Just a note for myself here, I always forget this one. If you’ve made a change to an apache configuration file for a plesk website, you need to run this command to tell Plesk about it.

This is just a quick tip. Let’s say that you’ve got “http://www.google.com/search?q=1234″ in cell B1 in Excel, but you want to display “google.com”. You can use this formula:

I just posted benchmarks for checking for an empty string that I ran when looking to improve the efficiency of an application. Another simple benchmark I ran was for ways to check if an array is empty.
Like strings, there are a ton of ways to check if am array is empty. These here are not exhaustive, but a few that I chose to test:
I run an application that requires a very high level of efficiency due to very high volume. I recently did an evaluation of efficiency for this application and performed a benchmark on a number of important aspects of the code. My findings were very interesting.
As you may know, there are a ton of ways to check if a string is empty. These here are not exhaustive, but a few that I chose to test:
