I have a bunch of Angular modules declared in my app.  I originally started declaring them using the &quot;chained&quot; syntax like this:

    angular.module(&#39;mymodule&#39;, [])
        .controller(&#39;myctrl&#39;, [&#39;dep1&#39;, function(dep1){ ... }])
        .service(&#39;myservice&#39;, [&#39;dep2&#39;, function(dep2){ ... }])
        ... // more here

But I decided that wasn&#39;t very easy to read, so I started declaring them using a module variable like this:

    var mod = angular.module(&#39;mymodule&#39;, []);

    mod.controller(&#39;myctrl&#39;, [&#39;dep1&#39;, function(dep1){ ... }]);

    mod.service(&#39;myservice&#39;, [&#39;dep2&#39;, function(dep2){ ... }]);
    ...

The second syntax seems a lot more readable to me, but my only complaint is that this syntax leaves the `mod` variable out in the global scope.  If I ever have some other variable named `mod`, it would be overridden with this next one (and other issues associated with global variables).

So my question is, is this the best way?  Or would it be better to do something like this?:

    (function(){
        var mod = angular.module(&#39;mymod&#39;, []);
        mod.controller(&#39;myctrl&#39;, [&#39;dep1&#39;, function(dep1){ ... }]);
        mod.service(&#39;myservice&#39;, [&#39;dep2&#39;, function(dep2){ ... }]);
        ...
    })();

Or does it even matter enough to care?  Just curious to know what the &quot;best practices&quot; are for module declaration.  Thanks in advance.

The OS that I am using is Windows 7, and the PowerShell version that is installed here is 2.0. Is it possible for me to upgrade it to version 3.0 or 4.0?

Because there are cmdlets that version 2.0 can&#39;t recognize.

When I want to search files I use &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;,&lt;/kbd&gt;. The search box pops up and then I start typing. But the built-in preview just grabs whatever I have typed and opens the file. Even though I am still typing. 

I am trying to open a file called `report_vaccine`, but I only get as far as `report` when the preview opens the first selected report. This has rendered this form of quick file searching pretty much useless, which is frustrating because we have hundreds of procs, and scrolling through and manually finding the file is a huge pain. 

If there is a way to turn off preview, I would be fine with that. This command working properly is waaay more important to me than a preview of the file to be opened.

I don&#39;t have resharper. I think the command was like &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;t&lt;/kbd&gt;.

This has been asked before: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6902204/why-doesnt-visual-studio-code-formatting-work-properly-for-razor-markup

But that question is a couple years old.  And Razor formatting is *still* completely unacceptable. I have given up on fixing it.

Can I disable ALL Visual Studio formatting for CSHTML files? If not, can I disable all Visual Studio formatting entirely? Any 3rd party hacks I can use? There&#39;s got to be something!

I&#39;ve upgraded to 2013 and the formatting is just as bad.

[EDIT]: 2015 is god-awful as well. I REALLY wish they would fix this.

[EDIT]: 2017 is god-awful as well. I REALLY wish they would fix this.

[EDIT]: 2019 is god-awful as well. I REALLY wish they would fix this. That said, Microsoft released a new [formatting engine][1] for .Net Core only.

[EDIT]: 2022 is... Well you know. If they ignore this 12 more years I may retire before seeing it fixed!

There are tons of questions and answers about Git versus TFVC Source Control, but no current answers cover the integration of Git into Team Foundation Server/Service that I can find.   

I&#39;m starting green pasture development using a wide variety of languages (C#, C++, PHP, Javascript, MySSQL) using Visual Studio 2013. In the future, there will be some iOS development. I&#39;m very familiar with SVN, VSS and TFVC for source control. However, I have never used Git. I prefer TFS for process management/agile development... It&#39;s not perfect, but it integrates well into Visual Studio.

So, to help me decide between these two systems...

### What are the big differences between TFVC and Git for source control when using Visual Studio 2013?  

* Is the only benefit in my case a local repository (not saying that it&#39;s insignificant) and iOS development support?
* Is the only drawback to Git the command line interface (some would argue that&#39;s not a drawback ;-P).
* Have you experienced in the Visual Studio 2013 GUI for Git? Is that enough to support basic branching/merging without the command line interface?
* Is there a detailed start-up guide for Git that shows Git being used with Visual Studio 2013? Microsoft has a video for integrating an existing Git repository into Visual Studio 2013, but I&#39;m looking for a start from scratch with Git and VS 2013.

I am not looking for a book here, but just a few bullet points and maybe some relevant links from folks that have used both TFVC and Git.

I&#39;ve just started using Android Studio (IntelliJ), and I now look for the feature to find the occurrence of a string in any of the files in my project. For example: I want to find all the files that contain the string &quot;`.getUuid()`&quot;

The search at the top right doesn&#39;t give me the correct results, and I don&#39;t think I can find this feature under Edit &gt; Find.

I&#39;m trying to make a search bar that will look nice. What I did is, I made an image of an search bar and I&#39;m adding the image to the back-ground of the input and I&#39;m editing the place and the size that the font will appear.
The only thing that I can&#39;t find a way to edit is the small &#39;x&#39; button that appears when I&#39;m using input type search.
I want to move it a little bit left so it will fix my search bar image.

Here is my HTML:

    &lt;input id=&quot;search&quot; name=&quot;Search&quot; type=&quot;search&quot; value=&quot;Search&quot; /&gt;

Here is my CSS:

    #search{
        width: 480px;
        height: 49px;
        border: 3px solid black;
        padding: 1px 0 0 48px;
        font-size: 22px;
        color: blue;
        background-image: url(&#39;images/search.jpg&#39;);

I have a UISearchBar part of a UISearchDisplayController that is used to display search results from both local CoreData and remote API.
What I want to achieve is the &quot;delaying&quot; of the search on the remote API. Currently, for each character typed by the user, a request is sent. But if the user types particularly fast, it does not make sense to send many requests: it would help to wait until he has stopped typing. 
Is there a way to achieve that? 

Reading the [documentation][1] suggests to wait until the users explicitly taps on search, but I don&#39;t find it ideal in my case.

&gt; Performance issues. If search operations can be carried out very
&gt; rapidly, it is possible to update the search results as the user is
&gt; typing by implementing the searchBar:textDidChange: method on the
&gt; delegate object. However, if a search operation takes more time, you
&gt; should wait until the user taps the Search button before beginning the
&gt; search in the searchBarSearchButtonClicked: method. Always perform
&gt; search operations a background thread to avoid blocking the main
&gt; thread. This keeps your app responsive to the user while the search is
&gt; running and provides a better user experience.

Sending many requests to the API is not a problem of local performance but only of avoiding too high request rate on the remote server.

Thanks

I have begun to combine different commands in the linux terminal. I am wondering why the backslash and semicolon are required for a command such as:

    find ./ -name &#39;blabla&#39; -exec cp {} ./test \;

when a simple cp command is simply:

    cp randomfile ./test

without the `\;`

Are they to clearly indicate the end of a command, or is it simply required in the documentation? What is the underlying principle?

I installed VS2013 (v12.0.21005.1) and added ReSharper 8 (v8.0.2000.2660) a day or two ago. That day it was fine. Now I&#39;m lucky if I can get it to open one solution in a whole day. It opens OK by itself, but when I try and open a solution from within - via the menu - it hangs, badly. If I right-click a solution in Windows Explorer and &#39;open with VS 2013&#39;, it opens then hangs, in exactly the same way. Every now and again, for hours, I get a little notice that it&#39;s busy with something.
