Differences between Ant and Maven

I'd say it depends upon the size of your project... Personnally, I would use Maven for simple projects that need straightforward compiling, packaging and deployment. As soon as you need to do some more complicated things (many dependencies, creating mapping files...), I would switch to Ant...

Simulating a click in jQuery/JavaScript on a link

Easy! Just use jQuery's click function:

$("#theElement").click();

Getting index value on razor foreach

All of the above answers require logic in the view. Views should be dumb and contain as little logic as possible. Why not create properties in your view model that correspond to position in the list eg:

public int Position {get; set}

In your view model builder you set the position 1 through 4.

BUT .. there is even a cleaner way. Why not make the CSS class a property of your view model? So instead of the switch statement in your partial, you would just do this:

<div class="@Model.GridCSS">

Move the switch statement to your view model builder and populate the CSS class there.

Sort a list of tuples by 2nd item (integer value)

For a lambda-avoiding method, first define your own function:

def MyFn(a):
    return a[1]

then:

sorted([('abc', 121),('abc', 231),('abc', 148), ('abc',221)], key=MyFn)

How to do a regular expression replace in MySQL?

We can use IF condition in SELECT query as below:

Suppose that for anything with "ABC","ABC1","ABC2","ABC3",..., we want to replace with "ABC" then using REGEXP and IF() condition in the SELECT query, we can achieve this.

Syntax:

SELECT IF(column_name REGEXP 'ABC[0-9]$','ABC',column_name)
FROM table1 
WHERE column_name LIKE 'ABC%';

Example:

SELECT IF('ABC1' REGEXP 'ABC[0-9]$','ABC','ABC1');

How to remove a file from the index in git?

You want:

git rm --cached [file]

If you omit the --cached option, it will also delete it from the working tree. git rm is slightly safer than git reset, because you'll be warned if the staged content doesn't match either the tip of the branch or the file on disk. (If it doesn't, you have to add --force.)

make html text input field grow as I type?

How about programmatically modifying the size attribute on the input?

Semantically (imo), this solution is better than the accepted solution because it still uses input fields for user input but it does introduce a little bit of jQuery. Soundcloud does something similar to this for their tagging.

<input size="1" />

$('input').on('keydown', function(evt) {
    var $this = $(this),
        size = parseInt($this.attr('size'), 10),
        isValidKey = (evt.which >= 65 && evt.which <= 90) || // a-zA-Z
                     (evt.which >= 48 && evt.which <= 57) || // 0-9
                     evt.which === 32;

    if ( evt.which === 8 && size > 0 ) {
        // backspace
        $this.attr('size', size - 1);
    } else if ( isValidKey ) {
        // all other keystrokes
        $this.attr('size', size + 1);
    }
});

how to align text vertically center in android

Your TextView Attributes need to be something like,

<TextView ... 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|right" ../>

Now, Description why these need to be done,

 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"

Makes your TextView to match_parent or fill_parent if You don't want to be it like, match_parent you have to give some specified values to layout_height so it get space for vertical center gravity. android:layout_width="match_parent" necessary because it align your TextView in Right side so you can recognize respect to Parent Layout of TextView.

Now, its about android:gravity which makes the content of Your TextView alignment. android:layout_gravity makes alignment of TextView respected to its Parent Layout.

Update:

As below comment says use fill_parent instead of match_parent. (Problem in some device.)

Use CSS to make a span not clickable

CSS relates to visual styling and not behaviour, so the answer is no really.

You could however either use javascript to modify the behaviour or change the styling of the span in question so that it doesn't have the pointy finger, underline, etc. Styling it like that will still leave it clickable.

Even better, change your markup so that it reflects what you want it to do.

Enums in Javascript with ES6

Is there a problem with this formulation?

I don't see any.

Is there a better way?

I'd collapse the two statements into one:

const Colors = Object.freeze({

    BLUE:  Symbol("blue"),
    GREEN: Symbol("green")
});

If you don't like the boilerplate, like the repeated Symbol calls, you can of course also write a helper function makeEnum that creates the same thing from a list of names.

Reading from a text file and storing in a String

How can we read data from a text file and store in a String Variable?

Err, read data from the file and store it in a String variable. It's just code. Not a real question so far.

Is it possible to pass the filename in a method and it would return the String which is the text from the file.

Yes it's possible. It's also a very bad idea. You should deal with the file a part at a time, for example a line at a time. Reading the entire file into memory before you process any of it adds latency; wastes memory; and assumes that the entire file will fit into memory. One day it won't. You don't want to do it this way.

Resolve Javascript Promise outside function scope

I wrote a small lib for this. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@inf3rno/promise.exposed

I used the factory method approach others wrote, but I overrode the then, catch, finally methods too, so you can resolve the original promise by those as well.

Resolving Promise without executor from outside:

const promise = Promise.exposed().then(console.log);
promise.resolve("This should show up in the console.");

Racing with the executor's setTimeout from outside:

const promise = Promise.exposed(function (resolve, reject){
    setTimeout(function (){
        resolve("I almost fell asleep.")
    }, 100000);
}).then(console.log);

setTimeout(function (){
    promise.resolve("I don't want to wait that much.");
}, 100);

There is a no-conflict mode if you don't want to pollute the global namespace:

const createExposedPromise = require("@inf3rno/promise.exposed/noConflict");
const promise = createExposedPromise().then(console.log);
promise.resolve("This should show up in the console.");

How to encrypt and decrypt String with my passphrase in Java (Pc not mobile platform)?

I just want to add that if you want to somehow store the encrypted byte array as String and then retrieve it and decrypt it (often for obfuscation of database values) you can use this approach:

import java.security.Key;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;
public class StrongAES 
{
    public void run() 
    {
        try 
        {
            String text = "Hello World";
            String key = "Bar12345Bar12345"; // 128 bit key
            // Create key and cipher
            Key aesKey = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), "AES");
            Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
            // encrypt the text
            cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
            byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(text.getBytes());

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            for (byte b: encrypted) {
                sb.append((char)b);
            }

            // the encrypted String
            String enc = sb.toString();
            System.out.println("encrypted:" + enc);

            // now convert the string to byte array
            // for decryption
            byte[] bb = new byte[enc.length()];
            for (int i=0; i<enc.length(); i++) {
                bb[i] = (byte) enc.charAt(i);
            }

            // decrypt the text
            cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
            String decrypted = new String(cipher.doFinal(bb));
            System.err.println("decrypted:" + decrypted);

        }
        catch(Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        StrongAES app = new StrongAES();
        app.run();
    }
}

Reading a text file using OpenFileDialog in windows forms

for this approach, you will need to add system.IO to your references by adding the next line of code below the other references near the top of the c# file(where the other using **. stand).

using System.IO;

this next code contains 2 methods of reading the text, the first will read single lines and stores them in a string variable, the second one reads the whole text and saves it in a string variable(including "\n" (enters))

both should be quite easy to understand and use.

    string pathToFile = "";//to save the location of the selected object
    private void openToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog theDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
        theDialog.Title = "Open Text File";
        theDialog.Filter = "TXT files|*.txt";
        theDialog.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
        if (theDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(theDialog.FileName.ToString());
            pathToFile = theDialog.FileName;//doesn't need .tostring because .filename returns a string// saves the location of the selected object

        }

        if (File.Exists(pathToFile))// only executes if the file at pathtofile exists//you need to add the using System.IO reference at the top of te code to use this
        {
            //method1
            string firstLine = File.ReadAllLines(pathToFile).Skip(0).Take(1).First();//selects first line of the file
            string secondLine = File.ReadAllLines(pathToFile).Skip(1).Take(1).First();

            //method2
            string text = "";
            using(StreamReader sr =new StreamReader(pathToFile))
            {
                text = sr.ReadToEnd();//all text wil be saved in text enters are also saved
            }
        }
    }

To split the text you can use .Split(" ") and use a loop to put the name back into one string. if you don't want to use .Split() then you could also use foreach and ad an if statement to split it where needed.

to add the data to your class you can use the constructor to add the data like:

  public Employee(int EMPLOYEENUM, string NAME, string ADRESS, double WAGE, double HOURS)
        {
            EmployeeNum = EMPLOYEENUM;
            Name = NAME;
            Address = ADRESS;
            Wage = WAGE;
            Hours = HOURS;
        }

or you can add it using the set by typing .variablename after the name of the instance(if they are public and have a set this will work). to read the data you can use the get by typing .variablename after the name of the instance(if they are public and have a get this will work).

What is a magic number, and why is it bad?

Magic Number Vs. Symbolic Constant: When to replace?

Magic: Unknown semantic

Symbolic Constant -> Provides both correct semantic and correct context for use

Semantic: The meaning or purpose of a thing.

"Create a constant, name it after the meaning, and replace the number with it." -- Martin Fowler

First, magic numbers are not just numbers. Any basic value can be "magic". Basic values are manifest entities such as integers, reals, doubles, floats, dates, strings, booleans, characters, and so on. The issue is not the data type, but the "magic" aspect of the value as it appears in our code text.

What do we mean by "magic"? To be precise: By "magic", we intend to point to the semantics (meaning or purpose) of the value in the context of our code; that it is unknown, unknowable, unclear, or confusing. This is the notion of "magic". A basic value is not magic when its semantic meaning or purpose-of-being-there is quickly and easily known, clear, and understood (not confusing) from the surround context without special helper words (e.g. symbolic constant).

Therefore, we identify magic numbers by measuring the ability of a code reader to know, be clear, and understand the meaning and purpose of a basic value from its surrounding context. The less known, less clear, and more confused the reader is, the more "magic" the basic value is.

Helpful Definitions

confuse: cause (someone) to become bewildered or perplexed.
bewildered: cause (someone) to become perplexed and confused.
perplexed: completely baffled; very puzzled.
baffled: totally bewilder or perplex.
puzzled: unable to understand; perplexed.
understand: perceive the intended meaning of (words, a language, or speaker).
meaning: what is meant by a word, text, concept, or action.
meant: intend to convey, indicate, or refer to (a particular thing or notion); signify.
signify: be an indication of.
indication: a sign or piece of information that indicates something.
indicate: point out; show.
sign: an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else.

Basics

We have two scenarios for our magic basic values. Only the second is of primary importance for programmers and code:

A lone basic value (e.g. number) from which its meaning is unknown, unknowable, unclear or confusing.
A basic value (e.g. number) in context, but its meaning remains unknown, unknowable, unclear or confusing.

An overarching dependency of "magic" is how the lone basic value (e.g. number) has no commonly known semantic (like Pi), but has a locally known semantic (e.g. your program), which is not entirely clear from context or could be abused in good or bad context(s).

The semantics of most programming languages will not allow us to use lone basic values, except (perhaps) as data (i.e. tables of data). When we encounter "magic numbers", we generally do so in a context. Therefore, the answer to

"Do I replace this magic number with a symbolic constant?"

is:

"How quickly can you assess and understand the semantic meaning of the number (its purpose for being there) in its context?"

Kind of Magic, but not quite

With this thought in mind, we can quickly see how a number like Pi (3.14159) is not a "magic number" when placed in proper context (e.g. 2 x 3.14159 x radius or 2*Pi*r). Here, the number 3.14159 is mentally recognized Pi without the symbolic constant identifier.

Still, we generally replace 3.14159 with a symbolic constant identifier like Pi because of the length and complexity of the number. The aspects of length and complexity of Pi (coupled with a need for accuracy) usually means the symbolic identifier or constant is less prone to error. Recognition of "Pi" as a name is a simply a convenient bonus, but is not the primary reason for having the constant.

Meanwhile: Back at the Ranch

Laying aside common constants like Pi, let's focus primarily on numbers with special meanings, but which those meanings are constrained to the universe of our software system. Such a number might be "2" (as a basic integer value).

If I use the number 2 by itself, my first question might be: What does "2" mean? The meaning of "2" by itself is unknown and unknowable without context, leaving its use unclear and confusing. Even though having just "2" in our software will not happen because of language semantics, we do want to see that "2" by itself carries no special semantics or obvious purpose being alone.

Let's put our lone "2" in a context of: padding := 2, where the context is a "GUI Container". In this context the meaning of 2 (as pixels or other graphical unit) offers us a quick guess of its semantics (meaning and purpose). We might stop here and say that 2 is okay in this context and there is nothing else we need to know. However, perhaps in our software universe this is not the whole story. There is more to it, but "padding = 2" as a context cannot reveal it.

Let's further pretend that 2 as pixel padding in our program is of the "default_padding" variety throughout our system. Therefore, writing the instruction padding = 2 is not good enough. The notion of "default" is not revealed. Only when I write: padding = default_padding as a context and then elsewhere: default_padding = 2 do I fully realize a better and fuller meaning (semantic and purpose) of 2 in our system.

The example above is pretty good because "2" by itself could be anything. Only when we limit the range and domain of understanding to "my program" where 2 is the default_padding in the GUI UX parts of "my program", do we finally make sense of "2" in its proper context. Here "2" is a "magic" number, which is factored out to a symbolic constant default_padding within the context of the GUI UX of "my program" in order to make it use as default_padding quickly understood in the greater context of the enclosing code.

Thus, any basic value, whose meaning (semantic and purpose) cannot be sufficiently and quickly understood is a good candidate for a symbolic constant in the place of the basic value (e.g. magic number).

Going Further

Numbers on a scale might have semantics as well. For example, pretend we are making a D&D game, where we have the notion of a monster. Our monster object has a feature called life_force, which is an integer. The numbers have meanings that are not knowable or clear without words to supply meaning. Thus, we begin by arbitrarily saying:

full_life_force: INTEGER = 10 -- Very alive (and unhurt)
minimum_life_force: INTEGER = 1 -- Barely alive (very hurt)
dead: INTEGER = 0 -- Dead
undead: INTEGER = -1 -- Min undead (almost dead)
zombie: INTEGER = -10 -- Max undead (very undead)

From the symbolic constants above, we start to get a mental picture of the aliveness, deadness, and "undeadness" (and possible ramifications or consequences) for our monsters in our D&D game. Without these words (symbolic constants), we are left with just the numbers ranging from -10 .. 10. Just the range without the words leaves us in a place of possibly great confusion and potentially with errors in our game if different parts of the game have dependencies on what that range of numbers means to various operations like attack_elves or seek_magic_healing_potion.

Therefore, when searching for and considering replacement of "magic numbers" we want to ask very purpose-filled questions about the numbers within the context of our software and even how the numbers interact semantically with each other.

Conclusion

Let's review what questions we ought to ask:

You might have a magic number if ...

Can the basic value have a special meaning or purpose in your softwares universe?
Can the special meaning or purpose likely be unknown, unknowable, unclear, or confusing, even in its proper context?
Can a proper basic value be improperly used with bad consequences in the wrong context?
Can an improper basic value be properly used with bad consequences in the right context?
Does the basic value have a semantic or purpose relationships with other basic values in specific contexts?
Can a basic value exist in more than one place in our code with different semantics in each, thereby causing our reader a confusion?

Examine stand-alone manifest constant basic values in your code text. Ask each question slowly and thoughtfully about each instance of such a value. Consider the strength of your answer. Many times, the answer is not black and white, but has shades of misunderstood meaning and purpose, speed of learning, and speed of comprehension. There is also a need to see how it connects to the software machine around it.

In the end, the answer to replacement is answer the measure (in your mind) of the strength or weakness of the reader to make the connection (e.g. "get it"). The more quickly they understand meaning and purpose, the less "magic" you have.

CONCLUSION: Replace basic values with symbolic constants only when the magic is large enough to cause difficult to detect bugs arising from confusions.

Delete all data in SQL Server database

SQLMenace's solution worked for me with a slight tweak to how data is deleted - DELETE FROM instead of TRUNCATE.

-- disable referential integrity
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL' 
GO 

EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'DELETE FROM ?' 
GO 

-- enable referential integrity again 
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL' 
GO

Crontab Day of the Week syntax

You can also use day names like Mon for Monday, Tue for Tuesday, etc. It's more human friendly.

JQuery datepicker not working

The problem is you are not linking to the jQuery UI library (which is where datepicker resides):

How to load/reference a file as a File instance from the classpath

Try getting hold of a URL for your classpath resource:

URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/com/path/to/file.txt")

Then create a file using the constructor that accepts a URI:

File file = new File(url.toURI());

Hello World in Python

print("Hello, World!")

You are probably using Python 3.0, where print is now a function (hence the parenthesis) instead of a statement.

Clone an image in cv2 python

You can simply use Python standard library. Make a shallow copy of the original image as follows:

clone_img = copy.copy(original_img)

How do I delete all messages from a single queue using the CLI?

In case you are using RabbitMQ with Docker your steps should be:

Connect to container: docker exec -it your_container_id bash
rabbitmqctl purge_queue Queue-1 (where Queue-1 is queue name)

Determine the line of code that causes a segmentation fault?

All of the above answers are correct and recommended; this answer is intended only as a last-resort if none of the aforementioned approaches can be used.

If all else fails, you can always recompile your program with various temporary debug-print statements (e.g. fprintf(stderr, "CHECKPOINT REACHED @ %s:%i\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);) sprinkled throughout what you believe to be the relevant parts of your code. Then run the program, and observe what the was last debug-print printed just before the crash occurred -- you know your program got that far, so the crash must have happened after that point. Add or remove debug-prints, recompile, and run the test again, until you have narrowed it down to a single line of code. At that point you can fix the bug and remove all of the temporary debug-prints.

It's quite tedious, but it has the advantage of working just about anywhere -- the only times it might not is if you don't have access to stdout or stderr for some reason, or if the bug you are trying to fix is a race-condition whose behavior changes when the timing of the program changes (since the debug-prints will slow down the program and change its timing)

TensorFlow: "Attempting to use uninitialized value" in variable initialization

It's not 100% clear from the code example, but if the list initial_parameters_of_hypothesis_function is a list of tf.Variable objects, then the line session.run(init) will fail because TensorFlow isn't (yet) smart enough to figure out the dependencies in variable initialization. To work around this, you should change the loop that creates parameters to use initial_parameters_of_hypothesis_function[i].initialized_value(), which adds the necessary dependency:

parameters = []
for i in range(0, number_of_attributes, 1):
    parameters.append(tf.Variable(
        initial_parameters_of_hypothesis_function[i].initialized_value()))

How to check if the key pressed was an arrow key in Java KeyListener?

How are you wanting to refactor it? What is the goal of the refactoring?

Add a new item to a dictionary in Python

It can be as simple as:

default_data['item3'] = 3

As Chris' answer says, you can use update to add more than one item. An example:

default_data.update({'item4': 4, 'item5': 5})

Please see the documentation about dictionaries as data structures and dictionaries as built-in types.

Can't draw Histogram, 'x' must be numeric

Because of the thousand separator, the data will have been read as 'non-numeric'. So you need to convert it:

 we <- gsub(",", "", we)   # remove comma
 we <- as.numeric(we)      # turn into numbers

and now you can do

 hist(we)

and other numeric operations.

Getting attributes of Enum's value

I implemented this extension method to get the description from enum values. It works for all kind of enums.

public static class EnumExtension
{
    public static string ToDescription(this System.Enum value)
    {
        FieldInfo fi = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
        var attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
        return attributes.Length > 0 ? attributes[0].Description : value.ToString();
    }
}

tar: file changed as we read it

To enhance Fabian's one-liner; let us say that we want to ignore only exit status 1 but to preserve the exit status if it is anything else:

tar -czf sample.tar.gz dir1 dir2 || ( export ret=$?; [[ $ret -eq 1 ]] || exit "$ret" )

This does everything sandeep's script does, on one line.

What does "subject" mean in certificate?

Subject is the certificate's common name and is a critical property for the certificate in a lot of cases if it's a server certificate and clients are looking for a positive identification.

As an example on an SSL certificate for a web site the subject would be the domain name of the web site.

Printing prime numbers from 1 through 100

this is my approach from a simple blog:

//Prime Numbers generation in C++
//Using for loops and conditional structures
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int a = 2;       //start from 2
long long int b = 1000;     //ends at 1000

for (int i = a; i <= b; i++)
{

 for (int j = 2; j <= i; j++)
 {
    if (!(i%j)&&(i!=j))    //Condition for not prime
        {
            break;
        }

    if (j==i)             //condition for Prime Numbers
        {
              cout << i << endl;

        }
 }
}
}

   echo "\033======== Start ========\n";
});

And change color text:

if (App::environment() === 'production') {
    echo "\033[0;33m======== WARNING ========\033[0m\n";

Python Graph Library

Use the Boost Graph Library - Python Bindings.

Converting a vector<int> to string

I usually do it this way...

#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    std::vector<char> vec;
    //... do something with vec
    std::string str(vec.begin(), vec.end());
    //... do something with str
    return 0;
}

Unresolved external symbol in object files

Yet another possibility to check, it was my problem this time.

I had added the function to the library, and included the library's output folder in the search path.

But I also had a folder with an older version of the library listed before, so VS was using the old library, and of course not finding the new function.

Optional Parameters in Web Api Attribute Routing

Converting my comment into an answer to complement @Kiran Chala's answer as it seems helpful for the audiences-

When we mark a parameter as optional in the action uri using ? character then we must provide default values to the parameters in the method signature as shown below:

MyMethod(string name = "someDefaultValue", int? Id = null)

Creating multiple objects with different names in a loop to store in an array list

ArrayList<Customer> custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
while(youWantToContinue) {
    //get a customerName
    //get an amount
    custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount);
}

For this to work... you'll have to fix your constructor...

Assuming your Customer class has variables called name and sale, your constructor should look like this:

public Customer(String customerName, double amount) {
    name = customerName;
    sale = amount;
}

Change your Store class to something more like this:

public class Store {

    private ArrayList<Customer> custArr;

    public new Store() {
        custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
    }

    public void addSale(String customerName, double amount) {
        custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount));
    }

    public Customer getSaleAtIndex(int index) {
        return custArr.get(index);
    }

    //or if you want the entire ArrayList:
    public ArrayList getCustArr() {
        return custArr;
    }
}

How to implement class constants?

TypeScript 2.0 has the readonly modifier:

class MyClass {
    readonly myReadOnlyProperty = 1;

    myMethod() {
        console.log(this.myReadOnlyProperty);
        this.myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly
    }
}

new MyClass().myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly

It's not exactly a constant because it allows assignment in the constructor, but that's most likely not a big deal.

Alternative Solution

An alternative is to use the static keyword with readonly:

class MyClass {
    static readonly myReadOnlyProperty = 1;

    constructor() {
        MyClass.myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly
    }

    myMethod() {
        console.log(MyClass.myReadOnlyProperty);
        MyClass.myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly
    }
}

MyClass.myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly

This has the benefit of not being assignable in the constructor and only existing in one place.

How do I convert between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in Java?

How to set a cron job to run at a exact time?

My use case is that I'm on a metered account. Data transfer is limited on weekdays, Mon - Fri, from 6am - 6pm. I am using bandwidth limiting, but somehow, data still slips through, about 1GB per day!

I strongly suspected it's sickrage or sickbeard, doing a high amount of searches. My download machine is called "download." The following was my solution, using the above,for starting, and stopping the download VM, using KVM:

# Stop download Mon-Fri, 6am
0 6 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root          virsh shutdown download
# Start download Mon-Fri, 6pm
0 18 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root         virsh start download

I think this is correct, and hope it helps someone else too.

How do you append an int to a string in C++?

These work for general strings (in case you do not want to output to file/console, but store for later use or something).

boost.lexical_cast

MyStr += boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(MyInt);

String streams

//sstream.h
std::stringstream Stream;
Stream.str(MyStr);
Stream << MyInt;
MyStr = Stream.str();

// If you're using a stream (for example, cout), rather than std::string
someStream << MyInt;

How do I pass multiple parameters into a function in PowerShell?

Parameters in calls to functions in PowerShell (all versions) are space-separated, not comma separated. Also, the parentheses are entirely unneccessary and will cause a parse error in PowerShell 2.0 (or later) if Set-StrictMode -Version 2 or higher is active. Parenthesised arguments are used in .NET methods only.

function foo($a, $b, $c) {
   "a: $a; b: $b; c: $c"
}

ps> foo 1 2 3
a: 1; b: 2; c: 3

Unable to establish SSL connection upon wget on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Although this is almost certainly not the OPs issue, you can also get Unable to establish SSL connection from wget if you're behind a proxy and don't have HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables set correctly. Make sure to set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY to point to your proxy.

This is a common situation if you work for a large corporation.

"column not allowed here" error in INSERT statement

Like Scaffman said - You are missing quotes. Always when you are passing a value to varchar2 use quotes

INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES('PQ95VM','HAPPY_STREET','FRANCE');

So one (') starts the string and the second (') closes it.

But if you want to add a quote symbol into a string for example:

My father told me: 'you have to be brave, son'.

You have to use a triple quote symbol like:

'My father told me: ''you have to be brave, son''.'

*adding quote method can vary on different db engines

How do I raise an exception in Rails so it behaves like other Rails exceptions?

You can do it like this:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  ## Exception Handling
  class NotActivated < StandardError
  end

  rescue_from NotActivated, :with => :not_activated

  def not_activated(exception)
    flash[:notice] = "This user is not activated."
    Event.new_event "Exception: #{exception.message}", current_user, request.remote_ip
    redirect_to "/"
  end

  def show
      // Do something that fails..
      raise NotActivated unless @user.is_activated?
  end
end

What you're doing here is creating a class "NotActivated" that will serve as Exception. Using raise, you can throw "NotActivated" as an Exception. rescue_from is the way of catching an Exception with a specified method (not_activated in this case). Quite a long example, but it should show you how it works.

Best wishes,
Fabian

https connection using CURL from command line

You need to provide the entire certificate chain to curl, since curl no longer ships with any CA certs. Since the cacert option can only use one file, you need to concat the full chain info into 1 file

Copy the certificate chain (from your browser, for example) into DER encoded binary x.509(.cer). Do this for each cert.

Convert the certs into PEM, and concat them into 1 file.

openssl x509 -inform DES -in file1.cer -out file1.pem -text
openssl x509 -inform DES -in file2.cer -out file2.pem -text
openssl x509 -inform DES -in file3.cer -out file3.pem -text

cat *.pem > certRepo

curl --cacert certRepo -u user:passwd -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' "https//somesecureserver.com/rest/field"

I wrote a blog on how to do this here: http://javamemento.blogspot.no/2015/10/using-curl-with-ssl-cert-chain.html

Find the location of a character in string

To only find the first locations, use lapply() with min():

my_string <- c("test1", "test1test1", "test1test1test1")

unlist(lapply(gregexpr(pattern = '1', my_string), min))
#> [1] 5 5 5

# or the readable tidyverse form
my_string %>%
  gregexpr(pattern = '1') %>%
  lapply(min) %>%
  unlist()
#> [1] 5 5 5

To only find the last locations, use lapply() with max():

unlist(lapply(gregexpr(pattern = '1', my_string), max))
#> [1]  5 10 15

# or the readable tidyverse form
my_string %>%
  gregexpr(pattern = '1') %>%

Convert Promise to Observable

1 Direct Execution / Conversion

Use from to directly convert a previously created Promise to an Observable.

import { from } from 'rxjs';

// getPromise() is called once, the promise is passed to the Observable
const observable$ = from(getPromise());

observable$ will be a hot Observable that effectively replays the Promises value to Subscribers.

It's a hot Observable because the producer (in this case the Promise) is created outside of the Observable. Multiple subscribers will share the same Promise. If the inner Promise has been resolved a new subscriber to the Observable will get its value immediately.

2 Deferred Execution On Every Subscribe

Use defer with a Promise factory function as input to defer the creation and conversion of a Promise to an Observable.

import { defer } from 'rxjs';

// getPromise() is called every time someone subscribes to the observable$
const observable$ = defer(() => getPromise());

observable$ will be a cold Observable.

It's a cold Observable because the producer (the Promise) is created inside of the Observable. Each subscriber will create a new Promise by calling the given Promise factory function.

This allows you to create an observable$ without creating and thus executing a Promise right away and without sharing this Promise with multiple subscribers. Each subscriber to observable$ effectively calls from(promiseFactory()).subscribe(subscriber). So each subscriber creates and converts its own new Promise to a new Observable and attaches itself to this new Observable.

3 Many Operators Accept Promises Directly

Most RxJS operators that combine (e.g. merge, concat, forkJoin, combineLatest ...) or transform observables (e.g. switchMap, mergeMap, concatMap, catchError ...) accept promises directly. If you're using one of them anyway you don't have to use from to wrap a promise first (but to create a cold observable you still might have to use defer).

// Execute two promises simultaneously
forkJoin(getPromise(1), getPromise(2)).pipe(
  switchMap(([v1, v2]) => v1.getPromise(v2)) // map to nested Promise
)

Check the documentation or implementation to see if the operator you're using accepts ObservableInput or SubscribableOrPromise.

type ObservableInput<T> = SubscribableOrPromise<T> | ArrayLike<T> | Iterable<T>;

Remove all special characters from a string in R?

You need to use regular expressions to identify the unwanted characters. For the most easily readable code, you want the str_replace_all from the stringr package, though gsub from base R works just as well.

The exact regular expression depends upon what you are trying to do. You could just remove those specific characters that you gave in the question, but it's much easier to remove all punctuation characters.

x <- "a1~!@#$%^&*(){}_+:\"<>?,./;'[]-=" #or whatever
str_replace_all(x, "[[:punct:]]", " ")

(The base R equivalent is gsub("[[:punct:]]", " ", x).)

An alternative is to swap out all non-alphanumeric characters.

str_replace_all(x, "[^[:alnum:]]", " ")

Note that the definition of what constitutes a letter or a number or a punctuatution mark varies slightly depending upon your locale, so you may need to experiment a little to get exactly what you want.

"React.Children.only expected to receive a single React element child" error when putting <Image> and <TouchableHighlight> in a <View>

just after TouchableWithoutFeedback or <TouchableHighlight> insert a <View> this way you won't get this error. why is that then @Pedram answer or other answers explains enough.

Escaping single quotes in JavaScript string for JavaScript evaluation

Best to use JSON.stringify() to cover all your bases, like backslashes and other special characters. Here's your original function with that in place instead of modifying strInputString:

function testEscape() {
    var strResult = "";
    var strInputString = "fsdsd'4565sd";

    var strTest = "strResult = " + JSON.stringify(strInputString) + ";";
    eval(strTest);
    alert(strResult);
}

(This way your strInputString could be something like \\\'\"'"''\\abc'\ and it will still work fine.)

Note that it adds its own surrounding double-quotes, so you don't need to include single quotes anymore.

How to count the number of occurrences of an element in a List

Sorry there's no simple method call that can do it. All you'd need to do though is create a map and count frequency with it.

HashMap<String,int> frequencymap = new HashMap<String,int>();
foreach(String a in animals) {
  if(frequencymap.containsKey(a)) {
    frequencymap.put(a, frequencymap.get(a)+1);
  }
  else{ frequencymap.put(a, 1); }
}

Multiple files upload in Codeigniter

            $name = time().$files ['multipleUpload'] ['name'] [$i];
            $_FILES ['multipleUpload'] ['name'] = $name;
            $_FILES ['multipleUpload'] ['type'] = $files ['multipleUpload'] ['type'] [$i];
            $_FILES ['multipleUpload'] ['tmp_name'] = $files ['multipleUpload'] ['tmp_name'] [$i];
            $_FILES ['multipleUpload'] ['error'] = $files ['multipleUpload'] ['error'] [$i];
            $_FILES ['multipleUpload'] ['size'] = $files ['multipleUpload'] ['size'] [$i];

            $this->upload->initialize($this->set_upload_options($file_path));
            if(!($this->upload->do_upload('multipleUpload')) || $files ['multipleUpload'] ['error'] [$i] !=0)
            {
                print_r($this->upload->display_errors());

How to define Singleton in TypeScript

In Typescript, one doesn't necessarily have to follow the new instance() Singleton methodology. An imported, constructor-less static class can work equally as well.

Consider:

export class YourSingleton {

   public static foo:bar;

   public static initialise(_initVars:any):void {
     YourSingleton.foo = _initvars.foo;
   }

   public static doThing():bar {
     return YourSingleton.foo
   }
}

You can import the class and refer to YourSingleton.doThing() in any other class. But remember, because this is a static class, it has no constructor so I usually use an intialise() method that is called from a class that imports the Singleton:

import {YourSingleton} from 'singleton.ts';

YourSingleton.initialise(params);
let _result:bar = YourSingleton.doThing();

Don't forget that in a static class, every method and variable needs to also be static so instead of this you would use the full class name YourSingleton.

How to sort a data frame by alphabetic order of a character variable in R?

This really belongs with @Ramnath's answer but I can't comment as I don't have enough reputation yet. You can also use the arrange function from the dplyr package in the same way as the plyr package.

How to check if array is empty or does not exist?

You want to do the check for undefined first. If you do it the other way round, it will generate an error if the array is undefined.

if (array === undefined || array.length == 0) {
    // array empty or does not exist
}

Update

This answer is getting a fair amount of attention, so I'd like to point out that my original answer, more than anything else, addressed the wrong order of the conditions being evaluated in the question. In this sense, it fails to address several scenarios, such as null values, other types of objects with a length property, etc. It is also not very idiomatic JavaScript.

The foolproof approach
Taking some inspiration from the comments, below is what I currently consider to be the foolproof way to check whether an array is empty or does not exist. It also takes into account that the variable might not refer to an array, but to some other type of object with a length property.

if (!Array.isArray(array) || !array.length) {
  // array does not exist, is not an array, or is empty
  // ? do not attempt to process array
}

To break it down:

Array.isArray(), unsurprisingly, checks whether its argument is an array. This weeds out values like null, undefined and anything else that is not an array.
Note that this will also eliminate array-like objects, such as the arguments object and DOM NodeList objects. Depending on your situation, this might not be the behavior you're after.
The array.length condition checks whether the variable's length property evaluates to a truthy value. Because the previous condition already established that we are indeed dealing with an array, more strict comparisons like array.length != 0 or array.length !== 0 are not required here.

The pragmatic approach
In a lot of cases, the above might seem like overkill. Maybe you're using a higher order language like TypeScript that does most of the type-checking for you at compile-time, or you really don't care whether the object is actually an array, or just array-like.

In those cases, I tend to go for the following, more idiomatic JavaScript:

if (!array || !array.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or, more frequently, its inverse:

if (array && array.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

With the introduction of the optional chaining operator (Elvis operator) in ECMAScript 2020, this can be shortened even further:

if (!array?.length) {
    // array or array.length are falsy
    // ? do not attempt to process array
}

Or the opposite:

if (array?.length) {
    // array and array.length are truthy
    // ? probably OK to process array
}

How do I check two or more conditions in one <c:if>?

Recommendation:

when you have more than one condition with and and or is better separate with () to avoid verification problems

<c:if test="${(not validID) and (addressIso == 'US' or addressIso == 'BR')}">

Check if element found in array c++

There are many ways...one is to use the std::find() algorithm, e.g.

#include <algorithm>

int myArray[] = { 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 };
size_t myArraySize = sizeof(myArray) / sizeof(int);
int *end = myArray + myArraySize;
// find the value 0:
int *result = std::find(myArray, end, 0);
if (result != end) {
  // found value at "result" pointer location...
}

How can I use JQuery to post JSON data?

Using Promise and checking if the body object is a valid JSON. If not a Promise reject will be returned.

var DoPost = function(url, body) {
    try {
        body = JSON.stringify(body);
    } catch (error) {
        return reject(error);
    }
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: url,
                data: body,
                contentType: "application/json",
                dataType: 'json'
            })
            .done(function(data) {
                return resolve(data);
            })
            .fail(function(error) {
                console.error(error);
                return reject(error);
            })
            .always(function() {
                // called after done or fail
            });
    });
}

JavaScript: How to find out if the user browser is Chrome?

If you're feeling brave, you can experiment with browser sniffing and get a version:

var ua = navigator.userAgent;
if(/chrome/i.test(ua)) {
    var uaArray = ua.split(' ')
    ,   version = uaArray[uaArray.length - 2].substr(7);
}

This detected version might be a Chrome version, or a Edge version, or something else. Browser plugins can easily change userAgent and platform and other things though, so this is not recommended.

Apologies to The Big Lebowski for using his answer within mine.

Cannot get to $rootScope

You can not ask for instance during configuration phase - you can ask only for providers.

var app = angular.module('modx', []);

// configure stuff
app.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
  // you can inject any provider here
});

// run blocks
app.run(function($rootScope) {
  // you can inject any instance here
});

See http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/module for more info.

Is there any way to start with a POST request using Selenium?

Selenium doesn't currently offer API for this, but there are several ways to initiate an HTTP request in your test. It just depends what language you are writing in.

In Java for example, it might look like this:

// setup the request
String request = "startpoint?stuff1=foo&stuff2=bar";
URL url = new URL(request);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

// get a response - maybe "success" or "true", XML or JSON etc.
InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
String line;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    response.append(line);
    response.append('\r');
}
bufferedReader.close();

// continue with test
if (response.toString().equals("expected response"){
    // do selenium
}

How to check Oracle patches are installed?

I understand the original post is for Oracle 10 but this is for reference by anyone else who finds it via Google.

Under Oracle 12c, I found that that my registry$history is empty. This works instead:

select * from registry$sqlpatch;

c++ parse int from string

You can use istringstream.

string s = "10";

// create an input stream with your string.
istringstream is(str);

int i;
// use is like an input stream
is >> i;

How to find a hash key containing a matching value

You could use Enumerable#select:

clients.select{|key, hash| hash["client_id"] == "2180" }
#=> [["orange", {"client_id"=>"2180"}]]

Note that the result will be an array of all the matching values, where each is an array of the key and value.

How to log a method's execution time exactly in milliseconds?

In Swift, I'm using:

In my Macros.swift I just added

var startTime = NSDate()
func TICK(){ startTime =  NSDate() }
func TOCK(function: String = __FUNCTION__, file: String = __FILE__, line: Int = __LINE__){
    println("\(function) Time: \(startTime.timeIntervalSinceNow)\nLine:\(line) File: \(file)")
}

you can now just call anywhere

TICK()

// your code to be tracked

TOCK()

Swift 5.0

   var startTime = NSDate()
func TICK(){ startTime =  NSDate() }
func TOCK(function: String = #function, file: String = #file, line: Int = #line){
    print("\(function) Time: \(startTime.timeIntervalSinceNow)\nLine:\(line) File: \(file)")
}

this code is based on Ron's code translate to Swift, he has the credits
I'm using start date at global level, any suggestion to improve are welcome

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

Thanks for the help. I've managed to get it working now so thought I would post so that the others can use to help them.

Server:

public class Server {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        ServerSocket serverSocket = null;

        try {
            serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            System.out.println("Can't setup server on this port number. ");
        }

        Socket socket = null;
        InputStream in = null;
        OutputStream out = null;
        
        try {
            socket = serverSocket.accept();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            System.out.println("Can't accept client connection. ");
        }
        
        try {
            in = socket.getInputStream();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            System.out.println("Can't get socket input stream. ");
        }

        try {
            out = new FileOutputStream("M:\\test2.xml");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
            System.out.println("File not found. ");
        }

        byte[] bytes = new byte[16*1024];

        int count;
        while ((count = in.read(bytes)) > 0) {
            out.write(bytes, 0, count);
        }

        out.close();
        in.close();
        socket.close();
        serverSocket.close();
    }
}

and the Client:

public class Client {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Socket socket = null;
        String host = "127.0.0.1";

        socket = new Socket(host, 4444);
        
        File file = new File("M:\\test.xml");
        // Get the size of the file
        long length = file.length();
        byte[] bytes = new byte[16 * 1024];
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
        OutputStream out = socket.getOutputStream();
        
        int count;
        while ((count = in.read(bytes)) > 0) {
            out.write(bytes, 0, count);
        }

        out.close();
        in.close();
        socket.close();
    }
}

How can I format a nullable DateTime with ToString()?

IFormattable also includes a format provider that can be used, it allows both format of IFormatProvider to be null in dotnet 4.0 this would be

/// <summary>
/// Extentionclass for a nullable structs
/// </summary>
public static class NullableStructExtensions {

    /// <summary>
    /// Formats a nullable struct
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="source"></param>
    /// <param name="format">The format string 
    /// If <c>null</c> use the default format defined for the type of the IFormattable implementation.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">The format provider 
    /// If <c>null</c> the default provider is used</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The string to show when the source is <c>null</c>. 
    /// If <c>null</c> an empty string is returned</param>
    /// <returns>The formatted string or the default value if the source is <c>null</c></returns>
    public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, string format = null, 
                                     IFormatProvider provider = null, 
                                     string defaultValue = null) 
                                     where T : struct, IFormattable {
        return source.HasValue
                   ? source.Value.ToString(format, provider)
                   : (String.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultValue) ? String.Empty : defaultValue);
    }
}

using together with named parameters you can do:

dt2.ToString(defaultValue: "n/a");

Node.js – events js 72 throw er unhandled 'error' event

I always do the following whenever I get such error:

// remove node_modules/
rm -rf node_modules/

and then start the project

npm start //or, yarn start

It works fine after re-installing node_modules. But I don't know if it's good practice.

Use .corr to get the correlation between two columns

If you want the correlations between all pairs of columns, you could do something like this:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def get_corrs(df):
    col_correlations = df.corr()
    col_correlations.loc[:, :] = np.tril(col_correlations, k=-1)
    cor_pairs = col_correlations.stack()
    return cor_pairs.to_dict()

my_corrs = get_corrs(df)
# and the following line to retrieve the single correlation
print(my_corrs[('Citable docs per Capita','Energy Supply per Capita')])

How to get the current location in Google Maps Android API v2?

The Google Maps API location now works, even has listeners, you can do it using that, for example:

private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener myLocationChangeListener = new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
        LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        mMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(loc));
        if(mMap != null){
            mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(loc, 16.0f));
        }
    }
};

and then set the listener for the map:

mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);

This will get called when the map first finds the location.

No need for LocationService or LocationManager at all.

OnMyLocationChangeListener interface is deprecated. use com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi instead. FusedLocationProviderApi provides improved location finding and power usage and is used by the "My Location" blue dot. See the MyLocationDemoActivity in the sample applications folder for example example code, or the Location Developer Guide.

HintPath vs ReferencePath in Visual Studio

According to this MSDN blog: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/manishagarwal/2005/09/28/resolving-file-references-in-team-build-part-2/

There is a search order for assemblies when building. The search order is as follows:

Files from the current project – indicated by ${CandidateAssemblyFiles}.
$(ReferencePath) property that comes from .user/targets file.
%(HintPath) metadata indicated by reference item.
Target framework directory.
Directories found in registry that uses AssemblyFoldersEx Registration.
Registered assembly folders, indicated by ${AssemblyFolders}.
$(OutputPath) or $(OutDir)
GAC

So, if the desired assembly is found by HintPath, but an alternate assembly can be found using ReferencePath, it will prefer the ReferencePath'd assembly to the HintPath'd one.

What does enumerate() mean?

It's a builtin function that returns an object that can be iterated over. See the documentation.

In short, it loops over the elements of an iterable (like a list), as well as an index number, combined in a tuple:

for item in enumerate(["a", "b", "c"]):
    print item

prints

(0, "a")
(1, "b")
(2, "c")

It's helpful if you want to loop over a sequence (or other iterable thing), and also want to have an index counter available. If you want the counter to start from some other value (usually 1), you can give that as second argument to enumerate.

How to convert Nonetype to int or string?

In one of the comments, you say:

Somehow I got an Nonetype value, it supposed to be an int, but it's now a Nonetype object

If it's your code, figure out how you're getting None when you expect a number and stop that from happening.

If it's someone else's code, find out the conditions under which it gives None and determine a sensible value to use for that, with the usual conditional code:

result = could_return_none(x)

if result is None:
    result = DEFAULT_VALUE

...or even...

if x == THING_THAT_RESULTS_IN_NONE:
    result = DEFAULT_VALUE
else:
    result = could_return_none(x) # But it won't return None, because we've restricted the domain.

There's no reason to automatically use 0 here — solutions that depend on the "false"-ness of None assume you will want this. The DEFAULT_VALUE (if it even exists) completely depends on your code's purpose.

Add or change a value of JSON key with jquery or javascript

var temp = data.oldKey; // or data['oldKey']
data.newKey = temp;
delete data.oldKey;

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

I needed to achieve the same results, but using something more generic (as the type was not known). Thanks to marc's answer I finally figured out what I was trying to achieve:

    public static LambdaExpression CombineOr(Type sourceType, LambdaExpression exp, LambdaExpression newExp) 
    {
        var parameter = Expression.Parameter(sourceType);

        var leftVisitor = new ReplaceExpressionVisitor(exp.Parameters[0], parameter);
        var left = leftVisitor.Visit(exp.Body);

        var rightVisitor = new ReplaceExpressionVisitor(newExp.Parameters[0], parameter);
        var right = rightVisitor.Visit(newExp.Body);

        var delegateType = typeof(Func<,>).MakeGenericType(sourceType, typeof(bool));
        return Expression.Lambda(delegateType, Expression.Or(left, right), parameter);
    }

"Incorrect string value" when trying to insert UTF-8 into MySQL via JDBC?

However, it is important to note that the mysql connector driver version must be older than 5.1.47 and later.

Setting values on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

This warning comes because your dataframe x is a copy of a slice. This is not easy to know why, but it has something to do with how you have come to the current state of it.

You can either create a proper dataframe out of x by doing

x = x.copy()

This will remove the warning, but it is not the proper way

You should be using the DataFrame.loc method, as the warning suggests, like this:

x.loc[:,'Mass32s'] = pandas.rolling_mean(x.Mass32, 5).shift(-2)

How do I check out a specific version of a submodule using 'git submodule'?

Submodule repositories stay in a detached HEAD state pointing to a specific commit. Changing that commit simply involves checking out a different tag or commit then adding the change to the parent repository.

$ cd submodule
$ git checkout v2.0
Previous HEAD position was 5c1277e... bumped version to 2.0.5
HEAD is now at f0a0036... version 2.0

git-status on the parent repository will now report a dirty tree:

# On branch dev [...]
#
#   modified:   submodule (new commits)

Add the submodule directory and commit to store the new pointer.

Function stoi not declared

How to show imageView full screen on imageView click?

It's easy to achieve this is to just use an Intent like this: (I put the method in a custom class that takes in an Activity as a parameter so it can be called from any Fragment or Activity)

    public class UIutils {

private Activity mActivity;

    public UIutils(Activity activity){
        mActivity = activity;
    }

public void showPhoto(Uri photoUri){
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.setDataAndType(photoUri, "image/*");
        mActivity.startActivity(intent);
    }
}

Then to use it just do this:

imageView.setOnClickListener(v1 -> new UIutils(getActivity()).showPhoto(Uri.parse(imageURI)));

I use this with an Image URL but it can be used with stored files as well. If you are accessing images form the phones memory you should use a content provider.

How to start and stop android service from a adb shell?

Responding to pzulw's feedback to sandroid about specifying the intent.

The format of the component name is described in the api docs for ComponentName.unflattenFromString

It splits the string at the first '/', taking the part before as the package name and the part after as the class name. As a special convenience (to use, for example, when parsing component names on the command line), if the '/' is immediately followed by a '.' then the final class name will be the concatenation of the package name with the string following the '/'. Thus "com.foo/.Blah" becomes package="com.foo" class="com.foo.Blah".

and you can do the maths based on string length to determine 'endswith'.

if(str.lastIndexOf('Hello') == str.length - 'Hello'.length) {

How to allow http content within an iframe on a https site

You could try scraping whatever you need with PHP or another server side language, then put the iframe to the scraped content. Here's an example with PHP:

<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
echo $homepage;
?>

index.html:

<iframe src="scrapedcontent.php"></iframe>

UIView Infinite 360 degree rotation animation?

Swift :

        rotationAnimation.keyPath="transform.rotation.z"

        let toValue = M_PI * 2.0 * rotations ;


        // passing it a float
        let someInterval = CFTimeInterval(duration)

        rotationAnimation.toValue=toValue;
        rotationAnimation.duration=someInterval;
        rotationAnimation.cumulative=true;
        rotationAnimation.repeatCount=repeatt;
        view.layer.addAnimation(rotationAnimation, forKey: "rotationAnimation")


    }

How do I force my .NET application to run as administrator?

As per

<requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />

you will want to add an application manifest if you don't already have one or don't know how to add one. As some projects don't automatically add a separate manifest file, first go to project properties, navigate to the Application tab and check to make sure your project is not excluding the manifest at the bottom of the tap.

Next, right click project
Add new Item
Last, find and click Application Manifest File

How do I catch an Ajax query post error?

you attach the .onerror handler to the ajax object, why people insist on posting JQuery for responses when vanila works cross platform...

quickie example:

ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.open( "POST", "/url/to/handler.php", true );
ajax.onerror = function(){
    alert("Oops! Something went wrong...");
}
ajax.send(someWebFormToken );

PHP and MySQL Select a Single Value

mysql_* extension has been deprecated in 2013 and removed completely from PHP in 2018. You have two alternatives PDO or MySQLi.

PDO

The simpler option is PDO which has a neat helper function fetchColumn():

$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT id FROM Users WHERE username=?");
$stmt->execute([ $_GET["username"] ]);
$value = $stmt->fetchColumn();

Proper PDO tutorial

MySQLi

You can do the same with MySQLi, but it is more complicated:

$stmt = $mysqliConn->prepare('SELECT id FROM Users WHERE username=?');
$stmt->bind_param("s", $_GET["username"]);
$stmt->execute();
$data = $stmt->get_result()->fetch_assoc();
$value = $data ? $data['id'] : null;

fetch_assoc() could return NULL if there are no rows returned from the DB, which is why I check with ternary if there was any data returned.

Creating a batch file, for simple javac and java command execution

you want these four lines of code in your Run.bat:

@echo off          //this makes it so you have an empty cmd window on startup
javac Main.java    //this compiles the .java into a .class
java Main          // this runs the .class file
pause              //this prevents the window from instantly closing after program end

What are WSDL, SOAP and REST?

A WSDL document describes a webservice. It specifies the location of the service and the methods of the service using these major elements: data types using in webservice data elements for each operation describe the operations that can be performed and the messages envolved

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a messaging protocol that allows programs that run on disparate operating systems to communicate using http and xml.

Resize image in the wiki of GitHub using Markdown

On GitHub, you can use HTML directly instead of Markdown:

<a href="url"><img src="http://url.to/image.png" align="left" height="48" width="48" ></a>

This should make it.

TypeScript static classes

Defining static properties and methods of a class is described in 8.2.1 of the Typescript Language Specification:

class Point { 
  constructor(public x: number, public y: number) { 
    throw new Error('cannot instantiate using a static class');
  } 
  public distance(p: Point) { 
    var dx = this.x - p.x; 
    var dy = this.y - p.y; 
    return Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); 
  } 
  static origin = new Point(0, 0); 
  static distance(p1: Point, p2: Point) { 
    return p1.distance(p2); 
  } 
}

where Point.distance() is a static (or "class") method.

Is there a way to get a list of column names in sqlite?

An alternative to the cursor.description solution from smallredstone could be to use row.keys():

import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect('~/foo.sqlite')
connection.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
cursor = connection.execute('select * from bar')
# instead of cursor.description:
row = cursor.fetchone()
names = row.keys()

The drawback: it only works if there is at least a row returned from the query.

The benefit: you can access the columns by their name (row['your_column_name'])

Read more about the Row objects in the python documentation.

How to Merge Two Eloquent Collections?

Merge two different eloquent collections into one and some objects happen to have the same id, one will overwrite the other. Use push() method instead or rethink your approach to the problem to avoid that. Refer to web

get dictionary key by value

Values not necessarily have to be unique so you have to do a lookup. You can do something like this:

var myKey = types.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == "one").Key;

If values are unique and are inserted less frequently than read, then create an inverse dictionary where values are keys and keys are values.

Spring Boot and how to configure connection details to MongoDB?

In a maven project create a file src/main/resources/application.yml with the following content:

spring.profiles: integration
# use local or embedded mongodb at localhost:27017
---
spring.profiles: production
spring.data.mongodb.uri: mongodb://<user>:<passwd>@<host>:<port>/<dbname>

Spring Boot will automatically use this file to configure your application. Then you can start your spring boot application either with the integration profile (and use your local MongoDB)

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=integration your-app.jar

or with the production profile (and use your production MongoDB)

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=production your-app.jar

Accessing all items in the JToken

In addition to the accepted answer I would like to give an answer that shows how to iterate directly over the Newtonsoft collections. It uses less code and I'm guessing its more efficient as it doesn't involve converting the collections.

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
//Parse the data
JObject my_obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(your_json);

foreach (KeyValuePair<string, JToken> sub_obj in (JObject)my_obj["ADDRESS_MAP"])
{
    Console.WriteLine(sub_obj.Key);
}

I started doing this myself because JsonConvert automatically deserializes nested objects as JToken (which are JObject, JValue, or JArray underneath I think).

I think the parsing works according to the following principles:

Every object is abstracted as a JToken
Cast to JObject where you expect a Dictionary
Cast to JValue if the JToken represents a terminal node and is a value
Cast to JArray if its an array
JValue.Value gives you the .NET type you need

C++ calling base class constructors

The default class constructor is called unless you explicitly call another constructor in the derived class. the language specifies this.

Rectangle(int h,int w):
   Shape(h,w)
  {...}

Will call the other base class constructor.

MVC Redirect to View from jQuery with parameters

If your click handler is successfully called then this should work:

$('#results').on('click', '.item', function () {
            var NestId = $(this).data('id');
            var url = "/Artists/Details?NestId=" + NestId; 
            window.location.href = url; 
        })

EDIT: In this particular case given that the action method parameter is a string which is nullable, then if NestId == null, won't cause any exception at all, given that the ModelBinder won't complain about it.

Check if input is integer type in C

There are several problems with using scanf with the %d conversion specifier to do this:

If the input string starts with a valid integer (such as "12abc"), then the "12" will be read from the input stream and converted and assigned to num, and scanf will return 1, so you'll indicate success when you (probably) shouldn't;
If the input string doesn't start with a digit, then scanf will not read any characters from the input stream, num will not be changed, and the return value will be 0;
You don't specify if you need to handle non-decimal formats, but this won't work if you have to handle integer values in octal or hexadecimal formats (0x1a). The %i conversion specifier handles decimal, octal, and hexadecimal formats, but you still have the first two problems.

First of all, you'll need to read the input as a string (preferably using fgets). If you aren't allowed to use atoi, you probably aren't allowed to use strtol either. So you'll need to examine each character in the string. The safe way to check for digit values is to use the isdigit library function (there are also the isodigit and isxdigit functions for checking octal and hexadecimal digits, respectively), such as

while (*input && isdigit(*input))
   input++;

(if you're not even allowed to use isdigit, isodigit, or isxdigit, then slap your teacher/professor for making the assignment harder than it really needs to be).

If you need to be able to handle octal or hex formats, then it gets a little more complicated. The C convention is for octal formats to have a leading 0 digit and for hex formats to have a leading 0x. So, if the first non-whitespace character is a 0, you have to check the next character before you can know which non-decimal format to use.

The basic outline is

If the first non-whitespace character is not a '-', '+', '0', or non-zero decimal digit, then this is not a valid integer string;
If the first non-whitespace character is '-', then this is a negative value, otherwise we assume a positive value;
If the first character is '+', then this is a positive value;
If the first non-whitespace and non-sign character is a non-zero decimal digit, then the input is in decimal format, and you will use isdigit to check the remaining characters;
If the first non-whitespace and non-sign character is a '0', then the input is in either octal or hexadecimal format;
If the first non-whitespace and non-sign character was a '0' and the next character is a digit from '0' to '7', then the input is in octal format, and you will use isodigit to check the remaining characters;
If the first non-whitespace and non-sign character was a 0 and the second character is x or X, then the input is in hexadecimal format and you will use isxdigit to check the remaining characters;
If any of the remaining characters do not satisfy the check function specified above, then this is not a valid integer string.

Overflow:hidden dots at the end

You can use text-overflow: ellipsis; which according to caniuse is supported by all the major browsers.

Here's a demo on jsbin.

_x000D_

.cut-text { 
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden; 
  width: 160px; 
  height: 1.2em; 
  white-space: nowrap;
}

How to sign in kubernetes dashboard?

If you don't want to grant admin permission to dashboard service account, you can create cluster admin service account.

$ kubectl create serviceaccount cluster-admin-dashboard-sa
$ kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-dashboard-sa \
  --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
  --serviceaccount=default:cluster-admin-dashboard-sa

And then, you can use the token of just created cluster admin service account.

$ kubectl get secret | grep cluster-admin-dashboard-sa
cluster-admin-dashboard-sa-token-6xm8l   kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3         18m
$ kubectl describe secret cluster-admin-dashboard-sa-token-6xm8l

I quoted it from giantswarm guide - https://docs.giantswarm.io/guides/install-kubernetes-dashboard/

Difference between jQuery .hide() and .css("display", "none")

Yes there is a difference in the performance of both: jQuery('#id').show() is slower than jQuery('#id').css("display","block") as in former case extra work is to be done for retrieving the initial state from the jquery cache as display is not a binary attribute it can be inline,block,none,table, etc. similar is the case with hide() method.

How to "inverse match" with regex?

Updated with feedback from Alan Moore

In PCRE and similar variants, you can actually create a regex that matches any line not containing a value:

^(?:(?!Andrea).)*$

This is called a tempered greedy token. The downside is that it doesn't perform well.

Parsing JSON with Unix tools

here's one way you can do it with awk

curl -sL 'http://twitter.com/users/username.json' | awk -F"," -v k="text" '{
    gsub(/{|}/,"")
    for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){
        if ( $i ~ k ){
            print $i
        }
    }
}'

Passing base64 encoded strings in URL

In theory, yes, as long as you don't exceed the maximum url and/oor query string length for the client or server.

In practice, things can get a bit trickier. For example, it can trigger an HttpRequestValidationException on ASP.NET if the value happens to contain an "on" and you leave in the trailing "==".

Barcode scanner for mobile phone for Website in form

Check out https://github.com/serratus/quaggaJS

"QuaggaJS is a barcode-scanner entirely written in JavaScript supporting real- time localization and decoding of various types of barcodes such as EAN, CODE 128, CODE 39, EAN 8, UPC-A, UPC-C, I2of5, 2of5, CODE 93 and CODABAR. The library is also capable of using getUserMedia to get direct access to the user's camera stream. Although the code relies on heavy image-processing even recent smartphones are capable of locating and decoding barcodes in real-time."

Sort ArrayList of custom Objects by property

You could also use Springs PropertyComparator if you have just a String property path to the (nested) property you want to sort:

List<SomeObject> list = ...;
PropertyComparator<HitWithInfo> propertyComparator = new PropertyComparator<>(
    "property.nested.myProperty", false, true);
list.sort(propertyComparator);

The drawback is, that this comparator silently ignores properties which does not exist or are not accessible and handles this as null value for comparison. This means, you should carefully test such a comparator or validate the existence of the property path somehow.

What's the proper way to "go get" a private repository?

That looks like the GitLab issue 5769.

In GitLab, since the repositories always end in .git, I must specify .git at the end of the repository name to make it work, for example:
import "example.org/myuser/mygorepo.git"
And:
$ go get example.org/myuser/mygorepo.git
Looks like GitHub solves this by appending ".git".

It is supposed to be resolved in “Added support for Go's repository retrieval. #5958”, provided the right meta tags are in place.
Although there is still an issue for Go itself: “cmd/go: go get cannot discover meta tag in HTML5 documents”.

C#: calling a button event handler method without actually clicking the button

How do you use subprocess.check_output() in Python?

The right answer (using Python 2.7 and later, since check_output() was introduced then) is:

py2output = subprocess.check_output(['python','py2.py','-i', 'test.txt'])

To demonstrate, here are my two programs:

py2.py:

import sys
print sys.argv

py3.py:

import subprocess
py2output = subprocess.check_output(['python', 'py2.py', '-i', 'test.txt'])
print('py2 said:', py2output)

Running it:

$ python3 py3.py
py2 said: b"['py2.py', '-i', 'test.txt']\n"

Here's what's wrong with each of your versions:

py2output = subprocess.check_output([str('python py2.py '),'-i', 'test.txt'])

First, str('python py2.py') is exactly the same thing as 'python py2.py'—you're taking a str, and calling str to convert it to an str. This makes the code harder to read, longer, and even slower, without adding any benefit.

More seriously, python py2.py can't be a single argument, unless you're actually trying to run a program named, say, /usr/bin/python\ py2.py. Which you're not; you're trying to run, say, /usr/bin/python with first argument py2.py. So, you need to make them separate elements in the list.

Your second version fixes that, but you're missing the ' before test.txt'. This should give you a SyntaxError, probably saying EOL while scanning string literal.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure how you found documentation but couldn't find any examples with arguments. The very first example is:

>>> subprocess.check_output(["echo", "Hello World!"])
b'Hello World!\n'

That calls the "echo" command with an additional argument, "Hello World!".

Also:

-i is a positional argument for argparse, test.txt is what the -i is

I'm pretty sure -i is not a positional argument, but an optional argument. Otherwise, the second half of the sentence makes no sense.

Difference between ProcessBuilder and Runtime.exec()

Yes there is a difference.

The Runtime.exec(String) method takes a single command string that it splits into a command and a sequence of arguments.
The ProcessBuilder constructor takes a (varargs) array of strings. The first string is the command name and the rest of them are the arguments. (There is an alternative constructor that takes a list of strings, but none that takes a single string consisting of the command and arguments.)

So what you are telling ProcessBuilder to do is to execute a "command" whose name has spaces and other junk in it. Of course, the operating system can't find a command with that name, and the command execution fails.

What's a simple way to get a text input popup dialog box on an iPhone

Tested out Warkst's third code snippet--worked great, except I changed it to be default input type instead of numeric:

UIAlertView * alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hello!" message:@"Please enter your name:" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Continue" otherButtonTitles:nil];
alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput;
UITextField * alertTextField = [alert textFieldAtIndex:0];
alertTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault;
alertTextField.placeholder = @"Enter your name";
[alert show];

I want my android application to be only run in portrait mode?

Old post I know. In order to run your app always in portrait mode even when orientation may be or is swapped etc (for example on tablets) I designed this function that is used to set the device in the right orientation without the need to know how the portrait and landscape features are organised on the device.

   private void initActivityScreenOrientPortrait()
    {
        // Avoid screen rotations (use the manifests android:screenOrientation setting)
        // Set this to nosensor or potrait

        // Set window fullscreen
        this.activity.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

        DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        this.activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

         // Test if it is VISUAL in portrait mode by simply checking it's size
        boolean bIsVisualPortrait = ( metrics.heightPixels >= metrics.widthPixels ); 

        if( !bIsVisualPortrait )
        { 
            // Swap the orientation to match the VISUAL portrait mode
            if( this.activity.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT )
             { this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); }
            else { this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ); }
        }
        else { this.activity.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR); }

    }

Works like a charm!

NOTICE: Change this.activity by your activity or add it to the main activity and remove this.activity ;-)

CURL Command Line URL Parameters

The application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-type header is not needed. Unless the request handler expects the parameters coming from request body. Try it out:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/locations?id=3"

Restoring Nuget References?

Just in case it helps someone - In my scenario, I have some shared libraries (Which have their own TFS projects/solutions) all combined into one solution.

Nuget would restore projects successfully, but the DLL would be missing.

The underlying issue was that, whilst your solution has its own packages folder and has restored them correctly to that folder, the project file (e.g. .csproj) is referencing a different project which may not have the package downloaded. Open the file in a text editor to see where your references are coming from.

This can occur when managing packages on different interlinked shared solutions - since you probably want to make sure all DLLs are on the same level you might set this at the top level. This means it that sometimes it will be looking in a completely different solution for a referenced DLL and so if you don't have all projects/solutions downloaded and up-to-date then you may get the above problem.

PHP - define constant inside a class

This is and old question, but now on PHP 7.1 you can define constant visibility.

EXAMPLE

<?php
class Foo {
    // As of PHP 7.1.0
    public const BAR = 'bar';
    private const BAZ = 'baz';
}
echo Foo::BAR . PHP_EOL;
echo Foo::BAZ . PHP_EOL;
?>

Output of the above example in PHP 7.1:

bar

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot access private const Foo::BAZ in …

Note: As of PHP 7.1.0 visibility modifiers are allowed for class constants.

Join two sql queries

Some DBMSs support the FROM (SELECT ...) AS alias_name syntax.

Think of your two original queries as temporary tables. You can query them like so:

SELECT t1.Activity, t1."Total Amount 2009", t2."Total Amount 2008"
FROM (query1) as t1, (query2) as t2
WHERE t1.Activity = t2.Activity

Onclick on bootstrap button

How to get directory size in PHP

There are several things you could do to optimise the script - but maximum success would make it IO-bound rather than CPU-bound:

Calculate rtrim($path, '/') outside the loop.
make if ($t<>"." && $t<>"..") the outer test - it doesn't need to stat the path
Calculate rtrim($path, '/') . '/' . $t once per loop - inside 2) and taking 1) into account.
Calculate explode(' ','B KB MB GB TB PB'); once rather than each call?

How to check if all list items have the same value and return it, or return an “otherValue” if they don’t?

var val = yyy.First().Value;
return yyy.All(x=>x.Value == val) ? val : otherValue;

Cleanest way I can think of. You can make it a one-liner by inlining val, but First() would be evaluated n times, doubling execution time.

To incorporate the "empty set" behavior specified in the comments, you simply add one more line before the two above:

if(yyy == null || !yyy.Any()) return otherValue;

Echo off but messages are displayed

For me this issue was caused by the file encoding format being wrong. I used another editor and it was saved as UTF-8-BOM so the very first line I had was @echo off but there was a hidden character in the front of it.

So I changed the encoding to plain old ANSI text, and then the issue went away.

What does "Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead" mean?

Best option is create new table with same properties

CREATE TABLE <NEW.NAME.TABLE> LIKE <TABLE.CRASHED>;
INSERT INTO <NEW.NAME.TABLE> SELECT * FROM <TABLE.CRASHED>;

Rename NEW.NAME.TABLE and TABLE.CRASH

RENAME TABLE <TABLE.CRASHED> TO <TABLE.CRASHED.BACKUP>;
RENAME TABLE <NEW.NAME.TABLE> TO <TABLE.CRASHED>;

After work well, delete

DROP TABLE <TABLE.CRASHED.BACKUP>;

Error: Configuration with name 'default' not found in Android Studio

If you want to use the same library folder for several projects, you can reference it in gradle to an external location like this:

settings.gradle:

include 'app', ':volley'
project(':volley').projectDir = new File('../libraries/volley')

in your app build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':volley')
...}

How do I clone a subdirectory only of a Git repository?

Just to clarify some of the great answers here, the steps outlined in many of the answers assume that you already have a remote repository somewhere.

Given: an existing git repository, e.g. [email protected]:some-user/full-repo.git, with one or more directories that you wish to pull independently of the rest of the repo, e.g. directories named app1 and app2

Assuming you have a git repository as the above...

Then: you can run steps like the following to pull only specific directories from that larger repo:

mkdir app1
cd app1
git init
git remote add origin [email protected]:some-user/full-repo.git
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo "app1/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull origin master

I had mistakenly thought that the sparse-checkout options had to be set on the original repository, but this is not the case: you define which directories you want locally, prior to pulling from the remote. The remote repo doesn't know or care about your only wanting to track a part of the repo.

Hope this clarification helps someone else.

Oracle SQL : timestamps in where clause

to_timestamp()

You need to use to_timestamp() to convert your string to a proper timestamp value:

to_timestamp('12-01-2012 21:24:00', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')

to_date()

If your column is of type DATE (which also supports seconds), you need to use to_date()

to_date('12-01-2012 21:24:00', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')

Example

To get this into a where condition use the following:

select * 
from TableA 
where startdate >= to_timestamp('12-01-2012 21:24:00', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
  and startdate <= to_timestamp('12-01-2012 21:25:33', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')

Note

You never need to use to_timestamp() on a column that is of type timestamp.

Are there dictionaries in php?

No, there are no dictionaries in php. The closest thing you have is an array. However, an array is different than a dictionary in that arrays have both an index and a key. Dictionaries only have keys and no index. What do I mean by that?

$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo"
);

// as of PHP 5.4
$array = [
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo",
];

The following line is allowed with the above array but would give an error if it was a dictionary.

print $array[0]

Python has both arrays and dictionaries.

How do you round a floating point number in Perl?

If you decide to use printf or sprintf, note that they use the Round half to even method.

foreach my $i ( 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 ) {
    printf "$i -> %.0f\n", $i;
}
__END__
0.5 -> 0
1.5 -> 2
2.5 -> 2
3.5 -> 4
