Disable output buffering

Yes, it is enabled by default. You can disable it by using the -u option on the command line when calling python.

Creating a LINQ select from multiple tables

You must create a new anonymous type:

 select new { op, pg }

Controlling Maven final name of jar artifact

In my maven ee project I am using:

'tuple' object does not support item assignment

Tuples, in python can't have their values changed. If you'd like to change the contained values though I suggest using a list:

[1,2,3] not (1,2,3)

Spring MVC: How to return image in @ResponseBody?

It's work for me in Spring 4.

@RequestMapping(value = "/image/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void findImage(@PathVariable("id") String id, HttpServletResponse resp){

        final Foto anafoto = <find object>
        resp.reset();
        resp.setContentType(MediaType.IMAGE_JPEG_VALUE);
        resp.setContentLength(anafoto.getImage().length);

        final BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(anafoto.getImageInBytes()));

        try {
            FileCopyUtils.copy(in, resp.getOutputStream());
            resp.flushBuffer();
        } catch (final IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

}

How to ignore deprecation warnings in Python

When you want to ignore warnings only in functions you can do the following.

import warnings
from functools import wraps


def ignore_warnings(f):
    @wraps(f)
    def inner(*args, **kwargs):
        with warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) as w:
            warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
            response = f(*args, **kwargs)
        return response
    return inner

@ignore_warnings
def foo(arg1, arg2):
    ...
    write your code here without warnings
    ...

@ignore_warnings
def foo2(arg1, arg2, arg3):
    ...
    write your code here without warnings
    ...

Just add the @ignore_warnings decorator on the function you want to ignore all warnings

ngFor with index as value in attribute

I think its already been answered before, but just a correction if you are populating an unordered list, the *ngFor will come in the element which you want to repeat. So it should be insdide <li>. Also, Angular2 now uses let to declare a variable.

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index" [attr.data-index]="i">     
               {{item}}
    </li>
</ul>

PowerShell The term is not recognized as cmdlet function script file or operable program

Yet another way this error message can occur...

If PowerShell is open in a directory other than the target file, e.g.:

If someScript.ps1 is located here: C:\SlowLearner\some_missing_path\someScript.ps1, then C:\SlowLearner>. ./someScript.ps1 wont work.

In that case, navigate to the path: cd some_missing_path then this would work:

C:\SlowLearner\some_missing_path>. ./someScript.ps1

Google Play error "Error while retrieving information from server [DF-DFERH-01]"

It works for me.....

I went to the settings on my phone and deleted my gmail account then re-added and synced the account and it worked for me.

settings>accounts>delete account settings>accounts>add account>sync and follow screen prompts

hope it works for you, i was receiving the df-dferh-01 error as well and couldnt buy in app purchases and this did the trick

error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token

This should be a comment, but comments don't allow multi-line code.

Here's what's happening:

in Event.cpp

#include "Event.h"

preprocessor starts processing Event.h

#ifndef EVENT_H_

it isn't defined yet, so keep going

#define EVENT_H_
#include "common.h"

common.h gets processed ok

#include "Item.h"

Item.h gets processed ok

#include "Flight.h"

Flight.h gets processed ok

#include "Landing.h"

preprocessor starts processing Landing.h

#ifndef LANDING_H_

not defined yet, keep going

#define LANDING_H_

#include "Event.h"

preprocessor starts processing Event.h

#ifndef EVENT_H_

This IS defined already, the whole rest of the file gets skipped. Continuing with Landing.h

class Landing: public Event {

The preprocessor doesn't care about this, but the compiler goes "WTH is Event? I haven't heard about Event yet."

Multiple WHERE Clauses with LINQ extension methods

Surely:

if (useAdditionalClauses) 
{ 
  results = 
    results.Where(o => o.OrderStatus == OrderStatus.Open && 
    o.CustomerID == customerID)  
} 

Or just another .Where() call like this one (although I don't know why you would want to, unless it's split by another boolean control variable):

if (useAdditionalClauses) 
{ 
  results = results.Where(o => o.OrderStatus == OrderStatus.Open).
    Where(o => o.CustomerID == customerID);
} 

Or another reassignment to results: `results = results.Where(blah).

SQL Server: Get table primary key using sql query

Using HttpClient and HttpPost in Android with post parameters

I've just checked and i have the same code as you and it works perferctly. The only difference is how i fill my List for the params :

I use a : ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair> params

and fill it this way :

 params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("apikey", apikey);

I do not use any JSONObject to send params to the webservices.

Are you obliged to use the JSONObject ?

Change primary key column in SQL Server

Necromancing.
It looks you have just as good a schema to work with as me... Here is how to do it correctly:

In this example, the table name is dbo.T_SYS_Language_Forms, and the column name is LANG_UID

-- First, chech if the table exists...
IF 0 < (
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES 
    WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
    AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
    AND TABLE_NAME = 'T_SYS_Language_Forms'
)
BEGIN
    -- Check for NULL values in the primary-key column
    IF 0 = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T_SYS_Language_Forms WHERE LANG_UID IS NULL)
    BEGIN
        ALTER TABLE T_SYS_Language_Forms ALTER COLUMN LANG_UID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL 

        -- No, don't drop, FK references might already exist...
        -- Drop PK if exists 
        -- ALTER TABLE T_SYS_Language_Forms DROP CONSTRAINT pk_constraint_name 
        --DECLARE @pkDropCommand nvarchar(1000) 
        --SET @pkDropCommand = N'ALTER TABLE T_SYS_Language_Forms DROP CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME((SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS

        --AND TABLE_NAME = 'T_SYS_Language_Forms' 
        ----AND CONSTRAINT_NAME = 'PK_T_SYS_Language_Forms' 
        --))
        ---- PRINT @pkDropCommand

        -- Instead do

        -- Check if they keys are unique (it is very possible they might not be) 
        IF 1 >= (SELECT TOP 1 COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM T_SYS_Language_Forms GROUP BY LANG_UID ORDER BY cnt DESC)
        BEGIN

            -- If no Primary key for this table
            IF 0 =  
            (

How to create a numpy array of arbitrary length strings?

You can do so by creating an array of dtype=object. If you try to assign a long string to a normal numpy array, it truncates the string:

>>> a = numpy.array(['apples', 'foobar', 'cowboy'])
>>> a[2] = 'bananas'
>>> a
array(['apples', 'foobar', 'banana'], 
      dtype='|S6')

But when you use dtype=object, you get an array of python object references. So you can have all the behaviors of python strings:

>>> a = numpy.array(['apples', 'foobar', 'cowboy'], dtype=object)
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, cowboy], dtype=object)
>>> a[2] = 'bananas'
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, bananas], dtype=object)

Indeed, because it's an array of objects, you can assign any kind of python object to the array:

>>> a[2] = {1:2, 3:4}
>>> a
array([apples, foobar, {1: 2, 3: 4}], dtype=object)

However, this undoes a lot of the benefits of using numpy, which is so fast because it works on large contiguous blocks of raw memory. Working with python objects adds a lot of overhead. A simple example:

>>> a = numpy.array(['abba' for _ in range(10000)])
>>> b = numpy.array(['abba' for _ in range(10000)], dtype=object)
>>> %timeit a.copy()
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.51 us per loop
>>> %timeit b.copy()
10000 loops, best of 3: 48.4 us per loop

What does the keyword "transient" mean in Java?

Google is your friend - first hit - also you might first have a look at what serialization is.

It marks a member variable not to be serialized when it is persisted to streams of bytes. When an object is transferred through the network, the object needs to be 'serialized'. Serialization converts the object state to serial bytes. Those bytes are sent over the network and the object is recreated from those bytes. Member variables marked by the java transient keyword are not transferred, they are lost intentionally.

Example from there, slightly modified (thanks @pgras):

public class Foo implements Serializable
 {
   private String saveMe;
   private transient String dontSaveMe;
   private transient String password;
   //...
 }

Why are empty catch blocks a bad idea?

It's probably never the right thing because you're silently passing every possible exception. If there's a specific exception you're expecting, then you should test for it, rethrow if it's not your exception.

try
{
    // Do some processing.
}
catch (FileNotFound fnf)
{
    HandleFileNotFound(fnf);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    if (!IsGenericButExpected(e))
        throw;
}

public bool IsGenericButExpected(Exception exception)
{
    var expected = false;
    if (exception.Message == "some expected message")
    {
        // Handle gracefully ... ie. log or something.
        expected = true;
    }

    return expected;
}

Polynomial time and exponential time

o(n sequre) is polynimal time complexity while o(2^n) is exponential time complexity if p=np when best case , in the worst case p=np not equal becasue when input size n grow so long or input sizer increase so longer its going to worst case and handling so complexity growth rate increase and depend on n size of input when input is small it is polynimal when input size large and large so p=np not equal it means growth rate depend on size of input "N". optimization, sat, clique, and independ set also met in exponential to polynimal.

Thin Black Border for a Table

Style the td and th instead

td, th {
    border: 1px solid black;
}

And also to make it so there is no spacing between cells use:

table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

(also note, you have border-style: none; which should be border-style: solid;)

See an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/KbjNr/

How to install Java 8 on Mac

If you are on a Mac, then Homebrew is the way to install stuff.

It seems that version 8 is no longer the most recent, so it isnt available using the default brew cask install java.

Instead I managed by doing the following:

brew install homebrew/cask-versions/

If this fails, just try the next one directly:

brew install homebrew/cask-versions/adoptopenjdk8

Test with brew cask list or java -version

How to use "raise" keyword in Python

raise causes an exception to be raised. Some other languages use the verb 'throw' instead.

It's intended to signal an error situation; it flags that the situation is exceptional to the normal flow.

Raised exceptions can be caught again by code 'upstream' (a surrounding block, or a function earlier on the stack) to handle it, using a try, except combination.

HTML5 record audio to file

You can use Recordmp3js from GitHub to achieve your requirements. You can record from user's microphone and then get the file as an mp3. Finally upload it to your server.

I used this in my demo. There is a already a sample available with the source code by the author in this location : https://github.com/Audior/Recordmp3js

The demo is here: http://audior.ec/recordmp3js/

But currently works only on Chrome and Firefox.

Seems to work fine and pretty simple. Hope this helps.

How can you undo the last git add?

At date git prompts:

  1. use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage if files were not in the repo. It unstages the files keeping them there.
  2. use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage if the files were in the repo, and you are adding them as modified. It keeps the files as they are, and unstages them.

At my knowledge you cannot undo the git add -- but you can unstage a list of files as mentioned above.

How to change default format at created_at and updated_at value laravel

You could use

protected $casts = [
    'created_at' => "datetime:Y-m-d\TH:iPZ",
];

in your model class or any format following this link https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php

Remove from the beginning of std::vector

Two suggestions:

  1. Use std::deque instead of std::vector for better performance in your specific case and use the method std::deque::pop_front().
  2. Rethink (I mean: delete) the & in std::vector<ScanRule>& topPriorityRules;

Offset a background image from the right using CSS

!! Outdated answer, since CSS3 brought this feature

Is there a way to position a background image a certain number of pixels from the right of its element?

Nope.

Popular workarounds include

  • setting a margin-right on the element instead
  • adding transparent pixels to the image itself and positioning it top right
  • or calculating the position using jQuery after the element's width is known.

Cleanest way to build an SQL string in Java

How do you get string concatenation, aside from long SQL strings in PreparedStatements (that you could easily provide in a text file and load as a resource anyway) that you break over several lines?

You aren't creating SQL strings directly are you? That's the biggest no-no in programming. Please use PreparedStatements, and supply the data as parameters. It reduces the chance of SQL Injection vastly.

Launching Spring application Address already in use

first, check that who uses port 8080.

if the port 8080 is in use, change the listening port to 8181.

if you use IDEA, modify start configuration, Run-> Edit Configuration enter image description here

if you use mvn spring-boot, then use the command:

mvn spring-boot:run -Dserver.port=8181

if you use java -jar, then use the command:

java -jar xxxx.jar --server.port=8181

How to return multiple values in one column (T-SQL)?

Sorry, read the question wrong the first time. You can do something like this:

--must "initialize" result for this to work
select @result = ''

select @result = @result + alias
FROM aliases
WHERE username='Bob'

remove kernel on jupyter notebook

Just for completeness, you can get a list of kernels with jupyter kernelspec list, but I ran into a case where one of the kernels did not show up in this list. You can find all kernel names by opening a Jupyter notebook and selecting Kernel -> Change kernel. If you do not see everything in this list when you run jupyter kernelspec list, try looking in common Jupyter folders:

ls ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels  # usually where local kernels go
ls /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels  # usually where system-wide kernels go
ls /usr/share/jupyter/kernels  # also where system-wide kernels can go

Also, you can delete a kernel with jupyter kernelspec remove or jupyter kernelspec uninstall. The latter is an alias for remove. From the in-line help text for the command:

uninstall
    Alias for remove
remove
    Remove one or more Jupyter kernelspecs by name.

find path of current folder - cmd

for /f "delims=" %%i in ("%0") do set "curpath=%%~dpi"
echo "%curpath%"

or

echo "%cd%"

The double quotes are needed if the path contains any & characters.

Remove a CLASS for all child elements

This should work:

$("#table-filters>ul>li.active").removeClass("active");
//Find all `li`s with class `active`, children of `ul`s, children of `table-filters`

Extract values in Pandas value_counts()

First you have to sort the dataframe by the count column max to min if it's not sorted that way already. In your post, it is in the right order already but I will sort it anyways:

dataframe.sort_index(by='count', ascending=[False])
    col     count
0   apple   5
1   sausage 2
2   banana  2
3   cheese  1 

Then you can output the col column to a list:

dataframe['col'].tolist()
['apple', 'sausage', 'banana', 'cheese']

How can I convert a date to GMT?

Based on the accepted answer and the second highest scoring answer both are not perfect according to the comment so I mixed both to get something perfect:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var date = new Date(); //Current timestamp_x000D_
date = date.toGMTString(); _x000D_
//Based on the time zone where the date was created_x000D_
console.log(date);_x000D_
_x000D_
/*based on the comment getTimezoneOffset returns an offset based _x000D_
on the date it is called on, and the time zone of the computer the code is_x000D_
 running on. It does not supply the offset passed in when constructing a _x000D_
date from a string. */_x000D_
_x000D_
date = new Date(date); //will convert to present timestamp offset_x000D_
date = new Date(date.getTime() + (date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000)); _x000D_
console.log(date);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Subset dataframe by multiple logical conditions of rows to remove

Node.js Error: Cannot find module express

Given you have installed node on your system, install Express locally for your project using the following for Windows:

npm install express

or

npm install express --save

You might give it global access by using:

npm install -g express --save

Using Thymeleaf when the value is null

   <p data-th-text ="${#strings.defaultString(yourNullable,'defaultValueIfYourValueIsNull')}"></p>

Multiple condition in single IF statement

Yes that is valid syntax but it may well not do what you want.

Execution will continue after your RAISERROR except if you add a RETURN. So you will need to add a block with BEGIN ... END to hold the two statements.

Also I'm not sure why you plumped for severity 15. That usually indicates a syntax error.

Finally I'd simplify the conditions using IN

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[AddApplicationUser] (@TenantId BIGINT,
                                            @UserType TINYINT,
                                            @UserName NVARCHAR(100),
                                            @Password NVARCHAR(100))
AS
  BEGIN
      IF ( @TenantId IS NULL
           AND @UserType IN ( 0, 1 ) )
        BEGIN
            RAISERROR('The value for @TenantID should not be null',15,1);

            RETURN;
        END
  END 

History or log of commands executed in Git

git will show changes in commits that affect the index, such as git rm. It does not store a log of all git commands you execute.

However, a large number of git commands affect the index in some way, such as creating a new branch. These changes will show up in the commit history, which you can view with git log.

However, there are destructive changes that git can't track, such as git reset.

So, to answer your question, git does not store an absolute history of git commands you've executed in a repository. However, it is often possible to interpolate what command you've executed via the commit history.

Select row on click react-table

There is a HOC included for React-Table that allows for selection, even when filtering and paginating the table, the setup is slightly more advanced than the basic table so read through the info in the link below first.


enter image description here



After importing the HOC you can then use it like this with the necessary methods:

/**
* Toggle a single checkbox for select table
*/
toggleSelection(key: number, shift: string, row: string) {
    // start off with the existing state
    let selection = [...this.state.selection];
    const keyIndex = selection.indexOf(key);

    // check to see if the key exists
    if (keyIndex >= 0) {
        // it does exist so we will remove it using destructing
        selection = [
            ...selection.slice(0, keyIndex),
            ...selection.slice(keyIndex + 1)
        ];
    } else {
        // it does not exist so add it
        selection.push(key);
    }
    // update the state
    this.setState({ selection });
}

/**
* Toggle all checkboxes for select table
*/
toggleAll() {
    const selectAll = !this.state.selectAll;
    const selection = [];

    if (selectAll) {
        // we need to get at the internals of ReactTable
        const wrappedInstance = this.checkboxTable.getWrappedInstance();
        // the 'sortedData' property contains the currently accessible records based on the filter and sort
        const currentRecords = wrappedInstance.getResolvedState().sortedData;
        // we just push all the IDs onto the selection array
        currentRecords.forEach(item => {
            selection.push(item._original._id);
        });
    }
    this.setState({ selectAll, selection });
}

/**
* Whether or not a row is selected for select table
*/
isSelected(key: number) {
    return this.state.selection.includes(key);
}

<CheckboxTable
    ref={r => (this.checkboxTable = r)}
    toggleSelection={this.toggleSelection}
    selectAll={this.state.selectAll}
    toggleAll={this.toggleAll}
    selectType="checkbox"
    isSelected={this.isSelected}

Why does one use dependency injection?

Quite frankly, I believe people use these Dependency Injection libraries/frameworks because they just know how to do things in runtime, as opposed to load time. All this crazy machinery can be substituted by setting your CLASSPATH environment variable (or other language equivalent, like PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to point to your alternative implementations (all with the same name) of a particular class. So in the accepted answer you'd just leave your code like

var logger = new Logger() //sane, simple code

And the appropriate logger will be instantiated because the JVM (or whatever other runtime or .so loader you have) would fetch it from the class configured via the environment variable mentioned above.

No need to make everything an interface, no need to have the insanity of spawning broken objects to have stuff injected into them, no need to have insane constructors with every piece of internal machinery exposed to the world. Just use the native functionality of whatever language you're using instead of coming up with dialects that won't work in any other project.

P.S.: This is also true for testing/mocking. You can very well just set your environment to load the appropriate mock class, in load time, and skip the mocking framework madness.

Xcode stops working after set "xcode-select -switch"

You should be pointing it towards the Developer directory, not the Xcode application bundle. Run this:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

With recent versions of Xcode, you can go to Xcode ? Preferences… ? Locations and pick one of the options for Command Line Tools to set the location.

How to break out of the IF statement

You can return only if !something2 or use else return:

public void Method()
{
    if(something)
    {
        //some code
        if(something2)
        {
            //now I should break from ifs and go to te code outside ifs
        }
        if(!something2) // or else
            return;
    }
    // The code i want to go if the second if is true
}

Opening database file from within SQLite command-line shell

The same way you do it in other db system, you can use the name of the db for identifying double named tables. unique tablenames can used directly.

select * from ttt.table_name;

or if table name in all attached databases is unique

select * from my_unique_table_name;

But I think the of of sqlite-shell is only for manual lookup or manual data manipulation and therefor this way is more inconsequential

normally you would use sqlite-command-line in a script

'module' object is not callable - calling method in another file

  • from a directory_of_modules, you can import a specific_module.py
  • this specific_module.py, can contain a Class with some_methods() or just functions()
  • from a specific_module.py, you can instantiate a Class or call functions()
  • from this Class, you can execute some_method()

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python3
from directory_of_modules import specific_module
instance = specific_module.DbConnect("username","password")
instance.login()

Excerpts from PEP 8 - Style Guide for Python Code:

Modules should have short and all-lowercase names.

Notice: Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability.

A Python module is simply a source file(*.py), which can expose:

  • Class: names using the "CapWords" convention.

  • Function: names in lowercase, words separated by underscores.

  • Global Variables: the conventions are about the same as those for Functions.

Rebase array keys after unsetting elements

Use array_splice rather than unset:

$array = array(1,2,3,4,5);
foreach($array as $i => $info)
{
  if($info == 1 || $info == 2)
  {
    array_splice($array, $i, 1);
  }
}

print_r($array);

Working sample here.

Android: Create spinner programmatically from array

ArrayAdapter<String> should work.

i.e.:

Spinner spinner = new Spinner(this);
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
            (this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
           spinnerArray); //selected item will look like a spinner set from XML
spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout
                                                     .simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter); 

How can I refresh a page with jQuery?

How do I inject a controller into another controller in AngularJS

There is no need to import/Inject your controller in JS. You can just inject your controller/nested controller through your HTML.It's worked for me. Like :

<div ng-controller="TestCtrl1">
    <div ng-controller="TestCtrl2">
      <!-- your code--> 
    </div> 
</div>

matplotlib: colorbars and its text labels

To add to tacaswell's answer, the colorbar() function has an optional cax input you can use to pass an axis on which the colorbar should be drawn. If you are using that input, you can directly set a label using that axis.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
heatmap = ax.imshow(data)
divider = make_axes_locatable(ax)
cax = divider.append_axes('bottom', size='10%', pad=0.6)
cb = fig.colorbar(heatmap, cax=cax, orientation='horizontal')

cax.set_xlabel('data label')  # cax == cb.ax

How to include a sub-view in Blade templates?

As of Laravel 5.6, if you have this kind of structure and you want to include another blade file inside a subfolder,

|--- views

|------- parentFolder (Folder)

|---------- name.blade.php (Blade File)

|---------- childFolder (Folder)

|-------------- mypage.blade.php (Blade File)

name.blade.php

  <html>
      @include('parentFolder.childFolder.mypage')
  </html>

phpMyAdmin - The MySQL Extension is Missing

Just as others stated you need to remove the ';' from:
;extension=php_mysql.dll and
;extension=php_mysqli.dll

in your php.ini to enable mysql and mysqli extensions. But MOST IMPORTANT of all, you should set the extension_dir in your php.ini to point to your extensions directory. The default most of the time is "ext". You should change it to the absolute path to the extensions folder. i.e. if you have your xampp installed on drive C, then C:/xampp/php/ext is the absolute path to the ext folder, and It should work like a charm!

Retrieve WordPress root directory path?

   Please try this for get the url of root file.

First Way:

 $path = get_home_path();
   print "Path: ".$path; 
// Return "Path: /var/www/htdocs/" or

// "Path: /var/www/htdocs/wordpress/" if it is subfolder

Second Way:

And you can also use 

    "ABSPATH"

this constant is define in wordpress config file.

jquery - Click event not working for dynamically created button

the simple and easy way to do that is use on event:

$('body').on('click','#element',function(){
    //somthing
});

but we can say this is not the best way to do this. I suggest a another way to do this is use clone() method instead of using dynamic html. Write some html in you file for example:

<div id='div1'></div>

Now in the script tag make a clone of this div then all the properties of this div would follow with new element too. For Example:

var dynamicDiv = jQuery('#div1').clone(true);

Now use the element dynamicDiv wherever you want to add it or change its properties as you like. Now all jQuery functions will work with this element

C++ How do I convert a std::chrono::time_point to long and back

time_point objects only support arithmetic with other time_point or duration objects.

You'll need to convert your long to a duration of specified units, then your code should work correctly.

NUnit Unit tests not showing in Test Explorer with Test Adapter installed

I had this problem too but the cause was different. I'm using VS2017 with F# 4.0.

Firstly, the console in Visual Studio does not give you enough details why the tests could not be found; it will just fail to the load the DLL with the tests. So use NUnit3console.exe on the command line as this gives you more details.

In my case, it was because the test adapter was looking for a newer version of the F# Core DLL (4.4.1.0) (F# 4.1) whereas I'm still using 4.4.0.0 (F# 4.0). So I just added this to the app.config of the test project:-

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="FSharp.Core" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-65535.65535.65535.65535" newVersion="4.4.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>

i.e. redirect to the earlier F# core.

PostgreSQL: Show tables in PostgreSQL

Note that \dt alone will list tables in the public schema of the database you're using. I like to keep my tables in separate schemas, so the accepted answer didn't work for me.

To list all tables within a specific schema, I needed to:

1) Connect to the desired database:

psql mydb

2) Specify the schema name I want to see tables for after the \dt command, like this:

\dt myschema.*

This shows me the results I'm interested in:

               List of relations
 Schema   |       Name      | Type  |  Owner   
----------+-----------------+-------+----------
 myschema | users           | table | postgres
 myschema | activity        | table | postgres
 myschema | roles           | table | postgres

Meaning of "referencing" and "dereferencing" in C

For a start, you have them backwards: & is reference and * is dereference.

Referencing a variable means accessing the memory address of the variable:

int i = 5;
int * p;
p = &i; //&i returns the memory address of the variable i.

Dereferencing a variable means accessing the variable stored at a memory address:

int i = 5;
int * p;
p = &i;
*p = 7; //*p returns the variable stored at the memory address stored in p, which is i.
//i is now 7

Google Drive as FTP Server

What about running the google-drive-ftp-adapter application in your local pc and then connect your filezilla client to that application? The google-drive-ftp-adapter application is not an online service, but its an alternative solution to connect to google drive through ftp.

The google-drive-ftp-adapter is an open source application hosted in github and it is a kind of standalone ftp-server java application that connects to your google drive in behalf of you, acting as a bridge (or adapter) between your ftp client and the google drive service. Once you have running the google-drive-ftp adapter, you can connect your preferred FTP client to the google-drive-ftp-adapter ftp server in your localhost (or wherever the app is running, like in a remote machine) to manage your files.

I use it in conjunction with beyond compare to synchronize my local files against the ones I have in the google drive and it serves well for the purpose.

This is the current github link hosting the google-drive-ftp-adapter repository: https://github.com/andresoviedo/google-drive-ftp-adapter

Java - Search for files in a directory

I tried many ways to find the file type I wanted, and here are my results when done.

public static void main( String args[]){
final String dir2 = System.getProperty("user.name"); \\get user name 
String path = "C:\\Users\\" + dir2; 
digFile(new File(path)); \\ path is file start to dig
    
   for (int i = 0; i < StringFile.size(); i++) {
         
   System.out.println(StringFile.get(i));
        
    }
 }

private void digFile(File dir) {

    FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
            return name.endsWith(".mp4");
        }
    };      
    String[] children = dir.list(filter);

   
    if (children == null) {
        return;
    } else {
        for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
            StringFile.add(dir+"\\"+children[i]);

        }
    }

    File[] directories;
    directories = dir.listFiles(new FileFilter() {
        @Override
        public boolean accept(File file) {
            return file.isDirectory();
        }
    
        public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
            return !name.endsWith(".mp4");
        }
    });
        
   if(directories!=null)
   {
       for (File directory : directories) {
           digFile(directory);
       }
   }
    
}

SoapUI "failed to load url" error when loading WSDL

In my case the server were the service was installed was configured only for TLS. SSL was not allowed. So you have to update SoapUI vmoptions file by adding

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2

You can find vmoptions file under SoapUI installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.0.0\bin\soapUI-5.0.0.vmoptions

OR change your server setting to allow SSL

How to increase memory limit for PHP over 2GB?

I would suggest you are looking at the problem in the wrong light. The questtion should be 'what am i doing that needs 2G memory inside a apache process with Php via apache module and is this tool set best suited for the job?'

Yes you can strap a rocket onto a ford pinto, but it's probably not the right solution.

Regardless, I'll provide the rocket if you really need it... you can add to the top of the script.

ini_set('memory_limit','2048M');

This will set it for just the script. You will still need to tell apache to allow that much for a php script (I think).

Getting query parameters from react-router hash fragment

Simple js solution:

queryStringParse = function(string) {
    let parsed = {}
    if(string != '') {
        string = string.substring(string.indexOf('?')+1)
        let p1 = string.split('&')
        p1.map(function(value) {
            let params = value.split('=')
            parsed[params[0]] = params[1]
        });
    }
    return parsed
}

And you can call it from anywhere using:

var params = this.queryStringParse(this.props.location.search);

Hope this helps.

Git ignore file for Xcode projects

Based on this guide for Mercurial my .gitignore includes:

*.mode1v3
*.mode2v3

which, according to this Apple mailing list post, are "user-specific project settings".

And for Xcode 4:

How do Common Names (CN) and Subject Alternative Names (SAN) work together?

CABForum Baseline Requirements

I see no one has mentioned the section in the Baseline Requirements yet. I feel they are important.

Q: SSL - How do Common Names (CN) and Subject Alternative Names (SAN) work together?
A: Not at all. If there are SANs, then CN can be ignored. -- At least if the software that does the checking adheres very strictly to the CABForum's Baseline Requirements.

(So this means I can't answer the "Edit" to your question. Only the original question.)

CABForum Baseline Requirements, v. 1.2.5 (as of 2 April 2015), page 9-10:

9.2.2 Subject Distinguished Name Fields
a. Subject Common Name Field
Certificate Field: subject:commonName (OID 2.5.4.3)
Required/Optional: Deprecated (Discouraged, but not prohibited)
Contents: If present, this field MUST contain a single IP address or Fully-Qualified Domain Name that is one of the values contained in the Certificate’s subjectAltName extension (see Section 9.2.1).

EDIT: Links from @Bruno's comment

RFC 2818: HTTP Over TLS, 2000, Section 3.1: Server Identity:

If a subjectAltName extension of type dNSName is present, that MUST be used as the identity. Otherwise, the (most specific) Common Name field in the Subject field of the certificate MUST be used. Although the use of the Common Name is existing practice, it is deprecated and Certification Authorities are encouraged to use the dNSName instead.

RFC 6125: Representation and Verification of Domain-Based Application Service Identity within Internet Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX) Certificates in the Context of Transport Layer Security (TLS), 2011, Section 6.4.4: Checking of Common Names:

[...] if and only if the presented identifiers do not include a DNS-ID, SRV-ID, URI-ID, or any application-specific identifier types supported by the client, then the client MAY as a last resort check for a string whose form matches that of a fully qualified DNS domain name in a Common Name field of the subject field (i.e., a CN-ID).

How do I append one string to another in Python?

Don't prematurely optimize. If you have no reason to believe there's a speed bottleneck caused by string concatenations then just stick with + and +=:

s  = 'foo'
s += 'bar'
s += 'baz'

That said, if you're aiming for something like Java's StringBuilder, the canonical Python idiom is to add items to a list and then use str.join to concatenate them all at the end:

l = []
l.append('foo')
l.append('bar')
l.append('baz')

s = ''.join(l)

How to run a shell script in OS X by double-clicking?

The easy way is to change the extension to .command or no extension.

But that will open the Terminal, and you will have to close it. If you don't want to see any output, you can use Automator to create a Mac Application that you can double click, add to the dock, etc.

  1. Open Automator application
  2. Choose "Application" type
  3. Type "run" in the Actions search box
  4. Double click "Run Shell Script"
  5. Click the Run button in upper right corner to test it.
  6. File > Save to create the Application.

Select all from table with Laravel and Eloquent

 public function getAllPosts()

Have a look at the docs this is probably the first thing they explain..

Removing "http://" from a string

$new_website = substr($str, ($pos = strrpos($str, '//')) !== false ? $pos + 2 : 0); 

This would remove everything before the '//'.

EDIT

This one is tested. Using strrpos() instead or strpos().

Twitter API - Display all tweets with a certain hashtag?

UPDATE for v1.1:

Rather than giving q="search_string" give it q="hashtag" in URL encoded form to return results with HASHTAG ONLY. So your query would become:

    GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=%23freebandnames

%23 is URL encoded form of #. Try the link out in your browser and it should work.

You can optimize the query by adding since_id and max_id parameters detailed here. Hope this helps !

Note: Search API is now a OAUTH authenticated call, so please include your access_tokens to the above call

What does Docker add to lxc-tools (the userspace LXC tools)?

Going to keep this pithier, this is already asked and answered above .

I'd step back however and answer it slightly differently, the docker engine itself adds orchestration as one of its extras and this is the disruptive part. Once you start running an app as a combination of containers running 'somewhere' across multiple container engines it gets really exciting. Robustness, Horizontal Scaling, complete abstraction from the underlying hardware, i could go on and on...

Its not just Docker that gives you this, in fact the de facto Container Orchestration standard is Kubernetes which comes in a lot of flavours, a Docker one, but also OpenShift, SuSe, Azure, AWS...

Then beneath K8S there are alternative container engines; the interesting ones are Docker and CRIO - recently built, daemonless, intended as a container engine specifically for Kubernetes but immature. Its the competition between these that I think will be the real long term choice for a container engine.

Print text instead of value from C enum

There is another solution: Create your own dynamic enumeration class. Means you have a struct and some function to create a new enumeration, which stores the elements in a struct and each element has a string for the name. You also need some type to store a individual elements, functions to compare them and so on. Here is an example:

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>


struct Enumeration_element_T
{
  size_t index;
  struct Enumeration_T *parrent;
  char *name;
};

struct Enumeration_T
{
  size_t len;
  struct Enumeration_element_T elements[];
};
  


void enumeration_delete(struct Enumeration_T *self)
{
  if(self)
  {
    while(self->len--)
    {
      free(self->elements[self->len].name);
    }
    free(self);
  }
}

struct Enumeration_T *enumeration_create(size_t len,...)
{
  //We do not check for size_t overflows, but we should.
  struct Enumeration_T *self=malloc(sizeof(self)+sizeof(self->elements[0])*len);
  if(!self)
  {
    return NULL;
  }
  self->len=0;
  va_list l; 
  va_start(l,len);
  for(size_t i=0;i<len;i++)
  {
    const char *name=va_arg(l,const char *);
    self->elements[i].name=malloc(strlen(name)+1);
    if(!self->elements[i].name)
    {
      enumeration_delete(self);
      return NULL;
    }
    strcpy(self->elements[i].name,name);
    self->len++;
  }
  return self;
}


bool enumeration_isEqual(struct Enumeration_element_T *a,struct Enumeration_element_T *b)
{
  return a->parrent==b->parrent && a->index==b->index;
}

bool enumeration_isName(struct Enumeration_element_T *a, const char *name)
{
  return !strcmp(a->name,name);
}

const char *enumeration_getName(struct Enumeration_element_T *a)
{
  return a->name;
}

struct Enumeration_element_T *enumeration_getFromName(struct Enumeration_T *self, const char *name)
{
  for(size_t i=0;i<self->len;i++)
  {
    if(enumeration_isName(&self->elements[i],name))
    {
      return &self->elements[i];
    }
  }
  return NULL;
}
  
struct Enumeration_element_T *enumeration_get(struct Enumeration_T *self, size_t index)
{
  return &self->elements[index];
}

size_t enumeration_getCount(struct Enumeration_T *self)
{
  return self->len;
}

bool enumeration_isInRange(struct Enumeration_T *self, size_t index)
{
  return index<self->len;
}



int main(void)
{
  struct Enumeration_T *weekdays=enumeration_create(7,"Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
  if(!weekdays)
  {
    return 1;
  }
    
  printf("Please enter the day of the week (0 to 6)\n");
  size_t j = 0;
  if(scanf("%zu",&j)!=1)
  {
    enumeration_delete(weekdays);
    return 1;
  }
  // j=j%enumeration_getCount(weekdays); //alternative way to make sure j is in range
  if(!enumeration_isInRange(weekdays,j))
  {
    enumeration_delete(weekdays);
    return 1;
  }

  struct Enumeration_element_T *day=enumeration_get(weekdays,j);
  

  printf("%s\n",enumeration_getName(day));
  
  enumeration_delete(weekdays);

  return 0;
}

The functions of enumeration should be in their own translation unit, but i combined them here to make it simpler.

The advantage is that this solution is flexible, follows the DRY principle, you can store information along with each element, you can create new enumerations during runtime and you can add new elements during runtime. The disadvantage is that this is complex, needs dynamic memory allocation, can't be used in switch-case, needs more memory and is slower. The question is if you should not use a higher level language in cases where you need this.

In AngularJS, what's the difference between ng-pristine and ng-dirty?

As already stated in earlier answers, ng-pristine is for indicating that the field has not been modified, whereas ng-dirty is for telling it has been modified. Why need both?

Let's say we've got a form with phone and e-mail address among the fields. Either phone or e-mail is required, and you also have to notify the user when they've got invalid data in each field. This can be accomplished by using ng-dirty and ng-pristine together:

<form name="myForm">
    <input name="email" ng-model="data.email" ng-required="!data.phone">
    <div class="error" 
         ng-show="myForm.email.$invalid && 
                  myForm.email.$pristine &&
                  myForm.phone.$pristine">Phone or e-mail required</div>
    <div class="error" 
         ng-show="myForm.email.$invalid && myForm.email.$dirty">
        E-mail is invalid
    </div>

    <input name="phone" ng-model="data.phone" ng-required="!data.email">
    <div class="error" 
         ng-show="myForm.phone.$invalid && 
                  myForm.email.$pristine &&
                  myForm.phone.$pristine">Phone or e-mail required</div>
    <div class="error" 
         ng-show="myForm.phone.$invalid && myForm.phone.$dirty">
        Phone is invalid
    </div>
</form>

Concatenate a NumPy array to another NumPy array

You may use numpy.append()...

import numpy

B = numpy.array([3])
A = numpy.array([1, 2, 2])
B = numpy.append( B , A )

print B

> [3 1 2 2]

This will not create two separate arrays but will append two arrays into a single dimensional array.

MyISAM versus InnoDB

bottomline: if you are working offline with selects on large chunks of data, MyISAM will probably give you better (much better) speeds.

there are some situations when MyISAM is infinitely more efficient than InnoDB: when manipulating large data dumps offline (because of table lock).

example: I was converting a csv file (15M records) from NOAA which uses VARCHAR fields as keys. InnoDB was taking forever, even with large chunks of memory available.

this an example of the csv (first and third fields are keys).

USC00178998,20130101,TMAX,-22,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,TMIN,-117,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,TOBS,-28,,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,PRCP,0,T,,7,0700
USC00178998,20130101,SNOW,0,T,,7,

since what i need to do is run a batch offline update of observed weather phenomena, i use MyISAM table for receiving data and run JOINS on the keys so that i can clean the incoming file and replace VARCHAR fields with INT keys (which are related to external tables where the original VARCHAR values are stored).

Remove trailing zeros from decimal in SQL Server

I had a similar issue, but was also required to remove the decimal point where no decimal was present, here was my solution which splits the decimal into its components, and bases the number of characters it takes from the decimal point string on the length of the fraction component (without using CASE). To make matters even more interesting, my number was stored as a float without its decimals.

DECLARE @MyNum FLOAT
SET @MyNum = 700000
SELECT CAST(PARSENAME(CONVERT(NUMERIC(15,2),@MyNum/10000),2) AS VARCHAR(10)) 
+ SUBSTRING('.',1,LEN(REPLACE(RTRIM(REPLACE(CAST(PARSENAME(CONVERT(NUMERIC(15,2),@MyNum/10000),1) AS VARCHAR(2)),'0',' ')),' ','0'))) 
+ REPLACE(RTRIM(REPLACE(CAST(PARSENAME(CONVERT(NUMERIC(15,2),@MyNum/10000),1) AS VARCHAR(2)),'0',' ')),' ','0') 

The result is painful, I know, but I got there, with much help from the answers above.

How to access a property of an object (stdClass Object) member/element of an array?

To access an array member you use $array['KEY'];

To access an object member you use $obj->KEY;

To access an object member inside an array of objects:
$array[0] // Get the first object in the array
$array[0]->KEY // then access its key

You may also loop over an array of objects like so:

foreach ($arrayOfObjs as $key => $object) {
    echo $object->object_property;
}

Think of an array as a collection of things. It's a bag where you can store your stuff and give them a unique id (key) and access them (or take the stuff out of the bag) using that key. I want to keep things simple here, but this bag can contain other bags too :)

Update (this might help someone understand better):

An array contains 'key' and 'value' pairs. Providing a key for an array member is optional and in this case it is automatically assigned a numeric key which starts with 0 and keeps on incrementing by 1 for each additional member. We can retrieve a 'value' from the array by it's 'key'.

So we can define an array in the following ways (with respect to keys):

First method:

$colorPallete = ['red', 'blue', 'green'];

The above array will be assigned numeric keys automatically. So the key assigned to red will be 0, for blue 1 and so on.

Getting values from the above array:

$colorPallete[0]; // will output 'red'
$colorPallete[1]; // will output 'blue'
$colorPallete[2]; // will output 'green'

Second method:

$colorPallete = ['love' => 'red', 'trust' => 'blue', 'envy' => 'green']; // we expliicitely define the keys ourself.

Getting values from the above array:

$colorPallete['love']; // will output 'red'
$colorPallete['trust']; // will output 'blue'
$colorPallete['envy']; // will output 'green'

Using variables in Nginx location rules

You can't. Nginx doesn't really support variables in config files, and its developers mock everyone who ask for this feature to be added:

"[Variables] are rather costly compared to plain static configuration. [A] macro expansion and "include" directives should be used [with] e.g. sed + make or any other common template mechanism." http://nginx.org/en/docs/faq/variables_in_config.html

You should either write or download a little tool that will allow you to generate config files from placeholder config files.

Update The code below still works, but I've wrapped it all up into a small PHP program/library called Configurator also on Packagist, which allows easy generation of nginx/php-fpm etc config files, from templates and various forms of config data.

e.g. my nginx source config file looks like this:

location  / {
    try_files $uri /routing.php?$args;
    fastcgi_pass   unix:%phpfpm.socket%/php-fpm-www.sock;
    include       %mysite.root.directory%/conf/fastcgi.conf;
}

And then I have a config file with the variables defined:

phpfpm.socket=/var/run/php-fpm.socket
mysite.root.directory=/home/mysite

And then I generate the actual config file using that. It looks like you're a Python guy, so a PHP based example may not help you, but for anyone else who does use PHP:

<?php

require_once('path.php');

$filesToGenerate = array(
    'conf/nginx.conf' => 'autogen/nginx.conf',
    'conf/mysite.nginx.conf' => 'autogen/mysite.nginx.conf',
    'conf/mysite.php-fpm.conf' => 'autogen/mysite.php-fpm.conf',
    'conf/my.cnf' => 'autogen/my.cnf',
);

$environment = 'amazonec2';

if ($argc >= 2){
    $environmentRequired = $argv[1];

    $allowedVars = array(
        'amazonec2',
        'macports',
    );

    if (in_array($environmentRequired, $allowedVars) == true){
        $environment = $environmentRequired;
    }
}
else{
    echo "Defaulting to [".$environment."] environment";
}

$config = getConfigForEnvironment($environment);

foreach($filesToGenerate as $inputFilename => $outputFilename){
    generateConfigFile(PATH_TO_ROOT.$inputFilename, PATH_TO_ROOT.$outputFilename, $config);
}


function    getConfigForEnvironment($environment){
    $config = parse_ini_file(PATH_TO_ROOT."conf/deployConfig.ini", TRUE);
    $configWithMarkers = array();
    foreach($config[$environment] as $key => $value){
        $configWithMarkers['%'.$key.'%'] = $value;
    }

    return  $configWithMarkers;
}


function    generateConfigFile($inputFilename, $outputFilename, $config){

    $lines = file($inputFilename);

    if($lines === FALSE){
        echo "Failed to read [".$inputFilename."] for reading.";
        exit(-1);
    }

    $fileHandle = fopen($outputFilename, "w");

    if($fileHandle === FALSE){
        echo "Failed to read [".$outputFilename."] for writing.";
        exit(-1);
    }

    $search = array_keys($config);
    $replace = array_values($config);

    foreach($lines as $line){
        $line = str_replace($search, $replace, $line);
        fwrite($fileHandle, $line);
    }

    fclose($fileHandle);
}

?>

And then deployConfig.ini looks something like:

[global]

;global variables go here.

How to crop an image in OpenCV using Python

Alternatively, you could use tensorflow for the cropping and openCV for making an array from the image.

import cv2
img = cv2.imread('YOURIMAGE.png')

Now img is a (imageheight, imagewidth, 3) shape array. Crop the array with tensorflow:

import tensorflow as tf
offset_height=0
offset_width=0
target_height=500
target_width=500
x = tf.image.crop_to_bounding_box(
    img, offset_height, offset_width, target_height, target_width
)

Reassemble the image with tf.keras, so we can look at it if it worked:

tf.keras.preprocessing.image.array_to_img(
    x, data_format=None, scale=True, dtype=None
)

This prints out the pic in a notebook (tested in Google Colab).


The whole code together:

import cv2
img = cv2.imread('YOURIMAGE.png')

import tensorflow as tf
offset_height=0
offset_width=0
target_height=500
target_width=500
x = tf.image.crop_to_bounding_box(
    img, offset_height, offset_width, target_height, target_width
)

tf.keras.preprocessing.image.array_to_img(
    x, data_format=None, scale=True, dtype=None
)

How should I tackle --secure-file-priv in MySQL?

@vhu I did the SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv"; and it returned C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Uploads\ so when I plugged that in, it still didn't work.

When I went to the my.ini file directly I discovered that the path is formatted a bit differently:

C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads

Then when I ran it with that, it worked. The only difference was the direction of the slashes.

Suppose logical address space is **32 bit so total possible logical entries will be 2^32 and other hand suppose each page size is 4 byte then size of one page is *2^2*2^10=2^12...* now we know that no. of pages in page table is pages=total possible logical address entries/page size so pages=2^32/2^12 =2^20 Now suppose that each entry in page table takes 4 bytes then total size of page table in *physical memory will be=2^2*2^20=2^22=4mb***

WARNING: Can't verify CSRF token authenticity rails

The best way to do this is actually just use <%= form_authenticity_token.to_s %> to print out the token directly in your rails code. You dont need to use javascript to search the dom for the csrf token as other posts mention. just add the headers option as below;

$.ajax({
  type: 'post',
  data: $(this).sortable('serialize'),
  headers: {
    'X-CSRF-Token': '<%= form_authenticity_token.to_s %>'
  },
  complete: function(request){},
  url: "<%= sort_widget_images_path(@widget) %>"
})

How to format a date using ng-model?

Here is very handy directive angular-datetime. You can use it like this:

<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" ng-model="myDate">

It also add mask to your input and perform validation.

Checkout subdirectories in Git?

git clone --filter from git 2.19 now works on GitHub (tested 2020-09-18, git 2.25.1)

This option was added together with an update to the remote protocol, and it truly prevents objects from being downloaded from the server.

To clone only objects required for d1 of this repository: https://github.com/cirosantilli/test-git-partial-clone I can do:

git clone \
  --depth 1 \
  --filter=blob:none \
  --no-checkout \
  https://github.com/cirosantilli/test-git-partial-clone \
;
cd test-git-partial-clone
git checkout master -- d1

I have covered this in more detail at: Git: How do I clone a subdirectory only of a Git repository?

CSS: How to remove pseudo elements (after, before,...)?

This depends on what's actually being added by the pseudoselectors. In your situation, setting content to "" will get rid of it, but if you're setting borders or backgrounds or whatever, you need to zero those out specifically. As far as I know, there's no one cure-all for removing everything about a before/after element regardless of what it is.

runOnUiThread in fragment

For Kotlin on fragment just do this

Slide div left/right using jQuery

You can easy get that effect without using jQueryUI, for example:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#slide').click(function(){
    var hidden = $('.hidden');
    if (hidden.hasClass('visible')){
        hidden.animate({"left":"-1000px"}, "slow").removeClass('visible');
    } else {
        hidden.animate({"left":"0px"}, "slow").addClass('visible');
    }
    });
});

Are multi-line strings allowed in JSON?

Try this, it also handles the single quote which is failed to parse by JSON.parse() method and also supports the UTF-8 character code.

    parseJSON = function() {
        var data = {};
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function() {
            try {
                data = JSON.parse(reader.result.replace(/'/g, "\""));
            } catch (ex) {
                console.log('error' + ex);
            }
        };
        reader.readAsText(fileSelector_test[0].files[0], 'utf-8');
}

Why can't DateTime.ParseExact() parse "9/1/2009" using "M/d/yyyy"

I tried it on XP and it doesn't work if the PC is set to International time yyyy-M-d. Place a breakpoint on the line and before it is processed change the date string to use '-' in place of the '/' and you'll find it works. It makes no difference whether you have the CultureInfo or not. Seems strange to be able specify an expercted format only to have the separator ignored.

Error: [$resource:badcfg] Error in resource configuration. Expected response to contain an array but got an object?

First of all you should configure $resource in different manner: without query params in the URL. Default query parameters may be passed as properties of the second parameter in resource(url, paramDefaults, actions). It is also to be mentioned that you configure get method of resource and using query instead.

What's the difference between setWebViewClient vs. setWebChromeClient?

From the source code:

// Instance of WebViewClient that is the client callback.
private volatile WebViewClient mWebViewClient;
// Instance of WebChromeClient for handling all chrome functions.
private volatile WebChromeClient mWebChromeClient;

// SOME OTHER SUTFFF.......

/**
 * Set the WebViewClient.
 * @param client An implementation of WebViewClient.
 */
public void setWebViewClient(WebViewClient client) {
    mWebViewClient = client;
}

/**
 * Set the WebChromeClient.
 * @param client An implementation of WebChromeClient.
 */
public void setWebChromeClient(WebChromeClient client) {
    mWebChromeClient = client;
}

Using WebChromeClient allows you to handle Javascript dialogs, favicons, titles, and the progress. Take a look of this example: Adding alert() support to a WebView

At first glance, there are too many differences WebViewClient & WebChromeClient. But, basically: if you are developing a WebView that won't require too many features but rendering HTML, you can just use a WebViewClient. On the other hand, if you want to (for instance) load the favicon of the page you are rendering, you should use a WebChromeClient object and override the onReceivedIcon(WebView view, Bitmap icon).

Most of the times, if you don't want to worry about those things... you can just do this:

webView= (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); 
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()); 
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); 
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
webView.loadUrl(url); 

And your WebView will (in theory) have all features implemented (as the android native browser).

Image UriSource and Data Binding

Sprintf equivalent in Java

Strings are immutable types. You cannot modify them, only return new string instances.

Because of that, formatting with an instance method makes little sense, as it would have to be called like:

String formatted = "%s: %s".format(key, value);

The original Java authors (and .NET authors) decided that a static method made more sense in this situation, as you are not modifying the target, but instead calling a format method and passing in an input string.

Here is an example of why format() would be dumb as an instance method. In .NET (and probably in Java), Replace() is an instance method.

You can do this:

 "I Like Wine".Replace("Wine","Beer");

However, nothing happens, because strings are immutable. Replace() tries to return a new string, but it is assigned to nothing.

This causes lots of common rookie mistakes like:

inputText.Replace(" ", "%20");

Again, nothing happens, instead you have to do:

inputText = inputText.Replace(" ","%20");

Now, if you understand that strings are immutable, that makes perfect sense. If you don't, then you are just confused. The proper place for Replace() would be where format() is, as a static method of String:

 inputText = String.Replace(inputText, " ", "%20");

Now there is no question as to what's going on.

The real question is, why did the authors of these frameworks decide that one should be an instance method, and the other static? In my opinion, both are more elegantly expressed as static methods.

Regardless of your opinion, the truth is that you are less prone to make a mistake using the static version, and the code is easier to understand (No Hidden Gotchas).

Of course there are some methods that are perfect as instance methods, take String.Length()

int length = "123".Length();

In this situation, it's obvious we are not trying to modify "123", we are just inspecting it, and returning its length. This is a perfect candidate for an instance method.

My simple rules for Instance Methods on Immutable Objects:

  • If you need to return a new instance of the same type, use a static method.
  • Otherwise, use an instance method.

How to get my Android device Internal Download Folder path

if a device has an SD card, you use:

Environment.getExternalStorageState() 

if you don't have an SD card, you use:

Environment.getDataDirectory()

if there is no SD card, you can create your own directory on the device locally.

    //if there is no SD card, create new directory objects to make directory on device
        if (Environment.getExternalStorageState() == null) {
                        //create new file directory object
            directory = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory()

             */
            if (photoDirectory.exists()) {
                File[] dirFiles = photoDirectory.listFiles();
                if (dirFiles.length != 0) {
                    for (int ii = 0; ii <= dirFiles.length; ii++) {
                        dirFiles[ii].delete();
                    }
                }
            }
            // if no directory exists, create new directory
            if (!directory.exists()) {
                directory.mkdir();
            }

            // if phone DOES have sd card

DateTimePicker time picker in 24 hour but displaying in 12hr?

'DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm A' => 12 hours 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm A' => 24 hours

Align two inline-blocks left and right on same line

Edit: 3 years has passed since I answered this question and I guess a more modern solution is needed, although the current one does the thing :)

1.Flexbox

It's by far the shortest and most flexible. Apply display: flex; to the parent container and adjust the placement of its children by justify-content: space-between; like this:

.header {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

Can be seen online here - http://jsfiddle.net/skip405/NfeVh/1073/

Note however that flexbox support is IE10 and newer. If you need to support IE 9 or older, use the following solution:

2.You can use the text-align: justify technique here.

.header {
    background: #ccc; 
    text-align: justify; 

    /* ie 7*/  
    *width: 100%;  
    *-ms-text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
    *text-justify: distribute-all-lines;
}
 .header:after{
    content: '';
    display: inline-block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 0;
    font-size:0;
    line-height:0;
}

h1 {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-top: 0.321em; 

    /* ie 7*/ 
    *display: inline;
    *zoom: 1;
    *text-align: left; 
}

.nav {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: baseline; 

    /* ie 7*/
    *display: inline;
    *zoom:1;
    *text-align: right;
}

The working example can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/skip405/NfeVh/4/. This code works from IE7 and above

If inline-block elements in HTML are not separated with space, this solution won't work - see example http://jsfiddle.net/NfeVh/1408/ . This might be a case when you insert content with Javascript.

If we don't care about IE7 simply omit the star-hack properties. The working example using your markup is here - http://jsfiddle.net/skip405/NfeVh/5/. I just added the header:after part and justified the content.

In order to solve the issue of the extra space that is inserted with the after pseudo-element one can do a trick of setting the font-size to 0 for the parent element and resetting it back to say 14px for the child elements. The working example of this trick can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/skip405/NfeVh/326/

Copy to Clipboard for all Browsers using javascript

This works on firefox 3.6.x and IE:

    function copyToClipboardCrossbrowser(s) {           
        s = document.getElementById(s).value;               

        if( window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData )
        {
            clipboardData.setData("Text", s);
        }           
        else
        {
            // You have to sign the code to enable this or allow the action in about:config by changing
            //user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
            netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');

            var clip = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard);
            if (!clip) return;

            // create a transferable

            var trans = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable);
            if (!trans) return;

            // specify the data we wish to handle. Plaintext in this case.
            trans.addDataFlavor('text/unicode');

            // To get the data from the transferable we need two new objects
            var str = new Object();
            var len = new Object();

            var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString);

            str.data= s;        

            trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str, str.data.length * 2);

            var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard;              
            if (!clip) return false;
            clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard);      
        }
    }

Create a variable name with "paste" in R?

In my case function eval() works very good. Below I generate 10 variables and assign them 10 values.

lhs <- rnorm(10)
rhs <- paste("perf.a", 1:10, "<-", lhs, sep="")
eval(parse(text=rhs))

How do I concatenate or merge arrays in Swift?

To complete the list of possible alternatives, reduce could be used to implement the behavior of flatten:

var a = ["a", "b", "c"] 
var b = ["d", "e", "f"]

let res = [a, b].reduce([],combine:+)

The best alternative (performance/memory-wise) among the ones presented is simply flatten, that just wrap the original arrays lazily without creating a new array structure.

But notice that flatten does not return a LazyCollection, so that lazy behavior will not be propagated to the next operation along the chain (map, flatMap, filter, etc...).

If lazyness makes sense in your particular case, just remember to prepend or append a .lazy to flatten(), for example, modifying Tomasz sample this way:

let c = [a, b].lazy.flatten()

How do I check if a directory exists? "is_dir", "file_exists" or both?

Second variant in question post is not ok, because, if you already have file with the same name, but it is not a directory, !file_exists($dir) will return false, folder will not be created, so error "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" will be occured. In Windows there is a difference between 'file' and 'folder' types, so need to use file_exists() and is_dir() at the same time, for ex.:

if (file_exists('file')) {
    if (!is_dir('file')) { //if file is already present, but it's not a dir
        //do something with file - delete, rename, etc.
        unlink('file'); //for example
        mkdir('file', NEEDED_ACCESS_LEVEL);
    }
} else { //no file exists with this name
    mkdir('file', NEEDED_ACCESS_LEVEL);
}

How to concatenate two strings in C++?

    while(*str2 != '\0'){
        *str1 = *str2;
        str1++;
        str2++;
    }
}

int main() {
    char str1[100];
    cin.getline(str1, 100);  
    char str2[100];

Basic Authentication Using JavaScript

After Spending quite a bit of time looking into this, i came up with the solution for this; In this solution i am not using the Basic authentication but instead went with the oAuth authentication protocol. But to use Basic authentication you should be able to specify this in the "setHeaderRequest" with minimal changes to the rest of the code example. I hope this will be able to help someone else in the future:

var token_ // variable will store the token
var userName = "clientID"; // app clientID
var passWord = "secretKey"; // app clientSecret
var caspioTokenUrl = "https://xxx123.caspio.com/oauth/token"; // Your application token endpoint  
var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); 

function getToken(url, clientID, clientSecret) {
    var key;           
    request.open("POST", url, true); 
    request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
    request.send("grant_type=client_credentials&client_id="+clientID+"&"+"client_secret="+clientSecret); // specify the credentials to receive the token on request
    request.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (request.readyState == request.DONE) {
            var response = request.responseText;
            var obj = JSON.parse(response); 
            key = obj.access_token; //store the value of the accesstoken
            token_ = key; // store token in your global variable "token_" or you could simply return the value of the access token from the function
        }
    }
}
// Get the token
getToken(caspioTokenUrl, userName, passWord);

If you are using the Caspio REST API on some request it may be imperative that you to encode the paramaters for certain request to your endpoint; see the Caspio documentation on this issue;

NOTE: encodedParams is NOT used in this example but was used in my solution.

Now that you have the token stored from the token endpoint you should be able to successfully authenticate for subsequent request from the caspio resource endpoint for your application

function CallWebAPI() {
    var request_ = new XMLHttpRequest();        
    var encodedParams = encodeURIComponent(params);
    request_.open("GET", "https://xxx123.caspio.com/rest/v1/tables/", true);
    request_.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+ token_);
    request_.send();
    request_.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (request_.readyState == 4 && request_.status == 200) {
            var response = request_.responseText;
            var obj = JSON.parse(response); 
            // handle data as needed... 

        }
    }
} 

This solution does only considers how to successfully make the authenticated request using the Caspio API in pure javascript. There are still many flaws i am sure...

IntelliJ IDEA 13 uses Java 1.5 despite setting to 1.7

Stop Visual Studio from launching a new browser window when starting debug?

This workaround works for me for VS 2019

Tools => Options

Then type Projects and solutions in the search box.

Select the Web Projects.

Then deselect the option below.

Stop debugger when browser window is closed, close browser when debugging stops.

This works for me. Hope this will help.

How do you set autocommit in an SQL Server session?

I wanted a more permanent and quicker way. Because I tend to forget to add extra lines before writing my actual Update/Insert queries.

I did it by checking SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS check-box from Options. To navigate to Options Select Tools>Options>Query Execution>SQL Server>ANSI in your Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Just make sure to execute commit or rollback after you are done executing your queries. Otherwise, the table you would have run the query will be locked for others.

Understanding the order() function

In simple words, order() gives the locations of elements of increasing magnitude.

For example, order(c(10,20,30)) will give 1,2,3 and order(c(30,20,10)) will give 3,2,1.

Bash array with spaces in elements

If you aren't stuck on using bash, different handling of spaces in file names is one of the benefits of the fish shell. Consider a directory which contains two files: "a b.txt" and "b c.txt". Here's a reasonable guess at processing a list of files generated from another command with bash, but it fails due to spaces in file names you experienced:

# bash
$ for f in $(ls *.txt); { echo $f; }
a
b.txt
b
c.txt

With fish, the syntax is nearly identical, but the result is what you'd expect:

# fish
for f in (ls *.txt); echo $f; end
a b.txt
b c.txt

It works differently because fish splits the output of commands on newlines, not spaces.

If you have a case where you do want to split on spaces instead of newlines, fish has a very readable syntax for that:

for f in (ls *.txt | string split " "); echo $f; end

How to convert a data frame column to numeric type?

Foreach Control in form, how can I do something to all the TextBoxes in my Form?

I found this to work very well, but initially I have my textboxes on a panel so none of my textboxes cleared as expected so I added

this.panel1.Controls.....  

Which got me to thinking that is you have lots of textboxes for different functions and only some need to be cleared out, perhaps using the multiple panel hierarchies you can target just a few and not all.

foreach ( TextBox tb in this.Controls.OfType<TextBox>()) {
  ..
}

Searching in a ArrayList with custom objects for certain strings

Use Apache CollectionUtils:

CollectionUtils.find(myList, new Predicate() {
   public boolean evaluate(Object o) {
      return name.equals(((MyClass) o).getName());
   }
}

DataGrid get selected rows' column values

I did something similar but I use binding to get the selected item :

<DataGrid Grid.Row="1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Name="dataGrid"
          IsReadOnly="True" SelectionMode="Single"
          ItemsSource="{Binding ObservableContactList}" 
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedContact}">
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Name}" Header="Name"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=FamilyName}" Header="FamilyName"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Age}" Header="Age"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Relation}" Header="Relation"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Phone.Display}" Header="Phone"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Address.Display}" Header="Addr"/>
    <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Mail}" Header="E-mail"/>
  </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

So I can access my SelectedContact.Name in my ViewModel.

apc vs eaccelerator vs xcache

APC segfaults all day and all night, got no experience with eAccelerator but XCache is very reliable with loads of options and constant development.

Using :after to clear floating elements

No, you don't it's enough to do something like this:

<ul class="clearfix">
  <li>one</li>
  <li>two></li>
</ul>

And the following CSS:

ul li {float: left;}


.clearfix:after {
  content: ".";
  display: block;
  clear: both;
  visibility: hidden;
  line-height: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.clearfix {
  display: inline-block;
}

html[xmlns] .clearfix {
   display: block;
}

* html .clearfix {
   height: 1%;
}

How come I can't remove the blue textarea border in Twitter Bootstrap?

This is what worked for me.. All the other solutions didn't quite work for me, but I understood one thing from the other solutions and its that default styles of textarea and label in combination is responsible for the blue border.

textarea, label
{
    outline:0px !important;

    -webkit-box-shadow: none !important;
}

EDIT: I had this issue with Ant Design textarea. Thats why this solution worked for me. So, if you are using Ant, then use this.

What's the difference between session.persist() and session.save() in Hibernate?

It completely answered on basis of "generator" type in ID while storing any entity. If value for generator is "assigned" which means you are supplying the ID. Then it makes no diff in hibernate for save or persist. You can go with any method you want. If value is not "assigned" and you are using save() then you will get ID as return from the save() operation.

Another check is if you are performing the operation outside transaction limit or not. Because persist() belongs to JPA while save() for hibernate. So using persist() outside transaction boundaries will not allow to do so and throw exception related to persistant. while with save() no such restriction and one can go with DB transaction through save() outside the transaction limit.

How to customize the background color of a UITableViewCell?

Simply put this in you UITableView delegate class file (.m):

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell  forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
    UIColor *color = ((indexPath.row % 2) == 0) ? [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255 green:255.0/255 blue:145.0/255 alpha:1] : [UIColor clearColor];
    cell.backgroundColor = color;
}

Batch file to copy directories recursively

After reading the accepted answer's comments, I tried the robocopy command, which worked for me (using the standard command prompt from Windows 7 64 bits SP 1):

How do you programmatically set an attribute?

Usually, we define classes for this.

class XClass( object ):
   def __init__( self ):
       self.myAttr= None

x= XClass()
x.myAttr= 'magic'
x.myAttr

However, you can, to an extent, do this with the setattr and getattr built-in functions. However, they don't work on instances of object directly.

>>> a= object()
>>> setattr( a, 'hi', 'mom' )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'hi'

They do, however, work on all kinds of simple classes.

class YClass( object ):
    pass

y= YClass()
setattr( y, 'myAttr', 'magic' )
y.myAttr

How do I use extern to share variables between source files?

extern allows one module of your program to access a global variable or function declared in another module of your program. You usually have extern variables declared in header files.

If you don't want a program to access your variables or functions, you use static which tells the compiler that this variable or function cannot be used outside of this module.

Android - Handle "Enter" in an EditText

Ok, If none of answers work for you and not get mad yet, I have a solution. Use AppCompatMultiAutoCompleteTextView (yep!) instead of EditText with this code (kotlin)

val filter = InputFilter { source, start, end, _, _, _ ->
        var keepOriginal = true
        val sb = StringBuilder(end - start)
        for (i in start until end) {
            val c = source[i]
            if (c != '\n')
                sb.append(c)
            else {
                keepOriginal = false
                //TODO:WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
            }
        }
        if (keepOriginal) null else {
            if (source is Spanned) {
                val sp = SpannableString(sb)
                TextUtils.copySpansFrom(source, start, sb.length, null, sp, 0)
                sp
            } else {
                sb
            }
        }
    }

appCompatMultiAutoCompleteTextView.filters = arrayOf(filter);

It (probably) work in all device, I test it in android 4.4 & 10. Its work in xiaomi too. I damn ? android :)

Configure Log4Net in web application

Another way to do this would be to add this line to the assembly info of the web application:

// Configure log4net using the .config file
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch = true)]

Similar to Shriek's.

Error: free(): invalid next size (fast):

I encountered a similar error. It was a noob mistake done in a hurry. Integer array without declaring size int a[] then trying to access it. C++ compiler should've caught such an error easily if it were in main. However since this particular int array was declared inside an object, it was being created at the same time as my object (many objects were being created) and the compiler was throwing a free(): invalid next size(normal) error. I thought of 2 explanations for this (please enlighten me if anyone knows more): 1.) This resulted in some random memory being assigned to it but since this wasn't accessible it was freeing up all the other heap memory just trying to find this int. 2.) The memory required by it was practically infinite for a program and to assign this it was freeing up all other memory.

A simple:

    int* a;
    class foo{ 
    foo(){
       for(i=0;i<n;i++)
           a=new int[i];
     }

Solved the problem. But it did take a lot of time trying to debug this because the compiler could not "really" find the error.

Removing All Items From A ComboBox?

If you want to simply remove the value in the combo box:

me.combobox = ""

If you want to remove the recordset of the combobox, the easiest way is:

me.combobox.recordset = ""
me.combobox.requery

Sending credentials with cross-domain posts?

In jQuery 3 and perhaps earlier versions, the following simpler config also works for individual requests:

$.ajax(
        'https://foo.bar.com,
        {
            dataType: 'json',
            xhrFields: {
                withCredentials: true
            },
            success: successFunc
        }
    );

The full error I was getting in Firefox Dev Tools -> Network tab (in the Security tab for an individual request) was:

An error occurred during a connection to foo.bar.com.SSL peer was unable to negotiate an acceptable set of security parameters.Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE_ALERT

Print <div id="printarea"></div> only?

I didn't really like any of these answers as a whole. If you have a class (say printableArea) and have that as an immediate child of body, then you can do something like this in your print CSS:

body > *:not(.printableArea) {
    display: none;
}

//Not needed if already showing
body > .printableArea {
    display: block;
}

For those looking for printableArea in another place, you would need to make sure the parents of printableArea are shown:

body > *:not(.parentDiv),
.parentDiv > *:not(.printableArea) {
    display: none;
}

//Not needed if already showing
body > .printableArea {
    display: block;
}

Using the visibility can cause a lot of spacing issues and blank pages. This is because the visibility maintains the elements space, just makes it hidden, where as display removes it and allows other elements to take up its space.

The reason why this solution works is that you are not grabbing all elements, just the immediate children of body and hiding them. The other solutions below with display css, hide all the elements, which effects everything inside of printableArea content.

I wouldn't suggest javascript as you would need to have a print button that the user clicks and the standard browser print buttons wouldn't have the same effect. If you really need to do that, what I would do is store the html of body, remove all unwanted elements, print, then add the html back. As mentioned though, I would avoid this if you can and use a CSS option like above.

NOTE: You can add whatever CSS into the print CSS using inline styles:

<style type="text/css">
@media print {
   //styles here
}
</style>

Or like I usually use is a link tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />

How can I loop over entries in JSON?

Actually, to query the team_name, just add it in brackets to the last line. Apart from that, it seems to work on Python 2.7.3 on command line.

from urllib2 import urlopen
import json

url = 'http://openligadb-json.heroku.com/api/teams_by_league_saison?league_saison=2012&league_shortcut=bl1'
response = urlopen(url)
json_obj = json.load(response)

for i in json_obj['team']:
    print i['team_name']

GitHub - error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:myrepo.git'

In my case. I had the error because I forgot to make a commit after create a repository on github into an existing project. So I solved:

git add .
git commit -m"commentary"

Then I was able to type:

git push -u origin master

How to use 'git pull' from the command line?

Try setting the HOME environment variable in Windows to your home folder (c:\users\username).

( you can confirm that this is the problem by doing echo $HOME in git bash and echo %HOME% in cmd - latter might not be available )

What does -Xmn jvm option stands for

-Xmn : the size of the heap for the young generation Young generation represents all the objects which have a short life of time. Young generation objects are in a specific location into the heap, where the garbage collector will pass often. All new objects are created into the young generation region (called "eden"). When an object survive is still "alive" after more than 2-3 gc cleaning, then it will be swap has an "old generation" : they are "survivor" .

Good size is 33%

Does calling clone() on an array also clone its contents?

If I invoke clone() method on array of Objects of type A, how will it clone its elements?

The elements of the array will not be cloned.

Will the copy be referencing to the same objects?

Yes.

Or will it call (element of type A).clone() for each of them?

No, it will not call clone() on any of the elements.

How can I revert a single file to a previous version?

You can take a diff that undoes the changes you want and commit that.

E.g. If you want to undo the changes in the range from..to, do the following

git diff to..from > foo.diff  # get a reverse diff
patch < foo.diff
git commit -a -m "Undid changes from..to".

Can you target <br /> with css?

this seems to solve the problem:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<style type="text/css">
#someContainer br { display:none }
#someContainer br + a:before { content:"|"; color: transparent; letter-spacing:-100px; border-left: 1px dashed black; margin:0 5px; }
</style>

<div id="someContainer"><a>link</a><br /><a>link</a><br /><a>link</a></div>

Is it safe to delete the "InetPub" folder?

How to position a DIV in a specific coordinates?

I cribbed this and added the 'px'; Works very well.

function getOffset(el) {
  el = el.getBoundingClientRect();
  return {
    left: (el.right + window.scrollX ) +'px',
    top: (el.top + window.scrollY ) +'px'
  }
}
to call: //Gets it to the right side
 el.style.top = getOffset(othis).top ; 
 el.style.left = getOffset(othis).left ; 

Merging dictionaries in C#

I'm very late to the party and perhaps missing something, but if either there are no duplicate keys or, as the OP says, "In case of collision, it doesn't matter which value is saved to the dict as long as it's consistent," what's wrong with this one (merging D2 into D1)?

foreach (KeyValuePair<string,int> item in D2)
            {
                 D1[item.Key] = item.Value;
            }

It seems simple enough, maybe too simple, I wonder if I'm missing something. This is what I'm using in some code where I know there are no duplicate keys. I'm still in testing, though, so I'd love to know now if I'm overlooking something, instead of finding out later.

How do I start Mongo DB from Windows?

For Windows users:

To add onto @CoderSpeed's answer above (CoderSpeed's answer). Create a batch file (.bat) with the commands you would usually enter on the CLI, e.g.:

cd "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin" mongod.exe

Windows Script Host’s Run Method allows you run a program or script in invisible mode. Here is a sample Windows script code that launches a batch file named syncfiles.bat invisibly.

Let’s say we have a file named syncfiles.bat in C:\Batch Files directory. Let’s launch it in hidden mode using Windows Scripting.

Copy the following lines to Notepad.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Batch Files\syncfiles.bat" & Chr(34), 0 Set WshShell = Nothing

Note: Replace the batch file name/path accordingly in the script according to your requirement. Save the file with .VBS extension, say launch_bat.vbs Edit the .BAT file name and path accordingly, and save the file. Double-click to run the launch_bat.vbs file, which in-turn launches the batch file syncfiles.bat invisibly.

Sourced from: Run .BAT files invisibly

Platform.runLater and Task in JavaFX

Use Platform.runLater(...) for quick and simple operations and Task for complex and big operations .

Example: Why Can't we use Platform.runLater(...) for long calculations (Taken from below reference).

Problem: Background thread which just counts from 0 to 1 million and update progress bar in UI.

Code using Platform.runLater(...):

final ProgressBar bar = new ProgressBar();
new Thread(new Runnable() {
    @Override public void run() {
    for (int i = 1; i <= 1000000; i++) {
        final int counter = i;
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override public void run() {
                bar.setProgress(counter / 1000000.0);
            }
        });
    }
}).start();

This is a hideous hunk of code, a crime against nature (and programming in general). First, you’ll lose brain cells just looking at this double nesting of Runnables. Second, it is going to swamp the event queue with little Runnables — a million of them in fact. Clearly, we needed some API to make it easier to write background workers which then communicate back with the UI.

Code using Task :

Task task = new Task<Void>() {
    @Override public Void call() {
        static final int max = 1000000;
        for (int i = 1; i <= max; i++) {
            updateProgress(i, max);
        }
        return null;
    }
};

ProgressBar bar = new ProgressBar();
bar.progressProperty().bind(task.progressProperty());
new Thread(task).start();

it suffers from none of the flaws exhibited in the previous code

How to simulate a mouse click using JavaScript?

Based on Derek's answer, I verified that

document.getElementById('testTarget')

How to rollback or commit a transaction in SQL Server

The good news is a transaction in SQL Server can span multiple batches (each exec is treated as a separate batch.)

You can wrap your EXEC statements in a BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT but you'll need to go a step further and rollback if any errors occur.

Ideally you'd want something like this:

BEGIN TRY
    BEGIN TRANSACTION 
        exec( @sqlHeader)
        exec(@sqlTotals)
        exec(@sqlLine)
    COMMIT
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH

    IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
        ROLLBACK
END CATCH

The BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT I believe you are already familiar with. The BEGIN TRY and BEGIN CATCH blocks are basically there to catch and handle any errors that occur. If any of your EXEC statements raise an error, the code execution will jump to the CATCH block.

Your existing SQL building code should be outside the transaction (above) as you always want to keep your transactions as short as possible.

React component not re-rendering on state change

I was going through same issue in React-Native where API response & reject weren't updating states

apiCall().then(function(resp) { this.setState({data: resp}) // wasn't updating }

I solved the problem by changing function with the arrow function

apiCall().then((resp) => {
    this.setState({data: resp}) // rendering the view as expected
}

For me, it was a binding issue. Using arrow functions solved it because arrow function doesn't create its's own this, its always bounded to its outer context where it comes from

Setting Custom ActionBar Title from Fragment

Google examples tend to use this within the fragments.

private ActionBar getActionBar() {
    return ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
}

The fragment will belong to an ActionBarActivity and that is where the reference to the actionbar is. This is cleaner because the fragment doesn't need to know exactly what activity it is, it only needs to belong to an activity that implements ActionBarActivity. This makes the fragment more flexible and can be added to multiple activities like they are meant to.

Now, all you need to do in the fragment is.

getActionBar().setTitle("Your Title");

This works well if you have a base fragment that your fragments inherit from instead of the normal fragment class.

public abstract class BaseFragment extends Fragment {
    public ActionBar getActionBar() {
        return ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
    }
}

Then in your fragment.

public class YourFragment extends BaseFragment {
    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        getActionBar().setTitle("Your Title");
    }
}

How do I parse JSON with Ruby on Rails?

Here's what I would do:

json = "{\"errorCode\":0,\"errorMessage\":\"\",\"results\":{\"http://www.foo.com\":{\"hash\":\"e5TEd\",\"shortKeywordUrl\":\"\",\"shortUrl\":\"http://b.i.t.ly/1a0p8G\",\"userHash\":\"1a0p8G\"}},\"statusCode\":\"OK\"}"

hash = JSON.parse(json)
results = hash[:results]

If you know the source url then you can use:

source_url = "http://www.foo.com".to_sym

results.fetch(source_url)[:shortUrl]
=> "http://b.i.t.ly/1a0p8G"

If you don't know the key for the source url you can do the following:

results.fetch(results.keys[0])[:shortUrl]
=> "http://b.i.t.ly/1a0p8G"

If you're not wanting to lookup keys using symbols, you can convert the keys in the hash to strings:

results = json[:results].stringify_keys

results.fetch(results.keys[0])["shortUrl"]
=> "http://b.i.t.ly/1a0p8G"

If you're concerned the JSON structure might change you could build a simple JSON Schema and validate the JSON before attempting to access keys. This would provide a guard.

NOTE: Had to mangle the bit.ly url because of posting rules.

Where can I download IntelliJ IDEA Color Schemes?

Please note there are two very nice color schemes by default in IDEA 10.

The one that is included is named Railcasts. It is included with the Ruby plugin (free official plugin, install via plugin manager).

getting exception "IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState"

This can also happen when calling dismiss() on a dialog fragment after the screen has been locked\blanked and the Activity + dialog's instance state has been saved. To get around this call:

dismissAllowingStateLoss()

Literally every single time I'm dismissing a dialog i don't care about it's state anymore anyway, so this is ok to do - you're not actually losing any state.

Getting Textbox value in Javascript

Since you have master page and your control is in content place holder, Your control id will be generated different in client side. you need to do like...

How to easily initialize a list of Tuples?

Why do like tuples? It's like anonymous types: no names. Can not understand structure of data.

I like classic classes

class FoodItem
{
     public int Position { get; set; }
     public string Name { get; set; }
}

List<FoodItem> list = new List<FoodItem>
{
     new FoodItem { Position = 1, Name = "apple" },
     new FoodItem { Position = 2, Name = "kiwi" }
};

How to cast ArrayList<> from List<>

When you do the second one, you're making a new arraylist, you're not trying to pretend the other list is an arraylist.

I mean, what if the original list is implemented as a linkedlist, or some custom list? You won't know. The second approach is preferred if you really need to make an arraylist from the result. But you can just leave it as a list, that's one of the best advantages of using Interfaces!

Passing arguments forward to another javascript function

If you want to only pass certain arguments, you can do so like this:

Foo.bar(TheClass, 'theMethod', 'arg1', 'arg2')

Foo.js

bar (obj, method, ...args) {
  obj[method](...args)
}

obj and method are used by the bar() method, while the rest of args are passed to the actual call.

Is there a way to specify a max height or width for an image?

If you only specify either the height or the width, but not both, most browsers will honor the aspect ratio.

Because you are working with an ASP.NET server control, you may consider executing logic on the server side prior to rendering to decide which (height or width) attribute you want to specify; that is, if you want a fixed height under one condition or a fixed width under another.

Matplotlib scatter plot with different text at each data point

For limited set of values matplotlib is fine. But when you have lots of values the tooltip starts to overlap over other data points. But with limited space you can't ignore the values. Hence it's better to zoom out or zoom in.

Using plotly

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()

df = px.data.gapminder().query("year==2007 and continent=='Americas'")


fig = px.scatter(df, x="gdpPercap", y="lifeExp", text="country", log_x=True, size_max=100, color="lifeExp")
fig.update_traces(textposition='top center')
fig.update_layout(title_text='Life Expectency', title_x=0.5)
fig.show()

how can I connect to a remote mongo server from Mac OS terminal

You are probably connecting fine but don't have sufficient privileges to run show dbs.

You don't need to run the db.auth if you pass the auth in the command line:

mongo somewhere.mongolayer.com:10011/my_database -u username -p password

Once you connect are you able to see collections?

> show collections

If so all is well and you just don't have admin privileges to the database and can't run the show dbs

How do I install PHP cURL on Linux Debian?

Type in console as root:

apt-get update && apt-get install php5-curl

or with sudo:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Sorry I missread.

1st, check your DNS config and if you can ping any host at all,

ping google.com
ping zm.archive.ubuntu.com

If it does not work, check /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/network/resolv.conf, if not, change your apt-source to a different one.

/etc/apt/sources.list

Mirrors: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list

You should not use Ubuntu sources on Debian and vice versa.

SELECT value_variable != ALL('{1,2,3}'::int[])

instead.

Best practice for instantiating a new Android Fragment

setArguments() is useless. It only brings a mess.

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

    public String mTitle;
    public String mInitialTitle;

    public static MyFragment newInstance(String param1) {
        MyFragment f = new MyFragment();
        f.mInitialTitle = param1;
        f.mTitle = param1;
        return f;
    }

    @Override
    public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle state) {
        state.putString("mInitialTitle", mInitialTitle);
        state.putString("mTitle", mTitle);
        super.onSaveInstanceState(state);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle state) {
        if (state != null) {
            mInitialTitle = state.getString("mInitialTitle");
            mTitle = state.getString("mTitle");
        } 
        ...
    }
}

Convert MySql DateTime stamp into JavaScript's Date format

To add to the excellent Andy E answer a function of common usage could be:

Date.createFromMysql = function(mysql_string)
{ 
   var t, result = null;

   if( typeof mysql_string === 'string' )
   {
      t = mysql_string.split(/[- :]/);

      //when t[3], t[4] and t[5] are missing they defaults to zero
      result = new Date(t[0], t[1] - 1, t[2], t[3] || 0, t[4] || 0, t[5] || 0);          
   }

   return result;   
}

In this way given a MySQL date/time in the form "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" or even the short form (only date) "YYYY-MM-DD" you can do:

var d1 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20");
var d2 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20 17:16:00");
alert("d1 year = " + d1.getFullYear());

How to find the index of an element in an int array?

Integer[] array = {1,2,3,4,5,6};

Arrays.asList(array).indexOf(4);

Note that this solution is threadsafe because it creates a new object of type List.

Also you don't want to invoke this in a loop or something like that since you would be creating a new object every time

Given the lat/long coordinates, how can we find out the city/country?

An Open Source alternative is Nominatim from Open Street Map. All you have to do is set the variables in an URL and it returns the city/country of that location. Please check the following link for official documentation: Nominatim

Clearfix with twitter bootstrap

clearfix should contain the floating elements but in your html you have added clearfix only after floating right that is your pull-right so you should do like this:

<div class="clearfix">
  <div id="sidebar">
    <ul>
      <li>A</li>
      <li>A</li>
      <li>C</li>
      <li>D</li>
      <li>E</li>
      <li>F</li>
      <li>...</li>
      <li>Z</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div id="main">
    <div>
      <div class="pull-right">
        <a>RIGHT</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  <div>MOVED BELOW Z</div>
</div>

Happy to know you solved the problem by setting overflow properties. However this is also good idea to clear the float. Where you have floated your elements you could add overflow: hidden; as you have done in your main.

How to send list of file in a folder to a txt file in Linux

If only names of regular files immediately contained within a directory (assume it's ~/dirs) are needed, you can do

find ~/docs -type f -maxdepth 1 > filenames.txt

How to temporarily exit Vim and go back

If you don't mind using your mouse a little bit:

  • Start your terminal,
  • select a file,
  • select Open Tab.

This creates a new tab on the terminal which you can run Vim on. Now use your mouse to shift to/from the terminal. I prefer this instead of always having to type (:shell and exit).
