Interesting read: Time eating bug of the day… – Fabian S. Biehn – Google+.

TL;DR: in SQL Server use SET NOCOUNT ON so tools taking the last modified record count won’t be confused by your trigger.

Return empty cell from formula in Excel – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/19

I never thought you could do it, but you can: [Archive.is] Return empty cell from formula in Excel – Stack Overflow.

You have to crate:

  • a VBA function
  • a reference to a range that evaluates the function so it returns blank
  • a cell with a function that blanks the cell using the range

Convoluted, but clever!

RosettaCode: cool way to improve your coding skills

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/01/22

Wow: I feel like having lived under a stone for 8 years, as RosettaCode has been alive since it was founded in 2007 by Mike Mol.

The idea is that you solve a task and learn from that, or learn by seeing how others have solved tasks or draft tasks.

So in a sense it is similar to the Rosetta stone: it has different languages phrasing the same tasks.

There are already a whole bunch of languages on RosettaCode (of which a few are in the categories below), and you can even suggest or add your own languages.

When you want to solve tasks, be sure to look at the list unimplemented tasks by language that leads to automatic reports by language (for instance two of the languages I use most often: C# and Delphi).

I’m sure there are lots of programming chrestomathy sites, even beyond the ones, and it feels very similar to programming kata sites.
