groundwork | Say hello to responsive design | Style Language library

I am sure this question has been asked in many forms before, but I am struggling to find something to clarify my understanding.

As far as I understand it, the concept of asynchronously running certain sections of code in .Net is based around sending work off into multiple threads so that it can run in parallel with other work. In some cases we need to wait for this work to be finished before we can get on with the next thing and in others we don't. I am mainly confused about how to handle these differences.

There are various analogies I can use, but let's look at a builder, or team of builders building a house. At various stages the team are working together on separate tasks, or together on one, here's a very simplified walk-through.

1. The first task is groundworks. There's nothing to go on, so everyone has to work on digging footings.
2. We need groundworks to complete before we can do anything else.
3. Once groundworks are completed We start blockwork and put the walls up.
4. Now we have walls the electricians and plumbers come in
5. Their respective tasks are sent off to each trades team and run in parallel to install first-fix wiring and pipe work.
6. In the meantime, someone has contacted Royal Mail to get this new address added to their postcode/address database.
7. Plumbers and electricians are done so we can start plasterboarding. ..... etc

In this analogy, we have three types of Task;

• The first two jobs (groundworks and blockwork) have to be completed before anything else can be done, so we are running them in series in a main work thread.
• The electricians and plumbers are two separate threads running together, they don't need to wait for each other to finished, but we will likely need to know whether either or both have finished.
• The postcode database has no impact on the building of our new house, so as a builder we have no interest in that, we just send it off to a different team (Royal Mail) and they do their thing and we have no real need to know when it is done so it's a send and forget task.

I found this question on SO:

How to put this function inside a separate thread

It is quite helpful, mainly the response from "igrimpe", I will copy his code:

I am having trouble working with dropdown menu in flutter together with AppLocalization. I have implemented automatic localization based on user selected language in phone settings. It works good until I want to implement also dropdown menu with localised values. When I render dropdown menu it works but after I select value a get an error like this Flutter: There should be exactly one item with [DropdownButton]'s value, Please note I need appLocalization in the KeyValueRecords list,

page1 and page2 URL. I want to fetch all the content from the 1st URL and only the main text from the 2nd URL and append it to the main text of 1st URL. This is only one article. function parse_indianexpress_archive_links() contains a list of news articles URLs. I m getting all the results from page1 but the next_maintext column from page2 results output

I am a python developer and somewhat new to using Google's gMail API to import .eml files into a gMail account.

I've gotten all of the groundwork done getting my oAuth credentials working, etc.

However, I am stuck where I load in the data-file. I need help loading the message data in to place in a variable..

How do I create the message_data variable reference - in the appropriate format - from my sample email file (which is stored in rfc822 format) that is on disk?

Assuming I have a file on disk at /path/to/file/sample.eml ... how do I load that to message_data in the proper format for the gMail API import call?

I would like to send this rest call ...

so I made an attempt at writing my own version of code to change the background color of a page on scroll. I've searched all over the internet, but I just keep finding Jquery examples and no vanilla JS ones that really show me exactly how to do it.

My first thoughts were to handle the colors and animation in css and trigger them in JS. If I would like to handle animations in CSS, this is the way to go, no? Anyway, my code is obviously not working, so would anyone be able to help me out?

It's probably not as efficient as it should be, so any tips there would be helpful as well.

I haven't finished the animation part yet in css, but the groundwork is laid out. So my idea was to select all of the different colors, then put them into an array. Then make a for loop inside of the function.

I want to sort a groupby but I’m having a little trouble getting it exactly how I want and as I explore "groupby" I just come up with more questions. Anyway, let me set the groundwork. We have this dataset:

I am trying to create an interactive svg tool which I hope will eventually be able to 'spot refine' SVGs using PaperJS.

Getting the groundwork done had been going well, but when I load my page (opening the html file locally with paperscript-full.js linked) I can get mouse to follow the cursor but only in a small square at the top left of the canvas. As soon as I use the inspect tool I am now free to use fly about (what I presume is based upon the border) - the entire canvas area.

Here is a fiddle which doesn't actually demonstrate the issue but has all my source code. I did this because I feel it would take too long to indent all of my code on here: fiddle

Also it is not strictly linked to the question but if anyone could tell me why my canvas grows in width every time I resize as well that would be very much appreciated

I am doing a hobby project by implementing a phd paper on 'The privacy issues on facebook' and it suggests some tweaks to the existing facebook remove tag option like including an additional setting like 'Review posts in which you are tagged in before the audience of the post see in their News feed'. So the point being I am required to tweak facebook webpages to include these options.

So can someone give me ideas on ways to achieve it ?

My groundwork includes checking out tamper monkey to dynamically run user scripts on loading

Can this be achieved with tamper monkey or is there any developed mock facebook apps on github which I can make use of ?

Any help would be appreciated!
