There is a very useful functionality in eclipse: If you click on an element in the code (variable, type, method, etc.) it highlights all of its occurrences in the same file so you can find them with no pain.

But sometimes, due to some action you did by mistake, this functionality can be disabled. And now you don’t know how to reactivate it. Well, here are the solutions:

1. Type on you keyboard alt-shift-o (windows) or opt-cmd-o (mac)
2. or you can go to Window/Eclipse -> Preferences -> Java/Php -> Editor -> Mark Occurrences and then select what you want it to be highlighted.

Enjoy!

Holà !

When you want to add on your local workstation a remote repository so you can push your work there, you may have executed a command similar to this one :

• git remote add web ssh://example.server.tld/home/user/git/project.git

and then, when you would like to push your modifications (and create a master branch), you did

• git push web +master:refs/heads/master

but this time, git asked for your password, and if your workstation username is different from your username on the server, well, you gonna have a bad time !

Any way, i have the solution for you:
First you have to remove the remote from your local repository :

• git remote rm web

and then recreate it but this time changing the url style

• git remote add web yourusernameontheserver@example.server.tld:/home/user/git/project.git

and now, when you push your work

Yeeha !

I’ve always wondered if there was an “official” list of all the countries composing what we call “The MENA region”, and I found that there are more than one point of view about this subject, and there are more than just one MENA region (Regional “MENA”, Economic “MENA”, Politic “MENA”, etc.).
In my case, I just wanted to know what the “startup MENA” was? What are the countries composing this ecosystem? And after a short discussion on twitter about “if Turkey was part of the MENA region or not”, I decided to suggest a list and readers can correct me if I made a mistake somewhere.

First of all, “MENA” region means Middle-East North Africa region. And here we speak about the startup ecosystem, so the question would be: What are the countries in this part of the earth that interact with each other in order to build a strong and sustainable environment that helps creation and innovation in the tech-industry?

So here is my proposition:

Middle-East
Afghanistan (?)
Armenia
Bahrain
Irak
Iran
Jordan
Kuwait
Lebanon
Oman
Pakistan
Palestine
Qatar
Saudi-Arabia
Syria
Turkey
United Arab Emirates
Yemen

North-Africa
Algeria
Egypt
Libya
Morocco
Tunisia
Mauritania (?)
Sudan (?)

PS:
Countries marked by a (?) are those i don’t really know if they have a startup activity or not.
