Python causing: IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '../results/32766.html' on disk with lots of space

It turns out the best solution for me here was to just reformat the drive. Once reformatted all these problems were no longer problems.

How to copy a directory structure but only include certain files (using windows batch files)

With find and cp only:

mkdir /tmp/targetdir
cd sourcedir
find . -type f -name '*.zip' -exec cp -p --parents {} /tmp/targetdir ";"
find . -type f -name '*.txt' -exec cp -p --parents {} /tmp/targetdir ";"

jQuery get html of container including the container itself

Format numbers to strings in Python

str() in python on an integer will not print any decimal places.

If you have a float that you want to ignore the decimal part, then you can use str(int(floatValue)).

Perhaps the following code will demonstrate:

>>> str(5)
'5'
>>> int(8.7)

How to center align the cells of a UICollectionView?

This is how i obtained a collection view that was center aligned with a fixed Interitem spacing

#define maxInteritemSpacing 6
#define minLineSpacing 3

@interface MyFlowLayout()<UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout>

@end

@implementation MyFlowLayout

Read a text file line by line in Qt

Since Qt 5.5 you can use QTextStream::readLineInto. It behaves similar to std::getline and is maybe faster as QTextStream::readLine, because it reuses the string:

QIODevice* device;
QTextStream in(&device);

QString line;
while (in.readLineInto(&line)) {
  // ...
}

How can I change the color of a Google Maps marker?

The simplest way I found is to use BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker() the documentation even has an example of setting the color. From my own code:

MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions()
            .title(formatInfo(data))
            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE))
            .position(new LatLng(data.getLatitude(), data.getLongitude()))

ES6 modules in the browser: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

Unfortunately, modules aren't supported by many browsers right now.

This feature is only just beginning to be implemented in browsers natively at this time. It is implemented in many transpilers, such as TypeScript and Babel, and bundlers such as Rollup and Webpack.

Using a Python subprocess call to invoke a Python script

If 'somescript.py' isn't something you could normally execute directly from the command line (I.e., $: somescript.py works), then you can't call it directly using call.

Remember that the way Popen works is that the first argument is the program that it executes, and the rest are the arguments passed to that program. In this case, the program is actually python, not your script. So the following will work as you expect:

subprocess.call(['python', 'somescript.py', somescript_arg1, somescript_val1,...]).

This correctly calls the Python interpreter and tells it to execute your script with the given arguments.

Note that this is different from the above suggestion:

subprocess.call(['python somescript.py'])

That will try to execute the program called python somscript.py, which clearly doesn't exist.

call('python somescript.py', shell=True)

Will also work, but using strings as input to call is not cross platform, is dangerous if you aren't the one building the string, and should generally be avoided if at all possible.

When should I write the keyword 'inline' for a function/method?

Inline keyword requests the compiler to replace the function call with the body of the function ,it first evaluates the expression and then passed.It reduces the function call overhead as there is no need to store the return address and stack memory is not required for function arguments.

When to use:

  • To Improve performance
  • To reduce call overhead .
  • As it's just a request to the compiler, certain functions won't be inlined *large functions
    • functions having too many conditional arguments
    • recursive code and code with loops etc.

Iterating over all the keys of a map

for _, key := range reflect.ValueOf(yourMap).MapKeys() {
    value := s.MapIndex(key).Interface()
    fmt.Println("Key:", key, "Value:", value)
}  

How do I Search/Find and Replace in a standard string?

#include <string>

using std::string;

void myReplace(string& str,
               const string& oldStr,
               const string& newStr) {
  if (oldStr.empty()) {
    return;
  }

  for (size_t pos = 0; (pos = str.find(oldStr, pos)) != string::npos;) {
    str.replace(pos, oldStr.length(), newStr);
    pos += newStr.length();
  }
}

The check for oldStr being empty is important. If for whatever reason that parameter is empty you will get stuck in an infinite loop.

But yeah use the tried and tested C++11 or Boost solution if you can.

How do I merge changes to a single file, rather than merging commits?

var NewOprionValue = "Test2"

        var RemoveSelected = $("#MyDropDownList")[0].innerHTML.replace('selected', '');
        var ChangeSelected = RemoveSelected.replace(NewOption, NewOption + 'selected>');
        $('#MyDropDownList').html(ChangeSelected);

How to load image files with webpack file-loader

Regarding problem #1

Once you have the file-loader configured in the webpack.config, whenever you use import/require it tests the path against all loaders, and in case there is a match it passes the contents through that loader. In your case, it matched

{
    test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i, 
    loader: "file-loader?name=/public/icons/[name].[ext]"
}

// For newer versions of Webpack it should be
{
    test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i, 
    loader: 'file-loader',
    options: {
      name: '/public/icons/[name].[ext]'
    }
}

and therefore you see the image emitted to

dist/public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png

which is the wanted behavior.

The reason you are also getting the hash file name, is because you are adding an additional inline file-loader. You are importing the image as:

'file!../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'.

Prefixing with file!, passes the file into the file-loader again, and this time it doesn't have the name configuration.

So your import should really just be:

import img from '../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'

Update

As noted by @cgatian, if you actually want to use an inline file-loader, ignoring the webpack global configuration, you can prefix the import with two exclamation marks (!!):

import '!!file!../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'.

Regarding problem #2

After importing the png, the img variable only holds the path the file-loader "knows about", which is public/icons/[name].[ext] (aka "file-loader? name=/public/icons/[name].[ext]"). Your output dir "dist" is unknown. You could solve this in two ways:

  1. Run all your code under the "dist" folder
  2. Add publicPath property to your output config, that points to your output directory (in your case ./dist).

Example:

output: {
  path: PATHS.build,
  filename: 'app.bundle.js',
  publicPath: PATHS.build
},

Scroll back to the top of scrollable div

If the html content overflow a single viewport, this worked for me using only javascript:

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].scrollTop = 0;

How to read an entire file to a string using C#?

you can use :

 public static void ReadFileToEnd()
{
    try

        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
        {
            String line = sr.ReadToEnd();
            Console.WriteLine(line);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:");
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }
}

ECMAScript 6 + jQuery, 85 bytes

$({jQueryCode:(url)=>location.replace(url)}).attr("jQueryCode")("http://example.com")

Please don't kill me, this is a joke. It's a joke. This is a joke.

This did "provide an answer to the question", in the sense that it asked for a solution "using jQuery" which in this case entails forcing it into the equation somehow.

Ferrybig apparently needs the joke explained (still joking, I'm sure there are limited options on the review form), so without further ado:

Other answers are using jQuery's attr() on the location or window objects unnecessarily.

This answer also abuses it, but in a more ridiculous way. Instead of using it to set the location, this uses attr() to retrieve a function that sets the location.

The function is named jQueryCode even though there's nothing jQuery about it, and calling a function somethingCode is just horrible, especially when the something is not even a language.

The "85 bytes" is a reference to Code Golf. Golfing is obviously not something you should do outside of code golf, and furthermore this answer is clearly not actually golfed.

Basically, cringe.

How to call a method after a delay in Android

Note: This answer was given when the question didn't specify Android as the context. For an answer specific to the Android UI thread look here.


It looks like the Mac OS API lets the current thread continue, and schedules the task to run asynchronously. In the Java, the equivalent function is provided by the java.util.concurrent package. I'm not sure what limitations Android might impose.

private static final ScheduledExecutorService worker = 
  Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();

void someMethod() {
  ?
  Runnable task = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      /* Do something… */
    }
  };
  worker.schedule(task, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  ?
}

What's the best way to break from nested loops in JavaScript?

Quite simple:

var a = [1, 2, 3];
var b = [4, 5, 6];
var breakCheck1 = false;

for (var i in a) {
    for (var j in b) {
        breakCheck1 = true;
        break;
    }
    if (breakCheck1) break;
}

Using SimpleXML to create an XML object from scratch

Sure you can. Eg.

<?php
$newsXML = new SimpleXMLElement("<news></news>");
$newsXML->addAttribute('newsPagePrefix', 'value goes here');
$newsIntro = $newsXML->addChild('content');
$newsIntro->addAttribute('type', 'latest');
Header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo $newsXML->asXML();
?>

Output

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news newsPagePrefix="value goes here">
    <content type="latest"/>
</news>

Have fun.

Querying data by joining two tables in two database on different servers

Maybe hard-coded database names isn't the best approach always within an SQL-query. Thus, adding synonyms would be a better approach. It's not always the case that databases have the same name across several staging environments. They might consist by postfixes like PROD, UAT, SIT, QA and so forth. So be aware of hard-coded queries and make them more dynamic.

Approach #1: Use synonyms to link tables between databases on the same server.

Approach #2: Collect data separately from each database and join it in your code. Your database connection strings could be part of your App-server configuration through either a database or a config file.

Can't push to GitHub because of large file which I already deleted

I got the same problem and none of the answers work for me. I solved by the following steps:

1. Find which commit(s) contains the large file

git log --all -- 'large_file`

The bottom commit is the oldest commit in the result list.

2. Find the one just before the oldest.

git log

Suppose you got:

commit 3f7dd04a6e6dbdf1fff92df1f6344a06119d5d32

3. Git rebase

git rebase -i 3f7dd04a6e6dbdf1fff92df1f6344a06119d5d32

Tips:

  1. List item
  2. I just choose drop for the commits contains the large file.
  3. You may meet conflicts during rebase fix them and use git rebase --continue to continue until you finish it.
  4. If anything went wrong during rebase use git rebase --abort to cancel it.

When is null or undefined used in JavaScript?

Regarding this topic the specification (ecma-262) is quite clear

I found it really useful and straightforward, so that I share it: - Here you will find Equality algorithm - Here you will find Strict equality algorithm

I bumped into it reading "Abstract equality, strict equality, and same value" from mozilla developer site, section sameness.

I hope you find it useful.

How to copy a dictionary and only edit the copy

When you assign dict2 = dict1, you are not making a copy of dict1, it results in dict2 being just another name for dict1.

To copy the mutable types like dictionaries, use copy / deepcopy of the copy module.

import copy

dict2 = copy.deepcopy(dict1)

Build an iOS app without owning a mac?

You can use Phonegap (Cordova) to develop iOS Apps without a Mac, but yout would still need a Mac to submit your application to the App Store. We developed a cloud application which also can publish your app without a Mac https://www.wenz.io/ApplicationLoader. Currently we are in beta and you can use the service for free.

iOS 8 Snapshotting a view that has not been rendered results in an empty snapshot

I'm using Phonegap, but this thread keeps coming as the first one when Googling about the error message.

For me this issue went away by defining the imagetype to PNG.

encodingType : Camera.EncodingType.PNG

So the whole line being:

 navigator.camera.getPicture(successFunction, failFunction, { encodingType : Camera.EncodingType.PNG, correctOrientation:true, sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType    .PHOTOLIBRARY, quality: 70, allowEdit : false , destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL});

Your mileage may vary, but that did the trick for me.

How to display a Yes/No dialog box on Android?

This is working for me:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());

    builder.setTitle("Confirm");
    builder.setMessage("Are you sure?");

    builder.setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    builder.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            // Do nothing
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.show();

Reset Windows Activation/Remove license key

  1. Open a command prompt as an Administrator.

  2. Enter slmgr /upk and wait for this to complete. This will uninstall the current product key from Windows and put it into an unlicensed state.

  3. Enter slmgr /cpky and wait for this to complete. This will remove the product key from the registry if it's still there.

  4. Enter slmgr /rearm and wait for this to complete. This is to reset the Windows activation timers so the new users will be prompted to activate Windows when they put in the key.

This should put the system back to a pre-key state.

Hope this helps you out!

On design patterns: When should I use the singleton?

A Singleton candidate must satisfy three requirements:

  • controls concurrent access to a shared resource.
  • access to the resource will be requested from multiple, disparate parts of the system.
  • there can be only one object.

If your proposed Singleton has only one or two of these requirements, a redesign is almost always the correct option.

For example, a printer spooler is unlikely to be called from more than one place (the Print menu), so you can use mutexes to solve the concurrent access problem.

A simple logger is the most obvious example of a possibly-valid Singleton, but this can change with more complex logging schemes.

How to initialize a nested struct?

Define your Proxy struct separately, outside of Configuration, like this:

type Proxy struct {

}

type Configuration struct {

}

c := &Configuration{
    Val: "test",
    P: Proxy{
        Address: "addr",
        Port:    "80",
    },
}

How to check if a date is greater than another in Java?

Parse the string into date, then compare using compareTo, before or after

Date d = new Date();
d.compareTo(anotherDate)

i.e

Date date1 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse(date1string)
Date date2 = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse(date2string)

date1.compareTo(date2);

Copying the comment provided below by @MuhammadSaqib to complete this answer.

Returns the value 0 if the argument Date is equal to this Date; a value less than 0 if this Date is before the Date argument, and a value greater than 0 if this Date is after the Date argument. and NullPointerException - if anotherDate is null.

JS - window.history - Delete a state

You may have moved on by now, but... as far as I know there's no way to delete a history entry (or state).

One option I've been looking into is to handle the history yourself in JavaScript and use the window.history object as a carrier of sorts.

Basically, when the page first loads you create your custom history object (we'll go with an array here, but use whatever makes sense for your situation), then do your initial pushState. I would pass your custom history object as the state object, as it may come in handy if you also need to handle users navigating away from your app and coming back later.

var myHistory = [];

function pageLoad() {
    window.history.pushState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

    //Load page data.
}

Now when you navigate, you add to your own history object (or don't - the history is now in your hands!) and use replaceState to keep the browser out of the loop.

function nav_to_details() {
    myHistory.push("page_im_on_now");
    window.history.replaceState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

    //Load page data.
}

When the user navigates backwards, they'll be hitting your "base" state (your state object will be null) and you can handle the navigation according to your custom history object. Afterward, you do another pushState.

function on_popState() {
    // Note that some browsers fire popState on initial load,
    // so you should check your state object and handle things accordingly.
    // (I did not do that in these examples!)

    if (myHistory.length > 0) {
        var pg = myHistory.pop();
        window.history.pushState(myHistory, "<name>", "<url>");

        //Load page data for "pg".
    } else {
        //No "history" - let them exit or keep them in the app.
    }
}

The user will never be able to navigate forward using their browser buttons because they are always on the newest page.

From the browser's perspective, every time they go "back", they've immediately pushed forward again.

From the user's perspective, they're able to navigate backwards through the pages but not forward (basically simulating the smartphone "page stack" model).

From the developer's perspective, you now have a high level of control over how the user navigates through your application, while still allowing them to use the familiar navigation buttons on their browser. You can add/remove items from anywhere in the history chain as you please. If you use objects in your history array, you can track extra information about the pages as well (like field contents and whatnot).

If you need to handle user-initiated navigation (like the user changing the URL in a hash-based navigation scheme), then you might use a slightly different approach like...

var myHistory = [];

function pageLoad() {
    // When the user first hits your page...
    // Check the state to see what's going on.

    if (window.history.state === null) {
        // If the state is null, this is a NEW navigation,
        //    the user has navigated to your page directly (not using back/forward).

        // First we establish a "back" page to catch backward navigation.
        window.history.replaceState(
            { isBackPage: true },
            "<back>",
            "<back>"
        );

        // Then push an "app" page on top of that - this is where the user will sit.
        // (As browsers vary, it might be safer to put this in a short setTimeout).
        window.history.pushState(
            { isBackPage: false },
            "<name>",
            "<url>"
        );

        // We also need to start our history tracking.
        myHistory.push("<whatever>");

        return;
    }

    // If the state is NOT null, then the user is returning to our app via history navigation.

    // (Load up the page based on the last entry of myHistory here)

    if (window.history.state.isBackPage) {
        // If the user came into our app via the back page,
        //     you can either push them forward one more step or just use pushState as above.

        window.history.go(1);
        // or window.history.pushState({ isBackPage: false }, "<name>", "<url>");
    }

    setTimeout(function() {
        // Add our popstate event listener - doing it here should remove
        //     the issue of dealing with the browser firing it on initial page load.
        window.addEventListener("popstate", on_popstate);
    }, 100);
}

function on_popstate(e) {
    if (e.state === null) {
        // If there's no state at all, then the user must have navigated to a new hash.

        // <Look at what they've done, maybe by reading the hash from the URL>
        // <Change/load the new page and push it onto the myHistory stack>
        // <Alternatively, ignore their navigation attempt by NOT loading anything new or adding to myHistory>

        // Undo what they've done (as far as navigation) by kicking them backwards to the "app" page
        window.history.go(-1);

        // Optionally, you can throw another replaceState in here, e.g. if you want to change the visible URL.
        // This would also prevent them from using the "forward" button to return to the new hash.
        window.history.replaceState(
            { isBackPage: false },
            "<new name>",
            "<new url>"
        );
    } else {
        if (e.state.isBackPage) {
            // If there is state and it's the 'back' page...

            if (myHistory.length > 0) {
                // Pull/load the page from our custom history...
                var pg = myHistory.pop();
                // <load/render/whatever>

                // And push them to our "app" page again
                window.history.pushState(
                    { isBackPage: false },
                    "<name>",
                    "<url>"
                );
            } else {
                // No more history - let them exit or keep them in the app.
            }
        }

        // Implied 'else' here - if there is state and it's NOT the 'back' page
        //     then we can ignore it since we're already on the page we want.
        //     (This is the case when we push the user back with window.history.go(-1) above)

How can I get my Twitter Bootstrap buttons to right align?

Sorry for replying to an older already answered question, but I thought I'd point out a couple of reasons that your jsfiddle does not work, in case others check it out and wonder why the pull-right class as described in the accepted answer doesn't work there.

  1. the url to the bootstrap.css file is invalid. (perhaps it worked when you asked the question).
  2. you should add the attribute: type="button" to your input element, or it won't be rendered as a button - it will be rendered as an input box. Better yet, use the <button> element instead.
  3. Additionally, because pull-right uses floats, you will get some staggering of the button layout because each LI does not have enough height to accommodate the height of the button. Adding some line-height or min-height css to the LI would address that.

working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3ejqufp6/

<ul>
  <li>One <input type="button" class="btn pull-right" value="test"/></li>
  <li>Two <input type="button" class="btn pull-right" value="test2"/></li>
</ul>

(I also added a min-width to the buttons as I couldn't stand the look of a ragged right-justified look to the buttons because of varying widths :) )

Slicing of a NumPy 2d array, or how do I extract an mxm submatrix from an nxn array (n>m)?

With numpy, you can pass a slice for each component of the index - so, your x[0:2,0:2] example above works.

If you just want to evenly skip columns or rows, you can pass slices with three components (i.e. start, stop, step).

Again, for your example above:

>>> x[1:4:2, 1:4:2]
array([[ 5,  7],
       [13, 15]])

Which is basically: slice in the first dimension, with start at index 1, stop when index is equal or greater than 4, and add 2 to the index in each pass. The same for the second dimension. Again: this only works for constant steps.

The syntax you got to do something quite different internally - what x[[1,3]][:,[1,3]] actually does is create a new array including only rows 1 and 3 from the original array (done with the x[[1,3]] part), and then re-slice that - creating a third array - including only columns 1 and 3 of the previous array.

How to integrate Dart into a Rails app

If you run pub build --mode=debug the build directory contains the application without symlinks. The Dart code should be retained when --mode=debug is used.

Uninstall Django completely

The Issue is with pip --version or python --version.

try solving issue with pip2.7 uninstall Django command

If you are not able to uninstall using the above command then for sure your pip2.7 version is not installed so you can follow the below steps:

1)which pip2.7 it should give you an output like this :

/usr/local/bin/pip2.7

2) If you have not got this output please install pip using following commands

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2.7 get-pip.py

3) Now check your pip version : which pip2.7 Now you will get

/usr/local/bin/pip2.7 as output 

4) uninstall Django using pip2.7 uninstall Django command.

Problem can also be related to Python version. I had a similar problem, this is how I uninstalled Django.

Issue occurred because I had multiple python installed in my virtual environment.

$ ls

activate       activate_this.py  easy_install-3.4  pip2.7  python     python3        wheel
activate.csh   easy_install      pip               pip3    python2    python3.4
activate.fish  easy_install-2.7  pip2              pip3.4  python2.7  python-config

Now when I tried to un-install using pip uninstall Django Django got uninstalled from python 2.7 but not from python 3.4 so I followed the following steps to resolve the issue :

1)alias python=/usr/bin/python3

2) Now check your python version using python -V command

3) If you have switched to your required python version now you can simply uninstall Django using pip3 uninstall Django command

Hope this answer helps.

how to create inline style with :before and :after

If you really need it inline, for example because you are loading some user-defined colors dynamically, you can always add a <style> element right before your content.

<style>#project-slide-1:before { color: #ff0000; }</style>
<div id="project-slide-1" class="project-slide"> ... </div>

Example use case with PHP and some (wordpress inspired) dummy functions:

<style>#project-slide-<?php the_ID() ?>:before { color: <?php the_field('color') ?>; }</style>
<div id="project-slide-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="project-slide"> ... </div>

Since HTML 5.2 it is valid to place style elements inside the body, although it is still recommend to place style elements in the head.

Reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/document-metadata.html#the-style-element

Return single column from a multi-dimensional array

Quite simple:

$input = array(
  array(
    'tag_name' => 'google'
  ),
  array(
    'tag_name' => 'technology'
  )
);

echo implode(', ', array_map(function ($entry) {
  return $entry['tag_name'];
}, $input));

and new in php v5.5.0, array_column:

echo implode(', ', array_column($input, 'tag_name'));

How to let PHP to create subdomain automatically for each user?

The feature you are after is called Wildcard Subdomains. It allows you not have to setup DNS for each subdomain, and instead use apache rewrites for the redirection. You can find a nice tutorial here, but there are thousands of tutorials out there. Here is the necessary code from that tutorial:

<VirtualHost 111.22.33.55>
    DocumentRoot /www/subdomain
    ServerName www.domain.tld
    ServerAlias *.domain.tld
</VirtualHost>

However as it required the use of VirtualHosts it must be set in the server's httpd.conf file, instead of a local .htaccess.

Apply CSS styles to an element depending on its child elements

On top of @kp's answer:

I'm dealing with this and in my case, I have to show a child element and correct the height of the parent object accordingly (auto-sizing is not working in a bootstrap header for some reason I don't have time to debug).

But instead of using javascript to modify the parent, I think I'll dynamically add a CSS class to the parent and CSS-selectively show the children accordingly. This will maintain the decisions in the logic and not based on a CSS state.

tl;dr; apply the a and b styles to the parent <div>, not the child (of course, not everyone will be able to do this. i.e. Angular components making decisions of their own).

<style>
  .parent            { height: 50px; }
  .parent div        { display: none; }
  .with-children     { height: 100px; }
  .with-children div { display: block; }
</style>

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

<script>
  // to show the children
  $('.parent').addClass('with-children');
</script>

What is the difference between class and instance methods?

An instance method applies to an instance of the class (i.e. an object) whereas a class method applies to the class itself.

In C# a class method is marked static. Methods and properties not marked static are instance methods.

class Foo {
  public static void ClassMethod() { ... }
  public void InstanceMethod() { ... }
}

How to generate different random numbers in a loop in C++?

Try moving the seed srand outside the loop like so:

srand ( time(NULL) );
for (int t=0;t<10;t++)
{
    int random_x;
    random_x = rand() % 100;
    cout<< "\nRandom X = "<<random_x;
} 

As Mark Ransom says in the comment, moving the seed outside the loop will only help if the loop is not residing in a function you are calling several times.

How to parse JSON using Node.js?

you can require .json files.

var parsedJSON = require('./file-name');

For example if you have a config.json file in the same directory as your source code file you would use:

var config = require('./config.json');

or (file extension can be omitted):

var config = require('./config');

note that require is synchronous and only reads the file once, following calls return the result from cache

Also note You should only use this for local files under your absolute control, as it potentially executes any code within the file.

Multi-character constant warnings

Even if you're willing to look up what behavior your implementation defines, multi-character constants will still vary with endianness.

Better to use a (POD) struct { char[4] }; ... and then use a UDL like "WAVE"_4cc to easily construct instances of that class

What do hjust and vjust do when making a plot using ggplot?

The value of hjust and vjust are only defined between 0 and 1:

  • 0 means left-justified
  • 1 means right-justified

Source: ggplot2, Hadley Wickham, page 196

(Yes, I know that in most cases you can use it beyond this range, but don't expect it to behave in any specific way. This is outside spec.)

hjust controls horizontal justification and vjust controls vertical justification.

An example should make this clear:

td <- expand.grid(
    hjust=c(0, 0.5, 1),
    vjust=c(0, 0.5, 1),
    angle=c(0, 45, 90),
    text="text"
)

ggplot(td, aes(x=hjust, y=vjust)) + 
    geom_point() +
    geom_text(aes(label=text, angle=angle, hjust=hjust, vjust=vjust)) + 
    facet_grid(~angle) +
    scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(0, 0.5, 1), expand=c(0, 0.2)) +
    scale_y_continuous(breaks=c(0, 0.5, 1), expand=c(0, 0.2))

enter image description here


To understand what happens when you change the hjust in axis text, you need to understand that the horizontal alignment for axis text is defined in relation not to the x-axis, but to the entire plot (where this includes the y-axis text). (This is, in my view, unfortunate. It would be much more useful to have the alignment relative to the axis.)

DF <- data.frame(x=LETTERS[1:3],y=1:3)
p <- ggplot(DF, aes(x,y)) + geom_point() + 
    ylab("Very long label for y") +
    theme(axis.title.y=element_text(angle=0))


p1 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=0)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=0")
p2 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=0.5)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=0.5")
p3 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=1)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=1")

library(ggExtra)
align.plots(p1, p2, p3)

enter image description here


To explore what happens with vjust aligment of axis labels:

DF <- data.frame(x=c("a\na","b","cdefghijk","l"),y=1:4)
p <- ggplot(DF, aes(x,y)) + geom_point()

p1 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=0, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=0")
p2 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=0.5, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=0.5")
p3 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=1, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=1")


library(ggExtra)
align.plots(p1, p2, p3)

Single TextView with multiple colored text

yes, if you format the String with html's font-color property then pass it to the method Html.fromHtml(your text here)

String text = "<font color=#cc0029>First Color</font> <font color=#ffcc00>Second Color</font>";
yourtextview.setText(Html.fromHtml(text));

Last element in .each() set

A shorter answer from here, adapted to this question:

var arr = $('.requiredText');
arr.each(function(index, item) {
   var is_last_item = (index == (arr.length - 1));
});

Just for completeness.

Finding smallest value in an array most efficiently

If you're developing some kind of your own array abstraction, you can get O(1) if you store smallest added value in additional attribute and compare it every time a new item is put into array.

It should look something like this:

class MyArray
{
public:
    MyArray() : m_minValue(INT_MAX) {}

    void add(int newValue)
    {
        if (newValue < m_minValue) m_minValue = newValue;
        list.push_back( newValue );
    }

    int min()
    {
        return m_minValue;
    }

private:
    int m_minValue;
    std::list m_list;
}

How to scroll HTML page to given anchor?

This is a working script that will scroll the page to the anchor. To setup just give the anchor link an id that matches the name attribute of the anchor that you want to scroll to.

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function ($){ 
 $('a').click(function (){ 
  var id = $(this).attr('id');
  console.log(id);
  if ( id == 'cet' || id == 'protein' ) {
   $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('[name="' + id + '"]').offset().top}, 'slow'); 
  }
 }); 
});
</script>

Better way to sort array in descending order

Depending on the sort order, you can do this :

    int[] array = new int[] { 3, 1, 4, 5, 2 };
    Array.Sort<int>(array,
                    new Comparison<int>(
                            (i1, i2) => i2.CompareTo(i1)
                    ));

... or this :

    int[] array = new int[] { 3, 1, 4, 5, 2 };
    Array.Sort<int>(array,
                    new Comparison<int>(
                            (i1, i2) => i1.CompareTo(i2)
                    ));

i1 and i2 are just reversed.

throw checked Exceptions from mocks with Mockito

A workaround is to use a willAnswer() method.

For example the following works (and doesn't throw a MockitoException but actually throws a checked Exception as required here) using BDDMockito:

given(someObj.someMethod(stringArg1)).willAnswer( invocation -> { throw new Exception("abc msg"); });

The equivalent for plain Mockito would to use the doAnswer method

Why is Java's SimpleDateFormat not thread-safe?

SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner.

From the JavaDoc,

But Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

To make the SimpleDateFormat class thread-safe, look at the following approaches :

  • Create a new SimpleDateFormat instance each time you need to use one. Although this is thread safe, it is the slowest possible approach.
  • Use synchronization. This is a bad idea because you should never choke-point your threads on a server.
  • Use a ThreadLocal. This is the fastest approach of the 3 (see http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/07/java-best-practices-dateformat-in.html).

How to get every first element in 2 dimensional list

You could use this:

a = ((4.0, 4, 4.0), (3.0, 3, 3.6), (3.5, 6, 4.8))
a = np.array(a)
a[:,0]
returns >>> array([4. , 3. , 3.5])

Sequence contains no matching element

For those of you who faced this issue while creating a controller through the context menu, reopening Visual Studio as an administrator fixed it.

How can I do a BEFORE UPDATED trigger with sql server?

MSSQL does not support BEFORE triggers. The closest you have is INSTEAD OF triggers but their behavior is different to that of BEFORE triggers in MySQL.

You can learn more about them here, and note that INSTEAD OF triggers "Specifies that the trigger is executed instead of the triggering SQL statement, thus overriding the actions of the triggering statements." Thus, actions on the update may not take place if the trigger is not properly written/handled. Cascading actions are also affected.

You may instead want to use a different approach to what you are trying to achieve.

jQuery issue in Internet Explorer 8

The solution in my case was to take any special characters out of the URL you're trying to access. I had a tilde (~) and a percentage symbol in there, and the $.get() call failed silently.

How to get the range of occupied cells in excel sheet

These two lines on their own wasnt working for me:

xlWorkSheet.Columns.ClearFormats();
xlWorkSheet.Rows.ClearFormats();

You can test by hitting ctrl+end in the sheet and seeing which cell is selected.

I found that adding this line after the first two solved the problem in all instances I've encountered:

Excel.Range xlActiveRange = WorkSheet.UsedRange;

Convert numpy array to tuple

I was not satisfied, so I finally used this:

>>> a=numpy.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
>>> a
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

>>> tuple(a.reshape(1, -1)[0])
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

I don't know if it's quicker, but it looks more effective ;)

How do I extract data from JSON with PHP?

Consider using JSONPath https://packagist.org/packages/flow/jsonpath

There is a pretty clear explanation of how to use it and parse a JSON-file avoiding all the loops proposed. If you are familiar with XPath for XML you will start loving this approach.

Scala: what is the best way to append an element to an Array?

val array2 = array :+ 4
//Array(1, 2, 3, 4)

Works also "reversed":

val array2 = 4 +: array
Array(4, 1, 2, 3)

There is also an "in-place" version:

var array = Array( 1, 2, 3 )
array +:= 4
//Array(4, 1, 2, 3)
array :+= 0
//Array(4, 1, 2, 3, 0)

Disable Drag and Drop on HTML elements?

Elasticsearch : Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters index : not_analyzed

You're almost here, you're just missing a few things:

PUT /test
{
  "mappings": {
    "type_name": {                <--- add the type name
      "properties": {             <--- enclose all field definitions in "properties"
        "field1": {
          "type": "integer"
        },
        "field2": {
          "type": "integer"
        },
        "field3": {
          "type": "string",
          "index": "not_analyzed"
        },
        "field4,": {
          "type": "string",
          "analyzer": "autocomplete",

        }
      }
    }
  },
  "settings": {
     ...
  }
}

UPDATE

If your index already exists, you can also modify your mappings like this:

PUT test/_mapping/type_name
{
    "properties": {             <--- enclose all field definitions in "properties"
        "field1": {
          "type": "integer"
        },
        "field2": {
          "type": "integer"
        },
        "field3": {
          "type": "string",
          "index": "not_analyzed"
        },
        "field4,": {
          "type": "string",
          "analyzer": "autocomplete",
          "search_analyzer": "standard"
        }
    }
}

UPDATE:

As of ES 7, mapping types have been removed. You can read more details here

How to get value from form field in django framework?

You can do this after you validate your data.

  data = myform.cleaned_data
  field = data['field']

Also, read the django docs. They are perfect.

Yes/No message box using QMessageBox

I'm missing the translation call tr in the answers.

One of the simplest solutions, which allows for later internationalization:

if (QMessageBox::Yes == QMessageBox::question(this,
                                              tr("title"),
                                              tr("Message/Question")))
{
    // do stuff
}

It is generally a good Qt habit to put code-level Strings within a tr("Your String") call.

(QMessagebox as above works within any QWidget method)

EDIT:

you can use QMesssageBox outside a QWidget context, see @TobySpeight's answer.

If you're even outside a QObject context, replace tr with qApp->translate("context", "String") - you'll need to #include <QApplication>

Why am I getting "(304) Not Modified" error on some links when using HttpWebRequest?

This is intended behavior.

When you make an HTTP request, the server normally returns code 200 OK. If you set If-Modified-Since, the server may return 304 Not modified (and the response will not have the content). This is supposed to be your cue that the page has not been modified.

The authors of the class have foolishly decided that 304 should be treated as an error and throw an exception. Now you have to clean up after them by catching the exception every time you try to use If-Modified-Since.

How to get arguments with flags in Bash

If you're familiar with Python argparse, and don't mind calling python to parse bash arguments, there is a piece of code I found really helpful and super easy to use called argparse-bash https://github.com/nhoffman/argparse-bash

Example take from their example.sh script:

#!/bin/bash

source $(dirname $0)/argparse.bash || exit 1
argparse "$@" <<EOF || exit 1
parser.add_argument('infile')
parser.add_argument('outfile')
parser.add_argument('-a', '--the-answer', default=42, type=int,
                    help='Pick a number [default %(default)s]')
parser.add_argument('-d', '--do-the-thing', action='store_true',
                    default=False, help='store a boolean [default %(default)s]')
parser.add_argument('-m', '--multiple', nargs='+',
                    help='multiple values allowed')
EOF

echo required infile: "$INFILE"
echo required outfile: "$OUTFILE"
echo the answer: "$THE_ANSWER"
echo -n do the thing?
if [[ $DO_THE_THING ]]; then
    echo " yes, do it"
else
    echo " no, do not do it"
fi
echo -n "arg with multiple values: "

How to use SearchView in Toolbar Android

You have to use Appcompat library for that. Which is used like below:

dashboard.xml

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
      xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
      xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_search"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
        app:showAsAction="always|collapseActionView"
        app:actionViewClass="androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView"
        android:title="Search"/>
</menu>

Activity file (in Java):

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater menuInflater = getMenuInflater();
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.dashboard, menu);

     MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);

    SearchView searchView = null;
    if (searchItem != null) {
        searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
    }
    if (searchView != null) {
        searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(MainActivity.this.getComponentName()));
    }
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

Activity file (in Kotlin):

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu?): Boolean {
    menuInflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_search, menu)

    val searchItem: MenuItem? = menu?.findItem(R.id.action_search)
    val searchManager = getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE) as SearchManager
    val searchView: SearchView? = searchItem?.actionView as SearchView

    searchView?.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(componentName))
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu)
}

manifest file:

<meta-data 
      android:name="android.app.default_searchable" 
      android:value="com.apkgetter.SearchResultsActivity" /> 

        <activity
            android:name="com.apkgetter.SearchResultsActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:launchMode="singleTop" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            </intent-filter>

            <meta-data
                android:name="android.app.searchable"
                android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
        </activity>

searchable xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:hint="@string/search_hint"
    android:label="@string/app_name" />

And at last, your SearchResultsActivity class code. for showing result of your search.

AttributeError: 'datetime' module has no attribute 'strptime'

If I had to guess, you did this:

import datetime

at the top of your code. This means that you have to do this:

datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

to access the strptime method. Or, you could change the import statement to this:

from datetime import datetime

and access it as you are.

The people who made the datetime module also named their class datetime:

#module  class    method
datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d")

Change image size with JavaScript

Changing an image is easy, but how do you change it back to the original size after it has been changed? You may try this to change all images in a document back to the original size:

var i,L=document.images.length;
for(i=0;i<L;++i){
 document.images[i].style.height = 'auto'; //setting CSS value
 document.images[i].style.width = 'auto'; //setting CSS value
// document.images[i].height = ''; (don't need this, would be setting img.attribute)
// document.images[i].width = ''; (don't need this, would be setting img.attribute)
}

start MySQL server from command line on Mac OS Lion

If you installed it with homebrew, the binary will be somewhere like

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.10/bin/mysqld

which means you can start it with

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.10/support-files/mysql.server start

and stop it with

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.6.10/support-files/mysql.server stop

Edit: As Jacob Raccuia mentioned, make sure you put the appropriate version of MySQL in the path.

Difference between View and table in sql

SQL Views:

View is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement and that is Stored in the database with some name.

SQL Table:

SQL table is database instance consists of fields (columns), and rows.

DataGridView checkbox column - value and functionality

If your column has been already created due to binding with a recordset of BIT type, the type of the column will be text anyway. The solution I have found is to remove that column and replace it with a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn having the same binding data.

DataGridViewColumn oldCol = dgViewCategory.Columns["mycolumn"];
int chkIdx = oldCol.Index;
DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn chkCol = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
chkCol.HeaderText = oldCol.HeaderText;
chkCol.FalseValue = "False";
chkCol.TrueValue = "True";
chkCol.DataPropertyName = oldCol.DataPropertyName;
chkCol.Name = oldCol.Name;
dgViewCategory.Columns.RemoveAt(chkIdx);
dgViewCategory.Columns.Insert(chkIdx, chkCol);

Git, fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Culprit (in my case):
A high-latency network.

This is not an answer per se but more of an observation that may help others. I found that this error pops up occasionally on high-latency networks (I have to use a Satellite dish for internet access for example). The speed of the network is fine, but the latency can be high. Note: The problem only exists in certain scenarios, but I have not determined what the pattern is.

Temporary mitigation:
I switched networks—I moved to a slower, but lower latency cell network (my phone used as a hotspot)—and the problem disappeared. Note that I can only do this itermittently because my cell connectivity is also intermittent. Plus the bandwidth usage adds costs. I'm also lucky that I have this option available to me. Not everyone does.

I'm sure there is some configuration setting somewhere that makes git—or ssh or curl or whatever times out first—more tolerant of such networks, but I don't know what it is.

A plea to developers:
These kinds of issues are a constant problem for rural populations. Please think of us when you design your systems, tools, and applications. Thank you.

how to toggle attr() in jquery

$(':submit').attr('disabled', function(_, attr){ return !attr});

Reading data from a website using C#

The WebClient class should be more than capable of handling the functionality you describe, for example:

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
byte[] raw = wc.DownloadData("http://www.yoursite.com/resource/file.htm");

string webData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(raw);

or (further to suggestion from Fredrick in comments)

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
string webData = wc.DownloadString("http://www.yoursite.com/resource/file.htm");

When you say it took 30 seconds, can you expand on that a little more? There are many reasons as to why that could have happened. Slow servers, internet connections, dodgy implementation etc etc.

You could go a level lower and implement something like this:

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.yoursite.com/resource/file.htm");

using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(webRequest.GetRequestStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
{
    streamWriter.Write(requestData);
}

string responseData = string.Empty;
HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
    responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
}

However, at the end of the day the WebClient class wraps up this functionality for you. So I would suggest that you use WebClient and investigate the causes of the 30 second delay.

Getting the difference between two Dates (months/days/hours/minutes/seconds) in Swift

For XCode Version 8.3.3 & Swift 3.0:

    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateStyle = .medium
    dateFormatter.timeStyle = .short

    var beginDate = "2017-08-24 12:00:00"
    var endDate = "2017-09-07 12:00:00"


    let startDateTime = dateFormatter.date(from: beginDate) //according to date format your date string
    print(startDateTime ?? "") //Convert String to Date

    let endDateTime = dateFormatter.date(from: endDate) //according to date format your date string
    print(endDateTime ?? "") //Convert String to Date

    let dateComponentsFormatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
    dateComponentsFormatter.allowedUnits = [NSCalendar.Unit.minute,NSCalendar.Unit.hour,NSCalendar.Unit.day]


   let interval = endDateTime!.timeIntervalSince(startDateTime!)
   var diff = dateComponentsFormatter.string(from: interval)!

   print(diff)

   var day_i  = 0
   var hour_i = 0
   var min_i = 0


     if (diff.contains("d"))
       {
              let day = diff.substring(to: (diff.range(of: "d")?.lowerBound)!)

               day_i  = Int(day)!
               print ("day --> \(day_i)")

               diff = diff.substring(from:(diff.range(of : " ")?.upperBound )!)
               print(diff)
       }


       let hour = diff.substring(to: (diff.range(of : ":")?.lowerBound )!)
       hour_i  = Int(hour)!
       print ("hour --> \(hour_i)")

       let min = diff.substring(from: (diff.range(of : ":")?.upperBound )!)
       min_i  = Int(min)!
       print ("min --> \(min_i)")

Mutex example / tutorial?

The function pthread_mutex_lock() either acquires the mutex for the calling thread or blocks the thread until the mutex can be acquired. The related pthread_mutex_unlock() releases the mutex.

Think of the mutex as a queue; every thread that attempts to acquire the mutex will be placed on the end of the queue. When a thread releases the mutex, the next thread in the queue comes off and is now running.

A critical section refers to a region of code where non-determinism is possible. Often this because multiple threads are attempting to access a shared variable. The critical section is not safe until some sort of synchronization is in place. A mutex lock is one form of synchronization.

Jquery function return value

The return statement you have is stuck in the inner function, so it won't return from the outer function. You just need a little more code:

function getMachine(color, qty) {
    var returnValue = null;
    $("#getMachine li").each(function() {
        var thisArray = $(this).text().split("~");
        if(thisArray[0] == color&& qty>= parseInt(thisArray[1]) && qty<= parseInt(thisArray[2])) {
            returnValue = thisArray[3];
            return false; // this breaks out of the each
        }
    });
    return returnValue;
}

var retval = getMachine(color, qty);

Is key-value observation (KVO) available in Swift?

In addition to Rob's answer. That class must inherit from NSObject, and we have 3 ways to trigger property change

Use setValue(value: AnyObject?, forKey key: String) from NSKeyValueCoding

class MyObjectToObserve: NSObject {
    var myDate = NSDate()
    func updateDate() {
        setValue(NSDate(), forKey: "myDate")
    }
}

Use willChangeValueForKey and didChangeValueForKey from NSKeyValueObserving

class MyObjectToObserve: NSObject {
    var myDate = NSDate()
    func updateDate() {
        willChangeValueForKey("myDate")
        myDate = NSDate()
        didChangeValueForKey("myDate")
    }
}

Use dynamic. See Swift Type Compatibility

You can also use the dynamic modifier to require that access to members be dynamically dispatched through the Objective-C runtime if you’re using APIs like key–value observing that dynamically replace the implementation of a method.

class MyObjectToObserve: NSObject {
    dynamic var myDate = NSDate()
    func updateDate() {
        myDate = NSDate()
    }
}

And property getter and setter is called when used. You can verify when working with KVO. This is an example of computed property

class MyObjectToObserve: NSObject {
    var backing: NSDate = NSDate()
    dynamic var myDate: NSDate {
        set {
            print("setter is called")
            backing = newValue
        }
        get {
            print("getter is called")
            return backing
        }
    }
}

How to retrieve form values from HTTPPOST, dictionary or?

Simply, you can use FormCollection like:

[HttpPost] 
public ActionResult SubmitAction(FormCollection collection)
{
     // Get Post Params Here
 string var1 = collection["var1"];
}

You can also use a class, that is mapped with Form values, and asp.net mvc engine automagically fills it:

//Defined in another file
class MyForm
{
  public string var1 { get; set; }
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SubmitAction(MyForm form)
{      
  string var1 = form1.Var1;
}

SQL Server : error converting data type varchar to numeric

There's no guarantee that SQL Server won't attempt to perform the CONVERT to numeric(20,0) before it runs the filter in the WHERE clause.

And, even if it did, ISNUMERIC isn't adequate, since it recognises £ and 1d4 as being numeric, neither of which can be converted to numeric(20,0).(*)

Split it into two separate queries, the first of which filters the results and places them in a temp table or table variable, the second of which performs the conversion. (Subqueries and CTEs are inadequate to prevent the optimizer from attempting the conversion before the filter)

For your filter, probably use account_code not like '%[^0-9]%' instead of ISNUMERIC.


(*) ISNUMERIC answers the question that no-one (so far as I'm aware) has ever wanted to ask - "can this string be converted to any of the numeric datatypes - I don't care which?" - when obviously, what most people want to ask is "can this string be converted to x?" where x is a specific target datatype.

How do I reference a cell within excel named range?

Add a column to the left so that B10 to B20 is your named range Age.

Set A10 to A20 so that A10 = 1, A11= 2,... A20 = 11 and give the range A10 to A20 a name e.g. AgeIndex.

The 5th element can be then found by using an array formula:

=sum( Age * (1 * (AgeIndex = 5) )

As it's an array formula you'll need to press Ctrl + Shift + Return to make it work and not just return. Doing that, the formula will be turned into an array formula:

{=sum( Age * (1 * (AgeIndex = 5) )}

Removing leading zeroes from a field in a SQL statement

you can try this SELECT REPLACE(columnname,'0','') FROM table

Should I Dispose() DataSet and DataTable?

If your intention or the context of this question is really garbage collection, then you can set the datasets and datatables to null explicitly or use the keyword using and let them go out of scope. Dispose does not do much as Tetraneutron said it earlier. GC will collect dataset objects that are no longer referenced and also those that are out of scope.

I really wish SO forced people down voting to actually write a comment before downvoting the answer.

What does character set and collation mean exactly?

From MySQL docs:

A character set is a set of symbols and encodings. A collation is a set of rules for comparing characters in a character set. Let's make the distinction clear with an example of an imaginary character set.

Suppose that we have an alphabet with four letters: 'A', 'B', 'a', 'b'. We give each letter a number: 'A' = 0, 'B' = 1, 'a' = 2, 'b' = 3. The letter 'A' is a symbol, the number 0 is the encoding for 'A', and the combination of all four letters and their encodings is a character set.

Now, suppose that we want to compare two string values, 'A' and 'B'. The simplest way to do this is to look at the encodings: 0 for 'A' and 1 for 'B'. Because 0 is less than 1, we say 'A' is less than 'B'. Now, what we've just done is apply a collation to our character set. The collation is a set of rules (only one rule in this case): "compare the encodings." We call this simplest of all possible collations a binary collation.

But what if we want to say that the lowercase and uppercase letters are equivalent? Then we would have at least two rules: (1) treat the lowercase letters 'a' and 'b' as equivalent to 'A' and 'B'; (2) then compare the encodings. We call this a case-insensitive collation. It's a little more complex than a binary collation.

In real life, most character sets have many characters: not just 'A' and 'B' but whole alphabets, sometimes multiple alphabets or eastern writing systems with thousands of characters, along with many special symbols and punctuation marks. Also in real life, most collations have many rules: not just case insensitivity but also accent insensitivity (an "accent" is a mark attached to a character as in German 'ö') and multiple-character mappings (such as the rule that 'ö' = 'OE' in one of the two German collations).

How to convert std::string to LPCSTR?

Call c_str() to get a const char * (LPCSTR) from a std::string.

It's all in the name:

LPSTR - (long) pointer to string - char *

LPCSTR - (long) pointer to constant string - const char *

LPWSTR - (long) pointer to Unicode (wide) string - wchar_t *

LPCWSTR - (long) pointer to constant Unicode (wide) string - const wchar_t *

LPTSTR - (long) pointer to TCHAR (Unicode if UNICODE is defined, ANSI if not) string - TCHAR *

LPCTSTR - (long) pointer to constant TCHAR string - const TCHAR *

You can ignore the L (long) part of the names -- it's a holdover from 16-bit Windows.

'const string' vs. 'static readonly string' in C#

const

public const string MyStr;

is a compile time constant (you can use it as the default parameter for a method parameter for example), and it will not be obfuscated if you use such technology

static readonly

public static readonly string MyStr;

is runtime constant. It means that it is evaluated when the application is launched and not before. This is why it can't be used as the default parameter for a method (compilation error) for example. The value stored in it can be obfuscated.

What is the difference between compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion?

I see a lot of differences about compiledSdkVersion in previous answers, so I'll try to clarify a bit here, following android's web page.

A - What Android says

According https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html:

Selecting a platform version and API Level When you are developing your application, you will need to choose the platform version against which you will compile the application. In general, you should compile your application against the lowest possible version of the platform that your application can support.

So, this would be the right order according to Android:

compiledSdkVersion = minSdkVersion <= targetSdkVersion

B - What others also say

Some people prefer to always use the highest compiledSkdVersion available. It is because they will rely on code hints to check if they are using newer API features than minSdkVersion, thus either changing the code to not use them or checking the user API version at runtime to conditionally use them with fallbacks for older API versions.

Hints about deprecated uses would also appear in code, letting you know that something is deprecated in newer API levels, so you can react accordingly if you wish.

So, this would be the right order according to others:

minSdkVersion <= targetSdkVersion <= compiledSdkVersion (highest possible)

What to do?

It depends on you and your app.

If you plan to offer different API features according to the API level of the user at runtime, use option B. You'll get hints about the features you use while coding. Just make sure you never use newer API features than minSdkVersion without checking user API level at runtime, otherwise your app will crash. This approach also has the benefit of learning what's new and what's old while coding.

If you already know what's new or old and you are developing a one time app that for sure will never be updated, or you are sure you are not going to offer new API features conditionally, then use option A. You won't get bothered with deprecated hints and you will never be able to use newer API features even if you're tempted to do it.

How to determine if a String has non-alphanumeric characters?

If you can use the Apache Commons library, then Commons-Lang StringUtils has a method called isAlphanumeric() that does what you're looking for.

how to check for datatype in node js- specifically for integer

Your logic is correct but you have 2 mistakes apparently everyone missed:

just change if(Number(i) = 'NaN') to if(Number(i) == NaN)

NaN is a constant and you should use double equality signs to compare, a single one is used to assign values to variables.

How do I convert from int to String?

The other way I am aware of is from the Integer class:

Integer.toString(int n);
Integer.toString(int n, int radix);

A concrete example (though I wouldn't think you need any):

String five = Integer.toString(5); // returns "5"

It also works for other primitive types, for instance Double.toString.

See here for more details.

How to customize listview using baseadapter

public class ListElementAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

    String[] data;
    Context context;
    LayoutInflater layoutInflater;


    public ListElementAdapter(String[] data, Context context) {
        super();
        this.data = data;
        this.context = context;
        layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {

        return data.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {

        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {


        convertView= layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.item, null);

        TextView txt=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);

        txt.setText(data[position]);



        return convertView;
    }
}

Just call ListElementAdapter in your Main Activity and set Adapter to ListView.

easyest way to redirect http to https in wordpress it to modify site_url and home from http://example.com to https://example.com. Wordpress will do the redirection. ( that is why you get "too many redirects" error, wordpress is redirecting to http while .htaccess will redirect to https )

How to list all Git tags?

Listing the available tags in Git is straightforward. Just type git tag (with optional -l or --list).

$ git tag
v5.5
v6.5

You can also search for tags that match a particular pattern.

$ git tag -l "v1.8.5*"
v1.8.5
v1.8.5-rc0
v1.8.5-rc1
v1.8.5-rc2

Getting latest tag on git repository

The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit. If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown. Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.

git describe

With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:

git describe --abbrev=0

Other examples:

git describe --abbrev=0 --tags # gets tag from current branch
git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1` // gets tags across all branches, not just the current branch

How to prune local git tags that don't exist on remote

To put it simple, if you are trying to do something like git fetch -p -t, it will not work starting with git version 1.9.4.

However, there is a simple workaround that still works in latest versions:

git tag -l | xargs git tag -d  // remove all local tags
git fetch -t                   // fetch remote tags

How to add bootstrap in angular 6 project?

using command

npm install bootstrap --save

open .angular.json old (.angular-cli.json ) file find the "styles" add the bootstrap css file

       "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],

how to delete all commit history in github?

If you are sure you want to remove all commit history, simply delete the .git directory in your project root (note that it's hidden). Then initialize a new repository in the same folder and link it to the GitHub repository:

git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:user/repo

now commit your current version of code

git add *
git commit -am 'message'

and finally force the update to GitHub:

git push -f origin master

However, I suggest backing up the history (the .git folder in the repository) before taking these steps!

How do I set log4j level on the command line?

As part of your jvm arguments you can set -Dlog4j.configuration=file:"<FILE_PATH>". Where FILE_PATH is the path of your log4j.properties file.

Please note that as of log4j2, the new system variable to use is log4j.configurationFile and you put in the actual path to the file (i.e. without the file: prefix) and it will automatically load the factory based on the extension of the configuration file:

-Dlog4j.configurationFile=/path/to/log4jconfig.{ext}

Converting characters to integers in Java

Try any one of the below. These should work:

int a = Character.getNumericValue('3');
int a = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf('3');

C++: How to round a double to an int?

It is worth noting that what you're doing isn't rounding, it's casting. Casting using (int) x truncates the decimal value of x. As in your example, if x = 3.9995, the .9995 gets truncated and x = 3.

As proposed by many others, one solution is to add 0.5 to x, and then cast.

Android: set view style programmatically

Non of the provided answers are correct.

You CAN set style programatically.

Short answer is take a look at http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/5.1.1_r1/android/content/Context.java#435

Long answer. Here's my snippet to set custom defined style programatically to your view:

1) Create a style in your styles.xml file

 <style name="MyStyle">
    <item name="customTextColor">#39445B</item>
    <item name="customDividerColor">#8D5AA8</item>
</style>

Do not forget to define your custom attributes in attrs.xml file

My attrsl.xml file:

<declare-styleable name="CustomWidget">
    <attr name="customTextColor" format="color" />
    <attr name="customDividerColor" format="color" />
</declare-styleable>

Notice you can use any name for your styleable (my CustomWidget)

Now lets set the style to the widget Programatically Here's My simple widget:

public class StyleableWidget extends LinearLayout {

private final StyleLoader styleLoader = new StyleLoader();

private TextView textView;
private View divider;

public StyleableWidget(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init();
}

private void init() {
    inflate(getContext(), R.layout.widget_styleable, this);
    textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
    divider = findViewById(R.id.divider);
    setOrientation(VERTICAL);
}

protected void apply(StyleLoader.StyleAttrs styleAttrs) {
    textView.setTextColor(styleAttrs.textColor);
    divider.setBackgroundColor(styleAttrs.dividerColor);
}

public void setStyle(@StyleRes int style) {
    apply(styleLoader.load(getContext(), style));
}
}

layout:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/text_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="22sp"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/styleble_title" />

<View
    android:id="@+id/divider"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"/>

</merge>

And finally StyleLoader class implementation

public class StyleLoader {

public StyleLoader() {

}

public static class StyleAttrs {
    public int textColor;
    public int dividerColor;
}

public StyleAttrs load(Context context, @StyleRes int styleResId) {
    final TypedArray styledAttributes = context.obtainStyledAttributes(styleResId, R.styleable.CustomWidget);
    return load(styledAttributes);
}

@NonNull
private StyleAttrs load(TypedArray styledAttributes) {
    StyleAttrs styleAttrs = new StyleAttrs();
    try {
        styleAttrs.textColor = styledAttributes.getColor(R.styleable.CustomWidget_customTextColor, 0);
        styleAttrs.dividerColor = styledAttributes.getColor(R.styleable.CustomWidget_customDividerColor, 0);
    } finally {
        styledAttributes.recycle();
    }
    return styleAttrs;
}
}

You can find fully working example at https://github.com/Defuera/SetStylableProgramatically

Removing NA in dplyr pipe

I don't think desc takes an na.rm argument... I'm actually surprised it doesn't throw an error when you give it one. If you just want to remove NAs, use na.omit (base) or tidyr::drop_na:

outcome.df %>%
  na.omit() %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

library(tidyr)
outcome.df %>%
  drop_na() %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

If you only want to remove NAs from the HeartAttackDeath column, filter with is.na, or use tidyr::drop_na:

outcome.df %>%
  filter(!is.na(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

outcome.df %>%
  drop_na(HeartAttackDeath) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

As pointed out at the dupe, complete.cases can also be used, but it's a bit trickier to put in a chain because it takes a data frame as an argument but returns an index vector. So you could use it like this:

outcome.df %>%
  filter(complete.cases(.)) %>%
  group_by(Hospital, State) %>%
  arrange(desc(HeartAttackDeath)) %>%
  head()

What is the difference between print and puts?

A big difference is if you are displaying arrays. Especially ones with NIL. For example:

print [nil, 1, 2]

gives

[nil, 1, 2]

but

puts [nil, 1, 2]

gives

1
2

Note, no appearing nil item (just a blank line) and each item on a different line.

OpenSSL Command to check if a server is presenting a certificate

I encountered the write:errno=104 attempting to test connecting to an SSL-enabled RabbitMQ broker port with openssl s_client.

The issue turned out to be simply that the user RabbitMQ was running as did not have read permissions on the certificate file. There was little-to-no useful logging in RabbitMQ.

How to return PDF to browser in MVC?

FileStreamResult certainly works. But if you look at the Microsoft Docs, it inherits from ActionResult -> FileResult, which has another derived class FileContentResult. It "sends the contents of a binary file to the response". So if you already have the byte[], you should just use FileContentResult instead.

public ActionResult DisplayPDF()
{
    byte[] byteArray = GetPdfFromWhatever();

    return new FileContentResult(byteArray, "application/pdf");
}

link_to image tag. how to add class to a tag

I tried this too, and works very well:

      <%= link_to home_index_path do %>
      <div class='logo-container'>
        <div class='logo'>
          <%= image_tag('bar.ico') %>
        </div>
        <div class='brand' style='font-size: large;'>
          .BAR
        </div>
      </div>
      <% end %>

Make an HTTP request with android

unless you have an explicit reason to choose the Apache HttpClient, you should prefer java.net.URLConnection. you can find plenty of examples of how to use it on the web.

we've also improved the Android documentation since your original post: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html

and we've talked about the trade-offs on the official blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/09/androids-http-clients.html

Grep and Python

Concise and memory efficient:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# file: grep.py
import re, sys

map(sys.stdout.write,(l for l in sys.stdin if re.search(sys.argv[1],l)))

It works like egrep (without too much error handling), e.g.:

cat input-file | grep.py "RE"

And here is the one-liner:

cat input-file | python -c "import re,sys;map(sys.stdout.write,(l for l in sys.stdin if re.search(sys.argv[1],l)))" "RE"

Fill an array with random numbers

You can call the randomFill() method in a loop and fill your array in the main() method like this.

public static void main(String args[]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < anArray.length; i++) {
        anArray[i] = randomFill();
    }
}

You would then need to use rand.nextDouble() in your randomFill() method the array to be filled is a double array. The below snippet should help you get random double values to be filled into your array.

double randomDoubleValue = rand.nextDouble();
return randomDoubleValue;

Detect URLs in text with JavaScript

Based on Crescent Fresh answer

if you want to detect links with http:// OR without http:// and by www. you can use the following

function urlify(text) {
    var urlRegex = /(((https?:\/\/)|(www\.))[^\s]+)/g;
    //var urlRegex = /(https?:\/\/[^\s]+)/g;
    return text.replace(urlRegex, function(url,b,c) {
        var url2 = (c == 'www.') ?  'http://' +url : url;
        return '<a href="' +url2+ '" target="_blank">' + url + '</a>';
    }) 
}

Why does foo = filter(...) return a <filter object>, not a list?

the reason why it returns < filter object > is that, filter is class instead of built-in function.

help(filter) you will get following: Help on class filter in module builtins:

class filter(object)
 |  filter(function or None, iterable) --> filter object
 |  
 |  Return an iterator yielding those items of iterable for which function(item)
 |  is true. If function is None, return the items that are true.
 |  
 |  Methods defined here:
 |  
 |  __getattribute__(self, name, /)
 |      Return getattr(self, name).
 |  
 |  __iter__(self, /)
 |      Implement iter(self).
 |  
 |  __new__(*args, **kwargs) from builtins.type
 |      Create and return a new object.  See help(type) for accurate signature.
 |  
 |  __next__(self, /)
 |      Implement next(self).
 |  
 |  __reduce__(...)
 |      Return state information for pickling.

How to launch Safari and open URL from iOS app

Because this answer is deprecated since iOS 10.0, a better answer would be:

if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}else{
    UIApplication.shared.openURL(url)
}

y en Objective-c

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:@"url string" options:@{} completionHandler:^(BOOL success) {
        if (success) {
            NSLog(@"Opened url");
        }

Declare Variable for a Query String

It's possible, but it requires using dynamic SQL.
I recommend reading The curse and blessings of dynamic SQL before continuing...

DECLARE @theDate varchar(60)
SET @theDate = '''2010-01-01'' AND ''2010-08-31 23:59:59'''

DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(MAX)  
SET @SQL = 'SELECT AdministratorCode, 
                   SUM(Total) as theTotal, 
                   SUM(WOD.Quantity) as theQty, 
                   AVG(Total) as avgTotal, 
                  (SELECT SUM(tblWOD.Amount)
                     FROM tblWOD
                     JOIN tblWO on tblWOD.OrderID = tblWO.ID
                    WHERE tblWO.Approved = ''1''
                      AND tblWO.AdministratorCode = tblWO.AdministratorCode
                      AND tblWO.OrderDate BETWEEN '+ @theDate +')'

EXEC(@SQL)

Dynamic SQL is just a SQL statement, composed as a string before being executed. So the usual string concatenation occurs. Dynamic SQL is required whenever you want to do something in SQL syntax that isn't allowed, like:

  • a single parameter to represent comma separated list of values for an IN clause
  • a variable to represent both value and SQL syntax (IE: the example you provided)

EXEC sp_executesql allows you to use bind/preparedstatement parameters so you don't have to concern yourself with escaping single quotes/etc for SQL injection attacks.

How to download a file with Node.js (without using third-party libraries)?

You can try using res.redirect to the https file download url, and then it will be downloading the file.

Like: res.redirect('https//static.file.com/file.txt');

How to file split at a line number

file_name=test.log

# set first K lines:
K=1000

# line count (N): 
N=$(wc -l < $file_name)

# length of the bottom file:
L=$(( $N - $K ))

# create the top of file: 
head -n $K $file_name > top_$file_name

# create bottom of file: 
tail -n $L $file_name > bottom_$file_name

Also, on second thought, split will work in your case, since the first split is larger than the second. Split puts the balance of the input into the last split, so

split -l 300000 file_name

will output xaa with 300k lines and xab with 100k lines, for an input with 400k lines.

Difference between Interceptor and Filter in Spring MVC

Filter: - A filter as the name suggests is a Java class executed by the servlet container for each incoming HTTP request and for each http response. This way, is possible to manage HTTP incoming requests before them reach the resource, such as a JSP page, a servlet or a simple static page; in the same way is possible to manage HTTP outbound response after resource execution.

Interceptor: - Spring Interceptors are similar to Servlet Filters but they acts in Spring Context so are many powerful to manage HTTP Request and Response but they can implement more sophisticated behavior because can access to all Spring context.

Flutter - Wrap text on overflow, like insert ellipsis or fade

You can use this code snipped to show text with ellipsis

Text(
    "Introduction to Very very very long text",
    maxLines: 1,
    overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
    softWrap: false,
    style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
),

Ignore Typescript Errors "property does not exist on value of type"

I know the question is already closed but I've found it searching for same TypeScriptException, maybe some one else hit this question searching for this problem.

The problem lays in missing TypeScript typing:

var coordinates = outerElement[0].getBBox();

Throws The property 'getBBox' does not exist on value of type 'HTMLElement'.


The easiest way is to explicitly type variable as `any`
var outerHtmlElement: any = outerElement[0];
var coordinates = outerHtmlElement.getBBox();

Edit, late 2016

Since TypeScript 1.6, the prefered casting operator is as, so those lines can be squashed into:

let coordinates = (outerElement[0] as any).getBBox();


Other solutions

Of course if you'd like to do it right, which is an overkill sometimes, you can:

  1. Create own interface which simply extends HTMLElement
  2. Introduce own typing which extends HTMLElement

Change the mouse pointer using JavaScript

Javascript is pretty good at manipulating css.

 document.body.style.cursor = *cursor-url*;
 //OR
 var elementToChange = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
 elementToChange.style.cursor = "url('cursor url with protocol'), auto";

or with jquery:

$("html").css("cursor: url('cursor url with protocol'), auto");

Firefox will not work unless you specify a default cursor after the imaged one!

other cursor keywords

Also remember that IE6 only supports .cur and .ani cursors.

If cursor doesn't change: In case you are moving the element under the cursor relative to the cursor position (e.g. element dragging) you have to force a redraw on the element:

// in plain js
document.getElementById('parentOfElementToBeRedrawn').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('parentOfElementToBeRedrawn').style.display = 'block';
// in jquery
$('#parentOfElementToBeRedrawn').hide().show(0);

working sample:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    background-color: red;
}

</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.js"></script></head>

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource- AngularJS

This is a CORS issue. There are some settings you can change in angular - these are the ones I typically set in the Angular .config method (not all are related to CORS):

$httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
$httpProvider.defaults.withCredentials = true;
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common["X-Requested-With"];
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common["Accept"] = "application/json";
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common["Content-Type"] = "application/json";

You also need to configure your webservice - the details of this will depend on the server side language you are using. If you use a network monitoring tool you will see it sends an OPTIONS request initially. Your server needs to respond appropriately to allow the CORS request.

The reason it works in your brower is because it isn't make a cross-origin request - whereas your Angular code is.

How can I run an EXE program from a Windows Service using C#?

you can use from windows task scheduler for this purpose, there are many libraries like TaskScheduler that help you.

for example consider we want to scheduling a task that will executes once five seconds later:

using (var ts = new TaskService())
        {

            var t = ts.Execute("notepad.exe")
                .Once()
                .Starting(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(5))
                .AsTask("myTask");

        }

notepad.exe will be executed five seconds later.

if you know which class and method in that assembly you need, you can invoke it yourself like this:

        Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("yourApp.exe");
        Type[] types = assembly.GetTypes();
        foreach (Type t in types)
        {
            if (t.Name == "YourClass")
            {
                MethodInfo method = t.GetMethod("YourMethod",
                BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
                if (method != null)
                {
                    ParameterInfo[] parameters = method.GetParameters();
                    object classInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(t, null);

                    var result = method.Invoke(classInstance, parameters.Length == 0 ? null : parameters);
                    
                    break;
                }
            }
                         
        }
    

Android ADB devices unauthorized

2- Disconnect USB connection
3- adb kill-server
4- Revoke USB debugging authorizations (in developer option)
5- Reconnect the device to the Ma
6- adb devices

update columns values with column of another table based on condition

This will surely work:

How can I convert bigint (UNIX timestamp) to datetime in SQL Server?

Better? This function converts unixtime in milliseconds to datetime. It's lost milliseconds, but still very useful for filtering.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[UnixTimestampToGMTDatetime] 
(@UnixTimestamp bigint)
RETURNS datetime
AS
BEGIN
       DECLARE @GMTDatetime datetime
       select @GMTDatetime = 
       CASE
       WHEN dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01') 
       BETWEEN 
           Convert(DATETIME, Convert(VARCHAR(4), Year(dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01') )) + '-03-' + Convert(VARCHAR(2), (31 - (5 * Year(dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01') )/4 + 4) % 7)) + ' 01:00:00', 20)
       AND
           Convert(DATETIME, Convert(VARCHAR(4), Year(dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01') )) + '-10-' + Convert(VARCHAR(2), (31 - (5 * Year(dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01') )/4 + 1) % 7)) + ' 02:00:00', 20)
       THEN Dateadd(hh, 1, dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01'))
       ELSE Dateadd(hh, 0, dateadd(ss, @UnixTimestamp/1000, '1970-01-01'))
       END
RETURN @GMTDatetime    
END

Difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone()

One other difference not mentioned so far is that

  • with Clone() the destination array need not exist yet since a new one is created from scratch.
  • with CopyTo() not only does the destination array need to already exist, it needs to be large enough to hold all the elements in the source array from the index you specify as the destination.

How do I calculate percentiles with python/numpy?

To calculate the percentile of a series, run:

from scipy.stats import rankdata
import numpy as np

def calc_percentile(a, method='min'):
    if isinstance(a, list):
        a = np.asarray(a)
    return rankdata(a, method=method) / float(len(a))

For example:

Getting return value from stored procedure in C#

You have mixed up the concept of the Return Value and Output variable. 1- Output Variable:

Database----->:
create proc MySP
@a varchar(50),
@b varchar(50) output
AS
SET @Password = 
(SELECT Password
FROM dbo.tblUser
WHERE Login = @a)

C# ----->:

SqlConn.Open();
sqlcomm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@a", SqlDbType.VarChar);
param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;//This is optional because Input is the default

param.Value = Username;
sqlcomm.Parameters.Add(param);

SqlParameter outputval = sqlcomm.Parameters.Add("@b", SqlDbType.VarChar);
outputval .Direction = ParameterDirection.Output//NOT ReturnValue;


string outputvalue = sqlcomm.Parameters["@b"].Value.ToString();

How do I check if a string contains another string in Swift?

Of all of the answers here, I think they either don't work, or they're a bit of a hack (casting back to NSString). It's very likely that the correct answer to this has changed with the different beta releases.

Here is what I use:

let string: String = "hello Swift"
if string.rangeOfString("Swift") != nil
{
    println("exists")
}

The "!= nil" became required with Beta 5.

Set custom attribute using JavaScript

Use the setAttribute method:

document.getElementById('item1').setAttribute('data', "icon: 'base2.gif', url: 'output.htm', target: 'AccessPage', output: '1'");

But you really should be using data followed with a dash and with its property, like:

<li ... data-icon="base.gif" ...>

And to do it in JS use the dataset property:

document.getElementById('item1').dataset.icon = "base.gif";

Difference between Console.Read() and Console.ReadLine()?

Difference between Read(),Readline() and ReadKey() in C#

Read()-Accept the string value and return the string value. Readline() -Accept the string and return Integer ReadKey() -Accept the character and return Character

Summary:

1.The above mentioned three methods are mainly used in Console application and these are used for return the different values . 2.If we use Read line or Read() we need press Enter button to come back to code. 3.If we using Read key() we can press any key to come back code in application

how to get all child list from Firebase android

I did something like this :

Firebase ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL);
ref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {

@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) {
    Map<String, Object> objectMap = (HashMap<String, Object>)    
             dataSnapshot.getValue();
    List<Match> = new ArrayList<Match>();
    for (Object obj : objectMap.values()) {
        if (obj instanceof Map) {
            Map<String, Object> mapObj = (Map<String, Object>) obj;
            Match match = new Match();
            match.setSport((String) mapObj.get(Constants.SPORT));
            match.setPlayingWith((String) mapObj.get(Constants.PLAYER));
            list.add(match);
        }
    }
  }
  @Override
  public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {

  }
});

How do I set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY for specific repos only?

You can do

git config http.sslVerify "false"

in your specific repo to disable SSL certificate checking for that repo only.

Catching KeyboardInterrupt in Python during program shutdown

Checkout this thread, it has some useful information about exiting and tracebacks.

If you are more interested in just killing the program, try something like this (this will take the legs out from under the cleanup code as well):

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Interrupted')
        try:
            sys.exit(0)
        except SystemExit:
            os._exit(0)

Cannot overwrite model once compiled Mongoose

For all people ending here because of a codebase with a mix of Typegoose and Mongoose :

Create a db connection for each one :

Mongoose :

module.exports = db_mongoose.model("Car", CarSchema);

Typegoose :

db_typegoose.model("Car", CarModel.schema, "cars");

Combining two expressions (Expression<Func<T, bool>>)

If you provider does not support Invoke and you need to combine two expression, you can use an ExpressionVisitor to replace the parameter in the second expression by the parameter in the first expression.

class ParameterUpdateVisitor : ExpressionVisitor
{
    private ParameterExpression _oldParameter;
    private ParameterExpression _newParameter;

    public ParameterUpdateVisitor(ParameterExpression oldParameter, ParameterExpression newParameter)
    {
        _oldParameter = oldParameter;
        _newParameter = newParameter;
    }

    protected override Expression VisitParameter(ParameterExpression node)
    {
        if (object.ReferenceEquals(node, _oldParameter))
            return _newParameter;

        return base.VisitParameter(node);
    }
}

static Expression<Func<T, bool>> UpdateParameter<T>(
    Expression<Func<T, bool>> expr,
    ParameterExpression newParameter)
{
    var visitor = new ParameterUpdateVisitor(expr.Parameters[0], newParameter);
    var body = visitor.Visit(expr.Body);

    return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>(body, newParameter);
}

[TestMethod]
public void ExpressionText()
{
    string text = "test";

    Expression<Func<Coco, bool>> expr1 = p => p.Item1.Contains(text);
    Expression<Func<Coco, bool>> expr2 = q => q.Item2.Contains(text);
    Expression<Func<Coco, bool>> expr3 = UpdateParameter(expr2, expr1.Parameters[0]);

    var expr4 = Expression.Lambda<Func<Recording, bool>>(
        Expression.OrElse(expr1.Body, expr3.Body), expr1.Parameters[0]);

    var func = expr4.Compile();

    Assert.IsTrue(func(new Coco { Item1 = "caca", Item2 = "test pipi" }));
}

Why aren't Xcode breakpoints functioning?

In my case, I found out that the breakpoints have been accidentally deactivated. You can reactivate it again via Debug->Activate Breakpoints [Cmd+Y]. If you notice grey'ed out breakpoint markers instead of the usual blue marker, this is likely the case.

As it turned out you can always toggle breakpoints activation with Cmd+Y keys, you might have hits this combination key not noticing it. This report is based on Xcode 7.2.

Which ORM should I use for Node.js and MySQL?

First off, please note that I haven't used either of them (but have used Node.js).

Both libraries are documented quite well and have a stable API. However, persistence.js seems to be used in more projects. I don't know if all of them still use it, though.

The developer of sequelize sometimes blogs about it at blog.depold.com. When you'd like to use primary keys as foreign keys, you'll need the patch that's described in this blog post. If you'd like help for persistence.js there is a google group devoted to it.

From the examples I gather that sequelize is a bit more JavaScript-like (more sugar) than persistance.js but has support for fewer datastores (only MySQL, while persistance.js can even use in-browser stores).

I think that sequelize might be the way to go for you, as you only need MySQL support. However, if you need some convenient features (for instance search) or want to use a different database later on you'd need to use persistence.js.

Pass Parameter to Gulp Task

Passing a parameter to gulp can mean a few things:

  • From the command line to the gulpfile (already exemplified here).
  • From the main body of the gulpfile.js script to gulp tasks.
  • From one gulp task to another gulp task.

Here's an approach of passing parameters from the main gulpfile to a gulp task. By moving the task that needs the parameter to it's own module and wrapping it in a function (so a parameter can be passed).:

// ./gulp-tasks/my-neat-task.js file
module.exports = function(opts){

  opts.gulp.task('my-neat-task', function(){
      console.log( 'the value is ' + opts.value );
  });

};
//main gulpfile.js file

//...do some work to figure out a value called val...
var val = 'some value';

//pass that value as a parameter to the 'my-neat-task' gulp task
require('./gulp-tasks/my-neat-task.js')({ gulp: gulp, value: val});

This can come in handy if you have a lot of gulp tasks and want to pass them some handy environmental configs. I'm not sure if it can work between one task and another.

How to get file path in iPhone app

Remember that the "folders/groups" you make in xcode, those which are yellowish are not reflected as real folders in your iPhone app. They are just there to structure your XCode project. You can nest as many yellow group as you want and they still only serve the purpose of organizing code in XCode.

EDIT

Make a folder outside of XCode then drag it over, and select "Create folder references for any added folders" instead of "Create groups for any added folders" in the popup.

Embed image in a <button> element

Buttons don't directly support images. Moreover the way you're doing is for links ()

Images are added over buttons using the BACKGROUND-IMAGE property in style

you can also specify the repeats and other properties using tag

For example: a basic image added to a button would have this code:

    <button style="background-image:url(myImage.png)">

"An access token is required to request this resource" while accessing an album / photo with Facebook php sdk

There are 3 things you need.

  1. You need to oAuth with the owner of those photos. (with the 'user_photos' extended permission)

  2. You need the access token (which you get returned in the URL box after the oAuth is done.)

  3. When those are complete you can then access the photos like so https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

You can find all of the information in more detail here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication

Can I do a max(count(*)) in SQL?

it's from this site - http://sqlzoo.net/3.htm 2 possible solutions:

with TOP 1 a ORDER BY ... DESC:

SELECT yr, COUNT(title) 
FROM actor 
JOIN casting ON actor.id=actorid
JOIN movie ON movie.id=movieid
WHERE name = 'John Travolta'
GROUP BY yr
HAVING count(title)=(SELECT TOP 1 COUNT(title) 
FROM casting 
JOIN movie ON movieid=movie.id 
JOIN actor ON actor.id=actorid
WHERE name='John Travolta'
GROUP BY yr
ORDER BY count(title) desc)

with MAX:

SELECT yr, COUNT(title) 
FROM actor  
JOIN casting ON actor.id=actorid    
JOIN movie ON movie.id=movieid
WHERE name = 'John Travolta'
GROUP BY yr
HAVING 
    count(title)=
        (SELECT MAX(A.CNT) 
            FROM (SELECT COUNT(title) AS CNT FROM actor 
                JOIN casting ON actor.id=actorid
                JOIN movie ON movie.id=movieid
                    WHERE name = 'John Travolta'
                    GROUP BY (yr)) AS A)
