS Code is still the top light-weight editor generically, this feature of it is exceptiona...

Imagine a function with 10 pointers and 5 locations of return statement, this results in writing 50 lines to delete the pointers. A syntax for self-destructive pointer should be added into C and C++ languages, just add a tilde ~ in front of variable declaration and it is destroyed at any return or at the end of function. // Example void func(){ ~foo* My_Var1 = new foo(); // Self-destructive ~bar* My_Var2 = new bar(); // Self-destructive foobar* My_Var3 = new foobar(); // No...

As a result of this sin, humanity inherited a tainted nature in need of regeneration and a proclivity to sinful conduct, in the Christian doctrine of original sin. Specifically, the belief is that Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of origin...
