How to prevent tensorflow from allocating the totality of a GPU memory?

Well I am new to tensorflow, I have Geforce 740m or something GPU with 2GB ram, I was running mnist handwritten kind of example for a native language with training data containing of 38700 images and 4300 testing images and was trying to get precision , recall , F1 using following code as sklearn was not giving me precise reults. once i added this to my existing code i started getting GPU errors.

TP = tf.count_nonzero(predicted * actual)
TN = tf.count_nonzero((predicted - 1) * (actual - 1))
FP = tf.count_nonzero(predicted * (actual - 1))
FN = tf.count_nonzero((predicted - 1) * actual)

prec = TP / (TP + FP)
recall = TP / (TP + FN)
f1 = 2 * prec * recall / (prec + recall)

plus my model was heavy i guess, i was getting memory error after 147, 148 epochs, and then I thought why not create functions for the tasks so I dont know if it works this way in tensrorflow, but I thought if a local variable is used and when out of scope it may release memory and i defined the above elements for training and testing in modules, I was able to achieve 10000 epochs without any issues, I hope this will help..

Using multiple IF statements in a batch file

You can structurize your batch file by using goto

IF EXIST somefile.txt goto somefileexists
goto exit

:somefileexists
IF EXIST someotherfile.txt SET var=...

:exit

How to make blinking/flashing text with CSS 3

It works for me by using class=blink for the respective element(s)

Simple JS Code

// Blink
      setInterval(function()
        {

        setTimeout(function()
        {

        //$(".blink").css("color","rgba(0,0,0,0.1)"); // If you want simply black/white blink of text
        $(".blink").css("visibility","hidden"); // This is for Visibility of the element  


        },900);


        //$(".blink").css("color","rgba(0,0,0,1)");  // If you want simply black/white blink of text
        $(".blink").css("visibility","visible");  // This is for Visibility of the element

        },1000);

Input widths on Bootstrap 3

You can add the style attribute or you can add a definition for the input tag in a css file.

Option 1: adding the style attribute

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="ex1" style="width: 100px;">


Option 2: definition in css

input{
  width: 100px
}

You can change the 100px in auto

I hope I could help.

What is the point of "final class" in Java?

final class can avoid breaking the public API when you add new methods

Suppose that on version 1 of your Base class you do:

public class Base {}

and a client does:

class Derived extends Base {
    public int method() { return 1; }
}

Then if in version 2 you want to add a method method to Base:

class Base {
    public String method() { return null; }
}

it would break the client code.

If we had used final class Base instead, the client wouldn't have been able to inherit, and the method addition wouldn't break the API.

Regular expression for matching latitude/longitude coordinates?

This one will strictly match latitude and longitude values that fall within the correct range:

^[-+]?([1-8]?\d(\.\d+)?|90(\.0+)?),\s*[-+]?(180(\.0+)?|((1[0-7]\d)|([1-9]?\d))(\.\d+)?)$

Matches

  • +90.0, -127.554334
  • 45, 180
  • -90, -180
  • -90.000, -180.0000
  • +90, +180
  • 47.1231231, 179.99999999

Doesn't Match

  • -90., -180.
  • +90.1, -100.111
  • -91, 123.456
  • 045, 180

What is the Record type in typescript?

  1. Can someone give a simple definition of what Record is?

A Record<K, T> is an object type whose property keys are K and whose property values are T. That is, keyof Record<K, T> is equivalent to K, and Record<K, T>[K] is (basically) equivalent to T.

  1. Is Record<K,T> merely a way of saying "all properties on this object will have type T"? Probably not all objects, since K has some purpose...

As you note, K has a purpose... to limit the property keys to particular values. If you want to accept all possible string-valued keys, you could do something like Record<string, T>, but the idiomatic way of doing that is to use an index signature like { [k: string]: T }.

  1. Does the K generic forbid additional keys on the object that are not K, or does it allow them and just indicate that their properties are not transformed to T?

It doesn't exactly "forbid" additional keys: after all, a value is generally allowed to have properties not explicitly mentioned in its type... but it wouldn't recognize that such properties exist:

declare const x: Record<"a", string>;
x.b; // error, Property 'b' does not exist on type 'Record<"a", string>'

and it would treat them as excess properties which are sometimes rejected:

declare function acceptR(x: Record<"a", string>): void;
acceptR({a: "hey", b: "you"}); // error, Object literal may only specify known properties

and sometimes accepted:

const y = {a: "hey", b: "you"};
acceptR(y); // okay
  1. With the given example:

    type ThreeStringProps = Record<'prop1' | 'prop2' | 'prop3', string>
    

    Is it exactly the same as this?:

    type ThreeStringProps = {prop1: string, prop2: string, prop3: string}
    

Yes!

Hope that helps. Good luck!

mysql.h file can't be found

The mysql.h file from the libmysqlclient-dev Ubuntu package is located at /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h.

This is not a standard search path for compilers, however /usr/include is.

You'd typically use the mysql.h header in your code like this:

#include <mysql/mysql.h>

If you don't want to specify the directory offset in your source, you can pass the -I flag to gcc (If that's what you are using) to specify an additional include search directory, and then you wouldn't need to change your existing code.

eg.

gcc -I/usr/include/mysql ...

CSS transition effect makes image blurry / moves image 1px, in Chrome?

2020 update

  • If you have issues with blurry images, be sure to check answers from below as well, especially the image-rendering CSS property.
  • For best practice accessibility and SEO wise you could replace the background image with an <img> tag using object-fit CSS property.

Original answer

Try this in your CSS:

.your-class-name {
    /* ... */
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -webkit-transform: translateZ(0) scale(1, 1);
}

What this does is it makes the division to behave "more 2D".

  • Backface is drawn as a default to allow flipping things with rotate and such. There's no need to that if you only move left, right, up, down, scale or rotate (counter-)clockwise.
  • Translate Z-axis to always have a zero value.
  • Chrome now handles backface-visibility and transform without the -webkit- prefix. I currently don't know how this affects other browsers rendering (FF, IE), so use the non-prefixed versions with caution.

Remove a modified file from pull request

A pull request is just that: a request to merge one branch into another.

Your pull request doesn't "contain" anything, it's just a marker saying "please merge this branch into that one".

The set of changes the PR shows in the web UI is just the changes between the target branch and your feature branch. To modify your pull request, you must modify your feature branch, probably with a force push to the feature branch.

In your case, you'll probably want to amend your commit. Not sure about your exact situation, but some combination of interactive rebase and add -p should sort you out.

Formatting text in a TextBlock

You need to use Inlines:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" Text="This is WPF TextBlock Example. " />
    <Run FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Red" Text="This is red text. " />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

With binding:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" Text="{Binding BoldText}" />
    <Run FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Red" Text="{Binding ItalicText}" />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

You can also bind the other properties:

<TextBlock.Inlines>
    <Run FontWeight="{Binding Weight}"
         FontSize="{Binding Size}"
         Text="{Binding LineOne}" />
    <Run FontStyle="{Binding Style}"
         Foreground="Binding Colour}"
         Text="{Binding LineTwo}" />
</TextBlock.Inlines>

You can bind through converters if you have bold as a boolean (say).

How to convert Excel values into buckets?

If all you need to do is count how many values fall in each category, then this is a classic statistics question and can be very elegantly solved with a "histogram."

In Excel, you use the Data Analysis Add-In (if you don't have it already, refer to the link below). Once you understand histograms, you can segregate your data into buckets - called "bins" - very quickly, easily adjust your bins, and automatically chart the data.

It's three simple steps: 1) Put your data in one column 2) Create a column for your bins (10, 20, 30, etc.) 3) Select Data --> Data Analysis --> Histogram and follow the instructions for selecting the data range and bins (you can put the results into a new worksheet and Chart the results from this same menu)

How to set height property for SPAN

Why do you need a span in this case? If you want to style the height could you just use a div? You might try a div with display: inline, although that might have the same issue since you'd in effect be doing the same thing as a span.

Installing pip packages to $HOME folder

While you can use a virtualenv, you don't need to. The trick is passing the PEP370 --user argument to the setup.py script. With the latest version of pip, one way to do it is:

pip install --user mercurial

This should result in the hg script being installed in $HOME/.local/bin/hg and the rest of the hg package in $HOME/.local/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages/.

Note, that the above is true for Python 2.6. There has been a bit of controversy among the Python core developers about what is the appropriate directory location on Mac OS X for PEP370-style user installations. In Python 2.7 and 3.2, the location on Mac OS X was changed from $HOME/.local to $HOME/Library/Python. This might change in a future release. But, for now, on 2.7 (and 3.2, if hg were supported on Python 3), the above locations will be $HOME/Library/Python/x.y/bin/hg and $HOME/Library/Python/x.y/lib/python/site-packages.

Is SMTP based on TCP or UDP?

Seems the SMTP as internet standard uses only reliable Transport protocol. RFC821 has TCP, NCP, NITS as examples!

Entity Framework - Linq query with order by and group by

You can try to cast the result of GroupBy and Take into an Enumerable first then process the rest (building on the solution provided by NinjaNye

var groupByReference = (from m in context.Measurements
                              .GroupBy(m => m.Reference)
                              .Take(numOfEntries).AsEnumerable()
                               .Select(g => new {Creation = g.FirstOrDefault().CreationTime, 
                                             Avg = g.Average(m => m.CreationTime.Ticks),
                                                Items = g })
                              .OrderBy(x => x.Creation)
                              .ThenBy(x => x.Avg)
                              .ToList() select m);

Your sql query would look similar (depending on your input) this

SELECT TOP (3) [t1].[Reference] AS [Key]
FROM (
    SELECT [t0].[Reference]
    FROM [Measurements] AS [t0]
    GROUP BY [t0].[Reference]
    ) AS [t1]
GO

-- Region Parameters
DECLARE @x1 NVarChar(1000) = 'Ref1'
-- EndRegion
SELECT [t0].[CreationTime], [t0].[Id], [t0].[Reference]
FROM [Measurements] AS [t0]
WHERE @x1 = [t0].[Reference]
GO

-- Region Parameters
DECLARE @x1 NVarChar(1000) = 'Ref2'
-- EndRegion
SELECT [t0].[CreationTime], [t0].[Id], [t0].[Reference]
FROM [Measurements] AS [t0]
WHERE @x1 = [t0].[Reference]

How to set minDate to current date in jQuery UI Datepicker?

minDate property for current date works on for both -> minDate:"yy-mm-dd" or minDate:0

No module named 'openpyxl' - Python 3.4 - Ubuntu

@zetysz and @Manish already fixed the problem. I am just putting this in an answer for future reference:

  • pip refers to Python 2 as a default in Ubuntu, this means that pip install x will install the module for Python 2 and not for 3

  • pip3 refers to Python 3, it will install the module for Python 3

Java - Check if input is a positive integer, negative integer, natural number and so on.

(You should you as Else-If statement to check the for the three different state (positive, negative, 0)

Here is a simple example (excludes the possibility of non-integer values)

  import java.util.Scanner;

  public class Compare {

   public static void main(String[] args) { 

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
    int number = input.nextInt();

    if( number == 0)
    { System.out.println("Number is equal to zero"); }
    else if (number > 0)
    { System.out.println("Number is positive"); }
    else 
    { System.out.println("Number is negative"); }


  }

Putting HTML inside Html.ActionLink(), plus No Link Text?

I thought this might be useful when using bootstrap and some glypicons:

<a class="btn btn-primary" 
    href="<%: Url.Action("Download File", "Download", 
    new { id = msg.Id, distributorId = msg.DistributorId }) %>">
    Download
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-paperclip"></span>
</a>

This will show an A tag, with a link to a controller, with a nice paperclip icon on it to represent a download link, and the html output is kept clean

Select first row in each GROUP BY group?

This way it work for me:

              FROM shop s2
              WHERE s1.article = s2.article
              GROUP BY s2.article)
ORDER BY article;

Select highest price on each article

Convert php array to Javascript

It can be done in a safer way.

If your PHP array contains special characters, you need to use rawurlencode() in PHP and then use decodeURIComponent() in JS to escape those. And parse the JSON to native js. Try this:

var data = JSON.parse(
        decodeURIComponent(
            "<?=rawurlencode(json_encode($data));?>"
        )
    );

console.log(data);

Text file in VBA: Open/Find Replace/SaveAs/Close File

Just add this line

sFileName = "C:\someotherfilelocation"

right before this line

Open sFileName For Output As iFileNum

The idea is to open and write to a different file than the one you read earlier (C:\filelocation).

If you want to get fancy and show a real "Save As" dialog box, you could do this instead:

sFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename()

CSS: Responsive way to center a fluid div (without px width) while limiting the maximum width?

Centering both horizontally and vertically

Actually, having the height and width in percents makes centering it even easier. You just offset the left and top by half of the area not occupied by the div.

So if you height is 40%, 100% - 40% = 60%. So you want 30% above and below. Then top: 30% does the trick.

See the example here: http://dabblet.com/gist/5957545

Centering only horizontally

Use inline-block. The other answer here will not work for IE 8 and below, however. You must use a CSS hack or conditional styles for that. Here is the hack version:

See the example here: http://dabblet.com/gist/5957591

.inlineblock { 
    display: inline-block;
    zoom: 1;
    display*: inline; /* ie hack */
}

EDIT

By using media queries you can combine two techniques to achive the effect you want. The only complication is height. You use a nested div to switch between % width and

http://dabblet.com/gist/5957676

@media (max-width: 1000px) {
    .center{}
    .center-inner{left:25%;top:25%;position:absolute;width:50%;height:300px;background:#f0f;text-align:center;max-width:500px;max-height:500px;}
}
@media (min-width: 1000px) {
    .center{left:50%;top:25%;position:absolute;}
    .center-inner{width:500px;height:100%;margin-left:-250px;height:300px;background:#f0f;text-align:center;max-width:500px;max-height:500px;}
}

How to SELECT by MAX(date)?

Accordig to this: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=54784 casting as char should do the trick:

FROM reports
GROUP BY report_id, computer_id

How to avoid the "Circular view path" exception with Spring MVC test

In my case, I was trying out Kotlin + Spring boot and I got into the Circular View Path issue. All the suggestions I got online could not help, until I tried the below:

Originally I had annotated my controller using @Controller

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller

I then replaced @Controller with @RestController

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController

And it worked.

ErrorActionPreference and ErrorAction SilentlyContinue for Get-PSSessionConfiguration

A solution for me:

$old_ErrorActionPreference = $ErrorActionPreference
$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
if((Get-PSSessionConfiguration -Name "MyShellUri" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
   WriteTraceForTrans "The session configuration MyShellUri is already unregistered."
}
else {        
   #Unregister-PSSessionConfiguration -Name "MyShellUri" -Force -ErrorAction Ignore
}
$ErrorActionPreference = $old_ErrorActionPreference 

Or use try-catch

try { 

(Get-PSSessionConfiguration -Name "MyShellUri" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)

} 
catch {

}

Difference between single and double quotes in Bash

Others explained very well and just want to give with simple examples.

Single quotes can be used around text to prevent the shell from interpreting any special characters. Dollar signs, spaces, ampersands, asterisks and other special characters are all ignored when enclosed within single quotes.

$ echo 'All sorts of things are ignored in single quotes, like $ & * ; |.' 

It will give this:

All sorts of things are ignored in single quotes, like $ & * ; |.

The only thing that cannot be put within single quotes is a single quote.

Double quotes act similarly to single quotes, except double quotes still allow the shell to interpret dollar signs, back quotes and backslashes. It is already known that backslashes prevent a single special character from being interpreted. This can be useful within double quotes if a dollar sign needs to be used as text instead of for a variable. It also allows double quotes to be escaped so they are not interpreted as the end of a quoted string.

$ echo "Here's how we can use single ' and double \" quotes within double quotes"

It will give this:

Here's how we can use single ' and double " quotes within double quotes

It may also be noticed that the apostrophe, which would otherwise be interpreted as the beginning of a quoted string, is ignored within double quotes. Variables, however, are interpreted and substituted with their values within double quotes.

$ echo "The current Oracle SID is $ORACLE_SID"

It will give this:

The current Oracle SID is test

Back quotes are wholly unlike single or double quotes. Instead of being used to prevent the interpretation of special characters, back quotes actually force the execution of the commands they enclose. After the enclosed commands are executed, their output is substituted in place of the back quotes in the original line. This will be clearer with an example.

$ today=`date '+%A, %B %d, %Y'`
$ echo $today 

It will give this:

Monday, September 28, 2015 

ignoring any 'bin' directory on a git project

Before version 1.8.2, ** didn't have any special meaning in the .gitignore. As of 1.8.2 git supports ** to mean zero or more sub-directories (see release notes).

The way to ignore all directories called bin anywhere below the current level in a directory tree is with a .gitignore file with the pattern:

bin/

In the man page, there an example of ignoring a directory called foo using an analogous pattern.

Edit: If you already have any bin folders in your git index which you no longer wish to track then you need to remove them explicitly. Git won't stop tracking paths that are already being tracked just because they now match a new .gitignore pattern. Execute a folder remove (rm) from index only (--cached) recursivelly (-r). Command line example for root bin folder:

git rm -r --cached bin

Adding open/closed icon to Twitter Bootstrap collapsibles (accordions)

Here is my solution which is further refined from one posted by @john-magnolia and solves some of its issues

/**
 * Toggle on/off arrow for Twitter Bootstrap collapsibles.
 *
 * Multi-collapsible-friendly; supports several collapsibles in the same group, on the same page.
 */
function animateCollapsibles() {

    $('.collapse').on('show', function() {
        var $t = $(this);
        var header = $("a[href='#" + $t.attr("id") + "']");
        header.find(".icon-chevron-right").removeClass("icon-chevron-right").addClass("icon-chevron-down");
    }).on('hide', function(){
        var $t = $(this);
        var header = $("a[href='#" + $t.attr("id") + "']");
        header.find(".icon-chevron-down").removeClass("icon-chevron-down").addClass("icon-chevron-right");
    });
}

And here is the example markup:

<div class="accordion" id="accordion-send">
    <div class="accordion-group">
        <div class="accordion-heading">
            <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-send" href="#collapse-refund">
                <i class="icon icon-chevron-right"></i> Send notice
            </a>
        </div>
        <div id="collapse-refund" class="accordion-body collapse">
            <div class="accordion-inner">
                <p>Lorem ipsum Toholampi city</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Put quotes around a variable string in JavaScript

You can add these single quotes with template literals:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var text = "http://example.com"_x000D_
var quoteText = `'${text}'`_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(quoteText)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Docs are here. Browsers that support template literals listed here.

How to show code but hide output in RMarkdown?

For completely silencing the output, here what works for me

```{r error=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}
invisible({capture.output({


# Your code here

# etc etc


})})
```

The 5 measures used above are

  1. error = FALSE
  2. warning = FALSE
  3. message = FALSE
  4. invisible()
  5. capture.output()

How can I get a Unicode character's code?

Just convert it to int:

char registered = '®';
int code = (int) registered;

In fact there's an implicit conversion from char to int so you don't have to specify it explicitly as I've done above, but I would do so in this case to make it obvious what you're trying to do.

This will give the UTF-16 code unit - which is the same as the Unicode code point for any character defined in the Basic Multilingual Plane. (And only BMP characters can be represented as char values in Java.) As Andrzej Doyle's answer says, if you want the Unicode code point from an arbitrary string, use Character.codePointAt().

Once you've got the UTF-16 code unit or Unicode code points, but of which are integers, it's up to you what you do with them. If you want a string representation, you need to decide exactly what kind of representation you want. (For example, if you know the value will always be in the BMP, you might want a fixed 4-digit hex representation prefixed with U+, e.g. "U+0020" for space.) That's beyond the scope of this question though, as we don't know what the requirements are.

FirstOrDefault: Default value other than null

Use DefaultIfEmpty() instead of FirstOrDefault().

REST API Authentication

I think the best approach is to use OAuth2. Google it and you will find a lot of useful posts to help you set it up.

It will make easier to develop client applications for your API from a web app or a mobile one.

$browser = get_browser(null, true);
print_r($browser);

The $browser array has platform information included which gives you the specific Operating System in use.

Please make sure to see the "Notes" section in that page. This might be something (thismachine.info) is using if not something already pointed in other answers.

Android Studio - Unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I had this problem today after upgrading to Android Studio 3.2 Beta 2. I had configured my JDK for OpenJDK 10.0.1, and it threw this error after upgrading. I set the JDK back to using the enbedded JDK, and the error went away.enter image description here

I have no idea why it worked fine before I upgraded to Beta 2, but all is good now. Honestly I guess there is no need for OpenJDK 10 for Android.

Set encoding and fileencoding to utf-8 in Vim

You can set the variable 'fileencodings' in your .vimrc.

This is a list of character encodings considered when starting to edit an existing file. When a file is read, Vim tries to use the first mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works, 'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to an empty string, which means the value of 'encoding' is used.

See :help filencodings

If you often work with e.g. cp1252, you can add it there:

set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp1252,default,latin9

What does #defining WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN exclude exactly?

Complementing the above answers and also "Parroting" from the Windows Dev Center documentation,

The Winsock2.h header file internally includes core elements from the Windows.h header file, so there is not usually an #include line for the Windows.h header file in Winsock applications. If an #include line is needed for the Windows.h header file, this should be preceded with the #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN macro. For historical reasons, the Windows.h header defaults to including the Winsock.h header file for Windows Sockets 1.1. The declarations in the Winsock.h header file will conflict with the declarations in the Winsock2.h header file required by Windows Sockets 2.0. The WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN macro prevents the Winsock.h from being included by the Windows.h header ..

How can I bind to the change event of a textarea in jQuery?

Here's another (modern) but slightly different version than the ones mentioned before. Tested with IE9:

$('#textareaID').on('input change keyup', function () {
  if (this.value.length) {
    // textarea has content
  } else {
    // textarea is empty
  }
});

For outdated browsers you might also add selectionchange and propertychange (as mentioned in other answers). But selectionchange didn't work for me in IE9. That's why I added keyup.

How can I get npm start at a different directory?

Per this npm issue list, one work around could be done through npm config

name: 'foo'
config: { path: "baz" },
scripts: { start: "node ./$npm_package_config_path" }

Under windows, the scripts could be { start: "node ./%npm_package_config_path%" }

Then run the command line as below

npm start --foo:path=myapp

onclick open window and specific size

<a style="cursor:pointer"
  onclick=" window.open('http://YOUR.URL.TARGET','',' scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=500, resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no')">Your text</a>

How to URL encode in Python 3?

You’re looking for urllib.parse.urlencode

# Returns: 'username=administrator&password=xyz'

Good Linux (Ubuntu) SVN client

If you use it, NetBeans has superb version control management, with several clients besides SVN.

I'd recommend however that you learn how to use SVN from the command line. CLI is the spirit of Linux :)

How does BitLocker affect performance?

Some practical tests...

  • Dell Latitude E7440
  • Intel Core i7-4600U
  • 16.0 GB
  • Windows 8.1 Professional
  • LiteOn IT LMT-256M6M MSATA 256GB

This test is using a system partition. Results for a non-system partition are a bit better.

Score decrease:
Read: 5%
Write: 16%

Without BitLocker:

Without BitLocker

With BitLocker:

With BitLocker

So you can see that with a very strong configuration and a modern SSD disk you can see a small performance degradation with tests. I don't know what about a typical work, especially with the Visual Studio.

Find and extract a number from a string

  string verificationCode ="dmdsnjds5344gfgk65585";
            string code = "";
            Regex r1 = new Regex("\\d+");
          Match m1 = r1.Match(verificationCode);
           while (m1.Success)
            {

How to ignore whitespace in a regular expression subject string?

If you only want to allow spaces, then

\bc *a *t *s\b

should do it. To also allow tabs, use

\bc[ \t]*a[ \t]*t[ \t]*s\b

Remove the \b anchors if you also want to find cats within words like bobcats or catsup.

In jQuery, how do I get the value of a radio button when they all have the same name?

in your selector, you should also specify that you want the checked radiobutton:

$(function(){
    $("#submit").click(function(){      
        alert($('input[name=q12_3]:checked').val());
    });
 });

ASP.NET MVC: Custom Validation by DataAnnotation

Background:

Model validations are required for ensuring that the received data we receive is valid and correct so that we can do the further processing with this data. We can validate a model in an action method. The built-in validation attributes are Compare, Range, RegularExpression, Required, StringLength. However we may have scenarios wherein we required validation attributes other than the built-in ones.

Custom Validation Attributes

public class EmployeeModel 
{
    [Required]
    [UniqueEmailAddress]
    public string EmailAddress {get;set;}
    public string FirstName {get;set;}
    public string LastName {get;set;}
    public int OrganizationId {get;set;}
}

To create a custom validation attribute, you will have to derive this class from ValidationAttribute.

public class UniqueEmailAddress : ValidationAttribute
{
    private IEmployeeRepository _employeeRepository;
    [Inject]
    public IEmployeeRepository EmployeeRepository
    {
        get { return _employeeRepository; }
        set
        {
            _employeeRepository = value;
        }
    }
    protected override ValidationResult IsValid(object value,
                        ValidationContext validationContext)
    {
        var model = (EmployeeModel)validationContext.ObjectInstance;
        if(model.Field1 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field1 is null");
        }
        if(model.Field2 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field2 is null");
        }
        if(model.Field3 == null){
            return new ValidationResult("Field3 is null");
        }
        return ValidationResult.Success;
    }
}

Hope this helps. Cheers !

Domain Account keeping locking out with correct password every few minutes

We just had a similar issue, looks like the user reset his password on Friday and over the weekend and on Monday he kept getting locked out.

Turned out to be he forgot to update his password on his mobile phone.

AngularJS - Binding radio buttons to models with boolean values

That's an odd approach with isUserAnswer. Are you really going to send all three choices back to the server where it will loop through each one checking for isUserAnswer == true? If so, you can try this:

http://jsfiddle.net/hgxjv/4/

HTML:

<input type="radio" name="response" value="true" ng-click="setChoiceForQuestion(question1, choice)"/>

JavaScript:

$scope.setChoiceForQuestion = function (q, c) {
    angular.forEach(q.choices, function (c) {
        c.isUserAnswer = false;
    });

    c.isUserAnswer = true;
};

Alternatively, I'd recommend changing your tack:

http://jsfiddle.net/hgxjv/5/

<input type="radio" name="response" value="{{choice.id}}" ng-model="question1.userChoiceId"/>

That way you can just send {{question1.userChoiceId}} back to the server.

Can I animate absolute positioned element with CSS transition?

    top:40px;
    transition:left 1s linear;

Weird behavior of the != XPath operator

If $AccountNumber or $Balance is a node-set, then this behavior could easily happen. It's not because and is being treated as or.

For example, if $AccountNumber referred to nodes with the values 12345 and 66 and $Balance referred to nodes with the values 55 and 0, then $AccountNumber != '12345' would be true (because 66 is not equal to 12345) and $Balance != '0' would be true (because 55 is not equal to 0).

I'd suggest trying this instead:

<xsl:when test="not($AccountNumber = '12345' or $Balance = '0')">

$AccountNumber = '12345' or $Balance = '0' will be true any time there is an $AccountNumber with the value 12345 or there is a $Balance with the value 0, and if you apply not() to that, you will get a false result.

Python causing: IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '../results/32766.html' on disk with lots of space

The ENOSPC ("No space left on device") error will be triggered in any situation in which the data or the metadata associated with an I/O operation can't be written down anywhere because of lack of space. This doesn't always mean disk space – it could mean physical disk space, logical space (e.g. maximum file length), space in a certain data structure or address space. For example you can get it if there isn't space in the directory table (vfat) or there aren't any inodes left. It roughly means “I can't find where to write this down”.

Particularly in Python, this can happen on any write I/O operation. It can happen during f.write, but it can also happen on open, on f.flush and even on f.close. Where it happened provides a vital clue for the reason that it did – if it happened on open there wasn't enough space to write the metadata for the entry, if it happened during f.write, f.flush or f.close there wasn't enough disk space left or you've exceeded the maximum file size.

If the filesystem in the given directory is vfat you'd hit the maximum file limit at about the same time that you did. The limit is supposed to be 2^16 directory entries, but if I recall correctly some other factors can affect it (e.g. some files require more than one entry).

It would be best to avoid creating so many files in a directory. Few filesystems handle so many directory entries with ease. Unless you're certain that your filesystem deals well with many files in a directory, you can consider another strategy (e.g. create more directories).

P.S. Also do not trust the remaining disk space – some file systems reserve some space for root and others miscalculate the free space and give you a number that just isn't true.

C#: calling a button event handler method without actually clicking the button

You can use reflection to Invoke the OnClick method which will fire the click event handlers.

I feel dirty posting this but it works...

MethodInfo clickMethodInfo = typeof(Button).GetMethod("OnClick", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

clickMethodInfo.Invoke(buttonToInvoke, new object[] { EventArgs.Empty });

select a value where it doesn't exist in another table

You could use NOT IN:

SELECT A.* FROM A WHERE ID NOT IN(SELECT ID FROM B)

However, meanwhile i prefer NOT EXISTS:

SELECT A.* FROM A WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM B WHERE B.ID=A.ID)

There are other options as well, this article explains all advantages and disadvantages very well:

Should I use NOT IN, OUTER APPLY, LEFT OUTER JOIN, EXCEPT, or NOT EXISTS?

How to set cookie value with AJAX request?

Basically, ajax request as well as synchronous request sends your document cookies automatically. So, you need to set your cookie to document, not to request. However, your request is cross-domain, and things became more complicated. Basing on this answer, additionally to set document cookie, you should allow its sending to cross-domain environment:

type: "GET",    
url: "http://example.com",
cache: false,
// NO setCookies option available, set cookie to document
//setCookies: "lkfh89asdhjahska7al446dfg5kgfbfgdhfdbfgcvbcbc dfskljvdfhpl",
crossDomain: true,
dataType: 'json',
xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true
},
success: function (data) {
    alert(data);
});

How to make FileFilter in java?

You are going wrong here:

int retval = chooser.showOpenDialog(null); 
public boolean accept(File directory, String fileName) {`
return fileName.endsWith(".txt");`
}

You first show the file chooser dialog and then apply the filter! This wont work. First apply the filter and then show the dialog:

public boolean accept(File directory, String fileName) {
        return fileName.endsWith(".txt");
}
int retval = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);

git submodule tracking latest

Edit (2020.12.28): GitHub change default master branch to main branch since October 2020. See https://github.com/github/renaming


Update March 2013

Git 1.8.2 added the possibility to track branches.

"git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit recorded in the superproject's gitlink).

# add submodule to track master branch
git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo];

# update your submodule
git submodule update --remote 

If you had a submodule already present you now wish would track a branch, see "how to make an existing submodule track a branch".

Also see Vogella's tutorial on submodules for general information on submodules.

Note:

git submodule add -b . [URL to Git repo];
                    ^^^

See git submodule man page:

A special value of . is used to indicate that the name of the branch in the submodule should be the same name as the current branch in the current repository.


See commit b928922727d6691a3bdc28160f93f25712c565f6:

submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules

This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in .gitmodules when you add a new submodule. With this patch,

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
$ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

$ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the submodule, which is usually what you want.

Original answer (February 2012):

A submodule is a single commit referenced by a parent repo.
Since it is a Git repo on its own, the "history of all commits" is accessible through a git log within that submodule.

So for a parent to track automatically the latest commit of a given branch of a submodule, it would need to:

  • cd in the submodule
  • git fetch/pull to make sure it has the latest commits on the right branch
  • cd back in the parent repo
  • add and commit in order to record the new commit of the submodule.

gitslave (that you already looked at) seems to be the best fit, including for the commit operation.

It is a little annoying to make changes to the submodule due to the requirement to check out onto the correct submodule branch, make the change, commit, and then go into the superproject and commit the commit (or at least record the new location of the submodule).

Other alternatives are detailed here.

Configuring Git over SSH to login once

Extending Muein's thoughts for those who prefer to edit files directly over running commands in git-bash or terminal.

Go to the .git directory of your project (project root on your local machine) and open the 'config' file. Then look for [remote "origin"] and set the url config as follows:

[remote "origin"]
    #the address part will be different depending upon the service you're using github, bitbucket, unfuddle etc.
    url = [email protected]:<username>/<projectname>.git

Displaying a message in iOS which has the same functionality as Toast in Android

Swift 3

For a simple solution without third party code:

enter image description here

Just use a normal UIAlertController but with style = actionSheet (look at code down below)

let alertDisapperTimeInSeconds = 2.0
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Toast!", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
self.present(alert, animated: true)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + alertDisapperTimeInSeconds) {
  alert.dismiss(animated: true)
}

The advantage of this solution:

  1. Android like Toast message
  2. Still iOS Look&Feel

Compare and contrast REST and SOAP web services?

In day to day, practical programming terms, the biggest difference is in the fact that with SOAP you are working with static and strongly defined data exchange formats where as with REST and JSON data exchange formatting is very loose by comparison. For example with SOAP you can validate that exchanged data matches an XSD schema. The XSD therefore serves as a 'contract' on how the client and the server are to understand how the data being exchanged must be structured.

JSON data is typically not passed around according to a strongly defined format (unless you're using a framework that supports it .. e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj870778.aspx or implementing json-schema).

In-fact, some (many/most) would argue that the "dynamic" secret sauce of JSON goes against the philosophy/culture of constraining it by data contracts (Should JSON RESTful web services use data contract)

People used to working in dynamic loosely typed languages tend to feel more comfortable with the looseness of JSON while developers from strongly typed languages prefer XML.

From milliseconds to hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds

not really eleganter, but a bit shorter would be

function to_tuple(x):
   y = 60*60*1000
   h = x/y
   m = (x-(h*y))/(y/60)
   s = (x-(h*y)-(m*(y/60)))/1000
   mi = x-(h*y)-(m*(y/60))-(s*1000)

   return (h,m,s,mi)

Create a file from a ByteArrayOutputStream

You can use a FileOutputStream for this.

FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
    fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("myFile")); 
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    // Put data in your baos

    baos.writeTo(fos);
} catch(IOException ioe) {
    // Handle exception here
    ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    fos.close();
}

#pragma mark in Swift?

I think Extensions is a better way instead of #pragma mark.

The Code before using Extensions:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {
    ...

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        ...
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        ...
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        ...
    }
}

The code after using Extensions:

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    ...
}

extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDataSource {
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        ...
    }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        ...
    }
}

extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate {
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
       ...
    }
}

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express permissions -- cannot create database or modify users

Coming late to the party, but I found this fantastic step-by-step guide on getting control of your SQLExpress instance if you don't have your sa password. I used this process to not only reset my sa password, but I also added my domain account to all the available server roles. I can now create databases, alter logins, do bulk operations, backups/restores, etc using my normal login.

To summarize, you use SQL Server Configuration Manager to put your instance into single-user mode. This elevates you to sysadmin when you connect, allowing you the ability to set everything up.

Edit: I've copied the steps below - kudos to the original author of the link above.

  1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator (or Any user with administrator privileges)
  2. Open "SQL Server Configuration Manager"
  3. Click "SQL Server Services" on the left pane
  4. Stop "SQL Server" and "SQL Server Agent" instance on the right pane if it is running
  5. Run the SQL Express in single-user mode by right clicking on "SQL Server" instance -> Properties (on the right pane of SQL Server Configuration Manager).
  6. Click Advanced Tab, and look for "Startup Parameters". Change the "Startup Parameters" so that the new value will be -m; (without the <>) example: from: -dc:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL.............(til end of string) to: -m;-dc:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL.............(til end of string)
  7. Start the SQL Server
  8. Open your MS SQL Server Management Studio and log on to the SQL server with "Windows Authentication" as the authentication mode. Since we have the SQL Server running on single user mode, and you are logged on to the computer with Administrator privileges, you will have a "sysadmin" access to the database.
  9. Expand the "Security" node on MS SQL Server Management Studio on the left pane
  10. Expand the "Logins" node
  11. Double-click the 'sa' login
  12. Change the password by entering a complex password if "Enforce password policy" is ticked, otherwise, just enter any password.
  13. Make sure that "sa" Account is "enabled" by clicking on Status on the left pane. Set the radio box under "Login" to "Enabled"
  14. Click "OK"
  15. Back on the main window of MS SQL Server Management Studio, verify if SQL Server Authentication is used by right clicking on the top most node in the left pane (usually ".\SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server )") and choosing properties.
  16. Click "Security" in the left pane and ensure that "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode" is the one selected under "Server authentication"
  17. Click "OK"
  18. Disconnect from MS SQL Server Management Studio
  19. Open "Sql Server Configuration Manager" again and stop the SQL Server instance.
  20. Right-click on SQL Server instance and click on "Advanced" tab. Again look for "Startup Parameters" and remove the "-m;" that you added earlier.
  21. Click "OK" and start the SQL Server Instance again
  22. You should now be able to log on as "sa" using the new password that you have set in step 12.

Sorting by date & time in descending order?

Following Query works for me. Database Tabel t_sonde_results has domain d_date (datatype DATE) and d_time (datatype TIME) The intention is to query for last entry in t_sonde_results sorted by Date and Time

select * from (select * from (SELECT * FROM t_sonde_results WHERE d_user_name = 'kenis' and d_smartbox_id = 6 order by d_time asc) AS tmp order by d_date and d_time limit 1) as tmp1

explode string in jquery

Split creates an array . You can access the individual values by using a index.

var result=$(row).val().split('|')[2]
alert(result);

OR

var result=$(row).val().split('|');
alert(result[2]);

If it's input element then you need to use $(row).val() to get the value..

Otherwise you would need to use $(row).text() or $(row).html()

Correct way to pause a Python program

In Linux, you can issue kill -TSTP <pid> to the background and stop a process. So, it's there, but not consuming CPU time.

Then later, kill -CONT <pid> and it's off and running again.

String isNullOrEmpty in Java?

If you are doing android development, you can use:

TextUtils.isEmpty (CharSequence str) 

Added in API level 1 Returns true if the string is null or 0-length.

Using SUMIFS with multiple AND OR conditions

Speed

SUMPRODUCT is faster than SUM arrays, i.e. having {} arrays in the SUM function. SUMIFS is 30% faster than SUMPRODUCT.

{SUM(SUMIFS({}))} vs SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS({})) both works fine, but SUMPRODUCT feels a bit easier to write without the CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to create the {}.

Preference

I personally prefer writing SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(...)))) over SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS({})) for multiple criteria.

However, if you have a drop-down menu where you want to select specific characteristics or all, SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS()), is the only way to go. (as for selecting "all", the value should enter in "<>" + "Whatever word you want as long as it's not part of the specific characteristics".

Printf width specifier to maintain precision of floating-point value

In one of my comments to an answer I lamented that I've long wanted some way to print all the significant digits in a floating point value in decimal form, in much the same way the as the question asks. Well I finally sat down and wrote it. It's not quite perfect, and this is demo code that prints additional information, but it mostly works for my tests. Please let me know if you (i.e. anyone) would like a copy of the whole wrapper program which drives it for testing.

static unsigned int
ilog10(uintmax_t v);

/*
 * Note:  As presented this demo code prints a whole line including information
 * about how the form was arrived with, as well as in certain cases a couple of
 * interesting details about the number, such as the number of decimal places,
 * and possibley the magnitude of the value and the number of significant
 * digits.

        /*
         * If we really want to see a plain decimal presentation with all of
         * the possible significant digits of precision for a floating point
         * number, then we must calculate the correct number of decimal places
         * to show with "%.*f" as follows.
         *
         * This is in lieu of always using either full on scientific notation
         * with "%e" (where the presentation is always in decimal format so we
         * can directly print the maximum number of significant digits
         * supported by the representation, taking into acount the one digit
         * represented by by the leading digit)
         *
         *        printf("%1.*e", DBL_DECIMAL_DIG - 1, d)
         *
         * or using the built-in human-friendly formatting with "%g" (where a
         * '*' parameter is used as the number of significant digits to print
         * and so we can just print exactly the maximum number supported by the
         * representation)
         *
         *         printf("%.*g", DBL_DECIMAL_DIG, d)
         *
         *
         * N.B.:  If we want the printed result to again survive a round-trip
         * conversion to binary and back, and to be rounded to a human-friendly
         * number, then we can only print DBL_DIG significant digits (instead
         * of the larger DBL_DECIMAL_DIG digits).
         *

Writing unit tests in Python: How do I start?

The docs for unittest would be a good place to start.

Also, it is a bit late now, but in the future please consider writing unit tests before or during the project itself. That way you can use them to test as you go along, and (in theory) you can use them as regression tests, to verify that your code changes have not broken any existing code. This would give you the full benefit of writing test cases :)

How do I overload the [] operator in C#

public int this[int index]
{
    get => values[index];
}

How does collections.defaultdict work?

In short:

defaultdict(int) - the argument int indicates that the values will be int type.

defaultdict(list) - the argument list indicates that the values will be list type.

Android M - check runtime permission - how to determine if the user checked "Never ask again"?

Try this simple permission library. It will handle all operations related to permission in 3 easy steps. It saved my time. You can finish all permission related work in 15 mins.

It can handle Deny, It can handle Never ask again, It can call app settings for permission, It can give a Rational message, It can give a Denial message, It can give a list of accepted permissions, It can give a list of denied permissions and etc.

https://github.com/ParkSangGwon/TedPermission

Step 1: add your dependency

dependencies {
     compile 'gun0912.ted:tedpermission:2.1.1'
     //check the above link for latest libraries
}

Step2: Ask permissions

TedPermission.with(this)
    .setPermissionListener(permissionlistener)
    .setDeniedMessage("If you reject permission,you can not use this service\n\nPlease turn on permissions at [Setting] > [Permission]")
    .setPermissions(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
    .check();

Step 3: Handle permission response

PermissionListener permissionlistener = new PermissionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPermissionGranted() {
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onPermissionDenied(ArrayList<String> deniedPermissions) {
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Denied\n" + deniedPermissions.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
};

Sum all the elements java arraylist

I haven't tested it but it should work.

public double incassoMargherita()
{
    double sum = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < m.size(); i++)
    {
        sum = sum + m.get(i);
    }
    return sum;
}

Convert Mat to Array/Vector in OpenCV

Can be done in two lines :)

Mat to array

uchar * arr = image.isContinuous()? image.data: image.clone().data;
uint length = image.total()*image.channels();

Mat to vector

cv::Mat flat = image.reshape(1, image.total()*image.channels());
std::vector<uchar> vec = image.isContinuous()? flat : flat.clone();

Both work for any general cv::Mat.

Explanation with a working example

    cv::Mat image;
    image = cv::imread(argv[1], cv::IMREAD_UNCHANGED);   // Read the file
    cv::namedWindow("cvmat", cv::WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
    cv::imshow("cvmat", image );                   // Show our image inside it.

    // flatten the mat.
    uint totalElements = image.total()*image.channels(); // Note: image.total() == rows*cols.
    cv::Mat flat = image.reshape(1, totalElements); // 1xN mat of 1 channel, O(1) operation
    if(!image.isContinuous()) {
        flat = flat.clone(); // O(N),
    }
    // flat.data is your array pointer
    auto * ptr = flat.data; // usually, its uchar*
    // You have your array, its length is flat.total() [rows=1, cols=totalElements]
    // Converting to vector
    std::vector<uchar> vec(flat.data, flat.data + flat.total());
    // Testing by reconstruction of cvMat
    cv::Mat restored = cv::Mat(image.rows, image.cols, image.type(), ptr); // OR vec.data() instead of ptr
    cv::namedWindow("reconstructed", cv::WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
    cv::imshow("reconstructed", restored);

    cv::waitKey(0);     

Extended explanation:

Mat is stored as a contiguous block of memory, if created using one of its constructors or when copied to another Mat using clone() or similar methods. To convert to an array or vector we need the address of its first block and array/vector length.

Pointer to internal memory block

Mat::data is a public uchar pointer to its memory.
But this memory may not be contiguous. As explained in other answers, we can check if mat.data is pointing to contiguous memory or not using mat.isContinous(). Unless you need extreme efficiency, you can obtain a continuous version of the mat using mat.clone() in O(N) time. (N = number of elements from all channels). However, when dealing images read by cv::imread() we will rarely ever encounter a non-continous mat.

Length of array/vector

Q: Should be row*cols*channels right?
A: Not always. It can be rows*cols*x*y*channels.
Q: Should be equal to mat.total()?
A: True for single channel mat. But not for multi-channel mat
Length of the array/vector is slightly tricky because of poor documentation of OpenCV. We have Mat::size public member which stores only the dimensions of single Mat without channels. For RGB image, Mat.size = [rows, cols] and not [rows, cols, channels]. Mat.total() returns total elements in a single channel of the mat which is equal to product of values in mat.size. For RGB image, total() = rows*cols. Thus, for any general Mat, length of continuous memory block would be mat.total()*mat.channels().

Reconstructing Mat from array/vector

Apart from array/vector we also need the original Mat's mat.size [array like] and mat.type() [int]. Then using one of the constructors that take data's pointer, we can obtain original Mat. The optional step argument is not required because our data pointer points to continuous memory. I used this method to pass Mat as Uint8Array between nodejs and C++. This avoided writing C++ bindings for cv::Mat with node-addon-api.

How to show alert message in mvc 4 controller?

You cannot show an alert from a controller. There is one way communication from the client to the server.The server can therefore not tell the client to do anything. The client requests and the server gives a response.

You therefore need to use javascript when the response returns to show a messagebox of some sort.

OR

using jquery on the button that calls the controller action

<script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
  $("#submitButton").on("click",function()
  {
   alert('Your Message');
  });

});

How to debug "ImagePullBackOff"?

I forgot to push the image tagged 1.0.8 to the ECR (AWS images hub)... If you are using Helm and upgrade by:

helm upgrade minta-user ./src/services/user/helm-chart

make sure that image tag inside values.yaml is pushed (to ECR or Docker Hub, etc) for example: (this is my helm-chart/values.yaml)

replicaCount: 1

image:
   repository:dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/minta-user
   tag: 1.0.8

you need to make sure that the image:1.0.8 is pushed!

How to create a file with a given size in Linux?

Just to follow up Tom's post, you can use dd to create sparse files as well:

dd if=/dev/zero of=the_file bs=1 count=0 seek=12345

This will create a file with a "hole" in it on most unixes - the data won't actually be written to disk, or take up any space until something other than zero is written into it.

MySQL Foreign Key Error 1005 errno 150 primary key as foreign key

When a there are 2 columns for primary keys they make up a composite primary key therefore you have to make sure that in the table that is being referenced there are also 2 columns of the same data type.

I want to exception handle 'list index out of range.'

A ternary will suffice. change:

gotdata = dlist[1]

to

gotdata = dlist[1] if len(dlist) > 1 else 'null'

this is a shorter way of expressing

if len(dlist) > 1:
    gotdata = dlist[1]
else: 
    gotdata = 'null'

UTF-8: General? Bin? Unicode?

Really, I tested saving values like 'é' and 'e' in column with unique index and they cause duplicate error on both 'utf8_unicode_ci' and 'utf8_general_ci'. You can save them only in 'utf8_bin' collated column.

And mysql docs (in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/charset-applications.html) suggest into its examples set 'utf8_general_ci' collation.

What is the difference between the 'COPY' and 'ADD' commands in a Dockerfile?

Since Docker 17.05 COPY is used with the --from flag in multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from previous build stages to the current build stage.

from the documentation

Optionally COPY accepts a flag --from=<name|index> that can be used to set the source location to a previous build stage (created with FROM .. AS ) that will be used instead of a build context sent by the user.

How to create a file in Android?

I used the following code to create a temporary file for writing bytes. And its working fine.

     fo.write(data1);
     fo.close();
     System.out.println("file created: "+file);
}

file.delete();
System.out.println("file deleted");

Deserialize json object into dynamic object using Json.net

If you just deserialize to dynamic you will get a JObject back. You can get what you want by using an ExpandoObject.

How to retrieve element value of XML using Java?

There are two general ways of doing that. You will either create a Domain Object Model of that XML file, take a look at this

and the second choice is using event driven parsing, which is an alternative to DOM xml representation. Imho you can find the best overall comparison of these two basic techniques here. Of course there are much more to know about processing xml, for instance if you are given XML schema definition (XSD), you could use JAXB.

List all of the possible goals in Maven 2?

A Build Lifecycle is Made Up of Phases

Each of these build lifecycles is defined by a different list of build phases, wherein a build phase represents a stage in the lifecycle.

For example, the default lifecycle comprises of the following phases (for a complete list of the lifecycle phases, refer to the Lifecycle Reference):

  • validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
  • compile - compile the source code of the project
  • test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed
  • package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR. verify - run any checks on results of integration tests to ensure quality criteria are met
  • install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
  • deploy - done in the build environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

These lifecycle phases (plus the other lifecycle phases not shown here) are executed sequentially to complete the default lifecycle. Given the lifecycle phases above, this means that when the default lifecycle is used, Maven will first validate the project, then will try to compile the sources, run those against the tests, package the binaries (e.g. jar), run integration tests against that package, verify the integration tests, install the verified package to the local repository, then deploy the installed package to a remote repository.

SQL server ignore case in a where expression

I found another solution elsewhere; that is, to use

upper(@yourString)

but everyone here is saying that, in SQL Server, it doesn't matter because it's ignoring case anyway? I'm pretty sure our database is case-sensitive.

Convert pandas data frame to series

It's not smart enough to realize it's still a "vector" in math terms.

Say rather that it's smart enough to recognize a difference in dimensionality. :-)

I think the simplest thing you can do is select that row positionally using iloc, which gives you a Series with the columns as the new index and the values as the values:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame([list(range(5))], columns=["a{}".format(i) for i in range(5)])
>>> df
   a0  a1  a2  a3  a4
0   0   1   2   3   4
>>> df.iloc[0]
a0    0
a1    1
a2    2
a3    3
a4    4
Name: 0, dtype: int64
>>> type(_)
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

Getting the current date in SQL Server?

As you are using SQL Server 2008, go with Martin's answer.

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)

Maintaining Session through Angular.js

Here is a kind of snippet for you:

app.factory('Session', function($http) {
  var Session = {
    data: {},
    saveSession: function() { /* save session data to db */ },
    updateSession: function() { 
      /* load data from db */
      $http.get('session.json').then(function(r) { return Session.data = r.data;});
    }
  };
  Session.updateSession();
  return Session; 
});

Here is Plunker example how you can use that: http://plnkr.co/edit/Fg3uF4ukl5p88Z0AeQqU?p=preview

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

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()) ;

These are deprecated use the following..

 // Connects to your Database
            $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "");

and to insert data use the following

 $sql = "INSERT INTO  Table-Name (Column-Name)
VALUES ('$filename')" ;

Link to reload current page

<a href="/">Clicking me refreshes the page</a>

<a href="?">Click Me To Reload the page</a>

Testing whether a value is odd or even

We just need one line of code for this!

Here a newer and alternative way to do this, using the new ES6 syntax for JS functions, and the one-line syntax for the if-else statement call:

const isEven = num => ((num % 2) == 0) ? true : false;

alert(isEven(8));  //true
alert(isEven(9));  //false
alert(isEven(-8)); //true

How to replace a set of tokens in a Java String?

I really don't think you need to use a templating engine or anything like that for this. You can use the String.format method, like so:

String template = "Hello %s Please find attached %s which is due on %s";

String message = String.format(template, name, invoiceNumber, dueDate);

Filter object properties by key in ES6

The cleanest way you can find is with Lodash#pick

const _ = require('lodash');

const allowed = ['item1', 'item3'];

const obj = {
  item1: { key: 'sdfd', value:'sdfd' },
  item2: { key: 'sdfd', value:'sdfd' },
  item3: { key: 'sdfd', value:'sdfd' }
}

const filteredObj = _.pick(obj, allowed)

Display number with leading zeros

Use a format string - http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html

For example:

python -c 'print "%(num)02d" % {"num":5}'

Converting List<String> to String[] in Java

List.toArray() necessarily returns an array of Object. To get an array of String, you need to use the casting syntax:

String[] strarray = strlist.toArray(new String[0]);

See the javadoc for java.util.List for more.

How can I use nohup to run process as a background process in linux?

In general, I use nohup CMD & to run a nohup background process. However, when the command is in a form that nohup won't accept then I run it through bash -c "...".

For example:

nohup bash -c "(time ./script arg1 arg2 > script.out) &> time_n_err.out" &

stdout from the script gets written to script.out, while stderr and the output of time goes into time_n_err.out.

So, in your case:

nohup bash -c "(time bash executeScript 1 input fileOutput > scrOutput) &> timeUse.txt" &

Converting NumPy array into Python List structure?

tolist() works fine even if encountered a nested array, say a pandas DataFrame;

my_list = [0,1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,0]
my_dt = pd.DataFrame(my_list)
new_list = [i[0] for i in my_dt.values.tolist()]

print(type(my_list),type(my_dt),type(new_list))

How to get just one file from another branch

git checkout master               # first get back to master
git checkout experiment -- app.js # then copy the version of app.js 
                                  # from branch "experiment"

See also git how to undo changes of one file?


Update August 2019, Git 2.23

With the new git switch and git restore commands, that would be:

git switch master
git restore --source experiment -- app.js

By default, only the working tree is restored.
If you want to update the index as well (meaning restore the file content, and add it to the index in one command):

git restore --source experiment --staged --worktree -- app.js
# shorter:
git restore -s experiment -SW -- app.js

As Jakub Narebski mentions in the comments:

git show experiment:path/to/app.js > path/to/app.js

works too, except that, as detailed in the SO question "How to retrieve a single file from specific revision in Git?", you need to use the full path from the root directory of the repo.
Hence the path/to/app.js used by Jakub in his example.

As Frosty mentions in the comment:

you will only get the most recent state of app.js

But, for git checkout or git show, you can actually reference any revision you want, as illustrated in the SO question "git checkout revision of a file in git gui":

$ git show $REVISION:$FILENAME
$ git checkout $REVISION -- $FILENAME

would be the same is $FILENAME is a full path of a versioned file.

$REVISION can be as shown in git rev-parse:

experiment@{yesterday}:app.js # app.js as it was yesterday 
experiment^:app.js            # app.js on the first commit parent
experiment@{2}:app.js         # app.js two commits ago

and so on.

schmijos adds in the comments:

you also can do this from a stash:

git checkout stash -- app.js

This is very useful if you're working on two branches and don't want to commit.

Passing a String by Reference in Java?

SQL Server - stop or break execution of a SQL script

If you are simply executing a script in Management Studio, and want to stop execution or rollback transaction (if used) on first error, then the best way I reckon is to use try catch block (SQL 2005 onward). This works well in Management studio if you are executing a script file. Stored proc can always use this as well.

Add Legend to Seaborn point plot

I would suggest not to use seaborn pointplot for plotting. This makes things unnecessarily complicated.
Instead use matplotlib plot_date. This allows to set labels to the plots and have them automatically put into a legend with ax.legend().

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np

date = pd.date_range("2017-03", freq="M", periods=15)
count = np.random.rand(15,4)
df1 = pd.DataFrame({"date":date, "count" : count[:,0]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({"date":date, "count" : count[:,1]+0.7})
df3 = pd.DataFrame({"date":date, "count" : count[:,2]+2})

f, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
x_col='date'
y_col = 'count'

ax.plot_date(df1.date, df1["count"], color="blue", label="A", linestyle="-")
ax.plot_date(df2.date, df2["count"], color="red", label="B", linestyle="-")
ax.plot_date(df3.date, df3["count"], color="green", label="C", linestyle="-")

ax.legend()

plt.gcf().autofmt_xdate()
plt.show()

enter image description here


In case one is still interested in obtaining the legend for pointplots, here a way to go:

sns.pointplot(ax=ax,x=x_col,y=y_col,data=df1,color='blue')
sns.pointplot(ax=ax,x=x_col,y=y_col,data=df2,color='green')
sns.pointplot(ax=ax,x=x_col,y=y_col,data=df3,color='red')

ax.legend(handles=ax.lines[::len(df1)+1], labels=["A","B","C"])

ax.set_xticklabels([t.get_text().split("T")[0] for t in ax.get_xticklabels()])
plt.gcf().autofmt_xdate()

plt.show()

Parsing CSV files in C#, with header

Based on unlimit's post on How to properly split a CSV using C# split() function? :

string[] tokens = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(paramString, ",");

NOTE: this doesn't handle escaped / nested commas, etc., and therefore is only suitable for certain simple CSV lists.

Running conda with proxy

One mistake I was making was saving the file as a.condarc or b.condarc.

channels:
- defaults

show_channel_urls: True
allow_other_channels: True

Build an iOS app without owning a mac?

Short answer : theoretically YES, but this has to be a VERY GOOD friend of yours, but again, you might prefer to buy a used mac-mini

TLDR : You will need this Mac for a really long time, depending on your app requirements, your development skills, and your luck with Apple. For example:

  1. You might need some days to set up Xcode and the required SDKs and Libraries.
  2. It might take some time to get that Developer Account, sometimes you can wait too much even to get your request reviewed.
  3. When you submit your application for the first time, you will have to wait sometime, maybe up to several weeks, or even months, to get your app reviewed.
  4. Each time your app gets rejected, you will need to find and fix your issues (without much help from Apple, other that pointing out the guideline rule that you broke ), then re-submit your app for review, and wait again.
  5. Each time you try to apply a patch for your already deployed app, you will have to get your app reviewed and there is a chance that your previously legit app, now breaks a new guideline, so you re-submit and wait

So, from my experience the development of an iOS app is a very lengthy procedure, without even considering the actual code-development time. Can you borrow a Mac for that long ?

How to conditional format based on multiple specific text in Excel

Suppose your "Don't Check" list is on Sheet2 in cells A1:A100, say, and your current client IDs are in Sheet1 in Column A.

What you would do is:

  1. Select the whole data table you want conditionally formatted in Sheet1
  2. Click Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a Formula to determine which cells to format
  3. In the formula bar, type in =ISNUMBER(MATCH($A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$100,0)) and select how you want those rows formatted

And that should do the trick.

What is pipe() function in Angular

The Pipes you are talking about in the starting description are different from the pipe you showed in the example.

In Angular(2|4|5) Pipes are used to format view as you said. I think you have a basic understanding of pipes in Angular, you can learn more about that from this link - Angular Pipe Doc

The pipe() you have shown in the example is the pipe() method of RxJS 5.5 (RxJS is the default for all Angular apps). In Angular5 all the RxJS operators can be imported using single import and they are now combined using the pipe method.

tap() - RxJS tap operator will look at the Observable value and do something with that value. In other words, after a successful API request, the tap() operator will do any function you want it to perform with the response. In the example, it will just log that string.

catchError() - catchError does exactly the same thing but with error response. If you want to throw an error or want to call some function if you get an error, you can do it here. In the example, it will call handleError() and inside that, it will just log that string.

Which MySQL data type to use for storing boolean values

If you use the BOOLEAN type, this is aliased to TINYINT(1). This is best if you want to use standardised SQL and don't mind that the field could contain an out of range value (basically anything that isn't 0 will be 'true').

ENUM('False', 'True') will let you use the strings in your SQL, and MySQL will store the field internally as an integer where 'False'=0 and 'True'=1 based on the order the Enum is specified.

In MySQL 5+ you can use a BIT(1) field to indicate a 1-bit numeric type. I don't believe this actually uses any less space in the storage but again allows you to constrain the possible values to 1 or 0.

All of the above will use approximately the same amount of storage, so it's best to pick the one you find easiest to work with.

command/usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1- code sign error

Just reset your development and distribution certificate and clean your project. After that , Reboot also worked for me. Interestingly it seems to be an issue with allowing Xcode access to the certificates. When i tried the archive again, i received 2 popups asking me if i wanted to allow Xcode to access my keychain. After this it worked fine.

Trigger css hover with JS

I know what you're trying to do, but why not simply do this:

$('div').addClass('hover');

The class is already defined in your CSS...

As for you original question, this has been asked before and it is not possible unfortunately. e.g. http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-triggering-css-pseudo-selectors-like-hover

However, your desired functionality may be possible if your Stylesheet is defined in Javascript. see: http://www.4pmp.com/2009/11/dynamic-css-pseudo-class-styles-with-jquery/

Hope this helps!

for(var i in linkList){
 linkList[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank');

Root password inside a Docker container

I'd suggest a better solution is to give the --add-host NAME:IP argument to docker run when starting the container. That will update the /etc/hosts/ file without any need to become root.

Otherwise, you can override the the USER setting by giving the -u USER flag to docker run. I would advise against this however, as you shouldn't really be changing things in a running container. Instead, make your changes in a Dockerfile and build a new image.

Get element from within an iFrame

Do not forget to access iframe after it is loaded. Old but reliable way without jQuery:

   var iframe = document.getElementById("iframe");
   var innerDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
   console.log(innerDoc.body);
}

Edit: added prepending Slash to 'subj' option for Ubuntu.

How to upload images into MySQL database using PHP code

Just few more details:

  • Add mysql field

`image` blob

  • Get data from image

$image = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));

  • Insert image data into db

$sql = "INSERT INTO `product_images` (`id`, `image`) VALUES ('1', '{$image}')";

  • Show image to the web

<img src="data:image/png;base64,'.base64_encode($row['image']).'">

  • End

iFrame src change event detection?

Note: The snippet would only work if the iframe is with the same origin.

Other answers proposed the load event, but it fires after the new page in the iframe is loaded. You might need to be notified immediately after the URL changes, not after the new page is loaded.

Here's a plain JavaScript solution:

function iframeURLChange(iframe, callback) {_x000D_
    var unloadHandler = function () {_x000D_
        // Timeout needed because the URL changes immediately after_x000D_
        // the `unload` event is dispatched._x000D_
        setTimeout(function () {_x000D_
            callback(iframe.contentWindow.location.href);_x000D_
        }, 0);_x000D_
    };_x000D_
_x000D_
    function attachUnload() {_x000D_
        // Remove the unloadHandler in case it was already attached._x000D_
        // Otherwise, the change will be dispatched twice._x000D_
        iframe.contentWindow.removeEventListener("unload", unloadHandler);_x000D_
        iframe.contentWindow.addEventListener("unload", unloadHandler);_x000D_

This will successfully track the src attribute changes, as well as any URL changes made from within the iframe itself.

Tested in all modern browsers.

I made a gist with this code as well. You can check my other answer too. It goes a bit in-depth into how this works.

TypeScript, Looping through a dictionary

There is one caveat to the key/value loop that Ian mentioned. If it is possible that the Objects may have attributes attached to their Prototype, and when you use the in operator, these attributes will be included. So you will want to make sure that the key is an attribute of your instance, and not of the prototype. Older IEs are known for having indexof(v) show up as a key.

for (const key in myDictionary) {
    if (myDictionary.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        let value = myDictionary[key];
    }
}

How to verify a method is called two times with mockito verify()

Using the appropriate VerificationMode:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.atLeast;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.verify;

verify(mockObject, atLeast(2)).someMethod("was called at least twice");
verify(mockObject, times(3)).someMethod("was called exactly three times");

Algorithm to detect overlapping periods

Simple check to see if two time periods overlap:

bool overlap = a.start < b.end && b.start < a.end;

or in your code:

bool overlap = tStartA < tEndB && tStartB < tEndA;

(Use <= instead of < if you change your mind about wanting to say that two periods that just touch each other overlap.)

phpMyAdmin ERROR: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'pma'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Add this line to the file xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc:

Here, my port is 3307, you can change it to yours.

Want custom title / image / description in facebook share link from a flash app

I had this same problem a week ago.

First of all I noticed your URL has an ampersand preceding the parameter string, but it probably needs to have a question mark instead to begin the parameter string, followed by an ampersand between each additional parameter.

Now, you do need to escape your URL but also double-escape the URL parameters (title or other content you need to provide content in the Share) you are passing to the URL, as follows:

var myParams = 't=' + escape('Some title here.') + '&id=' + escape('some content ID or any other value I want to load');
var fooBar = 'http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=' + escape('http://foobar.com/superDuperSharingPage.php?' + myParams);

Now, you need to create the above-linked superDuperSharingPage.php, which should provide the dynamic title, description, and image content you desire. Something like this should suffice:

<?php
    // get our URL query parameters
    $title = $_GET['t'];
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    // maybe we want to load some content with the id I'll pretend we loaded a
    // description from some database in the sky which is magically arranged thusly:
    $desciption = $databaseInTheSky[$id]['description'];
?>

Fixing Xcode 9 issue: "iPhone is busy: Preparing debugger support for iPhone"

For me it Worked after following the below steps

Step-1 Go to Devices and Simulator

enter image description here

Step-2 Deselect Show as run destination and Connect via network Options

enter image description here

Wait for Few seconds to Load the Xcode, If you want you can restart Xcode also.

Step-3 Follow the same steps and got to Devices and Simulators

Tick back both the options and it will be normal to install your app back.

Open soft keyboard programmatically

Put that in onResume method:

findViewById(R.id.root_view_of_your_activity_layout).post(
new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager =  (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getApplicationWindowToken(),     InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
        yourEditText.requestFocus();
    }
});

the runnable is needed because when the OS fires the onResume method you can't be sure that all the views where draw, so the post method called from your root layout makes it wait till every view is ready.

Git - remote: Repository not found

So your url currently looks like this below

https://github.com/RevanthM/Log_Monitoring

It needs to look like this

https://[email protected]/RevanthM/Log_Monitoring

The difference is at the beginning of the url i added my github username followed by a @ symbol.

Unable to create Genymotion Virtual Device

I just ran into this problem too, so just in case anyone needs it: The reason why it needs admin privileges is probably because of your settings on where it store the virtual device.. Go to Settings - Virtual Box - and change your virtual devices storage area. I got mine set to something like \Program Files\Genymotion, that's why it needs Admin privileges. I only blanked the field, clicked ok, and it got set to the default which is in my home directory.. After that no need to run as admin anymore..

JavaScript string encryption and decryption?

you can use those function it's so easy the First one for encryption so you just call the function and send the text you wanna encrypt it and take the result from encryptWithAES function and send it to decrypt Function like this:

const CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");


   //The Function Below To Encrypt Text
   const encryptWithAES = (text) => {
      const passphrase = "My Secret Passphrase";
      return CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(text, passphrase).toString();
    };
    //The Function Below To Decrypt Text
    const decryptWithAES = (ciphertext) => {
      const passphrase = "My Secret Passphrase";
      const bytes = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext, passphrase);
      const originalText = bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8);
      return originalText;
    };

  let encryptText = encryptWithAES("YAZAN"); 
  //EncryptedText==>  //U2FsdGVkX19GgWeS66m0xxRUVxfpI60uVkWRedyU15I= 

  let decryptText = decryptWithAES(encryptText);
  //decryptText==>  //YAZAN 

Get Absolute Position of element within the window in wpf

Add this method to a static class:

 public static Rect GetAbsolutePlacement(this FrameworkElement element, bool relativeToScreen = false)
    {
        var absolutePos = element.PointToScreen(new System.Windows.Point(0, 0));
        if (relativeToScreen)
        {
            return new Rect(absolutePos.X, absolutePos.Y, element.ActualWidth, element.ActualHeight);
        }
        var posMW = Application.Current.MainWindow.PointToScreen(new System.Windows.Point(0, 0));
        absolutePos = new System.Windows.Point(absolutePos.X - posMW.X, absolutePos.Y - posMW.Y);
        return new Rect(absolutePos.X, absolutePos.Y, element.ActualWidth, element.ActualHeight);
    }

Set relativeToScreen paramater to true for placement from top left corner of whole screen or to false for placement from top left corner of application window.

How to get the name of a class without the package?

Convert String to Float in Swift

Because in some parts of the world, for example, a comma is used instead of a decimal. It is best to create a NSNumberFormatter to convert a string to float.

let numberFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
numberFormatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterStyle.DecimalStyle
let number = numberFormatter.numberFromString(self.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(Wage.text))

How do I update a Linq to SQL dbml file?

There is a nuance to updating tables then updating the DBML... Foreign key relationships are not immediately always brought over if changes are made to existing tables. The work around is to do a build of the project and then re-add the tables again. I reported this to MS and its being fixed for VS2010.

DBML display does not show new foreign key constraints


Note that the instructions given in the main answer are not clear. To update the table

  1. Open up the dbml design surface
  2. Select all tables with Right->Click->Select All or CTRLa
  3. CTRLx (Cut)
  4. CTRLv (Paste)
  5. Save and rebuild solution.

What is the purpose of shuffling and sorting phase in the reducer in Map Reduce Programming?

Let's revisit key phases of Mapreduce program.

The map phase is done by mappers. Mappers run on unsorted input key/values pairs. Each mapper emits zero, one, or multiple output key/value pairs for each input key/value pairs.

The combine phase is done by combiners. The combiner should combine key/value pairs with the same key. Each combiner may run zero, once, or multiple times.

The shuffle and sort phase is done by the framework. Data from all mappers are grouped by the key, split among reducers and sorted by the key. Each reducer obtains all values associated with the same key. The programmer may supply custom compare functions for sorting and a partitioner for data split.

The partitioner decides which reducer will get a particular key value pair.

The reducer obtains sorted key/[values list] pairs, sorted by the key. The value list contains all values with the same key produced by mappers. Each reducer emits zero, one or multiple output key/value pairs for each input key/value pair.

How can I get Apache gzip compression to work?

Your .htaccess should run just fine; it depends on four different Apache modules (one per each <IfModule> directive). I guess one of the following:

  • your Apache server doesn't have either mod_filter, mod_deflate, mod_headers and/or mod_setenvif modules installed and running. If you can access the server config, please check /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (and the related Apache config files); otherwise, you can see which modules are loaded via phpinfo(), under the apache2handler section (see attached image); (EDIT) OR, you can open a terminal window and issue the command sudo apachectl -M that will list the loaded modules;

  • if you get an http 500 internal server error, your server may not be allowed to use .htaccess files;

  • you are trying to load a PHP file that sends its own headers (overwriting Apache'sheaders), thus "confusing" the browser.

In any case, you should double-check your server config and error logs to see what's going wrong. Just to be sure, try to use the fastest way suggested here in Apache docs:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml

and then try to load a large textfile (preferably, clean your cache first).

(EDIT) If the needed modules are there (in the Apache modules dir) but aren't loaded, just edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add a LoadModule directive for each one of them.

If the needed modules aren't there (neither loaded, nor in the Apache modules directory), I fear that the only option is reinstalling Apache (a complete version).

How can I use jQuery to make an input readonly?

The setReadOnly(state) is very useful for forms, we can set any field to setReadOnly(state) directly or from various condition.But I prefer to use readOnly for setting opacity to the selector otherwise the attr='disabled' also worked like the same way.

readOnly examples:

$('input').setReadOnly(true);

or through the various codition like

var same = this.checked;
$('input').setReadOnly(same);

here we are using the state boolean value to set and remove readonly attribute from the input depending on a checkbox click.

Add and remove attribute with jquery

If you want to do this, you need to save it in a variable first. So you don't need to use id to query this element every time.

var el = $("#page_navigation1");

$("#add").click(function(){
  el.attr("id","page_navigation1");
});     

$("#remove").click(function(){
  el.removeAttr("id");
});     

PowerShell equivalent to grep -f

I had the same issue trying to find text in files with powershell. I used the following - to stay as close to the Linux environment as possible.

Hopefully this helps somebody:

PowerShell:

PS) new-alias grep findstr
PS) ls -r *.txt | cat | grep "some random string"

Explanation:

ls       - lists all files
-r       - recursively (in all files and folders and subfolders)
*.txt    - only .txt files
|        - pipe the (ls) results to next command (cat)
cat      - show contents of files comming from (ls)
|        - pipe the (cat) results to next command (grep)
grep     - search contents from (cat) for "some random string" (alias to findstr)

Yes, this works as well:

PS) ls -r *.txt | cat | findstr "some random string"

How to map atan2() to degrees 0-360

theta_rad = Math.Atan2(y,x);
if(theta_rad < 0)
  theta_rad = theta_rad + 2 * Math.PI;    //if neg., add 2 PI to it
theta_deg = (theta_rad/M_PI*180) ;        //convert from radian to degree

//or
theta_rad = Math.Atan2(y,x);
theta_rad = (theta_rad < 0) ? theta_rad + 2 * Math.PI : theta_rad;
theta_deg = (theta_rad/M_PI*180) ;

-1 deg becomes (-1 + 360) = 359 deg
-179 deg becomes (-179 + 360) = 181 deg

MySQL "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS" -> Error 1050

I had a similar Problem as @CraigWalker on debian: My database was in a state where a DROP TABLE failed because it couldn't find the table, but a CREATE TABLE also failed because MySQL thought the table still existed. So the broken table still existed somewhere although it wasn't there when I looked in phpmyadmin.

I created this state by just copying the whole folder that contained a database with some MyISAM and some InnoDB tables

cp -a /var/lib/mysql/sometable /var/lib/mysql/test

(this is not recommended!)

All InnoDB tables where not visible in the new database test in phpmyadmin.

sudo mysqladmin flush-tables didn't help either.

My solution: I had to delete the new test database with drop database test and copy it with mysqldump instead:

mysqldump somedatabase -u username -p -r export.sql
mysql test -u username -p < export.sql

Java HTTP Client Request with defined timeout

It looks like you are using the HttpClient API, which I know nothing about, but you could write something similar to this using core Java.

try {

   HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
   con.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
   con.setConnectTimeout(5000); //set timeout to 5 seconds
   return (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);

} catch (java.net.SocketTimeoutException e) {
   return false;
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
   return false;
}

Retrieve WordPress root directory path?

Looking at the bottom of your wp-config.php file in the wordpress root directory will let you find something like this:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

For an example file have a look here:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-config-sample.php

You can make use of this constant called ABSPATH in other places of your wordpress scripts and in most cases it should point to your wordpress root directory.

// plus 1 day
new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 1)

All examples return Unix timestamp, if you want to get Date object - just wrap it with another new Date(...)

How to fill background image of an UIView

Correct way to do in Swift 4, If your frame as screen size is correct then put anywhere otherwise, important to write this in viewDidLayoutSubviews because we can get actual frame in viewDidLayoutSubviews

   override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(view.frame.size)
        UIImage(named: "myImage")?.draw(in: self.view.bounds)
        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(patternImage: image!)
    }

Set QLineEdit to accept only numbers

The best is QSpinBox.

And for a double value use QDoubleSpinBox.

QSpinBox myInt;

myInt.setMaximum(5);
myInt.setSingleStep(1);// Will increment the current value with 1 (if you use up arrow key) (if you use down arrow key => -1)
myInt.setValue(2);// Default/begining value
myInt.value();// Get the current value
//connect(&myInt, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), this, SLOT(myValueChanged(int)));

Using global variables between files?

Hai Vu answer works great, just one comment:

In case you are using the global in other module and you want to set the global dynamically, pay attention to import the other modules after you set the global variables, for example:

# settings.py
def init(arg):
    global myList
    myList = []
    mylist.append(arg)


# subfile.py
import settings

def print():
    settings.myList[0]


# main.py
import settings
settings.init("1st")     # global init before used in other imported modules
                         # Or else they will be undefined

import subfile    
subfile.print()          # global usage

How to stop a setTimeout loop?

I know this is an old question, I'd like to post my approach anyway. This way you don't have to handle the 0 trick that T. J. Crowder expained.

var keepGoing = true;

function myLoop() {
    // ... Do something ...

    if(keepGoing) {
        setTimeout(myLoop, 1000);
    }
}

function startLoop() {
    keepGoing = true;
    myLoop();
}

function stopLoop() {
    keepGoing = false;
}

Does Hibernate create tables in the database automatically

Hibernate can create a table, hibernate sequence and tables used for many-to-many mapping on your behalf but you have to explicitly configure it by calling setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create") of the Configuration object. By Default, it just validates the schema with DB and fails if anything not already exists by giving error "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist".

If you do above configuration then order of performed actions will be:- a) Drop all tables and sequence and do not give an error if they are not already present. b) create all table and sequence c) alter tables with constraints d) insert data into it.

How do I resolve git saying "Commit your changes or stash them before you can merge"?

You can't merge with local modifications. Git protects you from losing potentially important changes.

You have three options:

  • Commit the change using

    git commit -m "My message"
    
  • Stash it.

    Stashing acts as a stack, where you can push changes, and you pop them in reverse order.

    To stash, type

    git stash
    

    Do the merge, and then pull the stash:

    git stash pop
    
  • Discard the local changes

    using git reset --hard
    or git checkout -t -f remote/branch

    Or: Discard local changes for a specific file

    using git checkout filename

Paging with Oracle

Just want to summarize the answers and comments. There are a number of ways doing a pagination.

Prior to oracle 12c there were no OFFSET/FETCH functionality, so take a look at whitepaper as the @jasonk suggested. It's the most complete article I found about different methods with detailed explanation of advantages and disadvantages. It would take a significant amount of time to copy-paste them here, so I won't do it.

There is also a good article from jooq creators explaining some common caveats with oracle and other databases pagination. jooq's blogpost

Good news, since oracle 12c we have a new OFFSET/FETCH functionality. OracleMagazine 12c new features. Please refer to "Top-N Queries and Pagination"

You may check your oracle version by issuing the following statement

SELECT * FROM V$VERSION

SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'

What I did clicked on view source in chrome and there I found this error

Notice: Undefined variable: string in D:\Projects\demo\ge.php on line 66

The issue was this snippet of code,

$string= ''; <---- this should be declared outside the loop

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {
        $string .= '{ id:'.$row['menu_id'].', pId:'.$row['parent_id'].', name:"'.$row['menu_name'].'"},';
    }

which fixed the problem.

What is the command to truncate a SQL Server log file?

Another option altogether is to detach the database via Management Studio. Then simply delete the log file, or rename it and delete later.

Back in Management Studio attach the database again. In the attach window remove the log file from list of files.

The DB attaches and creates a new empty log file. After you check everything is all right, you can delete the renamed log file.

You probably ought not use this for production databases.

Show Youtube video source into HTML5 video tag?

I have created a realtively small (4.89 KB) javascript library for this exact functionality.

Found on my GitHub here: https://github.com/thelevicole/youtube-to-html5-loader/

It's as simple as:

<video data-yt2html5="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScMzIvxBSi4"></video>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thelevicole/[email protected]/dist/YouTubeToHtml5.js"></script>
<script>new YouTubeToHtml5();</script>

Working example here: https://jsfiddle.net/thelevicole/5g6dbpx3/1/

What the library does is extract the video ID from the data attribute and makes a request to the https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=. It decodes the response which includes streaming information we can use to add a source to the <video> tag.

You can extract the html string from the PartialViewResult object, similar to the answer to this thread:

Render a view as a string

PartialViewResult and ViewResult both derive from ViewResultBase, so the same method should work on both.

Using the code from the thread above, you would be able to use:

public ActionResult ReturnSpecialJsonIfInvalid(AwesomenessModel model)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        if(Request.IsAjaxRequest())
            return PartialView("NotEvil", model);
        return View(model)
    }
    if(Request.IsAjaxRequest())
    {
        return Json(new { error = true, message = RenderViewToString(PartialView("Evil", model))});
    }
    return View(model);
}

Use FontAwesome or Glyphicons with css :before

<ul class="icons-ul">
<li><i class="icon-play-sign"></i> <a>option</a></li>
<li><i class="icon-play-sign"></i> <a>option</a></li>
<li><i class="icon-play-sign"></i> <a>option</a></li>
<li><i class="icon-play-sign"></i> <a>option</a></li>
<li><i class="icon-play-sign"></i> <a>option</a></li>
</ul>

All the font awesome icons comes default with Bootstrap.

IIS - 401.3 - Unauthorized

Here is what worked for me.

  1. Set the app pool identity to an account that can be assigned permissions to a folder.
  2. Ensure the source directory and all related files have been granted read rights to the files to the account assigned to the app pool identity property
  3. In IIS, at the server root node, set anonymous user to inherit from app pool identity. (This was the part I struggled with)

To set the server anonymous to inherit from the app pool identity do the following..

  • Open IIS Manager (inetmgr)
  • In the left-hand pane select the root node (server host name)
  • In the middle pane open the 'Authentication' applet
  • Highlight 'Anonymous Authentication'
  • In the right-hand pane select 'Edit...' (a dialog box should open)
  • select 'Application pool identity'

Show/Hide Div on Scroll

$(window).scroll(function () {
  var Bottom = $(window).height() + $(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height();
if(Bottom )
{
$('#div').hide();
}
});

Hide div if screen is smaller than a certain width

The problem with your code seems to be the elseif-statement which should be else if (Notice the space).

I rewrote and simplyfied the code to this:

$(document).ready(function () {

    if (screen.width < 1024) {
        $(".yourClass").hide();
    }
    else {

        $(".yourClass").show();
    }

});

T-SQL - function with default parameters

With user defined functions, you have to declare every parameter, even if they have a default value.

The following would execute successfully:

IF dbo.CheckIfSFExists( 23, default ) = 0
    SET @retValue = 'bla bla bla;
