Removing unwanted table cell borders with CSS

sometimes even after clearing borders.

the reason is that you have images inside the td, giving the images display:block solves it.

Show popup after page load

You can also do this much easier with a plugin called jQuery-confirm. All you have to do is add the script tag and the style sheet they provide in your page

<link rel="stylesheet" 
href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-
confirm/3.3.0/jquery-confirm.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-
confirm/3.3.0/jquery-confirm.min.js"></script>

And then an example of calling the alert box is:

   <script>
        $.alert({
    title: 'Alert!',
    content: 'Simple alert!',
     });

How to print the number of characters in each line of a text file

Try this:

while read line    
do    
    echo -e |wc -m      
done <abc.txt

Writelines writes lines without newline, Just fills the file

As we want to only separate lines, and the writelines function in python does not support adding separator between lines, I have written the simple code below which best suits this problem:

sep = "\n" # defining the separator
new_lines = sep.join(lines) # lines as an iterator containing line strings

and finally:

with open("file_name", 'w') as file:
    file.writelines(new_lines)

and you are done.

ASP.NET Core form POST results in a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response

As addition of good answers, You don't have to use [FromForm] to get form data in controller. Framework automatically convert form data to model as you wish. You can implement like following.

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Submit(MyModel model)
{
    //...
}

How to make rectangular image appear circular with CSS

My 2cents because the comments for the only answer are getting kinda crazy. This is what I normally do. For a circle, you need to start with a square. This code forces a square and will stretch the image. If you know that the image is going to be at least the width and height of the round div you can remove the img style rules for it to not be stretch but only cut off.

<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            .round {
                border-radius: 50%;
                overflow: hidden;
                width: 150px;
                height: 150px;
            }
            .round img {
                display: block;
            /* Stretch 
                  height: 100%;
                  width: 100%; */
            min-width: 100%;
            min-height: 100%;
            }
        </style>
    </head>

Get the element triggering an onclick event in jquery?

Try this

<input onclick="confirmSubmit(event);" type="button" value="Send" />

Along with this

function confirmSubmit(event){
            var domElement =$(event.target);
            console.log(domElement.attr('type'));
        }

I tried it in firefox, it prints the 'type' attribute of dom Element clicked. I guess you can then get the form via the parents() methods using this object.

What's the difference between RANK() and DENSE_RANK() functions in oracle?

RANK gives you the ranking within your ordered partition. Ties are assigned the same rank, with the next ranking(s) skipped. So, if you have 3 items at rank 2, the next rank listed would be ranked 5.

DENSE_RANK again gives you the ranking within your ordered partition, but the ranks are consecutive. No ranks are skipped if there are ranks with multiple items.

As for nulls, it depends on the ORDER BY clause. Here is a simple test script you can play with to see what happens:

with q as (
select 10 deptno, 'rrr' empname, 10000.00 sal from dual union all
select 11, 'nnn', 20000.00 from dual union all
select 11, 'mmm', 5000.00 from dual union all
select 12, 'kkk', 30000 from dual union all
select 10, 'fff', 40000 from dual union all
select 10, 'ddd', 40000 from dual union all
select 10, 'bbb', 50000 from dual union all
select 10, 'xxx', null from dual union all
select 10, 'ccc', 50000 from dual)
select empname, deptno, sal
     , rank() over (partition by deptno order by sal nulls first) r
     , dense_rank() over (partition by deptno order by sal nulls first) dr1
     , dense_rank() over (partition by deptno order by sal nulls last) dr2
 from q;

How to sort an array of ints using a custom comparator?

If you don't want to copy the array (say it is very large), you might want to create a wrapper List<Integer> that can be used in a sort:

final int[] elements = {1, 2, 3, 4};
List<Integer> wrapper = new AbstractList<Integer>() {

        @Override
        public Integer get(int index) {
            return elements[index];
        }

        @Override
        public int size() {
            return elements.length;
        }

        @Override
        public Integer set(int index, Integer element) {
            int v = elements[index];
            elements[index] = element;
            return v;
        }

    };

And now you can do a sort on this wrapper List using a custom comparator.

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element. Expected elements are (none)

When you generate a JAXB model from an XML Schema, global elements that correspond to named complex types will have that metadata captured as an @XmlElementDecl annotation on a create method in the ObjectFactory class. Since you are creating the JAXBContext on just the DocumentType class this metadata isn't being processed. If you generated your JAXB model from an XML Schema then you should create the JAXBContext on the generated package name or ObjectFactory class to ensure all the necessary metadata is processed.

Example solution:

JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(my.generatedschema.dir.ObjectFactory.class);
DocumentType documentType = ((JAXBElement<DocumentType>) jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(inputStream)).getValue();

How to fix broken paste clipboard in VNC on Windows

You likely need to re-start VNC on both ends. i.e. when you say "restarted VNC", you probably just mean the client. But what about the other end? You likely need to re-start that end too. The root cause is likely a conflict. Many apps spy on the clipboard when they shouldn't. And many apps are not forgiving when they go to open the clipboard and can't. Robust ones will retry, others will simply not anticipate a failure and then they get fouled up and need to be restarted. Could be VNC, or it could be another app that's "listening" to the clipboard viewer chain, where it is obligated to pass along notifications to the other apps in the chain. If the notifications aren't sent, then VNC may not even know that there has been a clipboard update.

How to copy only a single worksheet to another workbook using vba

To copy a sheet to a workbook called TARGET:

Sheets("xyz").Copy After:=Workbooks("TARGET.xlsx").Sheets("abc")

This will put the copied sheet xyz in the TARGET workbook after the sheet abc Obviously if you want to put the sheet in the TARGET workbook before a sheet, replace Before for After in the code.

To create a workbook called TARGET you would first need to add a new workbook and then save it to define the filename:

Application.Workbooks.Add (xlWBATWorksheet)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs ("TARGET")

However this may not be ideal for you as it will save the workbook in a default location e.g. My Documents.

Hopefully this will give you something to go on though.

How do you get/set media volume (not ringtone volume) in Android?

To set volume to 0

AudioManager audioManager;
audioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0, 0);

To set volume to full

AudioManager audioManager;
audioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 20, 0);

the volume can be adjusted by changing the index value between 0 and 20

Tomcat request timeout

With Tomcat 7, you can add the StuckThreadDetectionValve which will enable you to identify threads that are "stuck". You can set-up the valve in the Context element of the applications where you want to do detecting:

<Context ...>
  ...
  <Valve 
    className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve"
    threshold="60" />
  ...
</Context>

This would write a WARN entry into the tomcat log for any thread that takes longer than 60 seconds, which would enable you to identify the applications and ban them because they are faulty.

Based on the source code you may be able to write your own valve that attempts to stop the thread, however this would have knock on effects on the thread pool and there is no reliable way of stopping a thread in Java without the cooperation of that thread...

Nullable DateTime conversion

                                Convert.ToDateTime(reader[3]);

How to run Gulp tasks sequentially one after the other

Try this hack :-) Gulp v3.x Hack for Async bug

I tried all of the "official" ways in the Readme, they didn't work for me but this did. You can also upgrade to gulp 4.x but I highly recommend you don't, it breaks so much stuff. You could use a real js promise, but hey, this is quick, dirty, simple :-) Essentially you use:

var wait = 0; // flag to signal thread that task is done
if(wait == 0) setTimeout(... // sleep and let nodejs schedule other threads

Googlemaps API Key for Localhost

You have to check the specific error within the javascript console (e.g. Ctrl + Shift + K in Firefox for Windows).

According to Steven Gliebe (2016), there are four common cases for this problem. If I may summarize it, as this:

MissingKeyMapError >> Get Google Maps API Key (but also consider alternative no.2)
RefererNotAllowedMapError >> Register your localhost:port in your google developer dashboard.
ApiNotActivatedMapError >> Enabling the Google Maps API in Google API Library page
InvalidKeyMapError >> Add your key to your scripts/ codes properly

After doing some code modification, please clear your browser cache as necessary.

In case there are other errors, you can check Google Maps API Error Codes Documentation page.

document.getElementById().value and document.getElementById().checked not working for IE

Jin Yong - IE has an issue with polluting the global scope with object references to any DOM elements with a "name" or "id" attribute set on the "initial" page load.

Thus you may have issues due to your variable name.

Try this and see if it works.

var someOtherName="abc";
//  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
document.getElementById('msg').value = someOtherName;
document.getElementById('sp_100').checked = true;

There is a chance (in your original code) that IE attempts to set the value of the input to a reference to that actual element (ignores the error) but leaves you with no new value.

Keep in mind that in IE6/IE7 case doesn't matter for naming objects. IE believes that "foo" "Foo" and "FOO" are all the same object.

Selecting option by text content with jQuery

If your <option> elements don't have value attributes, then you can just use .val:

$selectElement.val("text_you're_looking_for")

However, if your <option> elements have value attributes, or might do in future, then this won't work, because whenever possible .val will select an option by its value attribute instead of by its text content. There's no built-in jQuery method that will select an option by its text content if the options have value attributes, so we'll have to add one ourselves with a simple plugin:

/*
  Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16887276/1709587

  Usage instructions:

  Call

      jQuery('#mySelectElement').selectOptionWithText('target_text');

  to select the <option> element from within #mySelectElement whose text content
  is 'target_text' (or do nothing if no such <option> element exists).
*/
jQuery.fn.selectOptionWithText = function selectOptionWithText(targetText) {
    return this.each(function () {
        var $selectElement, $options, $targetOption;

        $selectElement = jQuery(this);
        $options = $selectElement.find('option');
        $targetOption = $options.filter(
            function () {return jQuery(this).text() == targetText}
        );

        // We use `.prop` if it's available (which it should be for any jQuery
        // versions above and including 1.6), and fall back on `.attr` (which
        // was used for changing DOM properties in pre-1.6) otherwise.
        if ($targetOption.prop) {
            $targetOption.prop('selected', true);
        } 
        else {
            $targetOption.attr('selected', 'true');
        }
    });
}

Just include this plugin somewhere after you add jQuery onto the page, and then do

jQuery('#someSelectElement').selectOptionWithText('Some Target Text');

to select options.

The plugin method uses filter to pick out only the option matching the targetText, and selects it using either .attr or .prop, depending upon jQuery version (see .prop() vs .attr() for explanation).

Tracking Google Analytics Page Views with AngularJS

Use GA 'set' to ensure routes are picked up for Google realtime analytics. Otherwise subsequent calls to GA will not show in the realtime panel.

$scope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function() {
    $window.ga('set', 'page', $location.url());
    $window.ga('send', 'pageview');
});

Google strongly advises this approach generally instead of passing a 3rd param in 'send'. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/single-page-applications

How to analyse the heap dump using jmap in java

VisualVm does not come with Apple JDK. You can use VisualVM Mac Application bundle(dmg) as a separate application, to compensate for that.

How to get only time from date-time C#

If you're looking to compare times, and not the dates, you could just have a standard comparison date, or match to the date you're using, as in...

DateTime time = DateTime.Parse("6/22/2009 10:00AM");
DateTime compare = DateTime.Parse(time.ToShortDateString() + " 2:00PM");
bool greater = (time > compare);

There may be better ways to to this, but keeps your dates matching.

How to use java.String.format in Scala?

Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.16.dylib error when trying to run 'rails server' on OS X 10.6 with mysql2 gem

I solved this problem by deleting my gemset for my current project and recreating it and rerunning bundle install. I think I caused it by installing a newer version of mysql.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock

The relevant section of the MySQL manual is here. I'd start by going through the debugging steps listed there.

Also, remember that localhost and 127.0.0.1 are not the same thing in this context:

If host is set to localhost, then a socket or pipe is used.
If host is set to 127.0.0.1, then the client is forced to use TCP/IP.

So, for example, you can check if your database is listening for TCP connections vi netstat -nlp. It seems likely that it IS listening for TCP connections because you say that mysql -h 127.0.0.1 works just fine. To check if you can connect to your database via sockets, use mysql -h localhost.

If none of this helps, then you probably need to post more details about your MySQL config, exactly how you're instantiating the connection, etc.

Tar a directory, but don't store full absolute paths in the archive

One minor detail:

tar -cjf site1.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/site1 .

adds the files as

tar -tf site1.tar.bz2
./style.css
./index.html
./page2.html
./page3.html
./images/img1.png
./images/img2.png
./subdir/index.html

If you really want

tar -tf site1.tar.bz2
style.css
index.html
page2.html
page3.html
images/img1.png
images/img2.png
subdir/index.html

You should either cd into the directory first or run

tar -cjf site1.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/site1 $(ls /var/www/site1)

php $_GET and undefined index

Simple function, works with GET or POST. Plus you can assign a default value.

function GetPost($var,$default='') {
    return isset($_GET[$var]) ? $_GET[$var] : (isset($_POST[$var]) ? $_POST[$var] : $default);
}

Find if current time falls in a time range

For checking for a time of day use:

TimeSpan start = new TimeSpan(10, 0, 0); //10 o'clock
TimeSpan end = new TimeSpan(12, 0, 0); //12 o'clock
TimeSpan now = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

if ((now > start) && (now < end))
{
   //match found
}

For absolute times use:

DateTime start = new DateTime(2009, 12, 9, 10, 0, 0)); //10 o'clock
DateTime end = new DateTime(2009, 12, 10, 12, 0, 0)); //12 o'clock
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

if ((now > start) && (now < end))
{
   //match found
}

How to get the MD5 hash of a file in C++?

Merge/flatten an array of arrays

There's a much faster way of doing this than using the merge.concat.apply() method listed in the top answer, and by faster I mean more than several orders of magnitude faster. This assumes your environment has access to the ES5 Array methods.

var array2d = [
  ["foo", "bar"],
  ["baz", "biz"]
];
merged = array2d.reduce(function(prev, next) {
    return prev.concat(next);
});

How to reverse an animation on mouse out after hover

Have tried several solutions here, nothing worked flawlessly; then Searched the web a bit more, to find GSAP at https://greensock.com/ (subject to license, but it's pretty permissive); once you reference the lib ...

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/3.2.4/gsap.min.js"></script>

... you can go:

  var el = document.getElementById('divID');    

  // create a timeline for this element in paused state
  var tl = new TimelineMax({paused: true});

  // create your tween of the timeline in a variable
  tl
  .set(el,{willChange:"transform"})
  .to(el, 1, {transform:"rotate(60deg)", ease:Power1.easeInOut});

  // store the tween timeline in the javascript DOM node
  el.animation = tl;

  //create the event handler
  $(el).on("mouseenter",function(){
    //this.style.willChange = 'transform';
    this.animation.play();
  }).on("mouseleave",function(){
     //this.style.willChange = 'auto';
    this.animation.reverse();
  });

And it will work flawlessly.

Average of multiple columns

You could simply do:

Select Req_ID, (avg(R1)+avg(R2)+avg(R3)+avg(R4)+avg(R5))/5 as Average
from Request
Group by Req_ID

Right?

I'm assuming that you may have multiple rows with the same Req_ID and in these cases you want to calculate the average across all columns and rows for those rows with the same Req_ID

POI setting Cell Background to a Custom Color

Don't forget to call this.

style.setFillPattern(CellStyle.Align_Fill);

Parameter may differ according to your need. Maybe CellStyle.FINE_DOTS or so.

Use curly braces to initialize a Set in Python

There are two obvious issues with the set literal syntax:

my_set = {'foo', 'bar', 'baz'}

It's not available before Python 2.7
There's no way to express an empty set using that syntax (using {} creates an empty dict)

Those may or may not be important to you.

The section of the docs outlining this syntax is here.

JavaScript - Use variable in string match

You have to use RegExp object if your pattern is string

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = "i";
var rgxp = new RegExp(yyy, "g");
alert(xxx.match(rgxp).length);

If pattern is not dynamic string:

var xxx = "victoria";
var yyy = /i/g;
alert(xxx.match(yyy).length);

What are the advantages of NumPy over regular Python lists?

NumPy's arrays are more compact than Python lists -- a list of lists as you describe, in Python, would take at least 20 MB or so, while a NumPy 3D array with single-precision floats in the cells would fit in 4 MB. Access in reading and writing items is also faster with NumPy.

Maybe you don't care that much for just a million cells, but you definitely would for a billion cells -- neither approach would fit in a 32-bit architecture, but with 64-bit builds NumPy would get away with 4 GB or so, Python alone would need at least about 12 GB (lots of pointers which double in size) -- a much costlier piece of hardware!

The difference is mostly due to "indirectness" -- a Python list is an array of pointers to Python objects, at least 4 bytes per pointer plus 16 bytes for even the smallest Python object (4 for type pointer, 4 for reference count, 4 for value -- and the memory allocators rounds up to 16). A NumPy array is an array of uniform values -- single-precision numbers takes 4 bytes each, double-precision ones, 8 bytes. Less flexible, but you pay substantially for the flexibility of standard Python lists!

Is there a way to delete created variables, functions, etc from the memory of the interpreter?

Actually python will reclaim the memory which is not in use anymore.This is called garbage collection which is automatic process in python. But still if you want to do it then you can delete it by del variable_name. You can also do it by assigning the variable to None

a = 10
print a 

del a       
print a      ## throws an error here because it's been deleted already.

The only way to truly reclaim memory from unreferenced Python objects is via the garbage collector. The del keyword simply unbinds a name from an object, but the object still needs to be garbage collected. You can force garbage collector to run using the gc module, but this is almost certainly a premature optimization but it has its own risks. Using del has no real effect, since those names would have been deleted as they went out of scope anyway.

How to get the absolute coordinates of a view

Just in addition to the above answers, for the question where and when you should call getLocationOnScreen?

For any information that is related to the view, will be available only after the view has been laid out(created) on the screen. So to get the location put your code inside view.post(Runnable) which is called after view has been laid out, like this:

view.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

               // This code will run when view created and rendered on screen

               // So as the answer to this question, you can put the code here
               int[] location = new int[2];
               myView.getLocationOnScreen(location);
               int x = location[0];
               int y = location[1];
            }
        });

How to SELECT the last 10 rows of an SQL table which has no ID field?

SQL tables have no implicit ordering, the order has to come from the data. Perhaps you should add a field to your table (e.g. an int counter) and re-import the data.

However that will only give the order of the import and not the data. If your data has no ordering you have to find out how to add it.

EDIT: you say

...to make sure it imported everything.

How should I store GUID in MySQL tables?

My DBA asked me when I asked about the best way to store GUIDs for my objects why I needed to store 16 bytes when I could do the same thing in 4 bytes with an Integer. Since he put that challenge out there to me I thought now was a good time to mention it. That being said...

You can store a guid as a CHAR(16) binary if you want to make the most optimal use of storage space.

PHP decoding and encoding json with unicode characters

I have found following way to fix this issue... I hope this can help you.

json_encode($data,JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE|JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);

HTML Table different number of columns in different rows

yes, simply use colspan.

MySQL and GROUP_CONCAT() maximum length

The short answer: the setting needs to be setup when the connection to the MySQL server is established. For example, if using MYSQLi / PHP, it will look something like this:

$ myConn = mysqli_init(); 
$ myConn->options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, 'SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000');

Therefore, if you are using a home-brewed framework, well, you need to look for the place in the code when the connection is establish and provide a sensible value.

I am still using Codeigniter 3 on 2020, so in this framework, the code to add is in the application/system/database/drivers/mysqli/mysqli_driver.php, the function is named db_connect();

public function db_connect($persistent = FALSE)
    {
        // Do we have a socket path?
        if ($this->hostname[0] === '/')
        {
            $hostname = NULL;
            $port = NULL;
            $socket = $this->hostname;
        }
        else
        {
            $hostname = ($persistent === TRUE)
                ? 'p:'.$this->hostname : $this->hostname;
            $port = empty($this->port) ? NULL : $this->port;
            $socket = NULL;
        }

        $client_flags = ($this->compress === TRUE) ? MYSQLI_CLIENT_COMPRESS : 0;
        $this->_mysqli = mysqli_init();

        $this->_mysqli->options(MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10);
        $this->_mysqli->options(MYSQLI_INIT_COMMAND, 'SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000');

...
    }

Remove Elements from a HashSet while Iterating

you can also refactor your solution removing the first loop:

Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
Collection<Integer> removeCandidates = new LinkedList<Integer>(set);

for(Integer element : set)
   if(element % 2 == 0)
       removeCandidates.add(element);

set.removeAll(removeCandidates);

Regular Expressions and negating a whole character group

abc(?!def) will match abc not followed by def. So it'll match abce, abc, abck, etc. what if I want neither def nor xyz will it be abc(?!(def)(xyz)) ???

I had the same question and found a solution:

abc(?:(?!def))(?:(?!xyz))

These non-counting groups are combined by "AND", so it this should do the trick. Hope it helps.

How to view file diff in git before commit

Another technique to consider if you want to compare a file to the last commit which is more pedantic:

git diff master myfile.txt

The advantage with this technique is you can also compare to the penultimate commit with:

git diff master^ myfile.txt

and the one before that:

git diff master^^ myfile.txt

Also you can substitute '~' for the caret '^' character and 'you branch name' for 'master' if you are not on the master branch.

Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

I ran into this issue in Eclipse on Mac OS X v10.9 (Mavericks). I tried many answers on Stack Overflow ... finally, after a full day I *installed a fresh version of the Android SDK (and updated Eclipse, menu Project ? Properties ? Android to use the new path)*.

I had to get SDK updates, but only pulling down those updates I thought were necessary, avoiding APIs I were not working with (like Wear and TV) .. and that did the trick. Apparently, it seems I had corrupted my SDK somewhere along the way.

BTW .. I did see the error re-surface with one project in my workspace, but it seemed related to an import of appcompat-7, which I was not using. After rm-ing that project, so far haven't seen the issue resurface.

Why is my xlabel cut off in my matplotlib plot?

Use:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.gcf().subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15)

to make room for the label.

Edit:

Since i gave the answer, matplotlib has added the tight_layout() function. So i suggest to use it:

plt.tight_layout()

should make room for the xlabel.

XAMPP, Apache - Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly

I tried to execute httpd.exe in cmd and got error that there's syntax error in httpd-vhosts.conf. I checked file and found what's wrong and it's working fine now.

So, if you are facing this error then it may be because of httpd-vhosts or any other file.

Try to execute the program via cmd and you will get the error details and the line where is syntax error.

Javascript - How to show escape characters in a string?

If your goal is to have

str = "Hello\nWorld";

and output what it contains in string literal form, you can use JSON.stringify:

console.log(JSON.stringify(str)); // ""Hello\nWorld""

_x000D_

const str = "Hello\nWorld";_x000D_
const json = JSON.stringify(str);_x000D_
console.log(json); // ""Hello\nWorld""_x000D_
for (let i = 0; i < json.length; ++i) {_x000D_
    console.log(`${i}: ${json.charAt(i)}`);_x000D_
}

_x000D_

.as-console-wrapper {_x000D_
    max-height: 100% !important;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

console.log adds the outer quotes (at least in Chrome's implementation), but the content within them is a string literal (yes, that's somewhat confusing).

JSON.stringify takes what you give it (in this case, a string) and returns a string containing valid JSON for that value. So for the above, it returns an opening quote ("), the word Hello, a backslash (\), the letter n, the word World, and the closing quote ("). The linefeed in the string is escaped in the output as a \ and an n because that's how you encode a linefeed in JSON. Other escape sequences are similarly encoded.

Babel 6 regeneratorRuntime is not defined

Programmatically get own phone number in iOS

You cannot use iOS APIs alone to capture the phone number (even in a private app with private APIs), as all known methods of doing this have been patched and blocked as of iOS 11. Even if a new exploit is found, Apple has made clear that they will reject any apps from the app store for using private APIs to do this. See @Dylan's answer for details.

However, there is a legal way to capture the phone number without any user data entry. This is similar to what Snapchat does, but easier, as it does not require the user to type in their own phone number.

The idea is to have the app programmatically send a SMS message to a server with the app’s unique installation code. The app can then query the same server to see if it has recently received a SMS message from a device with this unique app installation code. If it has, it can read the phone number that sent it. Here’s a demo video showing the process. As you can see, it works like a charm!

This is not super easy to set up, but it be configured in a few hours at no charge on a free AWS tier with the sample code provided in the tutorial here.

How to enable mbstring from php.ini?

All XAMPP packages come with Multibyte String (php_mbstring.dll) extension installed.

If you have accidentally removed DLL file from php/ext folder, just add it back (get the copy from XAMPP zip archive - its downloadable).

If you have deleted the accompanying INI configuration line from php.ini file, add it back as well:

extension=php_mbstring.dll

Also, ensure to restart your webserver (Apache) using XAMPP control panel.

Additional Info on Enabling PHP Extensions

install extension (e.g. put php_mbstring.dll into /XAMPP/php/ext directory)
in php.ini, ensure extension directory specified (e.g. extension_dir = "ext")
ensure correct build of DLL file (e.g. 32bit thread-safe VC9 only works with DLL files built using exact same tools and configuration: 32bit thread-safe VC9)
ensure PHP API versions match (If not, once you restart the webserver you will receive related error.)

I used a test SQLServer 2017 on another host (I used a VM) create table ttable1 (n int); insert into ttable1 values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7) go create procedure procNoCount as begin set nocount on update ttable1 set n=10-n endcreate procedure procNormal as begin update ttable1 set n=10-n end Then I traced packets on port 1433 with the tool 'Wireshark': 'capture filter' button -> 'port 1433'

exec procNoCount

this is the response packet: 0000 00 50 56 c0 00 08 00 0c 29 31 3f 75 08 00 45 00 0010 00 42 d0 ce 40 00 40 06 84 0d c0 a8 32 88 c0 a8 0020 32 01 05 99 fe a5 91 49 e5 9c be fb 85 01 50 18 0030 02 b4 e6 0e 00 00 04 01 00 1a 00 35 01 00 79 00 0040 00 00 00 fe 00 00 e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

exec procNormal

this is the response packet: 0000 00 50 56 c0 00 08 00 0c 29 31 3f 75 08 00 45 00 0010 00 4f d0 ea 40 00 40 06 83 e4 c0 a8 32 88 c0 a8 0020 32 01 05 99 fe a5 91 49 e8 b1 be fb 8a 35 50 18 0030 03 02 e6 1b 00 00 04 01 00 27 00 35 01 00 ff 11 0040 00 c5 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 79 00 00 00 00 0050 fe 00 00 e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

On line 40 I can see '07' which is the number of 'row(s) affected'. It is included in the response packet. No extra packet.

It has however 13 extra bytes which could be saved, but probably not more worth it than reducing column names (e.g. 'ManagingDepartment' to 'MD')

So I see no reason to use it for performance

BUT As others mentioned it can break ADO.NET and I also stumbled on an issue using python: MSSQL2008 - Pyodbc - Previous SQL was not a query

So probably a good habit still...

TypeError: 'float' object is not subscriptable

PriceList[0] is a float. PriceList[0][1] is trying to access the first element of a float. Instead, do

PriceList[0] = PriceList[1] = ...code omitted... = PriceList[6] = PizzaChange

PriceList[0:7] = [PizzaChange]*7

Get the current language in device

here is code to get device country. Compatible with all versions of android even oreo.

Solution: if user does not have sim card than get country he is used during phone setup , or current language selection.

public static String getDeviceCountry(Context context) {
    String deviceCountryCode = null;

    final TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

        if(tm != null) {
            deviceCountryCode = tm.getNetworkCountryIso();
        }

    if (deviceCountryCode != null && deviceCountryCode.length() <=3) {
        deviceCountryCode = deviceCountryCode.toUpperCase();
    }
    else {
        deviceCountryCode = ConfigurationCompat.getLocales(Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration()).get(0).getCountry().toUpperCase();
    }

  //  Log.d("countryCode","  : " + deviceCountryCode );
    return deviceCountryCode;
}

Multiline TextView in Android?

The key is a Textview with singleline=false (which yes is deprecated, but is a must have to work) combined with lines, maxlinesor minlines

surface plots in matplotlib

Just to add some further thoughts which may help others with irregular domain type problems. For a situation where the user has three vectors/lists, x,y,z representing a 2D solution where z is to be plotted on a rectangular grid as a surface, the 'plot_trisurf()' comments by ArtifixR are applicable. A similar example but with non rectangular domain is:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import cm
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D 

# problem parameters
nu = 50; nv = 50
u = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, nu,) 
v = np.linspace(0, np.pi, nv,)

xx = np.zeros((nu,nv),dtype='d')
yy = np.zeros((nu,nv),dtype='d')
zz = np.zeros((nu,nv),dtype='d')

# populate x,y,z arrays
for i in range(nu):
  for j in range(nv):
    xx[i,j] = np.sin(v[j])*np.cos(u[i])
    yy[i,j] = np.sin(v[j])*np.sin(u[i])
    zz[i,j] = np.exp(-4*(xx[i,j]**2 + yy[i,j]**2)) # bell curve

# convert arrays to vectors
x = xx.flatten()
y = yy.flatten()
z = zz.flatten()

# Plot solution surface
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))
ax = Axes3D(fig)
ax.plot_trisurf(x, y, z, cmap=cm.jet, linewidth=0,
                antialiased=False)
ax.set_title(r'trisurf example',fontsize=16, color='k')
ax.view_init(60, 35)
fig.tight_layout()
plt.show()

The above code produces:

However, this may not solve all problems, particular where the problem is defined on an irregular domain. Also, in the case where the domain has one or more concave areas, the delaunay triangulation may result in generating spurious triangles exterior to the domain. In such cases, these rogue triangles have to be removed from the triangulation in order to achieve the correct surface representation. For these situations, the user may have to explicitly include the delaunay triangulation calculation so that these triangles can be removed programmatically. Under these circumstances, the following code could replace the previous plot code:


import matplotlib.tri as mtri 
import scipy.spatial
# plot final solution
pts = np.vstack([x, y]).T
tess = scipy.spatial.Delaunay(pts) # tessilation

# Create the matplotlib Triangulation object
xx = tess.points[:, 0]
yy = tess.points[:, 1]
tri = tess.vertices # or tess.simplices depending on scipy version

#############################################################
# NOTE: If 2D domain has concave properties one has to
#       remove delaunay triangles that are exterior to the domain.
#       This operation is problem specific!
#       For simple situations create a polygon of the
#       domain from boundary nodes and identify triangles
#       in 'tri' outside the polygon. Then delete them from
#       'tri'.
#       <ADD THE CODE HERE>
#############################################################

triDat = mtri.Triangulation(x=pts[:, 0], y=pts[:, 1], triangles=tri)

# Plot solution surface
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.plot_trisurf(triDat, z, linewidth=0, edgecolor='none',
                antialiased=False, cmap=cm.jet)
ax.set_title(r'trisurf with delaunay triangulation', 
          fontsize=16, color='k')
plt.show()

Example plots are given below illustrating solution 1) with spurious triangles, and 2) where they have been removed:

I hope the above may be of help to people with concavity situations in the solution data.

What is private bytes, virtual bytes, working set?

The definition of the perfmon counters has been broken since the beginning and for some reason appears to be too hard to correct.

A good overview of Windows memory management is available in the video "Mysteries of Memory Management Revealed" on MSDN: It covers more topics than needed to track memory leaks (eg working set management) but gives enough detail in the relevant topics.

To give you a hint of the problem with the perfmon counter descriptions, here is the inside story about private bytes from "Private Bytes Performance Counter -- Beware!" on MSDN:

Q: When is a Private Byte not a Private Byte?

A: When it isn't resident.

The Private Bytes counter reports the commit charge of the process. That is to say, the amount of space that has been allocated in the swap file to hold the contents of the private memory in the event that it is swapped out. Note: I'm avoiding the word "reserved" because of possible confusion with virtual memory in the reserved state which is not committed.

From "Performance Planning" on MSDN:

3.3 Private Bytes

3.3.1 Description

Private memory, is defined as memory allocated for a process which cannot be shared by other processes. This memory is more expensive than shared memory when multiple such processes execute on a machine. Private memory in (traditional) unmanaged dlls usually constitutes of C++ statics and is of the order of 5% of the total working set of the dll.

Using SSIS BIDS with Visual Studio 2012 / 2013

Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.

There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.

There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are

Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)

None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals

Replacing spaces with underscores in JavaScript?

Try .replace(/ /g,"_");

Edit: or .split(' ').join('_') if you have an aversion to REs

Edit: John Resig said:

If you're searching and replacing through a string with a static search and a static replace it's faster to perform the action with .split("match").join("replace") - which seems counter-intuitive but it manages to work that way in most modern browsers. (There are changes going in place to grossly improve the performance of .replace(/match/g, "replace") in the next version of Firefox - so the previous statement won't be the case for long.)

Get int from String, also containing letters, in Java

Replace all non-digit with blank: the remaining string contains only digits.

Integer.parseInt(s.replaceAll("[\\D]", ""))

This will also remove non-digits inbetween digits, so "x1x1x" becomes 11.

If you need to confirm that the string consists of a sequence of digits (at least one) possibly followed a letter, then use this:

s.matches("[\\d]+[A-Za-z]?")

creating list of objects in Javascript

dynamically build list of objects

a.forEach(function(entry) {

    singleObj['value'] = entry;
    listOfObjects.push(singleObj);
});

Send attachments with PHP Mail()?

I agree with @MihaiIorga in the comments – use the PHPMailer script. You sound like you're rejecting it because you want the easier option. Trust me, PHPMailer is the easier option by a very large margin compared to trying to do it yourself with PHP's built-in mail() function. PHP's mail() function really isn't very good.

To use PHPMailer:

Download the PHPMailer script from here: http://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
Extract the archive and copy the script's folder to a convenient place in your project.
Include the main script file -- require_once('path/to/file/class.phpmailer.php');

Now, sending emails with attachments goes from being insanely difficult to incredibly easy:

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

$email = new PHPMailer();
$email->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'Your Name'); //Name is optional
$email->Subject   = 'Message Subject';
$email->Body      = $bodytext;
$email->AddAddress( '[email protected]' );

$file_to_attach = 'PATH_OF_YOUR_FILE_HERE';

$email->AddAttachment( $file_to_attach , 'NameOfFile.pdf' );

return $email->Send();

It's just that one line $email->AddAttachment(); -- you couldn't ask for any easier.

If you do it with PHP's mail() function, you'll be writing stacks of code, and you'll probably have lots of really difficult to find bugs.

Regular expression to detect semi-colon terminated C++ for & while loops

This is a great example of using the wrong tool for the job. Regular expressions do not handle arbitrarily nested sub-matches very well. What you should do instead is use a real lexer and parser (a grammar for C++ should be easy to find) and look for unexpectedly empty loop bodies.

What is the basic difference between the Factory and Abstract Factory Design Patterns?

//Abstract factory - Provides interface to create factory of related products
interface PizzaIngredientsFactory{    
   public Dough createDough(); //Will return you family of Dough
   public Clam createClam();   //Will return you family of Clam
   public Sauce createSauce(); //Will return you family of Sauce
}

class NYPizzaIngredientsFactory implements PizzaIngredientsFactory{

   @Override
   public Dough createDough(){
      //create the concrete dough instance that NY uses
      return doughInstance;
   }

   //override other methods
}

The text book definitions are already provided by other answers. I thought I would provide an example of it too.

So here the PizzaIngredientsFactory is an abstract factory as it provides methods to create family of related products.

Note that each method in the Abstract factory is an Factory method in itself. Like createDough() is in itself a factory method whose concrete implementations will be provided by subclasses like NYPizzaIngredientsFactory. So using this each different location can create instances of concrete ingredients that belong to their location.

Factory Method

Provides instance of concrete implementation

In the example:
- createDough() - provides concrete implementation for dough. So this is a factory method

Abstract Factory

Provides interface to create family of related objects

In the example:
- PizzaIngredientsFactory is an abstract factory as it allows to create a related set of objects like Dough, Clams, Sauce. For creating each family of objects it provides a factory method.

ReDim Preserve to a Multi-Dimensional Array in Visual Basic 6

In regards to this:

"in my task I have to change the whole array (2 dimensions"

Just use a "jagged" array (ie an array of arrays of values). Then you can change the dimensions as you wish. You can have a 1-D array of variants, and the variants can contain arrays.

A bit more work perhaps, but a solution.

Are complex expressions possible in ng-hide / ng-show?

I generally try to avoid expressions with ng-show and ng-hide as they were designed as booleans, not conditionals. If I need both conditional and boolean logic, I prefer to put in the conditional logic using ng-if as the first check, then add in an additional check for the boolean logic with ng-show and ng-hide

Howerver, if you want to use a conditional for ng-show or ng-hide, here is a link with some examples: Conditional Display using ng-if, ng-show, ng-hide, ng-include, ng-switch

Function for C++ struct

Yes, a struct is identical to a class except for the default access level (member-wise and inheritance-wise). (and the extra meaning class carries when used with a template)

Every functionality supported by a class is consequently supported by a struct. You'd use methods the same as you'd use them for a class.

struct foo {
  int bar;
  foo() : bar(3) {}   //look, a constructor
  int getBar() 
  { 
    return bar; 
  }
};

foo f;
int y = f.getBar(); // y is 3

Identifying Exception Type in a handler Catch Block

UPDATED: assuming C# 6, the chances are that your case can be expressed as an exception filter. This is the ideal approach from a performance perspective assuming your requirement can be expressed in terms of it, e.g.:

try
{
}
catch ( Web2PDFException ex ) when ( ex.Code == 52 )
{
}

Assuming C# < 6, the most efficient is to catch a specific Exception type and do handling based on that. Any catch-all handling can be done separately

try
{
}
catch ( Web2PDFException ex )
{
}

try
{
}
catch ( Web2PDFException ex )
{
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
}

or (if you need to write a general handler - which is generally a bad idea, but if you're sure it's best for you, you're sure):

 if( err is Web2PDFException)
 {
 }

or (in certain cases if you need to do some more complex type hierarchy stuff that cant be expressed with is)

 if( err.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(typeof(Web2PDFException)))
 {
 }

~~or switch to VB.NET or F# and use is or Type.IsAssignableFrom in Exception Filters~~

Ok, so I've tried using the Xampp Control Panel and choosing from the Config menu to start MySQL did not work. Instead go to C:\xampp\mysql and run a file entitled mysql_installservice and MySQL will automatically run as a Windows service.

How do the likely/unlikely macros in the Linux kernel work and what is their benefit?

In many linux release, you can find complier.h in /usr/linux/ , you can include it for use simply. And another opinion, unlikely() is more useful rather than likely(), because

if ( likely( ... ) ) {
     doSomething();
}

it can be optimized as well in many compiler.

And by the way, if you want to observe the detail behavior of the code, you can do simply as follow:

gcc -c test.c objdump -d test.o > obj.s

Then, open obj.s, you can find the answer.

What is a Python equivalent of PHP's var_dump()?

PHP's var_export() usually shows a serialized version of the object that can be exec()'d to re-create the object. The closest thing to that in Python is repr()

"For many types, this function makes an attempt to return a string that would yield an object with the same value when passed to eval() [...]"

Iterator invalidation rules

C++17 (All references are from the final working draft of CPP17 - n4659)

Insertion

Sequence Containers

vector: The functions insert, emplace_back, emplace, push_back cause reallocation if the new size is greater than the old capacity. Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence. If no reallocation happens, all the iterators and references before the insertion point remain valid. [26.3.11.5/1]
With respect to the reserve function, reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence. No reallocation shall take place during insertions that happen after a call to reserve() until the time when an insertion would make the size of the vector greater than the value of capacity(). [26.3.11.3/6]
deque: An insertion in the middle of the deque invalidates all the iterators and references to elements of the deque. An insertion at either end of the deque invalidates all the iterators to the deque, but has no effect on the validity of references to elements of the deque. [26.3.8.4/1]
list: Does not affect the validity of iterators and references. If an exception is thrown there are no effects. [26.3.10.4/1].
The insert, emplace_front, emplace_back, emplace, push_front, push_back functions are covered under this rule.
forward_list: None of the overloads of insert_after shall affect the validity of iterators and references [26.3.9.5/1]
array: As a rule, iterators to an array are never invalidated throughout the lifetime of the array. One should take note, however, that during swap, the iterator will continue to point to the same array element, and will thus change its value.

Associative Containers

All Associative Containers: The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of iterators and references to the container [26.2.6/9]

Unordered Associative Containers

All Unordered Associative Containers: Rehashing invalidates iterators, changes ordering between elements, and changes which buckets elements appear in, but does not invalidate pointers or references to elements. [26.2.7/9]
The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of references to container elements, but may invalidate all iterators to the container. [26.2.7/14]
The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of iterators if (N+n) <= z * B, where N is the number of elements in the container prior to the insert operation, n is the number of elements inserted, B is the container’s bucket count, and z is the container’s maximum load factor. [26.2.7/15]
All Unordered Associative Containers: In case of a merge operation (e.g., a.merge(a2)), iterators referring to the transferred elements and all iterators referring to a will be invalidated, but iterators to elements remaining in a2 will remain valid. (Table 91 — Unordered associative container requirements)

Container Adaptors

stack: inherited from underlying container
queue: inherited from underlying container
priority_queue: inherited from underlying container

Erasure

Sequence Containers

vector: The functions erase and pop_back invalidate iterators and references at or after the point of the erase. [26.3.11.5/3]
deque: An erase operation that erases the last element of a deque invalidates only the past-the-end iterator and all iterators and references to the erased elements. An erase operation that erases the first element of a deque but not the last element invalidates only iterators and references to the erased elements. An erase operation that erases neither the first element nor the last element of a deque invalidates the past-the-end iterator and all iterators and references to all the elements of the deque. [ Note: pop_front and pop_back are erase operations. —end note ] [26.3.8.4/4]
list: Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements. [26.3.10.4/3]. This applies to erase, pop_front, pop_back, clear functions.
remove and remove_if member functions: Erases all the elements in the list referred by a list iterator i for which the following conditions hold: *i == value, pred(*i) != false. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements [26.3.10.5/15].
unique member function - Erases all but the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i-1) (for the version of unique with no arguments) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) (for the version of unique with a predicate argument) holds. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements. [26.3.10.5/19]
forward_list: erase_after shall invalidate only iterators and references to the erased elements. [26.3.9.5/1].
remove and remove_if member functions - Erases all the elements in the list referred by a list iterator i for which the following conditions hold: *i == value (for remove()), pred(*i) is true (for remove_if()). Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements. [26.3.9.6/12].
unique member function - Erases all but the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i-1) (for the version with no arguments) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) (for the version with a predicate argument) holds. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements. [26.3.9.6/16]
All Sequence Containers: clear invalidates all references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements of a and may invalidate the past-the-end iterator (Table 87 — Sequence container requirements). But for forward_list, clear does not invalidate past-the-end iterators. [26.3.9.5/32]
All Sequence Containers: assign invalidates all references, pointers and iterators referring to the elements of the container. For vector and deque, also invalidates the past-the-end iterator. (Table 87 — Sequence container requirements)

Associative Containers

All Associative Containers: The erase members shall invalidate only iterators and references to the erased elements [26.2.6/9]
All Associative Containers: The extract members invalidate only iterators to the removed element; pointers and references to the removed element remain valid [26.2.6/10]

Container Adaptors

stack: inherited from underlying container
queue: inherited from underlying container
priority_queue: inherited from underlying container

General container requirements relating to iterator invalidation:

Unless otherwise specified (either explicitly or by defining a function in terms of other functions), invoking a container member function or passing a container as an argument to a library function shall not invalidate iterators to, or change the values of, objects within that container. [26.2.1/12]
no swap() function invalidates any references, pointers, or iterators referring to the elements of the containers being swapped. [ Note: The end() iterator does not refer to any element, so it may be invalidated. —end note ] [26.2.1/(11.6)]

As examples of the above requirements:

transform algorithm: The op and binary_op functions shall not invalidate iterators or subranges, or modify elements in the ranges [28.6.4/1]
accumulate algorithm: In the range [first, last], binary_op shall neither modify elements nor invalidate iterators or subranges [29.8.2/1]
reduce algorithm: binary_op shall neither invalidate iterators or subranges, nor modify elements in the range [first, last]. [29.8.3/5]

and so on...

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE] even if app appears to not be installed

Ok uninstall the app, but we admit that the data not must be lost? This can be resolve, upgrading versionCode and versionName and try the application in "Release" mode.

For example, this is important when we want to try the migration of our Database. We can compare the our application on play store with actual application not release yet.

How to declare an array of objects in C#

The reason this is happening is because initializing an array does not initialize each element in that array. You need to first set houses[0] = new GameObject() and then it will work.

ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Connecting

Sorry for only commenting in the first place, but i'm posting almost every day a similar comment since many people think that it would be smart to encapsulate ADO.NET functionality into a DB-Class(me too 10 years ago). Mostly they decide to use static/shared objects since it seems to be faster than to create a new object for any action.

That is neither a good idea in terms of peformance nor in terms of fail-safety.

Don't poach on the Connection-Pool's territory

There's a good reason why ADO.NET internally manages the underlying Connections to the DBMS in the ADO-NET Connection-Pool:

In practice, most applications use only one or a few different configurations for connections. This means that during application execution, many identical connections will be repeatedly opened and closed. To minimize the cost of opening connections, ADO.NET uses an optimization technique called connection pooling.

Connection pooling reduces the number of times that new connections must be opened. The pooler maintains ownership of the physical connection. It manages connections by keeping alive a set of active connections for each given connection configuration. Whenever a user calls Open on a connection, the pooler looks for an available connection in the pool. If a pooled connection is available, it returns it to the caller instead of opening a new connection. When the application calls Close on the connection, the pooler returns it to the pooled set of active connections instead of closing it. Once the connection is returned to the pool, it is ready to be reused on the next Open call.

So obviously there's no reason to avoid creating,opening or closing connections since actually they aren't created,opened and closed at all. This is "only" a flag for the connection pool to know when a connection can be reused or not. But it's a very important flag, because if a connection is "in use"(the connection pool assumes), a new physical connection must be openend to the DBMS what is very expensive.

So you're gaining no performance improvement but the opposite. If the maximum pool size specified (100 is the default) is reached, you would even get exceptions(too many open connections ...). So this will not only impact the performance tremendously but also be a source for nasty errors and (without using Transactions) a data-dumping-area.

If you're even using static connections you're creating a lock for every thread trying to access this object. ASP.NET is a multithreading environment by nature. So theres a great chance for these locks which causes performance issues at best. Actually sooner or later you'll get many different exceptions(like your ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection).

Conclusion:

Don't reuse connections or any ADO.NET objects at all.
Don't make them static/shared(in VB.NET)
Always create, open(in case of Connections), use, close and dispose them where you need them(f.e. in a method)
use the using-statement to dispose and close(in case of Connections) implicitely

That's true not only for Connections(although most noticable). Every object implementing IDisposable should be disposed(simplest by using-statement), all the more in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.

All the above speaks against a custom DB-Class which encapsulates and reuse all objects. That's the reason why i commented to trash it. That's only a problem source.

Edit: Here's a possible implementation of your retrievePromotion-method:

public Promotion retrievePromotion(int promotionID)
{
    Promotion promo = null;
    var connectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MainConnStr"].ConnectionString;
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        var queryString = "SELECT PromotionID, PromotionTitle, PromotionURL FROM Promotion WHERE PromotionID=@PromotionID";
        using (var da = new SqlDataAdapter(queryString, connection))
        {
            // you could also use a SqlDataReader instead
            // note that a DataTable does not need to be disposed since it does not implement IDisposable
            var tblPromotion = new DataTable();
            // avoid SQL-Injection
            da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@PromotionID", SqlDbType.Int);
            da.SelectCommand.Parameters["@PromotionID"].Value = promotionID;
            try
            {
                connection.Open(); // not necessarily needed in this case because DataAdapter.Fill does it otherwise 
                da.Fill(tblPromotion);
                if (tblPromotion.Rows.Count != 0)
                {
                    var promoRow = tblPromotion.Rows[0];
                    promo = new Promotion()
                    {
                        promotionID    = promotionID,
                        promotionTitle = promoRow.Field<String>("PromotionTitle"),
                        promotionUrl   = promoRow.Field<String>("PromotionURL")
                    };
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                // log this exception or throw it up the StackTrace
                // we do not need a finally-block to close the connection since it will be closed implicitely in an using-statement
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
    return promo;
}

cURL equivalent in Node.js?

EDIT:

For new projects please refrain from using request, since now the project is in maitainance mode, and will eventually be deprecated

https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

Instead i would recommend Axios, the library is in line with Node latest standards, and there are some available plugins to enhance it, enabling mock server responses, automatic retries and other features.

https://github.com/axios/axios

const axios = require('axios');

// Make a request for a user with a given ID
axios.get('/user?ID=12345')
  .then(function (response) {
    // handle success
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    // handle error
    console.log(error);
  })
  .then(function () {
    // always executed
  });

Or using async / await:

try{
    const response = await axios.get('/user?ID=12345');
    console.log(response)
} catch(axiosErr){
    console.log(axiosErr)
}

I usually use REQUEST, its a simplified but powerful HTTP client for Node.js

https://github.com/request/request

Its on NPM npm install request

Here is a usage sample:

var request = require('request');

request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
   if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
       console.log(body) // Show the HTML for the Google homepage.
   }
})

Is there a cross-browser onload event when clicking the back button?

Some modern browsers (Firefox, Safari, and Opera, but not Chrome) support the special "back/forward" cache (I'll call it bfcache, which is a term invented by Mozilla), involved when the user navigates Back. Unlike the regular (HTTP) cache, it captures the complete state of the page (including the state of JS, DOM). This allows it to re-load the page quicker and exactly as the user left it.

The load event is not supposed to fire when the page is loaded from this bfcache. For example, if you created your UI in the "load" handler, and the "load" event was fired once on the initial load, and the second time when the page was re-loaded from the bfcache, the page would end up with duplicate UI elements.

This is also why adding the "unload" handler stops the page from being stored in the bfcache (thus making it slower to navigate back to) -- the unload handler could perform clean-up tasks, which could leave the page in unworkable state.

For pages that need to know when they're being navigated away/back to, Firefox 1.5+ and the version of Safari with the fix for bug 28758 support special events called "pageshow" and "pagehide".

Pandas/Python: Set value of one column based on value in another column

You can use np.where() to set values based on a specified condition:

#df
   c1  c2  c3
0   4   2   1
1   8   7   9
2   1   5   8
3   3   3   5
4   3   6   8

Now change values (or set) in column ['c2'] based on your condition.

df['c2'] = np.where(df.c1 == 8,'X', df.c3)

   c1  c3  c4
0   4   1   1
1   8   9   X
2   1   8   8
3   3   5   5
4   3   8   8

Is there an upper bound to BigInteger?

The number is held in an int[] - the maximum size of an array is Integer.MAX_VALUE. So the maximum BigInteger probably is (2 ^ 32) ^ Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Admittedly, this is implementation dependent, not part of the specification.

In Java 8, some information was added to the BigInteger javadoc, giving a minimum supported range and the actual limit of the current implementation:

BigInteger must support values in the range -2^{Integer.MAX_VALUE} (exclusive) to +2^{Integer.MAX_VALUE} (exclusive) and may support values outside of that range.

Implementation note: BigInteger constructors and operations throw ArithmeticException when the result is out of the supported range of -2^{Integer.MAX_VALUE} (exclusive) to +2^{Integer.MAX_VALUE} (exclusive).

How to prevent IFRAME from redirecting top-level window

Since the page you load inside the iframe can execute the "break out" code with a setInterval, onbeforeunload might not be that practical, since it could flud the user with 'Are you sure you want to leave?' dialogs.

Overlaying histograms with ggplot2 in R

While only a few lines are required to plot multiple/overlapping histograms in ggplot2, the results are't always satisfactory. There needs to be proper use of borders and coloring to ensure the eye can differentiate between histograms.

The following functions balance border colors, opacities, and superimposed density plots to enable the viewer to differentiate among distributions.

Single histogram:

plot_histogram <- function(df, feature) {
    plt <- ggplot(df, aes(x=eval(parse(text=feature)))) +
    geom_histogram(aes(y = ..density..), alpha=0.7, fill="#33AADE", color="black") +
    geom_density(alpha=0.3, fill="red") +
    geom_vline(aes(xintercept=mean(eval(parse(text=feature)))), color="black", linetype="dashed", size=1) +
    labs(x=feature, y = "Density")
    print(plt)
}

Multiple histogram:

plot_multi_histogram <- function(df, feature, label_column) {
    plt <- ggplot(df, aes(x=eval(parse(text=feature)), fill=eval(parse(text=label_column)))) +
    geom_histogram(alpha=0.7, position="identity", aes(y = ..density..), color="black") +
    geom_density(alpha=0.7) +
    geom_vline(aes(xintercept=mean(eval(parse(text=feature)))), color="black", linetype="dashed", size=1) +
    labs(x=feature, y = "Density")
    plt + guides(fill=guide_legend(title=label_column))
}

Usage:

Simply pass your data frame into the above functions along with desired arguments:

plot_histogram(iris, 'Sepal.Width')

plot_multi_histogram(iris, 'Sepal.Width', 'Species')

The extra parameter in plot_multi_histogram is the name of the column containing the category labels.

We can see this more dramatically by creating a dataframe with many different distribution means:

a <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 1), category=rep('A', 1000))
b <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 2), category=rep('B', 1000))
c <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 3), category=rep('C', 1000))
d <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 4), category=rep('D', 1000))
e <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 5), category=rep('E', 1000))
f <-data.frame(n=rnorm(1000, mean = 6), category=rep('F', 1000))
many_distros <- do.call('rbind', list(a,b,c,d,e,f))

Passing data frame in as before (and widening chart using options):

options(repr.plot.width = 20, repr.plot.height = 8)
plot_multi_histogram(many_distros, 'n', 'category')

convert string to specific datetime format?

No need to apply anything. Just add this code at the end of variable to which date is assigned. For example

   @todaydate = "2011-05-19 10:30:14"
   @todaytime.to_time.strftime('%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y')

You will get proper format as you like. You can check this at Rails Console

Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.4)
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :001 > todaytime = "2011-05-19 10:30:14"
 => "2011-05-19 10:30:14" 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :002 > todaytime
 => "2011-05-19 10:30:14" 
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :003 > todaytime.to_time
 => 2011-05-19 10:30:14 UTC
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :008 > todaytime.to_time.strftime('%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y')
 => "Thu May 19 10:30:14 UTC 2011"

Try 'date_format' gem to show date in different format.

Concatenate your client_id and client_secret, with a colon between them: [email protected]:12345678.
Base 64 encode the result: YWJjQGdtYWlsLmNvbToxMjM0NTY3OA==
Set the Authorization header: Authorization: Basic YWJjQGdtYWlsLmNvbToxMjM0NTY3OA==

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.

convert epoch time to date

Please take care that the epoch time is in second and Date object accepts Long value which is in milliseconds. Hence you would have to multiply epoch value with 1000 to use it as long value . Like below :-

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss");
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZone));
Long dateLong=Long.parseLong(sdf.format(epoch*1000));

Creating all possible k combinations of n items in C++

I thought my simple "all possible combination generator" might help someone, i think its a really good example for building something bigger and better

you can change N (characters) to any you like by just removing/adding from string array (you can change it to int as well). Current amount of characters is 36

you can also change K (size of the generated combinations) by just adding more loops, for each element, there must be one extra loop. Current size is 4

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
string num[] = {"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z" };

for (int i1 = 0; i1 < sizeof(num)/sizeof(string); i1++) {
    for (int i2 = 0; i2 < sizeof(num)/sizeof(string); i2++) {
        for (int i3 = 0; i3 < sizeof(num)/sizeof(string); i3++) {
            for (int i4 = 0; i4 < sizeof(num)/sizeof(string); i4++) {
                cout << num[i1] << num[i2] << num[i3] << num[i4] << endl;
            }
        }
    }
}}

Result

0: A A A
1: B A A
2: C A A
3: A B A
4: B B A
5: C B A
6: A C A
7: B C A
8: C C A
9: A A B
...

just keep in mind that the amount of combinations can be ridicules.

--UPDATE--

a better way to generate all possible combinations would be with this code, which can be easily adjusted and configured in the "variables" section of the code.

#include<iostream>
#include<math.h>

int main() {
    //VARIABLES
    char chars[] = { 'A', 'B', 'C' };
    int password[4]{0};

    //SIZES OF VERIABLES
    int chars_length = sizeof(chars) / sizeof(char);
    int password_length = sizeof(password) / sizeof(int);

    //CYCKLE TROUGH ALL OF THE COMBINATIONS
    for (int i = 0; i < pow(chars_length, password_length); i++){
       
        //CYCKLE TROUGH ALL OF THE VERIABLES IN ARRAY
        for (int i2 = 0; i2 < password_length; i2++) {
            //IF VERIABLE IN "PASSWORD" ARRAY IS THE LAST VERIABLE IN CHAR "CHARS" ARRRAY
            if (password[i2] == chars_length) {
                //THEN INCREMENT THE NEXT VERIABLE IN "PASSWORD" ARRAY
                password[i2 + 1]++;
                //AND RESET THE VERIABLE BACK TO ZERO
                password[i2] = 0;
            }}

        //PRINT OUT FIRST COMBINATION
        std::cout << i << ": ";
        for (int i2 = 0; i2 < password_length; i2++) {
            std::cout << chars[password[i2]] << " ";
        }
        std::cout << "\n";

        //INCREMENT THE FIRST VERIABLE IN ARRAY
        password[0]++;
    }}

Changing API level Android Studio

If you're having troubles specifying the SDK target to Google APIs instead of the base Platform SDK just change the compileSdkVersion 19 to compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Google APIs:19"

Rename multiple files by replacing a particular pattern in the filenames using a shell script

this example, I am assuming that all your image files begin with "IMG" and you want to replace "IMG" with "VACATION"

solution : first identified all jpg files and then replace keyword

find . -name '*jpg' -exec bash -c 'echo mv $0 ${0/IMG/VACATION}' {} \;

A SQL Query to select a string between two known strings

SELECT SUBSTRING('aaaaa$bbbbb$ccccc',instr('aaaaa$bbbbb$ccccc','$',1,1)+1, instr('aaaaa$bbbbb$ccccc','$',1,2)-1) -instr('aaaaa$bbbbb$ccccc','$',1,1)) as My_String

Boolean checking in the 'if' condition

It really also depends on how you name your variable.

When people are asking "which is better practice" - this implicitly implies that both are correct, so it's just a matter of which is easier to read and maintain.

If you name your variable "status" (which is the case in your example code), I would much prefer to see

if(status == false) // if status is false

On the other hand, if you had named your variable isXXX (e.g. isReadableCode), then the former is more readable. consider:

if(!isReadable) { // if not readable
  System.out.println("I'm having a headache reading your code");
}

What is CDATA in HTML?

CDATA is a sequence of characters from the document character set and may include character entities. User agents should interpret attribute values as follows: Replace character entities with characters,

Ignore line feeds,

Replace each carriage return or tab with a single space.

A python class that acts like dict

I really don't see the right answer to this anywhere

class MyClass(dict):
    
    def __init__(self, a_property):
        self[a_property] = a_property

All you are really having to do is define your own __init__ - that really is all that there is too it.

Another example (little more complex):

class MyClass(dict):

    def __init__(self, planet):
        self[planet] = planet
        info = self.do_something_that_returns_a_dict()
        if info:
            for k, v in info.items():
                self[k] = v

    def do_something_that_returns_a_dict(self):
        return {"mercury": "venus", "mars": "jupiter"}

This last example is handy when you want to embed some kind of logic.

Anyway... in short class GiveYourClassAName(dict) is enough to make your class act like a dict. Any dict operation you do on self will be just like a regular dict.

Creating SolidColorBrush from hex color value

How to get Color from Hexadecimal color code using .NET?

This I think is what you are after, hope it answers your question.

To get your code to work use Convert.ToByte instead of Convert.ToInt...

Color.FromRgb(
Convert.ToByte(colour.Substring(1,2),16),
Convert.ToByte(colour.Substring(3,2),16),
Convert.ToByte(colour.Substring(5,2),16));

AngularJS Folder Structure

enter image description here

Sort By Type

On the left we have the app organized by type. Not too bad for smaller apps, but even here you can start to see it gets more difficult to find what you are looking for. When I want to find a specific view and its controller, they are in different folders. It can be good to start here if you are not sure how else to organize the code as it is quite easy to shift to the technique on the right: structure by feature.

Sort By Feature (preferred)

On the right the project is organized by feature. All of the layout views and controllers go in the layout folder, the admin content goes in the admin folder, and the services that are used by all of the areas go in the services folder. The idea here is that when you are looking for the code that makes a feature work, it is located in one place. Services are a bit different as they “service” many features. I like this once my app starts to take shape as it becomes a lot easier to manage for me.

How to get text of an input text box during onKeyPress?

I normally concatenate the field's value (i.e. before it's updated) with the key associated with the key event. The following uses recent JS so would need adjusting for support in older IE's.

Recent JS example

document.querySelector('#test').addEventListener('keypress', function(evt) {
    var real_val = this.value + String.fromCharCode(evt.which);
    if (evt.which == 8) real_val = real_val.substr(0, real_val.length - 2);
    alert(real_val);
}, false);

Support for older IEs example

//get field
var field = document.getElementById('test');

//bind, somehow
if (window.addEventListener)
    field.addEventListener('keypress', keypress_cb, false);
else
    field.attachEvent('onkeypress', keypress_cb);

//callback
function keypress_cb(evt) {
    evt = evt || window.event;
    var code = evt.which || evt.keyCode,
        real_val = this.value + String.fromCharCode(code);
    if (code == 8) real_val = real_val.substr(0, real_val.length - 2);
}

[EDIT - this approach, by default, disables key presses for things like back space, CTRL+A. The code above accommodates for the former, but would need further tinkering to allow for the latter, and a few other eventualities. See Ian Boyd's comment below.]

What is ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING used for in Teradata?

ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING is no Teradata-specific syntax, it's Standard SQL. Together with the ORDER BY it defines the window on which the result is calculated.

Logically a Windowed Aggregate Function is newly calculated for each row within the PARTITION based on all ROWS between a starting row and an ending row.

Starting and ending rows might be fixed or relative to the current row based on the following keywords:

CURRENT ROW, the current row
UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, all rows before the current row -> fixed
UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING, all rows after the current row -> fixed
x PRECEDING, x rows before the current row -> relative
y FOLLOWING, y rows after the current row -> relative

Possible kinds of calculation include:

Both starting and ending row are fixed, the window consists of all rows of a partition, e.g. a Group Sum, i.e. aggregate plus detail rows
One end is fixed, the other relative to current row, the number of rows increases or decreases, e.g. a Running Total, Remaining Sum
Starting and ending row are relative to current row, the number of rows within a window is fixed, e.g. a Moving Average over n rows

So SUM(x) OVER (ORDER BY col ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) results in a Cumulative Sum or Running Total

11 -> 11
 2 -> 11 +  2                = 13
 3 -> 13 +  3 (or 11+2+3)    = 16
44 -> 16 + 44 (or 11+2+3+44) = 60

Pass user defined environment variable to tomcat

My recipe to fix it:

DID NOT WORK >> Set as system environment variable: I had set the environment variable in my mac bash_profile, however, Tomcat did not see that variable.
DID NOT WORK >> setenv.sh: Apache's recommendation was to have user-defined environment variables in setenv.sh file and I did that.
THIS WORKED!! >> After a little research into Tomcat startup scripts, I found that environment variables set using setenv.sh are lost during the startup. So I had to edit my catalina.sh against the recommendation of Apache and that did the trick.

Add your -DUSER_DEFINED variable in the run command in catalina.sh.

eval exec "\"$_RUNJAVA\"" "\"$LOGGING_CONFIG\"" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
  -classpath "\"$CLASSPATH\"" \
  -Djava.security.manager \
  -Djava.security.policy=="\"$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy\"" \
  -Dcatalina.base="\"$CATALINA_BASE\"" \
  -Dcatalina.home="\"$CATALINA_HOME\"" \
  -Djava.io.tmpdir="\"$CATALINA_TMPDIR\"" \
  -DUSER_DEFINED="$USER_DEFINED" \
  org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start

P.S: This problem could have been local to my computer. Others would have different problems. Adding my answer to this post just in case anyone is still facing issues with Tomcat not seeing the environment vars after trying out all recommended approaches.

C# : 'is' keyword and checking for Not

C# 9 (released with .NET 5) includes the logical patterns and, or and not, which allows us to write this more elegantly:

if (child is not IContainer) { ... }

Likewise, this pattern can be used to check for null:

if (child is not null) { ... }

  overflow: hidden;
}

What is the best way to get the minimum or maximum value from an Array of numbers?

The theoretical answers from everyone else are all neat, but let's be pragmatic. ActionScript provides the tools you need so that you don't even have to write a loop in this case!

First, note that Math.min() and Math.max() can take any number of arguments. Also, it's important to understand the apply() method available to Function objects. It allows you to pass arguments to the function using an Array. Let's take advantage of both:

var myArray:Array = [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2];
var maxValue:Number = Math.max.apply(null, myArray);
var minValue:Number = Math.min.apply(null, myArray);

Here's the best part: the "loop" is actually run using native code (inside Flash Player), so it's faster than searching for the minimum or maximum value using a pure ActionScript loop.

Where could I buy a valid SSL certificate?

Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority made by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). It is sponsored by well-known organisations such as Mozilla, Cisco or Google Chrome. All modern browsers are compatible and trust Let's Encrypt.

All certificates are free (even wildcard certificates)! For security reasons, the certificates expire pretty fast (after 90 days). For this reason, it is recommended to install an ACME client, which will handle automatic certificate renewal.

There are many clients you can use to install a Let's Encrypt certificate:

Let’s Encrypt uses the ACME protocol to verify that you control a given domain name and to issue you a certificate. To get a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you’ll need to choose a piece of ACME client software to use. - https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/

Returning a C string from a function

Note this new function:

const char* myFunction()
{
    static char array[] = "my string";
    return array;
}

I defined "array" as static. Otherwise when the function ends, the variable (and the pointer you are returning) gets out of scope. Since that memory is allocated on the stack, and it will get corrupted. The downside of this implementation is that the code is not reentrant and not threadsafe.

Another alternative would be to use malloc to allocate the string in the heap, and then free on the correct locations of your code. This code will be reentrant and threadsafe.

As noted in the comment, this is a very bad practice, since an attacker can then inject code to your application (he/she needs to open the code using GDB, then make a breakpoint and modify the value of a returned variable to overflow and fun just gets started).

It is much more recommended to let the caller handle about memory allocations. See this new example:

char* myFunction(char* output_str, size_t max_len)
{
   const char *str = "my string";
   size_t l = strlen(str);
   if (l+1 > max_len) {
      return NULL;
   }
   strcpy(str, str, l);
   return input;
}

Note that the only content which can be modified is the one that the user. Another side effect - this code is now threadsafe, at least from the library point of view. The programmer calling this method should verify that the memory section used is threadsafe.

Hive cast string to date dd-MM-yyyy

Let's say you have a column 'birth_day' in your table which is in string format, you should use the following query to filter using birth_day

date_Format(birth_day, 'yyyy-MM-dd')

You can use it in a query in the following way

select * from yourtable
where 
date_Format(birth_day, 'yyyy-MM-dd') = '2019-04-16';

What's the difference between a Future and a Promise?

Not sure if this can be an answer but as I see what others have said for someone it may look like you need two separate abstractions for both of these concepts so that one of them (Future) is just a read-only view of the other (Promise) ... but actually this is not needed.

For example take a look at how promises are defined in javascript:

https://promisesaplus.com/

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise

The focus is on the composability using the then method like:

asyncOp1()
.then(function(op1Result){
  // do something
  return asyncOp2();
})
.then(function(op2Result){
  // do something more
  return asyncOp3();
})
.then(function(op3Result){
  // do something even more
  return syncOp4(op3Result);
})
...
.then(function(result){
  console.log(result);
})
.catch(function(error){
  console.log(error);
})

which makes asynchronous computation to look like synchronous:

try {
  op1Result = syncOp1();
  // do something
  op1Result = syncOp2();
  // do something more
  op3Result = syncOp3();
  // do something even more
  syncOp4(op3Result);
  ...
  console.log(result);
} catch(error) {
  console.log(error);
}

which is pretty cool. (Not as cool as async-await but async-await just removes the boilerplate ....then(function(result) {.... from it).

And actually their abstraction is pretty good as the promise constructor

new Promise( function(resolve, reject) { /* do it */ } );

allows you to provide two callbacks which can be used to either complete the Promise successfully or with an error. So that only the code that constructs the Promise can complete it and the code that receives an already constructed Promise object has the read-only view.

With inheritance the above can be achieved if resolve and reject are protected methods.

What do the terms "CPU bound" and "I/O bound" mean?

CPU Bound means the rate at which process progresses is limited by the speed of the CPU. A task that performs calculations on a small set of numbers, for example multiplying small matrices, is likely to be CPU bound.

I/O Bound means the rate at which a process progresses is limited by the speed of the I/O subsystem. A task that processes data from disk, for example, counting the number of lines in a file is likely to be I/O bound.

Memory bound means the rate at which a process progresses is limited by the amount memory available and the speed of that memory access. A task that processes large amounts of in memory data, for example multiplying large matrices, is likely to be Memory Bound.

Cache bound means the rate at which a process progress is limited by the amount and speed of the cache available. A task that simply processes more data than fits in the cache will be cache bound.

I/O Bound would be slower than Memory Bound would be slower than Cache Bound would be slower than CPU Bound.

The solution to being I/O bound isn't necessarily to get more Memory. In some situations, the access algorithm could be designed around the I/O, Memory or Cache limitations. See Cache Oblivious Algorithms.

How to count down in for loop?

In python, when you have an iterable, usually you iterate without an index:

letters = 'abcdef' # or a list, tupple or other iterable
for l in letters:
    print(l)

If you need to traverse the iterable in reverse order, you would do:

for l in letters[::-1]:
    print(l)

When for any reason you need the index, you can use enumerate:

for i, l in enumerate(letters, start=1): #start is 0 by default
    print(i,l)

You can enumerate in reverse order too...

for i, l in enumerate(letters[::-1])
    print(i,l)

ON ANOTHER NOTE...

Usually when we traverse an iterable we do it to apply the same procedure or function to each element. In these cases, it is better to use map:

If we need to capitilize each letter:

map(str.upper, letters)

Or get the Unicode code of each letter:

map(ord, letters)

Changing the default title of confirm() in JavaScript?

I know this is not possible for alert(), so I guess it is not possible for confirm either. Reason is security: it is not allowed for you to change it so you wouldn't present yourself as some system process or something.

Git commit date

if you got troubles with windows cmd command and .bat just escape percents like that

git show -s --format=%%ct

The % character has a special meaning for command line parameters and FOR parameters. To treat a percent as a regular character, double it: %%

How do I pause my shell script for a second before continuing?

Use the sleep command.

Example:

sleep .5 # Waits 0.5 second.
sleep 5  # Waits 5 seconds.
sleep 5s # Waits 5 seconds.
sleep 5m # Waits 5 minutes.
sleep 5h # Waits 5 hours.
sleep 5d # Waits 5 days.

One can also employ decimals when specifying a time unit; e.g. sleep 1.5s

Change mysql user password using command line

As of MySQL 5.7.6, use `ALTER USER`

Example:

ALTER USER 'username' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Because:

SET PASSWORD ... = PASSWORD('auth_string') syntax is deprecated as of MySQL 5.7.6 and will be removed in a future MySQL release.
SET PASSWORD ... = 'auth_string' syntax is not deprecated, but ALTER USER is now the preferred statement for assigning passwords.

jQuery find parent form

To me, this looks like the simplest/fastest:

$('form input[type=submit]').click(function() { // attach the listener to your button
   var yourWantedObjectIsHere = $(this.form);   // use the native JS object with `this`
});

Java : Sort integer array without using Arrays.sort()

This will surely help you.

int n[] = {4,6,9,1,7};

    for(int i=n.length;i>=0;i--){
        for(int j=0;j<n.length-1;j++){
            if(n[j] > n[j+1]){
                swapNumbers(j,j+1,n);
            }
        }

    }
    printNumbers(n);
}
private static void swapNumbers(int i, int j, int[] array) {

    int temp;
    temp = array[i];
    array[i] = array[j];
    array[j] = temp;
}

private static void printNumbers(int[] input) {

    for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
        System.out.print(input[i] + ", ");
    }
    System.out.println("\n");
}

How to install xgboost in Anaconda Python (Windows platform)?

SET NAMES utf8 in MySQL?

From the manual:

SET NAMES indicates what character set the client will use to send SQL statements to the server.

More elaborately, (and once again, gratuitously lifted from the manual):

SET NAMES indicates what character set the client will use to send SQL statements to the server. Thus, SET NAMES 'cp1251' tells the server, “future incoming messages from this client are in character set cp1251.” It also specifies the character set that the server should use for sending results back to the client. (For example, it indicates what character set to use for column values if you use a SELECT statement.)

Unable to compile simple Java 10 / Java 11 project with Maven

It might not exactly be the same error, but I had a similar one.

Check Maven Java Version

Since Maven is also runnig with Java, check first with which version your Maven is running on:

mvn --version | grep -i java

It returns:

Java version 1.8.0_151, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\tools\jdk\openjdk1.8

Incompatible version

Here above my maven is running with Java Version 1.8.0_151. So even if I specify maven to compile with Java 11:

<properties>
    <java.version>11</java.version>
    <maven.compiler.source>${java.version}</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>${java.version}</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

It will logically print out this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project efa-example-commons-task: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 11 -> [Help 1]

How to set specific java version to Maven

The logical thing to do is to set a higher Java Version to Maven (e.g. Java version 11 instead 1.8).

Maven make use of the environment variable JAVA_HOME to find the Java Version to run. So change this variable to the JDK you want to compile against (e.g. OpenJDK 11).

Sanity check

Then run again mvn --version to make sure the configuration has been taken care of:

mvn --version | grep -i java

yields

Java version: 11.0.2, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\tools\jdk\openjdk11

Which is much better and correct to compile code written with the Java 11 specifications.

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

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

Change value in a cell based on value in another cell

If you want to do something like the following example, you'd have to use nested ifs.

If percentage is greater than or equal to 93%, then corresponding value in B should be 4 and if the percentage is greater than or equal to 90% and less than 92%, then corresponding value in B to be 3.7, etc.

Here's how you'd do it:

=IF(A2>=93%, 4, IF(A2>=90%, 3.7,IF(A2>=87%,3.3,0)))

size of uint8, uint16 and uint32?

uint8, uint16, uint32, and uint64 are probably Microsoft-specific types.

As of the 1999 standard, C supports standard typedefs with similar meanings, defined in <stdint.h>: uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, and uint64_t. I'll assume that the Microsoft-specific types are defined similarly. Microsoft does support <stdint.h>, at least as of Visual Studio 2010, but older code may use uint8 et al.

The predefined types char, short, int et al have sizes that vary from one C implementation to another. The C standard has certain minimum requirements (char is at least 8 bits, short and int are at least 16, long is at least 32, and each type in that list is at least as wide as the previous type), but permits some flexibility. For example, I've seen systems where int is 16, 32, or 64 bits.

char is almost always exactly 8 bits, but it's permitted to be wider. And plain char may be either signed or unsigned.

uint8_t is required to be an unsigned integer type that's exactly 8 bits wide. It's likely to be a typedef for unsigned char, though it might be a typedef for plain char if plain char happens to be unsigned. If there is no predefined 8-bit unsigned type, then uint8_t will not be defined at all.

Similarly, each uintN_t type is an unsigned type that's exactly N bits wide.

In addition, <stdint.h> defines corresponding signed intN_t types, as well as int_fastN_t and int_leastN_t types that are at least the specified width.

The [u]intN_t types are guaranteed to have no padding bits, so the size of each is exactly N bits. The signed intN_t types are required to use a 2's-complement representation.

Although uint32_t might be the same as unsigned int, for example, you shouldn't assume that. Use unsigned int when you need an unsigned integer type that's at least 16 bits wide, and that's the "natural" size for the current system. Use uint32_t when you need an unsigned integer type that's exactly 32 bits wide.

(And no, uint64 or uint64_t is not the same as double; double is a floating-point type.)

Compiling an application for use in highly radioactive environments

Perhaps it would help to know does it mean for the hardware to be "designed for this environment". How does it correct and/or indicates the presence of SEU errors ?

At one space exploration related project, we had a custom MCU, which would raise an exception/interrupt on SEU errors, but with some delay, i.e. some cycles may pass/instructions be executed after the one insn which caused the SEU exception.

Particularly vulnerable was the data cache, so a handler would invalidate the offending cache line and restart the program. Only that, due to the imprecise nature of the exception, the sequence of insns headed by the exception raising insn may not be restartable.

We identified the hazardous (not restartable) sequences (like lw $3, 0x0($2), followed by an insn, which modifies $2 and is not data-dependent on $3), and I made modifications to GCC, so such sequences do not occur (e.g. as a last resort, separating the two insns by a nop).

Just something to consider ...
