Android: How to detect double-tap?

Thread + Interface = DoubleTapListener, AnyTap listener etc

In this example, I have implemented the DoubleTap Listener with a Thread. You can add my listener with any View object as you do with any ClickListener. Using this approach you can easily pull off any kind of click listener.

yourButton.setOnClickListener(new DoubleTapListener(this));

1) My Listrener class

public class DoubleTapListener  implements View.OnClickListener{

   private boolean isRunning= false;
   private int resetInTime =500;
   private int counter=0;
   private DoubleTapCallback listener;

   public DoubleTapListener(Context context){
       listener = (DoubleTapCallback)context;
       Log.d("Double Tap","New");
   }

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {

       if(isRunning){
          if(counter==1)
              listener.onDoubleClick(v);
       }

       counter++;

       if(!isRunning){
          isRunning=true;
          new Thread(new Runnable() {
             @Override
             public void run() {
                 try {
                    Thread.sleep(resetInTime);
                    isRunning = false;
                    counter=0;
                 } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                 }
             }
           }).start();
       }
   }
}

2) Listener Callback

public interface DoubleTapCallback {

      public void onDoubleClick(View v);

}

3) Implement in your Activity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DoubleTapCallback{

private Button button;
private int counter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    button   = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);      
    button.setOnClickListener(new DoubleTapListener(this));  // Set mt listener

}

@Override
public void onDoubleClick(View v) {
    counter++;
    textView.setText(counter+""); 
}

How to execute logic on Optional if not present?

First of all, your dao.find() should either return an Optional<Obj> or you will have to create one.

e.g.

Optional<Obj> = dao.find();

or you can do it yourself like:

Optional<Obj> = Optional.ofNullable(dao.find());

this one will return Optional<Obj> if present or Optional.empty() if not present.

So now let's get to the solution,

public Obj getObjectFromDB() {
   return Optional.ofNullable(dao.find()).flatMap(ob -> {
            ob.setAvailable(true);
            return Optional.of(ob);    
        }).orElseGet(() -> {
            logger.fatal("Object not available");
            return null;
        });
    }

This is the one liner you're looking for :)

OpenCV & Python - Image too big to display

In opencv, cv.namedWindow() just creates a window object as you determine, but not resizing the original image. You can use cv2.resize(img, resolution) to solve the problem.

Here's what it displays, a 740 * 411 resolution image. The original image

image = cv2.imread("740*411.jpg")
cv2.imshow("image", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Here, it displays a 100 * 200 resolution image after resizing. Remember the resolution parameter use column first then is row.

Image after resizing

image = cv2.imread("740*411.jpg")
image = cv2.resize(image, (200, 100))
cv2.imshow("image", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

How to resolve "Could not find schema information for the element/attribute <xxx>"?

An XSD is included with EntLib 5, and is installed in the Visual Studio schema directory. In my case, it could be found at:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas\EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.xsd"

CONTEXT

  • Visual Studio 2010
  • Enterprise Library 5

STEPS TO REMOVE THE WARNINGS

  1. open app.config in your Visual Studio project
  2. right click in the XML Document editor, select "Properties"
  3. add the fully qualified path to the "EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.xsd"

ASIDE

It is worth repeating that these "Error List" "Messages" ("Could not find schema information for the element") are only visible when you open the app.config file. If you "Close All Documents" and compile... no messages will be reported.

How do I get bootstrap-datepicker to work with Bootstrap 3?

I also use Stefan Petre’s http://www.eyecon.ro/bootstrap-datepicker and it does not work with Bootstrap 3 without modification. Note that http://eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/ is a fork of Stefan Petre's code.

You have to change your markup (the sample markup will not work) to use the new CSS and form grid layout in Bootstrap 3. Also, you have to modify some CSS and JavaScript in the actual bootstrap-datepicker implementation.

Here is my solution:

<div class="form-group row">
  <div class="col-xs-8">
    <label class="control-label">My Label</label>
    <div class="input-group date" id="dp3" data-date="12-02-2012" data-date-format="mm-dd-yyyy">
      <input class="form-control" type="text" readonly="" value="12-02-2012">
      <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

CSS changes in datepicker.css on lines 176-177:

.input-group.date .input-group-addon i,
.input-group.date .input-group-addon i {

Javascript change in datepicker-bootstrap.js on line 34:

this.component = this.element.is('.date') ? this.element.find('.input-group-addon') : false;

UPDATE

Using the newer code from http://eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/ the changes are as follows:

CSS changes in datepicker.css on lines 446-447:

.input-group.date .input-group-addon i,
.input-group.date .input-group-addon i {

Javascript change in datepicker-bootstrap.js on line 46:

 this.component = this.element.is('.date') ? this.element.find('.input-group-addon, .btn') : false;

Finally, the JavaScript to enable the datepicker (with some options):

 $(".input-group.date").datepicker({ autoclose: true, todayHighlight: true });

Tested with Bootstrap 3.0 and JQuery 1.9.1. Note that this fork is better to use than the other as it is more feature rich, has localization support and auto-positions the datepicker based on the control position and window size, avoiding the picker going off the screen which was a problem with the older version.

FIX CSS <!--[if lt IE 8]> in IE

I found cascading it works great for multibrowser detection.

This code was used to change a fade to show/hide in ie 8 7 6.

$(document).ready(function(){
    if(jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version.substring(0, 1) == 8.0)
         { 
             $(".glow").hide();
            $('#shop').hover(function() {
        $(".glow").show();
    }, function() {
        $(".glow").hide();
    });
         }
         else
         { if(jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version.substring(0, 1) == 7.0)
         { 
             $(".glow").hide();
            $('#shop').hover(function() {
        $(".glow").show();
    }, function() {
        $(".glow").hide();
    });
         }
         else
         {if(jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version.substring(0, 1) == 6.0)
         { 
             $(".glow").hide();
            $('#shop').hover(function() {
        $(".glow").show();
    }, function() {
        $(".glow").hide();
    });
         }
         else
         { $('#shop').hover(function() {
        $(".glow").stop(true).fadeTo("400ms", 1);
    }, function() {
        $(".glow").stop(true).fadeTo("400ms", 0.2);});
         }
         }
         }
       });

AngularJS dynamic routing

Ok solved it.

Added the solution to GitHub - http://gregorypratt.github.com/AngularDynamicRouting

In my app.js routing config:

$routeProvider.when('/pages/:name', {
    templateUrl: '/pages/home.html', 
    controller: CMSController 
});

Then in my CMS controller:

function CMSController($scope, $route, $routeParams) {

    $route.current.templateUrl = '/pages/' + $routeParams.name + ".html";

    $.get($route.current.templateUrl, function (data) {
        $scope.$apply(function () {
            $('#views').html($compile(data)($scope));
        });
    });
    ...
}
CMSController.$inject = ['$scope', '$route', '$routeParams'];

With #views being my <div id="views" ng-view></div>

So now it works with standard routing and dynamic routing.

To test it I copied about.html called it portfolio.html, changed some of it's contents and entered /#/pages/portfolio into my browser and hey presto portfolio.html was displayed....

Updated Added $apply and $compile to the html so that dynamic content can be injected.

How can I get Git to follow symlinks?

I got tired of every solution in here either being outdated or requiring root, so I made an LD_PRELOAD-based solution (Linux only).

It hooks into Git's internals, overriding the 'is this a symlink?' function, allowing symlinks to be treated as their contents. By default, all links to outside the repo are inlined; see the link for details.

Accessing dictionary value by index in python

While you can do

value = d.values()[index]

It should be faster to do

value = next( v for i, v in enumerate(d.itervalues()) if i == index )

edit: I just timed it using a dict of len 100,000,000 checking for the index at the very end, and the 1st/values() version took 169 seconds whereas the 2nd/next() version took 32 seconds.

Also, note that this assumes that your index is not negative

How to remove html special chars?

You may want take a look at htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() here

$orig = "I'll \"walk\" the <b>dog</b> now";

$a = htmlentities($orig);

$b = html_entity_decode($a);

echo $a; // I'll &quot;walk&quot; the &lt;b&gt;dog&lt;/b&gt; now

echo $b; // I'll "walk" the <b>dog</b> now

Subset and ggplot2

Here 2 options for subsetting:

Using subset from base R:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(subset(dat,ID %in% c("P1" , "P3"))) + 
         geom_line(aes(Value1, Value2, group=ID, colour=ID))

Using subset the argument of geom_line(Note I am using plyr package to use the special . function).

library(plyr)
ggplot(data=dat)+ 
  geom_line(aes(Value1, Value2, group=ID, colour=ID),
                ,subset = .(ID %in% c("P1" , "P3")))

You can also use the complementary subsetting:

subset(dat,ID != "P2")

How do I create/edit a Manifest file?

The simplest way to create a manifest is:

Project Properties -> Security -> Click "enable ClickOnce security settings" 
(it will generate default manifest in your project Properties) -> then Click 
it again in order to uncheck that Checkbox -> open your app.maifest and edit 
it as you wish.

PHP array value passes to next row

Change the checkboxes so that the name includes the index inside the brackets:

<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox_veh" id="checkbox_addveh<?php echo $i; ?>" <?php if ($vehicle_feature[$i]->check) echo "checked"; ?> name="feature[<?php echo $i; ?>]" value="<?php echo $vehicle_feature[$i]->id; ?>"> 

The checkboxes that aren't checked are never submitted. The boxes that are checked get submitted, but they get numbered consecutively from 0, and won't have the same indexes as the other corresponding input fields.

How to create a Rectangle object in Java using g.fillRect method

You may try like this:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;

public class Rect1 extends Applet {

  public void paint (Graphics g) {
    g.drawRect (x, y, width, height);    //can use either of the two//
    g.fillRect (x, y, width, height);
    g.setColor(color);
  }

}

where x is x co-ordinate y is y cordinate color=the color you want to use eg Color.blue

if you want to use rectangle object you could do it like this:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;

public class Rect1 extends Applet {

  public void paint (Graphics g) {    
    Rectangle r = new Rectangle(arg,arg1,arg2,arg3);
    g.fillRect(r.getX(), r.getY(), r.getWidth(), r.getHeight());
    g.setColor(color);
  }
}       

Show data on mouseover of circle

You can pass in the data to be used in the mouseover like this- the mouseover event uses a function with your previously entered data as an argument (and the index as a second argument) so you don't need to use enter() a second time.

vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function(d,i) {
    d3.select(this).append("text")
        .text( d.x)
        .attr("x", x(d.x))
        .attr("y", y(d.y)); 
});

Python JSON encoding

So, simplejson.loads takes a json string and returns a data structure, which is why you are getting that type error there.

simplejson.dumps(data) comes back with

'[["apple", "cat"], ["banana", "dog"], ["pear", "fish"]]'

Which is a json array, which is what you want, since you gave this a python array.

If you want to get an "object" type syntax you would instead do

>>> data2 = {'apple':'cat', 'banana':'dog', 'pear':'fish'}
>>> simplejson.dumps(data2)
'{"pear": "fish", "apple": "cat", "banana": "dog"}'

which is javascript will come out as an object.

How to make div same height as parent (displayed as table-cell)

Setting the JVM via the command line on Windows

Yes - just explicitly provide the path to java.exe. For instance:

c:\Users\Jon\Test>"c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe" -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

c:\Users\Jon\Test>"c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\java.exe" -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

The easiest way to do this for a running command shell is something like:

set PATH=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin;%PATH%

For example, here's a complete session showing my default JVM, then the change to the path, then the new one:

c:\Users\Jon\Test>java -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

c:\Users\Jon\Test>set PATH=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin;%PATH%

c:\Users\Jon\Test>java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

This won't change programs which explicitly use JAVA_HOME though.

Note that if you get the wrong directory in the path - including one that doesn't exist - you won't get any errors, it will effectively just be ignored.

Writing Python lists to columns in csv

I didn't want to import anything other than csv, and all my lists have the same number of items. The top answer here seems to make the lists into one row each, instead of one column each. Thus I took the answers here and came up with this:

import csv
list1 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
list2 = ['f', 'g', 'i', 'j','k']
with open('C:/test/numbers.csv', 'wb+') as myfile:
    wr = csv.writer(myfile)
    wr.writerow(("list1", "list2"))
    rcount = 0
    for row in list1:
        wr.writerow((list1[rcount], list2[rcount]))
        rcount = rcount + 1
    myfile.close()

How can I determine the status of a job?

You could try using the system stored procedure sp_help_job. This returns information on the job, its steps, schedules and servers. For example

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_help_job @Job_name = 'Your Job Name'

SQL Books Online should contain lots of information about the records it returns.

For returning information on multiple jobs, you could try querying the following system tables which hold the various bits of information on the job

  • msdb.dbo.SysJobs
  • msdb.dbo.SysJobSteps
  • msdb.dbo.SysJobSchedules
  • msdb.dbo.SysJobServers
  • msdb.dbo.SysJobHistory

Their names are fairly self-explanatory (apart from SysJobServers which hold information on when the job last run and the outcome).

Again, information on the fields can be found at MSDN. For example, check out the page for SysJobs

How to get system time in Java without creating a new Date

You can use System.currentTimeMillis().

At least in OpenJDK, Date uses this under the covers.

The call in System is to a native JVM method, so we can't say for sure there's no allocation happening under the covers, though it seems unlikely here.

Check if a string is a valid date using DateTime.TryParse

If you want your dates to conform a particular format or formats then use DateTime.TryParseExact otherwise that is the default behaviour of DateTime.TryParse

DateTime.TryParse

This method tries to ignore unrecognized data, if possible, and fills in missing month, day, and year information with the current date. If s contains only a date and no time, this method assumes the time is 12:00 midnight. If s includes a date component with a two-digit year, it is converted to a year in the current culture's current calendar based on the value of the Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax property. Any leading, inner, or trailing white space character in s is ignored.

If you want to confirm against multiple formats then look at DateTime.TryParseExact Method (String, String[], IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles, DateTime) overload. Example from the same link:

string[] formats= {"M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss tt", "M/d/yyyy h:mm tt", 
                   "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss", "M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss", 
                   "M/d/yyyy hh:mm tt", "M/d/yyyy hh tt", 
                   "M/d/yyyy h:mm", "M/d/yyyy h:mm", 
                   "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm", "M/dd/yyyy hh:mm"};
string[] dateStrings = {"5/1/2009 6:32 PM", "05/01/2009 6:32:05 PM", 
                        "5/1/2009 6:32:00", "05/01/2009 06:32", 
                        "05/01/2009 06:32:00 PM", "05/01/2009 06:32:00"}; 
DateTime dateValue;

foreach (string dateString in dateStrings)
{
   if (DateTime.TryParseExact(dateString, formats, 
                              new CultureInfo("en-US"), 
                              DateTimeStyles.None, 
                              out dateValue))
      Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", dateString, dateValue);
   else
      Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '{0}' to a date.", dateString);
}
// The example displays the following output: 
//       Converted '5/1/2009 6:32 PM' to 5/1/2009 6:32:00 PM. 
//       Converted '05/01/2009 6:32:05 PM' to 5/1/2009 6:32:05 PM. 
//       Converted '5/1/2009 6:32:00' to 5/1/2009 6:32:00 AM. 
//       Converted '05/01/2009 06:32' to 5/1/2009 6:32:00 AM. 
//       Converted '05/01/2009 06:32:00 PM' to 5/1/2009 6:32:00 PM. 
//       Converted '05/01/2009 06:32:00' to 5/1/2009 6:32:00 AM.

org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class

Just leaving this here for future visitors:

In my case the /WEB-INF/classes directory was missing. If you are using Eclipse, make sure the .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component is correct (Deployment Assembly in the project settings).

In my case it was missing

    <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>
    <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/test/resources"/>

This file is also a common source of errors as mentioned by Anuj (missing dependencies of other projects).

Otherwise, hopefully the other answers (or the "Problems" tab) will help you.

1064 error in CREATE TABLE ... TYPE=MYISAM

A complementary note about CREATE TABLE .. TYPE="" syntax in SQL dump files

TLDR: If you still get CREATE TABLE ... TYPE="..." statements in SQL dump files generated by third party tools, it most certainly indicates that your server is configured to use a default sqlmode of MYSQL40 or MYSQL323.

Long story

As it was said by others, the TYPE argument to CREATE TABLE has been deprecated for a long time in MySQL. mysqldump correctly uses the ENGINE argument, unless you specifically ask it to generate a backward compatible dump (for example using --compatible=mysql40 in versions of mysqldump up to 5.7).

However, many external SQL dump tools (for example, those integrated in MySQL clients such as phpmyadmin, Navicat and DBVisualizer, as well as those used by external automated backup services such as iControlWP) are not specifically aware of this change, and instead rely on the SHOW CREATE TABLE ... command to provide table creation statements for each tables (and just to it make it clear: this is actually a good thing). However, the SHOW CREATE TABLE will actually produce outdated syntax, including the TYPE argument, if the sqlmode variable is set to MYSQL40 or MYSQL323.

Therefore, if you still get CREATE TABLE ... TYPE="..." statements in SQL dump files generated by third party tools, it most certainly indicates that your server is configured to use a default sqlmode of MYSQL40 or MYSQL323.

These sqlmodes basically configure MySQL to retain some backward compatible behaviours, and using them by default was largely recommended a few years ago. It is however highly improbable that you still have any code that wouldn't work correctly without these modes. Anyway, MYSQL40, MYSQL323 and several other similar sqlmodes have themselves been deprecated and are not supported in MySQL 8.0 and higher.

If your server is still configured with these sqlmodes and you are worried that some legacy program might fail if you change these, then one possibility is to set the sqlmode locally for that program, by executing SET SESSION sql_mode = 'MYSQL40'; immediately after connection. Note that this should only be considered as a temporary patch, and will not work in MySQL 8.0 and higher.

A more future-proof solution that do not involve rewriting your SQL queries would be to determine exactly which compatibility features need to be enable, and to enable only those, on a per-program basis (as described previously). The default sqlmode (that is, in server's configuration) should ideally be left unset (which will use official MySQL defaults for your current version). The full list of sqlmode (as of MySQL 5.7) is described here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html.

How do I add button on each row in datatable?

mssql '5 (Access is denied.)' error during restoring database

I recently had this problem. The fix for me was to go to the Files page of the Restore Database dialog and check "Relocate all files to folder".

SQL Query to concatenate column values from multiple rows in Oracle

In the select where you want your concatenation, call a SQL function.

For example:

select PID, dbo.MyConcat(PID)
   from TableA;

Then for the SQL function:

Function MyConcat(@PID varchar(10))
returns varchar(1000)
as
begin

declare @x varchar(1000);

select @x = isnull(@x +',', @x, @x +',') + Desc
  from TableB
    where PID = @PID;

return @x;

end

The Function Header syntax might be wrong, but the principle does work.

How do I loop through items in a list box and then remove those item?

while(listbox.Items.Remove(s)) ; should work, as well. However, I think the backwards solution is the fastest.

How to properly import a selfsigned certificate into Java keystore that is available to all Java applications by default?

Might want to try

keytool -import -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore <full path to cacerts> -storepass changeit -alias $REMHOST -file $REMHOST.pem

i honestly have no idea where it puts your certificate if you just write cacerts just give it a full path

GoogleMaps API KEY for testing

There seems no way to have google maps api key free without credit card. To test the functionality of google map you can use it while leaving the api key field "EMPTY". It will show a message saying "For Development Purpose Only". And that way you can test google map functionality without putting billing information for google map api key.

How to get correlation of two vectors in python

The docs indicate that numpy.correlate is not what you are looking for:

numpy.correlate(a, v, mode='valid', old_behavior=False)[source]
  Cross-correlation of two 1-dimensional sequences.
  This function computes the correlation as generally defined in signal processing texts:
     z[k] = sum_n a[n] * conj(v[n+k])
  with a and v sequences being zero-padded where necessary and conj being the conjugate.

Instead, as the other comments suggested, you are looking for a Pearson correlation coefficient. To do this with scipy try:

from scipy.stats.stats import pearsonr   
a = [1,4,6]
b = [1,2,3]   
print pearsonr(a,b)

This gives

(0.99339926779878274, 0.073186395040328034)

You can also use numpy.corrcoef:

import numpy
print numpy.corrcoef(a,b)

This gives:

[[ 1.          0.99339927]
 [ 0.99339927  1.        ]]

MySQL Multiple Joins in one query?

You can simply add another join like this:

SELECT dashboard_data.headline, dashboard_data.message, dashboard_messages.image_id, images.filename
FROM dashboard_data 
    INNER JOIN dashboard_messages 
        ON dashboard_message_id = dashboard_messages.id
    INNER JOIN images
        ON dashboard_messages.image_id = images.image_id 

However be aware that, because it is an INNER JOIN, if you have a message without an image, the entire row will be skipped. If this is a possibility, you may want to do a LEFT OUTER JOIN which will return all your dashboard messages and an image_filename only if one exists (otherwise you'll get a null)

SELECT dashboard_data.headline, dashboard_data.message, dashboard_messages.image_id, images.filename
FROM dashboard_data 
    INNER JOIN dashboard_messages 
        ON dashboard_message_id = dashboard_messages.id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN images
        ON dashboard_messages.image_id = images.image_id

How can I use inverse or negative wildcards when pattern matching in a unix/linux shell?

If you want to avoid the mem cost of using the exec command, I believe you can do better with xargs. I think the following is a more efficient alternative to

find foo -type f ! -name '*Music*' -exec cp {} bar \; # new proc for each exec



find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*Music*' -prune -o -print0 | xargs -0 -i cp {} dest/

Basic text editor in command prompt?

The standard text editor in windows is notepad. There are no built-in command line editors.

Windows does not ship a C or C++ compiler. The .NET framework comes with several compilers, though: csc.exe (C# compiler), vbc.exe (VB.NET compiler), jsc.exe (JavaScript compiler).

If you want a free alternative you can download Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop that comes with an optimizing C/C++ compiler (cl.exe).

What does it mean to write to stdout in C?

@K Scott Piel wrote a great answer here, but I want to add one important point.

Note that the stdout stream is usually line-buffered, so to ensure the output is actually printed and not just left sitting in the buffer waiting to be written you must flush the buffer by either ending your printf statement with a \n

Ex:

printf("hello world\n");

or

printf("hello world"); 
printf("\n");

or similar, OR you must call fflush(stdout); after your printf call.

Ex:

printf("hello world"); 
fflush(stdout);

Read more here: Why does printf not flush after the call unless a newline is in the format string?

How can I concatenate a string and a number in Python?

Python is strongly typed. There are no implicit type conversions.

You have to do one of these:

"asd%d" % 9
"asd" + str(9)

Scheduled run of stored procedure on SQL server

Yes, in MS SQL Server, you can create scheduled jobs. In SQL Management Studio, navigate to the server, then expand the SQL Server Agent item, and finally the Jobs folder to view, edit, add scheduled jobs.

What is the difference between Session.Abandon() and Session.Clear()

this code works and dont throw any exception:

Session.Abandon();  
Session["tempKey1"] = "tempValue1";

It's because when the Abandon method is called, the current Session object is queued for deletion but is not actually deleted until all of the script commands on the current page have been processed. This means that you can access variables stored in the Session object on the same page as the call to the Abandon method but not in any subsequent Web pages.

For example, in the following script, the third line prints the value Mary. This is because the Session object is not destroyed until the server has finished processing the script.

<% 
  Session.Abandon  
  Session("MyName") = "Mary" 
  Reponse.Write(Session("MyName")) 
%>

If you access the variable MyName on a subsequent Web page, it is empty. This is because MyName was destroyed with the previous Session object when the page containing the previous example finished processing.

Select data from "show tables" MySQL query

You may be closer than you think — SHOW TABLES already behaves a lot like SELECT:

foreach ($pdo->query("SHOW TABLES") as $row) {
    print "Table $row[Tables_in_$dbname]\n";
}

How to execute .sql file using powershell?

Quoting from Import the SQLPS Module on MSDN,

The recommended way to manage SQL Server from PowerShell is to import the sqlps module into a Windows PowerShell 2.0 environment.

So, yes, you could use the Add-PSSnapin approach detailed by Christian, but it is also useful to appreciate the recommended sqlps module approach.

The simplest case assumes you have SQL Server 2012: sqlps is included in the installation so you simply load the module like any other (typically in your profile) via Import-Module sqlps. You can check if the module is available on your system with Get-Module -ListAvailable.

If you do not have SQL Server 2012, then all you need do is download the sqlps module into your modules directory so Get-Module/Import-Module will find it. Curiously, Microsoft does not make this module available for download! However, Chad Miller has kindly packaged up the requisite pieces and provided this module download. Unzip it under your ...Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules directory and proceed with the import.

It is interesting to note that the module approach and the snapin approach are not identical. If you load the snapins then run Get-PSSnapin (without the -Registered parameter, to show only what you have loaded) you will see the SQL snapins. If, on the other hand, you load the sqlps module Get-PSSnapin will not show the snapins loaded, so the various blog entries that test for the Invoke-Sqlcmd cmdlet by only examining snapins could be giving a false negative result.

2012.10.06 Update

For the complete story on the sqlps module vs. the sqlps mini-shell vs. SQL Server snap-ins, take a look at my two-part mini-series Practical PowerShell for SQL Server Developers and DBAs recently published on Simple-Talk.com where I have, according to one reader's comment, successfully "de-confused" the issue. :-)

How to make an input type=button act like a hyperlink and redirect using a get request?

You can make <button> tag to do action like this:

<a href="http://www.google.com/">
   <button>Visit Google</button>
</a>

or:

<a href="http://www.google.com/">
   <input type="button" value="Visit Google" />
</a>

It's simple and no javascript required!


NOTE:

This approach is not valid from HTML structure. But, it works on many modern browser. See following reference :

Converting java.sql.Date to java.util.Date

The class java.sql.Date is designed to carry only a date without time, so the conversion result you see is correct for this type. You need to use a java.sql.Timestamp to get a full date with time.

java.util.Date newDate = result.getTimestamp("VALUEDATE");

How to place and center text in an SVG rectangle

How to store arbitrary data for some HTML tags

You could use hidden input tags. I get no validation errors at w3.org with this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang='en' xml:lang='en' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" />
    <title>Hello</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <a class="article" href="link/for/non-js-users.html">
        <input style="display: none" name="articleid" type="hidden" value="5" />
      </a>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

With jQuery you'd get the article ID with something like (not tested):

$('.article input[name=articleid]').val();

But I'd recommend HTML5 if that is an option.

Find the day of a week

3 2012-02-02  Thursday

Rank function in MySQL

If you want to rank just one person you can do the following:

SELECT COUNT(Age) + 1
 FROM PERSON
WHERE(Age < age_to_rank)

This ranking corresponds to the oracle RANK function (Where if you have people with the same age they get the same rank, and the ranking after that is non-consecutive).

It's a little bit faster than using one of the above solutions in a subquery and selecting from that to get the ranking of one person.

This can be used to rank everyone but it's slower than the above solutions.

SELECT
  Age AS age_var,
(
  SELECT COUNT(Age) + 1
  FROM Person
  WHERE (Age < age_var)
 ) AS rank
 FROM Person

Specifying content of an iframe instead of the src attribute to a page

In combination with what Guffa described, you could use the technique described in Explanation of <script type = "text/template"> ... </script> to store the HTML document in a special script element (see the link for an explanation on how this works). That's a lot easier than storing the HTML document in a string.

Passing a string with spaces as a function argument in bash

you should put quotes and also, your function declaration is wrong.

And like the others, it works for me as well. Tell us what version of shell you are using.

How to check if element has any children in Javascript?

A reusable isEmpty( <selector> ) function.
You can also run it toward a collection of elements (see example)

_x000D_
_x000D_
const isEmpty = sel =>_x000D_
    ![... document.querySelectorAll(sel)].some(el => el.innerHTML.trim() !== "");_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(_x000D_
  isEmpty("#one"), // false_x000D_
  isEmpty("#two"), // true_x000D_
  isEmpty(".foo"), // false_x000D_
  isEmpty(".bar")  // true_x000D_
);
_x000D_
<div id="one">_x000D_
 foo_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div id="two">_x000D_
 _x000D_
</div>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div class="foo"></div>_x000D_
<div class="foo"><p>foo</p></div>_x000D_
<div class="foo"></div>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div class="bar"></div>_x000D_
<div class="bar"></div>_x000D_
<div class="bar"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

returns true (and exits loop) as soon one element has any kind of content beside spaces or newlines.

Resolve build errors due to circular dependency amongst classes

Things to remember:

  • This won't work if class A has an object of class B as a member or vice versa.
  • Forward declaration is way to go.
  • Order of declaration matters (which is why you are moving out the definitions).
    • If both classes call functions of the other, you have to move the definitions out.

Read the FAQ:

Replaced the reader declaration with this one and now it works!

Encoding.Default represents the ANSI code page that is set under Windows Control Panel.

How to link home brew python version and set it as default

On OS X High Sierra, I had to do this:

sudo install -d -o $(whoami) -g admin /usr/local/Frameworks
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies python
brew install python
python --version # should work, returns 2.7, which is a Python thing (it's weird, but ok)

I think it's better than recursively chowning the /usr/local dir, but that may solve other problems ;)

How can I regenerate ios folder in React Native project?

It seems like react-native eject is no more available. The only way I could find for recreating the ios folder was to generate it from scratch.

Take a backup of your ios folder

mv /path_to_your_old_project/ios /path_to_your_backup_dir/ios_backup

Navigate to a temporary directory and create a new project with the same name as your current project

react-native init project_name
mv project_name/ios /path_to_your_old_project/ios

Install the pod dependencies inside the ios folder within your project

cd /path_to_your_old_project/ios
pod install

Using setTimeout to delay timing of jQuery actions

.html() only takes a string OR a function as an argument, not both. Try this:

 $("#showDiv").click(function () {
     $('#theDiv').show(1000, function () {
         setTimeout(function () {
             $('#theDiv').html(function () {
                 setTimeout(function () {
                     $('#theDiv').html('Here is some replacement text');
                 }, 0);
                 setTimeout(function () {
                     $('#theDiv').html('More replacement text goes here');
                 }, 2500);
             });
         }, 2500);
     });
 }); //click function ends

How is Docker different from a virtual machine?

1. Lightweight

This is probably the first impression for many docker learners.

First, docker images are usually smaller than VM images, makes it easy to build, copy, share.

Second, Docker containers can start in several milliseconds, while VM starts in seconds.

2. Layered File System

This is another key feature of Docker. Images have layers, and different images can share layers, make it even more space-saving and faster to build.

If all containers use Ubuntu as their base images, not every image has its own file system, but share the same underline ubuntu files, and only differs in their own application data.

3. Shared OS Kernel

Think of containers as processes!

All containers running on a host is indeed a bunch of processes with different file systems. They share the same OS kernel, only encapsulates system library and dependencies.

This is good for most cases(no extra OS kernel maintains) but can be a problem if strict isolations are necessary between containers.

Why it matters?

All these seem like improvements, not revolution. Well, quantitative accumulation leads to qualitative transformation.

Think about application deployment. If we want to deploy a new software(service) or upgrade one, it is better to change the config files and processes instead of creating a new VM. Because Creating a VM with updated service, testing it(share between Dev & QA), deploying to production takes hours, even days. If anything goes wrong, you got to start again, wasting even more time. So, use configuration management tool(puppet, saltstack, chef etc.) to install new software, download new files is preferred.

When it comes to docker, it's impossible to use a newly created docker container to replace the old one. Maintainance is much easier!Building a new image, share it with QA, testing it, deploying it only takes minutes(if everything is automated), hours in the worst case. This is called immutable infrastructure: do not maintain(upgrade) software, create a new one instead.

It transforms how services are delivered. We want applications, but have to maintain VMs(which is a pain and has little to do with our applications). Docker makes you focus on applications and smooths everything.

Property 'value' does not exist on type 'Readonly<{}>'

interface MyProps {
  ...
}

interface MyState {
  value: string
}

class App extends React.Component<MyProps, MyState> {
  ...
}

// Or with hooks, something like

const App = ({}: MyProps) => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<string>('');
  ...
};

type's are fine too like in @nitzan-tomer's answer, as long as you're consistent.

How do I import .sql files into SQLite 3?

Create a remote branch on GitHub

Git is supposed to understand what files already exist on the server, unless you somehow made a huge difference to your tree and the new changes need to be sent.

To create a new branch with a copy of your current state

git checkout -b new_branch #< create a new local branch with a copy of your code
git push origin new_branch #< pushes to the server

Can you please describe the steps you did to understand what might have made your repository need to send that much to the server.

PageSpeed Insights 99/100 because of Google Analytics - How can I cache GA?

Depending on your use of Google Analytics data, if you want basic information (such as visits, UI interactions) you might be able to not include analytics.js at all, yet still collect data in GA.

One option may be to instead use the measurement protocol in a cached script. Google Analytics: Measurement Protocol Overview

When you set the transport method explicitly to image, you can see how GA constructs its own image beacons.

ga('set', 'transport', 'image');

https://www.google-analytics.com/r/collect
  ?v={protocol-version}
  &tid={tracking-id}
  &cid={client-id}
  &t={hit-type}
  &dl={location}

You could create your own GET or POST requests with the required payload.

However, if you require a greater level of detail it probably won't be worth your effort.

Start service in Android

startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));

Just writing this line was not sufficient for me. Service still did not work. Everything had worked only after registering service at manifest

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

    ...

    <service
        android:name=".MyService"
        android:label="My Service" >
    </service>
</application>

Get the time difference between two datetimes

If you want a localized number of days between two dates (startDate, endDate):

var currentLocaleData = moment.localeData("en");
var duration = moment.duration(endDate.diff(startDate));
var nbDays = Math.floor(duration.asDays()); // complete days
var nbDaysStr = currentLocaleData.relativeTime(returnVal.days, false, "dd", false);

nbDaysStr will contain something like '3 days';

See https://momentjs.com/docs/#/i18n/changing-locale/ for information on how to display the amount of hours or month, for example.

How can I start and check my MySQL log?

Seems like the general query log is the file that you need. A good introduction to this is at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-log.html

How do I check if a column is empty or null in MySQL?

This will select all rows where some_col is NULL or '' (empty string)

SELECT * FROM table WHERE some_col IS NULL OR some_col = '';

SQL Server : Columns to Rows

The opposite of this is to flatten a column into a csv eg

SELECT STRING_AGG ([value],',') FROM STRING_SPLIT('Akio,Hiraku,Kazuo', ',')

Mongoose limit/offset and count query

After having to tackle this issue myself, I would like to build upon user854301's answer.

Mongoose ^4.13.8 I was able to use a function called toConstructor() which allowed me to avoid building the query multiple times when filters are applied. I know this function is available in older versions too but you'll have to check the Mongoose docs to confirm this.

The following uses Bluebird promises:

let schema = Query.find({ name: 'bloggs', age: { $gt: 30 } });

// save the query as a 'template'
let query = schema.toConstructor();

return Promise.join(
    schema.count().exec(),
    query().limit(limit).skip(skip).exec(),

    function (total, data) {
        return { data: data, total: total }
    }
);

Now the count query will return the total records it matched and the data returned will be a subset of the total records.

Please note the () around query() which constructs the query.

How to generate an MD5 file hash in JavaScript?

As a contemporary alternative, there is a standard now for client side cryptography. This has the advantage of being optimised by the browser itself.

Taken from the example in the documentation:

async function sha256(message) {

    // encode as UTF-8
    const msgBuffer = new TextEncoder('utf-8').encode(message);

    // hash the message
    const hashBuffer = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', msgBuffer);

    // convert ArrayBuffer to Array
    const hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));

    // convert bytes to hex string
    const hashHex = hashArray.map(b => ('00' + b.toString(16)).slice(-2)).join('');
    return hashHex;
}

sha256('abc').then(hash => console.log(hash));

(async function() {
    const hash = await sha256('abc');
}());

MD5 is likely unsupported, however the likes of SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are.

And those will likely be able to be calculated server side also.

Here's some documentation on usage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/digest

And cross browser compatibility: https://caniuse.com/#feat=cryptography

How to get rid of "Unnamed: 0" column in a pandas DataFrame?

Simple do this:

Is ASCII code 7-bit or 8-bit?

ASCII was indeed originally conceived as a 7-bit code. This was done well before 8-bit bytes became ubiquitous, and even into the 1990s you could find software that assumed it could use the 8th bit of each byte of text for its own purposes ("not 8-bit clean"). Nowadays people think of it as an 8-bit coding in which bytes 0x80 through 0xFF have no defined meaning, but that's a retcon.

There are dozens of text encodings that make use of the 8th bit; they can be classified as ASCII-compatible or not, and fixed- or variable-width. ASCII-compatible means that regardless of context, single bytes with values from 0x00 through 0x7F encode the same characters that they would in ASCII. You don't want to have anything to do with a non-ASCII-compatible text encoding if you can possibly avoid it; naive programs expecting ASCII tend to misinterpret them in catastrophic, often security-breaking fashion. They are so deprecated nowadays that (for instance) HTML5 forbids their use on the public Web, with the unfortunate exception of UTF-16. I'm not going to talk about them any more.

A fixed-width encoding means what it sounds like: all characters are encoded using the same number of bytes. To be ASCII-compatible, a fixed-with encoding must encode all its characters using only one byte, so it can have no more than 256 characters. The most common such encoding nowadays is Windows-1252, an extension of ISO 8859-1.

There's only one variable-width ASCII-compatible encoding worth knowing about nowadays, but it's very important: UTF-8, which packs all of Unicode into an ASCII-compatible encoding. You really want to be using this if you can manage it.

As a final note, "ASCII" nowadays takes its practical definition from Unicode, not its original standard (ANSI X3.4-1968), because historically there were several dozen variations on the ASCII 127-character repertoire -- for instance, some of the punctuation might be replaced with accented letters to facilitate the transmission of French text. Nowadays all of those variations are obsolescent, and when people say "ASCII" they mean that the bytes with value 0x00 through 0x7F encode Unicode codepoints U+0000 through U+007F. This will probably only matter to you if you ever find yourself writing a technical standard.

If you're interested in the history of ASCII and the encodings that preceded it, start with the paper "The Evolution of Character Codes, 1874-1968" (samizdat copy at http://falsedoor.com/doc/ascii_evolution-of-character-codes.pdf) and then chase its references (many of which are not available online and may be hard to find even with access to a university library, I regret to say).

Raise error in a Bash script

You have 2 options: Redirect the output of the script to a file, Introduce a log file in the script and

  1. Redirecting output to a file:

Here you assume that the script outputs all necessary info, including warning and error messages. You can then redirect the output to a file of your choice.

./runTests &> output.log

The above command redirects both the standard output and the error output to your log file.

Using this approach you don't have to introduce a log file in the script, and so the logic is a tiny bit easier.

  1. Introduce a log file to the script:

In your script add a log file either by hard coding it:

logFile='./path/to/log/file.log'

or passing it by a parameter:

logFile="${1}"  # This assumes the first parameter to the script is the log file

It's a good idea to add the timestamp at the time of execution to the log file at the top of the script:

date '+%Y%-m%d-%H%M%S' >> "${logFile}"

You can then redirect your error messages to the log file

if [ condition ]; then
    echo "Test cases failed!!" >> "${logFile}"; 
fi

This will append the error to the log file and continue execution. If you want to stop execution when critical errors occur, you can exit the script:

if [ condition ]; then
    echo "Test cases failed!!" >> "${logFile}"; 
    # Clean up if needed
    exit 1;
fi

Note that exit 1 indicates that the program stop execution due to an unspecified error. You can customize this if you like.

Using this approach you can customize your logs and have a different log file for each component of your script.


If you have a relatively small script or want to execute somebody else's script without modifying it to the first approach is more suitable.

If you always want the log file to be at the same location, this is the better option of the 2. Also if you have created a big script with multiple components then you may want to log each part differently and the second approach is your only option.

Add error bars to show standard deviation on a plot in R

You can use segments to add the bars in base graphics. Here epsilon controls the line across the top and bottom of the line.

plot (x, y, ylim=c(0, 6))
epsilon = 0.02
for(i in 1:5) {
    up = y[i] + sd[i]
    low = y[i] - sd[i]
    segments(x[i],low , x[i], up)
    segments(x[i]-epsilon, up , x[i]+epsilon, up)
    segments(x[i]-epsilon, low , x[i]+epsilon, low)
}

As @thelatemail points out, I should really have used vectorised function calls:

segments(x, y-sd,x, y+sd)
epsilon = 0.02
segments(x-epsilon,y-sd,x+epsilon,y-sd)
segments(x-epsilon,y+sd,x+epsilon,y+sd)

While loop to test if a file exists in bash

When you say "doesn't work", how do you know it doesn't work?

You might try to figure out if the file actually exists by adding:

while [ ! -f /tmp/list.txt ]
do
  sleep 2 # or less like 0.2
done
ls -l /tmp/list.txt

You might also make sure that you're using a Bash (or related) shell by typing 'echo $SHELL'. I think that CSH and TCSH use a slightly different semantic for this loop.

Table with 100% width with equal size columns

If you don't know how many columns you are going to have, the declaration

table-layout: fixed

along with not setting any column widths, would imply that browsers divide the total width evenly - no matter what.

That can also be the problem with this approach, if you use this, you should also consider how overflow is to be handled.

How can I apply a function to every row/column of a matrix in MATLAB?

Building on Alex's answer, here is a more generic function:

applyToGivenRow = @(func, matrix) @(row) func(matrix(row, :));
newApplyToRows = @(func, matrix) arrayfun(applyToGivenRow(func, matrix), 1:size(matrix,1), 'UniformOutput', false)';
takeAll = @(x) reshape([x{:}], size(x{1},2), size(x,1))';
genericApplyToRows = @(func, matrix) takeAll(newApplyToRows(func, matrix));

Here is a comparison between the two functions:

>> % Example
myMx = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
myFunc = @(x) [mean(x), std(x), sum(x), length(x)];
>> genericApplyToRows(myFunc, myMx)

ans =

     2     1     6     3
     5     1    15     3
     8     1    24     3

>> applyToRows(myFunc, myMx)
??? Error using ==> arrayfun
Non-scalar in Uniform output, at index 1, output 1.
Set 'UniformOutput' to false.

Error in ==> @(func,matrix)arrayfun(applyToGivenRow(func,matrix),1:size(matrix,1))'

How to display text in pygame?

You can create a surface with text on it. For this take a look at this short example:

pygame.font.init() # you have to call this at the start, 
                   # if you want to use this module.
myfont = pygame.font.SysFont('Comic Sans MS', 30)

This creates a new object on which you can call the render method.

textsurface = myfont.render('Some Text', False, (0, 0, 0))

This creates a new surface with text already drawn onto it. At the end you can just blit the text surface onto your main screen.

screen.blit(textsurface,(0,0))

Bear in mind, that everytime the text changes, you have to recreate the surface again, to see the new text.

ERROR Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit' or one of its dependencies

It looks like you're trying to run it on a version of ASP.NET which is running CLR v2. It's hard to know exactly what's going on without more information about how you've deployed it, what version of IIS you're running etc (and to be frank I wouldn't be very much help at that point anyway, though others would). But basically, check your IIS and ASP.NET set-up, and make sure that everything is running v4. Check your application pool configuration, etc.

How to use JavaScript to change the form action

I wanted to use JavaScript to change a form's action, so I could have different submit inputs within the same form linking to different pages.

I also had the added complication of using Apache rewrite to change example.com/page-name into example.com/index.pl?page=page-name. I found that changing the form's action caused example.com/index.pl (with no page parameter) to be rendered, even though the expected URL (example.com/page-name) was displayed in the address bar.

To get around this, I used JavaScript to insert a hidden field to set the page parameter. I still changed the form's action, just so the address bar displayed the correct URL.

function setAction (element, page)
{
  if(checkCondition(page))
  {
    /* Insert a hidden input into the form to set the page as a parameter.
     */
    var input = document.createElement("input");
    input.setAttribute("type","hidden");
    input.setAttribute("name","page");
    input.setAttribute("value",page);
    element.form.appendChild(input);

    /* Change the form's action. This doesn't chage which page is displayed,
     * it just make the URL look right.
     */
    element.form.action = '/' + page;
    element.form.submit();
  }
}

In the form:

<input type="submit" onclick='setAction(this,"my-page")' value="Click Me!" />

Here are my Apache rewrite rules:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.pl?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

I'd be interested in any explanation as to why just setting the action didn't work.

Javascript: The prettiest way to compare one value against multiple values

What i use to do, is put those multiple values in an array like

var options = [foo, bar];

and then, use indexOf()

if(options.indexOf(foobar) > -1){
   //do something
}

for prettiness:

if([foo, bar].indexOf(foobar) +1){
   //you can't get any more pretty than this :)
}

and for the older browsers:
( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/IndexOf )

if (!Array.prototype.indexOf) {
    Array.prototype.indexOf = function (searchElement /*, fromIndex */ ) {
        "use strict";
        if (this == null) {
            throw new TypeError();
        }
        var t = Object(this);
        var len = t.length >>> 0;
        if (len === 0) {
            return -1;
        }
        var n = 0;
        if (arguments.length > 0) {
            n = Number(arguments[1]);
            if (n != n) { // shortcut for verifying if it's NaN
                n = 0;
            } else if (n != 0 && n != Infinity && n != -Infinity) {
                n = (n > 0 || -1) * Math.floor(Math.abs(n));
            }
        }
        if (n >= len) {
            return -1;
        }
        var k = n >= 0 ? n : Math.max(len - Math.abs(n), 0);
        for (; k < len; k++) {
            if (k in t && t[k] === searchElement) {
                return k;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
}

Checking whether the pip is installed?

pip list is a shell command. You should run it in your shell (bash/cmd), rather than invoke it from python interpreter.

pip does not provide a stable API. The only supported way of calling it is via subprocess, see docs and the code at the end of this answer.

However, if you want to just check if pip exists locally, without running it, and you are running Linux, I would suggest that you use bash's which command:

which pip

It should show you whether the command can be found in bash's PATH/aliases, and if it does, what does it actually execute.

If running pip is not an issue, you could just do:

python -m pip --version

If you really need to do it from a python script, you can always put the import statement into a try...except block:

try:
    import pip
except ImportError:
    print("Pip not present.")

Or check what's the output of a pip --version using subprocess module:

subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', '--version'])

How do I read the first line of a file using cat?

Storing Data in MySQL as JSON

I use json to record anything for a project, I use three tables in fact ! one for the data in json, one for the index of each metadata of the json structure (each meta is encoded by an unique id), and one for the session user, that's all. The benchmark cannot be quantified at this early state of code, but for exemple I was user views (inner join with index) to get a category (or anything, as user, ...), and it was very slow (very very slow, used view in mysql is not the good way). The search module, in this structure, can do anything I want, but, I think mongodb will be more efficient in this concept of full json data record. For my exemple, I user views to create tree of category, and breadcrumb, my god ! so many query to do ! apache itself gone ! and, in fact, for this little website, I use know a php who generate tree and breadcrumb, the extraction of the datas is done by the search module (who use only index), the data table is used only for update. If I want, I can destroy the all indexes, and regenerate it with each data, and do the reverse work to, like, destroy all the data (json) and regenerate it only with the index table. My project is young, running under php and mysql, but, sometime I thing using node js and mongodb will be more efficient for this project.

Use json if you think you can do, just for do it, because you can ! and, forget it if it was a mistake; try by make good or bad choice, but try !

Determining type of an object in ruby

Oftentimes in Ruby, you don't actually care what the object's class is, per se, you just care that it responds to a certain method. This is known as Duck Typing and you'll see it in all sorts of Ruby codebases.

So in many (if not most) cases, its best to use Duck Typing using #respond_to?(method):

object.respond_to?(:to_i)

Get the decimal part from a double

the best of the best way is:

var floatNumber = 12.5523;

var x = floatNumber - Math.Truncate(floatNumber);

result you can convert however you like

Difference Between $.getJSON() and $.ajax() in jQuery

There is lots of confusion in some of the function of jquery like $.ajax, $.get, $.post, $.getScript, $.getJSON that what is the difference among them which is the best, which is the fast, which to use and when so below is the description of them to make them clear and to get rid of this type of confusions.

$.getJSON() function is a shorthand Ajax function (internally use $.get() with data type script), which is equivalent to below expression, Uses some limited criteria like Request type is GET and data Type is json.

Changing the default title of confirm() in JavaScript?

Yes, this is impossible to modify the title of it. If you still want to have your own title, you can try to use other pop-up windows instead.

How to set focus to a button widget programmatically?

Yeah it's possible.

Button myBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.myButtonId);
myBtn.requestFocus();

or in XML

<Button ...><requestFocus /></Button>

Important Note: The button widget needs to be focusable and focusableInTouchMode. Most widgets are focusable but not focusableInTouchMode by default. So make sure to either set it in code

myBtn.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

or in XML

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Compare two columns using pandas

Use np.select if you have multiple conditions to be checked from the dataframe and output a specific choice in a different column

conditions=[(condition1),(condition2)]
choices=["choice1","chocie2"]

df["new column"]=np.select=(condtion,choice,default=)

Note: No of conditions and no of choices should match, repeat text in choice if for two different conditions you have same choices

Why do Sublime Text 3 Themes not affect the sidebar?

The best way to enhance your experience and change the sidebar and theme of the sublime text UI is to install two packages to control it:

  1. Install a theme that has UI inside its package (I use Agila Theme [dracula] )
  2. Install Themes Menu Switcher package

After you've installed those two, just change the color scheme (text editor) and then with the Theme Menu Switcher you'll switch to whatever UI you use.

Remember: It's required that the theme you install to have UI inside the package.

JavaScript: Passing parameters to a callback function

If you are not sure how many parameters are you going to be passed into callback functions, use apply function.

function tryMe (param1, param2) {
  alert (param1 + " and " + param2);
}

function callbackTester(callback,params){
    callback.apply(this,params);
}

callbackTester(tryMe,['hello','goodbye']);

MySQL Results as comma separated list

Instead of using group concat() you can use just concat()

Select concat(Col1, ',', Col2) as Foo_Bar from Table1;

edit this only works in mySQL; Oracle concat only accepts two arguments. In oracle you can use something like select col1||','||col2||','||col3 as foobar from table1; in sql server you would use + instead of pipes.

Placing an image to the top right corner - CSS

Position the div relatively, and position the ribbon absolutely inside it. Something like:

#content {
  position:relative;
}

.ribbon {
  position:absolute;

  right:0;
}

Copy output of a JavaScript variable to the clipboard

For general purposes of copying any text to the clipboard, I wrote the following function:

function textToClipboard (text) {
    var dummy = document.createElement("textarea");
    document.body.appendChild(dummy);
    dummy.value = text;
    dummy.select();
    document.execCommand("copy");
    document.body.removeChild(dummy);
}

The value of the parameter is inserted into value of a newly created <textarea>, which is then selected, its value is copied to the clipboard and then it gets removed from the document.

Setting the value of checkbox to true or false with jQuery

Try this:

HTML:

<input type="checkbox" value="FALSE" />

jQ:

$("input[type='checkbox']").on('change', function(){
  $(this).val(this.checked ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");
})

jsfiddle

Please bear in mind that unchecked checkbox will not be submitted in regular form, and you should use hidden filed in order to do it.

Sanitizing user input before adding it to the DOM in Javascript

Since the text that you are escaping will appear in an HTML attribute, you must be sure to escape not only HTML entities but also HTML attributes:

var ESC_MAP = {
    '&': '&amp;',
    '<': '&lt;',
    '>': '&gt;',
    '"': '&quot;',
    "'": '&#39;'
};

function escapeHTML(s, forAttribute) {
    return s.replace(forAttribute ? /[&<>'"]/g : /[&<>]/g, function(c) {
        return ESC_MAP[c];
    });
}

Then, your escaping code becomes var user_id = escapeHTML(id, true).

.NET Console Application Exit Event

Here is a complete, very simple .Net solution that works in all versions of windows. Simply paste it into a new project, run it and try CTRL-C to view how it handles it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;

namespace TestTrapCtrlC{
    public class Program{
        static bool exitSystem = false;

        #region Trap application termination
        [DllImport("Kernel32")]
        private static extern bool SetConsoleCtrlHandler(EventHandler handler, bool add);

        private delegate bool EventHandler(CtrlType sig);
        static EventHandler _handler;

        enum CtrlType {
         CTRL_C_EVENT = 0,
         CTRL_BREAK_EVENT = 1,
         CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT = 2,
         CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT = 5,
         CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT = 6
         }

        private static bool Handler(CtrlType sig) {
            Console.WriteLine("Exiting system due to external CTRL-C, or process kill, or shutdown");

            //do your cleanup here
            Thread.Sleep(5000); //simulate some cleanup delay

            Console.WriteLine("Cleanup complete");

            //allow main to run off
             exitSystem = true;

            //shutdown right away so there are no lingering threads
            Environment.Exit(-1);

            return true;
        }
        #endregion

        static void Main(string[] args) {
            // Some biolerplate to react to close window event, CTRL-C, kill, etc
            _handler += new EventHandler(Handler);
            SetConsoleCtrlHandler(_handler, true);

            //start your multi threaded program here
            Program p = new Program();
            p.Start();

            //hold the console so it doesn’t run off the end
            while(!exitSystem) {
                Thread.Sleep(500);
            }
        }

        public void Start() {
            // start a thread and start doing some processing
            Console.WriteLine("Thread started, processing..");
        }
    }
 }

How to 'insert if not exists' in MySQL?

Here is a PHP function that will insert a row only if all the specified columns values don't already exist in the table.

  • If one of the columns differ, the row will be added.

  • If the table is empty, the row will be added.

  • If a row exists where all the specified columns have the specified values, the row won't be added.

    function insert_unique($table, $vars)
    {
      if (count($vars)) {
        $table = mysql_real_escape_string($table);
        $vars = array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', $vars);
    
        $req = "INSERT INTO `$table` (`". join('`, `', array_keys($vars)) ."`) ";
        $req .= "SELECT '". join("', '", $vars) ."' FROM DUAL ";
        $req .= "WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM `$table` WHERE ";
    
        foreach ($vars AS $col => $val)
          $req .= "`$col`='$val' AND ";
    
        $req = substr($req, 0, -5) . ") LIMIT 1";
    
        $res = mysql_query($req) OR die();
        return mysql_insert_id();
      }
    
      return False;
    }
    

Example usage :

<?php
insert_unique('mytable', array(
  'mycolumn1' => 'myvalue1',
  'mycolumn2' => 'myvalue2',
  'mycolumn3' => 'myvalue3'
  )
);
?>

PHP FPM - check if running

Assuming you are on Linux, check if php-fpm is running by searching through the process list:

ps aux | grep php-fpm

If running over IP (as opposed to over Unix socket) then you can also check for the port:

netstat -an | grep :9000

Or using nmap:

nmap localhost -p 9000

Lastly, I've read that you can request the status, but in my experience this has proven unreliable:

/etc/init.d/php5-fpm status

Home does not contain an export named Home

We also can use

import { Home } from './layouts/Home'; 

using export keyword before class keyword.

export class Home extends React.Component{
    render(){
        ........
    }
}

For default

 import Home from './layouts/Home'; 

Default export class

 export default class Home extends React.Component{
    render(){
        ........
    }
 }

Both case don't need to write

export default Home;

after class.

Jquery Chosen plugin - dynamically populate list by Ajax

Ashirvad's answer no longer works. Note the class name changes and using the option element instead of the li element. I've updated my answer to not use the deprecated "success" event, instead opting for .done():

$('.chosen-search input').autocomplete({
    minLength: 3,
    source: function( request, response ) {
        $.ajax({
            url: "/some/autocomplete/url/"+request.term,
            dataType: "json",
            beforeSend: function(){ $('ul.chosen-results').empty(); $("#CHOSEN_INPUT_FIELDID").empty(); }
        }).done(function( data ) {
                response( $.map( data, function( item ) {
                    $('#CHOSEN_INPUT_FIELDID').append('<option value="blah">' + item.name + '</option>');
                }));

               $("#CHOSEN_INPUT_FIELDID").trigger("chosen:updated");
        });
    }
});

Get URL of ASP.Net Page in code-behind

I use this in my code in a custom class. Comes in handy for sending out emails like [email protected] "no-reply@" + BaseSiteUrl Works fine on any site.

// get a sites base urll ex: example.com
public static string BaseSiteUrl
{
    get
    {
        HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
        string baseUrl = context.Request.Url.Authority + context.Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/');
        return baseUrl;
    }

}

If you want to use it in codebehind get rid of context.

I want to truncate a text or line with ellipsis using JavaScript

This will limit it to however many lines you want it limited to and is responsive

An idea that nobody has suggested, doing it based on the height of the element and then stripping it back from there.

Fiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/hutber/u5mtLznf/ <- ES6 version

But basically you want to grab the line height of the element, loop through all the text and stop when its at a certain lines height:

'use strict';

var linesElement = 3; //it will truncate at 3 lines.
var truncateElement = document.getElementById('truncateme');
var truncateText = truncateElement.textContent;

var getLineHeight = function getLineHeight(element) {
  var lineHeight = window.getComputedStyle(truncateElement)['line-height'];
  if (lineHeight === 'normal') {
    // sucky chrome
    return 1.16 * parseFloat(window.getComputedStyle(truncateElement)['font-size']);
  } else {
    return parseFloat(lineHeight);
  }
};

linesElement.addEventListener('change', function () {
  truncateElement.innerHTML = truncateText;
  var truncateTextParts = truncateText.split(' ');
  var lineHeight = getLineHeight(truncateElement);
  var lines = parseInt(linesElement.value);

  while (lines * lineHeight < truncateElement.clientHeight) {
    console.log(truncateTextParts.length, lines * lineHeight, truncateElement.clientHeight);
    truncateTextParts.pop();
    truncateElement.innerHTML = truncateTextParts.join(' ') + '...';
  }
});

CSS

#truncateme {
   width: auto; This will be completely dynamic to the height of the element, its just restricted by how many lines you want it to clip to
}

Generating a Random Number between 1 and 10 Java

As the documentation says, this method call returns "a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive)". This means that you will get numbers from 0 to 9 in your case. So you've done everything correctly by adding one to that number.

Generally speaking, if you need to generate numbers from min to max (including both), you write

random.nextInt(max - min + 1) + min

What does if [ $? -eq 0 ] mean for shell scripts?

It's checking the return value ($?) of grep. In this case it's comparing it to 0 (success).

Usually when you see something like this (checking the return value of grep) it's checking to see whether the particular string was detected. Although the redirect to /dev/null isn't necessary, the same thing can be accomplished using -q.

How to document Python code using Doxygen

An other very good documentation tool is sphinx. It will be used for the upcoming python 2.6 documentation and is used by django and a lot of other python projects.

From the sphinx website:

  • Output formats: HTML (including Windows HTML Help) and LaTeX, for printable PDF versions
  • Extensive cross-references: semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, glossary terms and similar pieces of information
  • Hierarchical structure: easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children
  • Automatic indices: general index as well as a module index
  • Code handling: automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter
  • Extensions: automatic testing of code snippets, inclusion of docstrings from Python modules, and more

ReferenceError: describe is not defined NodeJs

To run tests with node/npm without installing Mocha globally, you can do this:

• Install Mocha locally to your project (npm install mocha --save-dev)

• Optionally install an assertion library (npm install chai --save-dev)

• In your package.json, add a section for scripts and target the mocha binary

"scripts": {
  "test": "node ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha"
}

• Put your spec files in a directory named /test in your root directory

• In your spec files, import the assertion library

var expect = require('chai').expect;

• You don't need to import mocha, run mocha.setup, or call mocha.run()

• Then run the script from your project root:

npm test

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE not printing

this statement

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('a.firstName' || 'a.lastName');

means to print the string as it is.. remove the quotes to get the values to be printed.So the correct syntax is

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(a.firstName || a.lastName);

Java 8 optional: ifPresent return object orElseThrow exception

I'd prefer mapping after making sure the value is available

private String getStringIfObjectIsPresent(Optional<Object> object) {
   Object ob = object.orElseThrow(MyCustomException::new);
    // do your mapping with ob
   String result = your-map-function(ob);
  return result;
}

or one liner

private String getStringIfObjectIsPresent(Optional<Object> object) {
   return your-map-function(object.orElseThrow(MyCustomException::new));
}

Calculating and printing the nth prime number

You are trying to do too much in the main method. You need to break this up into more manageable parts. Write a method boolean isPrime(int n) that returns true if a number is prime, and false otherwise. Then modify the main method to use isPrime.

What are the differences between numpy arrays and matrices? Which one should I use?

Just to add one case to unutbu's list.

One of the biggest practical differences for me of numpy ndarrays compared to numpy matrices or matrix languages like matlab, is that the dimension is not preserved in reduce operations. Matrices are always 2d, while the mean of an array, for example, has one dimension less.

For example demean rows of a matrix or array:

with matrix

>>> m = np.mat([[1,2],[2,3]])
>>> m
matrix([[1, 2],
        [2, 3]])
>>> mm = m.mean(1)
>>> mm
matrix([[ 1.5],
        [ 2.5]])
>>> mm.shape
(2, 1)
>>> m - mm
matrix([[-0.5,  0.5],
        [-0.5,  0.5]])

with array

>>> a = np.array([[1,2],[2,3]])
>>> a
array([[1, 2],
       [2, 3]])
>>> am = a.mean(1)
>>> am.shape
(2,)
>>> am
array([ 1.5,  2.5])
>>> a - am #wrong
array([[-0.5, -0.5],
       [ 0.5,  0.5]])
>>> a - am[:, np.newaxis]  #right
array([[-0.5,  0.5],
       [-0.5,  0.5]])

I also think that mixing arrays and matrices gives rise to many "happy" debugging hours. However, scipy.sparse matrices are always matrices in terms of operators like multiplication.

Determining Referer in PHP

What I have found best is a CSRF token and save it in the session for links where you need to verify the referrer.

So if you are generating a FB callback then it would look something like this:

$token = uniqid(mt_rand(), TRUE);
$_SESSION['token'] = $token;
$url = "http://example.com/index.php?token={$token}";

Then the index.php will look like this:

if(empty($_GET['token']) || $_GET['token'] !== $_SESSION['token'])
{
    show_404();
} 

//Continue with the rest of code

I do know of secure sites that do the equivalent of this for all their secure pages.

Filtering DataGridView without changing datasource

I found a simple way to fix that problem. At binding datagridview you've just done: datagridview.DataSource = dataSetName.Tables["TableName"];

If you code like:

datagridview.DataSource = dataSetName;
datagridview.DataMember = "TableName";

the datagridview will never load data again when filtering.

Python 3 Float Decimal Points/Precision

Try this:

num = input("Please input your number: ")

num = float("%0.2f" % (num))

print(num)

I believe this is a lot simpler. For 1 decimal place use %0.1f. For 2 decimal places use %0.2f and so on.

Or, if you want to reduce it all to 2 lines:

num = float("%0.2f" % (float(input("Please input your number: "))))
print(num)

How to get C# Enum description from value?

You can't easily do this in a generic way: you can only convert an integer to a specific type of enum. As Nicholas has shown, this is a trivial cast if you only care about one kind of enum, but if you want to write a generic method that can handle different kinds of enums, things get a bit more complicated. You want a method along the lines of:

public static string GetEnumDescription<TEnum>(int value)
{
  return GetEnumDescription((Enum)((TEnum)value));  // error!
}

but this results in a compiler error that "int can't be converted to TEnum" (and if you work around this, that "TEnum can't be converted to Enum"). So you need to fool the compiler by inserting casts to object:

public static string GetEnumDescription<TEnum>(int value)
{
  return GetEnumDescription((Enum)(object)((TEnum)(object)value));  // ugly, but works
}

You can now call this to get a description for whatever type of enum is at hand:

GetEnumDescription<MyEnum>(1);
GetEnumDescription<YourEnum>(2);

Linux command line howto accept pairing for bluetooth device without pin

Try setting security to none in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

http://linux.die.net/man/5/hcid.conf

This will probably only work for HCI devices (mouse, keyboard, spaceball, etc.). If you have a different kind of device, there's probably a different but similar setting to change.

Get attribute name value of <input>

If you're dealing with a single element preferably you should use the id selector as stated on GenericTypeTea answer and get the name like $("#id").attr("name");.

But if you want, as I did when I found this question, a list with all the input names of a specific class (in my example a list with the names of all unchecked checkboxes with .selectable-checkbox class) you could do something like:

var listOfUnchecked = $('.selectable-checkbox:unchecked').toArray().map(x=>x.name);

or

var listOfUnchecked = [];
$('.selectable-checkbox:unchecked').each(function () {
    listOfUnchecked.push($(this).attr('name'));
});

How to add header to a dataset in R?

in case you are interested in reading some data from a .txt file and only extract few columns of that file into a new .txt file with a customized header, the following code might be useful:

# input some data from 2 different .txt files:
civit_gps <- read.csv(file="/path2/gpsFile.csv",head=TRUE,sep=",")
civit_cam <- read.csv(file="/path2/cameraFile.txt",head=TRUE,sep=",")

# assign the name for the output file:
seqName <- "seq1_data.txt"

#=========================================================
# Extract data from imported files
#=========================================================
# From Camera:
frame_idx <- civit_cam$X.frame
qx        <- civit_cam$q.x.rad.
qy        <- civit_cam$q.y.rad.
qz        <- civit_cam$q.z.rad.
qw        <- civit_cam$q.w

# From GPS:
gpsT      <- civit_gps$X.gpsTime.sec.
latitude  <- civit_gps$Latitude.deg.
longitude <- civit_gps$Longitude.deg.
altitude  <- civit_gps$H.Ell.m.
heading   <- civit_gps$Heading.deg.
pitch     <- civit_gps$pitch.deg.
roll      <- civit_gps$roll.deg.
gpsTime_corr <- civit_gps[frame_idx,1]

#=========================================================
# Export new data into the output txt file
#=========================================================
myData <- data.frame(c(gpsTime_corr),
                     c(frame_idx),
                     c(qx),
                     c(qy),
                     c(qz),
                     c(qw))
# Write :
cat("#GPSTime,frameIdx,qx,qy,qz,qw\n", file=seqName)
write.table(myData, file = seqName,row.names=FALSE,col.names=FALSE,append=TRUE,sep = ",")

Of course, you should modify this sample script based on your own application.

Is it possible to serialize and deserialize a class in C++?

I suggest looking into Abstract factories which is often used as a basis for serialization

I have answered in another SO question about C++ factories. Please see there if a flexible factory is of interest. I try to describe an old way from ET++ to use macros which has worked great for me.

ET++ was a project to port old MacApp to C++ and X11. In the effort of it Eric Gamma etc started to think about Design Patterns. ET++ contained automatic ways for serialization and introspection at runtime.

Removing u in list

You don't "remove the character 'u' from a list", you encode Unicode strings. In fact the strings you have are perfectly fine for most uses; you will just need to encode them appropriately before outputting them.

How to send an HTTP request with a header parameter?

If it says the API key is listed as a header, more than likely you need to set it in the headers option of your http request. Normally something like this :

headers: {'Authorization': '[your API key]'}

Here is an example from another Question

$http({method: 'GET', url: '[the-target-url]', headers: {
  'Authorization': '[your-api-key]'}
});

Edit : Just saw you wanted to store the response in a variable. In this case I would probably just use AJAX. Something like this :

$.ajax({ 
   type : "GET", 
   url : "[the-target-url]", 
   beforeSend: function(xhr){xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', '[your-api-key]');},
   success : function(result) { 
       //set your variable to the result 
   }, 
   error : function(result) { 
     //handle the error 
   } 
 }); 

I got this from this question and I'm at work so I can't test it at the moment but looks solid

Edit 2: Pretty sure you should be able to use this line :

headers: {'Authorization': '[your API key]'},

instead of the beforeSend line in the first edit. This may be simpler for you

How do I put double quotes in a string in vba?

Another work-around is to construct a string with a temporary substitute character. Then you can use REPLACE to change each temp character to the double quote. I use tilde as the temporary substitute character.

Here is an example from a project I have been working on. This is a little utility routine to repair a very complicated formula if/when the cell gets stepped on accidentally. It is a difficult formula to enter into a cell, but this little utility fixes it instantly.

Sub RepairFormula()
Dim FormulaString As String

FormulaString = "=MID(CELL(~filename~,$A$1),FIND(~[~,CELL(~filename~,$A$1))+1,FIND(~]~, CELL(~filename~,$A$1))-FIND(~[~,CELL(~filename~,$A$1))-1)"
FormulaString = Replace(FormulaString, Chr(126), Chr(34)) 'this replaces every instance of the tilde with a double quote.
Range("WorkbookFileName").Formula = FormulaString

This is really just a simple programming trick, but it makes entering the formula in your VBA code pretty easy.

Best way to remove from NSMutableArray while iterating?

Either use loop counting down over indices:

for (NSInteger i = array.count - 1; i >= 0; --i) {

or make a copy with the objects you want to keep.

In particular, do not use a for (id object in array) loop or NSEnumerator.

In plain English, what does "git reset" do?

Please be aware, this is a simplified explanation intended as a first step in seeking to understand this complex functionality.

May be helpful for visual learners who want to visualise what their project state looks like after each of these commands:


For those who use Terminal with colour turned on (git config --global color.ui auto):

git reset --soft A and you will see B and C's stuff in green (staged and ready to commit)

git reset --mixed A (or git reset A) and you will see B and C's stuff in red (unstaged and ready to be staged (green) and then committed)

git reset --hard A and you will no longer see B and C's changes anywhere (will be as if they never existed)


Or for those who use a GUI program like 'Tower' or 'SourceTree'

git reset --soft A and you will see B and C's stuff in the 'staged files' area ready to commit

git reset --mixed A (or git reset A) and you will see B and C's stuff in the 'unstaged files' area ready to be moved to staged and then committed

git reset --hard A and you will no longer see B and C's changes anywhere (will be as if they never existed)

Why does Math.Round(2.5) return 2 instead of 3?

From MSDN:

By default, Math.Round uses MidpointRounding.ToEven. Most people are not familiar with "rounding to even" as the alternative, "rounding away from zero" is more commonly taught in school. .NET defaults to "Rounding to even" as it is statistically superior because it doesn't share the tendency of "rounding away from zero" to round up slightly more often than it rounds down (assuming the numbers being rounded tend to be positive.)

how to access iFrame parent page using jquery?

There are multiple ways to do these.

I) Get main parent directly.

for exa. i want to replace my child page to iframe then

var link = '<%=Page.ResolveUrl("~/Home/SubscribeReport")%>';
top.location.replace(link);

here top.location gets parent directly.

II) get parent one by one,

var element = $('.iframe:visible', window.parent.document);

here if you have more then one iframe, then specify active or visible one.

you also can do like these for getting further parents,

var masterParent = element.parent().parent().parent()

III) get parent by Identifier.

var myWindow = window.top.$("#Identifier")

Move UIView up when the keyboard appears in iOS

Simple solution without adding observer notification

-(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
{
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];

    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view

    CGRect rect = self.view.frame;

    if (movedUp)
    {
        // 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard
        // 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
        rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
        rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
    }
    else
    {
        // revert back to the normal state.
        rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
        rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
    }
    self.view.frame = rect;

    [UIView commitAnimations];
}


-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
     if  (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
        {
            [self setViewMovedUp:NO];
        }
}

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
        //move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
        if  (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
        {
            [self setViewMovedUp:YES];
        }
}

Where

#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0

Converting Epoch time into the datetime

If you have epoch in milliseconds a possible solution is convert to seconds:

Group by in LINQ

The following example uses the GroupBy method to return objects that are grouped by PersonID.

var results = persons.GroupBy(x => x.PersonID)
              .Select(x => (PersonID: x.Key, Cars: x.Select(p => p.car).ToList())
              ).ToList();

Or

 var results = persons.GroupBy(
               person => person.PersonID,
               (key, groupPerson) => (PersonID: key, Cars: groupPerson.Select(x => x.car).ToList()));

Or

 var results = from person in persons
               group person by person.PersonID into groupPerson
               select (PersonID: groupPerson.Key, Cars: groupPerson.Select(x => x.car).ToList());

Or you can use ToLookup, Basically ToLookup uses EqualityComparer<TKey>.Default to compare keys and do what you should do manually when using group by and to dictionary. i think it's excuted inmemory

 ILookup<int, string> results = persons.ToLookup(
            person => person.PersonID,
            person => person.car);

Raise to power in R

1: No difference. It is kept around to allow old S-code to continue to function. This is documented a "Note" in ?Math

2: Yes: But you already know it:

`^`(x,y)
#[1] 1024

In R the mathematical operators are really functions that the parser takes care of rearranging arguments and function names for you to simulate ordinary mathematical infix notation. Also documented at ?Math.

Edit: Let me add that knowing how R handles infix operators (i.e. two argument functions) is very important in understanding the use of the foundational infix "[[" and "["-functions as (functional) second arguments to lapply and sapply:

> sapply( list( list(1,2,3), list(4,3,6) ), "[[", 1)
[1] 1 4
> firsts <- function(lis) sapply(lis, "[[", 1)
> firsts( list( list(1,2,3), list(4,3,6) ) )
[1] 1 4

How can you undo the last git add?

python how to pad numpy array with zeros

Very simple, you create an array containing zeros using the reference shape:

result = np.zeros(b.shape)
# actually you can also use result = np.zeros_like(b) 
# but that also copies the dtype not only the shape

and then insert the array where you need it:

result[:a.shape[0],:a.shape[1]] = a

and voila you have padded it:

print(result)
array([[ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])

You can also make it a bit more general if you define where your upper left element should be inserted

result = np.zeros_like(b)
x_offset = 1  # 0 would be what you wanted
y_offset = 1  # 0 in your case
result[x_offset:a.shape[0]+x_offset,y_offset:a.shape[1]+y_offset] = a
result

array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.]])

but then be careful that you don't have offsets bigger than allowed. For x_offset = 2 for example this will fail.


If you have an arbitary number of dimensions you can define a list of slices to insert the original array. I've found it interesting to play around a bit and created a padding function that can pad (with offset) an arbitary shaped array as long as the array and reference have the same number of dimensions and the offsets are not too big.

def pad(array, reference, offsets):
    """
    array: Array to be padded
    reference: Reference array with the desired shape
    offsets: list of offsets (number of elements must be equal to the dimension of the array)
    """
    # Create an array of zeros with the reference shape
    result = np.zeros(reference.shape)
    # Create a list of slices from offset to offset + shape in each dimension
    insertHere = [slice(offset[dim], offset[dim] + array.shape[dim]) for dim in range(a.ndim)]
    # Insert the array in the result at the specified offsets
    result[insertHere] = a
    return result

And some test cases:

import numpy as np

# 1 Dimension
a = np.ones(2)
b = np.ones(5)
offset = [3]
pad(a, b, offset)

# 3 Dimensions

a = np.ones((3,3,3))
b = np.ones((5,4,3))
offset = [1,0,0]
pad(a, b, offset)

git remove merge commit from history

There are two ways to tackle this based on what you want:

Solution 1: Remove purple commits, preserving history (incase you want to roll back)

git revert -m 1 <SHA of merge>

-m 1 specifies which parent line to choose

Purple commits will still be there in history but since you have reverted, you will not see code from those commits.


Solution 2: Completely remove purple commits (disruptive change if repo is shared)

git rebase -i <SHA before branching out>

and delete (remove lines) corresponding to purple commits.

This would be less tricky if commits were not made after merge. Additional commits increase the chance of conflicts during revert/rebase.

Add Twitter Bootstrap icon to Input box

Bootstrap 4.x

With Bootstrap 4 (and Font Awesome), we still can use the input-group wrapper around our form-control element, and now we can use an input-group-append (or input-group-prepend) wrapper with an input-group-text to get the job done:

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" aria-describedby="my-search">
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <span class="input-group-text" id="my-search"><i class="fas fa-filter"></i></span>
  </div>
</div>

It will look something like this (thanks to KyleMit for the screenshot):

What are the time complexities of various data structures?

Arrays

  • Set, Check element at a particular index: O(1)
  • Searching: O(n) if array is unsorted and O(log n) if array is sorted and something like a binary search is used,
  • As pointed out by Aivean, there is no Delete operation available on Arrays. We can symbolically delete an element by setting it to some specific value, e.g. -1, 0, etc. depending on our requirements
  • Similarly, Insert for arrays is basically Set as mentioned in the beginning

ArrayList:

  • Add: Amortized O(1)
  • Remove: O(n)
  • Contains: O(n)
  • Size: O(1)

Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Doubly-Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Stack:

  • Push: O(1)
  • Pop: O(1)
  • Top: O(1)
  • Search (Something like lookup, as a special operation): O(n) (I guess so)

Queue/Deque/Circular Queue:

  • Insert: O(1)
  • Remove: O(1)
  • Size: O(1)

Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(n)

Red-Black Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(log n)

Heap/PriorityQueue (min/max):

  • Find Min/Find Max: O(1)
  • Insert: O(log n)
  • Delete Min/Delete Max: O(log n)
  • Extract Min/Extract Max: O(log n)
  • Lookup, Delete (if at all provided): O(n), we will have to scan all the elements as they are not ordered like BST

HashMap/Hashtable/HashSet:

  • Insert/Delete: O(1) amortized
  • Re-size/hash: O(n)
  • Contains: O(1)

How to view the committed files you have not pushed yet?

The previous answers are all good, but they all show origin/master. These days, following the best practices, I rarely work directly on a master branch, let alone from origin repo.

So if you are like me who work in a branch, here are tips:

  1. Say you are already on a branch. If not, git checkout that branch
  2. git log # to show a list of commit such as x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96, You need only the latest commit which comes first.
  3. git show --name-only x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96 # to show the files commited
  4. git show x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96 # show the detail diff of each changed file

Or more simply, just use HEAD:

  1. git show --name-only HEAD # to show a list of files committed
  2. git show HEAD # to show the detail diff.

    -- TRUE Procedure
END
ELSE BEGIN
    -- FALSE Procedure
END

Map isn't showing on Google Maps JavaScript API v3 when nested in a div tag

The problem is with percentage sizing. You are not defining the size of the parent div (the new one), so the browser can not report the size to the Google Maps API. Giving the wrapper div a specific size, or a percentage size if the size of its parent can be determined, will work.

See this explanation from Mike Williams' Google Maps API v2 tutorial:

If you try to use style="width:100%;height:100%" on your map div, you get a map div that has zero height. That's because the div tries to be a percentage of the size of the <body>, but by default the <body> has an indeterminate height.

There are ways to determine the height of the screen and use that number of pixels as the height of the map div, but a simple alternative is to change the <body> so that its height is 100% of the page. We can do this by applying style="height:100%" to both the <body> and the <html>. (We have to do it to both, otherwise the <body> tries to be 100% of the height of the document, and the default for that is an indeterminate height.)

Add the 100% size to html and body in your css

    html, body, #map-canvas {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
    }

Add it inline to any divs that don't have an id:

<body>
  <div style="height:100%; width: 100%;"> 
    <div id="map-canvas"></div>
  </div>
</body>

DataTable, How to conditionally delete rows

I don't have a windows box handy to try this but I think you can use a DataView and do something like so:

DataView view = new DataView(ds.Tables["MyTable"]);
view.RowFilter = "MyValue = 42"; // MyValue here is a column name

// Delete these rows.
foreach (DataRowView row in view)
{
  row.Delete();
}

I haven't tested this, though. You might give it a try.

Syntax for creating a two-dimensional array in Java

These types of arrays are known as jagged arrays in Java:

int[][] multD = new int[3][];
multD[0] = new int[3];
multD[1] = new int[2];
multD[2] = new int[5];

In this scenario each row of the array holds the different number of columns. In the above example, the first row will hold three columns, the second row will hold two columns, and the third row holds five columns. You can initialize this array at compile time like below:

 int[][] multD = {{2, 4, 1}, {6, 8}, {7, 3, 6, 5, 1}};

You can easily iterate all elements in your array:

for (int i = 0; i<multD.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j<multD[i].length; j++) {
        System.out.print(multD[i][j] + "\t");
    }
    System.out.println();
}
