How to add 10 days to current time in Rails

days, years, etc., are part of Active Support, So this won't work in irb, but it should work in rails console.

Convert UTC to local time in Rails 3

There is actually a nice Gem called local_time by basecamp to do all of that on client side only, I believe:

Can regular JavaScript be mixed with jQuery?

Of course you can, but why do this? You have to include a <script></script>pair of tags that link to the jQuery web page, i.e.: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> . Then you will load the whole jQuery object just to use one single function, and because jQuery is a JavaScript library which will take time for the computer to upload, it will execute slower than just JavaScript.

What is the purpose of the "role" attribute in HTML?

As I understand it, roles were initially defined by XHTML but were deprecated. However, they are now defined by HTML 5, see here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/roles#abstract_roles_header

The purpose of the role attribute is to identify to parsing software the exact function of an element (and its children) as part of a web application. This is mostly as an accessibility thing for screen readers, but I can also see it as being useful for embedded browsers and screen scrapers. In order to be useful to the unusual HTML client, the attribute needs to be set to one of the roles from the spec I linked. If you make up your own, this 'future' functionality can't work - a comment would be better.

CodeIgniter query: How to move a column value to another column in the same row and save the current time in the original column?

Yes, this is possible and I would like to provide a slight alternative to Rajeev's answer that does not pass a php-generated datetime formatted string to the query.

The important distinction about how to declare the values to be SET in the UPDATE query is that they must not be quoted as literal strings.

To prevent CodeIgniter from doing this "favor" automatically, use the set() method with a third parameter of false.

$userId = 444;
$this->db->set('Last', 'Current', false);
$this->db->set('Current', 'NOW()', false);
$this->db->where('Id', $userId);
// return $this->db->get_compiled_update('Login');  // uncomment to see the rendered query
$this->db->update('Login');
return $this->db->affected_rows();  // this is expected to return the integer: 1

The generated query (depending on your database adapter) would be like this:

UPDATE `Login` SET Last = Current, Current = NOW() WHERE `Id` = 444

Demonstrated proof that the query works: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/vcc6PfMcYhDD87wZE5gBtw/0

In this case, Last and Current ARE MySQL Keywords, but they are not Reserved Keywords, so they don't need to be backtick-wrapped.

If your precise query needs to have properly quoted identifiers (table/column names), then there is always protectIdentifiers().

What is the OR operator in an IF statement

The conditional or operator is ||:

if (expr1 || expr2) {do stuff}

if (title == "User greeting" || title == "User name") {do stuff}

The conditional (the OR) and it's parts are boolean expressions.

MSDN lists the C# operators in precedence order here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6a71f45d.aspx . And the MSDN page for boolean expressions is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dya2szfk.aspx .

If you are just starting to learn programming, you should read up on Conditional Statements from an introductory text or tutorial. This one seems to cover most of the basics: http://www.functionx.com/csharp/Lesson10.htm .

How to get process ID of background process?

pgrep can get you all of the child PIDs of a parent process. As mentioned earlier $$ is the current scripts PID. So, if you want a script that cleans up after itself, this should do the trick:

trap 'kill $( pgrep -P $$ | tr "\n" " " )' SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT

How to do this in Laravel, subquery where in

You can use variable by using keyword "use ($category_id)"

$category_id = array('223','15');
Products::whereIn('id', function($query) use ($category_id){
   $query->select('paper_type_id')
     ->from(with(new ProductCategory)->getTable())
     ->whereIn('category_id', $category_id )
     ->where('active', 1);
})->get();

How to get div height to auto-adjust to background size?

You can do it server side: by measuring the image and then setting the div size, OR loading the image with JS, read it's attributes and then set the DIV size.

And here is an idea, put the same image inside the div as an IMG tag, but give it visibility: hidden + play with position relative+ give this div the image as background.

Java Enum return Int

Do you want to this code?

public static enum FieldIndex {
    HDB_TRX_ID,     //TRX ID

public String print(ArrayList<String> itemName){
    return itemName.get(FieldIndex.HDB_TRX_ID.ordinal());
}

Visual Studio debugging/loading very slow

After spending all day waiting for symbols to load as slow as turtle speed, mixing and switching between all the possible combinations: Just My Code, Caching symbols, Intellitrace, Just-In-Time, killing processes, etc.

My solution was actually to disable the antivirus. Yeah, Windows Defender was slowing my project launch! It would check all the dlls as Visual Studio requested them and slowed the whole symbol load process.

I have to say our machines have great specs to compile the solution really fast, so that was never a problem. We code in VS 2013 Ultimate.

How to get only filenames within a directory using c#?

You could use the DirectoryInfo and FileInfo classes.

//GetFiles on DirectoryInfo returns a FileInfo object.
var pdfFiles = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\Documents").GetFiles("*.pdf");

//FileInfo has a Name property that only contains the filename part.
var firstPdfFilename = pdfFiles[0].Name;

rails generate model

For me what happened was that I generated the app with rails new rails new chapter_2 but the RVM --default had rails 4.0.2 gem, but my chapter_2 project use a new gemset with rails 3.2.16.

So when I ran

rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string

the console showed

Usage:
   rails new APP_PATH [options]

So I fixed the RVM and the gemset with the rails 3.2.16 gem , and then generated the app again then I executed

 rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string

and it worked

How to autosize a textarea using Prototype?

Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Opera users need to remember to explicidly set the line-height value in CSS. I do a stylesheet that sets the initial properites for all text boxes as follows.

<style>
    TEXTAREA { line-height: 14px; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial }
</style>

Removing Spaces from a String in C?

I assume the C string is in a fixed memory, so if you replace spaces you have to shift all characters.

The easiest seems to be to create new string and iterate over the original one and copy only non space characters.

SQL Update Multiple Fields FROM via a SELECT Statement

Something like this should work (can't test it right now - from memory):

UPDATE SHIPMENT
SET
  OrgAddress1     = BD.OrgAddress1,
  OrgAddress2     = BD.OrgAddress2,
  OrgCity         = BD.OrgCity,
  OrgState        = BD.OrgState,
  OrgZip          = BD.OrgZip,
  DestAddress1    = BD.DestAddress1,
  DestAddress2    = BD.DestAddress2,
  DestCity        = BD.DestCity,
  DestState       = BD.DestState,
  DestZip         = BD.DestZip
FROM
   BookingDetails BD
WHERE 
   SHIPMENT.MyID2 = @MyID2
   AND
   BD.MyID = @MyID

Does that help?

Find row number of matching value

For your first method change ws.Range("A") to ws.Range("A:A") which will search the entirety of column a, like so:

Sub Find_Bingo()

        Dim wb As Workbook
        Dim ws As Worksheet
        Dim FoundCell As Range
        Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
        Set ws = ActiveSheet

            Const WHAT_TO_FIND As String = "Bingo"

            Set FoundCell = ws.Range("A:A").Find(What:=WHAT_TO_FIND)
            If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
                MsgBox (WHAT_TO_FIND & " found in row: " & FoundCell.Row)
            Else
                MsgBox (WHAT_TO_FIND & " not found")
            End If
End Sub

For your second method, you are using Bingo as a variable instead of a string literal. This is a good example of why I add Option Explicit to the top of all of my code modules, as when you try to run the code it will direct you to this "variable" which is undefined and not intended to be a variable at all.

Additionally, when you are using With...End With you need a period . before you reference Cells, so Cells should be .Cells. This mimics the normal qualifying behavior (i.e. Sheet1.Cells.Find..)

Change Bingo to "Bingo" and change Cells to .Cells

With Sheet1
        Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(What:="Bingo", After:=.Cells(1, 1), _
        LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
        SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
    End With

If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox ("""Bingo"" found in row " & FoundCell.Row)
Else
        MsgBox ("Bingo not found")
End If

Update

In my

With Sheet1
    .....
End With

The Sheet1 refers to a worksheet's code name, not the name of the worksheet itself. For example, say I open a new blank Excel workbook. The default worksheet is just Sheet1. I can refer to that in code either with the code name of Sheet1 or I can refer to it with the index of Sheets("Sheet1"). The advantage to using a codename is that it does not change if you change the name of the worksheet.

Continuing this example, let's say I renamed Sheet1 to Data. Using Sheet1 would continue to work, as the code name doesn't change, but now using Sheets("Sheet1") would return an error and that syntax must be updated to the new name of the sheet, so it would need to be Sheets("Data").

In the VB Editor you would see something like this:

code object explorer example

Notice how, even though I changed the name to Data, there is still a Sheet1 to the left. That is what I mean by codename.

The Data worksheet can be referenced in two ways:

Debug.Print Sheet1.Name
Debug.Print Sheets("Data").Name

Both should return Data

Error - "UNION operator must have an equal number of expressions" when using CTE for recursive selection

You could use a recursive scalar function:-

set nocount on

create table location (
    id int,
    name varchar(50),
    parent int
)
insert into location values
    (1,'france',null),
    (2,'paris',1),
    (3,'belleville',2),
    (4,'lyon',1),
    (5,'vaise',4),
    (6,'united kingdom',null),
    (7,'england',6),
    (8,'manchester',7),
    (9,'fallowfield',8),
    (10,'withington',8)
go
create function dbo.breadcrumb(@child int)
returns varchar(1024)
as begin
    declare @returnValue varchar(1024)=''
    declare @parent int
    select @returnValue+=' > '+name,@parent=parent
    from location
    where id=@child
    if @parent is not null
        set @returnValue=dbo.breadcrumb(@parent)+@returnValue
    return @returnValue
end
go

declare @location int=1
while @location<=10 begin
    print dbo.breadcrumb(@location)+' >'
    set @location+=1
end

produces:-

 > france >
 > france > paris >
 > france > paris > belleville >
 > france > lyon >
 > france > lyon > vaise >
 > united kingdom >
 > united kingdom > england >
 > united kingdom > england > manchester >
 > united kingdom > england > manchester > fallowfield >
 > united kingdom > england > manchester > withington >

Delete all the queues from RabbitMQ?

I tried rabbitmqctl and reset commands but they are very slow.

This is the fastest way I found (replace your username and password):

#!/bin/bash

# Stop on error
set -eo pipefail

USER='guest'
PASSWORD='guest'

curl -sSL -u $USER:$PASSWORD http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2f/ | jq '.[].name' | sed 's/"//g' | xargs -L 1 -I@ curl -XDELETE -sSL -u $USER:$PASSWORD http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2f/@
# To also delete exchanges uncomment next line
# curl -sSL -u $USER:$PASSWORD http://localhost:15672/api/exchanges/%2f/ | jq '.[].name' | sed 's/"//g' | xargs -L 1 -I@ curl -XDELETE -sSL -u $USER:$PASSWORD http://localhost:15672/api/exchanges/%2f/@

vertical-align: middle with Bootstrap 2

Try this:

.row > .span3 {
    display: inline-block !important;
    vertical-align: middle !important;
}

Edit:

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/EexYE/

You may need to add Diego's float: none !important; also if span3 is floating and it interferes.

Edit:

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/D8McR/

In response to Alberto: if you fix the height of the row div, then to continue the vertical center alignment you'll need to set the line-height of the row to be the same as the pixel height of the row (ie. both to 300px in your case). If you'll do that you will notice that the child elements inherit the line-height, which is a problem in this case, so you will then need to set your line height for the span3s to whatever it should actually be (1.5 is the example value in the fiddle, or 1.5 x the font-size, which we did not change when we changed the line-height).

How do I pass the this context to a function?

Another basic example:

NOT working:

var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
   this.myGlobalFunction(img);
};
img.src = reader.result;

Working:

var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
   this.myGlobalFunction(img);
}.bind(this);
img.src = reader.result;

So basically: just add .bind(this) to your function

How to use XPath contains() here?

I already gave my +1 to Jeff Yates' solution.

Here is a quick explanation why your approach does not work. This:

//ul[@class='featureList' and contains(li, 'Model')]

encounters a limitation of the contains() function (or any other string function in XPath, for that matter).

The first argument is supposed to be a string. If you feed it a node list (giving it "li" does that), a conversion to string must take place. But this conversion is done for the first node in the list only.

In your case the first node in the list is <li><b>Type:</b> Clip Fan</li> (converted to a string: "Type: Clip Fan") which means that this:

//ul[@class='featureList' and contains(li, 'Type')]

would actually select a node!

What are public, private and protected in object oriented programming?

A public item is one that is accessible from any other class. You just have to know what object it is and you can use a dot operator to access it. Protected means that a class and its subclasses have access to the variable, but not any other classes, they need to use a getter/setter to do anything with the variable. A private means that only that class has direct access to the variable, everything else needs a method/function to access or change that data. Hope this helps.

Difference between numpy.array shape (R, 1) and (R,)

1. The meaning of shapes in NumPy

You write, "I know literally it's list of numbers and list of lists where all list contains only a number" but that's a bit of an unhelpful way to think about it.

The best way to think about NumPy arrays is that they consist of two parts, a data buffer which is just a block of raw elements, and a view which describes how to interpret the data buffer.

For example, if we create an array of 12 integers:

>>> a = numpy.arange(12)
>>> a
array([ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11])

Then a consists of a data buffer, arranged something like this:

+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

and a view which describes how to interpret the data:

>>> a.flags
  C_CONTIGUOUS : True
  F_CONTIGUOUS : True
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : True
  ALIGNED : True
  UPDATEIFCOPY : False
>>> a.dtype
dtype('int64')
>>> a.itemsize
8
>>> a.strides
(8,)
>>> a.shape
(12,)

Here the shape (12,) means the array is indexed by a single index which runs from 0 to 11. Conceptually, if we label this single index i, the array a looks like this:

i= 0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

If we reshape an array, this doesn't change the data buffer. Instead, it creates a new view that describes a different way to interpret the data. So after:

>>> b = a.reshape((3, 4))

the array b has the same data buffer as a, but now it is indexed by two indices which run from 0 to 2 and 0 to 3 respectively. If we label the two indices i and j, the array b looks like this:

i= 0    0    0    0    1    1    1    1    2    2    2    2
j= 0    1    2    3    0    1    2    3    0    1    2    3
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

which means that:

>>> b[2,1]
9

You can see that the second index changes quickly and the first index changes slowly. If you prefer this to be the other way round, you can specify the order parameter:

>>> c = a.reshape((3, 4), order='F')

which results in an array indexed like this:

i= 0    1    2    0    1    2    0    1    2    0    1    2
j= 0    0    0    1    1    1    2    2    2    3    3    3
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

which means that:

>>> c[2,1]
5

It should now be clear what it means for an array to have a shape with one or more dimensions of size 1. After:

>>> d = a.reshape((12, 1))

the array d is indexed by two indices, the first of which runs from 0 to 11, and the second index is always 0:

i= 0    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11
j= 0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

and so:

>>> d[10,0]
10

A dimension of length 1 is "free" (in some sense), so there's nothing stopping you from going to town:

>>> e = a.reshape((1, 2, 1, 6, 1))

giving an array indexed like this:

i= 0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
j= 0    0    0    0    0    0    1    1    1    1    1    1
k= 0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
l= 0    1    2    3    4    5    0    1    2    3    4    5
m= 0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
¦  0 ¦  1 ¦  2 ¦  3 ¦  4 ¦  5 ¦  6 ¦  7 ¦  8 ¦  9 ¦ 10 ¦ 11 ¦
+-----------------------------------------------------------+

and so:

>>> e[0,1,0,0,0]
6

See the NumPy internals documentation for more details about how arrays are implemented.

2. What to do?

Since numpy.reshape just creates a new view, you shouldn't be scared about using it whenever necessary. It's the right tool to use when you want to index an array in a different way.

However, in a long computation it's usually possible to arrange to construct arrays with the "right" shape in the first place, and so minimize the number of reshapes and transposes. But without seeing the actual context that led to the need for a reshape, it's hard to say what should be changed.

The example in your question is:

numpy.dot(M[:,0], numpy.ones((1, R)))

but this is not realistic. First, this expression:

M[:,0].sum()

computes the result more simply. Second, is there really something special about column 0? Perhaps what you actually need is:

M.sum(axis=0)

Pass a data.frame column name to a function

You can just use the column name directly:

df <- data.frame(A=1:10, B=2:11, C=3:12)
fun1 <- function(x, column){
  max(x[,column])
}
fun1(df, "B")
fun1(df, c("B","A"))

There's no need to use substitute, eval, etc.

You can even pass the desired function as a parameter:

fun1 <- function(x, column, fn) {
  fn(x[,column])
}
fun1(df, "B", max)

Alternatively, using [[ also works for selecting a single column at a time:

df <- data.frame(A=1:10, B=2:11, C=3:12)
fun1 <- function(x, column){
  max(x[[column]])
}
fun1(df, "B")

Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation in Aqua Data Studio

You would mostly be using COUNT to summarize over a UID. Therefore

COUNT([uid]) will produce the warning:

Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.

whilst being used with a left join, where the counted object does not exist.

Using COUNT(*) in this case would also render incorrect results, as you would then be counting the total number of results (ie parents) that exist.

Using COUNT([uid]) IS a valid way of counting, and the warning is nothing more than a warning. However if you are concerned, and you want to get a true count of uids in this case then you could use:

SUM(CASE WHEN [uid] IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) AS [new_count]

This would not add a lot of overheads to your query. (tested mssql 2008)

NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Could not load NIB in bundle: 'NSBundle

Well, I think the error says that it can't find a nib file named "RootViewController" in your project.

You are writing these lines of code,

self.viewController = [[RootViewController alloc]      initWithNibName:@"RootViewController_iPhone.xib" bundle:nil];

self.viewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RootViewController_iPad.xib" bundle:nil];

At the same time you are asking it to load a nib file named "RootviewController"..!! Where is it..? Do you have a xib file named "Rootviewcontroller"..?

From in Sql Server Management Studio: Tools -> Sql Server profiler. Although as @bobs said, you may need to install additional components first.

Finding the max/min value in an array of primitives using Java

Using Commons Lang (to convert) + Collections (to min/max)

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;

import org.apache.commons.lang.ArrayUtils;

public class MinMaxValue {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[] a = {'3', '5', '1', '4', '2'};

        List b = Arrays.asList(ArrayUtils.toObject(a));

        System.out.println(Collections.min(b));
        System.out.println(Collections.max(b));
   }
}

Note that Arrays.asList() wraps the underlying array, so it should not be too memory intensive and it should not perform a copy on the elements of the array.

What is the Sign Off feature in Git for?

There are some nice answers on this question. I’ll try to add a more broad answer, namely about what these kinds of lines/headers/trailers are about in current practice. Not so much about the sign-off header in particular (it’s not the only one).

Headers or trailers (?1) like “sign-off” (?2) is, in current practice in projects like Git and Linux, effectively structured metadata for the commit. These are all appended to the end of the commit message, after the “free form” (unstructured) part of the body of the message. These are token–value (or key–value) pairs typically delimited by a colon and a space (:?).

Like I mentioned, “sign-off” is not the only trailer in current practice. See for example this commit, which has to do with “Dirty Cow”:

 mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()
 This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
 (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
 get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
 problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

 In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
 fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
 s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
 software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
 have to look at the page state itself.

 Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
 theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

 To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
 we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
 is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
 the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

Moral of the story

It is my impression that, although the initial motivation for this particular metadata was some legal issues (judging by the other answers), the practice of such metadata has progressed beyond just dealing with the case of forming a chain of authorship.

Getting Gradle dependencies in IntelliJ IDEA using Gradle build

Tried everything in this thread and nothing worked for me in IntelliJ 2020.2. This answer did the trick, but I had to set the correct path to the JDK and choose it in Gradle settings after that (as showed in figures bellow):

  1. Setting the correct path for the Java SDK (under File->Project Structure):

enter image description here

  1. In Gradle Window, click in "Gradle Settings..."

After that, the option "Reload All Gradle Projects" downloaded all dependencies as expected.

Is there a simple, elegant way to define singletons?

Singleton's half brother

I completely agree with staale and I leave here a sample of creating a singleton half brother:

class void:pass
a = void();
a.__class__ = Singleton

a will report now as being of the same class as singleton even if it does not look like it. So singletons using complicated classes end up depending on we don't mess much with them.

Being so, we can have the same effect and use simpler things like a variable or a module. Still, if we want use classes for clarity and because in Python a class is an object, so we already have the object (not and instance, but it will do just like).

class Singleton:
    def __new__(cls): raise AssertionError # Singletons can't have instances

There we have a nice assertion error if we try to create an instance, and we can store on derivations static members and make changes to them at runtime (I love Python). This object is as good as other about half brothers (you still can create them if you wish), however it will tend to run faster due to simplicity.

How to fix: fatal error: openssl/opensslv.h: No such file or directory in RedHat 7

To fix this problem, you have to install OpenSSL development package, which is available in standard repositories of all modern Linux distributions.

To install OpenSSL development package on Debian, Ubuntu or their derivatives:

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

To install OpenSSL development package on Fedora, CentOS or RHEL:

$ sudo yum install openssl-devel 

Edit : As @isapir has pointed out, for Fedora version>=22 use the DNF package manager :

dnf install openssl-devel

How to install PyQt5 on Windows?

If you're using Windows 10, if you use

    py -m pip install pyqt5

in the command prompt it should download fine. Depending on either the version of Python or Windows sometimes python -m pip install pyqt5 isn't accepted, so you have to use py instead. pip is a good way to download a lot of stuff, so I'd recommend that.

How can I declare dynamic String array in Java

What your looking for is the DefaultListModel - Dynamic String List Variable.

Here is a whole class that uses the DefaultListModel as though it were the TStringList of Delphi. The difference is that you can add Strings to the list without limitation and you have the same ability at getting a single entry by specifying the entry int.

FileName: StringList.java

package YOUR_PACKAGE_GOES_HERE;

//This is the StringList Class by i2programmer
//You may delete these comments
//This code is offered freely at no requirements
//You may alter the code as you wish
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.DefaultListModel;

public class StringList {

    public static String OutputAsString(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return GetEntry(list, entry);
    }

    public static Object OutputAsObject(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return GetEntry(list, entry);
    }

    public static int OutputAsInteger(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return Integer.parseInt(list.getElementAt(entry).toString());
    }

    public static double OutputAsDouble(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return Double.parseDouble(list.getElementAt(entry).toString());
    }

    public static byte OutputAsByte(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return Byte.parseByte(list.getElementAt(entry).toString());
    }

    public static char OutputAsCharacter(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        return list.getElementAt(entry).toString().charAt(0);
    }

    public static String GetEntry(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        String result = "";
        result = list.getElementAt(entry).toString();
        return result;
    }

    public static void AddEntry(DefaultListModel list, String entry) {
        list.addElement(entry);
    }

    public static void RemoveEntry(DefaultListModel list, int entry) {
        list.removeElementAt(entry);
    }

    public static DefaultListModel StrToList(String input, String delimiter) {
        DefaultListModel dlmtemp = new DefaultListModel();
        input = input.trim();
        delimiter = delimiter.trim();
        while (input.toLowerCase().contains(delimiter.toLowerCase())) {
            int index = input.toLowerCase().indexOf(delimiter.toLowerCase());
            dlmtemp.addElement(input.substring(0, index).trim());
            input = input.substring(index + delimiter.length(), input.length()).trim();
        }
        return dlmtemp;
    }

    public static String ListToStr(DefaultListModel list, String delimiter) {
        String result = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
            result = list.getElementAt(i).toString() + delimiter;
        }
        result = result.trim();
        return result;
    }

        final FileReader reader = new FileReader(new File(inputfile));
        try {
            while ((len = reader.read(chr)) > 0) {
                buffer.append(chr, 0, len);
            }
        } finally {
            reader.close();

    public static void SaveFile(String outputfile, String outputstring) {
        try {
            FileWriter f0 = new FileWriter(new File(outputfile));
            f0.write(outputstring);
            f0.flush();
            f0.close();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(StringList.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
}

OutputAs methods are for outputting an entry as int, double, etc... so that you don't have to convert from string on the other side.

SaveFile & LoadFile are to save and load strings to and from files.

StrToList & ListToStr are to place delimiters between each entry.

ex. 1<>2<>3<>4<> if "<>" is the delimiter and 1 2 3 & 4 are the entries.

AddEntry & GetEntry are to add and get strings to and from the DefaultListModel.

RemoveEntry is to delete a string from the DefaultListModel.

You use the DefaultListModel instead of an array here like this:

DefaultListModel list = new DefaultListModel();
//now that you have a list, you can run it through the above class methods.

How to create materialized views in SQL Server?

They're called indexed views in SQL Server - read these white papers for more background:

Basically, all you need to do is:

  • create a regular view
  • create a clustered index on that view

and you're done!

The tricky part is: the view has to satisfy quite a number of constraints and limitations - those are outlined in the white paper. If you do this, that's all there is. The view is being updated automatically, no maintenance needed.

Additional resources:

Convert HttpPostedFileBase to byte[]

As Darin says, you can read from the input stream - but I'd avoid relying on all the data being available in a single go. If you're using .NET 4 this is simple:

MemoryStream target = new MemoryStream();
model.File.InputStream.CopyTo(target);
byte[] data = target.ToArray();

It's easy enough to write the equivalent of CopyTo in .NET 3.5 if you want. The important part is that you read from HttpPostedFileBase.InputStream.

For efficient purposes you could check whether the stream returned is already a MemoryStream:

byte[] data;
using (Stream inputStream = model.File.InputStream)
{
    MemoryStream memoryStream = inputStream as MemoryStream;
    if (memoryStream == null)
    {
        memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        inputStream.CopyTo(memoryStream);
    }
    data = memoryStream.ToArray();
}

How do I bottom-align grid elements in bootstrap fluid layout

Just set the parent to display:flex; and the child to margin-top:auto. This will place the child content at the bottom of the parent element, assuming the parent element has a height greater than the child element.

There is no need to try and calculate a value for margin-top when you have a height on your parent element or another element greater than your child element of interest within your parent element.

MySQL Workbench not opening on Windows

I found I needed more than just the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.

How to print a string multiple times?

For example if you want to repeat a word called "HELP" for 1000 times the following is the best way.

word = ['HELP']
repeat = 1000 * word

Then you will get the list of 1000 words and make that into a data frame if you want by using following command

word_data =pd.DataFrame(repeat)
word_data.columns = ['list_of_words'] #To change the column name 

Parsing JSON objects for HTML table

another nice recursive way to generate HTML from a nested JSON object (currently not supporting arrays):

// generate HTML code for an object
var make_table = function(json, css_class='tbl_calss', tabs=1){
    // helper to tabulate the HTML tags. will return '\t\t\t' for num_of_tabs=3
    var tab = function(num_of_tabs){
        var s = '';
        for (var i=0; i<num_of_tabs; i++){
            s += '\t';
        }
        //console.log('tabbing done. tabs=' + tabs)
        return s;
    }
    // recursive function that returns a fixed block of <td>......</td>.
    var generate_td = function(json){ 
        if (!(typeof(json) == 'object')){
            // for primitive data - direct wrap in <td>...</td>
            return tab(tabs) + '<td>'+json+'</td>\n';
        }else{
            // recursive call for objects to open a new sub-table inside the <td>...</td>
            // (object[key] may be also an object)
            var s = tab(++tabs)+'<td>\n';
            s +=        tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
            for (var k in json){
                s +=        tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
                s +=          tab(++tabs)+'<td>' + k + '</td>\n';
                s +=                      generate_td(json[k]);
                s +=        tab(--tabs)+'</tr>' + tab(--tabs) + '\n';


            }
            // close the <td>...</td> external block
            s +=        tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
            s +=    tab(tabs--)+'</td>\n';
            return s;
        }
    }
    // construct the complete HTML code
    var html_code = '' ;
    html_code += tab(++tabs)+'<table class="'+css_class+'">\n';
    html_code +=   tab(++tabs)+'<tr>\n';
    html_code +=     generate_td(json);
    html_code +=   tab(tabs--)+'</tr>\n';
    html_code += tab(tabs--)+'</table>\n';
    return html_code;
}

onclick or inline script isn't working in extension

Reason

This does not work, because Chrome forbids any kind of inline code in extensions via Content Security Policy.

Inline JavaScript will not be executed. This restriction bans both inline <script> blocks and inline event handlers (e.g. <button onclick="...">).

How to detect

If this is indeed the problem, Chrome would produce the following error in the console:

Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' chrome-extension-resource:". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

To access a popup's JavaScript console (which is useful for debug in general), right-click your extension's button and select "Inspect popup" from the context menu.

More information on debugging a popup is available here.

How to fix

One needs to remove all inline JavaScript. There is a guide in Chrome documentation.

Suppose the original looks like:

<a onclick="handler()">Click this</a> <!-- Bad -->

One needs to remove the onclick attribute and give the element a unique id:

<a id="click-this">Click this</a> <!-- Fixed -->

And then attach the listener from a script (which must be in a .js file, suppose popup.js):

// Pure JS:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  document.getElementById("click-this").addEventListener("click", handler);
});

// The handler also must go in a .js file
function handler() {
  /* ... */
}

Note the wrapping in a DOMContentLoaded event. This ensures that the element exists at the time of execution. Now add the script tag, for instance in the <head> of the document:

<script src="popup.js"></script>

Alternative if you're using jQuery:

// jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#click-this").click(handler);
});

Relaxing the policy

Q: The error mentions ways to allow inline code. I don't want to / can't change my code, how do I enable inline scripts?

A: Despite what the error says, you cannot enable inline script:

There is no mechanism for relaxing the restriction against executing inline JavaScript. In particular, setting a script policy that includes 'unsafe-inline' will have no effect.

Update: Since Chrome 46, it's possible to whitelist specific inline code blocks:

As of Chrome 46, inline scripts can be whitelisted by specifying the base64-encoded hash of the source code in the policy. This hash must be prefixed by the used hash algorithm (sha256, sha384 or sha512). See Hash usage for <script> elements for an example.

However, I do not readily see a reason to use this, and it will not enable inline attributes like onclick="code".

ASP.NET IIS Web.config [Internal Server Error]

I had the same problem. Don't remember where I found it on the web, but here is what I did:

Click "Start button"

in the search box, enter "Turn windows features on or off"

in the features window, Click: "Internet Information Services"

Click: "World Wide Web Services"

Click: "Application Development Features"

Check (enable) the features. I checked all but CGI.

c# search string in txt file

If your pair of lines will only appear once in your file, you could use

File.ReadLines(pathToTextFile)
    .SkipWhile(line => !line.Contains("CustomerEN"))
    .Skip(1) // optional
    .TakeWhile(line => !line.Contains("CustomerCh"));

If you could have multiple occurrences in one file, you're probably better off using a regular foreach loop - reading lines, keeping track of whether you're currently inside or outside a customer etc:

List<List<string>> groups = new List<List<string>>();
List<string> current = null;
foreach (var line in File.ReadAllLines(pathToFile))
{
    if (line.Contains("CustomerEN") && current == null)
        current = new List<string>();
    else if (line.Contains("CustomerCh") && current != null)
    {
        groups.Add(current);
        current = null;
    }
    if (current != null)
        current.Add(line);
}

How to send and retrieve parameters using $state.go toParams and $stateParams?

Your define following in router.js

$stateProvider.state('users', {
    url: '/users',
    controller: 'UsersCtrl',
    params: {
        obj: null
    }
})

Your controller need add $stateParams.

function UserCtrl($stateParams) {
    console.log($stateParams);
}

You can send an object by parameter as follows.

$state.go('users', {obj:yourObj});

First letter capitalization for EditText

Just use android:inputType="textCapWords" in your EditText element.

For example:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtName"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_weight="0.7"
    android:inputType="textCapWords"
    android:textColorHint="#aaa"
    android:hint="Name Surname"
    android:textSize="12sp" />

How to convert string values from a dictionary, into int/float datatypes?

If that's your exact format, you can go through the list and modify the dictionaries.

for item in list_of_dicts:
    for key, value in item.iteritems():
        try:
            item[key] = int(value)
        except ValueError:
            item[key] = float(value)

If you've got something more general, then you'll have to do some kind of recursive update on the dictionary. Check if the element is a dictionary, if it is, use the recursive update. If it's able to be converted into a float or int, convert it and modify the value in the dictionary. There's no built-in function for this and it can be quite ugly (and non-pythonic since it usually requires calling isinstance).

Float right and position absolute doesn't work together

Use

position:absolute; right: 0;

No need for float:right with absolute positioning

Also, make sure the parent element is set to position:relative;

Count table rows

Because nobody mentioned it:

show table status;

lists all tables along with some additional information, including estimated rows for each table. This is what phpMyAdmin is using for its database page.

This information is available in MySQL 4, probably in MySQL 3.23 too - long time prior information schema database.

UPDATE:

Because there was down-vote, I want to clarify that the number shown is estimated for InnoDB and TokuDB and it is absolutely correct for MyISAM and Aria (Maria) storage engines.

Per the documentation:

The number of rows. Some storage engines, such as MyISAM, store the exact count. For other storage engines, such as InnoDB, this value is an approximation, and may vary from the actual value by as much as 40% to 50%. In such cases, use SELECT COUNT(*) to obtain an accurate count.

This also is fastest way to see the row count on MySQL, because query like:

select count(*) from table;

Doing full table scan what could be very expensive operation that might take hours on large high load server. It also increase disk I/O.

The same operation might block the table for inserts and updates - this happen only on exotic storage engines.

InnoDB and TokuDB are OK with table lock, but need full table scan.

Using PHP to upload file and add the path to MySQL database

First you should use print_r($_FILES) to debug, and see what it contains. :

your uploads.php would look like:

//This is the directory where images will be saved
$target = "pics/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);

//This gets all the other information from the form
$Filename=basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']);
$Description=$_POST['Description'];


//Writes the Filename to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filename']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
    //Tells you if its all ok
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['Filename']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
    // Connects to your Database
    mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;
    mysql_select_db("altabotanikk") or die(mysql_error()) ;

    //Writes the information to the database
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO picture (Filename,Description)
    VALUES ('$Filename', '$Description')") ;
} else {
    //Gives and error if its not
    echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}

EDIT: Since this is old post, currently it is strongly recommended to use either mysqli or pdo instead mysql_ functions in php

How can I create an object and add attributes to it?

MyObject = type('MyObject', (object,), {})
obj = MyObject()
obj.value = 42

What charset does Microsoft Excel use when saving files?

You can create CSV file using encoding UTF8 + BOM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark).

First three bytes are BOM (0xEF,0xBB,0xBF) and then UTF8 content.

How to convert current date into string in java?

tl;dr

LocalDate.now()
         .toString() 

2017-01-23

Better to specify the desired/expected time zone explicitly.

LocalDate.now( ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" ) )
         .toString() 

java.time

The modern way as of Java 8 and later is with the java.time framework.

Specify the time zone, as the date varies around the world at any given moment.

ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" ) ;  // Or ZoneOffset.UTC or ZoneId.systemDefault()
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now( zoneId ) ;
String output = today.toString() ;

2017-01-23

By default you get a String in standard ISO 8601 format.

For other formats use the java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter class.


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

Change the "From:" address in Unix "mail"

mail -s "$(echo -e "This is the subject\nFrom: Paula <[email protected]>\n
Reply-to: [email protected]\nContent-Type: text/html\n")" 
[email protected] < htmlFileMessage.txt

the above is my solution....any extra headers can be added just after the from and before the reply to...just make sure you know your headers syntax before adding them....this worked perfectly for me.

Bash if statement with multiple conditions throws an error

You can use either [[ or (( keyword. When you use [[ keyword, you have to use string operators such as -eq, -lt. I think, (( is most preferred for arithmetic, because you can directly use operators such as ==, < and >.

Using [[ operator

a=$1
b=$2
if [[ a -eq 1 || b -eq 2 ]] || [[ a -eq 3 && b -eq 4 ]]
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Using (( operator

a=$1
b=$2
if (( a == 1 || b == 2 )) || (( a == 3 && b == 4 ))
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Do not use -a or -o operators Since it is not Portable.

SQL for ordering by number - 1,2,3,4 etc instead of 1,10,11,12

ORDER_BY cast(registration_no as unsigned) ASC

gives the desired result with warnings.

Hence, better to go for

ORDER_BY registration_no + 0 ASC

for a clean result without any SQL warnings.

Getting min and max Dates from a pandas dataframe

'Date' is your index so you want to do,

print (df.index.min())
print (df.index.max())

2014-03-13 00:00:00
2014-03-31 00:00:00

Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date + The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

This expression 12-4-2005 is a calculated int and the value is -1997. You should do like this instead '2005-04-12' with the ' before and after.

How to use a global array in C#?

Your class shoud look something like this:

class Something {     int[] array; //global array, replace type of course     void function1() {        array = new int[10]; //let say you declare it here that will be 10 integers in size     }     void function2() {        array[0] = 12; //assing value at index 0 to 12.     } } 

That way you array will be accessible in both functions. However, you must be careful with global stuff, as you can quickly overwrite something.

How To Convert A Number To an ASCII Character?

I was googling about how to convert an int to char, that got me here. But my question was to convert for example int of 6 to char of '6'. For those who came here like me, this is how to do it:

int num = 6;
num.ToString().ToCharArray()[0];

"Please try running this command again as Root/Administrator" error when trying to install LESS

I know this is an old questions but none of the solutions seemed like a good practice hence I am putting how I have solved this issue:

Tried solving this issue by using Homebrew but it was also installing node in /usr/local directory which would again cause EACCES error.

Had to use a version manager like nvm for more informations see the official npm guide.

For various operating system.

nvm installs node and it's modules in the user's HOME FOLDER thereby solving EACCES issues.

How to show SVG file on React Native?

How do I edit an incorrect commit message in git ( that I've pushed )?

Suppose you have a tree like this:

dd2e86 - 946992 - 9143a9 - a6fd86 - 5a6057 [master]

First, checkout a temp branch:

git checkout -b temp

On temp branch, reset --hard to a commit that you want to change its message (for example, that commit is 946992):

git reset --hard 946992

Use amend to change the message:

git commit --amend -m "<new_message>"

After that the tree will look like this:

dd2e86 - 946992 - 9143a9 - a6fd86 - 5a6057 [master]
           \
            b886a0 [temp]

Then, cherry-pick all the commit that is ahead of 946992 from master to temp and commit them, use amend if you want to change their messages as well:

git cherry-pick 9143a9
git commit --amend -m "<new_message>
...
git cherry-pick 5a6057
git commit --amend -m "<new_message>

The tree now looks like this:

dd2e86 - 946992 - 9143a9 - a6fd86 - 5a6057 [master]
               \
                b886a0 - 41ab2c - 6c2a3s - 7c88c9 [temp]

Now force push the temp branch to remote:

git push --force origin temp:master

The final step, delete branch master on local, git fetch origin to pull branch master from the server, then switch to branch master and delete branch temp.

Now both your local and remote will have all the messages updated.

Javascript Array of Functions

I have many problems trying to solve this one... tried the obvious, but did not work. It just append an empty function somehow.

array_of_functions.push(function() { first_function('a string') });

I solved it by using an array of strings, and later with eval:

array_of_functions.push("first_function('a string')");

for (var Func of array_of_functions) {
   eval(Func);
   }

How to limit the number of dropzone.js files uploaded?

Why do not you just use CSS to disable the click event. When max files is reached, Dropzone will automatically add a class of dz-max-files-reached.

Use css to disable click on dropzone:

.dz-max-files-reached {
          pointer-events: none;
          cursor: default;
}

Java abstract interface

An abstract Interface is not as redundant as everyone seems to be saying, in theory at least.

An Interface can be extended, just as a Class can. If you design an Interface hierarchy for your application you may well have a 'Base' Interface, you extend other Interfaces from but do not want as an Object in itself.

Example:

public abstract interface MyBaseInterface {
    public String getName();
}

public interface MyBoat extends MyBaseInterface {
    public String getMastSize();
}

public interface MyDog extends MyBaseInterface {
    public long tinsOfFoodPerDay();
}

You do not want a Class to implement the MyBaseInterface, only the other two, MMyDog and MyBoat, but both interfaces share the MyBaseInterface interface, so have a 'name' property.

I know its kinda academic, but I thought some might find it interesting. :-)

It is really just a 'marker' in this case, to signal to implementors of the interface it wasn't designed to be implemented on its own. I should point out a compiler (At least the sun/ora 1.6 I tried it with) compiles a class that implements an abstract interface.

How to HTML encode/escape a string? Is there a built-in?

In Ruby on Rails 3 HTML will be escaped by default.

For non-escaped strings use:

<%= raw "<p>hello world!</p>" %>

Injecting Mockito mocks into a Spring bean

I would suggest to migrate your project to Spring Boot 1.4. After that you can use new annotation @MockBean to fake your com.package.Dao

How to insert an item at the beginning of an array in PHP?

Use array_unshift($array, $item);

$arr = array('item2', 'item3', 'item4');
array_unshift($arr , 'item1');
print_r($arr);

will give you

Array
(
 [0] => item1
 [1] => item2
 [2] => item3
 [3] => item4
)

Show git diff on file in staging area

You can also use git diff HEAD file to show the diff for a specific file.

See the EXAMPLE section under git-diff(1)

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config

TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray'

Your variable energies probably has the wrong shape:

>>> from numpy import array
>>> set([1,2,3]) & set(range(2, 10))
set([2, 3])
>>> set(array([1,2,3])) & set(range(2,10))
set([2, 3])
>>> set(array([[1,2,3],])) & set(range(2,10))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray'

And that's what happens if you read columnar data using your approach:

>>> data
array([[  1.,   2.,   3.],
       [  3.,   4.,   5.],
       [  5.,   6.,   7.],
       [  8.,   9.,  10.]])
>>> hsplit(data,3)[0]
array([[ 1.],
       [ 3.],
       [ 5.],
       [ 8.]])

Probably you can simply use

>>> data[:,0]
array([ 1.,  3.,  5.,  8.])

instead.

(P.S. Your code looks like it's undecided about whether it's data or elementdata. I've assumed it's simply a typo.)

How can I tell when a MySQL table was last updated?

Cache the query in a global variable when it is not available.

Create a webpage to force the cache to be reloaded when you update it.

Add a call to the reloading page into your deployment scripts.

How to clear a chart from a canvas so that hover events cannot be triggered?

I couldn't get .destroy() to work either so this is what I'm doing. The chart_parent div is where I want the canvas to show up. I need the canvas to resize each time, so this answer is an extension of the above one.

HTML:

<div class="main_section" > <div id="chart_parent"></div> <div id="legend"></div> </div>

JQuery:

  $('#chart').remove(); // this is my <canvas> element
  $('#chart_parent').append('<label for = "chart">Total<br /><canvas class="chart" id="chart" width='+$('#chart_parent').width()+'><canvas></label>');

string withOutSpecialCharacters = new string(stringWithSpecialCharacters.Where(c =>char.IsLetterOrDigit(c) || char.IsWhiteSpace(c) || c == '-').ToArray());

Insert json file into mongodb

Use

mongoimport --jsonArray --db test --collection docs --file example2.json

Its probably messing up because of the newline characters.

How To: Execute command line in C#, get STD OUT results

If you don't mind introducing a dependency, CliWrap can simplify this for you:

using CliWrap;
using CliWrap.Buffered;

var result = await Cli.Wrap("target.exe")
   .WithArguments("arguments")
   .ExecuteBufferedAsync();

var stdout = result.StandardOutput;

How do browser cookie domains work?

Will www.example.com be able to set cookie for .com?

No, but example.com.fr may be able to set a cookie for example2.com.fr. Firefox protects against this by maintaining a list of TLDs: http://securitylabs.websense.com/content/Blogs/3108.aspx

Apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow two-letter domains to set cookies, which I suppose explains why o2.ie simply redirects to o2online.ie. I'd often wondered that.

Location of Django logs and errors

Add to your settings.py:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'filename': 'debug.log',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    },
}

And it will create a file called debug.log in the root of your. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/logging/

How to set bot's status

Bumping this all the way from 2018, sorry not sorry. But the newer users questioning how to do this need to know that game does not work anymore for this task.

bot.user.setStatus('available')
bot.user.setPresence({
    game: {
        name: 'with depression',
        type: "STREAMING",
        url: "https://www.twitch.tv/monstercat"
    }
}

does not work anymore. You will now need to do this:

bot.user.setPresence({
    status: 'online',
    activity: {
        name: 'with depression',
        type: 'STREAMING',
        url: 'https://www.twitch.tv/monstercat'
    }
})

This is referenced here as "game" is not a valid property of setPresence anymore. Read the PresenceData Documentation for more information about this.

How do I make calls to a REST API using C#?

I did it in this simple way, with Web API 2.0. You can remove UseDefaultCredentials. I used it for my own use cases.

List<YourObject> listObjects = new List<YourObject>();

string response = "";
using (var client = new WebClient() { UseDefaultCredentials = true })
{
     response = client.DownloadString(apiUrl);
}

listObjects = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<YourObject>>(response);
return listObjects;

How to obtain image size using standard Python class (without using external library)?

It depends on the output of file which I am not sure is standardized on all systems. Some JPEGs don't report the image size

import subprocess, re
image_size = list(map(int, re.findall('(\d+)x(\d+)', subprocess.getoutput("file" + filename))[-1]))

Cannot instantiate the type List<Product>

List is an interface. Interfaces cannot be instantiated. Only concrete types can be instantiated. You probably want to use an ArrayList, which is an implementation of the List interface.

List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();

How to prevent "The play() request was interrupted by a call to pause()" error?

Depending on how complex you want your solution, this may be useful:

var currentPromise=false;    //Keeps track of active Promise

function playAudio(n){
    if(!currentPromise){    //normal behavior
        n.pause();
        n.currentTime = 0;
        currentPromise = n.play();    //Calls play. Will store a Promise object in newer versions of chrome;
                                      //stores undefined in other browsers
        if(currentPromise){    //Promise exists
            currentPromise.then(function(){ //handle Promise completion
                promiseComplete(n);
            });
        }
    }else{    //Wait for promise to complete
        //Store additional information to be called
        currentPromise.calledAgain = true;
    }
}

function promiseComplete(n){
    var callAgain = currentPromise.calledAgain;    //get stored information
    currentPromise = false;    //reset currentPromise variable
    if(callAgain){
        playAudio(n);
    }
}

This is a bit overkill, but helps when handling a Promise in unique scenarios.

Laravel Request getting current path with query string

Similar to Yada's answer: $request->url() will also work if you are injecting Illuminate\Http\Request

Edit: The difference between fullUrl and url is the fullUrl includes your query parameters

Where can I find the error logs of nginx, using FastCGI and Django?

You can use lsof (list of open files) in most cases to find open log files without knowing the configuration.

Example:

Find the PID of httpd (the same concept applies for nginx and other programs):

$ ps aux | grep httpd
...
root     17970  0.0  0.3 495964 64388 ?        Ssl  Oct29   3:45 /usr/sbin/httpd
...

Then search for open log files using lsof with the PID:

$ lsof -p 17970 | grep log
httpd   17970 root    2w   REG             253,15     2278      6723 /var/log/httpd/error_log
httpd   17970 root   12w   REG             253,15        0      1387 /var/log/httpd/access_log

If lsof prints nothing, even though you expected the log files to be found, issue the same command using sudo.

How can I exclude all "permission denied" messages from "find"?

Note:
* This answer probably goes deeper than the use case warrants, and find 2>/dev/null may be good enough in many situations. It may still be of interest for a cross-platform perspective and for its discussion of some advanced shell techniques in the interest of finding a solution that is as robust as possible, even though the cases guarded against may be largely hypothetical.
* If your system is configured to show localized error messages, prefix the find calls below with LC_ALL=C (LC_ALL=C find ...) to ensure that English messages are reported, so that grep -v 'Permission denied' works as intended. Invariably, however, any error messages that do get displayed will then be in English as well.

If your shell is bash or zsh, there's a solution that is robust while being reasonably simple, using only POSIX-compliant find features; while bash itself is not part of POSIX, most modern Unix platforms come with it, making this solution widely portable:

find . > files_and_folders 2> >(grep -v 'Permission denied' >&2)

Note: There's a small chance that some of grep's output may arrive after find completes, because the overall command doesn't wait for the command inside >(...) to finish. In bash, you can prevent this by appending | cat to the command.

  • >(...) is a (rarely used) output process substitution that allows redirecting output (in this case, stderr output (2>) to the stdin of the command inside >(...).
    In addition to bash and zsh, ksh supports them as well in principle, but trying to combine them with redirection from stderr, as is done here (2> >(...)), appears to be silently ignored (in ksh 93u+).

    • grep -v 'Permission denied' filters out (-v) all lines (from the find command's stderr stream) that contain the phrase Permission denied and outputs the remaining lines to stderr (>&2).

This approach is:

  • robust: grep is only applied to error messages (and not to a combination of file paths and error messages, potentially leading to false positives), and error messages other than permission-denied ones are passed through, to stderr.

  • side-effect free: find's exit code is preserved: the inability to access at least one of the filesystem items encountered results in exit code 1 (although that won't tell you whether errors other than permission-denied ones occurred (too)).


POSIX-compliant solutions:

Fully POSIX-compliant solutions either have limitations or require additional work.

If find's output is to be captured in a file anyway (or suppressed altogether), then the pipeline-based solution from Jonathan Leffler's answer is simple, robust, and POSIX-compliant:

find . 2>&1 >files_and_folders | grep -v 'Permission denied' >&2

Note that the order of the redirections matters: 2>&1 must come first.

Capturing stdout output in a file up front allows 2>&1 to send only error messages through the pipeline, which grep can then unambiguously operate on.

The only downside is that the overall exit code will be the grep command's, not find's, which in this case means: if there are no errors at all or only permission-denied errors, the exit code will be 1 (signaling failure), otherwise (errors other than permission-denied ones) 0 - which is the opposite of the intent.
That said, find's exit code is rarely used anyway, as it often conveys little information beyond fundamental failure such as passing a non-existent path.
However, the specific case of even only some of the input paths being inaccessible due to lack of permissions is reflected in find's exit code (in both GNU and BSD find): if a permissions-denied error occurs for any of the files processed, the exit code is set to 1.

The following variation addresses that:

find . 2>&1 >files_and_folders | { grep -v 'Permission denied' >&2; [ $? -eq 1 ]; }

Now, the exit code indicates whether any errors other than Permission denied occurred: 1 if so, 0 otherwise.
In other words: the exit code now reflects the true intent of the command: success (0) is reported, if no errors at all or only permission-denied errors occurred.
This is arguably even better than just passing find's exit code through, as in the solution at the top.


gniourf_gniourf in the comments proposes a (still POSIX-compliant) generalization of this solution using sophisticated redirections, which works even with the default behavior of printing the file paths to stdout:

{ find . 3>&2 2>&1 1>&3 | grep -v 'Permission denied' >&3; } 3>&2 2>&1

In short: Custom file descriptor 3 is used to temporarily swap stdout (1) and stderr (2), so that error messages alone can be piped to grep via stdout.

Without these redirections, both data (file paths) and error messages would be piped to grep via stdout, and grep would then not be able to distinguish between error message Permission denied and a (hypothetical) file whose name happens to contain the phrase Permission denied.

As in the first solution, however, the the exit code reported will be grep's, not find's, but the same fix as above can be applied.


Notes on the existing answers:

  • There are several points to note about Michael Brux's answer, find . ! -readable -prune -o -print:

    • It requires GNU find; notably, it won't work on macOS. Of course, if you only ever need the command to work with GNU find, this won't be a problem for you.

    • Some Permission denied errors may still surface: find ! -readable -prune reports such errors for the child items of directories for which the current user does have r permission, but lacks x (executable) permission. The reason is that because the directory itself is readable, -prune is not executed, and the attempt to descend into that directory then triggers the error messages. That said, the typical case is for the r permission to be missing.

    • Note: The following point is a matter of philosophy and/or specific use case, and you may decide it is not relevant to you and that the command fits your needs well, especially if simply printing the paths is all you do:

      • If you conceptualize the filtering of the permission-denied error messages a separate task that you want to be able to apply to any find command, then the opposite approach of proactively preventing permission-denied errors requires introducing "noise" into the find command, which also introduces complexity and logical pitfalls.
      • For instance, the most up-voted comment on Michael's answer (as of this writing) attempts to show how to extend the command by including a -name filter, as follows:
        find . ! -readable -prune -o -name '*.txt'
        This, however, does not work as intended, because the trailing -print action is required (an explanation can be found in this answer). Such subtleties can introduce bugs.
  • The first solution in Jonathan Leffler's answer, find . 2>/dev/null > files_and_folders, as he himself states, blindly silences all error messages (and the workaround is cumbersome and not fully robust, as he also explains). Pragmatically speaking, however, it is the simplest solution, as you may be content to assume that any and all errors would be permission-related.

  • mist's answer, sudo find . > files_and_folders, is concise and pragmatic, but ill-advised for anything other than merely printing filenames, for security reasons: because you're running as the root user, "you risk having your whole system being messed up by a bug in find or a malicious version, or an incorrect invocation which writes something unexpectedly, which could not happen if you ran this with normal privileges" (from a comment on mist's answer by tripleee).

  • The 2nd solution in viraptor's answer, find . 2>&1 | grep -v 'Permission denied' > some_file runs the risk of false positives (due to sending a mix of stdout and stderr through the pipeline), and, potentially, instead of reporting non-permission-denied errors via stderr, captures them alongside the output paths in the output file.

Convert time in HH:MM:SS format to seconds only?

I think the easiest method would be to use strtotime() function:

$time = '21:30:10';
$seconds = strtotime("1970-01-01 $time UTC");
echo $seconds;

// same with objects (for php5.3+)
$time = '21:30:10';
$dt = new DateTime("1970-01-01 $time", new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$seconds = (int)$dt->getTimestamp();
echo $seconds;

demo


Function date_parse() can also be used for parsing date and time:

$time = '21:30:10';
$parsed = date_parse($time);
$seconds = $parsed['hour'] * 3600 + $parsed['minute'] * 60 + $parsed['second'];

demo


If you will parse format MM:SS with strtotime() or date_parse() it will fail (date_parse() is used in strtotime() and DateTime), because when you input format like xx:yy parser assumes it is HH:MM and not MM:SS. I would suggest checking format, and prepend 00: if you only have MM:SS.

demo strtotime() demo date_parse()


If you have hours more than 24, then you can use next function (it will work for MM:SS and HH:MM:SS format):

function TimeToSec($time) {
    $sec = 0;
    foreach (array_reverse(explode(':', $time)) as $k => $v) $sec += pow(60, $k) * $v;
    return $sec;
}

Android check permission for LocationManager

With Android API level (23), we are required to check for permissions. https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

I had your same problem, but the following worked for me and I am able to retrieve Location data successfully:

(1) Ensure you have your permissions listed in the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

(2) Ensure you request permissions from the user:

if ( ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ) {

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions( this, new String[] {  android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION  },
                                                LocationService.MY_PERMISSION_ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION );
        }

(3) Ensure you use ContextCompat as this has compatibility with older API levels.

(4) In your location service, or class that initializes your LocationManager and gets the last known location, we need to check the permissions:

if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 &&
             ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
             ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            return  ;
        }

(5) This approach only worked for me after I included @TargetApi(23) at the top of my initLocationService method.

(6) I also added this to my gradle build:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'

Here is my LocationService for reference:

public class LocationService implements LocationListener  {

    //The minimum distance to change updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 0; // 10 meters

    //The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 0;//1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

    private final static boolean forceNetwork = false;

    private static LocationService instance = null;

    private LocationManager locationManager;
    public Location location;
    public double longitude;
    public double latitude; 


    /**
     * Singleton implementation
     * @return
     */
    public static LocationService getLocationManager(Context context)     {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new LocationService(context);
        }
        return instance;
    }

    /**
     * Local constructor
     */
    private LocationService( Context context )     {

        initLocationService(context); 
        LogService.log("LocationService created");
    }



    /**
     * Sets up location service after permissions is granted
     */
    @TargetApi(23)
    private void initLocationService(Context context) {


        if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 &&
             ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
             ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            return  ;
        }

        try   {
            this.longitude = 0.0;
            this.latitude = 0.0;
            this.locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

            // Get GPS and network status
            this.isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
            this.isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            if (forceNetwork) isGPSEnabled = false;

            if (!isNetworkEnabled && !isGPSEnabled)    {
                // cannot get location
                this.locationServiceAvailable = false;
            }
            //else
            {
                this.locationServiceAvailable = true;

                if (isNetworkEnabled) {
                    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                            MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                            MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                    if (locationManager != null)   {
                        location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                        updateCoordinates();
                    }
                }//end if

                if (isGPSEnabled)  {
                    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                            MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                            MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);

                    if (locationManager != null)  {
                        location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                        updateCoordinates();
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception ex)  {
            LogService.log( "Error creating location service: " + ex.getMessage() );

        }
    }       


    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location)     {
        // do stuff here with location object 
    }
}

I tested with an Android Lollipop device so far only. Hope this works for you.

Simple CSS: Text won't center in a button

The problem is that buttons render differently across browsers. In Firefox, 24px is sufficient to cover the default padding and space allowed for your "A" character and center it. In IE and Chrome, it does not, so it defaults to the minimum value needed to cover the left padding and the text without cutting it off, but without adding any additional width to the button.

You can either increase the width, or as suggested above, alter the padding. If you take away the explicit width, it should work too.

How can I represent an 'Enum' in Python?

Alexandru's suggestion of using class constants for enums works quite well.

I also like to add a dictionary for each set of constants to lookup a human-readable string representation.

This serves two purposes: a) it provides a simple way to pretty-print your enum and b) the dictionary logically groups the constants so that you can test for membership.

class Animal:    
  TYPE_DOG = 1
  TYPE_CAT = 2

  type2str = {
    TYPE_DOG: "dog",
    TYPE_CAT: "cat"
  }

  def __init__(self, type_):
    assert type_ in self.type2str.keys()
    self._type = type_

  def __repr__(self):
    return "<%s type=%s>" % (
        self.__class__.__name__, self.type2str[self._type].upper())

Setting the height of a DIV dynamically

Simplest I could come up...

function resizeResizeableHeight() {
    $('.resizableHeight').each( function() {
        $(this).outerHeight( $(this).parent().height() - ( $(this).offset().top - ( $(this).parent().offset().top + parseInt( $(this).parent().css('padding-top') ) ) ) )
    });
}

Now all you have to do is add the resizableHeight class to everything you want to autosize (to it's parent).

Plotting multiple time series on the same plot using ggplot()

ggplot allows you to have multiple layers, and that is what you should take advantage of here.

In the plot created below, you can see that there are two geom_line statements hitting each of your datasets and plotting them together on one plot. You can extend that logic if you wish to add any other dataset, plot, or even features of the chart such as the axis labels.

library(ggplot2)

jobsAFAM1 <- data.frame(
  data_date = runif(5,1,100),
  Percent.Change = runif(5,1,100)
)

jobsAFAM2 <- data.frame(
  data_date = runif(5,1,100),
  Percent.Change = runif(5,1,100)
)

ggplot() + 
  geom_line(data = jobsAFAM1, aes(x = data_date, y = Percent.Change), color = "red") +
  geom_line(data = jobsAFAM2, aes(x = data_date, y = Percent.Change), color = "blue") +
  xlab('data_date') +
  ylab('percent.change')

How do I use the built in password reset/change views with my own templates

I was using this two lines in the url and the template from the admin what i was changing to my need

url(r'^change-password/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_change', {
    'template_name': 'password_change_form.html'}, name="password-change"),

    }, name="password-change-done")

What is the purpose of XSD files?

An XSD file is an XML Schema Definition and it is used to provide a standard method of checking that a given XML document conforms to what you expect.

How do I revert all local changes in Git managed project to previous state?

Note: You may also want to run

git clean -fd

as

git reset --hard

will not remove untracked files, where as git-clean will remove any files from the tracked root directory that are not under git tracking. WARNING - BE CAREFUL WITH THIS! It is helpful to run a dry-run with git-clean first, to see what it will delete.

This is also especially useful when you get the error message

~"performing this command will cause an un-tracked file to be overwritten"

Which can occur when doing several things, one being updating a working copy when you and your friend have both added a new file of the same name, but he's committed it into source control first, and you don't care about deleting your untracked copy.

In this situation, doing a dry run will also help show you a list of files that would be overwritten.

How do I divide in the Linux console?

I still prefer using dc, which is an RPN calculator, so quick session to divide 67 by 18 with 4 digits precision would look like

>dc
4k
67
18/p
3.7222
q
>

Obviously, much more available: man dc

Select rows where column is null

Use Is Null

How to scroll to specific item using jQuery?

I managed to do it myself. No need for any plugins. Check out my gist:

// Replace #fromA with your button/control and #toB with the target to which     
// You wanna scroll to. 
//
$("#fromA").click(function() {
    $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: $("#toB").offset().top }, 1500);
});

Use a content script to access the page context variables and functions

If you wish to inject pure function, instead of text, you can use this method:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function inject(){_x000D_
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'blue';_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
// this includes the function as text and the barentheses make it run itself._x000D_
var actualCode = "("+inject+")()"; _x000D_
_x000D_
document.documentElement.setAttribute('onreset', actualCode);_x000D_
document.documentElement.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('reset'));_x000D_
document.documentElement.removeAttribute('onreset');
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

And you can pass parameters (unfortunatelly no objects and arrays can be stringifyed) to the functions. Add it into the baretheses, like so:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function inject(color){_x000D_
    document.body.style.backgroundColor = color;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
// this includes the function as text and the barentheses make it run itself._x000D_
var color = 'yellow';_x000D_
var actualCode = "("+inject+")("+color+")"; 
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

What is the difference between children and childNodes in JavaScript?

Pick one depends on the method you are looking for!?

I will go with ParentNode.children:

As it provides namedItem method that allows me directly to get one of the children elements without looping through all children or avoiding to use getElementById etc.

e.g.

ParentNode.children.namedItem('ChildElement-ID'); // JS
ref.current.children.namedItem('ChildElement-ID'); // React
this.$refs.ref.children.namedItem('ChildElement-ID'); // Vue

I will go with Node.childNodes:

As it provides forEach method when I work with window.IntersectionObserver e.g.

nodeList.forEach((node) => { observer.observe(node) })
// IE11 does not support forEach on nodeList, but easy to be polyfilled.

On Chrome 83

Node.childNodes provides entries, forEach, item, keys, length and values

ParentNode.children provides item, length and namedItem

maven error: package org.junit does not exist

In my case, the culprit was not distinguish the main and test sources folder within pom.xml (generated by eclipse maven project)

<build>
    <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
    ....
</build>

If you override default source folder settings in pom file, you must explicitly set the main AND test source folders!!!!

<build>
    <sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
    <testSourceDirectory>src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>
    ....
</build>

How to see if an object is an array without using reflection?

You can use instanceof.

JLS 15.20.2 Type Comparison Operator instanceof

 RelationalExpression:
    RelationalExpression instanceof ReferenceType

At run time, the result of the instanceof operator is true if the value of the RelationalExpression is not null and the reference could be cast to the ReferenceType without raising a ClassCastException. Otherwise the result is false.

That means you can do something like this:

Object o = new int[] { 1,2 };
System.out.println(o instanceof int[]); // prints "true"        

You'd have to check if the object is an instanceof boolean[], byte[], short[], char[], int[], long[], float[], double[], or Object[], if you want to detect all array types.

Also, an int[][] is an instanceof Object[], so depending on how you want to handle nested arrays, it can get complicated.

For the toString, java.util.Arrays has a toString(int[]) and other overloads you can use. It also has deepToString(Object[]) for nested arrays.

public String toString(Object arr) {
   if (arr instanceof int[]) {
      return Arrays.toString((int[]) arr);
   } else //...
}

It's going to be very repetitive (but even java.util.Arrays is very repetitive), but that's the way it is in Java with arrays.

Get the row(s) which have the max value in groups using groupby

I've been using this functional style for many group operations:

df = pd.DataFrame({
   'Sp' : ['MM1', 'MM1', 'MM1', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM4', 'MM4', 'MM4'],
   'Mt' : ['S1', 'S1', 'S3', 'S3', 'S4', 'S4', 'S2', 'S2', 'S2'],
   'Val' : ['a', 'n', 'cb', 'mk', 'bg', 'dgb', 'rd', 'cb', 'uyi'],
   'Count' : [3,2,5,8,10,1,2,2,7]
})

df.groupby('Mt')\
  .apply(lambda group: group[group.Count == group.Count.max()])\
  .reset_index(drop=True)

    sp  mt  val  count
0  MM1  S1    a      3
1  MM4  S2  uyi      7
2  MM2  S3   mk      8
3  MM2  S4   bg     10

.reset_index(drop=True) gets you back to the original index by dropping the group-index.

How do I read input character-by-character in Java?

In java 5 new feature added that is Scanner method who gives the chance to read input character by character in java.

for instance; for use Scanner method import java.util.Scanner; after in main method:define

Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in); //for read character

char anything=myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);

you anything store single character, if you want more read more character declare more object like anything1,anything2... more example for your answer please check in your hand(copy/paste)

     import java.util.Scanner;
     class ReverseWord  {

    public static void main(String args[]){
    Scanner myScanner=new Scanner(System.in);
    char c1,c2,c3,c4;

    c1 = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
        c2 = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
    c3 = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);
    c4 = myScanner.findInLine(".").charAt(0);

    System.out.print(c4);
    System.out.print(c3);
    System.out.print(c2);
    System.out.print(c1);
    System.out.println();

   }

How to find out client ID of component for ajax update/render? Cannot find component with expression "foo" referenced from "bar"

first of all: as far as i know placing dialog inside a tabview is a bad practice... you better take it out...

and now to your question:

sorry, took me some time to get what exactly you wanted to implement,

did at my web app myself just now, and it works

as I sayed before place the p:dialog out side the `p:tabView ,

leave the p:dialog as you initially suggested :

<p:dialog modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
    <h:panelGrid id="display">
        <h:outputText value="Name:" />
        <h:outputText value="#{instrumentBean.selectedInstrument.name}" />
    </h:panelGrid>
</p:dialog>   

and the p:commandlink should look like this (all i did is to change the update attribute)

<p:commandLink update="display" oncomplete="dlg.show()">
    <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{lndInstrument}" 
        target="#{instrumentBean.selectedInstrument}" />
    <h:outputText value="#{lndInstrument.name}" />
</p:commandLink>  

the same works in my web app, and if it does not work for you , then i guess there is something wrong in your java bean code...

Mysql where id is in array

Change

$array=array_map('intval', explode(',', $string));

To:

$array= implode(',', array_map('intval', explode(',', $string)));

array_map returns an array, not a string. You need to convert the array to a comma separated string in order to use in the WHERE clause.

Downcasting in Java

I believe this applies to all statically typed languages:

String s = "some string";
Object o = s; // ok
String x = o; // gives compile-time error, o is not neccessarily a string
String x = (String)o; // ok compile-time, but might give a runtime exception if o is not infact a String

The typecast effectively says: assume this is a reference to the cast class and use it as such. Now, lets say o is really an Integer, assuming this is a String makes no sense and will give unexpected results, thus there needs to be a runtime check and an exception to notify the runtime environment that something is wrong.

In practical use, you can write code working on a more general class, but cast it to a subclass if you know what subclass it is and need to treat it as such. A typical example is overriding Object.equals(). Assume we have a class for Car:

@Override
boolean equals(Object o) {
    if(!(o instanceof Car)) return false;
    Car other = (Car)o;
    // compare this to other and return
}

Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute

There is one link where it elaborated very well & solution is also given. Try it if you got proper solution please post here so other can understand. Given solution is ok then like the post so other can try these solution.

for you reference original link :- https://bensonxion.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/serializing-an-ienumerable-produces-collection-was-modified-enumeration-operation-may-not-execute/

When we use .Net Serialization classes to serialize an object where its definition contains an Enumerable type, i.e. collection, you will be easily getting InvalidOperationException saying "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute" where your coding is under multi-thread scenarios. The bottom cause is that serialization classes will iterate through collection via enumerator, as such, problem goes to trying to iterate through a collection while modifying it.

First solution, we can simply use lock as a synchronization solution to ensure that the operation to the List object can only be executed from one thread at a time. Obviously, you will get performance penalty that if you want to serialize a collection of that object, then for each of them, the lock will be applied.

Well, .Net 4.0 which makes dealing with multi-threading scenarios handy. for this serializing Collection field problem, I found we can just take benefit from ConcurrentQueue(Check MSDN)class, which is a thread-safe and FIFO collection and makes code lock-free.

Using this class, in its simplicity, the stuff you need to modify for your code are replacing Collection type with it, use Enqueue to add an element to the end of ConcurrentQueue, remove those lock code. Or, if the scenario you are working on do require collection stuff like List, you will need a few more code to adapt ConcurrentQueue into your fields.

BTW, ConcurrentQueue doesnât have a Clear method due to underlying algorithm which doesnât permit atomically clearing of the collection. so you have to do it yourself, the fastest way is to re-create a new empty ConcurrentQueue for a replacement.

Angular2 RC5: Can't bind to 'Property X' since it isn't a known property of 'Child Component'

<create-report-card-form [currentReportCardCount]="providerData.reportCards.length" ...
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In your HomeComponent template, you are trying to bind to an input on the CreateReportCardForm component that doesn't exist.

In CreateReportCardForm, these are your only three inputs:

@Input() public reportCardDataSourcesItems: SelectItem[];
@Input() public reportCardYearItems: SelectItem[];
@Input() errorMessages: Message[];

Add one for currentReportCardCount and you should be good to go.

IntelliJ - Convert a Java project/module into a Maven project/module

Right-click on the module, select "Add framework support...", and check the "Maven" technology.

(This also creates a pom.xml for you to modify.)

If you mean adding source repository elements, I think you need to do that manually–not sure.

Pre-IntelliJ 13 this won't convert the project to the Maven Standard Directory Layout, 13+ it will.

When to use references vs. pointers

Any performance difference would be so small that it wouldn't justify using the approach that's less clear.

First, one case that wasn't mentioned where references are generally superior is const references. For non-simple types, passing a const reference avoids creating a temporary and doesn't cause the confusion you're concerned about (because the value isn't modified). Here, forcing a person to pass a pointer causes the very confusion you're worried about, as seeing the address taken and passed to a function might make you think the value changed.

In any event, I basically agree with you. I don't like functions taking references to modify their value when it's not very obvious that this is what the function is doing. I too prefer to use pointers in that case.

When you need to return a value in a complex type, I tend to prefer references. For example:

bool GetFooArray(array &foo); // my preference
bool GetFooArray(array *foo); // alternative

Here, the function name makes it clear that you're getting information back in an array. So there's no confusion.

The main advantages of references are that they always contain a valid value, are cleaner than pointers, and support polymorphism without needing any extra syntax. If none of these advantages apply, there is no reason to prefer a reference over a pointer.

Split String by delimiter position using oracle SQL

Therefore, I would like to separate the string by the furthest delimiter.

I know this is an old question, but this is a simple requirement for which SUBSTR and INSTR would suffice. REGEXP are still slower and CPU intensive operations than the old subtsr and instr functions.

SQL> WITH DATA AS
  2    ( SELECT 'F/P/O' str FROM dual
  3    )
  4  SELECT SUBSTR(str, 1, Instr(str, '/', -1, 1) -1) part1,
  5         SUBSTR(str, Instr(str, '/', -1, 1) +1) part2
  6  FROM DATA
  7  /

PART1 PART2
----- -----
F/P   O

As you said you want the furthest delimiter, it would mean the first delimiter from the reverse.

You approach was fine, but you were missing the start_position in INSTR. If the start_position is negative, the INSTR function counts back start_position number of characters from the end of string and then searches towards the beginning of string.

How to extract or unpack an .ab file (Android Backup file)

As per https://android.stackexchange.com/a/78183/239063 you can run a one line command in Linux to add in an appropriate tar header to extract it.

( printf "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" ; tail -c +25 backup.ab ) | tar xfvz -

Replace backup.ab with the path to your file.

Image UriSource and Data Binding

WPF has built-in converters for certain types. If you bind the Image's Source property to a string or Uri value, under the hood WPF will use an ImageSourceConverter to convert the value to an ImageSource.

So

<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}"/>

would work if the ImageSource property was a string representation of a valid URI to an image.

You can of course roll your own Binding converter:

public class ImageConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(
        object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return new BitmapImage(new Uri(value.ToString()));
    }

    public object ConvertBack(
        object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
}

and use it like this:

<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource, Converter={StaticResource ImageConverter}}"/>

Allow all remote connections, MySQL

Mabey you only need:

Step one:

grant all privileges on *.* to 'user'@'IP' identified by 'password';

or

grant all privileges on *.* to 'user'@'%' identified by 'password';

Step two:

sudo ufw allow 3306

Step three:

sudo service mysql restart

How to Generate Barcode using PHP and Display it as an Image on the same page

There is a library for this BarCode PHP. You just need to include a few files:

require_once('class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('class/BCGDrawing.php');

You can generate many types of barcodes, namely 1D or 2D. Add the required library:

require_once('class/BCGcode39.barcode.php');

Generate the colours:

// The arguments are R, G, and B for color.
$colorFront = new BCGColor(0, 0, 0);
$colorBack = new BCGColor(255, 255, 255);

After you have added all the codes, you will get this way:

Example

Since several have asked for an example here is what I was able to do to get it done

require_once('class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('class/BCGDrawing.php');

require_once('class/BCGcode128.barcode.php');

header('Content-Type: image/png');

$color_white = new BCGColor(255, 255, 255);

$code = new BCGcode128();
$code->parse('HELLO');

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('', $color_white);
$drawing->setBarcode($code);

$drawing->draw();
$drawing->finish(BCGDrawing::IMG_FORMAT_PNG);

If you want to actually create the image file so you can save it then change

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('', $color_white);

to

$drawing = new BCGDrawing('image.png', $color_white);

Plotting lines connecting points

I realize this question was asked and answered a long time ago, but the answers don't give what I feel is the simplest solution. It's almost always a good idea to avoid loops whenever possible, and matplotlib's plot is capable of plotting multiple lines with one command. If x and y are arrays, then plot draws one line for every column.

In your case, you can do the following:

x=np.array([-1 ,0.5 ,1,-0.5])
xx = np.vstack([x[[0,2]],x[[1,3]]])
y=np.array([ 0.5,  1, -0.5, -1])
yy = np.vstack([y[[0,2]],y[[1,3]]])
plt.plot(xx,yy, '-o')

Have a long list of x's and y's, and want to connect adjacent pairs?

xx = np.vstack([x[0::2],x[1::2]])
yy = np.vstack([y[0::2],y[1::2]])

Want a specified (different) color for the dots and the lines?

plt.plot(xx,yy, '-ok', mfc='C1', mec='C1')

Plot of two pairs of points, each connected by a separate line

How do I install boto?

While trying out the

pip install boto

command, I encounter the error

ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

After doing that, the following command will work perfectly.

pip install boto

React JS - Uncaught TypeError: this.props.data.map is not a function

As mentioned in the accepted answer, this error is usually caused when the API returns data in a format, say object, instead of in an array.

If no existing answer here cuts it for you, you might want to convert the data you are dealing with into an array with something like:

let madeArr = Object.entries(initialApiResponse)

The resulting madeArr with will be an array of arrays.

This works fine for me whenever I encounter this error.

Left join only selected columns in R with the merge() function

You can do this by subsetting the data you pass into your merge:

merge(x = DF1, y = DF2[ , c("Client", "LO")], by = "Client", all.x=TRUE)

Or you can simply delete the column after your current merge :)

Calculating text width

$.fn.textWidth = function(){
        var w = $('body').append($('<span stlye="display:none;" id="textWidth"/>')).find('#textWidth').html($(this).html()[0]).width();
        $('#textWidth').remove();
        console.log(w);
        return w;
    };

almost a one liner. Gives you the with of the first character

Which HTML elements can receive focus?

There isn't a definite list, it's up to the browser. The only standard we have is DOM Level 2 HTML, according to which the only elements that have a focus() method are HTMLInputElement, HTMLSelectElement, HTMLTextAreaElement and HTMLAnchorElement. This notably omits HTMLButtonElement and HTMLAreaElement.

Today's browsers define focus() on HTMLElement, but an element won't actually take focus unless it's one of:

  • HTMLAnchorElement/HTMLAreaElement with an href
  • HTMLInputElement/HTMLSelectElement/HTMLTextAreaElement/HTMLButtonElement but not with disabled (IE actually gives you an error if you try), and file uploads have unusual behaviour for security reasons
  • HTMLIFrameElement (though focusing it doesn't do anything useful). Other embedding elements also, maybe, I haven't tested them all.
  • Any element with a tabindex

There are likely to be other subtle exceptions and additions to this behaviour depending on browser.

Post order traversal of binary tree without recursion

Here is a solution in C++ that does not require any storage for book keeping in the tree.
Instead it uses two stacks. One to help us traverse and another to store the nodes so we can do a post traversal of them.

std::stack<Node*> leftStack;
std::stack<Node*> rightStack;

Node* currentNode = m_root;
while( !leftStack.empty() || currentNode != NULL )
{
    if( currentNode )
    {
        leftStack.push( currentNode );
        currentNode = currentNode->m_left;
    }
    else
    {
        currentNode = leftStack.top();
        leftStack.pop();

        rightStack.push( currentNode );
        currentNode = currentNode->m_right;
    }
}

while( !rightStack.empty() )
{
    currentNode = rightStack.top();
    rightStack.pop();

    std::cout << currentNode->m_value;
    std::cout << "\n";
}

Setting "checked" for a checkbox with jQuery

Here is code for checked and unchecked with a button:

var set=1;
var unset=0;
jQuery( function() {
    $( '.checkAll' ).live('click', function() {
        $( '.cb-element' ).each(function () {
            if(set==1){ $( '.cb-element' ).attr('checked', true) unset=0; }
            if(set==0){ $( '.cb-element' ).attr('checked', false); unset=1; }
        });
        set=unset;
    });
});

Update: Here is the same code block using the newer Jquery 1.6+ prop method, which replaces attr:

var set=1;
var unset=0;
jQuery( function() {
    $( '.checkAll' ).live('click', function() {
        $( '.cb-element' ).each(function () {
            if(set==1){ $( '.cb-element' ).prop('checked', true) unset=0; }
            if(set==0){ $( '.cb-element' ).prop('checked', false); unset=1; }
        });
        set=unset;
    });
});

How to import JsonConvert in C# application?

After instaling the package you need to add the newtonsoft.json.dll into assemble path by runing the flowing command.

Before we can use our assembly, we have to add it to the global assembly cache (GAC). Open the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt again (for Vista/Windows7/etc. open it as Administrator). And execute the following command. gacutil /i d:\myMethodsForSSIS\myMethodsForSSIS\bin\Release\myMethodsForSSIS.dll

Compiling an application for use in highly radioactive environments

If your hardware fails then you can use mechanical storage to recover it. If your code base is small and have some physical space then you can use a mechanical data store.

Enter image description here

There will be a surface of material which will not be affected by radiation. Multiple gears will be there. A mechanical reader will run on all the gears and will be flexible to move up and down. Down means it is 0 and up means it is 1. From 0 and 1 you can generate your code base.

Update query with PDO and MySQL

  1. Your UPDATE syntax is wrong
  2. You probably meant to update a row not all of them so you have to use WHERE clause to target your specific row

Change

UPDATE `access_users`   
      (`contact_first_name`,`contact_surname`,`contact_email`,`telephone`) 
      VALUES (:firstname, :surname, :telephone, :email)

to

UPDATE `access_users`   
   SET `contact_first_name` = :firstname,
       `contact_surname` = :surname,
       `contact_email` = :email,
       `telephone` = :telephone 
 WHERE `user_id` = :user_id -- you probably have some sort of id 

What is "runtime"?

Runtime basically means when program interacts with the hardware and operating system of a machine. C does not have it's own runtime but instead, it requests runtime from an operating system (which is basically a part of ram) to execute itself.

C# event with custom arguments

EventHandler receives EventArgs as a parameter. To resolve your problem, you can build your own MyEventArgs.

 public enum MyEvents
 { 
    Event1 
 }

 public class MyEventArgs : EventArgs
 {
    public MyEvents MyEvent { get; set; }
 }

 public static event EventHandler<MyEventArgs> EventTriggered; 

 public static void Trigger(MyEvents ev) 
 { 
     if (EventTriggered != null) 
     {
         EventTriggered(null, new MyEventArgs { MyEvent = ev });
     } 
 } 

Get the current script file name

you can also use this:

echo $pageName = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

How can javascript upload a blob?

I tried all the solutions above and in addition, those in related answers as well. Solutions including but not limited to passing the blob manually to a HTMLInputElement's file property, calling all the readAs* methods on FileReader, using a File instance as second argument for a FormData.append call, trying to get the blob data as a string by getting the values at URL.createObjectURL(myBlob) which turned out nasty and crashed my machine.

Now, if you happen to attempt those or more and still find you're unable to upload your blob, it could mean the problem is server-side. In my case, my blob exceeded the http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize and post_max_size limit in PHP.INI so the file was leaving the front end form but getting rejected by the server. You could either increase this value directly in PHP.INI or via .htaccess

Is it possible to set UIView border properties from interface builder?

Its absolutely possible only when you set layer.masksToBounds = true and do you rest stuff.

subtract time from date - moment js

I use moment.js http://momentjs.com/

var start = moment(StartTimeString).toDate().getTime();
var end = moment(EndTimeString).toDate().getTime();
var timespan = end - start;
var duration = moment(timespan);
var output = duration.format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss");

How to find out what type of a Mat object is with Mat::type() in OpenCV

Here is a handy function you can use to help with identifying your opencv matrices at runtime. I find it useful for debugging, at least.

string type2str(int type) {
  string r;

  uchar depth = type & CV_MAT_DEPTH_MASK;
  uchar chans = 1 + (type >> CV_CN_SHIFT);

  switch ( depth ) {
    case CV_8U:  r = "8U"; break;
    case CV_8S:  r = "8S"; break;
    case CV_16U: r = "16U"; break;
    case CV_16S: r = "16S"; break;
    case CV_32S: r = "32S"; break;
    case CV_32F: r = "32F"; break;
    case CV_64F: r = "64F"; break;
    default:     r = "User"; break;
  }

  r += "C";
  r += (chans+'0');

  return r;
}

If M is a var of type Mat you can call it like so:

string ty =  type2str( M.type() );
printf("Matrix: %s %dx%d \n", ty.c_str(), M.cols, M.rows );

Will output data such as:

Matrix: 8UC3 640x480 
Matrix: 64FC1 3x2 

Its worth noting that there are also Matrix methods Mat::depth() and Mat::channels(). This function is just a handy way of getting a human readable interpretation from the combination of those two values whose bits are all stored in the same value.

How to make borders collapse (on a div)?

Instead using border use box-shadow:

  box-shadow: 
    2px 0 0 0 #888, 
    0 2px 0 0 #888, 
    2px 2px 0 0 #888,   /* Just to fix the corner */
    2px 0 0 0 #888 inset, 
    0 2px 0 0 #888 inset;

Why is PHP session_destroy() not working?

I had to also remove session cookies like this:

session_start(); 
$_SESSION = []; 

// If it's desired to kill the session, also 
// delete the session cookie. 
// Note: This will destroy the session, and 
// not just the session data! 
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) { 
    $params = session_get_cookie_params(); 
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000, 
        $params["path"], $params["domain"], 
        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"] 
    ); 
} 

// Finally, destroy the session. 
session_destroy();

How to get pandas.DataFrame columns containing specific dtype

Someone will give you a better answe than this possibly, but one thing I tend to do is if all my numeric data are int64 or float64 objects, then you can create a dict of the column data types and then use the values to create your list of columns.

So for example, in a dataframe where I have columns of type float64, int64 and object firstly you can look at the data types as so:

DF.dtypes

and if they conform to the standard whereby the non-numeric columns of data are all object types (as they are in my dataframes), then you can do the following to get a list of the numeric columns:

[key for key in dict(DF.dtypes) if dict(DF.dtypes)[key] in ['float64', 'int64']]

Its just a simple list comprehension. Nothing fancy. Again, though whether this works for you will depend upon how you set up you dataframe...

How do I round a double to two decimal places in Java?

You can try this one:

public static String getRoundedValue(Double value, String format) {
    DecimalFormat df;
    if(format == null)
        df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
    else 
        df = new DecimalFormat(format);
    return df.format(value);
}

or

public static double roundDoubleValue(double value, int places) {
    if (places < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException();

    long factor = (long) Math.pow(10, places);
    value = value * factor;
    long tmp = Math.round(value);
    return (double) tmp / factor;
}

Check if string is upper, lower, or mixed case in Python

I want to give a shoutout for using re module for this. Specially in the case of case sensitivity.

We use the option re.IGNORECASE while compiling the regex for use of in production environments with large amounts of data.

>>> import re
>>> m = ['isalnum','isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'ISALNUM', 'ISALPHA', 'ISDIGIT', 'ISLOWER', 'ISSPACE', 'ISTITLE', 'ISUPPER']
>>>
>>>
>>> pattern = re.compile('is')
>>>
>>> [word for word in m if pattern.match(word)]
['isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper']

However try to always use the in operator for string comparison as detailed in this post

faster-operation-re-match-or-str

Also detailed in the one of the best books to start learning python with

How do you perform wireless debugging in Xcode 9 with iOS 11, Apple TV 4K, etc?

My problem was about network SSID broadcasting.

I've tried all the solutions above but still couldn't connect my device, there was no 'globe' icon for my device at all. Then I found that for some reason my network had turned its SSID broadcasting off(tho I could still connect the network by inputing the SSID manually). Once I turned the SSID broadcasting on, I could connect my device via 'Connect via IP Address...'.

How to undo 'git reset'?

My situation was slightly different, I did git reset HEAD~ three times.

To undo it I had to do

git reset HEAD@{3}

so you should be able to do

git reset HEAD@{N}

But if you have done git reset using

git reset HEAD~3

you will need to do

git reset HEAD@{1}

{N} represents the number of operations in reflog, as Mark pointed out in the comments.

How to combine results of two queries into a single dataset

I think you are after something like this; (Using row_number() with CTE and performing a FULL OUTER JOIN )

Fiddle example

;with t1 as (
  select col1,col2, row_number() over (order by col1) rn
  from table1 
),
t2 as (
  select col3,col4, row_number() over (order by col3) rn
  from table2
)
select col1,col2,col3,col4
from t1 full outer join t2 on t1.rn = t2.rn

Tables and data :

create table table1 (col1 int, col2 int)
create table table2 (col3 int, col4 int)

insert into table1 values
(1,2),(3,4)

insert into table2 values
(10,11),(30,40),(50,60)

Results :

|   COL1 |   COL2 | COL3 | COL4 |
---------------------------------
|      1 |      2 |   10 |   11 |
|      3 |      4 |   30 |   40 |
| (null) | (null) |   50 |   60 |

What should I use to open a url instead of urlopen in urllib3

With gazpacho you could pipeline the page straight into a parse-able soup object:

from gazpacho import Soup
url = "http://www.thefamouspeople.com/singers.php"
soup = Soup.get(url)

And run finds on top of it:

soup.find("div")

Show a leading zero if a number is less than 10

MVC4 Passing model from view to controller

I hope this complete example will help you.

This is the TaxiInfo class which holds information about a taxi ride:

namespace Taxi.Models
{
    public class TaxiInfo
    {
        public String Driver { get; set; }
        public Double Fare { get; set; }
        public Double Distance { get; set; }
        public String StartLocation { get; set; }
        public String EndLocation { get; set; }
    }
}

We also have a convenience model which holds a List of TaxiInfo(s):

namespace Taxi.Models
{
    public class TaxiInfoSet
    {
        public List<TaxiInfo> TaxiInfoList { get; set; }

        public TaxiInfoSet(params TaxiInfo[] TaxiInfos)
        {
            TaxiInfoList = new List<TaxiInfo>();

            foreach(var TaxiInfo in TaxiInfos)
            {
                TaxiInfoList.Add(TaxiInfo);
            }
        }
    }
}

Now in the home controller we have the default Index action which for this example makes two taxi drivers and adds them to the list contained in a TaxiInfo:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var taxi1 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 20.2, Distance = 15, Driver = "Billy", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "Brisbane" };
    var taxi2 = new TaxiInfo() { Fare = 2339.2, Distance = 1500, Driver = "Smith", StartLocation = "Perth", EndLocation = "America" };

    return View(new TaxiInfoSet(taxi1,taxi2));
}

The code for the view is as follows:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfoSet
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

@foreach(var TaxiInfo in Model.TaxiInfoList){
    <form>
        <h1>Cost: [email protected]</h1>
        <h2>Distance: @(TaxiInfo.Distance) km</h2>
        <p>
            Our diver, @TaxiInfo.Driver will take you from @TaxiInfo.StartLocation to @TaxiInfo.EndLocation
        </p>
        @Html.ActionLink("Home","Booking",TaxiInfo)
    </form>
}

The ActionLink is responsible for the re-directing to the booking action of the Home controller (and passing in the appropriate TaxiInfo object) which is defiend as follows:

    public ActionResult Booking(TaxiInfo Taxi)
    {
        return View(Taxi);
    }

This returns a the following view:

@model Taxi.Models.TaxiInfo

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Booking";
}

<h2>Booking For</h2>
<h1>@Model.Driver, going from @Model.StartLocation to @Model.EndLocation (a total of @Model.Distance km) for [email protected]</h1>

A visual tour:

What is the difference between atomic / volatile / synchronized?

A volatile + synchronization is a fool proof solution for an operation(statement) to be fully atomic which includes multiple instructions to the CPU.

Say for eg:volatile int i = 2; i++, which is nothing but i = i + 1; which makes i as the value 3 in the memory after the execution of this statement. This includes reading the existing value from memory for i(which is 2), load into the CPU accumulator register and do with the calculation by increment the existing value with one(2 + 1 = 3 in accumulator) and then write back that incremented value back to the memory. These operations are not atomic enough though the value is of i is volatile. i being volatile guarantees only that a SINGLE read/write from memory is atomic and not with MULTIPLE. Hence, we need to have synchronized also around i++ to keep it to be fool proof atomic statement. Remember the fact that a statement includes multiple statements.

Hope the explanation is clear enough.

How to fill background image of an UIView

Right way to convert data.frame to a numeric matrix, when df also contains strings?

I manually filled NAs by exporting the CSV then editing it and reimporting, as below.

Perhaps one of you experts might explain why this procedure worked so well (the first file had columns with data of types char, INT and num (floating point numbers)), which all became char type after STEP 1; but at the end of STEP 3 R correctly recognized the datatype of each column).

# STEP 1:
MainOptionFile <- read.csv("XLUopt_XLUstk_v3.csv",
                            header=T, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#... STEP 2:
TestFrame <- subset(MainOptionFile, str_locate(option_symbol,"120616P00034000") > 0)
write.csv(TestFrame, file = "TestFrame2.csv")
# ...
# STEP 3:
# I made various amendments to `TestFrame2.csv`, including replacing all missing data cells with appropriate numbers. I then read that amended data frame back into R as follows:    
XLU_34P_16Jun12 <- read.csv("TestFrame2_v2.csv",
                            header=T,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

On arrival back in R, all columns had their correct measurement levels automatically recognized by R!

Set ANDROID_HOME environment variable in mac

The above answer is correct. Works really well. There is also quick way to do this.

  1. Open command prompt
  2. Type - echo export "ANDROID_HOME=/Users/yourName/Library/Android/sdk" >> ~/.bash_profile

    Thats's it.

  3. Close your terminal.

  4. Open it again.

  5. Type - echo $ANDROID_HOME to check if the home is set.

How to get current location in Android

You need to write code in the OnLocationChanged method, because this method is called when the location has changed. I.e. you need to save the new location to return it if getLocation is called.

If you don't use the onLocationChanged it always will be the old location.

Java Programming: call an exe from Java and passing parameters

Below works for me if your exe depend on some dll or certain dependency then you need to set directory path. As mention below exePath mean folder where exe placed along with it's references files.

Exe application creating any temporaray file so it will create in folder mention in processBuilder.directory(...)

**

ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(arguments);
processBuilder.redirectOutput(Redirect.PIPE);
processBuilder.directory(new File(exePath));
process = processBuilder.start();
int waitFlag = process.waitFor();// Wait to finish application execution.
if (waitFlag == 0) {
...
 int returnVal = process.exitValue();
}

Save array in mysql database

You can use MySQL JSON datatype to store the array

mysql> CREATE TABLE t1 (jdoc JSON);

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO t1 VALUES('{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}');

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

To get the above object in PHP

json_encode(["key1"=> "value1", "key2"=> "value2"]);

Variable name as a string in Javascript

var somefancyvariable = "fancy";
Object.keys({somefancyvariable})[0];

This isn't able to be made into a function as it returns the name of the function's variable.

// THIS DOESN'T WORK
function getVarName(v) {
    return Object.keys({v})[0];
}
// Returns "v"

Edit: Thanks to @Madeo for pointing out how to make this into a function.

function debugVar(varObj) {
    var varName = Object.keys(varObj)[0];
    console.log("Var \"" + varName + "\" has a value of \"" + varObj[varName] + "\"");
}

You will need call the function with a single element array containing the variable. debugVar({somefancyvariable});
Edit: Object.keys can be referenced as just keys in every browser I tested it in but according to the comments it doesn't work everywhere.
