  We can create a function p in the following code: var p = function() { }; if (typeof(console) != 'undefined' && console.log) { p = function() { console.log(arguments); }; } but the arguments are passed like an array to console.log, instead of passed one by one as in console.log(arguments[0], arguments[1], arguments[2],…

• TextMate can show definition of a function easily?

  - by Jian Lin

  I am using TextMate on a Ruby on Rails project and wonder if you can put the mouse on link_to, and then press a key and it will show the definition of link_to, or does this for any other helper functions? Or, click open a box and type in a function name and it will show you the definition?

  - by Jian Lin

  Usually when looking for some items not showing up in the other table, we can use: select * from gifts where giftID not in (select giftID from sentgifts); or select * from gifts where giftID not in (select distinct giftID from sentgifts); the second line is with "distinct" added, so that the resulting table is smaller, and…

  - by Jian Lin

  In Javascript, I am sometimes too immerged in the idea that a function creates a new scope, that sometimes I even think the following anonymous function will create a new scope when it is being defined and assigned to onclick: <a href="#" id="link1">ha link 1</a> <a href="#" id="link2">ha link 2</a>…

• In CSS, does it make sense or is it legal to nest an id in another id -- such as "#main #display img

  - by Jian Lin

  In CSS, if it is #main #display img { height: 80px } that means all images within an element with id display that is within another element with id main. But does it make sense or is it legal since id seems to be just global names. It is because SASS actually allow nesting and some code may nest it like #main width:…

• Can TextMate be changed to "shift text to right" by highlighting text and pressing Tab?

  - by Jian Lin

  Can TextMate be changed to "shift text to right" by highlighting text and pressing Tab? Right now it actually replace the whole selected text with a tab character but I almost never want to do something like that. I think some other editors like Notepad++ will indent to the next level.

• why adding a simple div to HAML will break the code?

  - by Jian Lin

  it is quite strange that the following works: - 1.upto(30) do |i| = i %br but the following won't: %div this line - 1.upto(30) do |i| = i %br Isn't the second part just to add a div and let the numbers go into that div?

• With database table design, Is there an advantage of using special naming convention for a Many-to-m

  Whenever there is a many-to-many relationship, I think there will be immediately a many-to-many table needed (also called a junction table). Is there any advantage of using special naming convention for these tables, as opposed to the other 1 to many tables? Or are there popular special naming conventions used by…

• In SQL, a Join is actually an Intersection? And it is also a linkage or a "Sideway Union"?

  - by Jian Lin

  I always thought of a Join in SQL as some kind of linkage between two tables. For example, select e.name, d.name from employees e, departments d where employees.deptID = departments.deptID In this case, it is linking two tables, to show each employee with a department name instead of a department ID. And…

• In Ruby, why is a method invocation not able to be treated as a unit when "do" and "end" is used?

  - by Jian Lin

  The following question is related to the question "Ruby Print Inject Do Syntax". My question is, can we insist on using do and end and make it work with puts or p? This works: a = [1,2,3,4] b = a.inject do |sum, x| sum + x end puts b # prints out 10 so, is it correct to say, inject is an instance method…

  In SQL, can we always write an inner join statement as a main query and subquery? For example, select * from gifts g where g.giftID in (select giftID from sentGifts); can do a join and show the gifts sent in the sentGifts table, but it won't be able to show the sentTime because that is inside the subquery?
