I was reading the exemple : (for Sequelize, a NodeJS ORM) :   var User = sequelize.define("User", {   username: DataTypes.STRING   }, {     classMethods: {       associate: function(models) {         User.hasMany(models.Task) // HERE !!! &lt;-----       }     } });   In the associate method, I call a function of User. The code seems to work but I wonder how is it possible that User is defined as...it's not yet defined...
How would you explain JavaScript closures to someone with a knowledge of the concepts they consist of (for example functions, variables and the like), but does not understand closures themselves?  I have seen  given on Wikipedia, but unfortunately it did not help.
Why is $\arctan(x)=x-x^3/3+x^5/5-x^7/7+\dots$?  Can someone point me to a proof, or explain if it's a simple answer?  What I'm looking for is the point where it becomes understood that trigonometric functions and pi can be expressed as series.  A lot of the information I find when looking for that seems to point back to arctan. Show by induction that for all natural numbers n>3  $(1+\frac{1}{n})^n&lt;n$  Let $(1+\frac{1}{n})^n&lt;n$ be true !   We show that $(1+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1})&lt;n+1$  $(1+\frac{1}{n})^n(1+\frac{1}{n})&lt;n(1+\frac{1}{n})$   $(1+\frac{1}{n})^{n+1}&lt;n+1$  So now we just need to show that   $(1+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1}&lt;(1+\frac{1}{n})^{n+1}$  So here , If I show that :   $(1+\frac{1}{n+1})&lt;(1+\frac{1}{n})$   Does that mean im done with exercise ? mysql_insert_id alternative for postgresql is there an alternative for mysql_insert_id() php function for PostgreSQL? Most of the frameworks are solving the problem partially by finding the current value of the sequence used in the ID. However, there are times that the primary key is not a serial column.... Need help disabling imessage? I recently changed from iphone to android and i have been having trouble recieving messages from my iphone friends since my iphones screen is broken i cant do anything on it. Any way to fix this problem through icloud or something? How do you detect where two line segments intersect? How do I determine whether or not two lines intersect, and if they do, at what x,y point? window.onbeforeunload and window.onunload is not working in Firefox, Safari, Opera? Does a gluon have mass or not? I was under the impression that gluons had no mass. Then Wikipedia throws this curveball:  Mass: 0 (theoretical value) &lt; 0.0002 eV/c2 (experimental limit)  Which one should a poor soul go by? If the theoretical value just the one that people &quot;thought&quot; was right, until they found out the truth, or is the experimental limit(?) an impossibility that still has not been explained? Or something third? How to remove the handles from this faucet My bathroom faucet is leaking around the base of my right handle.  With previous faucets I've been able to use a set screw to loosen the handle and replace the washer.  With these, though, I can't seem to pop off the faucet handle.  Does anyone know how to remove this handle?  Does anyone know the brand of this faucet?  Update -- Nov 29th  I've already tried to get those cap ends off.  I tried to use some pliers and unscrew them, but couldn't remove it.  I tried taking a small flat head and popping off the ends.  Still nothing.  It doesn't seem like the come off.  I also tried unscrewing the handles, but they just don't see to turn for me.  Also there is definitely no set screw on the handles.  I've searched all around the faucet and found nothing indicating a set screw. x tick label style issue, anchor=east and text width command not working together How do I center the text horizontally and vertically in a TextView, so that it appears exactly in the middle of the TextView in Android? Getting the class name of an instance? How do I find out a name of class that created an instance of an object in Python if the function I am doing this from is the base class of which the class of the instance has been derived?  Was thinking maybe  might have helped me out here, but it doesn't seem to give me what I want. And short of parsing the __class__ member, I'm not sure how to get at this information. What are the differences between "-" and "--" in commands? I often see a single dash - or double dash -- followed by linux commands or other installed linux programs.   What are the differences between single dash and double dashes?  Is it just about abbreviation?  For example, -v means --verbose most of the time. Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software? What is the relationship between symmetry and degeneracy in quantum mechanics? What is this Windows 8 icon for as rectangle icon in the title bar? Every Window in Windows 8 got this icon if it gots the focus. When clicking on it, nothing seems to happen.   How does this icon work? How can I know if a branch has been already merged into master? At  I've read that being $\sin(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)!}x^{2n+1}$ by using  we get $\sin'(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(2n+1) \frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)!}x^{2n}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n)!}x^{2n}=\cos(x)$ but the page  says that if $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n(x-a)^n$ then inside the radius of convergence of the power series we have $f'(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}nc_n(x-a)^{n-1}$ so shouldn't it be $\sin'(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(2n+1)\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)!}x^{2n+1-1}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n)!}x^{2n}$?  Now I understand that this last result has a missing term due to the index of the series being $1$ and not $0$ but being the $1$ mandatory because of the above theorem and since trying to shift index doesn't help (we get $\sin'(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{(2n+2)!}x^{2n+2}$) how can the result that ProofWiki shows be rigorously justified?   (I mean, I think we can't just say "oh, there's a missing term!" after having applied the theorem and magically shift the index of the series to obtain the desired result) I am including pages using Ajax but I also need to include their respective javascript files, which requires removing the previous javascript files from memory at the same time.  How can I unload the currently-loaded javascript files (as well as their code in memory) so that I can load the new page's files? They will more than likely conflict, so having multiple independent files' javascript files loaded.
