In Terraform 0.12, how to skip creation of resource, if resource name already exists?

In Terraform, you’re required to decide explicitly what system is responsible for the management of a particular object, and conversely which systems are just consuming an existing object. There is no way to make that decision dynamically, because that would make the result non-deterministic and — for objects managed by Terraform — make it unclear … Read more

Getting started with autotools

Alexandre Duret-Lutz’s tutorial is my resource of choice. There are also: Autotools: a practitioner’s guide to Autoconf, Automake and Libtool Autotools Mythbuster To me, the autobook is not up to date anymore and more difficult to read. However it still contains interesting chapters like Writing Portable Bourne Shell. Also, consider learning about non-recursive automake which … Read more

Python: ulimit and nice for subprocess.call / subprocess.Popen?

Use the preexec_fn parameter to subprocess.Popen, and the resource module. Example: parent.py: #!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys import resource import subprocess def setlimits(): # Set maximum CPU time to 1 second in child process, after fork() but before exec() print “Setting resource limit in child (pid %d)” % os.getpid() resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_CPU, (1, 1)) print “CPU … Read more

Coding magazines [closed]

The venerable Dr. Dobbs Journal is still pretty good. It covers multiple platforms, and mixes some fairly hard-core technical articles with lighter fare (interviews with notables, a “Developer Diaries” column that profiles regular-Joe (and Jane) developers from a range of fields). If you are employed and have authority to spend some non-trivial amount of money … Read more

App.xaml file does not get parsed if my app does not set a StartupUri?

Rather than overriding OnStartup, try using an event instead: <Application x:Class=”My.App” xmlns=”…” Startup=”Application_Startup” ShutdownMode=”OnExplicitShutdown”> <Application.Resources> <app:ServiceLocator x:Key=”serviceLocator” /> </Application.Resources> </Application> Code behind: public partial class App : Application { public App() { } private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e) { // TODO: Parse commandline arguments and other startup work new MainWindow().Show(); } }

How to reference javafx fxml files in resource folder?

Generic Resource Lookup Information This answer discusses FXML location lookup, which is really just a subset of the generic resource lookup task in Java. The resource location is passed by the calling program as input to the FXMLLoader, so the resource lookup itself is part of your calling application code and not the FXMLLoader. For … Read more

W/System: A resource failed to call release

The answer from @guest works, but you can achieve the exact same thing without resorting to reflection using Strict Mode. Specifically, something like: StrictMode.setVmPolicy(new VmPolicy.Builder() .detectLeakedClosableObjects() .penaltyLog() .build()); In general, strict mode can do much more for you though (see link above to doc), and all you need to do for a default setup is: … Read more

Is it safe to yield from within a “with” block in Python (and why)?

I don’t really understand what conflict you’re asking about, nor the problem with the example: it’s fine to have two coexisting, independent handles to the same file. One thing I didn’t know that I learned in response to your question it that there is a new close() method on generators: close() raises a new GeneratorExit … Read more
