Can clearInterval() be called inside setInterval()?

Yes you can. You can even test it:

_x000D_

var i = 0;_x000D_
var timer = setInterval(function() {_x000D_
  console.log(++i);_x000D_
  if (i === 5) clearInterval(timer);_x000D_
  console.log('post-interval'); //this will still run after clearing_x000D_
}, 200);

_x000D_

In this example, this timer clears when i reaches 5.

Lazy Method for Reading Big File in Python?

f = ... # file-like object, i.e. supporting read(size) function and 
        # returning empty string '' when there is nothing to read

def chunked(file, chunk_size):
    return iter(lambda: file.read(chunk_size), '')

for data in chunked(f, 65536):
    # process the data

UPDATE: The approach is best explained in https://stackoverflow.com/a/4566523/38592

How can I convert tabs to spaces in every file of a directory?

The use of expand as suggested in other answers seems the most logical approach for this task alone.

That said, it can also be done with Bash and Awk in case you may want to do some other modifications along with it.

If using Bash 4.0 or greater, the shopt builtin globstar can be used to search recursively with **.

With GNU Awk version 4.1 or greater, sed like "inplace" file modifications can be made:

shopt -s globstar
gawk -i inplace '{gsub("\t","    ")}1' **/*.ext

In case you want to set the number of spaces per tab:

gawk -i inplace -v n=4 'BEGIN{for(i=1;i<=n;i++) c=c" "}{gsub("\t",c)}1' **/*.ext

Reading and displaying data from a .txt file

If your file is strictly text, I prefer to use the java.util.Scanner class.

You can create a Scanner out of a file by:

Scanner fileIn = new Scanner(new File(thePathToYourFile));

Then, you can read text from the file using the methods:

fileIn.nextLine(); // Reads one line from the file
fileIn.next(); // Reads one word from the file

And, you can check if there is any more text left with:

fileIn.hasNext(); // Returns true if there is another word in the file
fileIn.hasNextLine(); // Returns true if there is another line to read from the file

Once you have read the text, and saved it into a String, you can print the string to the command line with:

System.out.print(aString);
System.out.println(aString);

The posted link contains the full specification for the Scanner class. It will be helpful to assist you with what ever else you may want to do.

Change input value onclick button - pure javascript or jQuery

How to use stringstream to separate comma separated strings

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

std::string input = "abc,def,ghi";
std::istringstream ss(input);
std::string token;

while(std::getline(ss, token, ',')) {

VBA equivalent to Excel's mod function

Function Remainder(Dividend As Variant, Divisor As Variant) As Variant
    Remainder = Dividend - Divisor * Int(Dividend / Divisor)
End Function

This function always works and is the exact copy of the Excel function.

How to set multiple commands in one yaml file with Kubernetes?

IMHO the best option is to use YAML's native block scalars. Specifically in this case, the folded style block.

By invoking sh -c you can pass arguments to your container as commands, but if you want to elegantly separate them with newlines, you'd want to use the folded style block, so that YAML will know to convert newlines to whitespaces, effectively concatenating the commands.

A full working example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: myapp
  labels:
    app: myapp
spec:
  containers:
  - name: busy
    image: busybox:1.28
    command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
    args:
    - >
      command_1 &&
      command_2 &&
      ... 
      command_n

How to dynamically allocate memory space for a string and get that string from user?

realloc is a pretty expensive action... here's my way of receiving a string, the realloc ratio is not 1:1 :

char* getAString()
{    
    //define two indexes, one for logical size, other for physical
    int logSize = 0, phySize = 1;  
    char *res, c;

    res = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char));

    //get a char from user, first time outside the loop
    c = getchar();

    //define the condition to stop receiving data
    while(c != '\n')
    {
        if(logSize == phySize)
        {
            phySize *= 2;
            res = (char *)realloc(res, sizeof(char) * phySize);
        }
        res[logSize++] = c;
        c = getchar();
    }
    //here we diminish string to actual logical size, plus one for \0
    res = (char *)realloc(res, sizeof(char *) * (logSize + 1));
    res[logSize] = '\0';
    return res;
}

Why, Fatal error: Class 'PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase' not found in ...?

If you have Centos or other Linux distribution you have to install phpunit package, I did that with yum install phpunit and it worked. Maybe you can have to add a repository, but I think it has to work smooth with the default ones (I have CentOS 7)

Change arrow colors in Bootstraps carousel

a little example that works for me

    .carousel-control-prev,
    .carousel-control-next{

        border: 1px solid $color-white;
        background-color: $color-white;
    }

    .carousel-control-prev-icon { 
        background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf8,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' fill='%23009be1' viewBox='0 0 8 8'%3E%3Cpath d='M5.25 0l-4 4 4 4 1.5-1.5-2.5-2.5 2.5-2.5-1.5-1.5z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");

How to dynamically insert a <script> tag via jQuery after page load?

This answer is technically similar or equal to what jcoffland answered. I just added a query to detect if a script is already present or not. I need this because I work in an intranet website with a couple of modules, of which some are sharing scripts or bring their own, but these scripts do not need to be loaded everytime again. I am using this snippet since more than a year in production environment, it works like a charme. Commenting to myself: Yes I know, it would be more correct to ask if a function exists... :-)

if (!$('head > script[src="js/jquery.searchable.min.js"]').length) {
    $('head').append($('<script />').attr('src','js/jquery.searchable.min.js'));
}

How do I remove a substring from the end of a string in Python?

A broader solution, adding the possibility to replace the suffix (you can remove by replacing with the empty string) and to set the maximum number of replacements:

def replacesuffix(s,old,new='',limit=1):
    """
    String suffix replace; if the string ends with the suffix given by parameter `old`, such suffix is replaced with the string given by parameter `new`. The number of replacements is limited by parameter `limit`, unless `limit` is negative (meaning no limit).

    :param s: the input string
    :param old: the suffix to be replaced
    :param new: the replacement string. Default value the empty string (suffix is removed without replacement).
    :param limit: the maximum number of replacements allowed. Default value 1.
    :returns: the input string with a certain number (depending on parameter `limit`) of the rightmost occurrences of string given by parameter `old` replaced by string given by parameter `new`
    """
    if s[len(s)-len(old):] == old and limit != 0:
        return replacesuffix(s[:len(s)-len(old)],old,new,limit-1) + new
    else:
        return s

In your case, given the default arguments, the desired result is obtained with:

replacesuffix('abcdc.com','.com')
>>> 'abcdc'

Some more general examples:

replacesuffix('whatever-qweqweqwe','qwe','N',2)
>>> 'whatever-qweNN'

replacesuffix('whatever-qweqweqwe','qwe','N',-1)
>>> 'whatever-NNN'

replacesuffix('12.53000','0',' ',-1)
>>> '12.53   '

Running code in main thread from another thread

NOTE: This answer has gotten so much attention, that I need to update it. Since the original answer was posted, the comment from @dzeikei has gotten almost as much attention as the original answer. So here are 2 possible solutions:

1. If your background thread has a reference to a Context object:

Make sure that your background worker threads have access to a Context object (can be the Application context or the Service context). Then just do this in the background worker thread:

// Get a handler that can be used to post to the main thread
Handler mainHandler = new Handler(context.getMainLooper());

Runnable myRunnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override 
    public void run() {....} // This is your code
};
mainHandler.post(myRunnable);

2. If your background thread does not have (or need) a Context object

(suggested by @dzeikei):

// Get a handler that can be used to post to the main thread
Handler mainHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());

Runnable myRunnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override 
    public void run() {....} // This is your code
};
mainHandler.post(myRunnable);

How do I check if a given Python string is a substring of another one?

string.find("substring") will help you. This function returns -1 when there is no substring.

How to escape double quotes in JSON

Search for a string in all tables, rows and columns of a DB

To "find where the data I get comes from", you can start SQL Profiler, start your report or application, and you will see all the queries issued against your database.

How can I check if a MySQL table exists with PHP?

Or you could use

show tables where Tables_in_{insert_db_name}='tablename';

The value violated the integrity constraints for the column

It's as the error message says "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column" for column "Copy of F2"

Make it so it doesn't violate the value in the target table. What the allowable values are, data types, etc are not provided in your question so we cannot be more specific in answering.

To address the downvote, No, really it's as it says: you are putting something into a column that is not allowed. It could be Faizan points out, that you're putting a NULL into a NOT NULLable column, but it could be a whole host of other things and as the original poster never provided any update, we're left to guess. Was there a foreign key constraint that the insert violated? Maybe there's a check constraint that got blown? Maybe the source column in Excel has a valid date value for Excel that is not valid for the target column's date/time data type.

Thus, baring concrete information, the best possible answer is "don't do the thing that breaks it" In this case, something about "Copy of F2" is bad for the target column. Give us table definitions, supplied values, etc, then you can specific answers.

Telling people to make a NOT NULLable column into a NULLable one might be the right answer. It might also be the most horrific answer known to mankind. If an existing process expects there to always be a value in column "Copy of F2" changing the constraint to NULL can wreak havoc on existing queries. For example

SELECT * FROM ArbitraryTable AS T WHERE T.[Copy of F2] = '';

Currently, that query retrieves everything that was freshly imported because Copy of F2 is a poorly named status indicator. That data needs to get fed into the next system so... bills can get paid. As soon as you make it such that unprocessed rows can have a NULL value, the above query no longer satisfies that. Bills don't get paid, collections repos your building and now you're out of a job, all because you didn't do impact analysis, etc, etc.

What causes "Unable to access jarfile" error?

For me it happens if you use native Polish chars in foldername that is in the PATH. So maybe using untypical chars was the reason of the problem.

How do I pass a string into subprocess.Popen (using the stdin argument)?

On Python 3.7+ do this:

my_data = "whatever you want\nshould match this f"
subprocess.run(["grep", "f"], text=True, input=my_data)

and you'll probably want to add capture_output=True to get the output of running the command as a string.

On older versions of Python, replace text=True with universal_newlines=True:

subprocess.run(["grep", "f"], universal_newlines=True, input=my_data)

Git mergetool generates unwanted .orig files

To be clear, the correct git command is:

Probably the coolest new feature on 1.5 release.

How can I disable editing cells in a WPF Datagrid?

I see users in comments wondering how to disable cell editing while allowing row deletion : I managed to do this by setting all columns individually to read only, instead of the DataGrid itself.

<DataGrid IsReadOnly="False">

        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly="True"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn IsReadOnly="True"/>
    </DataGrid.Columns>

Changing line colors with ggplot()

color and fill are separate aesthetics. Since you want to modify the color you need to use the corresponding scale:

d + scale_color_manual(values=c("#CC6666", "#9999CC"))

is what you want.

How to subtract n days from current date in java?

this will subtract ten days of the current date (before Java 8):

int x = -10;
Calendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
cal.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, x);
Date tenDaysAgo = cal.getTime();

If you're using Java 8 you can make use of the new Date & Time API (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jf14-date-time-2125367.html):

LocalDate tenDaysAgo = LocalDate.now().minusDays(10);

For converting the new to the old types and vice versa see: Converting between java.time.LocalDateTime and java.util.Date

Python constructors and init

There is no function overloading in Python, meaning that you can't have multiple functions with the same name but different arguments.

In your code example, you're not overloading __init__(). What happens is that the second definition rebinds the name __init__ to the new method, rendering the first method inaccessible.

As to your general question about constructors, Wikipedia is a good starting point. For Python-specific stuff, I highly recommend the Python docs.

Create a 3D matrix

I use Octave, but Matlab has the same syntax.

Create 3d matrix:

octave:3> m = ones(2,3,2)
m =

ans(:,:,1) =

   1   1   1
   1   1   1

ans(:,:,2) =

   1   1   1
   1   1   1

Now, say I have a 2D matrix that I want to expand in a new dimension:

octave:4> Two_D = ones(2,3)
Two_D =
   1   1   1
   1   1   1

I can expand it by creating a 3D matrix, setting the first 2D in it to my old (here I have size two of the third dimension):

octave:11> Three_D = zeros(2,3,2)
Three_D =

ans(:,:,1) =

   0   0   0
   0   0   0

ans(:,:,2) =

   0   0   0
   0   0   0



octave:12> Three_D(:,:,1) = Two_D
Three_D =

ans(:,:,1) =

   1   1   1
   1   1   1

ans(:,:,2) =

   0   0   0
   0   0   0

How can I conditionally require form inputs with AngularJS?

C: convert double to float, preserving decimal point precision

float and double don't store decimal places. They store binary places: float is (assuming IEEE 754) 24 significant bits (7.22 decimal digits) and double is 53 significant bits (15.95 significant digits).

Converting from double to float will give you the closest possible float, so rounding won't help you. Goining the other way may give you "noise" digits in the decimal representation.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    double orig = 12345.67;
    float f = (float) orig;
    printf("%.17g\n", f); // prints 12345.669921875
    return 0;
}

To get a double approximation to the nice decimal value you intended, you can write something like:

double round_to_decimal(float f) {
    char buf[42];
    sprintf(buf, "%.7g", f); // round to 7 decimal digits
    return atof(buf);
}

Is it possible to create a File object from InputStream

You need to create new file and copy contents from InputStream to that file:

File file = //...
try(OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)){
    IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    // handle exception here
} catch (IOException e) {
    // handle exception here
}

I am using convenient IOUtils.copy() to avoid manual copying of streams. Also it has built-in buffering.

Sending mail from Python using SMTP

The main gotcha I see is that you're not handling any errors: .login() and .sendmail() both have documented exceptions that they can throw, and it seems like .connect() must have some way to indicate that it was unable to connect - probably an exception thrown by the underlying socket code.

Gradle Sync failed could not find constraint-layout:1.0.0-alpha2

Ensure you have the maven.google.com repository declared in your module-level build.gradle file

repositories { maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } }

2.Add the library as a dependency in the same build.gradle file:

dependencies {
      compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
}

Print line numbers starting at zero using awk

Another option besides awk is nl which allows for options -v for setting starting value and -n <lf,rf,rz> for left, right and right with leading zeros justified. You can also include -s for a field separator such as -s "," for comma separation between line numbers and your data.

In a Unix environment, this can be done as

cat <infile> | ...other stuff... | nl -v 0 -n rz

or simply

nl -v 0 -n rz <infile>

Example:

echo "Here 
are
some 
words" > words.txt

cat words.txt | nl -v 0 -n rz

Out:

000000      Here
000001      are
000002      some
000003      words

Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large, Scatter plot

Git copy changes from one branch to another

Instead of merge, as others suggested, you can rebase one branch onto another:

git checkout BranchB
git rebase BranchA

This takes BranchB and rebases it onto BranchA, which effectively looks like BranchB was branched from BranchA, not master.

Sorted array list in Java

Since the currently proposed implementations which do implement a sorted list by breaking the Collection API, have an own implementation of a tree or something similar, I was curios how an implementation based on the TreeMap would perform. (Especialy since the TreeSet does base on TreeMap, too)

If someone is interested in that, too, he or she can feel free to look into it:

TreeList

Its part of the core library, you can add it via Maven dependency of course. (Apache License)

Currently the implementation seems to compare quite well on the same level than the guava SortedMultiSet and to the TreeList of the Apache Commons library.

But I would be happy if more than only me would test the implementation to be sure I did not miss something important.

Best regards!

ReactJS - Get Height of an element

See this fiddle (actually updated your's)

You need to hook into componentDidMount which is run after render method. There, you get actual height of element.

var DivSize = React.createClass({
    getInitialState() {
    return { state: 0 };
  },

  componentDidMount() {
    const height = document.getElementById('container').clientHeight;
    this.setState({ height });
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
        <div className="test">
        Size: <b>{this.state.height}px</b> but it should be 18px after the render
      </div>
    );
  }
});

ReactDOM.render(
  <DivSize />,
  document.getElementById('container')
);

<script src="https://facebook.github.io/react/js/jsfiddle-integration-babel.js"></script>

<div id="container">

How to find the extension of a file in C#?

Path.GetExtension

string myFilePath = @"C:\MyFile.txt";
string ext = Path.GetExtension(myFilePath);
// ext would be ".txt"

The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead

Why is this happening?

The entire ext/mysql PHP extension, which provides all functions named with the prefix mysql_, was officially deprecated in PHP v5.5.0 and removed in PHP v7.

It was originally introduced in PHP v2.0 (November 1997) for MySQL v3.20, and no new features have been added since 2006. Coupled with the lack of new features are difficulties in maintaining such old code amidst complex security vulnerabilities.

The manual has contained warnings against its use in new code since June 2011.
How can I fix it?

As the error message suggests, there are two other MySQL extensions that you can consider: MySQLi and PDO_MySQL, either of which can be used instead of ext/mysql. Both have been in PHP core since v5.0, so if you're using a version that is throwing these deprecation errors then you can almost certainly just start using them right away—i.e. without any installation effort.

They differ slightly, but offer a number of advantages over the old extension including API support for transactions, stored procedures and prepared statements (thereby providing the best way to defeat SQL injection attacks). PHP developer Ulf Wendel has written a thorough comparison of the features.

Hashphp.org has an excellent tutorial on migrating from ext/mysql to PDO.
I understand that it's possible to suppress deprecation errors by setting error_reporting in php.ini to exclude E_DEPRECATED:
```
error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED
```
What will happen if I do that?
Yes, it is possible to suppress such error messages and continue using the old ext/mysql extension for the time being. But you really shouldn't do this—this is a final warning from the developers that the extension may not be bundled with future versions of PHP (indeed, as already mentioned, it has been removed from PHP v7). Instead, you should take this opportunity to migrate your application now, before it's too late.

Note also that this technique will suppress all E_DEPRECATED messages, not just those to do with the ext/mysql extension: therefore you may be unaware of other upcoming changes to PHP that would affect your application code. It is, of course, possible to only suppress errors that arise on the expression at issue by using PHP's error control operator—i.e. prepending the relevant line with @—however this will suppress all errors raised by that expression, not just E_DEPRECATED ones.

What should you do?

You are starting a new project.

There is absolutely no reason to use ext/mysql—choose one of the other, more modern, extensions instead and reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.
You have (your own) legacy codebase that currently depends upon ext/mysql.

It would be wise to perform regression testing: you really shouldn't be changing anything (especially upgrading PHP) until you have identified all of the potential areas of impact, planned around each of them and then thoroughly tested your solution in a staging environment.
- Following good coding practice, your application was developed in a loosely integrated/modular fashion and the database access methods are all self-contained in one place that can easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.
  
  Spend half an hour rewriting this module to use one of the other, more modern, extensions; test thoroughly. You can later introduce further refinements to reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.
- The database access methods are scattered all over the place and cannot easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.
  
  Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.
  
  You should begin planning to replace ext/mysql with one of the other, more modern, extensions in order that you can reap the rewards of the benefits they offer; you might also use it as an opportunity to refactor your database access methods into a more modular structure.
  
  However, if you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.
You are using a third party project that depends upon ext/mysql.

Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.

Check whether the developer has released any fixes, workarounds or guidance in relation to this specific issue; or, if not, pressure them to do so by bringing this matter to their attention. If you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.

It is absolutely essential to perform regression testing.

Using NULL in C++?

I never use NULL in my C or C++ code. 0 works just fine, as does if (ptrname). Any competent C or C++ programmer should know what those do.

Sticky and NON-Sticky sessions

When your website is served by only one web server, for each client-server pair, a session object is created and remains in the memory of the web server. All the requests from the client go to this web server and update this session object. If some data needs to be stored in the session object over the period of interaction, it is stored in this session object and stays there as long as the session exists.

However, if your website is served by multiple web servers which sit behind a load balancer, the load balancer decides which actual (physical) web-server should each request go to. For example, if there are 3 web servers A, B and C behind the load balancer, it is possible that www.mywebsite.com/index.jsp is served from server A, www.mywebsite.com/login.jsp is served from server B and www.mywebsite.com/accoutdetails.php are served from server C.

Now, if the requests are being served from (physically) 3 different servers, each server has created a session object for you and because these session objects sit on three independent boxes, there's no direct way of one knowing what is there in the session object of the other. In order to synchronize between these server sessions, you may have to write/read the session data into a layer which is common to all - like a DB. Now writing and reading data to/from a db for this use-case may not be a good idea. Now, here comes the role of sticky-session.

If the load balancer is instructed to use sticky sessions, all of your interactions will happen with the same physical server, even though other servers are present. Thus, your session object will be the same throughout your entire interaction with this website.

To summarize, In case of Sticky Sessions, all your requests will be directed to the same physical web server while in case of a non-sticky loadbalancer may choose any webserver to serve your requests.

As an example, you may read about Amazon's Elastic Load Balancer and sticky sessions here : http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/04/new-elastic-load-balancing-feature-sticky-sessions.html

View a file in a different Git branch without changing branches

If you're using Emacs, you can type C-x v ~ to see a different revision of the file you're currently editing (tags, branches and hashes all work).

CMake link to external library

arrowdodger's answer is correct and preferred on many occasions. I would simply like to add an alternative to his answer:

You could add an "imported" library target, instead of a link-directory. Something like:

# Your-external "mylib", add GLOBAL if the imported library is located in directories above the current.
add_library( mylib SHARED IMPORTED )
# You can define two import-locations: one for debug and one for release.
set_target_properties( mylib PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/res/mylib.so )

And then link as if this library was built by your project:

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(GLBall mylib)

Such an approach would give you a little more flexibility: Take a look at the add_library( ) command and the many target-properties related to imported libraries.

I do not know if this will solve your problem with "updated versions of libs".

How can I validate a string to only allow alphanumeric characters in it?

While there are many ways to skin this cat, I prefer to wrap such code into reusable extension methods that make it trivial to do going forward. When using extension methods, you can also avoid RegEx as it is slower than a direct character check. I like using the extensions in the Extensions.cs NuGet package. It makes this check as simple as:

Add the https://www.nuget.org/packages/Extensions.cs package to your project.
Add "using Extensions;" to the top of your code.
"smith23".IsAlphaNumeric() will return True whereas "smith 23".IsAlphaNumeric(false) will return False. By default the .IsAlphaNumeric() method ignores spaces, but it can also be overridden as shown above. If you want to allow spaces such that "smith 23".IsAlphaNumeric() will return True, simple default the arg.
Every other check in the rest of the code is simply MyString.IsAlphaNumeric().

How to read the last row with SQL Server

Try this

Updating PartialView mvc 4

So, say you have your View with PartialView, which have to be updated by button click:

<div class="target">
    @{ Html.RenderAction("UpdatePoints");}
</div>

<input class="button" value="update" />

There are some ways to do it. For example you may use jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){    
        $('.button').on("click", function(){        
            $.post('@Url.Action("PostActionToUpdatePoints", "Home")').always(function(){
                $('.target').load('/Home/UpdatePoints');        
            })        
        });
    });        
</script>

PostActionToUpdatePoints is your Action with [HttpPost] attribute, which you use to update points

If you use logic in your action UpdatePoints() to update points, maybe you forgot to add [HttpPost] attribute to it:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdatePoints()
{    
    ViewBag.points =  _Repository.Points;
    return PartialView("UpdatePoints");
}

How to read file with space separated values in pandas

How to split a file into equal parts, without breaking individual lines?

The script isn't even necessary, split(1) supports the wanted feature out of the box:
split -l 75 auth.log auth.log. The above command splits the file in chunks of 75 lines a piece, and outputs file on the form: auth.log.aa, auth.log.ab, ...

wc -l on the original file and output gives:

  321 auth.log
   75 auth.log.aa
   75 auth.log.ab
   75 auth.log.ac
   75 auth.log.ad
   21 auth.log.ae

How can I change the color of AlertDialog title and the color of the line under it

Divider color:

It is a hack a bit, but it works great for me and it works without any external library (at least on Android 4.4).

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setTitle(R.string.dialog)
       .setIcon(R.drawable.ic)
       .setMessage(R.string.dialog_msg);
//The tricky part
Dialog d = builder.show();
int dividerId = d.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/titleDivider", null, null);
View divider = d.findViewById(dividerId);
divider.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.my_color));

You can find more dialog's ids in alert_dialog.xml file. Eg. android:id/alertTitle for changing title color...

UPDATE: Title color

Hack for changing title color:

int textViewId = d.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/alertTitle", null, null);
TextView tv = (TextView) d.findViewById(textViewId);
tv.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.my_color));

Importing a GitHub project into Eclipse

It can be done in two ways:

1.Use clone Git

2.You can set it up manually by rearranging folders given in it. make a two separate folder 'src' and 'res' and place appropriate classes and xml file given by library. and then import project from eclipse and make it as library, that's it.

How do I assign a port mapping to an existing Docker container?

If you are not comfortable with Docker depth configuration, iptables would be your friend.

iptables -t nat -A DOCKER -p tcp --dport ${YOURPORT} -j DNAT --to-destination ${CONTAINERIP}:${YOURPORT}

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -p tcp --source ${CONTAINERIP} --destination ${CONTAINERIP} --dport ${YOURPORT}

iptables -A DOCKER -j ACCEPT -p tcp --destination ${CONTAINERIP} --dport ${YOURPORT}

This is just a trick, not a recommended way. This works with my scenario because I could not stop the container.

Java converting int to hex and back again

Try using BigInteger class, it works.

int Val=-32768;
String Hex=Integer.toHexString(Val);

//int FirstAttempt=Integer.parseInt(Hex,16); // Error "Invalid Int"
//int SecondAttempt=Integer.decode("0x"+Hex);  // Error "Invalid Int"
BigInteger i = new BigInteger(Hex,16);
System.out.println(i.intValue());

Bootstrap 3: How do you align column content to bottom of row

You can use display: table-cell and vertical-align: bottom, on the 2 columns that you want to be aligned bottom, like so:

.bottom-column
{
    float: none;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: bottom;
}

Working example here.

Also, this might be a possible duplicate question.

Equivalent of SQL ISNULL in LINQ?

        from aa in DevInfo.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new
        {
        AssetID = x.AssetID,
        Status = xx.Online ?? false
        };

Where can I find the TypeScript version installed in Visual Studio?

Two years after the question was asked, using Visual Studio Command Prompt still did not produce right answer for me. But the usual Help|About window seems working these days:

UPDATE (June 2017):

VS 2013 does NOT show this info. (Later note: VS 2017 Enterprise edition does not show this info either).
VS uses Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) to compile Typescript files. MSBuild can support several major releases of Typescript, but About window shows only the latest one.

Here is how to get to the bottom of it:

A. To check which versions of Typescript are installed with your Visual Studio/MSBuild, inspect contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript folder. For example, I have versions 1.0, 1.8 and 2.2:

B. Check which version of Typescript is requested by your project. In *.csproj file, look for <TypeScriptToolsVersion> tag, or you can add it if it is missing, like this



    <PropertyGroup> 
        ...
        <TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.8</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
        ...
    </PropertyGroup>

C. Finally, you can check, which version of Typescript is actually used by MSBuild. In TOOLS | Options | Projects and Solutions | Build and Run set MSBuild project output verbosity to Detailed:

Then build your project and inspect the output: you should see the reference to one of Typescript folders described in (A).

Creating a search form in PHP to search a database?

try this out let me know what happens.

Form:

<form action="form.php" method="post"> 
Search: <input type="text" name="term" /><br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /> 
</form>

Form.php:

$term = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['term']);    

$sql = "SELECT * FROM liam WHERE Description LIKE '%".$term."%'";
$r_query = mysql_query($sql);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r_query)){ 
echo 'Primary key: ' .$row['PRIMARYKEY']; 
echo '<br /> Code: ' .$row['Code']; 
echo '<br /> Description: '.$row['Description']; 
echo '<br /> Category: '.$row['Category']; 
echo '<br /> Cut Size: '.$row['CutSize'];  
}

Edit: Cleaned it up a little more.

Final Cut (my test file):

<?php
$db_hostname = 'localhost';
$db_username = 'demo';
$db_password = 'demo';
$db_database = 'demo';

// Database Connection String
$con = mysql_connect($db_hostname,$db_username,$db_password);
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db($db_database, $con);
?>

<?php
if (!empty($_REQUEST['term'])) {

$term = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['term']);     

$sql = "SELECT * FROM liam WHERE Description LIKE '%".$term."%'"; 
$r_query = mysql_query($sql); 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r_query)){

Using Html.ActionLink to call action on different controller

I would recommend writing these helpers using named parameters for the sake of clarity as follows:

@Html.ActionLink(
    linkText: "Details",
    actionName: "Details",
    controllerName: "Product",
    routeValues: new {
        id = item.ID
    },
    htmlAttributes: null
)

How to check if another instance of the application is running

Want some serious code? Here it is.

var exists = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)).Count() > 1;

This works for any application (any name) and will become true if there is another instance running of the same application.

Edit: To fix your needs you can use either of these:

if (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)).Count() > 1) return;

from your Main method to quit the method... OR

if (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)).Count() > 1) System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();

which will kill the currently loading process instantly.

You need to add a reference to System.Core.dll for the .Count() extension method. Alternatively, you can use the .Length property.

What is the difference between "Form Controls" and "ActiveX Control" in Excel 2010?

Google is full of information on this. As Hans Passant said, Form controls are built in to Excel whereas ActiveX controls are loaded separately.

Generally you'll use Forms controls, they're simpler. ActiveX controls allow for more flexible design and should be used when the job just can't be done with a basic Forms control.

Many user's computers by default won't trust ActiveX, and it will be disabled; this sometimes needs to be manually added to the trust center. ActiveX is a microsoft-based technology and, as far as I'm aware, is not supported on the Mac. This is something you'll have to also consider, should you (or anyone you provide a workbook to) decide to use it on a Mac.

How can I label points in this scatterplot?

I have tried directlabels package for putting text labels. In the case of scatter plots it's not still perfect, but much better than manually adjusting the positions, specially in the cases that you are preparing the draft plots and not the final one - so you need to change and make plot again and again -.

or in your form:

jXPanel6.setVisible(jXPanel6.isVisible()?true:false);

What exactly is the 'react-scripts start' command?

As Sagiv b.g. pointed out, the npm start command is a shortcut for npm run start. I just wanted to add a real-life example to clarify it a bit more.

The setup below comes from the create-react-app github repo. The package.json defines a bunch of scripts which define the actual flow.

"scripts": {
  "start": "npm-run-all -p watch-css start-js",
  "build": "npm run build-css && react-scripts build",
  "watch-css": "npm run build-css && node-sass-chokidar --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/ --watch --recursive",
  "build-css": "node-sass-chokidar --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/",
  "start-js": "react-scripts start"
},

For clarity, I added a diagram.

The blue boxes are references to scripts, all of which you could executed directly with an npm run <script-name> command. But as you can see, actually there are only 2 practical flows:

npm run start
npm run build

The grey boxes are commands which can be executed from the command line.

So, for instance, if you run npm start (or npm run start) that actually translate to the npm-run-all -p watch-css start-js command, which is executed from the commandline.

In my case, I have this special npm-run-all command, which is a popular plugin that searches for scripts that start with "build:", and executes all of those. I actually don't have any that match that pattern. But it can also be used to run multiple commands in parallel, which it does here, using the -p <command1> <command2> switch. So, here it executes 2 scripts, i.e. watch-css and start-js. (Those last mentioned scripts are watchers which monitor file changes, and will only finish when killed.)

The watch-css makes sure that the *.scss files are translated to *.cssfiles, and looks for future updates.
The start-js points to the react-scripts start which hosts the website in a development mode.

In conclusion, the npm start command is configurable. If you want to know what it does, then you have to check the package.json file. (and you may want to make a little diagram when things get complicated).

No line-break after a hyphen

Late to the party, but I think this is actually the most elegant. Use the WORD JOINER Unicode character ⁠ on either side of your hyphen, or em dash, or any character.

So, like so:

&#8288;—&#8288;

This will join the symbol on both ends to its neighbors (without adding a space) and prevent line breaking.

Easiest way to split a string on newlines in .NET?

I did not know about Environment.Newline, but I guess this is a very good solution.

My try would have been:

        string str = "Test Me\r\nTest Me\nTest Me";
        var splitted = str.Split('\n').Select(s => s.Trim()).ToArray();

The additional .Trim removes any \r or \n that might be still present (e. g. when on windows but splitting a string with os x newline characters). Probably not the fastest method though.

EDIT:

As the comments correctly pointed out, this also removes any whitespace at the start of the line or before the new line feed. If you need to preserve that whitespace, use one of the other options.

Check if all values in list are greater than a certain number

...any reason why you can't use min()?

    else:
        print "Not all values are equal or above", minimum

I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but technically, this is what you asked for...

Should a RESTful 'PUT' operation return something

The HTTP specification (RFC 2616) has a number of recommendations that are applicable. Here is my interpretation:

HTTP status code 200 OK for a successful PUT of an update to an existing resource. No response body needed. (Per Section 9.6, 204 No Content is even more appropriate.)
HTTP status code 201 Created for a successful PUT of a new resource, with the most specific URI for the new resource returned in the Location header field and any other relevant URIs and metadata of the resource echoed in the response body. (RFC 2616 Section 10.2.2)
HTTP status code 409 Conflict for a PUT that is unsuccessful due to a 3^rd-party modification, with a list of differences between the attempted update and the current resource in the response body. (RFC 2616 Section 10.4.10)
HTTP status code 400 Bad Request for an unsuccessful PUT, with natural-language text (such as English) in the response body that explains why the PUT failed. (RFC 2616 Section 10.4)

How to get jSON response into variable from a jquery script

Your PHP array is defined as:

$arr = array ('resonse'=>'error','comment'=>'test comment here');

Notice the mispelling "resonse". Also, as RaYell has mentioned, you have to use data instead of json in your success function because its parameter is currently data.

Try editing your PHP file to change the spelling form resonse to response. It should work then.

How to use "not" in xpath?

you can use not(expression) function

expression != true()

What use is find_package() if you need to specify CMAKE_MODULE_PATH anyway?

If you are running cmake to generate SomeLib yourself (say as part of a superbuild), consider using the User Package Registry. This requires no hard-coded paths and is cross-platform. On Windows (including mingw64) it works via the registry. If you examine how the list of installation prefixes is constructed by the CONFIG mode of the find_packages() command, you'll see that the User Package Registry is one of elements.

Brief how-to

Associate the targets of SomeLib that you need outside of that external project by adding them to an export set in the CMakeLists.txt files where they are created:

add_library(thingInSomeLib ...)
install(TARGETS thingInSomeLib Export SomeLib-export DESTINATION lib)

Create a XXXConfig.cmake file for SomeLib in its ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BUILD_DIR} and store this location in the User Package Registry by adding two calls to export() to the CMakeLists.txt associated with SomeLib:

export(EXPORT SomeLib-export NAMESPACE SomeLib:: FILE SomeLibConfig.cmake) # Create SomeLibConfig.cmake
export(PACKAGE SomeLib)                                                    # Store location of SomeLibConfig.cmake

Issue your find_package(SomeLib REQUIRED) commmand in the CMakeLists.txt file of the project that depends on SomeLib without the "non-cross-platform hard coded paths" tinkering with the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

When it might be the right approach

This approach is probably best suited for situations where you'll never use your software downstream of the build directory (e.g., you're cross-compiling and never install anything on your machine, or you're building the software just to run tests in the build directory), since it creates a link to a .cmake file in your "build" output, which may be temporary.

But if you're never actually installing SomeLib in your workflow, calling EXPORT(PACKAGE <name>) allows you to avoid the hard-coded path. And, of course, if you are installing SomeLib, you probably know your platform, CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, etc, so @user2288008's excellent answer will have you covered.

How do I tell Spring Boot which main class to use for the executable jar?

Write a file in external storage in Android

You should read the documentation on storing stuff externally on Android. There's a multitude of problems that could exist with your current code, and I think going over the documentation might help you iron them out.

How to get request url in a jQuery $.get/ajax request

Since jQuery.get is just a shorthand for jQuery.ajax, another way would be to use the latter one's context option, as stated in the documentation:

The this reference within all callbacks is the object in the context option passed to $.ajax in the settings; if context is not specified, this is a reference to the Ajax settings themselves.

So you would use

$.ajax('http://www.example.org', {
  dataType: 'xml',
  data: {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3},
  context: {
    url: 'http://www.example.org'
  }
}).done(function(xml) {alert(this.url});

How to remove the arrow from a select element in Firefox

How to detect tableView cell touched or clicked in swift

This worked good for me:

_x000D_

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {_x000D_
        print("section: \(indexPath.section)")_x000D_
        print("row: \(indexPath.row)")_x000D_
    }

_x000D_

The output should be:

section: 0
row: 0

Creating PHP class instance with a string

Lets say ClassOne is defined as:

public class ClassOne
{
    protected $arg1;
    protected $arg2;

    //Contructor
    public function __construct($arg1, $arg2)
    {
        $this->arg1 = $arg1;
        $this->arg2 = $arg2;
    }

    public function echoArgOne
    {
        echo $this->arg1;
    }

}

Using PHP Reflection;

$str = "One";
$className = "Class".$str;
$class = new \ReflectionClass($className);

Create a new Instance:

$instance = $class->newInstanceArgs(["Banana", "Apple")]);

Call a method:

$instance->echoArgOne();
//prints "Banana"

Use a variable as a method:

$method = "echoArgOne";
$instance->$method();

//prints "Banana"

Using Reflection instead of just using the raw string to create an object gives you better control over your object and easier testability (PHPUnit relies heavily on Reflection)

Why does configure say no C compiler found when GCC is installed?

Maybe gcc is not in your path? Try finding gcc using which gcc and add it to your path if it's not already there.

Java: get all variable names in a class

Field[] fields = YourClassName.class.getFields();

returns an array of all public variables of the class.

getFields() return the fields in the whole class-heirarcy. If you want to have the fields defined only in the class in question, and not its superclasses, use getDeclaredFields(), and filter the public ones with the following Modifier approach:

Modifier.isPublic(field.getModifiers());

The YourClassName.class literal actually represents an object of type java.lang.Class. Check its docs for more interesting reflection methods.

The Field class above is java.lang.reflect.Field. You may take a look at the whole java.lang.reflect package.

Is there a "not equal" operator in Python?

You can use "is not" for "not equal" or "!=". Please see the example below:

a = 2
if a == 2:
   print("true")
else:
   print("false")

The above code will print "true" as a = 2 assigned before the "if" condition. Now please see the code below for "not equal"

a = 2
if a is not 3:
   print("not equal")
else:
   print("equal")

The above code will print "not equal" as a = 2 as assigned earlier.

where does MySQL store database files?

`export const` vs. `export default` in ES6

I had the problem that the browser doesn't use ES6.

I have fix it with:

 <script type="module" src="index.js"></script>

The type module tells the browser to use ES6.

export const bla = [1,2,3];

import {bla} from './example.js';

Then it should work.

Modelling an elevator using Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Main thing to worry about is how would you notify the elevator that it needs to move up or down. and also if you are going to have a centralized class to control this behavior and how could you distribute the control.

It seems like it can be very simple or very complicated. If we don't take concurrency or the time for an elevator to get to one place, then it seems like it will be simple since we just need to check the states of elevator, like is it moving up or down, or standing still. But if we make Elevator implement Runnable, and constantly check and synchronize a queue (linkedList). A Controller class will assign which floor to go in the queue. When the queue is empty, the run() method will wait (queue.wait() ), when a floor is assigned to this elevator, it will call queue.notify() to wake up the run() method, and run() method will call goToFloor(queue.pop()). This will make the problem too complicated. I tried to write it on paper, but dont think it works. It seems like we don't really need to take concurrency or timing issue into account here, but we do need to somehow use a queue to distribute the control.

Any suggestion?

Efficiently getting all divisors of a given number

for( int i = 1; i * i <= num; i++ )
{
/* upto sqrt is because every divisor after sqrt
    is also found when the number is divided by i.
   EXAMPLE like if number is 90 when it is divided by 5
    then you can also see that 90/5 = 18
    where 18 also divides the number.
   But when number is a perfect square
    then num / i == i therefore only i is the factor

How to split data into trainset and testset randomly?

Well first of all there's no such thing as "arrays" in Python, Python uses lists and that does make a difference, I suggest you use NumPy which is a pretty good library for Python and it adds a lot of Matlab-like functionality.You can get started here Numpy for Matlab users

Preferred way to create a Scala list

Failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

I had this issue after installing dotnetframework4.5.
Open path below:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" ( in 64 bits machine)
or
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" (in 32 bits machine)
In this path find file cvtres.exe and rename it to cvtres1.exe then compile your project again.

Div with horizontal scrolling only

The solution is fairly straight forward. To ensure that we don't impact the width of the cells in the table, we'll turn off white-space. To ensure we get a horizontal scroll bar, we'll turn on overflow-x. And that's pretty much it:

.container {
    width: 30em;
    overflow-x: auto;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

You can see the end-result here, or in the animation below. If the table determines the height of your container, you should not need to explicitly set overflow-y to hidden. But understand that is also an option.

Setting HTTP headers

I create wrapper for this case:

func addDefaultHeaders(fn http.HandlerFunc) http.HandlerFunc {
    return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
        fn(w, r)
    }
}

Parsing JSON using C

I used JSON-C for a work project and would recommend it. Lightweight and is released with open licensing.

Documentation is included in the distribution. You basically have *_add functions to create JSON objects, equivalent *_put functions to release their memory, and utility functions that convert types and output objects in string representation.

The licensing allows inclusion with your project. We used it in this way, compiling JSON-C as a static library that is linked in with the main build. That way, we don't have to worry about dependencies (other than installing Xcode).

JSON-C also built for us under OS X (x86 Intel) and Linux (x86 Intel) without incident. If your project needs to be portable, this is a good start.

How to check if a file exists from a url

You don't need CURL for that... Too much overhead for just wanting to check if a file exists or not...

Use PHP's get_header.

$headers=get_headers($url);

Then check if $result[0] contains 200 OK (which means the file is there)

A function to check if a URL works could be this:

function UR_exists($url){
   $headers=get_headers($url);
   return stripos($headers[0],"200 OK")?true:false;
}

/* You can test a URL like this (sample) */
if(UR_exists("http://www.amazingjokes.com/"))
   echo "This page exists";
else
   echo "This page does not exist";

jQuery date formatting

ThulasiRam, I prefer your suggestion. It works well for me in a slightly different syntax/context:

var dt_to = $.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', new Date());

If you decide to utilize datepicker from JQuery UI, make sure you use proper references in your document's < head > section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>

nginx - nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

[::]:80 is a ipv6 address.

This error can be caused if you have a nginx configuration that is listening on port 80 and also on port [::]:80.

I had the following in my default sites-available file:

listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server;

You can fix this by adding ipv6only=on to the [::]:80 like this:

listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on default_server;

CSS: Fix row height

Simply add style="line-height:0" to each cell. This works in IE because it sets the line-height of both existant and non-existant text to about 19px and that forces the cells to expand vertically in most versions of IE. Regardless of whether or not you have text this needs to be done for IE to correctly display rows less than 20px high.

Where is the correct location to put Log4j.properties in an Eclipse project?

You do not want to have the log4j.properties packaged with your project deployable -- that is a bad idea, as other posters have mentioned.

Find the root Tomcat installation that Eclipse is pointing to when it runs your application, and add the log4j.properties file in the proper place there. For Tomcat 7, the right place is

${TOMCAT_HOME}/lib

Difference between static memory allocation and dynamic memory allocation

Difference between STATIC MEMORY ALLOCATION & DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION

Memory is allocated before the execution of the program begins (During Compilation).
Memory is allocated during the execution of the program.

No memory allocation or deallocation actions are performed during Execution.
Memory Bindings are established and destroyed during the Execution.

Variables remain permanently allocated.
Allocated only when program unit is active.

Implemented using stacks and heaps.
Implemented using data segments.

Pointer is needed to accessing variables.
No need of Dynamically allocated pointers.

Faster execution than Dynamic.
Slower execution than static.

More memory Space required.
Less Memory space required.

Proxies with Python 'Requests' module

The proxies' dict syntax is {"protocol":"ip:port", ...}. With it you can specify different (or the same) proxie(s) for requests using http, https, and ftp protocols:

http_proxy  = "http://10.10.1.10:3128"
https_proxy = "https://10.10.1.11:1080"
ftp_proxy   = "ftp://10.10.1.10:3128"

proxyDict = { 
              "http"  : http_proxy, 
              "https" : https_proxy, 
              "ftp"   : ftp_proxy
            }

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxyDict)

Deduced from the requests documentation:

Parameters:
method – method for the new Request object.
url – URL for the new Request object.
...
proxies – (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
...

On linux you can also do this via the HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and FTP_PROXY environment variables:

export HTTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=10.10.1.11:1080
export FTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128

On Windows:

set http_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128
set https_proxy=10.10.1.11:1080
set ftp_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128

Thanks, Jay for pointing this out:
The syntax changed with requests 2.0.0.
You'll need to add a schema to the url: https://2.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies

Is it possible to install another version of Python to Virtualenv?

This procedure installs Python2.7 anywhere and eliminates any absolute path references within your env folder (managed by virtualenv). Even virtualenv isn't installed absolutely.

Thus, theoretically, you can drop the top level directory into a tarball, distribute, and run anything configured within the tarball on a machine that doesn't have Python (or any dependencies) installed.

Contact me with any questions. This is just part of an ongoing, larger project I am engineering. Now, for the drop...

Set up environment folders.
```
$ mkdir env
$ mkdir pyenv
$ mkdir dep
```

Get Python-2.7.3, and virtualenv without any form of root OS installation.

$ cd dep
$ wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tgz
$ wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py

Extract and install Python-2.7.3 into the pyenv dir. make clean is optional if you are doing this a 2nd, 3rd, Nth time...

$ tar -xzvf Python-2.7.3.tgz
$ cd Python-2.7.3
$ make clean
$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/pyenv
$ make && make install
$ cd ../../
$ ls
dep    env    pyenv

Create your virtualenv

$ dep/virtualenv.py --python=/path/to/pyenv/bin/python --verbose env

Fix the symlink to python2.7 within env/include/

$ ls -l env/include/
$ cd !$
$ rm python2.7
$ ln -s ../../pyenv/include/python2.7 python2.7
$ cd ../../

Fix the remaining python symlinks in env. You'll have to delete the symbolically linked directories and recreate them, as above. Also, here's the syntax to force in-place symbolic link creation.
```
$ ls -l env/lib/python2.7/
$ cd !$
$ ln -sf ../../../pyenv/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py UserDict.py
[...repeat until all symbolic links are relative...]
$ cd ../../../
```

Test

$ python --version
Python 2.7.1
$ source env/bin/activate
(env)
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3

Aloha.

What causes signal 'SIGILL'?

It means the CPU attempted to execute an instruction it didn't understand. This could be caused by corruption I guess, or maybe it's been compiled for the wrong architecture (in which case I would have thought the O/S would refuse to run the executable). Not entirely sure what the root issue is.

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

I'm using the following template to implement serialization:

template <class T, class Mode = void> struct Serializer
{
    template <class OutputCharIterator>
    static void serializeImpl(const T &object, OutputCharIterator &&it)
    {
        object.template serializeThis<Mode>(it);
    }

    template <class InputCharIterator>
    static T deserializeImpl(InputCharIterator &&it, InputCharIterator &&end)
    {
        return T::template deserializeFrom<Mode>(it, end);
    }
};

template <class Mode = void, class T, class OutputCharIterator>
void serialize(const T &object, OutputCharIterator &&it)
{
    Serializer<T, Mode>::serializeImpl(object, it);
}

template <class T, class Mode = void, class InputCharIterator>
T deserialize(InputCharIterator &&it, InputCharIterator &&end)
{
    return Serializer<T, Mode>::deserializeImpl(it, end);
}

template <class Mode = void, class T, class InputCharIterator>
void deserialize(T &result, InputCharIterator &&it, InputCharIterator &&end)
{
    result = Serializer<T, Mode>::deserializeImpl(it, end);
}

Here T is the type you want to serialize Mode is a dummy type to differentiate between different kinds of serialization, eg. the same integer can be serialized as little endian, big endian, varint, etc.

By default the Serializer delegates the task to the object being serialized. For built in types you should make a template specialization of the Serializer.

Convenience function templates are also provided.

For example little endian serialization of unsigned integers:

struct LittleEndianMode
{
};

template <class T>
struct Serializer<
    T, std::enable_if_t<std::is_unsigned<T>::value, LittleEndianMode>>
{
    template <class InputCharIterator>
    static T deserializeImpl(InputCharIterator &&it, InputCharIterator &&end)
    {
        T res = 0;

        for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(T); i++)
        {
            if (it == end) break;
            res |= static_cast<T>(*it) << (CHAR_BIT * i);
            it++;
        }

        return res;
    }

    template <class OutputCharIterator>
    static void serializeImpl(T number, OutputCharIterator &&it)
    {
        for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(T); i++)
        {
            *it = (number >> (CHAR_BIT * i)) & 0xFF;
            it++;
        }
    }
};

Then to serialize:

std::vector<char> serialized;
uint32_t val = 42;
serialize<LittleEndianMode>(val, std::back_inserter(serialized));

To deserialize:

uint32_t val;
deserialize(val, serialized.begin(), serialized.end());

Due to the abstract iterator logic, it should work with any iterator (eg. stream iterators), pointer, etc.

The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it

The problem is that you are calling GetGridData from a background thread. This method accesses several WPF controls which are bound to the main thread. Any attempt to access them from a background thread will lead to this error.

In order to get back to the correct thread you should use SynchronizationContext.Current.Post. However in this particular case it seems like the majority of the work you are doing is UI based. Hence you would be creating a background thread just to go immediately back to the UI thread and do some work. You need to refactor your code a bit so that it can do the expensive work on the background thread and then post the new data to the UI thread afterwards

ES6 modules implementation, how to load a json file

With json-loader installed, now you can simply use:

import suburbs from '../suburbs.json';

or, even more simply:

import suburbs from '../suburbs';

What is the difference between atomic / volatile / synchronized?

volatile:

volatile is a keyword. volatile forces all threads to get latest value of the variable from main memory instead of cache. No locking is required to access volatile variables. All threads can access volatile variable value at same time.

Using volatile variables reduces the risk of memory consistency errors, because any write to a volatile variable establishes a happens-before relationship with subsequent reads of that same variable.

This means that changes to a volatile variable are always visible to other threads. What's more, it also means that when a thread reads a volatile variable, it sees not just the latest change to the volatile, but also the side effects of the code that led up the change.

When to use: One thread modifies the data and other threads have to read latest value of data. Other threads will take some action but they won't update data.

AtomicXXX:

AtomicXXX classes support lock-free thread-safe programming on single variables. These AtomicXXX classes (like AtomicInteger) resolves memory inconsistency errors / side effects of modification of volatile variables, which have been accessed in multiple threads.

When to use: Multiple threads can read and modify data.

synchronized:

synchronized is keyword used to guard a method or code block. By making method as synchronized has two effects:

First, it is not possible for two invocations of synchronized methods on the same object to interleave. When one thread is executing a synchronized method for an object, all other threads that invoke synchronized methods for the same object block (suspend execution) until the first thread is done with the object.
Second, when a synchronized method exits, it automatically establishes a happens-before relationship with any subsequent invocation of a synchronized method for the same object. This guarantees that changes to the state of the object are visible to all threads.

When to use: Multiple threads can read and modify data. Your business logic not only update the data but also executes atomic operations

AtomicXXX is equivalent of volatile + synchronized even though the implementation is different. AmtomicXXX extends volatile variables + compareAndSet methods but does not use synchronization.

When should I use GET or POST method? What's the difference between them?

Get and Post methods have nothing to do with the server technology you are using, it works the same in php, asp.net or ruby. GET and POST are part of HTTP protocol. As mark noted, POST is more secure. POST forms are also not cached by the browser. POST is also used to transfer large quantities of data.

How to make a HTTP request using Ruby on Rails?

Here is the code that works if you are making a REST api call behind a proxy:

require "uri"
require 'net/http'

proxy_host = '<proxy addr>'
proxy_port = '<proxy_port>'
proxy_user = '<username>'
proxy_pass = '<password>'

uri = URI.parse("https://saucelabs.com:80/rest/v1/users/<username>")
proxy = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_host, proxy_port, proxy_user, proxy_pass)

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path)
req.basic_auth(<sauce_username>,<sauce_password>)

result = proxy.start(uri.host,uri.port) do |http|
http.request(req)
end

puts result.body

How to run .jar file by double click on Windows 7 64-bit?

How do I set an un-selectable default description in a select (drop-down) menu in HTML?

If none of the options in the select have a selected attribute, the first option will be the one selected.

In order to select a default option that is not the first, add a selected attribute to that option:

<option selected="selected">Select a language</option>

You can read the HTML 4.01 spec regarding defaults in select element.

I suggest reading a good HTML book if you need to learn HTML basics like this - I recommend Head First HTML.

React Modifying Textarea Values

As a newbie in React world, I came across a similar issues where I could not edit the textarea and struggled with binding. It's worth knowing about controlled and uncontrolled elements when it comes to react.

The value of the following uncontrolled textarea cannot be changed because of value

 <textarea type="text" value="some value"
    onChange={(event) => this.handleOnChange(event)}></textarea>

The value of the following uncontrolled textarea can be changed because of use of defaultValue or no value attribute

<textarea type="text" defaultValue="sample" 
    onChange={(event) => this.handleOnChange(event)}></textarea>

<textarea type="text" 
   onChange={(event) => this.handleOnChange(event)}></textarea>

The value of the following controlled textarea can be changed because of how value is mapped to a state as well as the onChange event listener

<textarea value={this.state.textareaValue} 
onChange={(event) => this.handleOnChange(event)}></textarea>

Here is my solution using different syntax. I prefer the auto-bind than manual binding however, if I were to not use {(event) => this.onXXXX(event)} then that would cause the content of textarea to be not editable OR the event.preventDefault() does not work as expected. Still a lot to learn I suppose.

class Editor extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      textareaValue: ''
    }
  }
  handleOnChange(event) {
    this.setState({
      textareaValue: event.target.value
    })
  }
  handleOnSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.setState({
      textareaValue: this.state.textareaValue + ' [Saved on ' + (new Date()).toLocaleString() + ']'
    })
  }
  render() {
    return <div>
        <form onSubmit={(event) => this.handleOnSubmit(event)}>
          <textarea rows={10} cols={30} value={this.state.textareaValue} 
            onChange={(event) => this.handleOnChange(event)}></textarea>
          <br/>
          <input type="submit" value="Save"/>
        </form>
      </div>
  }
}
ReactDOM.render(<Editor />, document.getElementById("content"));

javascript setTimeout() not working

Use:

setTimeout(startTimer,startInterval);

You're calling startTimer() and feed it's result (which is undefined) as an argument to setTimeout().

What's the difference between primitive and reference types?

These are the primitive types in Java:

boolean
byte
short
char
int
long
float
double

All the other types are reference types: they reference objects.

This is the first part of the Java tutorial about the basics of the language.

What is Type-safe?

An explanation from a liberal arts major, not a comp sci major:

When people say that a language or language feature is type safe, they mean that the language will help prevent you from, for example, passing something that isn't an integer to some logic that expects an integer.

For example, in C#, I define a function as:

 void foo(int arg)

The compiler will then stop me from doing this:

  // call foo
  foo("hello world")

In other languages, the compiler would not stop me (or there is no compiler...), so the string would be passed to the logic and then probably something bad will happen.

Type safe languages try to catch more at "compile time".

On the down side, with type safe languages, when you have a string like "123" and you want to operate on it like an int, you have to write more code to convert the string to an int, or when you have an int like 123 and want to use it in a message like, "The answer is 123", you have to write more code to convert/cast it to a string.

Python 2.7: Print to File

C# importing class into another class doesn't work

If they are separate class files within the same project, then you do not need to have an 'import' statement. Just use the class straight off. If the files are in separate projects, you need to add a reference to the project first before you can use an 'import' statement on it.

Fastest method to escape HTML tags as HTML entities?

Here's one way you can do this:

var escape = document.createElement('textarea');
function escapeHTML(html) {
    escape.textContent = html;
    return escape.innerHTML;
}

function unescapeHTML(html) {
    escape.innerHTML = html;
    return escape.textContent;
}

Here's a demo.

Removing duplicates from rows based on specific columns in an RDD/Spark DataFrame

I used inbuilt function dropDuplicates(). Scala code given below

val data = sc.parallelize(List(("Foo",41,"US",3),
("Foo",39,"UK",1),
("Bar",57,"CA",2),
("Bar",72,"CA",2),
("Baz",22,"US",6),
("Baz",36,"US",6))).toDF("x","y","z","count")

data.dropDuplicates(Array("x","count")).show()

Output :

+---+---+---+-----+
|  x|  y|  z|count|
+---+---+---+-----+
|Baz| 22| US|    6|
|Foo| 39| UK|    1|
|Foo| 41| US|    3|
|Bar| 57| CA|    2|
+---+---+---+-----+

Rename multiple files in a folder, add a prefix (Windows)

The problem with the two Powershell answers here is that the prefix can end up being duplicated since the script will potentially run over the file both before and after it has been renamed, depending on the directory being resorted as the renaming process runs. To get around this, simply use the -Exclude option:

Get-ChildItem -Exclude "house chores-*" | rename-item -NewName { "house chores-" + $_.Name }

This will prevent the process from renaming any one file more than once.

Prevent PDF file from downloading and printing

I suggest to modify pdf.js: remove the download button, convert pdf (at backend part) to some intermediate format of pdf.js and put watermark also at server side.

How to load/edit/run/save text files (.py) into an IPython notebook cell?

EDIT: Starting from IPython 3 (now Jupyter project), the notebook has a text editor that can be used as a more convenient alternative to load/edit/save text files.

A text file can be loaded in a notebook cell with the magic command %load.

If you execute a cell containing:

%load filename.py

the content of filename.py will be loaded in the next cell. You can edit and execute it as usual.

To save the cell content back into a file add the cell-magic %%writefile filename.py at the beginning of the cell and run it. Beware that if a file with the same name already exists it will be silently overwritten.

To see the help for any magic command add a ?: like %load? or %%writefile?.

For general help on magic functions type "%magic" For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.

See also: Magic functions from the official IPython docs.

Clear dropdown using jQuery Select2

I'm a little late, but this is what's working in the last version (4.0.3):

$('#select_id').val('').trigger('change');

html select option separator

Instead of the regular hyphon I replaced it using a horizontal bar symbol from the extended character set, it won't look very nice if the user is in another country that replaces that character but works fine for me. There is a range of different chacters you could use for some great effects and there is no css involved.

Spring: Returning empty HTTP Responses with ResponseEntity<Void> doesn't work

NOTE: This is true for the version mentioned in the question, 4.1.1.RELEASE.

Spring MVC handles a ResponseEntity return value through HttpEntityMethodProcessor.

When the ResponseEntity value doesn't have a body set, as is the case in your snippet, HttpEntityMethodProcessor tries to determine a content type for the response body from the parameterization of the ResponseEntity return type in the signature of the @RequestMapping handler method.

So for

public ResponseEntity<Void> taxonomyPackageExists( @PathVariable final String key ) {

that type will be Void. HttpEntityMethodProcessor will then loop through all its registered HttpMessageConverter instances and find one that can write a body for a Void type. Depending on your configuration, it may or may not find any.

If it does find any, it still needs to make sure that the corresponding body will be written with a Content-Type that matches the type(s) provided in the request's Accept header, application/xml in your case.

If after all these checks, no such HttpMessageConverter exists, Spring MVC will decide that it cannot produce an acceptable response and therefore return a 406 Not Acceptable HTTP response.

With ResponseEntity<String>, Spring will use String as the response body and find StringHttpMessageConverter as a handler. And since StringHttpMessageHandler can produce content for any media type (provided in the Accept header), it will be able to handle the application/xml that your client is requesting.

Spring MVC has since been changed to only return 406 if the body in the ResponseEntity is NOT null. You won't see the behavior in the original question if you're using a more recent version of Spring MVC.

In iddy85's solution, which seems to suggest ResponseEntity<?>, the type for the body will be inferred as Object. If you have the correct libraries in your classpath, ie. Jackson (version > 2.5.0) and its XML extension, Spring MVC will have access to MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter which it can use to produce application/xml for the type Object. Their solution only works under these conditions. Otherwise, it will fail for the same reason I've described above.

Show/Hide the console window of a C# console application

    IntPtr h = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle;
    ShowWindow(h, 0);

How to remove the Flutter debug banner?

To remove the flutter debug banner, there are several possibilities :

1- The first one is to use the debugShowCheckModeBanner property in your MaterialApp widget .

Code :

MaterialApp(
  debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
)

And then do a hot reload.

2-The second possibility is to hide debug mode banner in Flutter Inspector if you use Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA .

3- The third possibility is to use Dart DevTools .

How to add parameters to an external data query in Excel which can't be displayed graphically?

If you have Excel 2007 you can write VBA to alter the connections (i.e. the external data queries) in a workbook and update the CommandText property. If you simply add ? where you want a parameter, then next time you refresh the data it'll prompt for the values for the connections! magic. When you look at the properties of the Connection the Parameters button will now be active and useable as normal.

E.g. I'd write a macro, step through it in the debugger, and make it set the CommandText appropriately. Once you've done this you can remove the macro - it's just a means to update the query.

Sub UpdateQuery
    Dim cn As WorkbookConnection
    Dim odbcCn As ODBCConnection, oledbCn As OLEDBConnection
    For Each cn In ThisWorkbook.Connections
        If cn.Type = xlConnectionTypeODBC Then
            Set odbcCn = cn.ODBCConnection

            ' If you do have multiple connections you would want to modify  
            ' the line below each time you run through the loop.
            odbcCn.CommandText = "select blah from someTable where blah like ?"

        ElseIf cn.Type = xlConnectionTypeOLEDB Then
            Set oledbCn = cn.OLEDBConnection
            oledbCn.CommandText = "select blah from someTable where blah like ?" 
        End If
    Next
End Sub

gpg decryption fails with no secret key error

I was trying to use aws-vault which uses pass and gnugp2 (gpg2). I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 running in WSL2.

I tried all the solutions above, and eventually, I had to do one more thing -

$ rm ~/.gnupg/S.*                    # remove cache
$ gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye # restart gpg agent
$ export GPG_TTY=$(tty)              # prompt for password
# ^ This last line should be added to your ~/.bashrc file

The source of this solution is from some blog-post in Japanese, luckily there's Google Translate :)

How to get enum value by string or int

Following is the method in C# to get the enum value by string

///
/// Method to get enumeration value from string value.
///
///
///

public T GetEnumValue<T>(string str) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
    if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
    {
        throw new Exception("T must be an Enumeration type.");
    }
    T val = ((T[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))[0];
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
    {
        foreach (T enumValue in (T[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
        {
            if (enumValue.ToString().ToUpper().Equals(str.ToUpper()))
            {
                val = enumValue;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    return val;
}

Following is the method in C# to get the enum value by int.

///
/// Method to get enumeration value from int value.
///
///
///

public T GetEnumValue<T>(int intValue) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
    if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
    {
        throw new Exception("T must be an Enumeration type.");
    }
    T val = ((T[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))[0];

    foreach (T enumValue in (T[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
    {
        if (Convert.ToInt32(enumValue).Equals(intValue))
        {
            val = enumValue;
            break;
        }             
    }
    return val;
}

If I have an enum as follows:

public enum TestEnum
{
    Value1 = 1,
    Value2 = 2,
    Value3 = 3
}

then I can make use of above methods as

TestEnum reqValue = GetEnumValue<TestEnum>("Value1");  // Output: Value1
TestEnum reqValue2 = GetEnumValue<TestEnum>(2);        // OutPut: Value2

Hope this will help.

How to get current CPU and RAM usage in Python?

I feel like these answers were written for Python 2, and in any case nobody's made mention of the standard resource package that's available for Python 3. It provides commands for obtaining the resource limits of a given process (the calling Python process by default). This isn't the same as getting the current usage of resources by the system as a whole, but it could solve some of the same problems like e.g. "I want to make sure I only use X much RAM with this script."

How to make a boolean variable switch between true and false every time a method is invoked?

in java when you set a value to variable, it return new value. So

private boolean getValue()
{
     return value = !value;
}

What does @@variable mean in Ruby?

@ - Instance variable of a class
@@ - Class variable, also called as static variable in some cases

A class variable is a variable that is shared amongst all instances of a class. This means that only one variable value exists for all objects instantiated from this class. If one object instance changes the value of the variable, that new value will essentially change for all other object instances.

Another way of thinking of thinking of class variables is as global variables within the context of a single class. Class variables are declared by prefixing the variable name with two @ characters (@@). Class variables must be initialized at creation time

Android - setOnClickListener vs OnClickListener vs View.OnClickListener

The logic is simple. setOnClickListener belongs to step 2.

You create the button
You create an instance of OnClickListener* like it's done in that example and override the onClick-method.
You assign that OnClickListener to that button using btn.setOnClickListener(myOnClickListener); in your fragments/activities onCreate-method.
When the user clicks the button, the onClick function of the assigned OnClickListener is called.

*If you import android.view.View; you use View.OnClickListener. If you import android.view.View.*; or import android.view.View.OnClickListener; you use OnClickListener as far as I get it.

Another way is to let you activity/fragment inherit from OnClickListener. This way you assign your fragment/activity as the listener for your button and implement onClick as a member-function.

What are the various "Build action" settings in Visual Studio project properties and what do they do?

Page -- Takes the specified XAML file, and compiles into BAML, and embeds that output into the managed resource stream for your assembly (specifically AssemblyName.g.resources), Additionally, if you have the appropriate attributes on the root XAML element in the file, it will create a blah.g.cs file, which will contain a partial class of the "codebehind" for that page; this basically involves a call to the BAML goop to re-hydrate the file into memory, and to set any of the member variables of your class to the now-created items (e.g. if you put x:Name="foo" on an item, you'll be able to do this.foo.Background = Purple; or similar.

ApplicationDefinition -- similar to Page, except it goes onestep furthur, and defines the entry point for your application that will instantiate your app object, call run on it, which will then instantiate the type set by the StartupUri property, and will give your mainwindow.

Also, to be clear, this question overall is infinate in it's results set; anyone can define additional BuildActions just by building an MSBuild Task. If you look in the %systemroot%\Microsoft.net\framework\v{version}\ directory, and look at the Microsoft.Common.targets file, you should be able to decipher many more (example, with VS Pro and above, there is a "Shadow" action that allows you generate private accessors to help with unit testing private classes.

Is it a good idea to index datetime field in mysql?

Here author performed tests showed that integer unix timestamp is better than DateTime. Note, he used MySql. But I feel no matter what DB engine you use comparing integers are slightly faster than comparing dates so int index is better than DateTime index. Take T1 - time of comparing 2 dates, T2 - time of comparing 2 integers. Search on indexed field takes approximately O(log(rows)) time because index based on some balanced tree - it may be different for different DB engines but anyway Log(rows) is common estimation. (if you not use bitmask or r-tree based index). So difference is (T2-T1)*Log(rows) - may play role if you perform your query oftenly.

How To Run PHP From Windows Command Line in WAMPServer

The following solution is specifically for wamp environments:

This foxed me for a little while, tried all the other suggestions, $PATH etc even searched the windows registry looking for clues:

The GUI (wampmanager) indicates I have version 7 selected and yes if I phpinfo() in a page in the browser it will tell me its version 7.x.x yet php -v in the command prompt reports a 5.x.x

If you right click on the wampmanager head to icon->tools->delete unused versions and remove the old version, let it restart the services then the command prompt will return a 7.x.x

This solution means you no longer have the old version if you want to switch between php versions but there is a configuration file in C:\wamp64\wampmanager.conf which appears to specify the version to use with CLI (the parameter is called phpCliVersion). I changed it, restarted the server ... thought I had solved it but no effect perhaps I was a little impatient so I have a feeling there may be some mileage in that.

Hope that helps someone

printf() formatting for hex

You could always use "%p" in order to display 8 bit hex numbers.

int main (void)
{
    uint8_t a;
    uint32_t b;
    a=15;
    b=a<<28;
    printf("%p", b);
    return 0;
}

Output:

0xf0000000

When should you use 'friend' in C++?

The friend keyword has a number of good uses. Here are the two uses immediately visible to me:

Friend Definition

Friend definition allows to define a function in class-scope, but the function will not be defined as a member function, but as a free function of the enclosing namespace, and won't be visible normally except for argument dependent lookup. That makes it especially useful for operator overloading:

namespace utils {
    class f {
    private:
        typedef int int_type;
        int_type value;

    public:
        // let's assume it doesn't only need .value, but some
        // internal stuff.
        friend f operator+(f const& a, f const& b) {
            // name resolution finds names in class-scope. 
            // int_type is visible here.
            return f(a.value + b.value);
        }

        int getValue() const { return value; }
    };
}

int main() {
    utils::f a, b;
    std::cout << (a + b).getValue(); // valid
}

Private CRTP Base Class

Sometimes, you find the need that a policy needs access to the derived class:

// possible policy used for flexible-class.
template<typename Derived>
struct Policy {
    void doSomething() {
        // casting this to Derived* requires us to see that we are a 
        // base-class of Derived.
        some_type const& t = static_cast<Derived*>(this)->getSomething();
    }
};

// note, derived privately
template<template<typename> class SomePolicy>
struct FlexibleClass : private SomePolicy<FlexibleClass> {
    // we derive privately, so the base-class wouldn't notice that, 
    // (even though it's the base itself!), so we need a friend declaration
    // to make the base a friend of us.
    friend class SomePolicy<FlexibleClass>;

    void doStuff() {
         // calls doSomething of the policy
         this->doSomething();
    }

    // will return useful information
    some_type getSomething();

You will find a non-contrived example for that in this answer. Another code using that is in this answer. The CRTP base casts its this pointer, to be able to access data-fields of the derived class using data-member-pointers.

Angularjs how to upload multipart form data and a file?

First of all

You don't need any special changes in the structure. I mean: html input tags.

_x000D_

<input accept="image/*" name="file" ng-value="fileToUpload"_x000D_
       value="{{fileToUpload}}" file-model="fileToUpload"_x000D_
       set-file-data="fileToUpload = value;" _x000D_
       type="file" id="my_file" />

_x000D_

1.2 create own directive,

_x000D_

.directive("fileModel",function() {_x000D_
 return {_x000D_
  restrict: 'EA',_x000D_
  scope: {_x000D_
   setFileData: "&"_x000D_
  },_x000D_
  link: function(scope, ele, attrs) {_x000D_
   ele.on('change', function() {_x000D_
    scope.$apply(function() {_x000D_
     var val = ele[0].files[0];_x000D_
     scope.setFileData({ value: val });_x000D_
    });_x000D_
   });_x000D_
  }_x000D_
 }_x000D_
})

_x000D_

In module with $httpProvider add dependency like ( Accept, Content-Type etc) with multipart/form-data. (Suggestion would be, accept response in json format) For e.g:

$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Accept'] = 'application/json, text/javascript'; $httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8';

Then create separate function in controller to handle form submit call. like for e.g below code:
In service function handle "responseType" param purposely so that server should not throw "byteerror".
transformRequest, to modify request format with attached identity.
withCredentials : false, for HTTP authentication information.

_x000D_

in controller:_x000D_
_x000D_
  // code this accordingly, so that your file object _x000D_
  // will be picked up in service call below._x000D_
  fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file); _x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
in service:_x000D_
_x000D_
  .service('fileUpload', ['$http', 'ajaxService',_x000D_
    function($http, ajaxService) {_x000D_
_x000D_
      this.uploadFileToUrl = function(data) {_x000D_
        var data = {}; //file object _x000D_
_x000D_
        var fd = new FormData();_x000D_
        fd.append('file', data.file);_x000D_
_x000D_
        $http.post("endpoint server path to whom sending file", fd, {_x000D_
            withCredentials: false,_x000D_
            headers: {_x000D_
              'Content-Type': undefined_x000D_
            },_x000D_
            transformRequest: angular.identity,_x000D_
            params: {_x000D_
              fd_x000D_
            },_x000D_
            responseType: "arraybuffer"_x000D_
          })_x000D_
          .then(function(response) {_x000D_
            var data = response.data;_x000D_
            var status = response.status;_x000D_
            console.log(data);_x000D_
_x000D_
            if (status == 200 || status == 202) //do whatever in success_x000D_
            else // handle error in  else if needed _x000D_
          })_x000D_
          .catch(function(error) {_x000D_
            console.log(error.status);_x000D_
_x000D_
            // handle else calls_x000D_
          });_x000D_
      }_x000D_
    }_x000D_
  }])

Direct casting vs 'as' operator?

I would like to attract attention to the following specifics of the as operator:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/as

Note that the as operator performs only reference conversions, nullable conversions, and boxing conversions. The as operator can't perform other conversions, such as user-defined conversions, which should instead be performed by using cast expressions.

clear cache of browser by command line

Here is how to clear all trash & caches (without other private data in browsers) by a command line. This is a command line batch script that takes care of all trash (as of April 2014):

erase "%TEMP%\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%TEMP%\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"

erase "%TMP%\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%TMP%\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"

erase "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\TEMP\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\TEMP\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"

erase "%SystemRoot%\TEMP\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%SystemRoot%\TEMP\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"


@rem Clear IE cache -  (Deletes Temporary Internet Files Only)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8
erase "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Tempor~1\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Tempor~1\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"

@rem Clear Google Chrome cache
erase "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"


@rem Clear Firefox cache
erase "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.*" /f /s /q
for /D %%i in ("%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*") do RD /S /Q "%%i"

pause

I am pretty sure it will run for some time when you first run it :) Enjoy!

How do I request and receive user input in a .bat and use it to run a certain program?

I don't know the platform you're doing this on but I assume Windows due to the .bat extension.

Also I don't have a way to check this but this seems like the batch processor skips the If lines due to some errors and then executes the one with -dev.

You could try this by chaning the two jump targets (:yes and :no) along with the code. If then the line without -dev is executed you know your If lines are erroneous.

If so, please check if == is really the right way to do a comparison in .bat files.

Also, judging from the way bash does this stuff, %foo=="y" might evaluate to true only if %foo includes the quotes. So maybe "%foo"=="y" is the way to go.

Capture the Screen into a Bitmap

Bitmap memoryImage;
//Set full width, height for image
memoryImage = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width,
                       Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height,
                       PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Size s = new Size(memoryImage.Width, memoryImage.Height);
Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage);
memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, s);
string str = "";
try
{
    str = string.Format(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) +
          @"\Screenshot.png");//Set folder to save image
}
catch { };
memoryImage.save(str);

HashMap with multiple values under the same key

Using Java Collectors

// Group employees by department
Map<Department, List<Employee>> byDept = employees.stream()
                    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Employee::getDepartment));

where Department is your key

Getting the 'external' IP address in Java

The truth is: 'you can't' in the sense that you posed the question. NAT happens outside of the protocol. There is no way for your machine's kernel to know how your NAT box is mapping from external to internal IP addresses. Other answers here offer tricks involving methods of talking to outside web sites.

Reliable way for a Bash script to get the full path to itself

If we use Bash I believe this is the most convenient way as it doesn't require calls to any external commands:

THIS_PATH="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}";
THIS_DIR=$(dirname $THIS_PATH)

Using :before and :after CSS selector to insert Html

content doesn't support HTML, only text. You should probably use javascript, jQuery or something like that.

Another problem with your code is " inside a " block. You should mix ' and " (class='headingDetail').

If content did support HTML you could end up in an infinite loop where content is added inside content.

What is the way of declaring an array in JavaScript?

In your first example, you are making a blank array, same as doing var x = []. The 2nd example makes an array of size 3 (with all elements undefined). The 3rd and 4th examples are the same, they both make arrays with those elements.

Be careful when using new Array().

var x = new Array(10); // array of size 10, all elements undefined
var y = new Array(10, 5); // array of size 2: [10, 5]

The preferred way is using the [] syntax.

var x = []; // array of size 0
var y = [10] // array of size 1: [1]

var z = []; // array of size 0
z[2] = 12;  // z is now size 3: [undefined, undefined, 12]

Get custom product attributes in Woocommerce

The answer to "Any idea for getting all attributes at once?" question is just to call function with only product id:

$array=get_post_meta($product->id);

key is optional, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

Convert dd-mm-yyyy string to date

You can just:

var f = new Date(from.split('-').reverse().join('/'));

How do I set the selected item in a comboBox to match my string using C#?

  ListItem li = DropDownList.Items.FindByValue("13001");
  DropDownList.SelectedIndex = ddlCostCenter.Items.IndexOf(li);

For your case you can use

DropDownList.Items.FindByText("Text");

PG COPY error: invalid input syntax for integer

Use the below command to copy data from CSV in a single line without casting and changing your datatype. Please replace "NULL" by your string which creating error in copy data

copy table_name from 'path to csv file' (format csv, null "NULL", DELIMITER ',', HEADER);

See what's in a stash without applying it

From the man git-stash page:

The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with git stash list, inspected with git stash show

show [<stash>]
       Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the stashed state and
       its original parent. When no <stash> is given, shows the latest one. By default,
       the command shows the diffstat, but it will accept any format known to git diff
       (e.g., git stash show -p stash@{1} to view the second most recent stash in patch
       form).

To list the stashed modifications

git stash list

To show files changed in the last stash

git stash show

So, to view the content of the most recent stash, run

git stash show -p

To view the content of an arbitrary stash, run something like

git stash show -p stash@{1}

VBA Excel 2-Dimensional Arrays

In fact I would not use any REDIM, nor a loop for transferring data from sheet to array:

dim arOne()
arOne = range("A2:F1000")

or even

arOne = range("A2").CurrentRegion

and that's it, your array is filled much faster then with a loop, no redim.

How do I replace multiple spaces with a single space in C#?

I can remove whitespaces with this

while word.contains("  ")  //double space
   word = word.Replace("  "," "); //replace double space by single space.
word = word.trim(); //to remove single whitespces from start & end.

MySQL: Selecting multiple fields into multiple variables in a stored procedure

Alternatively to Martin's answer, you could also add the INTO part at the end of the query to make the query more readable:

SELECT Id, dateCreated FROM products INTO iId, dCreate

jQuery UI Dialog OnBeforeUnload

You can also make an exception for leaving the page via submitting a particular form:

$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){
    return "Do you really want to leave now?";
});

$("#form_id").submit(function(){
    $(window).unbind("beforeunload");
});

List file names based on a filename pattern and file content?

It can be done without find as well by using grep's "--include" option.

grep man page says:

--include=GLOB
Search only files whose base name matches GLOB (using wildcard matching as described under --exclude).

So to do a recursive search for a string in a file matching a specific pattern, it will look something like this:

grep -r --include=<pattern> <string> <directory>

For example, to recursively search for string "mytarget" in all Makefiles:

grep -r --include="Makefile" "mytarget" ./

Or to search in all files starting with "Make" in filename:

grep -r --include="Make*" "mytarget" ./

Writing a pandas DataFrame to CSV file

Example of export in file with full path on Windows and in case your file has headers:

df.to_csv (r'C:\Users\John\Desktop\export_dataframe.csv', index = None, header=True)

For example, if you want to store the file in same directory where your script is, with utf-8 encoding and tab as separator:

df.to_csv(r'./export/dftocsv.csv', sep='\t', encoding='utf-8', header='true')

php codeigniter count rows

public function number_row()

                       ->get('user_details');              
      if($query-> num_rows()>0)
      {
          return $query->row();
      } 
      else
      {
          return false;
      }

Google Maps API - how to get latitude and longitude from Autocomplete without showing the map?

You can use the code below.

<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function initialize() {
        var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
        var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
        google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function () {
            var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
            document.getElementById('city2').value = place.name;
            document.getElementById('cityLat').value = place.geometry.location.lat();
            document.getElementById('cityLng').value = place.geometry.location.lng();
            //alert("This function is working!");
            //alert(place.name);
           // alert(place.address_components[0].long_name);

        });
    }
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize); 
</script>

and this part is inside your form:

<input id="searchTextField" type="text" size="50" placeholder="Enter a location" autocomplete="on" runat="server" />  
<input type="hidden" id="city2" name="city2" />
<input type="hidden" id="cityLat" name="cityLat" />
<input type="hidden" id="cityLng" name="cityLng" />

I hope it helps.

Determine what user created objects in SQL Server

The answer is "no, you probably can't".

While there is stuff in there that might say who created a given object, there are a lot of "ifs" behind them. A quick (and not necessarily complete) review:

sys.objects (and thus sys.tables, sys.procedures, sys.views, etc.) has column principal_id. This value is a foreign key that relates to the list of database users, which in turn can be joined with the list of SQL (instance) logins. (All of this info can be found in further system views.)

But.

A quick check on our setup here and a cursory review of BOL indicates that this value is only set (i.e. not null) if it is "different from the schema owner". In our development system, and we've got dbo + two other schemas, everything comes up as NULL. This is probably because everyone has dbo rights within these databases.

This is using NT authentication. SQL authentication probably works much the same. Also, does everyone have and use a unique login, or are they shared? If you have employee turnover and domain (or SQL) logins get dropped, once again the data may not be there or may be incomplete.

You can look this data over (select * from sys.objects), but if principal_id is null, you are probably out of luck.

Deserialize json object into dynamic object using Json.net

As of Json.NET 4.0 Release 1, there is native dynamic support:

[Test]
public void DynamicDeserialization()
{
    dynamic jsonResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{\"message\":\"Hi\"}");
    jsonResponse.Works = true;
    Console.WriteLine(jsonResponse.message); // Hi
    Console.WriteLine(jsonResponse.Works); // True
    Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jsonResponse)); // {"message":"Hi","Works":true}
    Assert.That(jsonResponse, Is.InstanceOf<dynamic>());
    Assert.That(jsonResponse, Is.TypeOf<JObject>());
}

And, of course, the best way to get the current version is via NuGet.

Updated (11/12/2014) to address comments:

This works perfectly fine. If you inspect the type in the debugger you will see that the value is, in fact, dynamic. The underlying type is a JObject. If you want to control the type (like specifying ExpandoObject, then do so.

Execute Immediate within a stored procedure keeps giving insufficient priviliges error

You should use this example with AUTHID CURRENT_USER :

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Create_sequence_for_tab (VAR_TAB_NAME IN VARCHAR2)

   SEQ_NAME       VARCHAR2 (100);
   FINAL_QUERY    VARCHAR2 (100);
   COUNT_NUMBER   NUMBER := 0;
   cur_id         NUMBER;
BEGIN
   SEQ_NAME := 'SEQ_' || VAR_TAB_NAME;

   SELECT COUNT (*)
     INTO COUNT_NUMBER
     FROM USER_SEQUENCES
    WHERE SEQUENCE_NAME = SEQ_NAME;

   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (SEQ_NAME || '>' || COUNT_NUMBER);

   IF COUNT_NUMBER = 0
   THEN
      --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('DROP SEQUENCE ' || SEQ_NAME);
      -- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP SEQUENCE ' || SEQ_NAME;
      -- ELSE
      SELECT 'CREATE SEQUENCE COMPTABILITE.' || SEQ_NAME || ' START WITH ' || ROUND (DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE (100000000000, 999999999999), 0) || ' INCREMENT BY 1'
        INTO FINAL_QUERY
        FROM DUAL;

      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (FINAL_QUERY);
      cur_id := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
      DBMS_SQL.parse (cur_id, FINAL_QUERY, DBMS_SQL.v7);
      DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR (cur_id);
   -- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE FINAL_QUERY;

   END IF;

   COMMIT;
END;

How to filter array when object key value is in array

You can use Array#filter function and additional array for storing sorted values;

var recordsSorted = []

ids.forEach(function(e) {
    recordsSorted.push(records.filter(function(o) {
        return o.empid === e;
    }));
});

console.log(recordsSorted);

Result:

[ [ { empid: 1, fname: 'X', lname: 'Y' } ],
  [ { empid: 4, fname: 'C', lname: 'Y' } ],
  [ { empid: 5, fname: 'C', lname: 'Y' } ] ]

Remove whitespaces inside a string in javascript

You can use Strings replace method with a regular expression.

"Hello World ".replace(/ /g, "");

The replace() method returns a new string with some or all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement. The pattern can be a string or a RegExp

RegExp

/ / - Regular expression matching spaces
g - Global flag; find all matches rather than stopping after the first match

_x000D_

const str = "H    e            l l       o  World! ".replace(/ /g, "");_x000D_
document.getElementById("greeting").innerText = str;

_x000D_

<p id="greeting"><p>
