Programs & Examples On #Base sdk

Xcode 'CodeSign error: code signing is required'

Be sure you code sign on the line "any iOS SDK" and not "Debug/Distribution/Release"

Here is exactly what I did :

Code signing identity -> don't code sign
* Debug -> don't code sign
** any iOS SDK -> [my developer profile]
* Distribution -> don't code sign
** any iOS SDK -> [my AppStore profile]
* Release -> don't code sign
** any iOS SDK -> [my AdHoc profile]

When I put my profiles one level above (at Debug/Ditribution/Release), it doesn't work for some reason (bug ?).

Hope it helps some of us !

How to cast ArrayList<> from List<>

Because in the first one , you're trying to convert a collection to an ArrayList. In the 2nd one , you just use the built in constructor of ArrayList

Set Font Color, Font Face and Font Size in PHPExcel

I recommend you start reading the documentation (4.6.18. Formatting cells). When applying a lot of formatting it's better to use applyFromArray() According to the documentation this method is also suppose to be faster when you're setting many style properties. There's an annex where you can find all the possible keys for this function.

This will work for you:

$phpExcel = new PHPExcel();

$styleArray = array(
    'font'  => array(
        'bold'  => true,
        'color' => array('rgb' => 'FF0000'),
        'size'  => 15,
        'name'  => 'Verdana'
    ));

$phpExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A1')->setValue('Some text');
$phpExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->applyFromArray($styleArray);

To apply font style to complete excel document:

 $styleArray = array(
   'font'  => array(
        'bold'  => true,
        'color' => array('rgb' => 'FF0000'),
        'size'  => 15,
        'name'  => 'Verdana'
    ));      
 $phpExcel->getDefaultStyle()
    ->applyFromArray($styleArray);

jquery click event not firing?

I was wasting my time on this for hours. Fortunately, I found the solution. If you are using bootstrap admin templates (AdminLTE), this problem may show up. Thing is we have to use adminLTE framework plugins.

example: ifChecked event:

$('input').on('ifChecked', function(event){
   alert(event.type + ' callback');
});

Sass calculate percent minus px

}

Error in data frame undefined columns selected

Are you meaning?

data2 <- data1[good,]

With

data1[good]

you're selecting columns in a wrong way (using a logical vector of complete rows).

Consider that parameter pollutant is not used; is it a column name that you want to extract? if so it should be something like

data2 <- data1[good, pollutant]

Furthermore consider that you have to rbind the data.frames inside the for loop, otherwise you get only the last data.frame (its completed.cases)

And last but not least, i'd prefer generating filenames eg with

id <- 1:322
paste0( directory, "/", gsub(" ", "0", sprintf("%3d",id)), ".csv")

A little modified chunk of ?sprintf

The string fmt (in our case "%3d") contains normal characters, which are passed through to the output string, and also conversion specifications which operate on the arguments provided through .... The allowed conversion specifications start with a % and end with one of the letters in the set aAdifeEgGosxX%. These letters denote the following types:

  • d: integer

Eg a more general example

    sprintf("I am %10d years old", 25)
[1] "I am         25 years old"
          ^^^^^^^^^^

Get and Set Screen Resolution

In C# this is how to get the resolution Screen:

button click or form load:

string screenWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width.ToString();
string screenHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height.ToString();
Label1.Text = ("Resolution: " + screenWidth + "x" + screenHeight);

Vertical divider doesn't work in Bootstrap 3

as i also wanted that same thing in a project u can do something like

HTML

<div class="col-md-6"></div>
<div class="divider-vertical"></div>
<div class="col-md-5"></div>

CSS

.divider-vertical {
    height: 100px;                   /* any height */
    border-left: 1px solid gray;     /* right or left is the same */
    float: left;                     /* so BS grid doesn't break */
    opacity: 0.5;                    /* optional */
    margin: 0 15px;                  /* optional */
}

LESS

.divider-vertical(@h:100, @opa:1, @mar:15) {
    height: unit(@h,px);             /* change it to rem,em,etc.. */
    border-left: 1px solid gray;
    float: left;
    opacity: @opa;
    margin: 0 unit(@mar,px);         /* change it to rem,em,etc.. */
}

'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable error

The error TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable means that you tried to call a numpy array as a function. We can reproduce the error like so in the repl:

In [16]: import numpy as np

In [17]: np.array([1,2,3])()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/user/<ipython-input-17-1abf8f3c8162> in <module>()
----> 1 np.array([1,2,3])()

TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable

If we are to assume that the error is indeed coming from the snippet of code that you posted (something that you should check,) then you must have reassigned either pd.rolling_mean or pd.rolling_std to a numpy array earlier in your code.

What I mean is something like this:

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: import pandas as pd

In [3]: pd.rolling_mean(np.array([1,2,3]), 20, min_periods=5) # Works
Out[3]: array([ nan,  nan,  nan])

In [4]: pd.rolling_mean = np.array([1,2,3])

In [5]: pd.rolling_mean(np.array([1,2,3]), 20, min_periods=5) # Doesn't work anymore...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/user/<ipython-input-5-f528129299b9> in <module>()
----> 1 pd.rolling_mean(np.array([1,2,3]), 20, min_periods=5) # Doesn't work anymore...

TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable

So, basically you need to search the rest of your codebase for pd.rolling_mean = ... and/or pd.rolling_std = ... to see where you may have overwritten them.


Also, if you'd like, you can put in reload(pd) just before your snippet, which should make it run by restoring the value of pd to what you originally imported it as, but I still highly recommend that you try to find where you may have reassigned the given functions.

Replacing H1 text with a logo image: best method for SEO and accessibility?

I do it mostly like the one above, but for accessibility reasons, I need to support the possibility of images being disabled in the browser. So, rather than indent the text from the link off the page, I cover it by absolutely positioning the <span> to the full width and height of the <a> and using z-index to place it above the link text in the stacking order.

The price is one empty <span>, but I'm willing to have it there for something as important as an <h1>.

<h1 id="logo">
  <a href="">Stack Overflow<span></span></a>
</h1>
#logo a {
   position:relative;
   display:block;
   width:[image width];
   height:[image height]; }

#logo a span {
   display:block;
   position:absolute;
   width:100%;
   height:100%;
   background:#ffffff url(image.png) no-repeat left top;
   z-index:100; /* Places <span> on top of <a> text */  }

Trigger a button click with JavaScript on the Enter key in a text box

Nobody noticed the html attibute "accesskey" which is available since a while.

This is a no javascript way to keyboard shortcuts stuffs.

The accesskey attributes shortcuts on MDN

Intented to be used like this. The html attribute itself is enough, howewer we can change the placeholder or other indicator depending of the browser and os. The script is a untested scratch approach to give an idea. You may want to use a browser library detector like the tiny bowser

Quick way to retrieve user information Active Directory

Well, if you know where your user lives in the AD hierarchy (e.g. quite possibly in the "Users" container, if it's a small network), you could also bind to the user account directly, instead of searching for it.

DirectoryEntry deUser = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://cn=John Doe,cn=Users,dc=yourdomain,dc=com");

if (deUser != null)
{
  ... do something with your user
}

And if you're on .NET 3.5 already, you could even use the vastly expanded System.DirectorySrevices.AccountManagement namespace with strongly typed classes for each of the most common AD objects:

// bind to your domain
PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "LDAP://dc=yourdomain,dc=com");

// find the user by identity (or many other ways)
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, "cn=John Doe");

There's loads of information out there on System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - check out this excellent article on MSDN by Joe Kaplan and Ethan Wilansky on the topic.

How to add data into ManyToMany field?

In case someone else ends up here struggling to customize admin form Many2Many saving behaviour, you can't call self.instance.my_m2m.add(obj) in your ModelForm.save override, as ModelForm.save later populates your m2m from self.cleaned_data['my_m2m'] which overwrites your changes. Instead call:

my_m2ms = list(self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'])
my_m2ms.extend(my_custom_new_m2ms)
self.cleaned_data['my_m2ms'] = my_m2ms

(It is fine to convert the incoming QuerySet to a list - the ManyToManyField does that anyway.)

Reading from a text file and storing in a String

How can we read data from a text file and store in a String Variable?

Err, read data from the file and store it in a String variable. It's just code. Not a real question so far.

Is it possible to pass the filename in a method and it would return the String which is the text from the file.

Yes it's possible. It's also a very bad idea. You should deal with the file a part at a time, for example a line at a time. Reading the entire file into memory before you process any of it adds latency; wastes memory; and assumes that the entire file will fit into memory. One day it won't. You don't want to do it this way.

Image scaling causes poor quality in firefox/internet explorer but not chrome

It seems that you are right. No option scales the image better:
http://www.maxrev.de/html/image-scaling.html

I've tested FF14, IE9, OP12 and GC21. Only GC has a better scaling that can be deactivated through image-rendering: -webkit-optimize-contrast. All other browsers have no/poor scaling.

Screenshot of the different output: http://www.maxrev.de/files/2012/08/screenshot_interpolation_jquery_animate.png

Update 2017

Meanwhile some more browsers support smooth scaling:

  • ME38 (Microsoft Edge) has good scaling. It can't be disabled and it works for JPEG and PNG, but not for GIF.

  • FF51 (Regarding @karthik 's comment since FF21) has good scaling that can be disabled through the following settings:

    image-rendering: optimizeQuality
    image-rendering: optimizeSpeed
    image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges
    

    Note: Regarding MDN the optimizeQuality setting is a synonym for auto (but auto does not disable smooth scaling):

    The values optimizeQuality and optimizeSpeed present in early draft (and coming from its SVG counterpart) are defined as synonyms for the auto value.

  • OP43 behaves like GC (not suprising as it is based on Chromium since 2013) and its still this option that disables smooth scaling:

    image-rendering: -webkit-optimize-contrast
    

No support in IE9-IE11. The -ms-interpolation-mode setting worked only in IE6-IE8, but was removed in IE9.

P.S. Smooth scaling is done by default. This means no image-rendering option is needed!

Syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'

The first problem with your script is that you have to put a space after the [.
Type type [ to see what is really happening. It should tell you that [ is an alias to test command, so [ ] in bash is not some special syntax for conditionals, it is just a command on its own. What you should prefer in bash is [[ ]]. This common pitfall is greatly explained here and here.

Another problem is that you didn't quote "$f" which might become a problem later. This is explained here

You can use arithmetic expressions in if, so you don't have to use [ ] or [[ ]] at all in some cases. More info here

Also there's no need to use \n in every echo, because echo places newlines by default. If you want TWO newlines to appear, then use echo -e 'start\n' or echo $'start\n' . This $'' syntax is explained here

To make it completely perfect you should place -- before arbitrary filenames, otherwise rm might treat it as a parameter if the file name starts with dashes. This is explained here.

So here's your script:

#!/bin/bash
echo "start"
for f in *.jpg
do
    fname="${f##*/}"
    echo "fname is $fname"
    if (( fname % 2 == 1 )); then
        echo "removing $fname"
        rm -- "$f"
    fi
done

Is it possible to 'prefill' a google form using data from a google spreadsheet?

You can create a pre-filled form URL from within the Form Editor, as described in the documentation for Drive Forms. You'll end up with a URL like this, for example:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/--form-id--/viewform?entry.726721210=Mike+Jones&entry.787184751=1975-05-09&entry.1381372492&entry.960923899

buildUrls()

In this example, question 1, "Name", has an ID of 726721210, while question 2, "Birthday" is 787184751. Questions 3 and 4 are blank.

You could generate the pre-filled URL by adapting the one provided through the UI to be a template, like this:

function buildUrls() {
  var template = "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/--form-id--/viewform?entry.726721210=##Name##&entry.787184751=##Birthday##&entry.1381372492&entry.960923899";
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Sheet1");  // Email, Name, Birthday
  var data = ss.getDataRange().getValues();

  // Skip headers, then build URLs for each row in Sheet1.
  for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++ ) {
    var url = template.replace('##Name##',escape(data[i][1]))
                      .replace('##Birthday##',data[i][2].yyyymmdd());  // see yyyymmdd below
    Logger.log(url);  // You could do something more useful here.
  }
};

This is effective enough - you could email the pre-filled URL to each person, and they'd have some questions already filled in.

betterBuildUrls()

Instead of creating our template using brute force, we can piece it together programmatically. This will have the advantage that we can re-use the code without needing to remember to change the template.

Each question in a form is an item. For this example, let's assume the form has only 4 questions, as you've described them. Item [0] is "Name", [1] is "Birthday", and so on.

We can create a form response, which we won't submit - instead, we'll partially complete the form, only to get the pre-filled form URL. Since the Forms API understands the data types of each item, we can avoid manipulating the string format of dates and other types, which simplifies our code somewhat.

(EDIT: There's a more general version of this in How to prefill Google form checkboxes?)

/**
 * Use Form API to generate pre-filled form URLs
 */
function betterBuildUrls() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
  var data = ss.getDataRange().getValues();  // Data for pre-fill

  var formUrl = ss.getFormUrl();             // Use form attached to sheet
  var form = FormApp.openByUrl(formUrl);
  var items = form.getItems();

  // Skip headers, then build URLs for each row in Sheet1.
  for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++ ) {
    // Create a form response object, and prefill it
    var formResponse = form.createResponse();

    // Prefill Name
    var formItem = items[0].asTextItem();
    var response = formItem.createResponse(data[i][1]);
    formResponse.withItemResponse(response);

    // Prefill Birthday
    formItem = items[1].asDateItem();
    response = formItem.createResponse(data[i][2]);
    formResponse.withItemResponse(response);

    // Get prefilled form URL
    var url = formResponse.toPrefilledUrl();
    Logger.log(url);  // You could do something more useful here.
  }
};

yymmdd Function

Any date item in the pre-filled form URL is expected to be in this format: yyyy-mm-dd. This helper function extends the Date object with a new method to handle the conversion.

When reading dates from a spreadsheet, you'll end up with a javascript Date object, as long as the format of the data is recognizable as a date. (Your example is not recognizable, so instead of May 9th 1975 you could use 5/9/1975.)

// From http://blog.justin.kelly.org.au/simple-javascript-function-to-format-the-date-as-yyyy-mm-dd/
Date.prototype.yyyymmdd = function() {
  var yyyy = this.getFullYear().toString();                                    
  var mm = (this.getMonth()+1).toString(); // getMonth() is zero-based         
  var dd  = this.getDate().toString();             

  return yyyy + '-' + (mm[1]?mm:"0"+mm[0]) + '-' + (dd[1]?dd:"0"+dd[0]);
};

Disable spell-checking on HTML textfields

Update: As suggested by a commenter (additional credit to How can I disable the spell checker on text inputs on the iPhone), use this to handle all desktop and mobile browsers.

<tag autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false"/>

Original answer: Javascript cannot override user settings, so unless you use another mechanism other than textfields, this is not (or shouldn't be) possible.

How do I display a ratio in Excel in the format A:B?

You are looking for the greatest common divisor (GCD).

You can calculate it recursively in VBA, like this:

Function GCD(numerator As Integer, denominator As Integer)
  If denominator = 0 Then
    GCD = numerator
  Else
    GCD = GCD(denominator, numerator Mod denominator)
  End If
End Function

And use it in your sheet like this:

   ColumnA   ColumnB   ColumnC
1  33        11        =A1/GCD(A1; B1) & ":" & B1/GCD(A1; B1)
2  25         5        =A2/GCD(A2; B2) & ":" & B2/GCD(A2; B2)

It is recommendable to store the result of the function call in a hidden column and use this result to avoid calling the function twice per row:

   ColumnA   ColumnB   ColumnC        ColumnD
1  33        11        =GCD(A1; B1)   =A1/C1 & ":" & B1/C1
2  25         5        =GCD(A2; B2)   =A2/C2 & ":" & B2/C2

Text border using css (border around text)

Sure. You could use CSS3 text-shadow :

How can I extract a predetermined range of lines from a text file on Unix?

I was looking for an answer to this but I had to end up writing my own code which worked. None of the answers above were satisfactory. Consider you have very large file and have certain line numbers that you want to print out but the numbers are not in order. You can do the following:

My relatively large file for letter in {a..k} ; do echo $letter; done | cat -n > myfile.txt

 1  a
 2  b
 3  c
 4  d
 5  e
 6  f
 7  g
 8  h
 9  i
10  j
11  k

Specific line numbers I want: shuf -i 1-11 -n 4 > line_numbers_I_want.txt

 10
 11
 4
 9

To print these line numbers, do the following. awk '{system("head myfile.txt -n " $0 " | tail -n 1")}' line_numbers_I_want.txt

What the above does is to head the n line then take the last line using tail

If you want your line numbers in order, sort ( is -n numeric sort) first then get the lines.

cat line_numbers_I_want.txt | sort -n | awk '{system("head myfile.txt -n " $0 " | tail -n 1")}'

 4  d
 9  i
10  j
11  k

How do I pass a datetime value as a URI parameter in asp.net mvc?

The colon in your first example's url is going to cause an error (Bad Request) so you can't do exactly what you are looking for. Other than that, using a DateTime as an action parameter is most definitely possible.

If you are using the default routing, this 3rd portion of your example url is going to pickup the DateTime value as the {id} parameter. So your Action method might look like this:

public ActionResult Index(DateTime? id)
{
    return View();
}

You'll probably want to use a Nullable Datetime as I have, so if this parameter isn't included it won't cause an exception. Of course, if you don't want it to be named "id" then add another route entry replacing {id} with your name of choice.

As long as the text in the url will parse to a valid DateTime value, this is all you have to do. Something like the following works fine and will be picked up in your Action method without any errors:

<%=Html.ActionLink("link", "Index", new { id = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy") }) %>

The catch, in this case of course, is that I did not include the time. I'm not sure there are any ways to format a (valid) date string with the time not represented with colons, so if you MUST include the time in the url, you may need to use your own format and parse the result back into a DateTime manually. Say we replace the colon with a "!" in the actionlink: new { id = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy HH!mm") }.

Your action method will fail to parse this as a date so the best bet in this case would probably to accept it as a string:

public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
    DateTime myDate;
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
    {
        myDate = DateTime.Parse(id.Replace("!", ":"));
    }
    return View();
}

Edit: As noted in the comments, there are some other solutions arguably better than mine. When I originally wrote this answer I believe I was trying to preserve the essence of the date time format as best possible, but clearly URL encoding it would be a more proper way of handling this. +1 to Vlad's comment.

How to scale images to screen size in Pygame

You can scale the image with pygame.transform.scale:

import pygame
picture = pygame.image.load(filename)
picture = pygame.transform.scale(picture, (1280, 720))

You can then get the bounding rectangle of picture with

rect = picture.get_rect()

and move the picture with

rect = rect.move((x, y))
screen.blit(picture, rect)

where screen was set with something like

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1600, 900))

To allow your widgets to adjust to various screen sizes, you could make the display resizable:

import os
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500), HWSURFACE | DOUBLEBUF | RESIZABLE)
pic = pygame.image.load("image.png")
screen.blit(pygame.transform.scale(pic, (500, 500)), (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()
while True:
    pygame.event.pump()
    event = pygame.event.wait()
    if event.type == QUIT:
        pygame.display.quit()
    elif event.type == VIDEORESIZE:
        screen = pygame.display.set_mode(
            event.dict['size'], HWSURFACE | DOUBLEBUF | RESIZABLE)
        screen.blit(pygame.transform.scale(pic, event.dict['size']), (0, 0))
        pygame.display.flip()

Steps to upload an iPhone application to the AppStore

This arstechnica article describes the basic steps:

Start by visiting the program portal and make sure that your developer certificate is up to date. It expires every six months and, if you haven't requested that a new one be issued, you cannot submit software to App Store. For most people experiencing the "pink upload of doom," though, their certificates are already valid. What next?

Open your Xcode project and check that you've set the active SDK to one of the device choices, like Device - 2.2. Accidentally leaving the build settings to Simulator can be a big reason for the pink rejection. And that happens more often than many developers would care to admit.

Next, make sure that you've chosen a build configuration that uses your distribution (not your developer) certificate. Check this by double-clicking on your target in the Groups & Files column on the left of the project window. The Target Info window will open. Click the Build tab and review your Code Signing Identity. It should be iPhone Distribution: followed by your name or company name.

You may also want to confirm your application identifier in the Properties tab. Most likely, you'll have set the identifier properly when debugging with your developer certificate, but it never hurts to check.

The top-left of your project window also confirms your settings and configuration. It should read something like "Device - 2.2 | Distribution". This shows you the active SDK and configuration.

If your settings are correct but you still aren't getting that upload finished properly, clean your builds. Choose Build > Clean (Command-Shift-K) and click Clean. Alternatively, you can manually trash the build folder in your Project from Finder. Once you've cleaned, build again fresh.

If this does not produce an app that when zipped properly loads to iTunes Connect, quit and relaunch Xcode. I'm not kidding. This one simple trick solves more signing problems and "pink rejections of doom" than any other solution already mentioned.

net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE in Chrome

I was having this issue when testing my Cordova app on android. It just so happens that this android device does not persist its date, and will reset back to its factory date somehow. The API that it calls has a cert that is valid starting this year, while the device date after bootup is in 2017. For now, I have to adb shell and change the date manually.

Reading file input from a multipart/form-data POST

You may take a look at the following blog post which illustrates a technique that could be used to parse multipart/form-data on the server using the Multipart Parser:

public void Upload(Stream stream)
{
    MultipartParser parser = new MultipartParser(stream);
    if (parser.Success)
    {
        // Save the file
        SaveFile(parser.Filename, parser.ContentType, parser.FileContents);
    }
}

Another possibility is to enable aspnet compatibility and use HttpContext.Current.Request but that's not a very WCFish way.

Matplotlib tight_layout() doesn't take into account figure suptitle

Tight layout doesn't work with suptitle, but constrained_layout does. See this question Improve subplot size/spacing with many subplots in matplotlib

I found adding the subplots at once looked better, i.e.

fig, axs = plt.subplots(rows, cols, constrained_layout=True)

# then iterating over the axes to fill in the plots

But it can also be added at the point the figure is created:

fig = plt.figure(constrained_layout=True)

ax1 = fig.add_subplot(cols, rows, 1)
# etc

Note: To make my subplots closer together, I was also using

fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.05)

and constrained_layout doesn't work with this :(

INSERT INTO ... SELECT FROM ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

Although I am very late to this but after seeing some legitimate questions for those who wanted to use INSERT-SELECT query with GROUP BY clause, I came up with the work around for this.

Taking further the answer of Marcus Adams and accounting GROUP BY in it, this is how I would solve the problem by using Subqueries in the FROM Clause

INSERT INTO lee(exp_id, created_by, location, animal, starttime, endtime, entct, 
                inact, inadur, inadist, 
                smlct, smldur, smldist, 
                larct, lardur, lardist, 
                emptyct, emptydur)
SELECT sb.id, uid, sb.location, sb.animal, sb.starttime, sb.endtime, sb.entct, 
       sb.inact, sb.inadur, sb.inadist, 
       sb.smlct, sb.smldur, sb.smldist, 
       sb.larct, sb.lardur, sb.lardist, 
       sb.emptyct, sb.emptydur
FROM

       larct, lardur, lardist,

CodeIgniter: How To Do a Select (Distinct Fieldname) MySQL Query

Since the count is the intended final value, in your query pass

$this->db->distinct();
$this->db->select('accessid');
$this->db->where('record', $record); 
$query = $this->db->get()->result_array();
return count($query);

The count the retuned value

How to override the [] operator in Python?

You need to use the __getitem__ method.

class MyClass:
    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return key * 2

myobj = MyClass()
myobj[3] #Output: 6

And if you're going to be setting values you'll need to implement the __setitem__ method too, otherwise this will happen:

>>> myobj[5] = 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: MyClass instance has no attribute '__setitem__'

PHP namespaces and "use"

If you need to order your code into namespaces, just use the keyword namespace:

file1.php

namespace foo\bar;

In file2.php

$obj = new \foo\bar\myObj();

You can also use use. If in file2 you put

use foo\bar as mypath;

you need to use mypath instead of bar anywhere in the file:

$obj  = new mypath\myObj();

Using use foo\bar; is equal to use foo\bar as bar;.

No shadow by default on Toolbar?

For 5.0 + : You can use AppBarLayout with Toolbar. AppBarLayout has "elevation" attribure.

 <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/appbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:elevation="4dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <include layout="@layout/toolbar" />
    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

Interop type cannot be embedded

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4EA929B78B5718238625789D0071F307

This error occurs because the default value is true for the Embed Interop Types property of the TestStand API Interop assembly referenced in the new project. To resolve this error, change the value of the Embed Interop Types property to False by following these steps: Select the TestStand Interop Assembly reference in the references section of your project in the Solution Explorer. Find the Embed Interop Types property in the Property Browser, and change the value to False

Where do I find some good examples for DDD?

Not source projects per say but I stumbled upon Parleys.com which has a few good videos that cover DDD quite well (requires flash):

I found these much more helpful than the almost non-existent DDD examples that are currently available.

Django: Model Form "object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'"

I would write the code like this:

def search_book(request):
    form = SearchForm(request.POST or None)
    if request.method == "POST" and form.is_valid():
        stitle = form.cleaned_data['title']
        sauthor = form.cleaned_data['author']
        scategory = form.cleaned_data['category']
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
    return render_to_response("books/create.html", {
        "form": form,
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Pretty much like the documentation.

Reverting to a previous revision using TortoiseSVN

I have used the same instructions Stefan used, taken from Tortoise website.

But it's important to click COMMIT right after. I was getting crazy until I realized that.

If you need to make an older revision your head revision do the following:

  1. Select the file or folder in which you need to revert the changes. If you want to revert all changes, this should be the top level folder.

  2. Select TortoiseSVN ? Show Log to display a list of revisions. You may need to use Show All or Next 100 to show the revision(s) you are interested in.

  3. Right click on the selected revision, then select Context Menu ? Revert to this revision. This will discard all changes after the selected revision.

  4. Make a commit.

No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts. -- Netbeans, Postgresql 8.4 and Glassfish

If you are using Primefaces, you should insert inside the the .xhtml file so it converts correctly to java integer. For example:

<p:selectCheckboxMenu 
    id="frameSelect"
    widgetVar="frameSelectBox"
    filter="true"
    filterMatchMode="contains"
    label="#{messages['frame']}"
    value="#{platform.frameBean.selectedFramesTypesList}"
    converter="javax.faces.Integer">
    <f:selectItems
        value="#{platform.frameBean.framesTypesList}"
        var="area"
        itemLabel="#{area}"
        itemValue="#{area}" />
</p:selectCheckboxMenu>

R : how to simply repeat a command?

You could use replicate or sapply:

R> colMeans(replicate(10000, sample(100, size=815, replace=TRUE, prob=NULL))) R> sapply(seq_len(10000), function(...) mean(sample(100, size=815, replace=TRUE, prob=NULL))) 

replicate is a wrapper for the common use of sapply for repeated evaluation of an expression (which will usually involve random number generation).

Two way sync with rsync

Try Unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Syntax: unison dirA/ dirB/

Unison asks what to do when files are different, but you can automate the process by using the following which accepts default (nonconflicting) options:

unison -auto dirA/ dirB/

unison -batch dirA/ dirB/ asks no questions at all, and writes to output how many files were ignored (because they conflicted).

How to get the employees with their managers

(SELECT ename FROM EMP WHERE empno = mgr)

There are no records in EMP that meet this criteria.

You need to self-join to get this relation.

SELECT e.ename AS Employee, e.empno, m.ename AS Manager, m.empno
FROM EMP AS e LEFT OUTER JOIN EMP AS m
ON e.mgr =m.empno;

EDIT:

The answer you selected will not list your president because it's an inner join. I'm thinking you'll be back when you discover your output isn't what your (I suspect) homework assignment required. Here's the actual test case:

> select * from emp;

 empno | ename |    job    | deptno | mgr  
-------+-------+-----------+--------+------
  7839 | king  | president |     10 |     
  7698 | blake | manager   |     30 | 7839
(2 rows)

> SELECT e.ename employee, e.empno, m.ename manager, m.empno
FROM emp AS e LEFT OUTER JOIN emp AS m
ON e.mgr =m.empno;

 employee | empno | manager | empno 
----------+-------+---------+-------
 king     |  7839 |         |      
 blake    |  7698 | king    |  7839
(2 rows)

The difference is that an outer join returns all the rows. An inner join will produce the following:

> SELECT e.ename, e.empno, m.ename as manager, e.mgr
FROM emp e, emp m
WHERE e.mgr = m.empno;

 ename | empno | manager | mgr  
-------+-------+---------+------
 blake |  7698 | king    | 7839
(1 row)

what is the difference between ajax and jquery and which one is better?

Ajax is a way of using Javascript for communicating with serverside without loading the page over again. jQuery uses ajax for many of its functions, but it nothing else than a library that provides easier functionality.

With jQuery you dont have to think about creating xml objects ect ect, everything is done for you, but with straight up javascript ajax you need to program every single step of the ajax call.

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name is not bound in this Context. Unable to find

In Tomcat 8.0.44 I did this: create the JNDI on Tomcat's server.xml between the tag "GlobalNamingResources" For example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<GlobalNamingResources>_x000D_
    <!-- Editable user database that can also be used by_x000D_
         UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users_x000D_
    -->_x000D_
  <!-- Other previus resouces -->_x000D_
    <Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" global="jdbc/your_jndi" _x000D_
    maxActive="100" maxIdle="20" maxWait="1000" minIdle="5" name="jdbc/your_jndi" password="your_password" _x000D_
    type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/your_database?user=postgres" username="database_username"/>_x000D_
  </GlobalNamingResources>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_ In your web application you need a link to that resource (ResourceLink):

project explore

_x000D_
_x000D_
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>_x000D_
<Context reloadable="true" >_x000D_
   <ResourceLink name="jdbc/your_jndi"_x000D_
      global="jdbc/your_jndi"_x000D_
      auth="Container"_x000D_
      type="javax.sql.DataSource" />_x000D_
</Context>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

So if you're using Hiberte with spring you can tell to him to use the JNDI in your persistence.xml

persistence.xml location

_x000D_
_x000D_
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>_x000D_
<persistence xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"_x000D_
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"_x000D_
 version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">_x000D_
 <persistence-unit name="UNIT_NAME" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">_x000D_
  <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>_x000D_
_x000D_
  <properties>_x000D_
   <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver"   value="org.postgresql.Driver" />_x000D_
   <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL82Dialect" />_x000D_
   _x000D_
   <!--  <property name="hibernate.jdbc.time_zone" value="UTC"/>-->_x000D_
   <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />_x000D_
   <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />_x000D_
   <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>     _x000D_
  </properties>_x000D_
 </persistence-unit>_x000D_
</persistence>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

So in your spring.xml you can do that:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<bean id="postGresDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">_x000D_
   <property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/your_jndi" />_x000D_
  </bean>_x000D_
     _x000D_
        <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">_x000D_
              <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="UNIT_NAME" />_x000D_
              <property name="dataSource" ref="postGresDataSource" />_x000D_
              <property name="jpaVendorAdapter"> _x000D_
                 <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter" />_x000D_
              </property>_x000D_
        </bean>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_ Look above that entityManagerFactory bean refers to your UNIT_NAME configured at persistence xml and the bean postGresDataSource has a property that points to your JNDI resource in Tomcat.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/your_jndi" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In this example I used spring with xml but you can do this programmaticaly if you prefer.

That's it, I hope helped.

SVN repository backup strategies

I use svnsync, which sets up a remote server as a mirror/slave. We had a server go down two weeks ago, and I was able to switch the slave into primary position quite easily (only had to reset the UUID on the slave repository to the original).

Another benefit is that the sync can be run by a middle-man, rather than as a task on either server. I've had a client to two VPNs sync a repository between them.

How to disable sort in DataGridView?

foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns)
{
    column.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable;
}

JavaScript console.log causes error: "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated..."

For me, the problem was that in an OK request, I expected the ajax response to be a well formatted HTML string such as a table, but in this case, the server was experiencing a problem with the request, redirecting to an error page, and was therefore returning back the HTML code of the error page (which had a <script tag somewhere. I console logged the ajax response and that's when I realized it was not what I was expecting, then proceeded to do my debugging.

How do I write to a Python subprocess' stdin?

You can provide a file-like object to the stdin argument of subprocess.call().

The documentation for the Popen object applies here.

To capture the output, you should instead use subprocess.check_output(), which takes similar arguments. From the documentation:

>>> subprocess.check_output(
...     "ls non_existent_file; exit 0",
...     stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
...     shell=True)
'ls: non_existent_file: No such file or directory\n'

Basic example for sharing text or image with UIActivityViewController in Swift

I found this to work flawlessly if you want to share whole screen.

@IBAction func shareButton(_ sender: Any) {

    let bounds = UIScreen.main.bounds
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(bounds.size, true, 0.0)
    self.view.drawHierarchy(in: bounds, afterScreenUpdates: false)
    let img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [img!], applicationActivities: nil)
    activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view
    self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

What can MATLAB do that R cannot do?

Short answer: no, of course not. While any set of mathematical software packages will have their overlaps, they will always have biases towards certain problem domains. These biases figure strongly in whether or not you want to use one of these packages.

An example of what MATLAB can do that R cannot is interface to real-time hardware for signal processing/acquisition and control. A Simulink model in MATLAB can be configured both to run in simulation on your machine before compiling the code to execute on a real system taking measured data as input and calculating appropriate outputs (what was before a simulation of a control system is now a fully functioning one). With the appropriate hardware board in your machine, you can run real-time control systems through a PC.

R, by contrast, seems firmly set in the role of statistics, where I'm sure it out-performs what MATLAB can do. Similarly, Mathematica is better than MATLAB at symbolic maths; Python is better than MATLAB at general programming; gnuplot is better than all of them at actually creating graphs (er, I assume); and so on.

htaccess "order" Deny, Allow, Deny

Not answering OPs question directly, but for the people finding this question in search of clarity on what's the difference between allow,deny and deny,allow:

Read the comma as a "but".

  • allow but deny: whitelist with exceptions.
    everything is denied, except items on the allow list, except items on the deny list
  • deny but allow: blacklist with exceptions.
    everything is allowed, except items on the deny list, except items on the allow list

allow only one country access, but exclude proxies within this country

OP needed a whitelist with exceptions, therefore allow,deny instead of deny,allow

Triggering a checkbox value changed event in DataGridView

I had the same issue, but came up with a different solution:

If you make the column or the whole grid "Read Only" so that when the user clicks the checkbox it doesn't change value.

Fortunately, the DataGridView.CellClick event is still fired. In my case I do the following in the cellClick event:

if (jM_jobTasksDataGridView.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].CellType.Name == "DataGridViewCheckBoxCell")

But you could check the column name if you have more than one checkbox column.

I then do all the modification / saving of the dataset myself.

Powershell: count members of a AD group

In Powershell, you'll need to import the active directory module, then use the get-adgroupmember, and then measure-object. For example, to get the number of users belonging to the group "domain users", do the following:

Import-Module activedirecotry
Get-ADGroupMember "domain users" | Measure-Object

When entering the group name after "Get-ADGroupMember", if the name is a single string with no spaces, then no quotes are necessary. If the group name has spaces in it, use the quotes around it.

The output will look something like:

Count    : 12345
Average  :
Sum      :
Maximum  :
Minimum  :
Property :

Note - importing the active directory module may be redundant if you're already using PowerShell for other AD admin tasks.

Finding the median of an unsorted array

Quickselect works in O(n), this is also used in the partition step of Quicksort.

JQuery Ajax Post results in 500 Internal Server Error

I suspect that the server method is throwing an exception after it passes your breakpoint. Use Firefox/Firebug or the IE8 developer tools to look at the actual response you are getting from the server. If there has been an exception you'll get the YSOD html, which should help you figure out where to look.

One more thing -- your data property should be {} not "{}", the former is an empty object while the latter is a string that is invalid as a query parameter. Better yet, just leave it out if you aren't passing any data.

Is there any way to call a function periodically in JavaScript?

Since you want the function to be executed periodically, use setInterval

CodeIgniter Active Record not equal

According to the manual this should work:

Custom key/value method:

You can include an operator in the first parameter in order to control the comparison:

$this->db->where('name !=', $name);
$this->db->where('id <', $id);
Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' AND id < 45

Search for $this->db->where(); and look at item #2.

Tomcat: LifecycleException when deploying

I done in same way and its working now. Actually web.xml file having wrong url-pattern. you can remove one url-pattern either annotation form servlet or web.xml.It worked for me.

std::wstring VS std::string

  1. When you want to have wide characters stored in your string. wide depends on the implementation. Visual C++ defaults to 16 bit if i remember correctly, while GCC defaults depending on the target. It's 32 bits long here. Please note wchar_t (wide character type) has nothing to do with unicode. It's merely guaranteed that it can store all the members of the largest character set that the implementation supports by its locales, and at least as long as char. You can store unicode strings fine into std::string using the utf-8 encoding too. But it won't understand the meaning of unicode code points. So str.size() won't give you the amount of logical characters in your string, but merely the amount of char or wchar_t elements stored in that string/wstring. For that reason, the gtk/glib C++ wrapper folks have developed a Glib::ustring class that can handle utf-8.

    If your wchar_t is 32 bits long, then you can use utf-32 as an unicode encoding, and you can store and handle unicode strings using a fixed (utf-32 is fixed length) encoding. This means your wstring's s.size() function will then return the right amount of wchar_t elements and logical characters.

  2. Yes, char is always at least 8 bit long, which means it can store all ASCII values.
  3. Yes, all major compilers support it.

WebAPI Multiple Put/Post parameters

If attribute routing is being used, you can use the [FromUri] and [FromBody] attributes.

Example:

[HttpPost()]
[Route("api/products/{id:int}")]
public HttpResponseMessage AddProduct([FromUri()] int id,  [FromBody()] Product product)
{
  // Add product
}

Fastest way to duplicate an array in JavaScript - slice vs. 'for' loop

Take a look at: link. It's not about speed, but comfort. Besides as you can see you can only use slice(0) on primitive types.

To make an independent copy of an array rather than a copy of the refence to it, you can use the array slice method.

Example:

To make an independent copy of an array rather than a copy of the refence to it, you can use the array slice method.

var oldArray = ["mip", "map", "mop"];
var newArray = oldArray.slice();

To copy or clone an object :

function cloneObject(source) {
    for (i in source) {
        if (typeof source[i] == 'source') {
            this[i] = new cloneObject(source[i]);
        }
        else{
            this[i] = source[i];
  }
    }
}

var obj1= {bla:'blabla',foo:'foofoo',etc:'etc'};
var obj2= new cloneObject(obj1);

How can I insert data into a MySQL database?

Here is OOP:

import MySQLdb


class Database:

    host = 'localhost'
    user = 'root'
    password = '123'
    db = 'test'

    def __init__(self):
        self.connection = MySQLdb.connect(self.host, self.user, self.password, self.db)
        self.cursor = self.connection.cursor()

    def insert(self, query):
        try:
            self.cursor.execute(query)
            self.connection.commit()
        except:
            self.connection.rollback()



    def query(self, query):
        cursor = self.connection.cursor( MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor )
        cursor.execute(query)

        return cursor.fetchall()

    def __del__(self):
        self.connection.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":

    db = Database()

    people = db.query(select_query)

    for person in people:
        print "Found %s " % person['name']

Compiling with g++ using multiple cores

make will do this for you. Investigate the -j and -l switches in the man page. I don't think g++ is parallelizable.

Windows 8.1 gets Error 720 on connect VPN

Based on the Microsoft support KBs, this can occur if TCP/IP is damaged or is not bound to your dial-up adapter.You can try reinstalling or resetting TCP/IP as follows:

  • Reset TCP/IP to Original Configuration- Using the NetShell utility, type this command (in CommandLine): netsh int ip reset [file_name.txt], [file_name.txt] is the name of the file where the actions taken by NetShell are record, for example netsh hint ip reset fixtcpip.txt.

  • Remove and re-install NIC – Open Controller and select System. Click Hardware tab and select devices. Double-click on Network Adapter and right-click on the NIC, select Uninstall. Restart the computer and the Windows should auto detect the NIC and re-install it.

  • Upgrade the NIC driver – You may download the latest NIC driver and upgrade the driver.

Hope it could help.

How to dispatch a Redux action with a timeout?

Why should it be so hard? It's just UI logic. Use a dedicated action to set notification data:

dispatch({ notificationData: { message: 'message', expire: +new Date() + 5*1000 } })

and a dedicated component to display it:

const Notifications = ({ notificationData }) => {
    if(notificationData.expire > this.state.currentTime) {
      return <div>{notificationData.message}</div>
    } else return null;
}

In this case the questions should be "how do you clean up old state?", "how to notify a component that time has changed"

You can implement some TIMEOUT action which is dispatched on setTimeout from a component.

Maybe it's just fine to clean it whenever a new notification is shown.

Anyway, there should be some setTimeout somewhere, right? Why not to do it in a component

setTimeout(() => this.setState({ currentTime: +new Date()}), 
           this.props.notificationData.expire-(+new Date()) )

The motivation is that the "notification fade out" functionality is really a UI concern. So it simplifies testing for your business logic.

It doesn't seem to make sense to test how it's implemented. It only makes sense to verify when the notification should time out. Thus less code to stub, faster tests, cleaner code.

Creating Scheduled Tasks

You can use Task Scheduler Managed Wrapper:

using System;
using Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler;

class Program
{
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
      // Get the service on the local machine
      using (TaskService ts = new TaskService())
      {
         // Create a new task definition and assign properties
         TaskDefinition td = ts.NewTask();
         td.RegistrationInfo.Description = "Does something";

         // Create a trigger that will fire the task at this time every other day
         td.Triggers.Add(new DailyTrigger { DaysInterval = 2 });

         // Create an action that will launch Notepad whenever the trigger fires
         td.Actions.Add(new ExecAction("notepad.exe", "c:\\test.log", null));

         // Register the task in the root folder
         ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(@"Test", td);

         // Remove the task we just created
         ts.RootFolder.DeleteTask("Test");
      }
   }
}

Alternatively you can use native API or go for Quartz.NET. See this for details.

how to set select element as readonly ('disabled' doesnt pass select value on server)

see this answer - HTML form readonly SELECT tag/input

You should keep the select element disabled but also add another hidden input with the same name and value.

If you reenable your SELECT, you should copy it's value to the hidden input in an onchange event.

see this fiddle to demnstrate how to extract the selected value in a disabled select into a hidden field that will be submitted in the form.

<select disabled="disabled" id="sel_test">
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

<input type="hidden" id="hdn_test" />
<div id="output"></div>

$(function(){
    var select_val = $('#sel_test option:selected').val();
    $('#hdn_test').val(select_val);
    $('#output').text('Selected value is: ' + select_val);
});

hope that helps.

VBA Object doesn't support this property or method

Object doesn't support this property or method.

Think of it like if anything after the dot is called on an object. It's like a chain.

An object is a class instance. A class instance supports some properties defined in that class type definition. It exposes whatever intelli-sense in VBE tells you (there are some hidden members but it's not related to this). So after each dot . you get intelli-sense (that white dropdown) trying to help you pick the correct action.

(you can start either way - front to back or back to front, once you understand how this works you'll be able to identify where the problem occurs)

Type this much anywhere in your code area

Dim a As Worksheets
a.

you get help from VBE, it's a little dropdown called Intelli-sense

enter image description here

It lists all available actions that particular object exposes to any user. You can't see the .Selection member of the Worksheets() class. That's what the error tells you exactly.

Object doesn't support this property or method.

If you look at the example on MSDN

Worksheets("GRA").Activate
iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

It activates the sheet first then calls the Selection... it's not connected together because Selection is not a member of Worksheets() class. Simply, you can't prefix the Selection

What about

Sub DisplayColumnCount()
    Dim iAreaCount As Integer
    Dim i As Integer

    Worksheets("GRA").Activate
    iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

    If iAreaCount <= 1 Then
        MsgBox "The selection contains " & Selection.Columns.Count & " columns."
    Else
        For i = 1 To iAreaCount
        MsgBox "Area " & i & " of the selection contains " & _
        Selection.Areas(i).Columns.Count & " columns."
        Next i
    End If
End Sub

How to replace a char in string with an Empty character in C#.NET

I have a latin version of the code of Razvan Dumitru because us use a million indicator even. Offcourse I use a double replace :D

public static string CleanNumb(string numb) 
{
    foreach (char c in ".,'´")
       numb = numb.Replace(c, ' ');

    return numb.Replace(" ", "");
}

What is REST? Slightly confused

REST is not a specific web service but a design concept (architecture) for managing state information. The seminal paper on this was Roy Thomas Fielding's dissertation (2000), "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures" (available online from the University of California, Irvine).

First read Ryan Tomayko's post How I explained REST to my wife; it's a great starting point. Then read Fielding's actual dissertation. It's not that advanced, nor is it long (six chapters, 180 pages)! (I know you kids in school like it short).

EDIT: I feel it's pointless to try to explain REST. It has so many concepts like scalability, visibility (stateless) etc. that the reader needs to grasp, and the best source for understanding those are the actual dissertation. It's much more than POST/GET etc.

What do these operators mean (** , ^ , %, //)?

You are correct that ** is the power function.

^ is bitwise XOR.

% is indeed the modulus operation, but note that for positive numbers, x % m = x whenever m > x. This follows from the definition of modulus. (Additionally, Python specifies x % m to have the sign of m.)

// is a division operation that returns an integer by discarding the remainder. This is the standard form of division using the / in most programming languages. However, Python 3 changed the behavior of / to perform floating-point division even if the arguments are integers. The // operator was introduced in Python 2.6 and Python 3 to provide an integer-division operator that would behave consistently between Python 2 and Python 3. This means:

| context                                | `/` behavior   | `//` behavior |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| floating-point arguments, Python 2 & 3 | float division | int divison   |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| integer arguments, python 2            | int division   | int division  |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| integer arguments, python 3            | float division | int division  |

For more details, see this question: Division in Python 2.7. and 3.3

What’s the difference between "Array()" and "[]" while declaring a JavaScript array?

For more information, the following page describes why you never need to use new Array()

You never need to use new Object() in JavaScript. Use the object literal {} instead. Similarly, don’t use new Array(), use the array literal [] instead. Arrays in JavaScript work nothing like the arrays in Java, and use of the Java-like syntax will confuse you.

Do not use new Number, new String, or new Boolean. These forms produce unnecessary object wrappers. Just use simple literals instead.

Also check out the comments - the new Array(length) form does not serve any useful purpose (at least in today's implementations of JavaScript).

error: strcpy was not declared in this scope

When you say:

 #include <cstring>

the g++ compiler should put the <string.h> declarations it itself includes into the std:: AND the global namespaces. It looks for some reason as if it is not doing that. Try replacing one instance of strcpy with std::strcpy and see if that fixes the problem.

You can now use scroll-margin-top, which is pretty widely adopted.

Simply add the following CSS to the element you want to scroll to:

.element {
  scroll-margin-top: 2em;

Javascript setInterval not working

Change setInterval("func",10000) to either setInterval(funcName, 10000) or setInterval("funcName()",10000). The former is the recommended method.

How can I Convert HTML to Text in C#?

This is another solution to convert HTML to Text or RTF in C#:

    SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf h = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf();
    h.OutputFormat = HtmlToRtf.eOutputFormat.TextUnicode;
    string text = h.ConvertString(htmlString);

This library is not free, this is commercial product and it is my own product.

Accessing UI (Main) Thread safely in WPF

The best way to go about it would be to get a SynchronizationContext from the UI thread and use it. This class abstracts marshalling calls to other threads, and makes testing easier (in contrast to using WPF's Dispatcher directly). For example:

class MyViewModel
{
    private readonly SynchronizationContext _syncContext;

    public MyViewModel()
    {
        // we assume this ctor is called from the UI thread!
        _syncContext = SynchronizationContext.Current;
    }

    // ...

    private void watcher_Changed(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
    {
         _syncContext.Post(o => DGAddRow(crp.Protocol, ft), null);
    }
}

Spring not autowiring in unit tests with JUnit

You need to add annotations to the Junit class, telling it to use the SpringJunitRunner. The ones you want are:

@ContextConfiguration("/test-context.xml")
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

This tells Junit to use the test-context.xml file in same directory as your test. This file should be similar to the real context.xml you're using for spring, but pointing to test resources, naturally.

How to center a View inside of an Android Layout?

If you want to center one view, use this one. In this case TextView must be the lowermost view in your XML because it's layout_height is match_parent.

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/tv_to_be_centered"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="Some text"
/>

getting the index of a row in a pandas apply function

To access the index in this case you access the name attribute:

In [182]:

df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], columns=['a','b','c'])
def rowFunc(row):
    return row['a'] + row['b'] * row['c']

def rowIndex(row):
    return row.name
df['d'] = df.apply(rowFunc, axis=1)
df['rowIndex'] = df.apply(rowIndex, axis=1)
df
Out[182]:
   a  b  c   d  rowIndex
0  1  2  3   7         0
1  4  5  6  34         1

Note that if this is really what you are trying to do that the following works and is much faster:

In [198]:

df['d'] = df['a'] + df['b'] * df['c']
df
Out[198]:
   a  b  c   d
0  1  2  3   7
1  4  5  6  34

In [199]:

%timeit df['a'] + df['b'] * df['c']
%timeit df.apply(rowIndex, axis=1)
10000 loops, best of 3: 163 µs per loop
1000 loops, best of 3: 286 µs per loop

EDIT

Looking at this question 3+ years later, you could just do:

In[15]:
df['d'],df['rowIndex'] = df['a'] + df['b'] * df['c'], df.index
df

Out[15]: 
   a  b  c   d  rowIndex
0  1  2  3   7         0
1  4  5  6  34         1

but assuming it isn't as trivial as this, whatever your rowFunc is really doing, you should look to use the vectorised functions, and then use them against the df index:

In[16]:
df['newCol'] = df['a'] + df['b'] + df['c'] + df.index
df

Out[16]: 
   a  b  c   d  rowIndex  newCol
0  1  2  3   7         0       6
1  4  5  6  34         1      16

Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content iOS

For collectionView :

solution:

From viewcontroller, kindly remove the IBoutlet of colllectionviewcell

. the issue mentions the invalid of your IBOutlet. so remove all subclass which has multi-outlet(invalids) and reconnect it.

The answer is already mentioned in another question for collectionviewcell

How do I perform query filtering in django templates

You can't do this, which is by design. The Django framework authors intended a strict separation of presentation code from data logic. Filtering models is data logic, and outputting HTML is presentation logic.

So you have several options. The easiest is to do the filtering, then pass the result to render_to_response. Or you could write a method in your model so that you can say {% for object in data.filtered_set %}. Finally, you could write your own template tag, although in this specific case I would advise against that.

Date query with ISODate in mongodb doesn't seem to work

Old question, but still first google hit, so i post it here so i find it again more easily...

Using Mongo 4.2 and an aggregate():

db.collection.aggregate(
    [
     { $match: { "end_time": { "$gt": ISODate("2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z")  } } },
     { $project: {
          "end_day": { $dateFromParts: { 'year' : {$year:"$end_time"}, 'month' : {$month:"$end_time"}, 'day': {$dayOfMonth:"$end_time"}, 'hour' : 0  } }
     }}, 
     {$group:{
        _id:   "$end_day",
        "count":{$sum:1},
    }}
   ]
)

This one give you the groupby variable as a date, sometimes better to hande as the components itself.

How do you change the size of figures drawn with matplotlib?

The first link in Google for 'matplotlib figure size' is AdjustingImageSize (Google cache of the page).

Here's a test script from the above page. It creates test[1-3].png files of different sizes of the same image:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
This is a small demo file that helps teach how to adjust figure sizes
for matplotlib

"""

import matplotlib
print "using MPL version:", matplotlib.__version__
matplotlib.use("WXAgg") # do this before pylab so you don'tget the default back end.

import pylab
import numpy as np

# Generate and plot some simple data:
x = np.arange(0, 2*np.pi, 0.1)
y = np.sin(x)

pylab.plot(x,y)
F = pylab.gcf()

# Now check everything with the defaults:
DPI = F.get_dpi()
print "DPI:", DPI
DefaultSize = F.get_size_inches()
print "Default size in Inches", DefaultSize
print "Which should result in a %i x %i Image"%(DPI*DefaultSize[0], DPI*DefaultSize[1])
# the default is 100dpi for savefig:
F.savefig("test1.png")
# this gives me a 797 x 566 pixel image, which is about 100 DPI

# Now make the image twice as big, while keeping the fonts and all the
# same size
F.set_size_inches( (DefaultSize[0]*2, DefaultSize[1]*2) )
Size = F.get_size_inches()
print "Size in Inches", Size
F.savefig("test2.png")
# this results in a 1595x1132 image

# Now make the image twice as big, making all the fonts and lines
# bigger too.

F.set_size_inches( DefaultSize )# resetthe size
Size = F.get_size_inches()
print "Size in Inches", Size
F.savefig("test3.png", dpi = (200)) # change the dpi
# this also results in a 1595x1132 image, but the fonts are larger.

Output:

using MPL version: 0.98.1
DPI: 80
Default size in Inches [ 8.  6.]
Which should result in a 640 x 480 Image
Size in Inches [ 16.  12.]
Size in Inches [ 16.  12.]

Two notes:

  1. The module comments and the actual output differ.

  2. This answer allows easily to combine all three images in one image file to see the difference in sizes.

WPF Datagrid Get Selected Cell Value

Ok after doing reverse engineering and a little pixie dust of reflection, one can do this operation on SelectedCells (at any point) to get all (regardless of selected on one row or many rows) the data from one to many selected cells:

MessageBox.Show(

string.Join(", ", myGrid.SelectedCells
                        .Select(cl => cl.Item.GetType()
                                             .GetProperty(cl.Column.SortMemberPath)
                                             .GetValue(cl.Item, null)))

               );

I tried this on text (string) fields only though a DateTime field should return a value the initiate ToString(). Also note that SortMemberPath is not the same as Header so that should always provide the proper property to reflect off of.

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding MyData}"                      
          AutoGenerateColumns="True"
          Name="myGrid"
          IsReadOnly="True"
          SelectionUnit="Cell"

git - Server host key not cached

Adding the host directly with Bash didn't solve the issue, the error still occurred when using 'Fetch all' in Git Extensions. By using 'Pull' on one branch, the required host was added automatically by Git Extensions with a Bash pop-up screen. After doing this I was able to use 'Fetch All' again. Not sure what is done by Git Extensions differently.

Multiple select statements in Single query

If you use MyISAM tables, the fastest way is querying directly the stats:

select table_name, table_rows 
     from information_schema.tables 
where 
     table_schema='databasename' and 
     table_name in ('user_table','cat_table','course_table')

If you have InnoDB you have to query with count() as the reported value in information_schema.tables is wrong.

SMTPAuthenticationError when sending mail using gmail and python

I have just sent an email with gmail through Python. Try to use smtplib.SMTP_SSL to make the connection. Also, you may try to change the gmail domain and port.

So, you may get a chance with:

server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.googlemail.com', 465)
server.login(gmail_user, password)
server.sendmail(gmail_user, TO, BODY)

As a plus, you could check the email builtin module. In this way, you can improve the readability of you your code and handle emails headers easily.

How to pause a vbscript execution?

Script snip below creates a pause sub that displayes the pause text in a string and waits for the Enter key. z can be anything. Great if multilple user intervention required pauses are needed. I just keep it in my standard script template.

When to use Task.Delay, when to use Thread.Sleep?

I want to add something. Actually, Task.Delay is a timer based wait mechanism. If you look at the source you would find a reference to a Timer class which is responsible for the delay. On the other hand Thread.Sleep actually makes current thread to sleep, that way you are just blocking and wasting one thread. In async programming model you should always use Task.Delay() if you want something(continuation) happen after some delay.

collapse cell in jupyter notebook

There's also an improved version of Pan Yan suggestion. It adds the button that shows code cells back:

%%html
<style id=hide>div.input{display:none;}</style>
<button type="button" 
onclick="var myStyle = document.getElementById('hide').sheet;myStyle.insertRule('div.input{display:inherit !important;}', 0);">
Show inputs</button>

Or python:

# Run me to hide code cells

from IPython.core.display import display, HTML
display(HTML(r"""<style id=hide>div.input{display:none;}</style><button type="button"onclick="var myStyle = document.getElementById('hide').sheet;myStyle.insertRule('div.input{display:inherit !important;}', 0);">Show inputs</button>"""))

Difference between window.location.href and top.location.href

top refers to the window object which contains all the current frames ( father of the rest of the windows ). window is the current window.

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/browserinspecific

so top.location.href can contain the "master" page link containing all the frames, while window.location.href just contains the "current" page link.

Create a Path from String in Java7

From the javadocs..http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/pathOps.html

Path p1 = Paths.get("/tmp/foo"); 

is the same as

Path p4 = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("/tmp/foo");

Path p3 = Paths.get(URI.create("file:///Users/joe/FileTest.java"));

Path p5 = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.home"),"logs", "foo.log"); 

In Windows, creates file C:\joe\logs\foo.log (assuming user home as C:\joe)
In Unix, creates file /u/joe/logs/foo.log (assuming user home as /u/joe)

How to Add Stacktrace or debug Option when Building Android Studio Project

To be able to run options like --stacktrace within a gradle command, you need to put it at the beginning, like:

E.g,

./gradlew --stacktrace assembleDebug

How can I tell if a DOM element is visible in the current viewport?

As a public service:
Dan's answer with the correct calculations (element can be > window, especially on mobile phone screens), and correct jQuery testing, as well as adding isElementPartiallyInViewport:

By the way, the difference between window.innerWidth and document.documentElement.clientWidth is that clientWidth/clientHeight doesn't include the scrollbar, while window.innerWidth/Height does.

function isElementPartiallyInViewport(el)
{
    // Special bonus for those using jQuery
    if (typeof jQuery !== 'undefined' && el instanceof jQuery) 
        el = el[0];

    var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    // DOMRect { x: 8, y: 8, width: 100, height: 100, top: 8, right: 108, bottom: 108, left: 8 }
    var windowHeight = (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight);
    var windowWidth = (window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth);

    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/325933/determine-whether-two-date-ranges-overlap
    var vertInView = (rect.top <= windowHeight) && ((rect.top + rect.height) >= 0);
    var horInView = (rect.left <= windowWidth) && ((rect.left + rect.width) >= 0);

    return (vertInView && horInView);
}


// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/123999/how-to-tell-if-a-dom-element-is-visible-in-the-current-viewport
function isElementInViewport (el)
{
    // Special bonus for those using jQuery
    if (typeof jQuery !== 'undefined' && el instanceof jQuery) 
        el = el[0];

    var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    var windowHeight = (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight);
    var windowWidth = (window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth);

    return (
           (rect.left >= 0)
        && (rect.top >= 0)
        && ((rect.left + rect.width) <= windowWidth)
        && ((rect.top + rect.height) <= windowHeight)
    );
}


function fnIsVis(ele)
{
    var inVpFull = isElementInViewport(ele);
    var inVpPartial = isElementPartiallyInViewport(ele);
    console.clear();
    console.log("Fully in viewport: " + inVpFull);
    console.log("Partially in viewport: " + inVpPartial);
}

How do I change the color of radio buttons?

This is not possible by native CSS. You'll have to use background images and some javascript tricks.

Passing variables in remote ssh command

(This answer might seem needlessly complicated, but it’s easily extensible and robust regarding whitespace and special characters, as far as I know.)

You can feed data right through the standard input of the ssh command and read that from the remote location.

In the following example,

  1. an indexed array is filled (for convenience) with the names of the variables whose values you want to retrieve on the remote side.
  2. For each of those variables, we give to ssh a null-terminated line giving the name and value of the variable.
  3. In the shh command itself, we loop through these lines to initialise the required variables.
# Initialize examples of variables.
# The first one even contains whitespace and a newline.
readonly FOO=$'apjlljs ailsi \n ajlls\t éjij'
readonly BAR=ygnàgyààynygbjrbjrb

# Make a list of what you want to pass through SSH.
# (The “unset” is just in case someone exported
# an associative array with this name.)
unset -v VAR_NAMES
readonly VAR_NAMES=(
    FOO
    BAR
)

for name in "${VAR_NAMES[@]}"
do
    printf '%s %s\0' "$name" "${!name}"
done | ssh [email protected] '
    while read -rd '"''"' name value
    do
        export "$name"="$value"
    done

    # Check
    printf "FOO = [%q]; BAR = [%q]\n" "$FOO" "$BAR"
'

Output:

FOO = [$'apjlljs ailsi \n ajlls\t éjij']; BAR = [ygnàgyààynygbjrbjrb]

If you don’t need to export those, you should be able to use declare instead of export.

A really simplified version (if you don’t need the extensibility, have a single variable to process, etc.) would look like:

$ ssh [email protected] 'read foo' <<< "$foo"

How to check if element is visible after scrolling?

Made a simple plugin detecting if element is visible within a scrollable container

    $.fn.isVisible = function(){

      var win;
      if(!arguments[0])
      {
        console.error('Specify a target;');
        return false;
      }
      else
      {
        win = $(arguments[0]);
      }
      var viewport = {};
      var bounds = this.offset();
      bounds.right = bounds.left + this.outerWidth();
      bounds.bottom = bounds.top + this.outerHeight();
      viewport.bottom = win.height() + win.offset().top;
      return (!( bounds.top > viewport.bottom) && (win.offset().top < bounds.bottom));
    };

Call it like this $('elem_to_check').isVisible('scrollable_container');

Hope it'll help.

How to Join to first row

SELECT   Orders.OrderNumber, LineItems.Quantity, LineItems.Description
FROM     Orders
JOIN     LineItems
ON       LineItems.LineItemGUID =
         (
         SELECT  TOP 1 LineItemGUID 
         FROM    LineItems
         WHERE   OrderID = Orders.OrderID
         )

In SQL Server 2005 and above, you could just replace INNER JOIN with CROSS APPLY:

SELECT  Orders.OrderNumber, LineItems2.Quantity, LineItems2.Description
FROM    Orders
CROSS APPLY
        (
        SELECT  TOP 1 LineItems.Quantity, LineItems.Description
        FROM    LineItems
        WHERE   LineItems.OrderID = Orders.OrderID
        ) LineItems2

Please note that TOP 1 without ORDER BY is not deterministic: this query you will get you one line item per order, but it is not defined which one will it be.

Multiple invocations of the query can give you different line items for the same order, even if the underlying did not change.

If you want deterministic order, you should add an ORDER BY clause to the innermost query.

Convert time span value to format "hh:mm Am/Pm" using C#

Parse timespan to DateTime and then use Format ("hh:mm:tt"). For example.

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(16, 00, 00);
DateTime dtTemp = DateTime.ParseExact(ts.ToString(), "HH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string str = dtTemp.ToString("hh:mm tt");

str will be:

str = "04:00 PM"

Write-back vs Write-Through caching?

Write-back and write-through describe policies when a write hit occurs, that is when the cache has the requested information. In these examples, we assume a single processor is writing to main memory with a cache.

Write-through: The information is written to the cache and memory, and the write finishes when both have finished. This has the advantage of being simpler to implement, and the main memory is always consistent (in sync) with the cache (for the uniprocessor case - if some other device modifies main memory, then this policy is not enough), and a read miss never results in writes to main memory. The obvious disadvantage is that every write hit has to do two writes, one of which accesses slower main memory.

Write-back: The information is written to a block in the cache. The modified cache block is only written to memory when it is replaced (in effect, a lazy write). A special bit for each cache block, the dirty bit, marks whether or not the cache block has been modified while in the cache. If the dirty bit is not set, the cache block is "clean" and a write miss does not have to write the block to memory.

The advantage is that writes can occur at the speed of the cache, and if writing within the same block only one write to main memory is needed (when the previous block is being replaced). The disadvantages are that this protocol is harder to implement, main memory can be not consistent (not in sync) with the cache, and reads that result in replacement may cause writes of dirty blocks to main memory.

The policies for a write miss are detailed in my first link.

These protocols don't take care of the cases with multiple processors and multiple caches, as is common in modern processors. For this, more complicated cache coherence mechanisms are required. Write-through caches have simpler protocols since a write to the cache is immediately reflected in memory.

add a bit more information to @Michal Roharik 's answer.

if your ajax call will return a return url, you should use jquery to change the form action attribute to that url before calling form.submit

ex.

$(form).attr('action', ReturnPath);
form.submitted = false;
form.submit(); 

Creating email templates with Django

From the docs, to send HTML e-mail you want to use alternative content-types, like this:

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives

subject, from_email, to = 'hello', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'
text_content = 'This is an important message.'
html_content = '<p>This is an <strong>important</strong> message.</p>'
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, [to])
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
msg.send()

You'll probably want two templates for your e-mail - a plain text one that looks something like this, stored in your templates directory under email.txt:

Hello {{ username }} - your account is activated.

and an HTMLy one, stored under email.html:

Hello <strong>{{ username }}</strong> - your account is activated.

You can then send an e-mail using both those templates by making use of get_template, like this:

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context

plaintext = get_template('email.txt')
htmly     = get_template('email.html')

d = Context({ 'username': username })

subject, from_email, to = 'hello', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'
text_content = plaintext.render(d)
html_content = htmly.render(d)
msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, [to])
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
msg.send()

Remove trailing newline from the elements of a string list

If you need to remove just trailing whitespace, you could use str.rstrip(), which should be slightly more efficient than str.strip():

>>> lst = ['this\n', 'is\n', 'a\n', 'list\n', 'of\n', 'words\n']
>>> [x.rstrip() for x in lst]
['this', 'is', 'a', 'list', 'of', 'words']
>>> list(map(str.rstrip, lst))
['this', 'is', 'a', 'list', 'of', 'words']

Javascript event handler with parameters

Given the update to the original question, it seems like there is trouble with the context ("this") while passing event handlers. The basics are explained e.g. here http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_function_invocation.asp

A simple working version of your example could read

var doClick = function(event, additionalParameter){
    // do stuff with event and this being the triggering event and caller
}

element.addEventListener('click', function(event)
{
  var additionalParameter = ...;
  doClick.call(this, event, additionalParameter );
}, false);

CS0234: Mvc does not exist in the System.Web namespace

This problem can happen when you deploy your web application to a server, so you must check if you already installed MVC3.

Check if the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 3 exists.

If it doesn't exist, you need to install it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1491


If you wont to install you can add all DLLs locally in bin folder and add references to them this work fine if you host on server don't deploy ASP.NET Web Pages or MVC3.

How can I extract audio from video with ffmpeg?

For people looking for the simpler way to extract audio from a video file while retaining the original video file's parameters, you can use:

ffmpeg -i <video_file_name.extension> <audio_file_name.extension>

For example, running:

How can I sort a std::map first by value, then by key?

std::map will sort its elements by keys. It doesn't care about the values when sorting.

You can use std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> then sort it using std::sort followed by std::stable_sort:

std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> items;

//fill items

//sort by value using std::sort
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), value_comparer);

//sort by key using std::stable_sort
std::stable_sort(items.begin(), items.end(), key_comparer);

The first sort should use std::sort since it is nlog(n), and then use std::stable_sort which is n(log(n))^2 in the worst case.

Note that while std::sort is chosen for performance reason, std::stable_sort is needed for correct ordering, as you want the order-by-value to be preserved.


@gsf noted in the comment, you could use only std::sort if you choose a comparer which compares values first, and IF they're equal, sort the keys.

auto cmp = [](std::pair<K,V> const & a, std::pair<K,V> const & b) 
{ 
     return a.second != b.second?  a.second < b.second : a.first < b.first;
};
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), cmp);

That should be efficient.

But wait, there is a better approach: store std::pair<V,K> instead of std::pair<K,V> and then you don't need any comparer at all — the standard comparer for std::pair would be enough, as it compares first (which is V) first then second which is K:

std::vector<std::pair<V,K>> items;
//...
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end());

That should work great.

Excel: How to check if a cell is empty with VBA?

You could use IsEmpty() function like this:

...
Set rRng = Sheet1.Range("A10")
If IsEmpty(rRng.Value) Then ...

you could also use following:

If ActiveCell.Value = vbNullString Then ...

Could someone explain this for me - for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

It's a for loop, which will execute the next statement a number of times, depending on the conditions inside the parenthesis.

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Start by setting i = 0

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Continue looping while i < 8.

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)

Every time you've been around the loop, increase i by 1.

For example;

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    do(i);

will call do(0), do(1), ... do(7) in order, and stop when i reaches 8 (ie i < 8 is false)

What are .dex files in Android?

dex file is a file that is executed on the Dalvik VM.

Dalvik VM includes several features for performance optimization, verification, and monitoring, one of which is Dalvik Executable (DEX).

Java source code is compiled by the Java compiler into .class files. Then the dx (dexer) tool, part of the Android SDK processes the .class files into a file format called DEX that contains Dalvik byte code. The dx tool eliminates all the redundant information that is present in the classes. In DEX all the classes of the application are packed into one file. The following table provides comparison between code sizes for JVM jar files and the files processed by the dex tool.

The table compares code sizes for system libraries, web browser applications, and a general purpose application (alarm clock app). In all cases dex tool reduced size of the code by more than 50%.

enter image description here

In standard Java environments each class in Java code results in one .class file. That means, if the Java source code file has one public class and two anonymous classes, let’s say for event handling, then the java compiler will create total three .class files.

The compilation step is same on the Android platform, thus resulting in multiple .class files. But after .class files are generated, the “dx” tool is used to convert all .class files into a single .dex, or Dalvik Executable, file. It is the .dex file that is executed on the Dalvik VM. The .dex file has been optimized for memory usage and the design is primarily driven by sharing of data.

    switch(orient) 
    {
       case Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
                    break;
       case Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
                    break;
       default:
          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_UNSPECIFIED);
    }
}

How to change the integrated terminal in visual studio code or VSCode

For OP's terminal Cmder there is an integration guide, also hinted in the VS Code docs.

If you want to use VS Code tasks and encounter problems after switch to Cmder, there is an update to @khernand's answer. Copy this into your settings.json file:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "cmd.exe",

"terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
  "CMDER_ROOT": "[cmder_root]" // replace [cmder_root] with your cmder path
},
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
  "/k",
  "%CMDER_ROOT%\\vendor\\bin\\vscode_init.cmd" // <-- this is the relevant change
  // OLD: "%CMDER_ROOT%\\vendor\\init.bat"
],

The invoked file will open Cmder as integrated terminal and switch to cmd for tasks - have a look at the source here. So you can omit configuring a separate terminal in tasks.json to make tasks work.

Starting with VS Code 1.38, there is also "terminal.integrated.automationShell.windows" setting, which lets you set your terminal for tasks globally and avoids issues with Cmder.

"terminal.integrated.automationShell.windows": "cmd.exe"

Eclipse CDT: no rule to make target all

I just solved this exact issue for myself; even referenced this question.

I'm assuming you haven't written the "all" rule that Eclipse is complaining about. If this is the case, take these steps:

  1. Go to Project Properties > C/C++ Build > Behaviour Tab.
  2. Leave Build (Incremental Build) Checked.
  3. Remove "all" from the text box next to Build (Incremental Build).
  4. Compile away!

This lets Eclipse know you aren't trying to use a make target called "all". For some reason, that is the default.

How do I interpret precision and scale of a number in a database?

Numeric precision refers to the maximum number of digits that are present in the number.

ie 1234567.89 has a precision of 9

Numeric scale refers to the maximum number of decimal places

ie 123456.789 has a scale of 3

Thus the maximum allowed value for decimal(5,2) is 999.99

How to convert CharSequence to String?

There is a subtle issue here that is a bit of a gotcha.

The toString() method has a base implementation in Object. CharSequence is an interface; and although the toString() method appears as part of that interface, there is nothing at compile-time that will force you to override it and honor the additional constraints that the CharSequence toString() method's javadoc puts on the toString() method; ie that it should return a string containing the characters in the order returned by charAt().

Your IDE won't even help you out by reminding that you that you probably should override toString(). For example, in intellij, this is what you'll see if you create a new CharSequence implementation: http://puu.sh/2w1RJ. Note the absence of toString().

If you rely on toString() on an arbitrary CharSequence, it should work provided the CharSequence implementer did their job properly. But if you want to avoid any uncertainty altogether, you should use a StringBuilder and append(), like so:

final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(charSequence.length());
sb.append(charSequence);
return sb.toString();

How to assert greater than using JUnit Assert?

you can also try below simple soln:

currentTokenValues[1] = "1378994416509";

Long prev = Long.parseLong(previousTokenValues[1]);
Long curr = Long.parseLong(currentTokenValues[1]);

Assert.assertTrue(prev  > curr );   

Using npm behind corporate proxy .pac

I solved this problem this way:

1) I run this command:

npm config set strict-ssl false

2) Then set npm to run with http, instead of https:

npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/"

3) Then install your package

npm install <package name>

Converting int to bytes in Python 3

int (including Python2's long) can be converted to bytes using following function:

import codecs

def int2bytes(i):
    hex_value = '{0:x}'.format(i)
    # make length of hex_value a multiple of two
    hex_value = '0' * (len(hex_value) % 2) + hex_value
    return codecs.decode(hex_value, 'hex_codec')

The reverse conversion can be done by another one:

import codecs
import six  # should be installed via 'pip install six'

long = six.integer_types[-1]

def bytes2int(b):
    return long(codecs.encode(b, 'hex_codec'), 16)

Both functions work on both Python2 and Python3.

Create a pointer to two-dimensional array

The basic syntax of initializing pointer that points to multidimentional array is

type (*pointer)[1st dimension size][2nd dimension size][..] = &array_name

The the basic syntax for calling it is

(*pointer_name)[1st index][2nd index][...]

Here is a example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
   // The multidimentional array...
   char balance[5][100] = {
       "Subham",
       "Messi"
   };

   char (*p)[5][100] = &balance; // Pointer initialization...

   printf("%s\n",(*p)[0]); // Calling...
   printf("%s\n",(*p)[1]); // Calling...

  return 0;
}

Output is:

Subham
Messi

It worked...

Examples of GoF Design Patterns in Java's core libraries

java.util.Collection#Iterator is a good example of a Factory Method. Depending on the concrete subclass of Collection you use, it will create an Iterator implementation. Because both the Factory superclass (Collection) and the Iterator created are interfaces, it is sometimes confused with AbstractFactory. Most of the examples for AbstractFactory in the the accepted answer (BalusC) are examples of Factory, a simplified version of Factory Method, which is not part of the original GoF patterns. In Facory the Factory class hierarchy is collapsed and the factory uses other means to choose the product to be returned.

  • Abstract Factory

An abstract factory has multiple factory methods, each creating a different product. The products produced by one factory are intended to be used together (your printer and cartridges better be from the same (abstract) factory). As mentioned in answers above the families of AWT GUI components, differing from platform to platform, are an example of this (although its implementation differs from the structure described in Gof).

How to recompile with -fPIC

In addirion to the good answers here, specifically Robert Lujo's.

I want to say in my case I've been deliberately trying to statically compile a version of ffmpeg. All the required dependencies and what else heretofore required, I've done static compilation.

When I ran ./configure for the ffmpeg process I didnt notice --enable-shared was on the commandline. Removing it and running ./configure is only then I was able to compile correctly (All 56 mbs of an ffmpeg binary). Check that out as well if your intention is static compilation

Binding to static property

As of WPF 4.5 you can bind directly to static properties and have the binding automatically update when your property is changed. You do need to manually wire up a change event to trigger the binding updates.

public class VersionManager
{
    private static String _filterString;        

    /// <summary>
    /// A static property which you'd like to bind to
    /// </summary>
    public static String FilterString
    {
        get
        {
            return _filterString;
        }

        set
        {
            _filterString = value;

            // Raise a change event
            OnFilterStringChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
        }
    }

    // Declare a static event representing changes to your static property
    public static event EventHandler FilterStringChanged;

    // Raise the change event through this static method
    protected static void OnFilterStringChanged(EventArgs e)
    {
        EventHandler handler = FilterStringChanged;

        if (handler != null)
        {
            handler(null, e);
        }
    }

    static VersionManager()
    {
        // Set up an empty event handler
        FilterStringChanged += (sender, e) => { return; };
    }

}

You can now bind your static property just like any other:

<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=(local:VersionManager.FilterString)}"/>

Remote Procedure call failed with sql server 2008 R2

Evaluating a mathematical expression in a string

You can use the ast module and write a NodeVisitor that verifies that the type of each node is part of a whitelist.

import ast, math

locals =  {key: value for (key,value) in vars(math).items() if key[0] != '_'}
locals.update({"abs": abs, "complex": complex, "min": min, "max": max, "pow": pow, "round": round})

class Visitor(ast.NodeVisitor):
    def visit(self, node):
       if not isinstance(node, self.whitelist):
           raise ValueError(node)
       return super().visit(node)

    whitelist = (ast.Module, ast.Expr, ast.Load, ast.Expression, ast.Add, ast.Sub, ast.UnaryOp, ast.Num, ast.BinOp,
            ast.Mult, ast.Div, ast.Pow, ast.BitOr, ast.BitAnd, ast.BitXor, ast.USub, ast.UAdd, ast.FloorDiv, ast.Mod,
            ast.LShift, ast.RShift, ast.Invert, ast.Call, ast.Name)

def evaluate(expr, locals = {}):
    if any(elem in expr for elem in '\n#') : raise ValueError(expr)
    try:
        node = ast.parse(expr.strip(), mode='eval')
        Visitor().visit(node)
        return eval(compile(node, "<string>", "eval"), {'__builtins__': None}, locals)
    except Exception: raise ValueError(expr)

Because it works via a whitelist rather than a blacklist, it is safe. The only functions and variables it can access are those you explicitly give it access to. I populated a dict with math-related functions so you can easily provide access to those if you want, but you have to explicitly use it.

If the string attempts to call functions that haven't been provided, or invoke any methods, an exception will be raised, and it will not be executed.

Because this uses Python's built in parser and evaluator, it also inherits Python's precedence and promotion rules as well.

>>> evaluate("7 + 9 * (2 << 2)")
79
>>> evaluate("6 // 2 + 0.0")
3.0

The above code has only been tested on Python 3.

If desired, you can add a timeout decorator on this function.

Clear image on picturebox

I've had a stubborn image too, that wouldn't go away by setting the Image and InitialImage to null. To remove the image from the pictureBox for good, I had to use the code below, by calling Application.DoEvents() repeatedly:

            Application.DoEvents();
            if (_pictureBox.Image != null)
                _pictureBox.Image.Dispose();
            _pictureBox.Image = null;
            Application.DoEvents();
            if (_pictureBox.InitialImage != null)
                _pictureBox.InitialImage.Dispose();
            _pictureBox.InitialImage = null;
            _pictureBox.Update();
            Application.DoEvents();
            _pictureBox.Refresh();

How to prevent Browser cache for php site

Here, if you want to control it through HTML: do like below Option 1:

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sun, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT"/>
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

And if you want to control it through PHP: do it like below Option 2:

header('Expires: Sun, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', FALSE);
header('Pragma: no-cache');

AND Option 2 IS ALWAYS BETTER in order to avoid proxy based caching issue.

What is HTTP "Host" header?

I would always recommend going to the authoritative source when trying to understand the meaning and purpose of HTTP headers.

The "Host" header field in a request provides the host and port
information from the target URI, enabling the origin server to
distinguish among resources while servicing requests for multiple
host names on a single IP address.

Selecting one row from MySQL using mysql_* API

Functions mysql_ are not supported any longer and have been removed in PHP 7. You must use mysqli_ instead. However it's not recommended method now. You should consider PDO with better security solutions.

$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $row['option_value'];

How to quickly and conveniently create a one element arraylist

You can use the utility method Arrays.asList and feed that result into a new ArrayList.

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(s));

Other options:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Collections.nCopies(1, s));

and

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Collections.singletonList(s));

With Java 7+, you may use the "diamond operator", replacing new ArrayList<String>(...) with new ArrayList<>(...).

Java 9

If you're using Java 9+, you can use the List.of method:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(List.of(s));

Regardless of the use of each option above, you may choose not to use the new ArrayList<>() wrapper if you don't need your list to be mutable.

Java - How to convert type collection into ArrayList?

As other people have mentioned, ArrayList has a constructor that takes a collection of items, and adds all of them. Here's the documentation:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html#ArrayList%28java.util.Collection%29

So you need to do:

ArrayList<MyNode> myNodeList = new ArrayList<MyNode>(this.getVertices());

However, in another comment you said that was giving you a compiler error. It looks like your class MyGraph is a generic class. And so getVertices() actually returns type V, not type myNode.

I think your code should look like this:

public V getNode(int nodeId){
        ArrayList<V> myNodeList = new ArrayList<V>(this.getVertices());
        return myNodeList(nodeId);
}

But, that said it's a very inefficient way to extract a node. What you might want to do is store the nodes in a binary tree, then when you get a request for the nth node, you do a binary search.

Mac OS X - EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

Install brew or apt-get is also not easy for me so I downloaded mysql via: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/, installed it. So I can find mysql_config int this directory: /usr/local/mysql/bin

the next step is:

  1. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

How to place two divs next to each other?

Having two divs,

<div id="div1">The two divs are</div>
<div id="div2">next to each other.</div>

you could also use the display property:

#div1 {
    display: inline-block;
}

#div2 {
    display: inline-block;
}

jsFiddle example here.

If div1 exceeds a certain height, div2 will be placed next to div1 at the bottom. To solve this, use vertical-align:top; on div2.

WARNING: sanitizing unsafe style value url

Based on the docs at https://angular.io/api/platform-browser/DomSanitizer, the right way to do this seems to be to use sanitize. At least in Angular 7 (don't know if this changed from before). This worked for me:

import { Component, OnInit, Input, SecurityContext } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

constructor(
    private sanitizer: DomSanitizer
) { }

this.sanitizer.sanitize(SecurityContext.STYLE, 'url(' + this.image + ')');

Re SecurityContext, see https://angular.io/api/core/SecurityContext. Basically it's just this enum:

enum SecurityContext {
  NONE: 0
  HTML: 1
  STYLE: 2
  SCRIPT: 3
  URL: 4
  RESOURCE_URL: 5
}

How do I add a placeholder on a CharField in Django?

Look at the widgets documentation. Basically it would look like:

q = forms.CharField(label='search', 
                    widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Search'}))

More writing, yes, but the separation allows for better abstraction of more complicated cases.

You can also declare a widgets attribute containing a <field name> => <widget instance> mapping directly on the Meta of your ModelForm sub-class.

Padding between ActionBar's home icon and title

I had a similar issue but with spacing between the up and the custom app icon/logo in the action bar. Dushyanth's solution of setting padding programatically worked for me (setting padding on app/logo icon). I tried to find either android.R.id.home or R.id.abs__home (ActionBarSherlock only, as this ensures backwards compatibility), and it seems to work across 2.3-4.3 devices I've tested on.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

to your head section and open another script tag where you display the alert when the DOM is ready i.e. `

<script>
    $("document").ready( function () {
        alert("Hello, world");
    }); 
</script>

`

This uses Jquery to run the function but since jQuery is a Javascript framework it contains Javascript code hence the Javascript alert function..hope this helps...

Char array to hex string C++

The simplest:

int main()
{
    const char* str = "hello";
    for (const char* p = str; *p; ++p)
    {
        printf("%02x", *p);
    }
    printf("\n");
    return 0;
}

Sorted array list in Java

Lists typically preserve the order in which items are added. Do you definitely need a list, or would a sorted set (e.g. TreeSet<E>) be okay for you? Basically, do you need to need to preserve duplicates?

JavaScript string encryption and decryption?

Before implementying any of this, please see Scott Arciszewski's answer.

I want you to be very careful with what I'm about to share as I have little to no security knowledge (There's a high chance that I'm misusing the API below), so I'd be more than welcome to update this answer with the help of the community.

As @richardtallent mentioned in his answer, there's support for the Web Crypto API, so this example uses the standard. As of this writing, there's a 95.88% of global browser support.

I'm going to be sharing an example using the Web Crypto API

Before we proceed, please note (Quoting from MDN):

This API provides a number of low-level cryptographic primitives. It's very easy to misuse them, and the pitfalls involved can be very subtle.

Even assuming you use the basic cryptographic functions correctly, secure key management and overall security system design are extremely hard to get right and are generally the domain of specialist security experts.

Errors in security system design and implementation can make the security of the system completely ineffective.

If you're not sure you know what you are doing, you probably shouldn't be using this API.

I respect security a lot, and I even bolded additional parts from MDN... You've been warned

Now, to the actual example...

  }

  private stringToArrayBuffer(str: string) {
    const buff = new ArrayBuffer(str.length*2) // Because there are 2 bytes for each char.
    const buffView = new Uint16Array(buff);

Rock, Paper, Scissors Game Java

I would recommend making Rock, Paper and Scissors objects. The objects would have the logic of both translating to/from Strings and also "knowing" what beats what. The Java enum is perfect for this.

public enum Type{

  ROCK, PAPER, SCISSOR;

  public static Type parseType(String value){
     //if /else logic here to return either ROCK, PAPER or SCISSOR

     //if value is not either, you can return null
  }
}

The parseType method can return null if the String is not a valid type. And you code can check if the value is null and if so, print "invalid try again" and loop back to re-read the Scanner.

Type person=null;

 while(person==null){
      System.out.println("Enter your play: "); 
      person= Type.parseType(scan.next());
      if(person ==null){
         System.out.println("invalid try again");
      }
 }

Furthermore, your type enum can determine what beats what by having each Type object know:

public enum Type{

    //...

    //each type will implement this method differently
    public abstract boolean beats(Type other);


}

each type will implement this method differently to see what beats what:

ROCK{

   @Override
   public boolean beats(Type other){            
        return other ==  SCISSOR;

   }
}

 ...

Then in your code

 Type person, computer;
   if (person.equals(computer)) 
   System.out.println("It's a tie!");
  }else if(person.beats(computer)){
     System.out.println(person+ " beats " + computer + "You win!!"); 
  }else{
     System.out.println(computer + " beats " + person+ "You lose!!");
  }

What is memoization and how can I use it in Python?

Memoization is keeping the results of expensive calculations and returning the cached result rather than continuously recalculating it.

Here's an example:

def doSomeExpensiveCalculation(self, input):
    if input not in self.cache:
        <do expensive calculation>
        self.cache[input] = result
    return self.cache[input]

A more complete description can be found in the wikipedia entry on memoization.

CSS rotation cross browser with jquery.animate()

To do this cross browser including IE7+, you will need to expand the plugin with a transformation matrix. Since vendor prefix is done in jQuery from jquery-1.8+ I will leave that out for the transform property.

$.fn.animateRotate = function(endAngle, options, startAngle)
{
    return this.each(function()
    {
        var elem = $(this), rad, costheta, sintheta, matrixValues, noTransform = !('transform' in this.style || 'webkitTransform' in this.style || 'msTransform' in this.style || 'mozTransform' in this.style || 'oTransform' in this.style),
            anims = {}, animsEnd = {};
        if(typeof options !== 'object')
        {
            options = {};
        }
        else if(typeof options.extra === 'object')
        {
            anims = options.extra;
            animsEnd = options.extra;
        }
        anims.deg = startAngle;
        animsEnd.deg = endAngle;
        options.step = function(now, fx)
        {
            if(fx.prop === 'deg')
            {
                if(noTransform)
                {
                    rad = now * (Math.PI * 2 / 360);
                    costheta = Math.cos(rad);
                    sintheta = Math.sin(rad);
                    matrixValues = 'M11=' + costheta + ', M12=-'+ sintheta +', M21='+ sintheta +', M22='+ costheta;
                    $('body').append('Test ' + matrixValues + '<br />');
                    elem.css({
                        'filter': 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(sizingMethod=\'auto expand\','+matrixValues+')',
                        '-ms-filter': 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(sizingMethod=\'auto expand\','+matrixValues+')'
                    });
                }
                else
                {
                    elem.css({
                        //webkitTransform: 'rotate('+now+'deg)',
                        //mozTransform: 'rotate('+now+'deg)',
                        //msTransform: 'rotate('+now+'deg)',
                        //oTransform: 'rotate('+now+'deg)',
                        transform: 'rotate('+now+'deg)'
                    });
                }
            }
        };
        if(startAngle)
        {
            $(anims).animate(animsEnd, options);
        }
        else
        {
            elem.animate(animsEnd, options);
        }
    });
};

Note: The parameters options and startAngle are optional, if you only need to set startAngle use {} or null for options.

Example usage:

var obj = $(document.createElement('div'));
obj.on("click", function(){
    obj.stop().animateRotate(180, {
        duration: 250,
        complete: function()
        {
            obj.animateRotate(0, {
                duration: 250
            });
        }
    });
});
obj.text('Click me!');
obj.css({cursor: 'pointer', position: 'absolute'});
$('body').append(obj);

See also this jsfiddle for a demo.

Update: You can now also pass extra: {} in the options. This will make you able to execute other animations simultaneously. For example:

obj.animateRotate(90, {extra: {marginLeft: '100px', opacity: 0.5}});

This will rotate the element 90 degrees, and move it to the right with 100px and make it semi-transparent all at the same time during the animation.

Break a previous commit into multiple commits

A quick reference of the necessary commands, because I basically know what to do but always forget the right syntax:

git rebase -i <sha1_before_split>
# mark the targeted commit with 'edit'
git reset HEAD^
git add ...
git commit -m "First part"
git add ...
git commit -m "Second part"
git rebase --continue

Round number to nearest integer

Your solution is calling round without specifying the second argument (number of decimal places)

>>> round(0.44)
0
>>> round(0.64)
1

which is a much better result than

>>> int(round(0.44, 2))
0
>>> int(round(0.64, 2))
0

From the Python documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round

round(number[, ndigits])

Return number rounded to ndigits precision after the decimal point. If ndigits is omitted or is None, it returns the nearest integer to its input.

Note

The behavior of round() for floats can be surprising: for example, round(2.675, 2) gives 2.67 instead of the expected 2.68. This is not a bug: it’s a result of the fact that most decimal fractions can’t be represented exactly as a float. See Floating Point Arithmetic: Issues and Limitations for more information.

tkinter: how to use after method

You need to give a function to be called after the time delay as the second argument to after:

after(delay_ms, callback=None, *args)

Registers an alarm callback that is called after a given time.

So what you really want to do is this:

tiles_letter = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

def add_letter():
    rand = random.choice(tiles_letter)
    tile_frame = Label(frame, text=rand)
    tile_frame.pack()
    root.after(500, add_letter)
    tiles_letter.remove(rand)  # remove that tile from list of tiles


root.after(0, add_letter)  # add_letter will run as soon as the mainloop starts.
root.mainloop()

You also need to schedule the function to be called again by repeating the call to after inside the callback function, since after only executes the given function once. This is also noted in the documentation:

The callback is only called once for each call to this method. To keep calling the callback, you need to reregister the callback inside itself

Note that your example will throw an exception as soon as you've exhausted all the entries in tiles_letter, so you need to change your logic to handle that case whichever way you want. The simplest thing would be to add a check at the beginning of add_letter to make sure the list isn't empty, and just return if it is:

def add_letter():
    if not tiles_letter:
        return
    rand = random.choice(tiles_letter)
    tile_frame = Label(frame, text=rand)
    tile_frame.pack()
    root.after(500, add_letter)
    tiles_letter.remove(rand)  # remove that tile from list of tiles

Remove characters from C# string

I needed to remove special characters from an XML file. Here's how I did it. char.ToString() is the hero in this code.

string fixed = item.Replace(DC4.ToString(), string.Empty);

How can I get enum possible values in a MySQL database?

It is extraordinary how none of you has thought that if you are using an enum field it means that the values to be assigned are known "a priori".

Therefore if the values are known "a priori" the best ways to manage them is through a very simple Enum class.

Kiss rule and save one database call.

React - how to pass state to another component

Move all of your state and your handleClick function from Header to your MainWrapper component.

Then pass values as props to all components that need to share this functionality.

class MainWrapper extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = {
            sidbarPushCollapsed: false,
            profileCollapsed: false
        };
        this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
    }
    handleClick() {
        this.setState({
            sidbarPushCollapsed: !this.state.sidbarPushCollapsed,
            profileCollapsed: !this.state.profileCollapsed

        });
    }
    render() {
        return (
           //...
           <Header 
               handleClick={this.handleClick} 
               sidbarPushCollapsed={this.state.sidbarPushCollapsed}
               profileCollapsed={this.state.profileCollapsed} />
        );

Then in your Header's render() method, you'd use this.props:

<button type="button" id="sidbarPush" onClick={this.props.handleClick} profile={this.props.profileCollapsed}>
