In old day, when using javascript to create timer,

setInterval or setTimeout are standard function to implement
A few other way to do is using third-party npm library.
or even calling c++ as native timer.

with ES2016, await and asyn keyword has been introducted into.
Here is example.

function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
 
async function demo() {
  console.log('Taking a break...');
  await sleep(2000);
  console.log('Two second later');
}
 
demo();

sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
 
/etc/fstab:
/var/swap.1 swap swap defaults 0 0
 
# if it not mounted as swap, using command 
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1

swap size should be 2 times than Memory for 512MB, 1GB Memory.
Why? take Memory size 512MB for example, when 512MB is full, it will put into some of data into swap,
if now machine is sleeping, it will put 512MB into swap.
therefore, ideally swap should be 2 times than physical memory.

However, for large memory such as 16GB, swap size is based on what you need, for example, 2GB.

sometime when we build maven, junit will also be invoked to test code.

usually, these unit test will fail because of development machine configures are different.

there are two commands which could skip test.

$ mvn package -DskipTests
$ mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

“-DskipTests” is to build test source code but don’t run them.
“-Dmaven.test.skip=true” don’t do anything for test source code, do not compile and do not run for test code.

In our project on google map, we have to display some custom marker pins use png.

google api provide great function for this purposes.
Here is a example URL
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chst=d_map_spin&chld=0.3|0|78909A|13|b|
you could change scale 0.3 to any size with fill in color 78909A,
font size 13 is for font to put into pin text

click on the url to view excellent markers.

var grid = $find(“<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>“);
var ctrl_hiddenfield = $telerik.findControl(grid.get_element(),”hiddenfield_name”);

libtar is small but effective library, although it has some bugs when dealing with long path.

The Steps are following:
download libtar-1.2.11 and uncompress it, the main path is /path/libtar-1.2.11

build with command “./configure && make”, if you want to debug, add “-g” for gcc to build.

make “test” folder “/path/libtar-1.2.11/test”. find header file and libtar.a file

put 1.c in “/path/libtar-1.2.11/test”

so finally, the build command will be “g++ 1.c -o 1 ../lib/libtar.a -I ../bin/libtar-1.2.11/include”

some important code, for example, char* subfile1 = “./sub1/1.txt”
this is for file under sub folder.
