Example of usage (contrived!): rename .mp3 files to .txt.
I'd like to be able to do something like
find -name '*.mp3' -print0 | xargs -0 -I'file' mv file ${file%.mp3}.txt
This doesn't work, so I've resorted to piping find's output through sed -e 's/.mp3//g', which does the trick.
Seems a bit hackish though; is there a way to use the...

Suppose I have two tables, one with blog posts and another with readers and their comments:
Table 1:
table name: BlogPosts:
structure:
id (int)
title (string)
Table 2:
table name: Readers:
id (int)
blog_post_id (int)
name (string)
comment (string)
in the Readers table there is a unique composite key on blog_post_id/name (i.e....
I'm sure there's an easy solution for this but I'm new to Rails and need help with syntax.

Perl has a conditional operator that is the same a C's conditional operator.
To refresh, the conditional operator in C and in Perl is:
(test) ? (if test was true) : (if test was false)
and if used with an lvalue you can assign and test with one action:
my $x= $n==0 ? "n is 0" : "n is not 0";
I was reading Igor Ostrovsky's blog o...

This is a valid enum
public enum myEnum
{
a= 1,
b= 2,
c= 3,
d= 4,
e= 5,
f= 6,
g= 7,
h= 0xff
};
But this is not
public enum myEnum
{
1a = 1,
2a = 2,
3a = 3,
};
Is there a way I can use an number in a enum. I already have code to populate dropdowns from enums so it would be quite handy

I'm looking at the MSDN docs about List.GetEnumerator.
They say the C# method signature is:
public List<(Of <(<'T>)>)>..::..Enumerator GetEnumerator()
I was expecting this much simpler signature:
public List<T>.Enumerator GetEnumerator()
What does their signature mean, with all the punctuation and the "Of" keyword?
Edit: Well, I ...
This is a completely theoretical question. Suppose the following code:
>>> class C:
... a = 10
... def f(self): self.a = 999
...
>>>
>>> C.a
10
>>> c = C()
>>> c.a
10
>>> c.f()
>>> c.a
999
At this point, is class variable C.a still accessible through the object c?
