Programs & Examples On #Bayesian

Bayesian refers to methods in probability and statistics named after Thomas Bayes (ca. 1702–1761), in particular methods related to statistical inference

What are advantages of Artificial Neural Networks over Support Vector Machines?

Judging from the examples you provide, I'm assuming that by ANNs, you mean multilayer feed-forward networks (FF nets for short), such as multilayer perceptrons, because those are in direct competition with SVMs.

One specific benefit that these models have over SVMs is that their size is fixed: they are parametric models, while SVMs are non-parametric. That is, in an ANN you have a bunch of hidden layers with sizes h1 through hn depending on the number of features, plus bias parameters, and those make up your model. By contrast, an SVM (at least a kernelized one) consists of a set of support vectors, selected from the training set, with a weight for each. In the worst case, the number of support vectors is exactly the number of training samples (though that mainly occurs with small training sets or in degenerate cases) and in general its model size scales linearly. In natural language processing, SVM classifiers with tens of thousands of support vectors, each having hundreds of thousands of features, is not unheard of.

Also, online training of FF nets is very simple compared to online SVM fitting, and predicting can be quite a bit faster.

EDIT: all of the above pertains to the general case of kernelized SVMs. Linear SVM are a special case in that they are parametric and allow online learning with simple algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent.

XPath: Get parent node from child node

New, improved answer to an old, frequently asked question...

How could I get its parent? Result should be the store node.

Use a predicate rather than the parent:: or ancestor:: axis

Most answers here select the title and then traverse up to the targeted parent or ancestor (store) element. A simpler, direct approach is to select parent or ancestor element directly in the first place, obviating the need to traverse to a parent:: or ancestor:: axes:

//*[book/title = "50"]

Should the intervening elements vary in name:

//*[*/title = "50"]

Or, in name and depth:

//*[.//title = "50"]

How do you copy a record in a SQL table but swap out the unique id of the new row?

If "key" is your PK field and it's autonumeric.

insert into MyTable (field1, field2, field3, parentkey)
select field1, field2, null, key from MyTable where uniqueId = @Id

it will generate a new record, copying field1 and field2 from the original record

How to remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system

If the other answers don’t remove RVM throughly enough for you, RVM’s Troubleshooting page contains this section:

How do I completely clean out all traces of RVM from my system, including for system wide installs?

Here is a custom script which we name as cleanout-rvm. While you can definitely use rvm implode as a regular user or rvmsudo rvm implode for a system wide install, this script is useful as it steps completely outside of RVM and cleans out RVM without using RVM itself, leaving no traces.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/sudo rm -rf $HOME/.rvm $HOME/.rvmrc /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh /usr/local/rvm /usr/local/bin/rvm
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/groupdel rvm
/bin/echo "RVM is removed. Please check all .bashrc|.bash_profile|.profile|.zshrc for RVM source lines and delete
or comment out if this was a Per-User installation."

Add views in UIStackView programmatically

In my case the thing that was messing with I would expect was that I was missing this line:

stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;

After that no need to set constraints to my arranged subviews whatsoever, the stackview is taking care of that.

java calling a method from another class

You have to initialise the object (create the object itself) in order to be able to call its methods otherwise you would get a NullPointerException.

WordList words = new WordList();

SVN - Checksum mismatch while updating

I'm using Tortoise SVN, after tring all solution in this page and not working,

I finally back up the problem file. and use Repo Browser delete the problem file in it, then update local folder so the file in local folder is deleted. Then copy back the backup file and Add > Commit, then I can update successfully.

The only disadvantage of this method is the history of this file will be removed.

Java ArrayList Index

Using an Array:

String[] fruits = new String[3]; // make a 3 element array
fruits[0]="apple";
fruits[1]="banana";
fruits[2]="orange";
System.out.println(fruits[1]); // output the second element

Using a List

ArrayList<String> fruits = new ArrayList<String>();
fruits.add("apple");
fruits.add("banana");
fruits.add("orange");
System.out.println(fruits.get(1));

Elegant ways to support equivalence ("equality") in Python classes

The 'is' test will test for identity using the builtin 'id()' function which essentially returns the memory address of the object and therefore isn't overloadable.

However in the case of testing the equality of a class you probably want to be a little bit more strict about your tests and only compare the data attributes in your class:

import types

class ComparesNicely(object):

    def __eq__(self, other):
        for key, value in self.__dict__.iteritems():
            if (isinstance(value, types.FunctionType) or 
                    key.startswith("__")):
                continue

            if key not in other.__dict__:
                return False

            if other.__dict__[key] != value:
                return False

         return True

This code will only compare non function data members of your class as well as skipping anything private which is generally what you want. In the case of Plain Old Python Objects I have a base class which implements __init__, __str__, __repr__ and __eq__ so my POPO objects don't carry the burden of all that extra (and in most cases identical) logic.

How to save a spark DataFrame as csv on disk?

Writing dataframe to disk as csv is similar read from csv. If you want your result as one file, you can use coalesce.

df.coalesce(1)
      .write
      .option("header","true")
      .option("sep",",")
      .mode("overwrite")
      .csv("output/path")

If your result is an array you should use language specific solution, not spark dataframe api. Because all these kind of results return driver machine.

How can I delete one element from an array by value

So when you have multiple occurrences of 3 and you want only to delete the first occurrence of 3, you can simply do some thing as below.

arr = [2, 4, 6, 3, 8, 10, 3, 12]

arr.delete_at arr.index 3

#This will modify arr as [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 3, 12] where first occurrence of 3 is deleted. Returns the element deleted. In this case => 3.

CSS Background Opacity

You can use CSS 3 :before to have a semi-transparent background and you can do this with just one container. Use something like this

<article>
  Text.
</article>

Then apply some CSS

article {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1;
}

article::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0; 
  left: 0;
  width: 100%; 
  height: 100%;  
  opacity: .4; 
  z-index: -1;
  background: url(path/to/your/image);
}

Sample: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/avdsi

Note: You might need to adjust the z-index values.

WPF Data Binding and Validation Rules Best Practices

Also check this article. Supposedly Microsoft released their Enterprise Library (v4.0) from their patterns and practices where they cover the validation subject but god knows why they didn't included validation for WPF, so the blog post I'm directing you to, explains what the author did to adapt it. Hope this helps!

Resize HTML5 canvas to fit window

(function() {

    getViewportSize = function() {
        return {
            height: window.innerHeight,
            width:  window.innerWidth

    // update canvas size
    updateSizes = function() {
        var viewportSize = getViewportSize();
        $('#myCanvas').width(viewportSize.width).height(viewportSize.height);
        $('#myCanvas').attr('width', viewportSize.width).attr('height', viewportSize.height);
    };

    // run on load
    updateSizes();

    // handle window resizing
    $(window).on('resize', function() {
        updateSizes();
    });

}());

Bash script to run php script

I'm pretty sure something like this is what you are looking for:

#!/bin/sh

php /pathToScript/script.php

Save that with your desired script name (such as runPHP.sh) and give it execution rights, then you can use it however you want.

Edit: You might as well not use a bash script at all and just add the "php ..." command to the crontab, if I'm not mistaken.

Good luck!

What are all the uses of an underscore in Scala?

There is a specific example that "_" be used:

  type StringMatcher = String => (String => Boolean)

  def starts: StringMatcher = (prefix:String) => _ startsWith prefix

may be equal to :

  def starts: StringMatcher = (prefix:String) => (s)=>s startsWith prefix

Applying “_” in some scenarios will automatically convert to “(x$n) => x$n ”

How to import CSV file data into a PostgreSQL table?

You can use the pandas library if the file is note very large. Be careful when using iter over pandas dataframes. I am doing this here to demonstrate the possibility. One could also consider the pd.Dataframe.to_sql() function when copying from a dataframe to an sql table

Assuming you have created the table you want you could:

import psycopg2
import pandas as pd
data=pd.read_csv(r'path\to\file.csv', delimiter=' ')

#prepare your data and keep only relevant columns

data.drop(['col2', 'col4','col5'], axis=1, inplace=True)
data.dropna(inplace=True)
print(data.iloc[:3])


conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname=db user=postgres password=password")
cur=conn.cursor()

for index,row in data.iterrows():
      cur.execute('''insert into table (col1,col3,col6) 
    VALUES (%s,%s,%s)''', (row['col1'], row['col3'], row['col6'])
        
cur.close()
conn.commit()

conn.close()
print('\n db connection closed.')

Execute function after Ajax call is complete

try

var id;

for(var q = 1; q<=10; q++){
 $.ajax({  

 url: 'api.php',                        
 data: 'id1='+q+'',                                                         
 dataType: 'json',
 success: function(data)          
  {

    id = data[0];              
   vname = data[1];
   printWithAjax();
}
      });



}//end of the for statement
  }//end of ajax call function

What is the difference between Serialization and Marshaling?

Marshaling and serialization are loosely synonymous in the context of remote procedure call, but semantically different as a matter of intent.

In particular, marshaling is about getting parameters from here to there, while serialization is about copying structured data to or from a primitive form such as a byte stream. In this sense, serialization is one means to perform marshaling, usually implementing pass-by-value semantics.

It is also possible for an object to be marshaled by reference, in which case the data "on the wire" is simply location information for the original object. However, such an object may still be amenable to value serialization.

As @Bill mentions, there may be additional metadata such as code base location or even object implementation code.

Including dependencies in a jar with Maven

This post may be a bit old, but I also had the same problem recently. The first solution proposed by John Stauffer is a good one, but I had some problems as I am working this spring. The spring's dependency-jars I use have some property files and xml-schemas declaration which share the same paths and names. Although these jars come from the same versions, the jar-with-dependencies maven-goal was overwriting theses file with the last file found.

In the end, the application was not able to start as the spring jars could not find the correct properties files. In this case the solution propose by Rop have solved my problem.

Also since then, the spring-boot project now exist. It has a very cool way to manage this problem by providing a maven goal which overload the package goal and provide its own class loader. See spring-boots Reference Guide

Change the color of cells in one column when they don't match cells in another column

you could try this:

I have these two columns (column "A" and column "B"). I want to color them when the values between cells in the same row mismatch.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select the elements in column "A" (excluding A1);

  2. Click on "Conditional formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format";

  3. Insert the following formula: =IF(A2<>B2;1;0);

  4. Select the format options and click "OK";

  5. Select the elements in column "B" (excluding B1) and repeat the steps from 2 to 4.

How to find the type of an object in Go?

If we have this variables:

var counter int = 5
var message string  = "Hello"
var factor float32 = 4.2
var enabled bool = false

1: fmt.Printf %T format : to use this feature you should import "fmt"

fmt.Printf("%T \n",factor )   // factor type: float32

2: reflect.TypeOf function : to use this feature you should import "reflect"

fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(enabled)) // enabled type:  bool

3: reflect.ValueOf(X).Kind() : to use this feature you should import "reflect"

fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(counter).Kind()) // counter type:  int

How to remove a field completely from a MongoDB document?

In the beginning, I did not get why the question has a bounty (I thought that the question has a nice answer and there is nothing to add), but then I noticed that the answer which was accepted and upvoted 15 times was actually wrong!

Yes, you have to use $unset operator, but this unset is going to remove the words key which does not exist for a document for a collection. So basically it will do nothing.

So you need to tell Mongo to look in the document tags and then in the words using dot notation. So the correct query is.

db.example.update(
  {},
  { $unset: {'tags.words':1}},
  false, true
)

Just for the sake of completion, I will refer to another way of doing it, which is much worse, but this way you can change the field with any custom code (even based on another field from this document).

How do I tell whether my IE is 64-bit? (For that matter, Java too?)

Normally, you run IE 32 bit.
However, on 64-bit versions of Windows, there is a separate link in the Start Menu to Internet Explorer (64 bit). There's no real reason to use it, though.

In Help, About, the 64-bit version of IE will say 64-bit Edition (just after the full version string).

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE have separate addons lists (because 32-bit addons cannot be loaded in 64-bit IE, and vice-versa), so you should make sure that Java appears on both lists.

In general, you can tell whether a process is 32-bit or 64-bit by right-clicking the application in Task Manager and clicking Go To Process. 32-bit processes will end with *32.

What is a singleton in C#?

You asked for C#. Trivial example:


public class Singleton

    public static Singleton GetSingleton()
    {
        return _singleton;
    }

How do I get the base URL with PHP?

Fun 'base_url' snippet!

if (!function_exists('base_url')) {
    function base_url($atRoot=FALSE, $atCore=FALSE, $parse=FALSE){
        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
            $http = isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) !== 'off' ? 'https' : 'http';
            $hostname = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
            $dir =  str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

            $core = preg_split('@/@', str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], '', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))), NULL, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
            $core = $core[0];

            $tmplt = $atRoot ? ($atCore ? "%s://%s/%s/" : "%s://%s/") : ($atCore ? "%s://%s/%s/" : "%s://%s%s");
            $end = $atRoot ? ($atCore ? $core : $hostname) : ($atCore ? $core : $dir);
            $base_url = sprintf( $tmplt, $http, $hostname, $end );
        }
        else $base_url = 'http://localhost/';

        if ($parse) {
            $base_url = parse_url($base_url);
            if (isset($base_url['path'])) if ($base_url['path'] == '/') $base_url['path'] = '';
        }

        return $base_url;
    }
}

Use as simple as:

//  url like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2820723/how-to-get-base-url-with-php

echo base_url();    //  will produce something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2820723/
echo base_url(TRUE);    //  will produce something like: http://stackoverflow.com/
echo base_url(TRUE, TRUE); || echo base_url(NULL, TRUE);    //  will produce something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/
//  and finally
echo base_url(NULL, NULL, TRUE);
//  will produce something like: 
//      array(3) {
//          ["scheme"]=>
//          string(4) "http"
//          ["host"]=>
//          string(12) "stackoverflow.com"
//          ["path"]=>
//          string(35) "/questions/2820723/"
//      }

Catch browser's "zoom" event in JavaScript

Lets define px_ratio as below:

px ratio = ratio of physical pixel to css px.

if any one zoom The Page, the viewport pxes (px is different from pixel ) reduces and should be fit to The screen so the ratio (physical pixel / CSS_px ) must get bigger.

but in window Resizing, screen size reduces as well as pxes. so the ratio will maintain.

zooming: trigger windows.resize event --> and change px_ratio

but

resizing: trigger windows.resize event --> doesn’t change px_ratio

//for zoom detection
px_ratio = window.devicePixelRatio || window.screen.availWidth / document.documentElement.clientWidth;

$(window).resize(function(){isZooming();});

function isZooming(){
    var newPx_ratio = window.devicePixelRatio || window.screen.availWidth / document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    if(newPx_ratio != px_ratio){
        px_ratio = newPx_ratio;
        console.log("zooming");
        return true;
    }else{
        console.log("just resizing");
        return false;
    }
}

The key point is difference between CSS PX and Physical Pixel.

How to set index.html as root file in Nginx?

For me, the try_files directive in the (currently most voted) answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/11957896/608359 led to rewrite cycles,

*173 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting

I had better luck with the index directive. Note that I used a forward slash before the name, which might or might not be what you want.

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name example.com;

  root /home/dclo/example;
  index /index.html;
  error_page 404 /index.html;

  # ... ssl configuration
}

In this case, I wanted all paths to lead to /index.html, including when returning a 404.

How to record phone calls in android?

Ok, for this first of all you need to use Device Policy Manager, and need to make your device Admin device. After that you have to create one BroadCast receiver and one service. I am posting code here and its working fine.

MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 0;
    private DevicePolicyManager mDPM;
    private ComponentName mAdminName;

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

        try {
            // Initiate DevicePolicyManager.
            mDPM = (DevicePolicyManager) getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
            mAdminName = new ComponentName(this, DeviceAdminDemo.class);

                intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN, mAdminName);
                intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_ADD_EXPLANATION, "Click on Activate button to secure your application.");

the best way to make codeigniter website multi-language. calling from lang arrays depends on lang session?

For easier use CI have updated this so you can just use

$this->load->helper('language');

and to translate text

lang('language line');

and if you want to warp it inside label then use optional parameter

lang('language line', 'element id');

This will output

// becomes <label for="form_item_id">language_key</label>

How many files can I put in a directory?

The biggest issue I've run into is on a 32-bit system. Once you pass a certain number, tools like 'ls' stop working.

Trying to do anything with that directory once you pass that barrier becomes a huge problem.

Code for best fit straight line of a scatter plot in python

You can use numpy's polyfit. I use the following (you can safely remove the bit about coefficient of determination and error bounds, I just think it looks nice):

#!/usr/bin/python3

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import csv

with open("example.csv", "r") as f:
    data = [row for row in csv.reader(f)]
    xd = [float(row[0]) for row in data]
    yd = [float(row[1]) for row in data]

# sort the data
reorder = sorted(range(len(xd)), key = lambda ii: xd[ii])
xd = [xd[ii] for ii in reorder]
yd = [yd[ii] for ii in reorder]

# make the scatter plot
plt.scatter(xd, yd, s=30, alpha=0.15, marker='o')

# determine best fit line
par = np.polyfit(xd, yd, 1, full=True)

slope=par[0][0]
intercept=par[0][1]
xl = [min(xd), max(xd)]
yl = [slope*xx + intercept  for xx in xl]

# coefficient of determination, plot text
variance = np.var(yd)
residuals = np.var([(slope*xx + intercept - yy)  for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)])
Rsqr = np.round(1-residuals/variance, decimals=2)
plt.text(.9*max(xd)+.1*min(xd),.9*max(yd)+.1*min(yd),'$R^2 = %0.2f$'% Rsqr, fontsize=30)

plt.xlabel("X Description")
plt.ylabel("Y Description")

# error bounds
yerr = [abs(slope*xx + intercept - yy)  for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]
par = np.polyfit(xd, yerr, 2, full=True)

yerrUpper = [(xx*slope+intercept)+(par[0][0]*xx**2 + par[0][1]*xx + par[0][2]) for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]
yerrLower = [(xx*slope+intercept)-(par[0][0]*xx**2 + par[0][1]*xx + par[0][2]) for xx,yy in zip(xd,yd)]

plt.plot(xl, yl, '-r')
plt.plot(xd, yerrLower, '--r')

How to convert binary string value to decimal

Test it

import java.util.Scanner;
public class BinaryToDecimal{

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    int binaryNumber = 0;
    int counter = 0;
    int number = 0;


    System.out.print("Input binary number: ");
    binaryNumber = input.nextInt();

    //it's going to stop when the binaryNumber/10 is less than 0
    //example:
    //binaryNumber = 11/10. The result value is 1 when you do the next
    //operation 1/10 . The result value is 0     

    while(binaryNumber != 0)
    {
        //Obtaining the remainder of the division and multiplying it 
        //with the number raised to two

        //adding it up with the previous result

        number += ((binaryNumber % 10)) * Math.pow(2,counter);

        binaryNumber /= 10;  //removing one digit from the binary number

        //Increasing counter 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, 2^3.....
        counter++;

    }
    System.out.println("Decimal number : " + number);


}

How to update UI from another thread running in another class

Thank God, Microsoft got that figured out in WPF :)

Every Control, like a progress bar, button, form, etc. has a Dispatcher on it. You can give the Dispatcher an Action that needs to be performed, and it will automatically call it on the correct thread (an Action is like a function delegate).

You can find an example here.

Of course, you'll have to have the control accessible from other classes, e.g. by making it public and handing a reference to the Window to your other class, or maybe by passing a reference only to the progress bar.

Click a button programmatically - JS

I have never developed with HangOut. I ran into the same problems with FB-login and I was trying so hard to get it to click programatically. Then later I discovered that the sdk won't allow you to programatically click the button because of some security reasons. The user has to physically click on the button. This also happens with async asp fileupload button. So please check if HangOut does allow you to programatically click a buttton. All above codes are correct and they should work. If you dig deep enough you will see that my answer is the right answer for your situation you.

Not receiving Google OAuth refresh token

In order to get the refresh_token you need to include access_type=offline in the OAuth request URL. When a user authenticates for the first time you will get back a non-nil refresh_token as well as an access_token that expires.

If you have a situation where a user might re-authenticate an account you already have an authentication token for (like @SsjCosty mentions above), you need to get back information from Google on which account the token is for. To do that, add profile to your scopes. Using the OAuth2 Ruby gem, your final request might look something like this:

client = OAuth2::Client.new(
  ENV["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
  ENV["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
  authorize_url: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  token_url: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
)

# Configure authorization url
client.authorize_url(
  scope: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly profile",
  redirect_uri: callback_url,
  access_type: "offline",
  prompt: "select_account"
)

Note the scope has two space-delimited entries, one for read-only access to Google Analytics, and the other is just profile, which is an OpenID Connect standard.

This will result in Google providing an additional attribute called id_token in the get_token response. To get information out of the id_token, check out this page in the Google docs. There are a handful of Google-provided libraries that will validate and “decode” this for you (I used the Ruby google-id-token gem). Once you get it parsed, the sub parameter is effectively the unique Google account ID.

Worth noting, if you change the scope, you'll get back a refresh token again for users that have already authenticated with the original scope. This is useful if, say, you have a bunch of users already and don't want to make them all un-auth the app in Google.

Oh, and one final note: you don't need prompt=select_account, but it's useful if you have a situation where your users might want to authenticate with more than one Google account (i.e., you're not using this for sign-in / authentication).

Can an abstract class have a constructor?

Although there are many good answers, I would like to give my 2 cents.

Constructor DOES NOT BUILD THE OBJECT. It is used to initialize an object.

Yes, an Abstract class always has a constructor. If you do not define your own constructor, the compiler will give a default constructor to the Abstract class. Above holds true for all classes - nested, abstract, anonymous, etc.

An abstract class (unlike interface) can have non-final non-static fields which need initialization. You can write your own constructor in the abstract class to do that. But, in that case, there won't be any default constructor.

public abstract class Abs{
    int i;
    int j;
    public Abs(int i,int j){
        this.i = i;
        this.j = j;
        System.out.println(i+" "+j);
    }
}

Be careful while extending above abstract class, you have to explicitly call super from each constructor. The first line of any constructor calls to super(). if you do not explicitly call super(), Java will do that for you. Below code will not compile:

public class Imp extends Abs{

public Imp(int i, int j,int k, int l){
    System.out.println("2 arg");
}
}

You have to use it like below example:

public class Imp extends Abs{

public Imp(int i, int j,int k, int l){
    super(i,j);
    System.out.println("2 arg");
}
}

Temporarily disable all foreign key constraints

not need to run queries to sidable FKs on sql. If you have a FK from table A to B, you should:

  • delete data from table A
  • delete data from table B
  • insert data on B
  • insert data on A

You can also tell the destination not to check constraints

Using openssl to get the certificate from a server

You can get and store the server root certificate using next bash script:

CERTS=$(echo -n | openssl s_client -connect $HOST_NAME:$PORT -showcerts | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p')
echo "$CERTS" | awk -v RS="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" 'NR > 1 { printf RS $0 > "'$SERVER_ROOT_CERTIFICATE'"; close("'$SERVER_ROOT_CERTIFICATE'") }'

Just overwrite required variables.

Convert/cast an stdClass object to another class

Convert it to an array, return the first element of that array, and set the return param to that class. Now you should get the autocomplete for that class as it will regconize it as that class instead of stdclass.

/**
 * @return Order
 */
    public function test(){
    $db = new Database();

    $order = array();
    $result = $db->getConnection()->query("select * from `order` where productId in (select id from product where name = 'RTX 2070')");
    $data = $result->fetch_object("Order"); //returns stdClass
    array_push($order, $data);

    $db->close();
    return $order[0];
}

JSP : JSTL's <c:out> tag

c:out escapes HTML characters so that you can avoid cross-site scripting.

if person.name = <script>alert("Yo")</script>

the script will be executed in the second case, but not when using c:out

What is the C++ function to raise a number to a power?

pow() in the cmath library. More info here. Don't forget to put #include<cmath> at the top of the file.

center aligning a fixed position div

For the ones having this same problem, but with a responsive design, you can also use:

width: 75%;
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -37.5%;

Doing this will always keep your fixed div centered on the screen, even with a responsive design.

Create a shortcut on Desktop

I use "Windows Script Host Object Model" reference to create shortcut.

Adding "Windows Script Host Object Model" to project references

and to create shortcut on specific location:

    void CreateShortcut(string linkPath, string filename)
    {
        // Create shortcut dir if not exists
        if (!Directory.Exists(linkPath))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(linkPath);

        // shortcut file name
        string linkName = Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetFileName(filename), ".lnk");

        // COM object instance/props
        IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell shell = new IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell();
        IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut sc = (IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)shell.CreateShortcut(linkName);
        sc.Description = "some desc";
        //shortcut.IconLocation = @"C:\..."; 
        sc.TargetPath = linkPath;
        // save shortcut to target
        sc.Save();
    }

Reading from file using read() function

fgets would work for you. here is very good documentation on this :-
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/fgets/

If you don't want to use fgets, following method will work for you :-

int readline(FILE *f, char *buffer, size_t len)
{
   char c; 
   int i;

   memset(buffer, 0, len);

   for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
   {   
      int c = fgetc(f); 

      if (!feof(f)) 
      {   
         if (c == '\r')
            buffer[i] = 0;
         else if (c == '\n')
         {   
            buffer[i] = 0;

            return i+1;
         }   
         else
            buffer[i] = c; 
      }   
      else
      {   
         //fprintf(stderr, "read_line(): recv returned %d\n", c);
         return -1; 
      }   
   }   

   return -1; 
}

Path to MSBuild

Poking around the registry, it looks like

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\2.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\3.5
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0

may be what you're after; fire up regedit.exe and have a look.

Query via command line (per Nikolay Botev)

reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0" /v MSBuildToolsPath

Query via PowerShell (per MovGP0)

dir HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\

Check if a string is null or empty in XSLT

By my experience the best way is:

<xsl:when test="not(string(categoryName))">
    <xsl:value-of select="other" />
</xsl:when>
<otherwise>
    <xsl:value-of select="categoryName" />
</otherwise>

jquery find element by specific class when element has multiple classes

You can select elements with multiple classes like so:

$("element.firstClass.anotherClass");

Simply chain the next class onto the first one, without a space (spaces mean "children of").

Transaction marked as rollback only: How do I find the cause

apply the below code in productRepository

@Query("update Product set prodName=:name where prodId=:id ") @Transactional @Modifying int updateMyData(@Param("name")String name, @Param("id") Integer id);

while in junit test apply below code

@Test
public void updateData()
{
  int i=productRepository.updateMyData("Iphone",102);

  System.out.println("successfully updated ... ");
  assertTrue(i!=0);

}

it is working fine for my code

How to convert any Object to String?

"toString()" is Very useful method which returns a string representation of an object. The "toString()" method returns a string reperentation an object.It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

Declaration: java.lang.Object.toString()

Since, you have not mentioned which object you want to convert, so I am just using any object in sample code.

Integer integerObject = 5;
String convertedStringObject = integerObject .toString();
System.out.println(convertedStringObject );

You can find the complete code here. You can test the code here.

How to replace multiple strings in a file using PowerShell

To get the post by George Howarth working properly with more than one replacement you need to remove the break, assign the output to a variable ($line) and then output the variable:

$lookupTable = @{
    'something1' = 'something1aa'
    'something2' = 'something2bb'
    'something3' = 'something3cc'
    'something4' = 'something4dd'
    'something5' = 'something5dsf'
    'something6' = 'something6dfsfds'
}

$original_file = 'path\filename.abc'
$destination_file =  'path\filename.abc.new'

Get-Content -Path $original_file | ForEach-Object {

mysql query result into php array

What about this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{
    $new_array[$row['id']]['id'] = $row['id'];
    $new_array[$row['id']]['link'] = $row['link'];
}

To retrieve link and id:

foreach($new_array as $array)
{       
   echo $array['id'].'<br />';
   echo $array['link'].'<br />';
}

How do I use JDK 7 on Mac OSX?

This is how I got 1.7 to work with Eclipse. I hope it helps.

  1. I Downloaded the latest OpenJDK 1.7 universal (32/64 bits) JDK from Mac OS/X branch from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
  2. copied the jdk to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ next to the default 1.6.0 one
  3. In Eclipse > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs you add a new one, of type MacOS X VM, and set the home as /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home and name Java SE 7 (OpenJDK)
  4. Click Finish
  5. Set the added JRE as default

that should be it :)

Is there shorthand for returning a default value if None in Python?

x or "default"

works best — i can even use a function call inline, without executing it twice or using extra variable:

self.lineEdit_path.setText( self.getDir(basepath) or basepath )

I use it when opening Qt's dialog.getExistingDirectory() and canceling, which returns empty string.

How to get the total number of rows of a GROUP BY query?

What about putting the query results in an array, where you can do a count($array) and use the query resulting rows after? Example:

$sc='SELECT * FROM comments';
$res=array();
foreach($db->query($sc) as $row){
    $res[]=$row;
}

echo "num rows: ".count($res);
echo "Select output:";
foreach($res as $row){ echo $row['comment'];}

How do I iterate through lines in an external file with shell?

How to convert date to string and to date again?

How to convert date to string and to date again?

LocalDate.now().toString()

2017-01-23

…and…

LocalDate.parse( "2017-01-23" )

java.time

The Question uses troublesome old date-time classes bundled with the earliest versions of Java. Those classes are now legacy, supplanted by the java.time classes built into Java 8, Java 9, and later.

Determining today’s date requires a time zone. For any given moment the date varies around the globe by zone.

If not supplied by you, your JVM’s current default time zone is applied. That default can change at any moment during runtime, and so is unreliable. I suggest you always specify your desired/expected time zone.

ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" ) ;
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.now( z ) ;

ISO 8601

Your desired format of YYYY-MM-DD happens to comply with the ISO 8601 standard.

That standard happens to be used by default by the java.time classes when parsing/generating strings. So you can simply call LocalDate::parse and LocalDate::toString without specifying a formatting pattern.

String s = ld.toString() ;

To parse:

LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse( s ) ;

About java.time

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

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

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

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

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

Twitter Bootstrap hide css class and jQuery

This is what I do for those situations:

I don't start the html element with class 'hide', but I put style="display: none".

This is because bootstrap jquery modifies the style attribute and not the classes to hide/unhide.

Example:

<button type="button" id="btn_cancel" class="btn default" style="display: none">Cancel</button>

or

<button type="button" id="btn_cancel" class="btn default display-hide">Cancel</button>

Later on, you can run all the following that will work:

$('#btn_cancel').toggle() // toggle between hide/unhide
$('#btn_cancel').hide()
$('#btn_cancel').show()

You can also uso the class of Twitter Bootstrap 'display-hide', which also works with the jQuery IU .toggle() method.

Java: Casting Object to Array type

How to overload __init__ method based on argument type?

Excellent question. I've tackled this problem as well, and while I agree that "factories" (class-method constructors) are a good method, I would like to suggest another, which I've also found very useful:

Here's a sample (this is a read method and not a constructor, but the idea is the same):

def read(self, str=None, filename=None, addr=0):
    """ Read binary data and return a store object. The data
        store is also saved in the interal 'data' attribute.

        The data can either be taken from a string (str 
        argument) or a file (provide a filename, which will 
        be read in binary mode). If both are provided, the str 
        will be used. If neither is provided, an ArgumentError 
        is raised.
    """
    if str is None:
        if filename is None:
            raise ArgumentError('Please supply a string or a filename')

        file = open(filename, 'rb')
        str = file.read()
        file.close()
    ...
    ... # rest of code

The key idea is here is using Python's excellent support for named arguments to implement this. Now, if I want to read the data from a file, I say:

obj.read(filename="blob.txt")

And to read it from a string, I say:

obj.read(str="\x34\x55")

This way the user has just a single method to call. Handling it inside, as you saw, is not overly complex

How to delete a cookie?

Here is an implementation of a delete cookie function with unicode support from Mozilla:

function removeItem(sKey, sPath, sDomain) {
    document.cookie = encodeURIComponent(sKey) + 
                  "=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT" + 
                  (sDomain ? "; domain=" + sDomain : "") + 
                  (sPath ? "; path=" + sPath : "");
}

removeItem("cookieName");

If you use AngularJs, try $cookies.remove (underneath it uses a similar approach):

$cookies.remove('cookieName');

What does the 'b' character do in front of a string literal?

The answer to the question is that, it does:

Best practices for circular shift (rotate) operations in C++

C++20 std::rotl and std::rotr

It has arrived! http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0553r4.html and should add it to the <bit> header.

cppreference says that the usage will be like:

#include <bit>
#include <bitset>
#include <cstdint>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::uint8_t i = 0b00011101;
    std::cout << "i          = " << std::bitset<8>(i) << '\n';
    std::cout << "rotl(i,0)  = " << std::bitset<8>(std::rotl(i,0)) << '\n';
    std::cout << "rotl(i,1)  = " << std::bitset<8>(std::rotl(i,1)) << '\n';
    std::cout << "rotl(i,4)  = " << std::bitset<8>(std::rotl(i,4)) << '\n';
    std::cout << "rotl(i,9)  = " << std::bitset<8>(std::rotl(i,9)) << '\n';
    std::cout << "rotl(i,-1) = " << std::bitset<8>(std::rotl(i,-1)) << '\n';
}

giving output:

i          = 00011101
rotl(i,0)  = 00011101
rotl(i,1)  = 00111010
rotl(i,4)  = 11010001
rotl(i,9)  = 00111010
rotl(i,-1) = 10001110

I'll give it a try when support arrives to GCC, GCC 9.1.0 with g++-9 -std=c++2a still doesn't support it.

The proposal says:

Header:

namespace std {
  // 25.5.5, rotating   
  template<class T>
    [[nodiscard]] constexpr T rotl(T x, int s) noexcept;
  template<class T>
    [[nodiscard]] constexpr T rotr(T x, int s) noexcept;

and:

25.5.5 Rotating [bitops.rot]

In the following descriptions, let N denote std::numeric_limits<T>::digits.

template<class T>
  [[nodiscard]] constexpr T rotl(T x, int s) noexcept;

Constraints: T is an unsigned integer type (3.9.1 [basic.fundamental]).

Let r be s % N.

Returns: If r is 0, x; if r is positive, (x << r) | (x >> (N - r)); if r is negative, rotr(x, -r).

template<class T>
  [[nodiscard]] constexpr T rotr(T x, int s) noexcept;

Constraints: T is an unsigned integer type (3.9.1 [basic.fundamental]). Let r be s % N.

Returns: If r is 0, x; if r is positive, (x >> r) | (x << (N - r)); if r is negative, rotl(x, -r).

Inserting line breaks into PDF

If you are using fpdf, in order to be able to use line breaks you will need to use a multi-line text cell as described here.

If you use this, then line breaks in your text should be interpreted and converted correctly.

Just a quick example:

$pdf->Multicell(0,2,"This is a multi-line text string\nNew line\nNew line"); 

Here, 2 is the height of the multi-line text box. I don't know what units that's measured in or if you can just set it to 0 and ignore it. Perhaps try it with a large number if at first it doesn't work.

what is .subscribe in angular?

In Angular (currently on Angular-6) .subscribe() is a method on the Observable type. The Observable type is a utility that asynchronously or synchronously streams data to a variety of components or services that have subscribed to the observable.

The observable is an implementation/abstraction over the promise chain and will be a part of ES7 as a proposed and very supported feature. In Angular it is used internally due to rxjs being a development dependency.

An observable itself can be thought of as a stream of data coming from a source, in Angular this source is an API-endpoint, a service, a database or another observable. But the power it has is that it's not expecting a single response. It can have one or many values that are returned.

Link to rxjs for observable/subscribe docs here: https://rxjs-dev.firebaseapp.com/api/index/class/Observable#subscribe-

Subscribe takes 3 methods as parameters each are functions:

  • next: For each item being emitted by the observable perform this function
  • error: If somewhere in the stream an error is found, do this method
  • complete: Once all items are complete from the stream, do this method

Within each of these, there is the potentional to pipe (or chain) other utilities called operators onto the results to change the form or perform some layered logic.

In the simple example above:

.subscribe(hero => this.hero = hero); basically says on this observable take the hero being emitted and set it to this.hero.

Adding this answer to give more context to Observables based off the documentation and my understanding.

With CSS, how do I make an image span the full width of the page as a background image?

Background images, ideally, are always done with CSS. All other images are done with html. This will span the whole background of your site.

body {
  background: url('../images/cat.ong');
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  background-attachment: fixed;
}

"Bitmap too large to be uploaded into a texture"

I used Picasso and had the same problem. image was too large at least in on size, width or height. finally I found the solution here. you can scale the large image down according to display size and also keep the aspect ratio:

    public Point getDisplaySize(Display display) {
    Point size = new Point();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2) {
        display.getSize(size);
    } else {
        int width = display.getWidth();
        int height = display.getHeight();
        size = new Point(width, height);
    }

    return size;
}

and use this method for loading image by Picasso:

    final Point displySize = getDisplaySize(getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay());
        final int size = (int) Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(displySize.x * displySize.y));
        Picasso.with(this)
                .load(urlSource)
                .resize(size, size)
                .centerInside()
                .into(imageViewd);

also for better performance you can download the image according to width and height of the display screen, not whole the image:

    public String reviseImageUrl(final Integer displayWidth,     final Integer displayHeight,
        final String originalImageUrl) {
    final String revisedImageUrl;

    if (displayWidth == null && displayHeight == null) {
        revisedImageUrl = originalImageUrl;
    } else {
        final Uri.Builder uriBuilder = Uri.parse(originalImageUrl).buildUpon();

        if (displayWidth != null && displayWidth > 0) {
            uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(QUERY_KEY_DISPLAY_WIDTH, String.valueOf(displayWidth));
        }

        if (displayHeight != null && displayHeight > 0) {
            uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(QUERY_KEY_DISPLAY_HEIGHT, String.valueOf(displayHeight));
        }

        revisedImageUrl = uriBuilder.toString();
    }

    return revisedImageUrl;
}

    final String newImageUlr = reviseImageUrl(displySize.x, displySize.y, urlSource);

and then:

    Picasso.with(this)
                .load(newImageUlr)
                .resize(size, size)
                .centerInside()
                .into(imageViewd);

EDIT: getDisplaySize()

display.getWidth()/getHeight() is deprecated. Instead of Display use DisplayMetrics.

public Point getDisplaySize(DisplayMetrics displayMetrics) {
        int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
        int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
        return new Point(width, height);
}

Warn user before leaving web page with unsaved changes

I made following code. It can compare changes in all fields (except those marked with .ignoreDirty class) or optionally for currently visible fields only. It can be reinitialized for new fields added by Javascript. From that reason I save not the form status but the status of each control.

/* Dirty warning for forms */
dirty = (skipHiddenOrNullToInit) => {
    /*  will return True if there are changes in form(s)
        for first initialization you can use both: .dirty(null) or .dirty() (ignore its result)
            .dirty(null) will (re)initialize all controls - in addititon use it after Save if you stay on same page
            .dirty() will initialize new controls - in addititon use it if you add new fields with JavaScript
        then
            .dirty() (or: .dirty(false)) says if data are changed without regard to hidden fields
            .dirty(true) says if data are changed with regard to hidden fields (ie. fields with .d-none or .hidden class)
        controls with .ignoreDirty class will be skipped always
        previous about .d-none, .hidden, .ignoreDirty applies to the control itself and all its ancestors
    */
    let isDirty = false;
    let skipSelectors = '.ignoreDirty';
    if (skipHiddenOrNullToInit) {
        skipSelectors += ', .d-none, .hidden'
    } else if (skipHiddenOrNullToInit === undefined) {
        skipHiddenOrNullToInit = false;
    }
    $('input, select').each(
    function(_idx, el) {
        if ($(el).prop('type') !== 'hidden') {
            let dirtyInit = $(el).data('dirty-init');
            if (skipHiddenOrNullToInit === null || dirtyInit === undefined) {
                try {
                    isChromeAutofillEl = $(el).is(":-webkit-autofill");
                } catch (error) {
                    isChromeAutofillEl = false;
                }
                if (isChromeAutofillEl && $(el).data('dirty-init') === undefined) {
                    setTimeout(function() {  // otherwise problem with Chrome autofilled controls
                        $(el).data('dirty-init', $(el).val());
                    }, 200)
                } else {
                    $(el).data('dirty-init', $(el).val());
                }
            } else if ($(el).closest(skipSelectors).length === 0 && dirtyInit !== $(el).val()) {
                isDirty = true;
                return false; // breaks jQuery .each
            }
        }
    }
    );
    return isDirty;
}

I have additional troubles with Chrome autofill values because it is difficult to initizialize and have them loaded already. So I do not initialize on page load but in any focusin event. (But: Maybe there is still problem with control values changed by JavaScript.) I use following code which I call at page load:

let init_dirty = (ifStayFunc) => {
    /*  ifStayFunc: optional callback when user decides to stay on page
    use .clearDirty class to avoid warning on some button, however:
        if the button fires JavaScript do't use .clearDirty class and instead
            use directly dirty(null) in code - to be sure it will run before window.location */
    $('input, select').on('focusin', function(evt) {
        if (!$('body').data('dirty_initialized')) {
            dirty();
            $('body').data('dirty_initialized', true);
        }
    });
    window.addEventListener('beforeunload', (evt) => {
        if (dirty(true)) {
            if (ifStayFunc) {
                ifStayFunc();
            }
            evt.preventDefault();
            evt.returnValue = '';  // at least Google Chrome requires this
        }
    });
    $('.clearDirty').on('click', function(evt) {
        dirty(null);
    });
};

So, I add the .clearDirty class to the buttons which provide Save and that way I prevent the warning in this case. Callback ifStayFunc allows me to do something if user will Stay on Page while he is warned. Typically I can show additional Save Button (if I have still visible only some default/primary button, which makes Safe+SomethingMore - and I want allow Save withou this "SomethingMore").

Using multiple parameters in URL in express

app.get('/fruit/:fruitName/:fruitColor', function(req, res) {
    var data = {
        "fruit": {
            "apple": req.params.fruitName,
            "color": req.params.fruitColor
        }
    }; 

    send.json(data);
});

If that doesn't work, try using console.log(req.params) to see what it is giving you.

Using CMake to generate Visual Studio C++ project files

Lots of great answers here but they might be superseded by this CMake support in Visual Studio (Oct 5 2016)

Deploying just HTML, CSS webpage to Tomcat

Here's my step in Ubuntu 16.04 and Tomcat 8.

  1. Copy folder /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT to your folder.

    cp -r /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/{yourfolder}

  2. Add your html, css, js, to your folder.

  3. Open "http://localhost:8080/{yourfolder}" in browser

Notes:

  1. If you using chrome web browser and did wrong folder before, then clean web browser's cache(or change another name) otherwise (sometimes) it always 404.

  2. The folder META-INF with context.xml is needed.

'0000-00-00 00:00:00' can not be represented as java.sql.Timestamp error

I wrestled with this problem and implemented the URL concatenation solution contributed by @Kushan in the accepted answer above. It worked in my local MySql instance. But when I deployed my Play/Scala app to Heroku it no longer would work. Heroku also concatenates several args to the DB URL that they provide users, and this solution, because of Heroku's use concatenation of "?" before their own set of args, will not work. However I found a different solution which seems to work equally well.

SET sql_mode = 'NO_ZERO_DATE';

I put this in my table descriptions and it solved the problem of '0000-00-00 00:00:00' can not be represented as java.sql.Timestamp

UPDATE if exists else INSERT in SQL Server 2008

Many people will suggest you use MERGE, but I caution you against it. By default, it doesn't protect you from concurrency and race conditions any more than multiple statements, but it does introduce other dangers:

  INSERT dbo.table(PK, ...) SELECT @PK, ...;
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION;

A lot of folks will suggest this way:

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM dbo.table WHERE PK = @PK)
BEGIN
  UPDATE ...
END
ELSE
BEGIN
  INSERT ...
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION;

But all this accomplishes is ensuring you may need to read the table twice to locate the row(s) to be updated. In the first sample, you will only ever need to locate the row(s) once. (In both cases, if no rows are found from the initial read, an insert occurs.)

Others will suggest this way:

BEGIN TRY
  INSERT ...
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
  IF ERROR_NUMBER() = 2627
    UPDATE ...
END CATCH

However, this is problematic if for no other reason than letting SQL Server catch exceptions that you could have prevented in the first place is much more expensive, except in the rare scenario where almost every insert fails. I prove as much here:

Not sure what you think you gain by having a single statement; I don't think you gain anything. MERGE is a single statement but it still has to really perform multiple operations anyway - even though it makes you think it doesn't.

Angular: date filter adds timezone, how to output UTC?

The 'Z' is what adds the timezone info. As for output UTC, that seems to be the subject of some confusion -- people seem to gravitate toward moment.js.

Borrowing from this answer, you could do something like this without moment.js:

controller

var app1 = angular.module('app1',[]);

app1.controller('ctrl',['$scope',function($scope){

  var toUTCDate = function(date){
    var _utc = new Date(date.getUTCFullYear(), date.getUTCMonth(), date.getUTCDate(),  date.getUTCHours(), date.getUTCMinutes(), date.getUTCSeconds());
    return _utc;
  };

  var millisToUTCDate = function(millis){
    return toUTCDate(new Date(millis));
  };

    $scope.toUTCDate = toUTCDate;
    $scope.millisToUTCDate = millisToUTCDate;

  }]);

template

<html ng-app="app1">

  <head>
    <script data-require="angular.js@*" data-semver="1.2.12" src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.12/angular.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div ng-controller="ctrl">
      <div>
      utc {{millisToUTCDate(1400167800) | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
      <div>
      local {{1400167800 | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>

here's plunker to play with it

See also this and this.

Also note that with this method, if you use the 'Z' from Angular's date filter, it seems it will still print your local timezone offset.

How can I display a modal dialog in Redux that performs asynchronous actions?

A lot of good solutions and valuable commentaries by known experts from JS community on the topic could be found here. It could be an indicator that it's not that trivial problem as it may seem. I think this is why it could be the source of doubts and uncertainty on the issue.

Fundamental problem here is that in React you're only allowed to mount component to its parent, which is not always the desired behavior. But how to address this issue?

I propose the solution, addressed to fix this issue. More detailed problem definition, src and examples can be found here: https://github.com/fckt/react-layer-stack#rationale

Rationale

react/react-dom comes comes with 2 basic assumptions/ideas:

  • every UI is hierarchical naturally. This why we have the idea of components which wrap each other
  • react-dom mounts (physically) child component to its parent DOM node by default

The problem is that sometimes the second property isn't what you want in your case. Sometimes you want to mount your component into different physical DOM node and hold logical connection between parent and child at the same time.

Canonical example is Tooltip-like component: at some point of development process you could find that you need to add some description for your UI element: it'll render in fixed layer and should know its coordinates (which are that UI element coord or mouse coords) and at the same time it needs information whether it needs to be shown right now or not, its content and some context from parent components. This example shows that sometimes logical hierarchy isn't match with the physical DOM hierarchy.

Take a look at https://github.com/fckt/react-layer-stack/blob/master/README.md#real-world-usage-example to see the concrete example which is answer to your question:

import { Layer, LayerContext } from 'react-layer-stack'
// ... for each `object` in array of `objects`
  const modalId = 'DeleteObjectConfirmation' + objects[rowIndex].id
  return (
    <Cell {...props}>
        // the layer definition. The content will show up in the LayerStackMountPoint when `show(modalId)` be fired in LayerContext
        <Layer use={[objects[rowIndex], rowIndex]} id={modalId}> {({
            hideMe, // alias for `hide(modalId)`
            index } // useful to know to set zIndex, for example
            , e) => // access to the arguments (click event data in this example)
          <Modal onClick={ hideMe } zIndex={(index + 1) * 1000}>
            <ConfirmationDialog
              title={ 'Delete' }
              message={ "You're about to delete to " + '"' + objects[rowIndex].name + '"' }
              confirmButton={ <Button type="primary">DELETE</Button> }
              onConfirm={ this.handleDeleteObject.bind(this, objects[rowIndex].name, hideMe) } // hide after confirmation
              close={ hideMe } />
          </Modal> }
        </Layer>

        // this is the toggle for Layer with `id === modalId` can be defined everywhere in the components tree
        <LayerContext id={ modalId }> {({showMe}) => // showMe is alias for `show(modalId)`
          <div style={styles.iconOverlay} onClick={ (e) => showMe(e) }> // additional arguments can be passed (like event)
            <Icon type="trash" />
          </div> }
        </LayerContext>
    </Cell>)
// ...

Best Practice: Initialize JUnit class fields in setUp() or at declaration?

  • The constant values (uses in fixtures or assertions) should be initialized in their declarations and final (as never change)

  • the object under test should be initialized in the setup method because we may set things on. Of course we may not set something now but we could set it later. Instantiating in the init method would ease the changes.

  • dependencies of the object under test if these are mocked, should not even be instantiated by yourself : today the mock frameworks can instantiate it by reflection.

A test without dependency to mock could look like :

public class SomeTest {

    Some some; //instance under test
    static final String GENERIC_ID = "123";
    static final String PREFIX_URL_WS = "http://foo.com/ws";

    @Before
    public void beforeEach() {
       some = new Some(new Foo(), new Bar());
    } 

    @Test
    public void populateList()
         ...
    }
}

A test with dependencies to isolate could look like :

@RunWith(org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SomeTest {

    Some some; //instance under test
    static final String GENERIC_ID = "123";
    static final String PREFIX_URL_WS = "http://foo.com/ws";

    @Mock
    Foo fooMock;

    @Mock
    Bar barMock;

    @Before
    public void beforeEach() {
       some = new Some(fooMock, barMock);
    }

    @Test
    public void populateList()
         ...
    }
}

What are FTL files

Have a look here.

Following files have FTL extension:

  • Family Tree Legends Family File
  • FreeMarker Template
  • Future Tense Texture

CSS Selector "(A or B) and C"?

No. Standard CSS does not provide the kind of thing you're looking for.

However, you might want to look into LESS and SASS.

These are two projects which aim to extend default CSS syntax by introducing additional features, including variables, nested rules, and other enhancements.

They allow you to write much more structured CSS code, and either of them will almost certainly solve your particular use case.

Of course, none of the browsers support their extended syntax (especially since the two projects each have different syntax and features), but what they do is provide a "compiler" which converts your LESS or SASS code into standard CSS, which you can then deploy on your site.

How to search file text for a pattern and replace it with a given value

Another approach is to use inplace editing inside Ruby (not from the command line):

#!/usr/bin/ruby

def inplace_edit(file, bak, &block)
    old_stdout = $stdout
    argf = ARGF.clone

    argf.argv.replace [file]
    argf.inplace_mode = bak
    argf.each_line do |line|
        yield line
    end
    argf.close

    $stdout = old_stdout
end

inplace_edit 'test.txt', '.bak' do |line|
    line = line.gsub(/search1/,"replace1")
    line = line.gsub(/search2/,"replace2")
    print line unless line.match(/something/)
end

If you don't want to create a backup then change '.bak' to ''.

How do I get the path of the assembly the code is in?

It's as simple as this:

var dir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

The result of a query cannot be enumerated more than once

Try replacing this

var query = context.Search(id, searchText);

with

var query = context.Search(id, searchText).tolist();

and everything will work well.

How to store command results in a shell variable?

The syntax to store the command output into a variable is var=$(command).

So you can directly do:

result=$(ls -l | grep -c "rahul.*patle")

And the variable $result will contain the number of matches.

JFrame Maximize window

I ended up using this code:

public void setMaximized(boolean maximized){
    if(maximized){
        DisplayMode mode = this.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice().getDisplayMode();
        Insets insets = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenInsets(this.getGraphicsConfiguration());
        this.setMaximizedBounds(new Rectangle(
                mode.getWidth() - insets.right - insets.left, 
                mode.getHeight() - insets.top - insets.bottom
        ));
        this.setExtendedState(this.getExtendedState() | JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
    }else{
        this.setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
    }
}

This options worked the best of all the options, including multiple monitor support. The only flaw this has is that the taskbar offset is used on all monitors is some configurations.

jquery - Click event not working for dynamically created button

You could also create the input button in this way:

var button = '<input type="button" id="questionButton" value='+variable+'> <br />';


It might be the syntax of the Button creation that is off somehow.

Android Call an method from another class

Add this in MainActivity.

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Heightimage.class);
startActivity(intent);

Angular2 use [(ngModel)] with [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" to link to a reference to model's property

For me the code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<form (submit)="addTodo()">_x000D_
  <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="text">_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

throws error, but I added name attribute to input:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<form (submit)="addTodo()">_x000D_
  <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="text" name="text">_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

and it started to work.

Length of a JavaScript object

I'm not a JavaScript expert, but it looks like you would have to loop through the elements and count them since Object doesn't have a length method:

var element_count = 0;
for (e in myArray) {  if (myArray.hasOwnProperty(e)) element_count++; }

@palmsey: In fairness to the OP, the JavaScript documentation actually explicitly refer to using variables of type Object in this manner as "associative arrays".

How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012?

Yes, it's possible with a bit of tweak. Unfortunately, you still have to have VS 2010 installed.

  1. First, install XNA Game Studio 4.0. The easiest way is to install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 which contains everything required.

  2. Copy the XNA Game Extension from VS 10 to VS 11 by opening a command prompt 'as administrator' and executing the following (may vary if not x64 computer with defaults paths) :

    xcopy /e "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0"

  3. Run notepad as administrator then open extension.vsixmanifest in the destination directory just created.

  4. Upgrade the Supported product version to match the new version (or duplicate the whole VisualStudio element and change the Version attribute, as @brainslugs83 said in comments):

    <SupportedProducts>
      <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
        <Edition>VSTS</Edition>
        <Edition>VSTD</Edition>
        <Edition>Pro</Edition>
        <Edition>VCSExpress</Edition>
        <Edition>VPDExpress</Edition>
      </VisualStudio>
    </SupportedProducts>
    
  5. Don't forget to clear/delete your cache in %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions.

  6. You may have to run the command to tells Visual Studio that new extensions are available. If you see an 'access denied' message, try launching the console as an administrator.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
    

This has been tested for Windows Games, but not WP7 or Xbox games.

[Edit] According Jowsty, this works also for XBox 360 Games.

[Edit for Visual Studio 2013 & Windows 8.1] See here for documentation on installing Windows Phone SDK 7.1 on Windows 8.1. Use VS version number 12.0 in place of 11.0 for all of these steps, and they will still work correctly.

How to pass List from Controller to View in MVC 3

You can use the dynamic object ViewBag to pass data from Controllers to Views.

Add the following to your controller:

ViewBag.MyList = myList;

Then you can acces it from your view:

@ViewBag.MyList

// e.g.
@foreach (var item in ViewBag.MyList) { ... }

How to read XML using XPath in Java

Expanding on the excellent answer by @bluish and @Yishai, here is how you make the NodeLists and node attributes support iterators, i.e. the for(Node n: nodelist) interface.

Use it like:

NodeList nl = ...
for(Node n : XmlUtil.asList(nl))
{...}

and

Node n = ...
for(Node attr : XmlUtil.asList(n.getAttributes())
{...}

The code:

/**
 * Converts NodeList to an iterable construct.
 * From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19591302/779521
 */
public final class XmlUtil {
    private XmlUtil() {}

    public static List<Node> asList(NodeList n) {
        return n.getLength() == 0 ? Collections.<Node>emptyList() : new NodeListWrapper(n);
    }

    static final class NodeListWrapper extends AbstractList<Node> implements RandomAccess {
        private final NodeList list;

        NodeListWrapper(NodeList l) {
            this.list = l;
        }

        public Node get(int index) {
            return this.list.item(index);
        }

        public int size() {
            return this.list.getLength();
        }
    }

    public static List<Node> asList(NamedNodeMap n) {
        return n.getLength() == 0 ? Collections.<Node>emptyList() : new NodeMapWrapper(n);
    }

    static final class NodeMapWrapper extends AbstractList<Node> implements RandomAccess {
        private final NamedNodeMap list;

        NodeMapWrapper(NamedNodeMap l) {
            this.list = l;
        }

        public Node get(int index) {
            return this.list.item(index);
        }

        public int size() {
            return this.list.getLength();
        }
    }
}

Useful example of a shutdown hook in Java?

What does double question mark (??) operator mean in PHP

$x = $y ?? 'dev'

is short hand for x = y if y is set, otherwise x = 'dev'

There is also

$x = $y =="SOMETHING" ? 10 : 20

meaning if y equals 'SOMETHING' then x = 10, otherwise x = 20

adding multiple event listeners to one element

This is my solution in which I deal with multiple events in my workflow.

function addMultipleEvents(eventsArray, targetElem, handler) {_x000D_
        eventsArray.map(function(event) {_x000D_
            targetElem.addEventListener(event, handler, false);_x000D_
        }_x000D_
    );_x000D_
}_x000D_
let counter = 0;_x000D_
function countP() {_x000D_
    counter++;_x000D_

}_x000D_
_x000D_
// magic starts over here..._x000D_
addMultipleEvents(['click', 'mouseleave', 'mouseenter'], h2, countP);
_x000D_

Why this line xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" must be the first in the layout xml file?

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 

xmlns : is xml name space and the URL : "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" is nothing but

XSD which is [XML schema definition] : which is used define rules for XML file .

Example :

<LinearLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<EditText
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
   android:hint="User Name"
  />
</LinearLayout> 

Let me explain What Kind of Rules ? .

  1. In above XML file we already define layout_width for our layout now IF you will define same attribute second time you will get an error .
  2. EditText is there but if you want add another EditText no problem .

Such Kind of Rules are define in XML XSD : "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

little bit late but I hope this helps you .

Length of string in bash

Here is couple of ways to calculate length of variable :

echo ${#VAR}
echo -n $VAR | wc -m
echo -n $VAR | wc -c
printf $VAR | wc -m
expr length $VAR
expr $VAR : '.*'

and to set the result in another variable just assign above command with back quote into another variable as following:

otherVar=`echo -n $VAR | wc -m`   
echo $otherVar

Convert string to nullable type (int, double, etc...)

Let's add one more similar solution to the stack. This one also parses enums, and it looks nice. Very safe.

/// <summary>
    /// <para>More convenient than using T.TryParse(string, out T). 
    /// Works with primitive types, structs, and enums.
    /// Tries to parse the string to an instance of the type specified.
    /// If the input cannot be parsed, null will be returned.
    /// </para>
    /// <para>
    /// If the value of the caller is null, null will be returned.
    /// So if you have "string s = null;" and then you try "s.ToNullable...",
    /// null will be returned. No null exception will be thrown. 
    /// </para>
    /// <author>Contributed by Taylor Love (Pangamma)</author>
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    /// <param name="p_self"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static T? ToNullable<T>(this string p_self) where T : struct
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(p_self))
        {
            var converter = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
            if (converter.IsValid(p_self)) return (T)converter.ConvertFromString(p_self);
            if (typeof(T).IsEnum) { T t; if (Enum.TryParse<T>(p_self, out t)) return t;}
        }

        return null;
    }

Installing PIL with pip

Install

pip install Pillow

Then, Just import in your file like,

from PIL import Image

I am using windows. It is working for me.

NOTE:

Pillow is a functional drop-in replacement for the Python Imaging Library. To run your existing PIL-compatible code with Pillow, it needs to be modified to import the Imaging module from the PIL namespace instead of the global namespace.

i.e. change:

import Image

to:

from PIL import Image

C# - How to get Program Files (x86) on Windows 64 bit

Note, however, that the ProgramFiles(x86) environment variable is only available if your application is running 64-bit.

If your application is running 32-bit, you can just use the ProgramFiles environment variable whose value will actually be "Program Files (x86)".

How to open a new file in vim in a new window

If you don't mind using gVim, you can launch a single instance, so that when a new file is opened with it it's automatically opened in a new tab in the currently running instance.

to do this you can write: gVim --remote-tab-silent file

You could always make an alias to this command so that you don't have to type so many words. For example I use linux and bash and in my ~/.bashrc file I have:

alias g='gvim --remote-tab-silent'

so instead of doing $ mate file I do: $ g file

Plot two histograms on single chart with matplotlib

Here is a simple method to plot two histograms, with their bars side-by-side, on the same plot when the data has different sizes:

def plotHistogram(p, o):
    """
    p and o are iterables with the values you want to 
    plot the histogram of
    """
    plt.hist([p, o], color=['g','r'], alpha=0.8, bins=50)
    plt.show()

How To fix white screen on app Start up?

Below is the link that suggests how to design Splash screen. To avoid white/black background we need to define a theme with splash background and set that theme to splash in manifest file.

https://android.jlelse.eu/right-way-to-create-splash-screen-on-android-e7f1709ba154

splash_background.xml inside res/drawable folder

<?xml version=”1.0" encoding=”utf-8"?>
 <layer-list xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

 <item android:drawable=”@color/colorPrimary” />

 <item>
 <bitmap
 android:gravity=”center”
 android:src=”@mipmap/ic_launcher” />
 </item>

</layer-list>

Add below styles

<!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

    <style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_background</item>
    </style>

In Manifest set theme as shown below

<activity
            android:name=".SplashActivity"
            android:theme="@style/SplashTheme">
            <intent-filter>

Xamarin.Android

Note: The path xml/provider_paths.xml (.axml) couldn't be resolved, even after making the xml folder under Resources (maybe it can be put in an existing location like Values, didn't try), so I resorted to this which works for now. Testing showed that it only needs to be called once per application run (which makes sense being that it changes the operational state of the host VM).

Passing the argument to CMAKE via command prompt

In the CMakeLists.txt file, create a cache variable, as documented here:

SET(FAB "po" CACHE STRING "Some user-specified option")

Source: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#command:set

Then, either use the GUI (ccmake or cmake-gui) to set the cache variable, or specify the value of the variable on the cmake command line:

cmake -DFAB:STRING=po

Source: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#opt:-Dvar:typevalue

Modify your cache variable to a boolean if, in fact, your option is boolean.

IIS7: A process serving application pool 'YYYYY' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service

When I had this problem, I installed 'Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015' from MSDN. I attached my local VS to the server to debug.

I appreciate that some folks may not have the ability to either install on or access other servers, but I thought I'd throw it out there as an option.

Difference between angle bracket < > and double quotes " " while including header files in C++?

When you use angle brackets, the compiler searches for the file in the include path list. When you use double quotes, it first searches the current directory (i.e. the directory where the module being compiled is) and only then it'll search the include path list.

So, by convention, you use the angle brackets for standard includes and the double quotes for everything else. This ensures that in the (not recommended) case in which you have a local header with the same name as a standard header, the right one will be chosen in each case.

How can I pass a member function where a free function is expected?

There isn't anything wrong with using function pointers. However, pointers to non-static member functions are not like normal function pointers: member functions need to be called on an object which is passed as an implicit argument to the function. The signature of your member function above is, thus

void (aClass::*)(int, int)

rather than the type you try to use

void (*)(int, int)

One approach could consist in making the member function static in which case it doesn't require any object to be called on and you can use it with the type void (*)(int, int).

If you need to access any non-static member of your class and you need to stick with function pointers, e.g., because the function is part of a C interface, your best option is to always pass a void* to your function taking function pointers and call your member through a forwarding function which obtains an object from the void* and then calls the member function.

In a proper C++ interface you might want to have a look at having your function take templated argument for function objects to use arbitrary class types. If using a templated interface is undesirable you should use something like std::function<void(int, int)>: you can create a suitably callable function object for these, e.g., using std::bind().

The type-safe approaches using a template argument for the class type or a suitable std::function<...> are preferable than using a void* interface as they remove the potential for errors due to a cast to the wrong type.

To clarify how to use a function pointer to call a member function, here is an example:

// the function using the function pointers:
void somefunction(void (*fptr)(void*, int, int), void* context) {
    fptr(context, 17, 42);
}

void non_member(void*, int i0, int i1) {
    std::cout << "I don't need any context! i0=" << i0 << " i1=" << i1 << "\n";
}

struct foo {
    void member(int i0, int i1) {
        std::cout << "member function: this=" << this << " i0=" << i0 << " i1=" << i1 << "\n";
    }
};

void forwarder(void* context, int i0, int i1) {
    static_cast<foo*>(context)->member(i0, i1);
}

int main() {
    somefunction(&non_member, nullptr);
    foo object;
    somefunction(&forwarder, &object);
}

How to change the default GCC compiler in Ubuntu?

Now, there is gcc-4.9 available for Ubuntu/precise.

Create a group of compiler alternatives where the distro compiler has a higher priority:

root$ VER=4.6 ; PRIO=60
root$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-$VER $PRIO --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-$VER
root$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-$VER $PRIO

root$ VER=4.9 ; PRIO=40
root$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-$VER $PRIO --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-$VER
root$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-$VER $PRIO

NOTE: g++ version is changed automatically with a gcc version switch. cpp-bin has to be done separately as there exists a "cpp" master alternative.

List available compiler alternatives:

root$ update-alternatives --list gcc
root$ update-alternatives --list cpp-bin

To select manually version 4.9 of gcc, g++ and cpp, do:

root$ update-alternatives --config gcc
root$ update-alternatives --config cpp-bin

Check compiler versions:

root$ for i in gcc g++ cpp ; do $i --version ; done

Restore distro compiler settings (here: back to v4.6):

root$ update-alternatives --auto gcc
root$ update-alternatives --auto cpp-bin

Adding and using header (HTTP) in nginx

To add a header just add the following code to the location block where you want to add the header:

location some-location {
  add_header X-my-header my-header-content;      
}

Obviously, replace the x-my-header and my-header-content with what you want to add. And that's all there is to it.

How to extract Month from date in R

Her is another R base approach:

From your example: Some date:

Some_date<-"01/01/1979"

We tell R, "That is a Date"

Some_date<-as.Date(Some_date)

We extract the month:

months(Some_date)

output: [1] "January"

Finally, we can convert it to a numerical variable:

as.numeric(as.factor(months(Some_date)))

outpt: [1] 1

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC

The public keyword is used only when declaring a class method.

Since you're declaring a simple function and not a class you need to remove public from your code.

Python read in string from file and split it into values

Use open(file, mode) for files. The mode is a variant of 'r' for read, 'w' for write, and possibly 'b' appended (e.g., 'rb') to open binary files. See the link below.

Use open with readline() or readlines(). The former will return a line at a time, while the latter returns a list of the lines.

Use split(delimiter) to split on the comma.

Lastly, you need to cast each item to an integer: int(foo). You'll probably want to surround your cast with a try block followed by except ValueError as in the link below.

You can also use 'multiple assignment' to assign a and b at once:

>>>a, b = map(int, "2342342,2234234".split(","))  
>>>print a  
2342342
>>>type(a)  
<type 'int'>

Compare string with all values in list

If you only want to know if any item of d is contained in paid[j], as you literally say:

if any(x in paid[j] for x in d): ...

If you also want to know which items of d are contained in paid[j]:

contained = [x for x in d if x in paid[j]]

contained will be an empty list if no items of d are contained in paid[j].

There are other solutions yet if what you want is yet another alternative, e.g., get the first item of d contained in paid[j] (and None if no item is so contained):

firstone = next((x for x in d if x in paid[j]), None)

BTW, since in a comment you mention sentences and words, maybe you don't necessarily want a string check (which is what all of my examples are doing), because they can't consider word boundaries -- e.g., each example will say that 'cat' is in 'obfuscate' (because, 'obfuscate' contains 'cat' as a substring). To allow checks on word boundaries, rather than simple substring checks, you might productively use regular expressions... but I suggest you open a separate question on that, if that's what you require -- all of the code snippets in this answer, depending on your exact requirements, will work equally well if you change the predicate x in paid[j] into some more sophisticated predicate such as somere.search(paid[j]) for an appropriate RE object somere. (Python 2.6 or better -- slight differences in 2.5 and earlier).

If your intention is something else again, such as getting one or all of the indices in d of the items satisfying your constrain, there are easy solutions for those different problems, too... but, if what you actually require is so far away from what you said, I'd better stop guessing and hope you clarify;-).

How to install Ruby 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 14.04

First of all, install the prerequisite libraries:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties libffi-dev

Then install rbenv, which is used to install Ruby:

cd
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

rbenv install 2.3.1
rbenv global 2.3.1
ruby -v

Then (optional) tell Rubygems to not install local documentation:

echo "gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc" > ~/.gemrc

You put your template in the wrong place. From the Flask docs:

Flask will look for templates in the templates folder. So if your application is a module, this folder is next to that module, if it’s a package it’s actually inside your package: See the docs for more information: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#rendering-templates

How to close an iframe within iframe itself

its kind of hacky but it works well-ish

 function close_frame(){
    if(!window.should_close){
        window.should_close=1;
    }else if(window.should_close==1){
        location.reload();
        //or iframe hide or whatever
    }
 }

 <iframe src="iframe_index.php" onload="close_frame()"></iframe>

then inside the frame

$('#close_modal_main').click(function(){
        window.location = 'iframe_index.php?close=1';
});

and if you want to get fancy through a

if(isset($_GET['close'])){
  die;
}

at the top of your frame page to make that reload unnoticeable

so basically the first time the frame loads it doesnt hide itself but the next time it loads itll call the onload function and the parent will have a the window var causing the frame to close

How can I pause setInterval() functions?

While @Jonas Giuro is right when saying that:

You cannot PAUSE the setInterval function, you can either STOP it (clearInterval), or let it run

On the other hand this behavior can be simulated with approach @VitaliyG suggested:

You shouldn't measure time in interval function. Instead just save time when timer was started and measure difference when timer was stopped/paused. Use setInterval only to update displayed value.

How can I generate an apk that can run without server with react-native?

I have another solution:- Generating a signing key You can generate a private signing key using keytool. On Windows keytool must be run from C:\Program Files\Java\jdkx.x.x_x\bin.

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias my-key-alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Place the my-release-key.keystore file under the android/app directory in your project folder.

Edit the file android/app/build.gradle in your project folder and add the signing config,

android {
....
signingConfigs { 
  release { 

      storeFile file('my-release-key.keystore') 
      storePassword 'yourpassword' 
      keyAlias 'my-key-alias' 
      keyPassword 'yourpassword' 

  } 
}}}


buildTypes {release {signingConfig signingConfigs.release}}

and run

gradlew assembleRelease

This will give you two files at android\app\build\outputs\apk app-release.apk and app-release-unsigned.apk now install the app-release.apk in your android device.

Java/Groovy - simple date reformatting

oldDate is not in the format of the SimpleDateFormat you are using to parse it.

Try this format: dd-MMM-yyyy - It matches what you're trying to parse.

Using Server.MapPath() inside a static field in ASP.NET MVC

I think you can try this for calling in from a class

 System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/SignatureImages/");

*----------------Sorry I oversight, for static function already answered the question by adrift*

System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/SignatureImages/");

Update

I got exception while using System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/SignatureImages/");

Ex details : System.ArgumentException: The relative virtual path 'SignatureImages' is not allowed here. at System.Web.VirtualPath.FailIfRelativePath()

Solution (tested in static webmethod)

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/SignatureImages/"); Worked

Git: Permission denied (publickey) fatal - Could not read from remote repository. while cloning Git repository

If there is still issue around access after creating SSH and adding it in your Bitbucket account or wherever, you need to do the following in terminal on GitBash, OSX or Linux:

# Lists already added identities (‘ssh keys’)
ssh-add -l

Then, if you don't see your key listed, add it with the following (replace identity with its real name):

# Add a new identity
ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity

This worked for me.

How do I delete an item or object from an array using ng-click?

This is a correct answer:

<a class="btn" ng-click="remove($index)">Delete</a>
$scope.remove=function($index){ 
  $scope.bdays.splice($index,1);     
}

In @charlietfl's answer. I think it's wrong since you pass $index as paramter but you use the wish instead in controller. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Throw away local commits in Git

If you get your local repo into a complete mess, then a reliable way to throw away local commits in Git is to...

  1. Use "git config --get remote.origin.url" to get URL of remote origin
  2. Rename local git folder to "my_broken_local_repo"
  3. Use "git clone <url_from_1>" to get fresh local copy of remote git repository

In my experience Eclipse handles the world changing around it quite well. However, you may need to select affected projects in Eclipse and clean them to force Eclipse to rebuild them. I guess other IDEs may need a forced rebuild too.

A side benefit of the above procedure is that you will find out if your project relies on local files that were not put into git. If you find you are missing files then you can copy them in from "my_broken_local_repo" and add them to git. Once you have confidence that your new local repo has everything you need then you can delete "my_broken_local_repo".

Proxy setting for R

I had the same problem at my office and I solved it adding the proxy in the destination of the R shortcut; clik on right button of the R icon, preferences, and in the destination field add

"C:\Program Files\R\your_R_version\bin\Rgui.exe" http_proxy=http://user_id:passwod@your_proxy:your_port/

Be sure to put the directory where you have the R program installed. That works for me. Hope this help.

Azure SQL Database "DTU percentage" metric

Still not cool enough to comment, but regarding @vladislav's comment the original article was fairly old. Here is an update document regarding DTU's, which would help answer the OP's question.

Difference between "module.exports" and "exports" in the CommonJs Module System

Rene's answer about the relationship between exports and module.exports is quite clear, it's all about javascript references. Just want to add that:

We see this in many node modules:

var app = exports = module.exports = {};

This will make sure that even if we changed module.exports, we can still use exports by making those two variables point to the same object.

Can someone explain how to append an element to an array in C programming?

int arr[10] = {0, 5, 3, 64};
arr[4] = 5;

EDIT: So I was asked to explain what's happening when you do:

int arr[10] = {0, 5, 3, 64};

you create an array with 10 elements and you allocate values for the first 4 elements of the array.

Also keep in mind that arr starts at index arr[0] and ends at index arr[9] - 10 elements

arr[0] has value 0;
arr[1] has value 5;
arr[2] has value 3;
arr[3] has value 64;

after that the array contains garbage values / zeroes because you didn't allocated any other values

But you could still allocate 6 more values so when you do

arr[4] = 5;

you allocate the value 5 to the fifth element of the array.

You could do this until you allocate values for the last index of the arr that is arr[9];

Sorry if my explanation is choppy, but I have never been good at explaining things.

Spark SQL: apply aggregate functions to a list of columns

There are multiple ways of applying aggregate functions to multiple columns.

GroupedData class provides a number of methods for the most common functions, including count, max, min, mean and sum, which can be used directly as follows:

  • Python:

    df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(
        [(1.0, 0.3, 1.0), (1.0, 0.5, 0.0), (-1.0, 0.6, 0.5), (-1.0, 5.6, 0.2)],
        ("col1", "col2", "col3"))
    
    df.groupBy("col1").sum()
    
    ## +----+---------+-----------------+---------+
    ## |col1|sum(col1)|        sum(col2)|sum(col3)|
    ## +----+---------+-----------------+---------+
    ## | 1.0|      2.0|              0.8|      1.0|
    ## |-1.0|     -2.0|6.199999999999999|      0.7|
    ## +----+---------+-----------------+---------+
    
  • Scala

    val df = sc.parallelize(Seq(
      (1.0, 0.3, 1.0), (1.0, 0.5, 0.0),
      (-1.0, 0.6, 0.5), (-1.0, 5.6, 0.2))
    ).toDF("col1", "col2", "col3")
    
    df.groupBy($"col1").min().show
    
    // +----+---------+---------+---------+
    // |col1|min(col1)|min(col2)|min(col3)|
    // +----+---------+---------+---------+
    // | 1.0|      1.0|      0.3|      0.0|
    // |-1.0|     -1.0|      0.6|      0.2|
    // +----+---------+---------+---------+
    

Optionally you can pass a list of columns which should be aggregated

df.groupBy("col1").sum("col2", "col3")

You can also pass dictionary / map with columns a the keys and functions as the values:

  • Python

    exprs = {x: "sum" for x in df.columns}
    df.groupBy("col1").agg(exprs).show()
    
    ## +----+---------+
    ## |col1|avg(col3)|
    ## +----+---------+
    ## | 1.0|      0.5|
    ## |-1.0|     0.35|
    ## +----+---------+
    
  • Scala

    val exprs = df.columns.map((_ -> "mean")).toMap
    df.groupBy($"col1").agg(exprs).show()
    
    // +----+---------+------------------+---------+
    // |col1|avg(col1)|         avg(col2)|avg(col3)|
    // +----+---------+------------------+---------+
    // | 1.0|      1.0|               0.4|      0.5|
    // |-1.0|     -1.0|3.0999999999999996|     0.35|
    // +----+---------+------------------+---------+
    

Finally you can use varargs:

  • Python

    from pyspark.sql.functions import min
    
    exprs = [min(x) for x in df.columns]
    df.groupBy("col1").agg(*exprs).show()
    
  • Scala

    import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.sum
    
    val exprs = df.columns.map(sum(_))
    df.groupBy($"col1").agg(exprs.head, exprs.tail: _*)
    

There are some other way to achieve a similar effect but these should more than enough most of the time.

How to return a file (FileContentResult) in ASP.NET WebAPI

            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(filePath));

        FilePath = filePath;
    }

    public string FilePath { get; }

    public Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        response.Content = new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(FilePath));
        var contentType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(Path.GetExtension(FilePath));
        response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue(contentType);
        return Task.FromResult(response);
    }
}

It can be simply used like this:

public class MyController : ApiController
{
    public IHttpActionResult Get()
    {
        string filePath = GetSomeValidFilePath();
        return new FileResult(filePath);
    }
}

How to set up googleTest as a shared library on Linux

Update for Debian/Ubuntu

Google Mock (package: google-mock) and Google Test (package: libgtest-dev) have been merged. The new package is called googletest. Both old names are still available for backwards compatibility and now depend on the new package googletest.

So, to get your libraries from the package repository, you can do the following:

sudo apt-get install googletest -y
cd /usr/src/googletest
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo make
sudo cp googlemock/*.a googlemock/gtest/*.a /usr/lib

After that, you can link against -lgmock (or against -lgmock_main if you do not use a custom main method) and -lpthread. This was sufficient for using Google Test in my cases at least.

If you want the most current version of Google Test, download it from github. After that, the steps are similar:

git clone https://github.com/google/googletest
cd googletest
sudo mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo make
sudo cp lib/*.a /usr/lib

As you can see, the path where the libraries are created has changed. Keep in mind that the new path might be valid for the package repositories soon, too.

Instead of copying the libraries manually, you could use sudo make install. It "currently" works, but be aware that it did not always work in the past. Also, you don't have control over the target location when using this command and you might not want to pollute /usr/lib.

JCheckbox - ActionListener and ItemListener?

The difference is that ActionEvent is fired when the action is performed on the JCheckBox that is its state is changed either by clicking on it with the mouse or with a space bar or a mnemonic. It does not really listen to change events whether the JCheckBox is selected or deselected.

For instance, if JCheckBox c1 (say) is added to a ButtonGroup. Changing the state of other JCheckBoxes in the ButtonGroup will not fire an ActionEvent on other JCheckBox, instead an ItemEvent is fired.

Final words: An ItemEvent is fired even when the user deselects a check box by selecting another JCheckBox (when in a ButtonGroup), however ActionEvent is not generated like that instead ActionEvent only listens whether an action is performed on the JCheckBox (to which the ActionListener is registered only) or not. It does not know about ButtonGroup and all other selection/deselection stuff.

In excel how do I reference the current row but a specific column?

If you dont want to hard-code the cell addresses you can use the ROW() function.

eg: =AVERAGE(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), INDIRECT("C" & ROW()))

Its probably not the best way to do it though! Using Auto-Fill and static columns like @JaiGovindani suggests would be much better.

Using PowerShell to write a file in UTF-8 without the BOM

Using .NET's UTF8Encoding class and passing $False to the constructor seems to work:

$MyRawString = Get-Content -Raw $MyPath
$Utf8NoBomEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding $False
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines($MyPath, $MyRawString, $Utf8NoBomEncoding)

The required anti-forgery form field "__RequestVerificationToken" is not present Error in user Registration

Another possibility for those of us uploading files as part of the request. If the content length exceeds <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="size in kilo bytes" /> and you're using request verification tokens, the browser displays the 'The required anti-forgery form field "__RequestVerificationToken" is not present' message instead of the request length exceeded message.

Setting maxRequestLength to a value large enough to cater for the request cures the immediate issue - though I'll admit it's not a proper solution (we want the user to know the true problem of file size, not that of request verification tokens missing).

Check orientation on Android phone

I think this solution easy one

if (context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
  user_todat_latout = true;
} else {

}

How to Use Content-disposition for force a file to download to the hard drive?

With recent browsers you can use the HTML5 download attribute as well:

<a download="quot.pdf" href="../doc/quot.pdf">Click here to Download quotation</a>

It is supported by most of the recent browsers except MSIE11. You can use a polyfill, something like this (note that this is for data uri only, but it is a good start):

(function (){

    addEvent(window, "load", function (){
        if (isInternetExplorer())
            polyfillDataUriDownload();
    });

    function polyfillDataUriDownload(){
        var links = document.querySelectorAll('a[download], area[download]');
        for (var index = 0, length = links.length; index<length; ++index) {
            (function (link){
                var dataUri = link.getAttribute("href");
                var fileName = link.getAttribute("download");
                if (dataUri.slice(0,5) != "data:")
                    throw new Error("The XHR part is not implemented here.");
                addEvent(link, "click", function (event){
                    cancelEvent(event);
                    try {
                        var dataBlob = dataUriToBlob(dataUri);
                        forceBlobDownload(dataBlob, fileName);
                    } catch (e) {
                        alert(e)
                    }
                });
            })(links[index]);
        }
    }

    function forceBlobDownload(dataBlob, fileName){
        window.navigator.msSaveBlob(dataBlob, fileName);
    }

    function dataUriToBlob(dataUri) {
        if  (!(/base64/).test(dataUri))
            throw new Error("Supports only base64 encoding.");
        var parts = dataUri.split(/[:;,]/),
            type = parts[1],
            binData = atob(parts.pop()),
            mx = binData.length,
            uiArr = new Uint8Array(mx);
        for(var i = 0; i<mx; ++i)
            uiArr[i] = binData.charCodeAt(i);
        return new Blob([uiArr], {type: type});
    }

    function addEvent(subject, type, listener){
        if (window.addEventListener)
            subject.addEventListener(type, listener, false);
        else if (window.attachEvent)
            subject.attachEvent("on" + type, listener);
    }

    function cancelEvent(event){
        if (event.preventDefault)
            event.preventDefault();
        else
            event.returnValue = false;
    }

    function isInternetExplorer(){
        return /*@cc_on!@*/false || !!document.documentMode;
    }
    
})();

Is ASCII code 7-bit or 8-bit?

when we call ASCII as 7 bit code, the left most bit is used as sign bit so with 7 bits we can write up to 127. that means from -126 to 127 because Max imam value of ASCII is 0 to 255. this can be only satisfied with the argument of 7 bit if last bit is considered as sign bit

Firefox and SSL: sec_error_unknown_issuer

June 2014:

This is the configuration I used and it working fine after banging my head on the wall for some days. I use Express 3.4 (I think is the same for Express 4.0)

var privateKey  = fs.readFileSync('helpers/sslcert/key.pem', 'utf8');
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('helpers/sslcert/csr.pem', 'utf8');

files = ["COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt",
         "COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt",
         "AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt"
        ];

ca = (function() {
  var _i, _len, _results;

  _results = [];
  for (_i = 0, _len = files.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
    file = files[_i];
    _results.push(fs.readFileSync("helpers/sslcert/" + file));
  }
  return _results;
})();

var credentials = {ca:ca, key: privateKey, cert: certificate};

// process.env.PORT : Heroku Config environment
var port = process.env.PORT || 4000;

var app = express();
var server = http.createServer(app).listen(port, function() {
        console.log('Express HTTP server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
});
https.createServer(credentials, app).listen(3000, function() {
        console.log('Express HTTPS server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
});

// redirect all http requests to https
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  if(!req.secure) {
    return res.redirect(['https://mydomain.com', req.url].join(''));
  }
  next();
});

Then I redirected the 80 and 443 ports:

sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 4000
sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3000

How to convert a string to utf-8 in Python

  • First, str in Python is represented in Unicode.
  • Second, UTF-8 is an encoding standard to encode Unicode string to bytes. There are many encoding standards out there (e.g. UTF-16, ASCII, SHIFT-JIS, etc.).

When the client sends data to your server and they are using UTF-8, they are sending a bunch of bytes not str.

You received a str because the "library" or "framework" that you are using, has implicitly converted some random bytes to str.

Under the hood, there is just a bunch of bytes. You just need ask the "library" to give you the request content in bytes and you will handle the decoding yourself (if library can't give you then it is trying to do black magic then you shouldn't use it).

  • Decode UTF-8 encoded bytes to str: bs.decode('utf-8')
  • Encode str to UTF-8 bytes: s.encode('utf-8')

How to initialize java.util.date to empty

IMO, you cannot create an empty Date(java.util). You can create a Date object with null value and can put a null check.

 Date date = new Date(); // Today's date and current time
 Date date2 = new Date(0); // Default date and time
 Date date3 = null; //Date object with null as value.
 if(null != date3) {
    // do your work.
 }

Get specific ArrayList item

We print the value using mainList.get(index) where index starts with '0'. For Example: mainList.get(2) prints the 3rd element in the list.

How can I remove a commit on GitHub?

It is not very good to re-write the history. If we use git revert <commit_id>, it creates a clean reverse-commit of the said commit id.

This way, the history is not re-written, instead, everyone knows that there has been a revert.

Can you hide the controls of a YouTube embed without enabling autoplay?

use autoplay=0

autoplay takes 2 values.

Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Sets whether or not the initial video will autoplay when the player loads.

the important part

autoplay=0&showinfo=0&controls=0

"Uncaught TypeError: a.indexOf is not a function" error when opening new foundation project

One of the possible reasons is when you load jQuery TWICE ,like:

<script src='..../jquery.js'></script>
....
....
....
....
....
<script src='......./jquery.js'></script>

So, check your source code and remove duplicate jQuery load.

Use NSInteger as array index

According to the error message, you declared myLoc as a pointer to an NSInteger (NSInteger *myLoc) rather than an actual NSInteger (NSInteger myLoc). It needs to be the latter.

Getting all names in an enum as a String[]

How can javascript upload a blob?

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

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

How to create a generic array in Java?

Generic array creation is disallowed in java but you can do it like

    array = (T[]) new Object[capacity];
 }
}

Is it worth using Python's re.compile?

For me, the biggest benefit to re.compile is being able to separate definition of the regex from its use.

Even a simple expression such as 0|[1-9][0-9]* (integer in base 10 without leading zeros) can be complex enough that you'd rather not have to retype it, check if you made any typos, and later have to recheck if there are typos when you start debugging. Plus, it's nicer to use a variable name such as num or num_b10 than 0|[1-9][0-9]*.

It's certainly possible to store strings and pass them to re.match; however, that's less readable:

num = "..."
# then, much later:
m = re.match(num, input)

Versus compiling:

num = re.compile("...")
# then, much later:
m = num.match(input)

Though it is fairly close, the last line of the second feels more natural and simpler when used repeatedly.

How can I join on a stored procedure?

I hope your stored procedure is not doing a cursor loop!

If not, take the query from your stored procedure and integrate that query within the query you are posting here:

SELECT t.TenantName, t.CarPlateNumber, t.CarColor, t.Sex, t.SSNO, t.Phone, t.Memo,
        u.UnitNumber,
        p.PropertyName
        ,dt.TenantBalance
FROM tblTenant t
    LEFT JOIN tblRentalUnit u ON t.UnitID = u.ID
    LEFT JOIN tblProperty   p ON u.PropertyID = p.ID
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT ID, SUM(ISNULL(trans.Amount,0)) AS TenantBalance
                   FROM tblTransaction
                   GROUP BY tenant.ID
              ) dt ON t.ID=dt.ID
ORDER BY p.PropertyName, t.CarPlateNumber

If you are doing something more than a query in your stored procedure, create a temp table and execute the stored procedure into this temp table and then join to that in your query.

create procedure test_proc
as
  select 1 as x, 2 as y
  union select 3,4 
  union select 5,6 
  union select 7,8 
  union select 9,10
  return 0
go 

create table #testing
(
  value1   int
  ,value2  int
)

INSERT INTO #testing
exec test_proc


select
  *
  FROM #testing

Having both a Created and Last Updated timestamp columns in MySQL 4.0

If you do decide to have MySQL handle the update of timestamps, you can set up a trigger to update the field on insert.

CREATE TRIGGER <trigger_name> BEFORE INSERT ON <table_name> FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.<timestamp_field> = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

MySQL Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/triggers.html

Storing Images in DB - Yea or Nay?

For a large number of small images, the database might be better.

I had an application with many small thumbnails (2Kb each). When I put them on the filesystem, they each consumed 8kb, due to the filesystem's blocksize. A 400% increase in space!

See this post for more information on block size: What is the block size of the iphone filesystem?

It works right in selects, deletes, updates regardless whether your values parameters are null or not. Make a matter of principle - Don't concatenate SQL and you are always safe and your queries read much better.

Make EditText ReadOnly

android:editable="false" has been deprecated. Therefore you cant use it to make the edit text readonly.

I have done this using the bellow solution. Here I have used

android:inputType="none"

android:textIsSelectable="true"

android:focusable="false"

Give it try :)

<EditText
         android:id="@+id/et_newsgpa_university"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:hint="@string/hint_educational_institute"
         android:textSize="@dimen/regular_text"
         android:inputType="none"
         android:textIsSelectable="true"
         android:focusable="false"
         android:maxLines="1"
         android:imeOptions="actionNext"/>
