Calculate compass bearing / heading to location in Android

I'm no expert in map-reading / navigation and so on but surely 'directions' are absolute and not relative or in reality, they are relative to N or S which themselves are fixed/absolute.

Example: Suppose an imaginary line drawn between you and your destination corresponds with 'absolute' SE (a bearing of 135 degrees relative to magnetic N). Now suppose your phone is pointing NW - if you draw an imaginary line from an imaginary object on the horizon to your destination, it will pass through your location and have an angle of 180 degrees. Now 180 degrees in the sense of a compass actually refers to S but the destination is not 'due S' of the imaginary object your phone is pointing at and, moreover, if you travelled to that imaginary point, your destination would still be SE of where you moved to.

In reality, the 180 degree line actually tells you the destination is 'behind you' relative to the way the phone (and presumably you) are pointing.

Having said that, however, if calculating the angle of a line from the imaginary point to your destination (passing through your location) in order to draw a pointer towards your destination is what you want...simply subtract the (absolute) bearing of the destination from the absolute bearing of the imaginary object and ignore a negation (if present). e.g., NW - SE is 315 - 135 = 180 so draw the pointer to point at the bottom of the screen indicating 'behind you'.

EDIT: I got the Maths slightly wrong...subtract the smaller of the bearings from the larger then subtract the result from 360 to get the angle in which to draw the pointer on the screen.

Haversine Formula in Python (Bearing and Distance between two GPS points)

You can try the following:

from haversine import haversine
haversine((45.7597, 4.8422),(48.8567, 2.3508), unit='mi')
243.71209416020253

Remove last item from array

var arr = [1,0,2];
arr.length--; 

// removes the last element // need to check if arr.length > 0

Creating and returning Observable from Angular 2 Service

This is an example from Angular2 docs of how you can create and use your own Observables :

The Service

import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core'
import {Subject}    from 'rxjs/Subject';
@Injectable()
export class MissionService {
  private _missionAnnouncedSource = new Subject<string>();
  missionAnnounced$ = this._missionAnnouncedSource.asObservable();

  announceMission(mission: string) {
    this._missionAnnouncedSource.next(mission)
  }
}

The Component

    import {Component}          from 'angular2/core';
    import {MissionService}     from './mission.service';

    export class MissionControlComponent {
      mission: string;

      constructor(private missionService: MissionService) {

        missionService.missionAnnounced$.subscribe(
          mission => {
            this.mission = mission;
          })
      }

      announce() {
        this.missionService.announceMission('some mission name');
      }
    }

Render partial from different folder (not shared)

For readers using ASP.NET Core 2.1 or later and wanting to use Partial Tag Helper syntax, try this:

<partial name="~/Views/Folder/_PartialName.cshtml" />

The tilde (~) is optional.

The information at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/views/partial?view=aspnetcore-3.1#partial-tag-helper is helpful too.

MVC Razor @foreach

The answer will not work when using the overload to indicate the template @Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Foos, "YourTemplateName) .

Seems to be designed that way, see this case. Also the exception the framework gives (about the type not been as expected) is quite misleading and fooled me on the first try (thanks @CodeCaster)

In this case you have to use @foreach

@foreach (var item in Model.Foos)
{
    @Html.DisplayFor(x => item, "FooTemplate")
}

Closing Excel Application Process in C# after Data Access

I met the same problems and tried many methods to solve it but doesn't work. Finally , I found the by my way. Some reference enter link description here

Hope my code can help someone future. I have been spent more than two days to solve it. Below is my Code:

//get current in useing excel
            Process[] excelProcsOld = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL");
            Excel.Application myExcelApp = null;
            Excel.Workbooks excelWorkbookTemplate = null;
            Excel.Workbook excelWorkbook = null;
try{
    //DO sth using myExcelApp , excelWorkbookTemplate, excelWorkbook
}
catch (Exception ex ){
}
finally
            {
                //Compare the EXCEL ID and Kill it 
                Process[] excelProcsNew = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL");
                foreach (Process procNew in excelProcsNew)
                {
                    int exist = 0;
                    foreach (Process procOld in excelProcsOld)
                    {
                        if (procNew.Id == procOld.Id)
                        {
                            exist++;
                        }
                    }
                    if (exist == 0)
                    {
                        procNew.Kill();
                    }        
                }
            }

Hex-encoded String to Byte Array

I assume what you need is to convert a hex string into a byte array that equals that means the same thing as that hex string? Adding this method should do it for you, without any extra library importing:

public static byte[] hexToByteArray(String s) {
     String[] strBytes = s.split("(?<=\\G.{2})");
     byte[] bytes = new byte[strBytes.length];
     for(int i = 0; i < strBytes.length; i++)
         bytes[i] = (byte)Integer.parseInt(strBytes[i], 16);
     return bytes;
}

How to loop through a JSON object with typescript (Angular2)

ECMAScript 6 introduced the let statement. You can use it in a for statement.

var ids:string = [];

for(let result of this.results){
   ids.push(result.Id);
}

How to stop the task scheduled in java.util.Timer class

timer.cancel();  //Terminates this timer,discarding any currently scheduled tasks.

timer.purge();   // Removes all cancelled tasks from this timer's task queue.

Waiting till the async task finish its work

I think the easiest way is to create an interface to get the data from onpostexecute and run the Ui from interface :

Create an Interface :

public interface AsyncResponse {
    void processFinish(String output);
}

Then in asynctask

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
    delegate.processFinish(data);
}

Then in yout main activity

@Override
public void processFinish(String data) {
     // do things

}

Merge r brings error "'by' must specify uniquely valid columns"

Rather give names of the column on which you want to merge:

exporttab <- merge(x=dwd_nogap, y=dwd_gap, by.x='x1', by.y='x2', fill=-9999)

Jquery UI Datepicker not displaying

Seems to happen with some themes (cupertino/theme.css) in my case.

And the problem is the .ui-helper-hidden-accessible class which have clip property, like previous users said.

Just Overwrite it and it will be fine

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#datePicker").datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-m-d" });
    $('#ui-datepicker-div').css('clip', 'auto');
});

jQuery .css("margin-top", value) not updating in IE 8 (Standards mode)

try this method

$("your id or class name").css({ 'margin-top': '18px' });  

Stateless vs Stateful

Just to add on others' contributions....Another way is look at it from a web server and concurrency's point of view...

HTTP is stateless in nature for a reason...In the case of a web server, being stateful means that it would have to remember a user's 'state' for their last connection, and /or keep an open connection to a requester. That would be very expensive and 'stressful' in an application with thousands of concurrent connections...

Being stateless in this case has obvious efficient usage of resources...i.e support a connection in in a single instance of request and response...No overhead of keeping connections open and/or remember anything from the last request...

Telling Python to save a .txt file to a certain directory on Windows and Mac

Using an absolute or relative string as the filename.

name_of_file = input("What is the name of the file: ")
completeName = '/home/user/Documents'+ name_of_file + ".txt"
file1 = open(completeName , "w")
toFile = input("Write what you want into the field")
file1.write(toFile)
file1.close()

mysqli_fetch_array while loop columns

Both will works perfectly in mysqli_fetch_array in while loops

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
    $posts[] = $row['post_id'].$row['post_title'].$row['content'];
}

(OR)

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
    $posts[] = $row['post_id'].$row['post_title'].$row['content'];
}

mysqli_fetch_array() - has second argument $resulttype.

MYSQLI_ASSOC: Fetch associative array

MYSQLI_NUM: Fetch numeric array

MYSQLI_BOTH: Fetch both associative and numeric array.

Free FTP Library

I like Alex FTPS Client which is written by a Microsoft MVP name Alex Pilotti. It's a C# library you can use in Console apps, Windows Forms, PowerShell, ASP.NET (in any .NET language). If you have a multithreaded app you will have to configure the library to run syncronously, but overall a good client that will most likely get you what you need.

How can I inject a property value into a Spring Bean which was configured using annotations?

A possible solutions is to declare a second bean which reads from the same properties file:

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/app.properties" />
</bean> 

<util:properties id="appProperties" location="classpath:/WEB-INF/app.properties"/>

The bean named 'appProperties' is of type java.util.Properties and can be dependency injected using the @Resource attruibute shown above.

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master' (EF code-first)

Save matplotlib file to a directory

If the directory you wish to save to is a sub-directory of your working directory, simply specify the relative path before your file name:

    fig.savefig('Sub Directory/graph.png')

If you wish to use an absolute path, import the os module:

    import os
    my_path = os.path.abspath(__file__) # Figures out the absolute path for you in case your working directory moves around.
    ...
    fig.savefig(my_path + '/Sub Directory/graph.png')

If you don't want to worry about the leading slash in front of the sub-directory name, you can join paths intelligently as follows:

    import os
    my_path = os.path.abspath(__file__) # Figures out the absolute path for you in case your working directory moves around.
    my_file = 'graph.png'
    ...
    fig.savefig(os.path.join(my_path, my_file))        

The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure

Try put this before send e-mail

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = 
        delegate(object s, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain,
        SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) { return true; };

Remenber to add the using libs!

using "if" and "else" Stored Procedures MySQL

I think that this construct: if exists (select... is specific for MS SQL. In MySQL EXISTS predicate tells you whether the subquery finds any rows and it's used like this: SELECT column1 FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2);

You can rewrite the above lines of code like this:

DELIMITER $$

CREATE PROCEDURE `checando`(in nombrecillo varchar(30), in contrilla varchar(30), out resultado int)

BEGIN
    DECLARE count_prim INT;
    DECLARE count_sec INT;

    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_prim FROM compas WHERE nombre = nombrecillo AND contrasenia = contrilla;
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO count_sec FROM FROM compas WHERE nombre = nombrecillo;

    if (count_prim > 0) then
        set resultado = 0;
    elseif (count_sec > 0) then
        set resultado = -1;
    else 
        set resultado = -2;
    end if;
    SELECT resultado;
END

How to find patterns across multiple lines using grep?

Why not something simple like:

egrep -o 'abc|efg' $file | grep -A1 abc | grep efg | wc -l

returns 0 or a positive integer.

egrep -o (Only shows matches, trick: multiple matches on the same line produce multi-line output as if they are on different lines)

  • grep -A1 abc (print abc and the line after it)

  • grep efg | wc -l (0-n count of efg lines found after abc on the same or following lines, result can be used in an 'if")

  • grep can be changed to egrep etc. if pattern matching is needed

How to get info on sent PHP curl request

You can also use a proxy tool like Charles to capture the outgoing request headers, data, etc. by passing the proxy details through CURLOPT_PROXY to your curl_setopt_array method.

For example:

$proxy = '127.0.0.1:8888';
$opt = array (
    CURLOPT_URL => "http://www.example.com",
    CURLOPT_PROXY => $proxy,
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
    );

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $opt);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Force browser to refresh css, javascript, etc

The accepted answer above is correct. If, however, you only want to reload the cache periodically, and you are using Firefox, the Web Developer tools (under the Tools menu item as of November 2015) provides a Network option. This includes a Reload button. Select the Reload for a once off cache reset.

Copy folder recursively, excluding some folders

you can use tar, with --exclude option , and then untar it in destination. eg

cd /source_directory
tar cvf test.tar --exclude=dir_to_exclude *
mv test.tar /destination 
cd /destination  
tar xvf test.tar

see the man page of tar for more info

Why the switch statement cannot be applied on strings?

You can't use string in switch case.Only int & char are allowed. Instead you can try enum for representing the string and use it in the switch case block like

enum MyString(raj,taj,aaj);

Use it int the swich case statement.

How to search for a string in text files?

return found

if check():
    print "found"
else:
    print "not found"

How to determine whether a substring is in a different string

Can also use this method

how to open .mat file without using MATLAB?

You don't need to download any new software. You can use Octave Online to open .m files.

Error - is not marked as serializable

Leaving my specific solution of this for prosperity, as it's a tricky version of this problem:

Type 'System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereSelectArrayIterator[T...] was not marked as serializable

Due to a class with an attribute IEnumerable<int> eg:

[Serializable]
class MySessionData{
    public int ID;
    public IEnumerable<int> RelatedIDs; //This can be an issue
}

Originally the problem instance of MySessionData was set from a non-serializable list:

MySessionData instance = new MySessionData(){ 
    ID = 123,
    RelatedIDs = nonSerizableList.Select<int>(item => item.ID)
};

The cause here is the concrete class that the Select<int>(...) returns, has type data that's not serializable, and you need to copy the id's to a fresh List<int> to resolve it.

RelatedIDs = nonSerizableList.Select<int>(item => item.ID).ToList();

Link a .css on another folder

check this quick reminder of file path

Here is all you need to know about relative file paths:

  • Starting with "/" returns to the root directory and starts there
  • Starting with "../" moves one directory backwards and starts there
  • Starting with "../../" moves two directories backwards and starts there (and so on...)
  • To move forward, just start with the first subdirectory and keep moving forward

HTML span align center not working?

A div is a block element, and will span the width of the container unless a width is set. A span is an inline element, and will have the width of the text inside it. Currently, you are trying to set align as a CSS property. Align is an attribute.

<span align="center" style="border:1px solid red;">
    This is some text in a div element!
</span>

However, the align attribute is deprecated. You should use the CSS text-align property on the container.

<div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="border:1px solid red;">
        This is some text in a div element!
    </span>
</div>

How to run Selenium WebDriver test cases in Chrome

You can use the below code to run test cases in Chrome using Selenium WebDriver:

import java.io.IOException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class ChromeTest {

    /**
     * @param args
     * @throws InterruptedException
     * @throws IOException
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, IOException {
        // Telling the system where to find the Chrome driver
        System.setProperty(
                "webdriver.chrome.driver",
                "E:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Open google.com
        webDriver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

        String html = webDriver.getPageSource();

How to Sort Date in descending order From Arraylist Date in android?

Create Arraylist<Date> of Date class. And use Collections.sort() for ascending order.

See sort(List<T> list)

Sorts the specified list into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of its elements.

For Sort it in descending order See Collections.reverseOrder()

Collections.sort(yourList, Collections.reverseOrder());

How to reverse a singly linked list using only two pointers?

A simple algorithm if you use the linked list as a stack structure:

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

typedef struct list {
    int key;
    char value;
    struct list* next;
} list;
void print(list*);
void add(list**, int, char);
void reverse(list**);
void deleteList(list*);

int main(void) {
    list* head = NULL;
    int i=0;
    while ( i++ < 26 ) add(&head, i, i+'a');
    printf("Before reverse: \n");
    print(head);
    printf("After reverse: \n");
    reverse(&head);
    print(head);
    deleteList(head);

}
void deleteList(list* l) {

    list* t = l;    
    while ( t != NULL ) {
        list* tmp = t;
        t = t->next;
        free(tmp);
    }

}
void print(list* l) {
    list* t = l;
    while ( t != NULL) {
        printf("%d:%c\n", t->key, t->value);
        t = t->next;
    }
}

void reverse(list** head) {
    list* tmp = *head;
    list* reversed = NULL;
    while ( tmp != NULL ) {
        add(&reversed, tmp->key, tmp->value);
        tmp = tmp->next;
    }
    deleteList(*head);
    *head = reversed;
}

void add(list** head, int k, char v) {

    list* t = calloc(1, sizeof(list));
    t->key = k; t->value = v;
    t->next = *head;
    *head = t;

}

The performance may be affected since additional function call to the add and malloc so the algorithms of address swaps are better but that one actually creates new list so you can use additional options like sort or remove items if you add a callback function as parameter to the reverse.

Datatables - Setting column width

I have tried in many ways. The only way that worked for me was:

The Yush0 CSS solution:

#yourTable{
    table-layout: fixed !important;
    word-wrap:break-word;
}

Together with Roy Jackson HTML Solution:

    <th style='width: 5%;'>ProjectId</th>
    <th style='width: 15%;'>Title</th>
    <th style='width: 40%;'>Abstract</th>
    <th style='width: 20%;'>Keywords</th>
    <th style='width: 10%;'>PaperName</th>
    <th style='width: 10%;'>PaperURL</th>
</tr>

Unable to create a constant value of type Only primitive types or enumeration types are supported in this context

This cannot work because ppCombined is a collection of objects in memory and you cannot join a set of data in the database with another set of data that is in memory. You can try instead to extract the filtered items personProtocol of the ppCombined collection in memory after you have retrieved the other properties from the database:

var persons = db.Favorites
    .Where(f => f.userId == userId)
    .Join(db.Person, f => f.personId, p => p.personId, (f, p) =>
        new // anonymous object
        {
            personId = p.personId,
            addressId = p.addressId,   
            favoriteId = f.favoriteId,
        })
    .AsEnumerable() // database query ends here, the rest is a query in memory
    .Select(x =>
        new PersonDTO
        {
            personId = x.personId,
            addressId = x.addressId,   
            favoriteId = x.favoriteId,
            personProtocol = ppCombined
                .Where(p => p.personId == x.personId)
                .Select(p => new PersonProtocol
                {
                    personProtocolId = p.personProtocolId,
                    activateDt = p.activateDt,
                    personId = p.personId
                })
                .ToList()
        });

How to set a dropdownlist item as selected in ASP.NET?

Could not reserve enough space for object heap to start JVM

According to this post this error message means:

Heap size is larger than your computer's physical memory.

Edit: Heap is not the only memory that is reserved, I suppose. At least there are other JVM settings like PermGenSpace that ask for the memory. With heap size 128M and a PermGenSpace of 64M you already fill the space available.

Why not downsize other memory settings to free up space for the heap?

Is Constructor Overriding Possible?

Constructor overriding is not possible because of following reason.

Constructor name must be the same name of class name. In Inheritance practice you need to create two classes with different names hence two constructors must have different names. So constructor overriding is not possible and that thought not even make sense.

Why doesn't the Scanner class have a nextChar method?

The reason is that the Scanner class is designed for reading in whitespace-separated tokens. It's a convenience class that wraps an underlying input stream. Before scanner all you could do was read in single bytes, and that's a big pain if you want to read words or lines. With Scanner you pass in System.in, and it does a number of read() operations to tokenize the input for you. Reading a single character is a more basic operation. Source

You can use (char) System.in.read();.

How can I redirect a php page to another php page?

can use this to redirect

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=index.php" />';

the content=1 can be change to different value to increase the delay before redirection

Convert IEnumerable to DataTable

I also came across this problem. In my case, I didn't know the type of the IEnumerable. So the answers given above wont work. However, I solved it like this:

public static DataTable CreateDataTable(IEnumerable source)
    {
        var table = new DataTable();
        int index = 0;
        var properties = new List<PropertyInfo>();
        foreach (var obj in source)
        {
            if (index == 0)
            {
                foreach (var property in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
                {
                    if (Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(property.PropertyType) != null)
                    {
                        continue;
                    }
                    properties.Add(property);
                    table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(property.Name, property.PropertyType));
                }
            }
            object[] values = new object[properties.Count];
            for (int i = 0; i < properties.Count; i++)
            {
                values[i] = properties[i].GetValue(obj);
            }
            table.Rows.Add(values);
            index++;
        }
        return table;
    }

Keep in mind that using this method, requires at least one item in the IEnumerable. If that's not the case, the DataTable wont create any columns.

including parameters in OPENQUERY

Simple example based off of @Tuan Zaidi's example above which seemed the easiest. Didn't know you can do the filter on the outside of OPENQUERY... so much easier!

However in my case I needed to stuff it in a variable so I created an additional Sub Query Level to return a single value.

SET @SFID = (SELECT T.Id FROM (SELECT Id,  Contact_ID_SQL__c  FROM OPENQUERY([TR-SF-PROD], 'SELECT Id,  Contact_ID_SQL__c FROM Contact') WHERE Contact_ID_SQL__c = @ContactID) T)

Detect IE version (prior to v9) in JavaScript

Your code can do the check, but as you thought, if someone try to access your page using IE v1 or > v19 will not get the error, so might be more safely do the check with Regex expression like this code below:

var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
// Test if the browser is IE and check the version number is lower than 9
if (/msie/.test(userAgent) && 
    parseFloat((userAgent.match(/.*(?:rv|ie)[\/: ](.+?)([ \);]|$)/) || [])[1]) < 9) {
  // Navigate to error page
}

Fullscreen Activity in Android?

After a lot of time with no success I came with my own solution which is quit similar with another developer. So If somebody needs her it is.My problem was that system navigation bar was not hiding after calling. Also in my case I needed landscape, so just in case comment that line and that all. First of all create style

    <style name="FullscreenTheme" parent="AppTheme">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/FullscreenActionBarStyle</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@null</item>
    <item name="metaButtonBarStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarStyle</item>
    <item name="metaButtonBarButtonStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle</item>
</style>

This is my manifest file

<activity
        android:name=".Splash"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/SplashTheme">

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/FullscreenTheme">
    </activity>

This is my spalsh activity

public class Splash extends Activity {
/** Duration of wait **/
private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH = 2000;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash_creen);

    /* New Handler to start the Menu-Activity
     * and close this Splash-Screen after some seconds.*/
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
        @Override
        public void run() {
            /* Create an Intent that will start the Menu-Activity. */
            Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Splash.this,MainActivity.class);
            Splash.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
            Splash.this.finish();
        }
    }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGTH);
}

}

And this is my main full screen activity. onSystemUiVisibilityChange thi method is quit important otherwise android main navigation bar after calling will stay and not disappear anymore. Really irritating problem, but this function solves that problem.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private View mContentView;
@Override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();

    mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN

            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.fullscreen2);
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null)
    {
        actionBar.hide();
    }
    mContentView = findViewById(R.id.fullscreen_content_text);
    mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
            | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);



    View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    decorView.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener
            (new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility)
                {
                    System.out.println("print");

                    if ((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0)
                    {
                        mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);
                    }
                    else
                    {

                        mContentView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION);

                        }
                }
            });

}

}

<xsl:variable> Print out value of XSL variable using <xsl:value-of>

In XSLT the same <xsl:variable> can be declared only once and can be given a value only at its declaration. If more than one variables are declared at the same time, they are in fact different variables and have different scope.

Therefore, the way to achieve the wanted conditional setting of the variable and producing its value is the following:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="class">
    <xsl:variable name="subexists">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="joined-subclass">true</xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>false</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:variable>
        subexists:  <xsl:text/>    
        <xsl:value-of select="$subexists" />
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When the above transformation is applied on the following XML document:

<class>
 <joined-subclass/>
</class>

the wanted result is produced:

    subexists:  true

What is the difference between rb and r+b modes in file objects

My understanding is that adding r+ opens for both read and write (just like w+, though as pointed out in the comment, will truncate the file). The b just opens it in binary mode, which is supposed to be less aware of things like line separators (at least in C++).

Is there a unique Android device ID?

Also you might consider the Wi-Fi adapter's MAC address. Retrieved like this:

WifiManager wm = (WifiManager)Ctxt.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
return wm.getConnectionInfo().getMacAddress();

Requires permission android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE in the manifest.

Reported to be available even when Wi-Fi is not connected. If Joe from the answer above gives this one a try on his many devices, that'd be nice.

On some devices, it's not available when Wi-Fi is turned off.

NOTE: From Android 6.x, it returns consistent fake mac address: 02:00:00:00:00:00

What is the difference between cache and persist?

Cache() and persist() both the methods are used to improve performance of spark computation. These methods help to save intermediate results so they can be reused in subsequent stages.

The only difference between cache() and persist() is ,using Cache technique we can save intermediate results in memory only when needed while in Persist() we can save the intermediate results in 5 storage levels(MEMORY_ONLY, MEMORY_AND_DISK, MEMORY_ONLY_SER, MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER, DISK_ONLY).

What is the best place for storing uploaded images, SQL database or disk file system?

If they are small files that will not need to be edited then option B is not a bad option. I prefer this to writing logic to store files and deal with crazy directory structure issues. Having a lot of files in one directory is bad. emkay?

If the files are large or require constant editing, especially from programs like office, then option A is your best bet.

For most cases, it's a matter of preference, but if you go option A, just make re the directories don't have too many files in them. If you choose option B, then make the table with the BLOBed data be in it's own database and/or file group. This will help with maintenance, especially backups/restores. Your regular data is probably fairly small, while your image data will be huge over time.

Differences between dependencyManagement and dependencies in Maven

It's like you said; dependencyManagementis used to pull all the dependency information into a common POM file, simplifying the references in the child POM file.

It becomes useful when you have multiple attributes that you don't want to retype in under multiple children projects.

Finally, dependencyManagement can be used to define a standard version of an artifact to use across multiple projects.

Then you would be able to connect to MySQL from other IP address/machine.

Setting default permissions for newly created files and sub-directories under a directory in Linux?

To get the right ownership, you can set the group setuid bit on the directory with

chmod g+rwxs dirname

This will ensure that files created in the directory are owned by the group. You should then make sure everyone runs with umask 002 or 007 or something of that nature---this is why Debian and many other linux systems are configured with per-user groups by default.

I don't know of a way to force the permissions you want if the user's umask is too strong.

Presto SQL - Converting a date string to date format

What is an OS kernel ? How does it differ from an operating system?

a kernel is part of the operating system, it is the first thing that the boot loader loads onto the cpu (for most operating systems), it is the part that interfaces with the hardware, and it also manages what programs can do what with the hardware, it is really the central part of the os, it is made up of drivers, a driver is a program that interfaces with a particular piece of hardware, for example: if I made a digital camera for computers, I would need to make a driver for it, the drivers are the only programs that can control the input and output of the computer

Changing a specific column name in pandas DataFrame

A one liner does exist:

In [27]: df=df.rename(columns = {'two':'new_name'})

In [28]: df
Out[28]: 
  one three  new_name
0    1     a         9
1    2     b         8
2    3     c         7
3    4     d         6
4    5     e         5

Following is the docstring for the rename method.

Definition: df.rename(self, index=None, columns=None, copy=True, inplace=False)
Docstring:

functions. Function / dict values must be unique (1-to-1). Labels not
contained in a dict / Series will be left as-is.

Parameters
----------
index : dict-like or function, optional
    Transformation to apply to index values
columns : dict-like or function, optional
    Transformation to apply to column values
copy : boolean, default True
    Also copy underlying data
inplace : boolean, default False
    Whether to return a new DataFrame. If True then value of copy is
    ignored.

renamed : DataFrame (new object)

Is there a workaround for ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 error?

I ran into this issue recently and figured out a cheeky way of doing it without stringing together additional IN clauses

You could make use of Tuples

SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM table1
WHERE (1, name) IN ((1, value1), (1, value2), (1, value3),.....(1, value5000));

Oracle does allow >1000 Tuples but not simple values. More on this here,

https://community.oracle.com/message/3515498#3515498
and
https://community.oracle.com/thread/958612

This is of course if you don't have the option of using a subquery inside IN to get the values you need from a temp table.

How can I change cols of textarea in twitter-bootstrap?

I don't know if this is the correct way however I did this:

<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="id1">Label:</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <textarea id="id1" class="textareawidth" rows="10" name="anyname">value</textarea>
  </div>
</div>

and put this in my bootstrapcustom.css file:

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .textareawidth {
        width:500px;
    }
}
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .textareawidth {

}

This way it resizes based on the viewport. Seems to line everything up nicely on a big browser and on a small mobile device.

How can I convert a comma-separated string to an array?

Return function

var array = (new Function("return [" + str+ "];")());

Its accept string and objectstrings:

var string = "0,1";

var objectstring = '{Name:"Tshirt", CatGroupName:"Clothes", Gender:"male-female"}, {Name:"Dress", CatGroupName:"Clothes", Gender:"female"}, {Name:"Belt", CatGroupName:"Leather", Gender:"child"}';

var stringArray = (new Function("return [" + string+ "];")());

var objectStringArray = (new Function("return [" + objectstring+ "];")());

Adb over wireless without usb cable at all for not rooted phones

For your question

Adb over wireless without USB cable at all for not rooted phones

 You can't do it for now without USB cable.

But you have an option:

Note: You need put USB at least once to achieve the following:

You need to connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Make sure USB debugging is working. You can check if it shows up when running adb devices.

Open cmd in ...\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

Step1: Run adb devices

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb devices

You can check if it shows up when running adb devices.

Step2: Run adb tcpip 5555

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb tcpip 5555

Disconnect your device (remove the USB cable).

Step3: Go to the Settings -> About phone -> Status to view the IP address of your phone.

.

Step4: Run `adb connect

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.0.2

Step5: Run adb devices again, you should see your device.

Now you can execute adb commands or use your favourite IDE for android development - wireless!

Now you might ask, what do I have to do when I move into a different work space and change WiFi networks? You do not have to repeat steps 1 to 3 (these set your phone into WiFi-debug mode). You do have to connect to your phone again by executing steps 4 to 6.

Unfortunately, the android phones lose the WiFi-debug mode when restarting. Thus, if your battery died, you have to start over. Otherwise, if you keep an eye on your battery and do not restart your phone, you can live without a cable for weeks!

See here for more

Happy wireless coding!

Ref: https://futurestud.io/tutorials/how-to-debug-your-android-app-over-wifi-without-root

UPDATE:

If you set C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools this path in Environment variables then there is no need to repeat all steps, you can simply use only Step 4 that's it, it will connect to your device.

To set path : My Computer-> Right click--> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment variables -> edit path in System variables -> paste the platform-tools path in variable value -> ok -> ok -> ok

How do you get the index of the current iteration of a foreach loop?

There's nothing wrong with using a counter variable. In fact, whether you use for, foreach while or do, a counter variable must somewhere be declared and incremented.

So use this idiom if you're not sure if you have a suitably-indexed collection:

var i = 0;
foreach (var e in collection) {
   // Do stuff with 'e' and 'i'
   i++;
}

Else use this one if you know that your indexable collection is O(1) for index access (which it will be for Array and probably for List<T> (the documentation doesn't say), but not necessarily for other types (such as LinkedList)):

// Hope the JIT compiler optimises read of the 'Count' property!
for (var i = 0; i < collection.Count; i++) {
   var e = collection[i];
   // Do stuff with 'e' and 'i'
}

It should never be necessary to 'manually' operate the IEnumerator by invoking MoveNext() and interrogating Current - foreach is saving you that particular bother ... if you need to skip items, just use a continue in the body of the loop.

And just for completeness, depending on what you were doing with your index (the above constructs offer plenty of flexibility), you might use Parallel LINQ:

// First, filter 'e' based on 'i',
// then apply an action to remaining 'e'
collection
    .AsParallel()
    .Where((e,i) => /* filter with e,i */)
    .ForAll(e => { /* use e, but don't modify it */ });

// Using 'e' and 'i', produce a new collection,
// where each element incorporates 'i'
collection
    .AsParallel()
    .Select((e, i) => new MyWrapper(e, i));

We use AsParallel() above, because it's 2014 already, and we want to make good use of those multiple cores to speed things up. Further, for 'sequential' LINQ, you only get a ForEach() extension method on List<T> and Array ... and it's not clear that using it is any better than doing a simple foreach, since you are still running single-threaded for uglier syntax.

How to update json file with python

def updateJsonFile():
    jsonFile = open("replayScript.json", "r") # Open the JSON file for reading
    data = json.load(jsonFile) # Read the JSON into the buffer
    jsonFile.close() # Close the JSON file

    ## Working with buffered content
    tmp = data["location"] 
    data["location"] = path
    data["mode"] = "replay"

    ## Save our changes to JSON file
    jsonFile = open("replayScript.json", "w+")
    jsonFile.write(json.dumps(data))
    jsonFile.close()

Recursively find files with a specific extension

As an alternative to using -regex option on find, since the question is labeled , you can use the brace expansion mechanism:

eval find . -false "-o -name Robert".{jpg,pdf}

The instance of entity type cannot be tracked because another instance of this type with the same key is already being tracked

It sounds as you really just want to track the changes made to the model, not to actually keep an untracked model in memory. May I suggest an alternative approach wich will remove the problem entirely?

EF will automticallly track changes for you. How about making use of that built in logic?

Ovverride SaveChanges() in your DbContext.

    public override int SaveChanges()
    {
        foreach (var entry in ChangeTracker.Entries<Client>())
        {
            if (entry.State == EntityState.Modified)
            {
                // Get the changed values.
                var modifiedProps = ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(entry.EntityKey).GetModifiedProperties();
                var currentValues = ObjectStateManager.GetObjectStateEntry(entry.EntityKey).CurrentValues;
                foreach (var propName in modifiedProps)
                {
                    var newValue = currentValues[propName];
                    //log changes
                }
            }
        }

        return base.SaveChanges();
    }

Good examples can be found here:

Entity Framework 6: audit/track changes

Implementing Audit Log / Change History with MVC & Entity Framework

EDIT: Client can easily be changed to an interface. Let's say ITrackableEntity. This way you can centralize the logic and automatically log all changes to all entities that implement a specific interface. The interface itself doesn't have any specific properties.

    public override int SaveChanges()
    {
        foreach (var entry in ChangeTracker.Entries<ITrackableClient>())
        {
            if (entry.State == EntityState.Modified)
            {
                // Same code as example above.
            }
        }

        return base.SaveChanges();
    }

Also, take a look at eranga's great suggestion to subscribe instead of actually overriding SaveChanges().

Why does this CSS margin-top style not work?

Try using display: inline-block; on the inner div.

#outer {
    width:500px; 
    height:200px; 
    background:#FFCCCC;
    margin:50px auto 0 auto;
    display:block;
}
#inner {
    background:#FFCC33;
    margin:50px 50px 50px 50px;
    padding:10px;
    display:inline-block;
}

Current date and time as string

Non C++11 solution: With the <ctime> header, you could use strftime. Make sure your buffer is large enough, you wouldn't want to overrun it and wreak havoc later.

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

int main ()
{
  time_t rawtime;
  struct tm * timeinfo;
  char buffer[80];

  time (&rawtime);
  timeinfo = localtime(&rawtime);

  strftime(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S",timeinfo);
  std::string str(buffer);

  std::cout << str;

  return 0;
}

Does C# support multiple inheritance?

In generally, you can’t do it.

Consider these interfaces and classes:

public class A { }    
public class B { }
public class C { }

public interface IA { }
public interface IB { }

You can inherit multiple interfaces:

class A : B, IA, IB {
  // Inherits any single base class, plus multiple interfaces.
}

But you can’t inherit multiple classes:

class A : B, C, IA, IB {
    // Inherits multiple base classes, plus multiple interfaces.
}

}

...generated a compile time error. I corrected the error by editing the first line to read:

How to find specified name and its value in JSON-string from Java?

Gson allows for one of the simplest possible solutions. Compared to similar APIs like Jackson or svenson, Gson by default doesn't even need the unused JSON elements to have bindings available in the Java structure. Specific to the question asked, here's a working solution.

import com.google.gson.Gson;

public class Foo
{
  static String jsonInput = 
    "{" + 
      "\"name\":\"John\"," + 
      "\"age\":\"20\"," + 
      "\"address\":\"some address\"," + 
      "\"someobject\":" +
      "{" + 
        "\"field\":\"value\"" + 
      "}" + 
    "}";

  String age;

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  {
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    Foo thing = gson.fromJson(jsonInput, Foo.class);
    if (thing.age != null)
    {
      System.out.println("age is " + thing.age);
    }
    else
    {
      System.out.println("age element not present or value is null");
    }
  }
}

@import vs #import - iOS 7

There is a few benefits of using modules. You can use it only with Apple's framework unless module map is created. @import is a bit similar to pre-compiling headers files when added to .pch file which is a way to tune app the compilation process. Additionally you do not have to add libraries in the old way, using @import is much faster and efficient in fact. If you still look for a nice reference I will highly recommend you reading this article.

add Shadow on UIView using swift 3

If you want to use it as a IBInspectable property for your views you can add this extension

import UIKit

extension UIView {

    private static var _addShadow:Bool = false

    @IBInspectable var addShadow:Bool {
        get {
            return UIView._addShadow
        }
        set(newValue) {
            if(newValue == true){
                layer.masksToBounds = false
                layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
                layer.shadowOpacity = 0.075
                layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: -3)
                layer.shadowRadius = 1

                layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: bounds).cgPath
                layer.shouldRasterize = true
                layer.rasterizationScale =  UIScreen.main.scale
            }
        }
    }

}

File Not Found when running PHP with Nginx

The error message “Primary script unknown or in your case is file not found.” is almost always related to a wrongly set in line SCRIPT_FILENAME in the Nginx fastcgi_param directive (Quote from https://serverfault.com/a/517327/560171).

In my case, I use Nginx 1.17.10 and my configuration is:

    location ~ \.php$ {
      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      include fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
    }

You just change $document_root to $realpath_root, so whatever your root location, like /var/www/html/project/, you don't need write fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/html/project$fastcgi_script_name; each time your root is changes. This configuration is more flexible. May this helps.

=================================================================================

For more information, if you got unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, just change in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, from user nginx; to user www-data;.

Because the default user and group of PHP-FPM process is www-data as can be seen in /etc/php/7.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf file (Qoute from https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-nginx-latest-version-ubuntu-18-04):

user = www-data
group = www-data

May this information gives a big help

How to make zsh run as a login shell on Mac OS X (in iTerm)?

Have you tried editing the shell entry in account settings.

Go to the Accounts preferences, unlock, and right-click on your user account for the Advanced Settings dialog. Your shell should be /bin/zsh, and you can edit that invocation appropriately (i.e. add the --login argument).

Entity Framework change connection at runtime

DbContext has a constructor overload that accepts the name of a connection string or a connection string itself. Implement your own version and pass it to the base constructor:

public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
    public MyDbContext( string nameOrConnectionString ) 
        : base( nameOrConnectionString )
    {
    }
}

Then simply pass the name of a configured connection string or a connection string itself when you instantiate your DbContext

var context = new MyDbContext( "..." );

In which case do you use the JPA @JoinTable annotation?

It lets you handle Many to Many relationship. Example:

Table 1: post

post has following columns
____________________
|  ID     |  DATE   |
|_________|_________|
|         |         |
|_________|_________|

Table 2: user

user has the following columns:

____________________
|     ID  |NAME     |
|_________|_________|
|         |         |
|_________|_________|

Join Table lets you create a mapping using:

@JoinTable(
  name="USER_POST",
  joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="USER_ID", referencedColumnName="ID"),
  inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="POST_ID", referencedColumnName="ID"))

will create a table:

____________________
|  USER_ID| POST_ID |
|_________|_________|
|         |         |
|_________|_________|

Understanding the Linux oom-killer's logs

Memory management in Linux is a bit tricky to understand, and I can't say I fully understand it yet, but I'll try to share a little bit of my experience and knowledge.

Short answer to your question: Yes there are other stuff included than whats in the list.

What's being shown in your list is applications run in userspace. The kernel uses memory for itself and modules, on top of that it also has a lower limit of free memory that you can't go under. When you've reached that level it will try to free up resources, and when it can't do that anymore, you end up with an OOM problem.

From the last line of your list you can read that the kernel reports a total-vm usage of: 1498536kB (1,5GB), where the total-vm includes both your physical RAM and swap space. You stated you don't have any swap but the kernel seems to think otherwise since your swap space is reported to be full (Total swap = 524284kB, Free swap = 0kB) and it reports a total vmem size of 1,5GB.

Another thing that can complicate things further is memory fragmentation. You can hit the OOM killer when the kernel tries to allocate lets say 4096kB of continous memory, but there are no free ones availible.

Now that alone probably won't help you solve the actual problem. I don't know if it's normal for your program to require that amount of memory, but I would recommend to try a static code analyzer like cppcheck to check for memory leaks or file descriptor leaks. You could also try to run it through Valgrind to get a bit more information out about memory usage.

How to have Java method return generic list of any type?

private Object actuallyT;

public <T> List<T> magicalListGetter(Class<T> klazz) {
    List<T> list = new ArrayList<>();
    list.add(klazz.cast(actuallyT));
    try {
        list.add(klazz.getConstructor().newInstance()); // If default constructor
    } ...
    return list;
}

One can give a generic type parameter to a method too. You have correctly deduced that one needs the correct class instance, to create things (klazz.getConstructor().newInstance()).

What is the standard Python docstring format?

It's Python; anything goes. Consider how to publish your documentation. Docstrings are invisible except to readers of your source code.

People really like to browse and search documentation on the web. To achieve that, use the documentation tool Sphinx. It's the de-facto standard for documenting Python projects. The product is beautiful - take a look at https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ . The website Read the Docs will host your docs for free.

How to parse json string in Android?

Below is the link which guide in parsing JSON string in android.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-andbene1/?S_TACT=105AGY82&S_CMP=MAVE

Also according to your json string code snippet must be something like this:-

JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(yourstring);

JSONObject universityObject = mainObject.getJSONObject("university");
JSONString name = universityObject.getString("name");  
JSONString url = universityObject.getString("url");

Following is the API reference for JSOnObject: https://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html#getString(java.lang.String)

Same for other object.

How do we check if a pointer is NULL pointer?

The representation of pointers is irrelevant to comparing them, since all comparisons in C take place as values not representations. The only way to compare the representation would be something hideous like:

if (!memcmp(&ptr, ptr_rep, sizeof ptr)) ...

Since you have a FULL backup, you can restore the backup to a different server as a database of the same name or to the same server with a different name.

Then you can just review the contents pre-update and write a SQL script to do the update.

NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS

I was using

SELECT * from TABLE1 WHERE Col1 NOT IN (SELECT Col1 FROM TABLE2)

and found that it was giving wrong results (By wrong I mean no results). As there was a NULL in TABLE2.Col1.

While changing the query to

SELECT * from TABLE1 T1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT Col1 FROM TABLE2 T2 WHERE T1.Col1 = T2.Col2)

gave me the correct results.

Since then I have started using NOT EXISTS every where.

How to call a method function from another class?

You need to understand the difference between classes and objects. From the Java tutorial:

An object is a software bundle of related state and behavior

A class is a blueprint or prototype from which objects are created

You've defined the prototypes but done nothing with them. To use an object, you need to create it. In Java, we use the new keyword.

new Date();

You will need to assign the object to a variable of the same type as the class the object was created from.

Date d = new Date();

Once you have a reference to the object you can interact with it

d.date("01", "12", "14");

The exception to this is static methods that belong to the class and are referenced through it

public class MyDate{
  public static date(){ ... }
}

...
MyDate.date();

In case you aren't aware, Java already has a class for representing dates, you probably don't want to create your own.

Initialize a string in C to empty string

It's a bit late but I think your issue may be that you've created a zero-length array, rather than an array of length 1.

A string is a series of characters followed by a string terminator ('\0'). An empty string ("") consists of no characters followed by a single string terminator character - i.e. one character in total.

So I would try the following:

string[1] = ""

Note that this behaviour is not the emulated by strlen, which does not count the terminator as part of the string length.

Getting an "ambiguous redirect" error

put quotes around your variable. If it happens to have spaces, it will give you "ambiguous redirect" as well. also check your spelling

echo $AAAA"     "$DDDD"         "$MOL_TAG  >>  "${OUPUT_RESULTS}"

eg of ambiguous redirect

$ var="file with spaces"
$ echo $AAAA"     "$DDDD"         "$MOL_TAG >> ${var}
bash: ${var}: ambiguous redirect
$ echo $AAAA"     "$DDDD"         "$MOL_TAG >> "${var}"
$ cat file\ with\ spaces
aaaa     dddd         mol_tag

Why doesn't java.io.File have a close method?

Essentially random access file wraps input and output streams in order to manage the random access. You don't open and close a file, you open and close streams to a file.

Margin on child element moves parent element

interestingly my favorite solution to this problem isn't yet mentioned here: using floats.

html:

<div class="parent">
    <div class="child"></div>
</div>

css:

.parent{width:100px; height:100px;}
.child{float:left; margin-top:20px; width:50px; height:50px;}

see it here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Iphol

note that in case you need dynamic height on the parent, it also has to float, so simply replace height:100px; by float:left;

Converting a byte array to PNG/JPG

You should be able to do something like this:

byte[] bitmap = GetYourImage();

using(Image image = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(bitmap)))
{
    image.Save("output.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);  // Or Png
}

Look here for more info.

Hopefully this helps.

How to Specify Eclipse Proxy Authentication Credentials?

If you have still problems, try deactivating ("Clear") SOCKS

see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281384 "I believe the reason for this is because it uses the SOCKS proxy instead of the HTTP proxy if SOCKS is configured."

Python class returning value

Use __new__ to return value from a class.

As others suggest __repr__,__str__ or even __init__ (somehow) CAN give you what you want, But __new__ will be a semantically better solution for your purpose since you want the actual object to be returned and not just the string representation of it.

Read this answer for more insights into __str__ and __repr__ https://stackoverflow.com/a/19331543/4985585

class MyClass():
    def __new__(cls):
        return list() #or anything you want

>>> MyClass()
[]   #Returns a true list not a repr or string

Asynchronous method call in Python?

Is there any reason not to use threads? You can use the threading class. Instead of finished() function use the isAlive(). The result() function could join() the thread and retrieve the result. And, if you can, override the run() and __init__ functions to call the function specified in the constructor and save the value somewhere to the instance of the class.

CSS to keep element at "fixed" position on screen

The easiest way is to use position: fixed:

.element {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
}

(note that position fixed is buggy / doesn't work on ios and android browsers)

How many socket connections possible?

A limit on the number of open sockets is configurable in the /proc file system

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

Max for incoming connections in the OS defined by integer limits.

Linux itself allows billions of open sockets.

To use the sockets you need an application listening, e.g. a web server, and that will use a certain amount of RAM per socket.

RAM and CPU will introduce the real limits. (modern 2017, think millions not billions)

1 millions is possible, not easy. Expect to use X Gigabytes of RAM to manage 1 million sockets.

Outgoing TCP connections are limited by port numbers ~65000 per IP. You can have multiple IP addresses, but not unlimited IP addresses. This is a limit in TCP not Linux.

What are the calling conventions for UNIX & Linux system calls (and user-space functions) on i386 and x86-64

Further reading for any of the topics here: The Definitive Guide to Linux System Calls


I verified these using GNU Assembler (gas) on Linux.

Kernel Interface

x86-32 aka i386 Linux System Call convention:

In x86-32 parameters for Linux system call are passed using registers. %eax for syscall_number. %ebx, %ecx, %edx, %esi, %edi, %ebp are used for passing 6 parameters to system calls.

The return value is in %eax. All other registers (including EFLAGS) are preserved across the int $0x80.

I took following snippet from the Linux Assembly Tutorial but I'm doubtful about this. If any one can show an example, it would be great.

If there are more than six arguments, %ebx must contain the memory location where the list of arguments is stored - but don't worry about this because it's unlikely that you'll use a syscall with more than six arguments.

For an example and a little more reading, refer to http://www.int80h.org/bsdasm/#alternate-calling-convention. Another example of a Hello World for i386 Linux using int 0x80: Hello, world in assembly language with Linux system calls?

There is a faster way to make 32-bit system calls: using sysenter. The kernel maps a page of memory into every process (the vDSO), with the user-space side of the sysenter dance, which has to cooperate with the kernel for it to be able to find the return address. Arg to register mapping is the same as for int $0x80. You should normally call into the vDSO instead of using sysenter directly. (See The Definitive Guide to Linux System Calls for info on linking and calling into the vDSO, and for more info on sysenter, and everything else to do with system calls.)

x86-32 [Free|Open|Net|DragonFly]BSD UNIX System Call convention:

Parameters are passed on the stack. Push the parameters (last parameter pushed first) on to the stack. Then push an additional 32-bit of dummy data (Its not actually dummy data. refer to following link for more info) and then give a system call instruction int $0x80

http://www.int80h.org/bsdasm/#default-calling-convention


x86-64 Linux System Call convention:

(Note: x86-64 Mac OS X is similar but different from Linux. TODO: check what *BSD does)

Refer to section: "A.2 AMD64 Linux Kernel Conventions" of System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement. The latest versions of the i386 and x86-64 System V psABIs can be found linked from this page in the ABI maintainer's repo. (See also the tag wiki for up-to-date ABI links and lots of other good stuff about x86 asm.)

Here is the snippet from this section:

  1. User-level applications use as integer registers for passing the sequence %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8 and %r9. The kernel interface uses %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %r10, %r8 and %r9.
  2. A system-call is done via the syscall instruction. This clobbers %rcx and %r11 as well as the %rax return value, but other registers are preserved.
  3. The number of the syscall has to be passed in register %rax.
  4. System-calls are limited to six arguments, no argument is passed directly on the stack.
  5. Returning from the syscall, register %rax contains the result of the system-call. A value in the range between -4095 and -1 indicates an error, it is -errno.
  6. Only values of class INTEGER or class MEMORY are passed to the kernel.

Remember this is from the Linux-specific appendix to the ABI, and even for Linux it's informative not normative. (But it is in fact accurate.)

This 32-bit int $0x80 ABI is usable in 64-bit code (but highly not recommended). What happens if you use the 32-bit int 0x80 Linux ABI in 64-bit code? It still truncates its inputs to 32-bit, so it's unsuitable for pointers, and it zeros r8-r11.

User Interface: function calling

x86-32 Function Calling convention:

In x86-32 parameters were passed on stack. Last parameter was pushed first on to the stack until all parameters are done and then call instruction was executed. This is used for calling C library (libc) functions on Linux from assembly.

Modern versions of the i386 System V ABI (used on Linux) require 16-byte alignment of %esp before a call, like the x86-64 System V ABI has always required. Callees are allowed to assume that and use SSE 16-byte loads/stores that fault on unaligned. But historically, Linux only required 4-byte stack alignment, so it took extra work to reserve naturally-aligned space even for an 8-byte double or something.

Some other modern 32-bit systems still don't require more than 4 byte stack alignment.


x86-64 System V user-space Function Calling convention:

x86-64 System V passes args in registers, which is more efficient than i386 System V's stack args convention. It avoids the latency and extra instructions of storing args to memory (cache) and then loading them back again in the callee. This works well because there are more registers available, and is better for modern high-performance CPUs where latency and out-of-order execution matter. (The i386 ABI is very old).

In this new mechanism: First the parameters are divided into classes. The class of each parameter determines the manner in which it is passed to the called function.

For complete information refer to : "3.2 Function Calling Sequence" of System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement which reads, in part:

Once arguments are classified, the registers get assigned (in left-to-right order) for passing as follows:

  1. If the class is MEMORY, pass the argument on the stack.
  2. If the class is INTEGER, the next available register of the sequence %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8 and %r9 is used

So %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8 and %r9 are the registers in order used to pass integer/pointer (i.e. INTEGER class) parameters to any libc function from assembly. %rdi is used for the first INTEGER parameter. %rsi for 2nd, %rdx for 3rd and so on. Then call instruction should be given. The stack (%rsp) must be 16B-aligned when call executes.

If there are more than 6 INTEGER parameters, the 7th INTEGER parameter and later are passed on the stack. (Caller pops, same as x86-32.)

The first 8 floating point args are passed in %xmm0-7, later on the stack. There are no call-preserved vector registers. (A function with a mix of FP and integer arguments can have more than 8 total register arguments.)

Variadic functions (like printf) always need %al = the number of FP register args.

There are rules for when to pack structs into registers (rdx:rax on return) vs. in memory. See the ABI for details, and check compiler output to make sure your code agrees with compilers about how something should be passed/returned.


Note that the Windows x64 function calling convention has multiple significant differences from x86-64 System V, like shadow space that must be reserved by the caller (instead of a red-zone), and call-preserved xmm6-xmm15. And very different rules for which arg goes in which register.

Is it possible to use a batch file to establish a telnet session, send a command and have the output written to a file?

First of all, a caveat. Why do you want to use telnet? telnet is an old protocol, unsafe and impractical for remote access. It's been (almost)totally replaced by ssh.

To answer your questions, it depends. It depends on the telnet client you use. If you use microsoft telnet, you can't. Microsoft telnet does not have any mean to send commands from a batch file or a command line.

How to get maximum value from the Collection (for example ArrayList)?

We can simply use Collections.max() and Collections.min() method.

public class MaxList {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List l = new ArrayList();
        l.add(1);
        l.add(2);
        l.add(3);
        l.add(4);
        l.add(5);
        System.out.println(Collections.max(l)); // 5
        System.out.println(Collections.min(l)); // 1
    }
}

How to perform case-insensitive sorting in JavaScript?

The other answers assume that the array contains strings. My method is better, because it will work even if the array contains null, undefined, or other non-strings.

var notdefined;
var myarray = ['a', 'c', null, notdefined, 'nulk', 'BYE', 'nulm'];

myarray.sort(ignoreCase);

alert(JSON.stringify(myarray));    // show the result

function ignoreCase(a,b) {
    return (''+a).toUpperCase() < (''+b).toUpperCase() ? -1 : 1;
}

The null will be sorted between 'nulk' and 'nulm'. But the undefined will be always sorted last.

Why does an SSH remote command get fewer environment variables then when run manually?

What is the meaning of the CascadeType.ALL for a @ManyToOne JPA association

From the EJB3.0 Specification:

Use of the cascade annotation element may be used to propagate the effect of an operation to associated entities. The cascade functionality is most typically used in parent-child relationships.

If X is a managed entity, the remove operation causes it to become removed. The remove operation is cascaded to entities referenced by X, if the relationships from X to these other entities is annotated with the cascade=REMOVE or cascade=ALL annotation element value.

So in a nutshell, entity relationships defined with CascadeType.All will ensure that all persistence events such as persist, refresh, merge and remove that occur on the parent, will be passed to the child. Defining other CascadeType options provides the developer with a more granular level of control over how the entity association handles persistence.

For example if I had an object Book that contained a List of pages and I add a page object within this list. If the @OneToMany annotation defining the association between Book and Page is marked as CascadeType.All, persisting the Book would result in the Page also being persisted to the database.

HttpRequest maximum allowable size in tomcat?

Although other answers include some of the following information, this is the absolute minimum that needs to be changed on EC2 instances, specifically regarding deployment of large WAR files, and is the least likely to cause issues during future updates. I've been running into these limits about every other year due to the ever-increasing size of the Jenkins WAR file (now ~72MB).

More specifically, this answer is applicable if you encounter a variant of the following error in catalina.out:

SEVERE [https-jsse-nio-8443-exec-17] org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log HTMLManager:
FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception:
[org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException:
the request was rejected because its size (75333656) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)]

On Amazon EC2 Linux instances, the only file that needs to be modified from the default installation of Tomcat (sudo yum install tomcat8) is:

/usr/share/tomcat8/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml

By default, the maximum upload size is exactly 50MB:

<multipart-config>
  <!-- 50MB max -->
  <max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size>
  <max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size>
  <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
</multipart-config>

There are only two values that need to be modified (max-file-size and max-request-size):

<multipart-config>
  <!-- 100MB max -->
  <max-file-size>104857600</max-file-size>
  <max-request-size>104857600</max-request-size>
  <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
</multipart-config>

When Tomcat is upgraded on these instances, the new version of the manager web.xml will be placed in web.xml.rpmnew, so any modifications to the original file will not be overwritten during future updates.

Don't hard code it: this is the sort of thing that can change. Many programs figure out what to bind to by reading in a config file, and doing whatever that says. This way, should your program sometime in the future need to bind to something that's not a public IP, it can do so.

How to copy part of an array to another array in C#?

int[] a = {1,2,3,4,5};

int [] b= new int[a.length]; //New Array and the size of a which is 4

Array.Copy(a,b,a.length);

Where Array is class having method Copy, which copies the element of a array to b array.

While copying from one array to another array, you have to provide same data type to another array of which you are copying.

error: invalid initialization of non-const reference of type ‘int&’ from an rvalue of type ‘int’

Non-const and const reference binding follow different rules

These are the rules of the C++ language:

  • an expression consisting of a literal number (12) is a "rvalue"
  • it is not permitted to create a non-const reference with a rvalue: int &ri = 12; is ill-formed
  • it is permitted to create a const reference with a rvalue: in this case, an unnamed object is created by the compiler; this object will persist as long as the reference itself exist.

You have to understand that these are C++ rules. They just are.

It is easy to invent a different language, say C++', with slightly different rules. In C++', it would be permitted to create a non-const reference with a rvalue. There is nothing inconsistent or impossible here.

But it would allow some risky code where the programmer might not get what he intended, and C++ designers rightly decided to avoid that risk.

How to get current domain name in ASP.NET

Try getting the “left part” of the url, like this:

string domainName = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);

This will give you either http://localhost:5858 or https://www.somedomainname.com whether you're on local or production. If you want to drop the www part, you should configure IIS to do so, but that's another topic.

Do note that the resulting URL will not have a trailing slash.

How to loop over a Class attributes in Java?

There is no linguistic support to do what you're asking for.

You can reflectively access the members of a type at run-time using reflection (e.g. with Class.getDeclaredFields() to get an array of Field), but depending on what you're trying to do, this may not be the best solution.

Example

Here's a simple example to show only some of what reflection is capable of doing.

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class DumpFields {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        inspect(String.class);
    }
    static <T> void inspect(Class<T> klazz) {
        Field[] fields = klazz.getDeclaredFields();
        System.out.printf("%d fields:%n", fields.length);
        for (Field field : fields) {
            System.out.printf("%s %s %s%n",
                Modifier.toString(field.getModifiers()),
                field.getType().getSimpleName(),
                field.getName()
            );
        }
    }
}

The above snippet uses reflection to inspect all the declared fields of class String; it produces the following output:

7 fields:
private final char[] value
private final int offset
private final int count
private int hash
private static final long serialVersionUID
private static final ObjectStreamField[] serialPersistentFields
public static final Comparator CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER

Effective Java 2nd Edition, Item 53: Prefer interfaces to reflection

These are excerpts from the book:

Given a Class object, you can obtain Constructor, Method, and Field instances representing the constructors, methods and fields of the class. [They] let you manipulate their underlying counterparts reflectively. This power, however, comes at a price:

  • You lose all the benefits of compile-time checking.
  • The code required to perform reflective access is clumsy and verbose.
  • Performance suffers.

As a rule, objects should not be accessed reflectively in normal applications at runtime.

There are a few sophisticated applications that require reflection. Examples include [...omitted on purpose...] If you have any doubts as to whether your application falls into one of these categories, it probably doesn't.

Resizing an Image without losing any quality

You can't resize an image without losing some quality, simply because you are reducing the number of pixels.

Don't reduce the size client side, because browsers don't do a good job of resizing images.

What you can do is programatically change the size before you render it, or as a user uploads it.

Here is an article that explains one way to do this in c#: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/imageresize.aspx

Convert MySql DateTime stamp into JavaScript's Date format

I think I may have found a simpler way, that nobody mentioned.

A MySQL DATETIME column can be converted to a unix timestamp through:

SELECT unix_timestamp(my_datetime_column) as stamp ...

We can make a new JavaScript Date object by using the constructor that requires milliseconds since the epoch. The unix_timestamp function returns seconds since the epoch, so we need to multiply by 1000:

SELECT unix_timestamp(my_datetime_column) * 1000 as stamp ...

The resulting value can be used directly to instantiate a correct Javascript Date object:

var myDate = new Date(<?=$row['stamp']?>);

Hope this helps.

How to resume Fragment from BackStack if exists

I know this is quite late to answer this question but I resolved this problem by myself and thought worth sharing it with everyone.`

public void replaceFragment(BaseFragment fragment) {
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    final FragmentManager fManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    BaseFragment fragm = (BaseFragment) fManager.findFragmentByTag(fragment.getFragmentTag());
    transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.enter_from_right, R.anim.exit_to_left, R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.exit_to_right);

    if (fragm == null) {  //here fragment is not available in the stack
        transaction.replace(R.id.container, fragment, fragment.getFragmentTag());
        transaction.addToBackStack(fragment.getFragmentTag());
    } else { 
        //fragment was found in the stack , now we can reuse the fragment
        // please do not add in back stack else it will add transaction in back stack
        transaction.replace(R.id.container, fragm, fragm.getFragmentTag()); 
    }
    transaction.commit();
}

And in the onBackPressed()

 @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount()>1){
        super.onBackPressed();
    }else{
        finish();
    }
}

How to use TLS 1.2 in Java 6

I think that the solution of @Azimuts (https://stackoverflow.com/a/33375677/6503697) is for HTTP only connection. For FTPS connection you can use Bouncy Castle with org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient without the need for rewrite FTPS protocol.

I have a program running on JRE 1.6.0_04 and I can not update the JRE.

The program has to connect to an FTPS server that work only with TLS 1.2 (IIS server).

I struggled for days and finally I have understood that there are few versions of bouncy castle library right in my use case: bctls-jdk15on-1.60.jar and bcprov-jdk15on-1.60.jar are ok, but 1.64 versions are not.

The version of apache commons-net is 3.1 .

Following is a small snippet of code that should work:

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.security.Security;

import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext;
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager;
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager;

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient;
import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;
import org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.BouncyCastleJsseProvider;
import org.junit.Test;


public class FtpsTest {

// Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {

    public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
        return null;
    }

    public void checkClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
    }

    public void checkServerTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] certs, String authType) {
    }
} };

@Test public void test() throws Exception {


    Security.insertProviderAt(new BouncyCastleProvider(), 1);
    Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleJsseProvider());


    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS", new BouncyCastleJsseProvider());
    sslContext.init(null, trustAllCerts, new SecureRandom());
    org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient ftpClient = new FTPSClient(sslContext);
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = null;
    try {

        ftpClient.connect("hostaname", 21);
        if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(ftpClient.getReplyCode())) {
            String msg = "Il server ftp ha rifiutato la connessione.";
            throw new Exception(msg);
        }
        if (!ftpClient.login("username", "pwd")) {
            String msg = "Il server ftp ha rifiutato il login con username:  username  e pwd:  password  .";
            ftpClient.disconnect();
            throw new Exception(msg);
        }


        ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
        ftpClient.setDataTimeout(60000);
        ftpClient.execPBSZ(0); // Set protection buffer size
        ftpClient.execPROT("P"); // Set data channel protection to private
        int bufSize = 1024 * 1024; // 1MB
        ftpClient.setBufferSize(bufSize);
        out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(bufSize);
        ftpClient.retrieveFile("remoteFileName", out);
        out.toByteArray();
    }
    finally {
        if (out != null) {
            out.close();
        }
        ftpClient.disconnect();

    }

}

}

Threads vs Processes in Linux

Once upon a time there was Unix and in this good old Unix there was lots of overhead for processes, so what some clever people did was to create threads, which would share the same address space with the parent process and they only needed a reduced context switch, which would make the context switch more efficient.

In a contemporary Linux (2.6.x) there is not much difference in performance between a context switch of a process compared to a thread (only the MMU stuff is additional for the thread). There is the issue with the shared address space, which means that a faulty pointer in a thread can corrupt memory of the parent process or another thread within the same address space.

A process is protected by the MMU, so a faulty pointer will just cause a signal 11 and no corruption.

I would in general use processes (not much context switch overhead in Linux, but memory protection due to MMU), but pthreads if I would need a real-time scheduler class, which is a different cup of tea all together.

Why do you think threads are have such a big performance gain on Linux? Do you have any data for this, or is it just a myth?

How to write a multidimensional array to a text file?

ndarray.tofile() should also work

e.g. if your array is called a:

a.tofile('yourfile.txt',sep=" ",format="%s")

Not sure how to get newline formatting though.

Edit (credit Kevin J. Black's comment here):

Since version 1.5.0, np.tofile() takes an optional parameter newline='\n' to allow multi-line output. https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.13.0/reference/generated/numpy.savetxt.html

NPM: npm-cli.js not found when running npm

Regex match text between tags

/<b>(.*?)<\/b>/g

Regular expression visualization

Add g (global) flag after:

/<b>(.*?)<\/b>/g.exec(str)
             //^-----here it is 

However if you want to get all matched elements, then you need something like this:

var str = "<b>Bob</b>, I'm <b>20</b> years old, I like <b>programming</b>.";

var result = str.match(/<b>(.*?)<\/b>/g).map(function(val){
   return val.replace(/<\/?b>/g,'');
});
//result -> ["Bob", "20", "programming"] 

If an element has attributes, regexp will be:

/<b [^>]+>(.*?)<\/b>/g.exec(str)

How to redirect cin and cout to files?

If your input file is in.txt, you can use freopen to set stdin file as in.txt

freopen("in.txt","r",stdin);

if you want to do the same with your output:

freopen("out.txt","w",stdout);

this will work for std::cin (if using c++), printf, etc...

This will also help you in debugging your code in clion, vscode

Print all day-dates between two dates

Essentially the same as Gringo Suave's answer, but with a generator:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta


def datetime_range(start=None, end=None):
    span = end - start
    for i in xrange(span.days + 1):
        yield start + timedelta(days=i)

Then you can use it as follows:

In: list(datetime_range(start=datetime(2014, 1, 1), end=datetime(2014, 1, 5)))
Out: 
[datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 1, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 2, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 3, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 4, 0, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 5, 0, 0)]

Or like this:

In []: for date in datetime_range(start=datetime(2014, 1, 1), end=datetime(2014, 1, 5)):
   ...:     print date
   ...:     
2014-01-01 00:00:00
2014-01-02 00:00:00
2014-01-03 00:00:00
2014-01-04 00:00:00
2014-01-05 00:00:00

Java sending and receiving file (byte[]) over sockets

The correct way to copy a stream in Java is as follows:

int count;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192]; // or 4096, or more
while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
{
  out.write(buffer, 0, count);
}

Wish I had a dollar for every time I've posted that in a forum.

ASP.NET: HTTP Error 500.19 – Internal Server Error 0x8007000d

When trying to set up a .NET Core 1.0 website I got this error, and tried everything else I could find with no luck, including checking the web.config file, IIS_IUSRS permissions, IIS URL rewrite module, etc. In the end, I installed DotNetCore.1.0.0-WindowsHosting.exe from this page: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download and it started working right away.

Why am I getting an error "Object literal may only specify known properties"?

As of TypeScript 1.6, properties in object literals that do not have a corresponding property in the type they're being assigned to are flagged as errors.

Usually this error means you have a bug (typically a typo) in your code, or in the definition file. The right fix in this case would be to fix the typo. In the question, the property callbackOnLoactionHash is incorrect and should have been callbackOnLocationHash (note the mis-spelling of "Location").

This change also required some updates in definition files, so you should get the latest version of the .d.ts for any libraries you're using.

Example:

interface TextOptions {
    alignment?: string;
    color?: string;
    padding?: number;
}
function drawText(opts: TextOptions) { ... }
drawText({ align: 'center' }); // Error, no property 'align' in 'TextOptions'

But I meant to do that

There are a few cases where you may have intended to have extra properties in your object. Depending on what you're doing, there are several appropriate fixes

Type-checking only some properties

Sometimes you want to make sure a few things are present and of the correct type, but intend to have extra properties for whatever reason. Type assertions (<T>v or v as T) do not check for extra properties, so you can use them in place of a type annotation:

interface Options {
    x?: string;
    y?: number;
}

// Error, no property 'z' in 'Options'
let q1: Options = { x: 'foo', y: 32, z: 100 };
// OK
let q2 = { x: 'foo', y: 32, z: 100 } as Options;
// Still an error (good):
let q3 = { x: 100, y: 32, z: 100 } as Options;

These properties and maybe more

Some APIs take an object and dynamically iterate over its keys, but have 'special' keys that need to be of a certain type. Adding a string indexer to the type will disable extra property checking

Before

interface Model {
  name: string;
}
function createModel(x: Model) { ... }

// Error
createModel({name: 'hello', length: 100});

After

interface Model {
  name: string;
  [others: string]: any;
}
function createModel(x: Model) { ... }

// OK
createModel({name: 'hello', length: 100});

This is a dog or a cat or a horse, not sure yet

interface Animal { move; }
interface Dog extends Animal { woof; }
interface Cat extends Animal { meow; }
interface Horse extends Animal { neigh; }

let x: Animal;
if(...) {
  x = { move: 'doggy paddle', woof: 'bark' };
} else if(...) {
  x = { move: 'catwalk', meow: 'mrar' };
} else {
  x = { move: 'gallop', neigh: 'wilbur' };
}

Two good solutions come to mind here

Specify a closed set for x

// Removes all errors
let x: Dog|Cat|Horse;

or Type assert each thing

// For each initialization
  x = { move: 'doggy paddle', woof: 'bark' } as Dog;

This type is sometimes open and sometimes not

A clean solution to the "data model" problem using intersection types:

interface DataModelOptions {
  name?: string;
  id?: number;
}
interface UserProperties {
  [key: string]: any;
}
function createDataModel(model: DataModelOptions & UserProperties) {
 /* ... */
}
// findDataModel can only look up by name or id
function findDataModel(model: DataModelOptions) {
 /* ... */
}
// OK
createDataModel({name: 'my model', favoriteAnimal: 'cat' });
// Error, 'ID' is not correct (should be 'id')
findDataModel({ ID: 32 });

When to Redis? When to MongoDB?

I just noticed that this question is quite old. Nevertheless, I consider the following aspects to be worth adding:

  • Use MongoDB if you don't know yet how you're going to query your data.

    MongoDB is suited for Hackathons, startups or every time you don't know how you'll query the data you inserted. MongoDB does not make any assumptions on your underlying schema. While MongoDB is schemaless and non-relational, this does not mean that there is no schema at all. It simply means that your schema needs to be defined in your app (e.g. using Mongoose). Besides that, MongoDB is great for prototyping or trying things out. Its performance is not that great and can't be compared to Redis.

  • Use Redis in order to speed up your existing application.

    Redis can be easily integrated as a LRU cache. It is very uncommon to use Redis as a standalone database system (some people prefer referring to it as a "key-value"-store). Websites like Craigslist use Redis next to their primary database. Antirez (developer of Redis) demonstrated using Lamernews that it is indeed possible to use Redis as a stand alone database system.

  • Redis does not make any assumptions based on your data.

    Redis provides a bunch of useful data structures (e.g. Sets, Hashes, Lists), but you have to explicitly define how you want to store you data. To put it in a nutshell, Redis and MongoDB can be used in order to achieve similar things. Redis is simply faster, but not suited for prototyping. That's one use case where you would typically prefer MongoDB. Besides that, Redis is really flexible. The underlying data structures it provides are the building blocks of high-performance DB systems.

When to use Redis?

  • Caching

    Caching using MongoDB simply doesn't make a lot of sense. It would be too slow.

  • If you have enough time to think about your DB design.

    You can't simply throw in your documents into Redis. You have to think of the way you in which you want to store and organize your data. One example are hashes in Redis. They are quite different from "traditional", nested objects, which means you'll have to rethink the way you store nested documents. One solution would be to store a reference inside the hash to another hash (something like key: [id of second hash]). Another idea would be to store it as JSON, which seems counter-intuitive to most people with a *SQL-background.

  • If you need really high performance.

    Beating the performance Redis provides is nearly impossible. Imagine you database being as fast as your cache. That's what it feels like using Redis as a real database.

  • If you don't care that much about scaling.

    Scaling Redis is not as hard as it used to be. For instance, you could use a kind of proxy server in order to distribute the data among multiple Redis instances. Master-slave replication is not that complicated, but distributing you keys among multiple Redis-instances needs to be done on the application site (e.g. using a hash-function, Modulo etc.). Scaling MongoDB by comparison is much simpler.

When to use MongoDB

  • Prototyping, Startups, Hackathons

    MongoDB is perfectly suited for rapid prototyping. Nevertheless, performance isn't that good. Also keep in mind that you'll most likely have to define some sort of schema in your application.

  • When you need to change your schema quickly.

    Because there is no schema! Altering tables in traditional, relational DBMS is painfully expensive and slow. MongoDB solves this problem by not making a lot of assumptions on your underlying data. Nevertheless, it tries to optimize as far as possible without requiring you to define a schema.

TL;DR - Use Redis if performance is important and you are willing to spend time optimizing and organizing your data. - Use MongoDB if you need to build a prototype without worrying too much about your DB.

How to add button in ActionBar(Android)?

An activity populates the ActionBar in its onCreateOptionsMenu() method.

Instead of using setcustomview(), just override onCreateOptionsMenu like this:

@Override    
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
  inflater.inflate(R.menu.mainmenu, menu);
  return true;
}

If an actions in the ActionBar is selected, the onOptionsItemSelected() method is called. It receives the selected action as parameter. Based on this information you code can decide what to do for example:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.menuitem1:
      Toast.makeText(this, "Menu Item 1 selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      break;
    case R.id.menuitem2:
      Toast.makeText(this, "Menu item 2 selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      break;
  }
  return true;
}

Overlaying a DIV On Top Of HTML 5 Video

Here is a stripped down example, using as little HTML markup as possible.

The Basics

  • The overlay is provided by the :before pseudo element on the .content container.

  • No z-index is required, :before is naturally layered over the video element.

  • The .content container is position: relative so that the position: absolute overlay is positioned in relation to it.

  • The overlay is stretched to cover the entire .content div width with left / right / bottom and left set to 0.

  • The width of the video is controlled by the width of its container with width: 100%

The Demo

_x000D_
_x000D_
.content {
  position: relative;
  width: 500px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
}
.content video {
  width: 100%;
  display: block;
}
.content:before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
  border-radius: 5px;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
}

Regular Expression for matching parentheses

  • You can escape any meta-character by using a backslash, so you can match ( with the pattern \(.
  • Many languages come with a build-in escaping function, for example, .Net's Regex.Escape or Java's Pattern.quote
  • Some flavors support \Q and \E, with literal text between them.
  • Some flavors (VIM, for example) match ( literally, and require \( for capturing groups.

Can I use return value of INSERT...RETURNING in another INSERT?

In line with the answer given by Denis de Bernardy..

If you want id to be returned afterwards as well and want to insert more things into Table2:

with rows as (
INSERT INTO Table1 (name) VALUES ('a_title') RETURNING id
)
INSERT INTO Table2 (val, val2, val3)
SELECT id, 'val2value', 'val3value'
FROM rows
RETURNING val

Run jQuery function onclick

Why do you need to attach it to the HTML? Just bind the function with hover

$("div.system_box").hover(function(){ mousin }, 
                          function() { mouseout });

If you do insist to have JS references inside the html, which is usualy a bad idea you can use:

onmouseover="yourJavaScriptCode()"

after topic edit:

<div class="system_box" data-target="sms_box">

...

$("div.system_box").click(function(){ slideonlyone($(this).attr("data-target")); });

How do I Alter Table Column datatype on more than 1 column?

ALTER TABLE can do multiple table alterations in one statement, but MODIFY COLUMN can only work on one column at a time, so you need to specify MODIFY COLUMN for each column you want to change:

ALTER TABLE webstore.Store
  MODIFY COLUMN ShortName VARCHAR(100),
  MODIFY COLUMN UrlShort VARCHAR(100);

Also, note this warning from the manual:

When you use CHANGE or MODIFY, column_definition must include the data type and all attributes that should apply to the new column, other than index attributes such as PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE. Attributes present in the original definition but not specified for the new definition are not carried forward.

Select all where [first letter starts with B]

This will work for MYSQL

SELECT Name FROM Employees WHERE Name REGEXP '^[B].*$'

In this REGEXP stands for regular expression

and

this is for T-SQL

SELECT Name FROM Employees WHERE Name LIKE '[B]%'

Running a simple shell script as a cronjob

What directory is file.txt in? cron runs jobs in your home directory, so unless your script cds somewhere else, that's where it's going to look for/create file.txt.

EDIT: When you refer to a file without specifying its full path (e.g. file.txt, as opposed to the full path /home/myUser/scripts/file.txt) in shell, it's taken that you're referring to a file in your current working directory. When you run a script (whether interactively or via crontab), the script's working directory has nothing at all to do with the location of the script itself; instead, it's inherited from whatever ran the script.

Thus, if you cd (change working directory) to the directory the script's in and then run it, file.txt will refer to a file in the same directory as the script. But if you don't cd there first, file.txt will refer to a file in whatever directory you happen to be in when you ran the script. For instance, if your home directory is /home/myUser, and you open a new shell and immediately run the script (as scripts/test.sh or /home/myUser/scripts/test.sh; ./test.sh won't work), it'll touch the file /home/myUser/file.txt because /home/myUser is your current working directory (and therefore the script's).

When you run a script from cron, it does essentially the same thing: it runs it with the working directory set to your home directory. Thus all file references in the script are taken relative to your home directory, unless the script cds somewhere else or specifies an absolute path to the file.

How to use vim in the terminal?

Run vim from the terminal. For the basics, you're advised to run the command vimtutor.

# On your terminal command line:
$ vim

If you have a specific file to edit, pass it as an argument.

$ vim yourfile.cpp

Likewise, launch the tutorial

$ vimtutor

How to prevent default event handling in an onclick method?

It would be too tedious to alter function usages in all html pages to return false.

So here is a tested solution that patches only the function itself:

function callmymethod(myVal) {
    // doing custom things with myVal

    // cancel default event action
    var event = window.event || callmymethod.caller.arguments[0];
    event.preventDefault ? event.preventDefault() : (event.returnValue = false);

    return false;
}    

This correctly prevents IE6, IE11 and latest Chrome from visiting href="#" after onclick event handler completes.

MVC controller : get JSON object from HTTP body?

you can get the json string as a param of your ActionResult and afterwards serialize it using JSON.Net

HERE an example is being shown


in order to receive it in the serialized form as a param of the controller action you must either write a custom model binder or a Action filter (OnActionExecuting) so that the json string is serialized into the model of your liking and is available inside the controller body for use.


HERE is an implementation using the dynamic object

Using a Python subprocess call to invoke a Python script

First, check if somescript.py is executable and starts with something along the lines of #!/usr/bin/python. If this is done, then you can use subprocess.call('./somescript.py').

Or as another answer points out, you could do subprocess.call(['python', 'somescript.py']).

Make anchor link go some pixels above where it's linked to

I know this is a bit late, but I found something very important to put in your code if you are using Bootstrap's Scrollspy. (http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#scrollspy)

This was driving me nuts for hours.

The offset for scroll spy MUST match the window.scrollY or else you'll run the risk of:

  1. Getting a weird flicker effect when scrolling
  2. Youll find that when you click on anchors, youll land in that section, but scroll spy will assume you are a section above it.

    body.scrollspy({_x000D_
        'target': '#nav',_x000D_
        'offset': 100 //this must match the window.scrollY below or you'll have a bad time mmkay_x000D_
