How do I do word Stemming or Lemmatization?

Look into WordNet, a large lexical database for the English language:

http://wordnet.princeton.edu/

There are APIs for accessing it in several languages.

Why does GitHub recommend HTTPS over SSH?

Also see: the official Which remote URL should I use? answer on help.github.com.

EDIT:

It seems that it's no longer necessary to have write access to a public repo to use an SSH URL, rendering my original explanation invalid.

ORIGINAL:

Apparently the main reason for favoring HTTPS URLs is that SSH URL's won't work with a public repo if you don't have write access to that repo.

The use of SSH URLs is encouraged for deployment to production servers, however - presumably the context here is services like Heroku.

Visual Studio replace tab with 4 spaces?

If you don't see the formatting option, you can do Tools->Import and Export settings to import the missing one.

Multiple lines of text in UILabel

I found a solution.

One just has to add the following code:

// Swift
textLabel.lineBreakMode = .ByWordWrapping // or NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
textLabel.numberOfLines = 0 

// For Swift >= 3
textLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping // notice the 'b' instead of 'B'
textLabel.numberOfLines = 0

// Objective-C
textLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

// C# (Xamarin.iOS)
textLabel.LineBreakMode = UILineBreakMode.WordWrap;
textLabel.Lines = 0;  

Restored old answer (for reference and devs willing to support iOS below 6.0):

textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

On the side: both enum values yield to 0 anyway.

How to retrieve data from sqlite database in android and display it in TextView

You are using getData() method as void.

You can not return values from void.

You can use:

EQU - equal

NEQ - not equal

LSS - less than

LEQ - less than or equal

GTR - greater than

GEQ - greater than or equal

AVOID USING:

How to pass variable number of arguments to a PHP function

An old question, I know, however, none of the answers here really do a good job of simply answer the question.

I just played around with php and the solution looks like this:

function myFunction($requiredArgument, $optionalArgument = "default"){
   echo $requiredArgument . $optionalArgument;
}

This function can do two things:

If its called with only the required parameter: myFunction("Hi") It will print "Hi default"

But if it is called with the optional parameter: myFunction("Hi","me") It will print "Hi me";

I hope this helps anyone who is looking for this down the road.

Sort an array of objects in React and render them

this.state.data.sort((a, b) => a.item.timeM > b.item.timeM).map(
    (item, i) => <div key={i}> {item.matchID} {item.timeM} {item.description}</div>
)

How to make a <ul> display in a horizontal row

You could also set them to float to the right.

#ul_top_hypers li {
    float: right;
}

This allows them to still be block level, but will appear on the same line.

How to dynamically create columns in datatable and assign values to it?

What have you tried, what was the problem?

Creating DataColumns and add values to a DataTable is straight forward:

Dim dt = New DataTable()
Dim dcID = New DataColumn("ID", GetType(Int32))
Dim dcName = New DataColumn("Name", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add(dcID)
dt.Columns.Add(dcName)
For i = 1 To 1000
    dt.Rows.Add(i, "Row #" & i)
Next

Edit:

If you want to read a xml file and load a DataTable from it, you can use DataTable.ReadXml.

How to find topmost view controller on iOS

you could find the top most view controller by using

NSArray *arrViewControllers=[[self navigationController] viewControllers];
UIViewController *topMostViewController=(UIViewController *)[arrViewControllers objectAtIndex:[arrViewControllers count]-1];

Can I delete data from the iOS DeviceSupport directory?

Yes, you can delete data from iOS device support by the symbols of the operating system, one for each version for each architecture. It's used for debugging. If you don't need to support those devices any more, you can delete the directory without ill effect

Label python data points on plot

How about print (x, y) at once.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

A = -0.75, -0.25, 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0
B = 0.73, 0.97, 1.0, 0.97, 0.88, 0.73, 0.54

plt.plot(A,B)
for xy in zip(A, B):                                       # <--
    ax.annotate('(%s, %s)' % xy, xy=xy, textcoords='data') # <--

plt.grid()
plt.show()

Are there such things as variables within an Excel formula?

I know it's a little off-topic, but following up with the solution presented by Jonas Bøhmer, actually I think that MOD is the best solution to your example.

If your intention was to limit the result to one digit, MOD is the best approach to achieve it.

ie. Let's suppose that VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) returns 23. Your IF formula would simply make this calculation: 23 - 10 and return 13 as the result.

On the other hand, MOD(VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0), 10) would divide 23 by 10 and show the remainder: 3.

Back to the main topic, when I need to use a formula that repeats some part, I usually put it on another cell and then hide it as some people already suggested.

How do I collapse a table row in Bootstrap?

Which version of Bootstrap are you using? I was perplexed that I could get @Chad's solution to work in jsfiddle, but not locally. So, I checked the version of Bootstrap used by jsfiddle, and it's using a 3.0.0-rc1 release, while the default download on getbootstrap.com is version 2.3.2.

In 2.3.2 the collapse class wasn't getting replaced by the in class. The in class was simply getting appended when the button was clicked. In version 3.0.0-rc1, the collapse class correctly is removed, and the <tr> collapses.

Use @Chad's solution for the html, and try using these links for referencing Bootstrap:

<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0-rc1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0-rc1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Calling a function every 60 seconds

In jQuery you can do like this.

           _x000D_
window.setInterval(function(){_x000D_
       /// call your function here_x000D_
      random_no();_x000D_
}, 6000);  // Change Interval here to test. For eg: 5000 for 5 sec
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_

                position: "right", // Position may be 'right' or 'left'

            };
            var proto = document.location.protocol, host = "whatshelp.io", url = proto + "//static." + host;
            var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = url + '/widget-send-button/js/init.js';
            s.onload = function () { WhWidgetSendButton.init(host, proto, options); };

What is setup.py?

setup.py is a Python file like any other. It can take any name, except by convention it is named setup.py so that there is not a different procedure with each script.

Most frequently setup.py is used to install a Python module but server other purposes:

Modules:

Perhaps this is most famous usage of setup.py is in modules. Although they can be installed using pip, old Python versions did not include pip by default and they needed to be installed separately.

If you wanted to install a module but did not want to install pip, just about the only alternative was to install the module from setup.py file. This could be achieved via python setup.py install. This would install the Python module to the root dictionary (without pip, easy_install ect).

This method is often used when pip will fail. For example if the correct Python version of the desired package is not available via pipperhaps because it is no longer maintained, , downloading the source and running python setup.py install would perform the same thing, except in the case of compiled binaries are required, (but will disregard the Python version -unless an error is returned).

Another use of setup.py is to install a package from source. If a module is still under development the wheel files will not be available and the only way to install is to install from the source directly.

Building Python extensions:

When a module has been built it can be converted into module ready for distribution using a distutils setup script. Once built these can be installed using the command above.

A setup script is easy to build and once the file has been properly configured and can be compiled by running python setup.py build (see link for all commands).

Once again it is named setup.py for ease of use and by convention, but can take any name.

Cython:

Another famous use of setup.py files include compiled extensions. These require a setup script with user defined values. They allow fast (but once compiled are platform dependant) execution. Here is a simple example from the documentation:

from distutils.core import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize

setup(
    name = 'Hello world app',
    ext_modules = cythonize("hello.pyx"),
)

This can be compiled via python setup.py build

Cx_Freeze:

Another module requiring a setup script is cx_Freeze. This converts Python script to executables. This allows many commands such as descriptions, names, icons, packages to include, exclude ect and once run will produce a distributable application. An example from the documentation:

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"], "excludes": ["tkinter"]} 

base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

setup(  name = "guifoo",
        version = "0.1",
        description = "My GUI application!",
        options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
        executables = [Executable("guifoo.py", base=base)])

This can be compiled via python setup.py build.

So what is a setup.py file?

Quite simply it is a script that builds or configures something in the Python environment.

A package when distributed should contain only one setup script but it is not uncommon to combine several together into a single setup script. Notice this often involves distutils but not always (as I showed in my last example). The thing to remember it just configures Python package/script in some way.

It takes the name so the same command can always be used when building or installing.

process.waitFor() never returns

You should try consume output and error in the same while

    private void runCMD(String CMD) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    System.out.println("Standard output: " + CMD);
    Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(CMD);

    // Get input streams
    BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
    BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
    String line = "";
    String newLineCharacter = System.getProperty("line.separator");

    boolean isOutReady = false;
    boolean isErrorReady = false;
    boolean isProcessAlive = false;

    boolean isErrorOut = true;
    boolean isErrorError = true;


    System.out.println("Read command ");
    while (process.isAlive()) {
        //Read the stdOut

        do {
            isOutReady = stdInput.ready();
            //System.out.println("OUT READY " + isOutReady);
            isErrorOut = true;
            isErrorError = true;

            if (isOutReady) {
                line = stdInput.readLine();
                isErrorOut = false;
                System.out.println("=====================================================================================" + line + newLineCharacter);
            }
            isErrorReady = stdError.ready();
            //System.out.println("ERROR READY " + isErrorReady);
            if (isErrorReady) {
                line = stdError.readLine();
                isErrorError = false;
                System.out.println("ERROR::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::" + line + newLineCharacter);

            }
            isProcessAlive = process.isAlive();
            //System.out.println("Process Alive " + isProcessAlive);
            if (!isProcessAlive) {
                System.out.println(":::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Process DIE " + line + newLineCharacter);
                line = null;
                isErrorError = false;
                process.waitFor(1000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
            }

        } while (line != null);

        //Nothing else to read, lets pause for a bit before trying again
        System.out.println("PROCESS WAIT FOR");
        process.waitFor(100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }
    System.out.println("Command finished");
}

initializing a Guava ImmutableMap

Notice that your error message only contains five K, V pairs, 10 arguments total. This is by design; the ImmutableMap class provides six different of() methods, accepting between zero and five key-value pairings. There is not an of(...) overload accepting a varags parameter because K and V can be different types.

You want an ImmutableMap.Builder:

ImmutableMap<String,String> myMap = ImmutableMap.<String, String>builder()
    .put("key1", "value1") 
    .put("key2", "value2") 
    .put("key3", "value3") 
    .put("key4", "value4") 
    .put("key5", "value5") 
    .put("key6", "value6") 
    .put("key7", "value7") 
    .put("key8", "value8") 
    .put("key9", "value9")
    .build();

Sending GET request with Authentication headers using restTemplate

All of these answers appear to be incomplete and/or kludges. Looking at the RestTemplate interface, it sure looks like it is intended to have a ClientHttpRequestFactory injected into it, and then that requestFactory will be used to create the request, including any customizations of headers, body, and request params.

You either need a universal ClientHttpRequestFactory to inject into a single shared RestTemplate or else you need to get a new template instance via new RestTemplate(myHttpRequestFactory).

Unfortunately, it looks somewhat non-trivial to create such a factory, even when you just want to set a single Authorization header, which is pretty frustrating considering what a common requirement that likely is, but at least it allows easy use if, for example, your Authorization header can be created from data contained in a Spring-Security Authorization object, then you can create a factory that sets the outgoing AuthorizationHeader on every request by doing SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthorization() and then populating the header, with null checks as appropriate. Now all outbound rest calls made with that RestTemplate will have the correct Authorization header.

Without more emphasis placed on the HttpClientFactory mechanism, providing simple-to-overload base classes for common cases like adding a single header to requests, most of the nice convenience methods of RestTemplate end up being a waste of time, since they can only rarely be used.

I'd like to see something simple like this made available

@Configuration
public class MyConfig {
  @Bean
  public RestTemplate getRestTemplate() {
    return new RestTemplate(new AbstractHeaderRewritingHttpClientFactory() {
        @Override
        public HttpHeaders modifyHeaders(HttpHeaders headers) {
          headers.addHeader("Authorization", computeAuthString());
          return headers;
        }
        public String computeAuthString() {
          // do something better than this, but you get the idea
          return SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthorization().getCredential();
        }
    });
  }
}

At the moment, the interface of the available ClientHttpRequestFactory's are harder to interact with than that. Even better would be an abstract wrapper for existing factory implementations which makes them look like a simpler object like AbstractHeaderRewritingRequestFactory for the purposes of replacing just that one piece of functionality. Right now, they are very general purpose such that even writing those wrappers is a complex piece of research.

python pip - install from local dir

You were looking for help on installations with pip. You can find it with the following command:

pip install --help

Running pip install -e /path/to/package installs the package in a way, that you can edit the package, and when a new import call looks for it, it will import the edited package code. This can be very useful for package development.

Fastest method of screen capturing on Windows

For C++ you can use: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/gdi32/BitBlt.html
This may hower not work on all types of 3D applications/video apps. Then this link may be more useful as it describes 3 different methods you can use.

Old answer (C#):
You can use System.Drawing.Graphics.Copy, but it is not very fast.

A sample project I wrote doing exactly this: http://blog.tedd.no/index.php/2010/08/16/c-image-analysis-auto-gaming-with-source/

I'm planning to update this sample using a faster method like Direct3D: http://spazzarama.com/2009/02/07/screencapture-with-direct3d/

And here is a link for capturing to video: How to capture screen to be video using C# .Net?

Go doing a GET request and building the Querystring

Use r.URL.Query() when you appending to existing query, if you are building new set of params use the url.Values struct like so

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET","http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular", nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Print(err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }

    // if you appending to existing query this works fine 
    q := req.URL.Query()
    q.Add("api_key", "key_from_environment_or_flag")
    q.Add("another_thing", "foo & bar")

    // or you can create new url.Values struct and encode that like so
    q := url.Values{}
    q.Add("api_key", "key_from_environment_or_flag")
    q.Add("another_thing", "foo & bar")

    req.URL.RawQuery = q.Encode()

    fmt.Println(req.URL.String())
    // Output:
    // http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popularanother_thing=foo+%26+bar&api_key=key_from_environment_or_flag
}

Efficient way to return a std::vector in c++

If the compiler supports Named Return Value Optimization (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms364057(v=vs.80).aspx), you can directly return the vector provide that there is no:

  1. Different paths returning different named objects
  2. Multiple return paths (even if the same named object is returned on all paths) with EH states introduced.
  3. The named object returned is referenced in an inline asm block.

NRVO optimizes out the redundant copy constructor and destructor calls and thus improves overall performance.

There should be no real diff in your example.

Writing handler for UIAlertAction

You can do it as simple as this using swift 2:

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "iOScreator", message:
        "Hello, world!", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Destructive,handler: { action in
        self.pressed()
}))

func pressed()
{
    print("you pressed")
}

    **or**


let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "iOScreator", message:
        "Hello, world!", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Destructive,handler: { action in
      print("pressed")
 }))

All the answers above are correct i am just showing another way that can be done.

Android - Spacing between CheckBox and text

Use attribute android:drawableLeft instead of android:button. In order to set padding between drawable and text use android:drawablePadding. To position drawable use android:paddingLeft.

<CheckBox
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:button="@null"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/check_selector"
        android:drawablePadding="-50dp"
        android:paddingLeft="40dp"

How to disable clicking inside div

If you want it in pure CSS:

Javascript array declaration: new Array(), new Array(3), ['a', 'b', 'c'] create arrays that behave differently

Arrays have numerical indexes. So,

a = new Array();
a['a1']='foo';
a['a2']='bar';

and

b = new Array(2);
b['b1']='foo';
b['b2']='bar';

are not adding elements to the array, but adding .a1 and .a2 properties to the a object (arrays are objects too). As further evidence, if you did this:

a = new Array();
a['a1']='foo';
a['a2']='bar';
console.log(a.length);   // outputs zero because there are no items in the array

Your third option:

c=['c1','c2','c3'];

is assigning the variable c an array with three elements. Those three elements can be accessed as: c[0], c[1] and c[2]. In other words, c[0] === 'c1' and c.length === 3.

Javascript does not use its array functionality for what other languages call associative arrays where you can use any type of key in the array. You can implement most of the functionality of an associative array by just using an object in javascript where each item is just a property like this.

a = {};
a['a1']='foo';
a['a2']='bar';

It is generally a mistake to use an array for this purpose as it just confuses people reading your code and leads to false assumptions about how the code works.

Execute method on startup in Spring

Attention, this is only advised if your runOnceOnStartup method depends on a fully initialized spring context. For example: you wan to call a dao with transaction demarcation

You can also use a scheduled method with fixedDelay set very high

@Scheduled(fixedDelay = Long.MAX_VALUE)
public void runOnceOnStartup() {
    dosomething();
}

This has the advantage that the whole application is wired up (Transactions, Dao, ...)

seen in Scheduling tasks to run once, using the Spring task namespace

Pure CSS scroll animation

And for webkit enabled browsers I've had good results with:

.myElement {
    -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
    scroll-behavior: smooth; // Added in from answer from Felix
    overflow-x: scroll;
}

This makes scrolling behave much more like the standard browser behavior - at least it works well on the iPhone we were testing on!

Hope that helps,

This solution will work for any version of Android. It has proven to work in 1.5 and 2.2 This is not another "This is for Android 2.0+" solution. I found this through an email message board collection page and cannot find the original link. All credit goes to the original poster.

In your app you would use this by calling:

Bitmap bm = getVideoFrame(VideoStringUri);

Somewhere in it's own function (outside the OnCreate, ect), you would need:

private Bitmap getVideoFrame(String uri) {
        MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
        try {
            retriever.setMode(MediaMetadataRetriever.MODE_CAPTURE_FRAME_ONLY);
            retriever.setDataSource(uri);
            return retriever.captureFrame();
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                retriever.release();
            } catch (RuntimeException ex) {
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

In your src folder, you need a new subdirectory android/media which will house the class (copied from the android source itself) which allows you to use this function. This part should not be changed, renamed, or placed anywhere else. MediaMetadataRetriever.java needs to be under android.media in your source folder for this all to work.

How to show git log history (i.e., all the related commits) for a sub directory of a git repo?

You can use git log with the pathnames of the respective folders:

git log A B

The log will only show commits made in A and B. I usually throw in --stat to make things a little prettier, which helps for quick commit reviews.

Is it possible to import modules from all files in a directory, using a wildcard?

If you are using webpack. This imports files automatically and exports as api namespace.

So no need to update on every file addition.

import camelCase from "lodash-es";
const requireModule = require.context("./", false, /\.js$/); // 
const api = {};

requireModule.keys().forEach(fileName => {
  if (fileName === "./index.js") return;
  const moduleName = camelCase(fileName.replace(/(\.\/|\.js)/g, ""));
  api[moduleName] = {
    ...requireModule(fileName).default
  };
});

export default api;

For Typescript users;

import { camelCase } from "lodash-es"
const requireModule = require.context("./folderName", false, /\.ts$/)

interface LooseObject {
  [key: string]: any
}

const api: LooseObject = {}

requireModule.keys().forEach(fileName => {
  if (fileName === "./index.ts") return
  const moduleName = camelCase(fileName.replace(/(\.\/|\.ts)/g, ""))
  api[moduleName] = {
    ...requireModule(fileName).default,
  }
})

export default api

Convert a Python int into a big-endian string of bytes

Probably the best way is via the built-in struct module:

>>> import struct
>>> x = 1245427
>>> struct.pack('>BH', x >> 16, x & 0xFFFF)
'\x13\x00\xf3'
>>> struct.pack('>L', x)[1:]  # could do it this way too
'\x13\x00\xf3'

Alternatively -- and I wouldn't usually recommend this, because it's mistake-prone -- you can do it "manually" by shifting and the chr() function:

>>> x = 1245427
>>> chr((x >> 16) & 0xFF) + chr((x >> 8) & 0xFF) + chr(x & 0xFF)
'\x13\x00\xf3'

Out of curiosity, why do you only want three bytes? Usually you'd pack such an integer into a full 32 bits (a C unsigned long), and use struct.pack('>L', 1245427) but skip the [1:] step?

Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page

// Pear Mail Library
require_once "Mail.php";

$from = '<[email protected]>';
$to = '<[email protected]>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";

$headers = array(
    'From' => $from,
    'To' => $to,
    'Subject' => $subject
);

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => '465',
        'auth' => true,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'passwordxxx'
    ));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
    echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
    echo('<p>Message successfully sent!</p>');
}

Convert JSON to Map

Underscore-java library can convert json string to hash map. I am the maintainer of the project.

Code example:

import com.github.underscore.lodash.U;
import java.util.*;

public class Main {

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String json = "{"
            + "    \"data\" :"
            + "    {"
            + "        \"field1\" : \"value1\","
            + "        \"field2\" : \"value2\""
            + "    }"
            + "}";

       Map<String, Object> data = (Map) U.get((Map<String, Object>) U.fromJson(json), "data");
       System.out.println(data);

       // {field1=value1, field2=value2}
    }
}

What does "pending" mean for request in Chrome Developer Window?

I had some problems with pending request for mp3 files. I had a list of mp3 files and one player to play them. If I picked a file that had already been downloaded, Chrome would block the request and show "pending request" in the network tab of the developer tools.

All versions of Chrome seem to be affected.

Here is a solution I found:

player[0].setAttribute('src','video.webm?dummy=' + Date.now());

You just add a dummy query string to the end of each url. This forces Chrome to download the file again.

Another example with popcorn player (using jquery) :

url = $(this).find('.url_song').attr('url');
pop = Popcorn.smart( "#player_",  url + '?i=' + Date.now());

This works for me. In fact, the resource is not stored in the cache system. This should also work in the same way for .csv files.

How to make a vertical SeekBar in Android?

  1. For API 11 and later, can use seekbar's XML attributes(android:rotation="270") for vertical effect.

    <SeekBar
    android:id="@+id/seekBar1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:rotation="270"/>
    
  2. For older API level (ex API10), only use Selva's answer:
    https://github.com/AndroSelva/Vertical-SeekBar-Android

Call a "local" function within module.exports from another function in module.exports?

You could declare your functions outside of the module.exports block.

var foo = function (req, res, next) {
  return ('foo');
}

var bar = function (req, res, next) {
  return foo();
}

Then:

module.exports = {
  foo: foo,
  bar: bar
}

Move a view up only when the keyboard covers an input field

I think this clause is wrong:

if (!CGRectContainsPoint(aRect, activeField!.frame.origin))

While the activeField's origin may well be above the keyboard, the maxY might not...

I would create a 'max' point for the activeField and check if that is in the keyboard Rect.

Java List.contains(Object with field value equal to x)

Map

You could create a Hashmap<String, Object> using one of the values as a key, and then seeing if yourHashMap.keySet().contains(yourValue) returns true.

What are the undocumented features and limitations of the Windows FINDSTR command?

The findstr command sets the ErrorLevel (or exit code) to one of the following values, given that there are no invalid or incompatible switches and no search string exceeds the applicable length limit:

  • 0 when at least a single match is encountered in one line throughout all specified files;
  • 1 otherwise;

A line is considered to contain a match when:

  • no /V option is given and the search expression occurs at least once;
  • the /V option is given and the search expression does not occur;

This means that the /V option also changes the returned ErrorLevel, but it does not just revert it!

For example, when you have got a file test.txt with two lines, one of which contains the string text but the other one does not, both findstr "text" "test.txt" and findstr /V "text" "test.txt" return an ErrorLevel of 0.

Basically you can say: if findstr returns at least a line, ErrorLevel is set to 0, else to 1.

Note that the /M option does not affect the ErrorLevel value, it just alters the output.

(Just for the sake of completeness: the find command behaves exactly the same way with respect to the /V option and ErrorLevel; the /C option does not affect ErrorLevel.)

Using margin:auto to vertically-align a div

If you know the height of the div you want to center, you can position it absolutely within its parent and then set the top value to 50%. That will put the top of the child div 50% of the way down its parent, i.e. too low. Pull it back up by setting its margin-top to half its height. So now you have the vertical midpoint of the child div sitting at the vertical midpoint of the parent - vertically centered!

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.black {_x000D_
    position:absolute;_x000D_
    top:0;_x000D_
    bottom:0;_x000D_
    left:0;_x000D_
    right:0;_x000D_
    background:rgba(0,0,0,.5);_x000D_
}_x000D_
.message {_x000D_
    background:yellow;_x000D_
    width:200px;_x000D_
    margin:auto auto;_x000D_
    padding:10px;_x000D_
    position: absolute;_x000D_
    top: 50%;_x000D_
    margin-top: -25px;_x000D_
    height: 50px;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="black">_x000D_
    <div class="message">_x000D_
        This is a popup message._x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Which characters are valid in CSS class names/selectors?

The complete regular expression is:

-?(?:[_a-z]|[\200-\377]|\\[0-9a-f]{1,6}(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\[^\r\n\f0-9a-f])(?:[_a-z0-9-]|[\200-\377]|\\[0-9a-f]{1,6}(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\[^\r\n\f0-9a-f])*

So all of your listed character except “-” and “_” are not allowed if used directly. But you can encode them using a backslash foo\~bar or using the unicode notation foo\7E bar.

SMTP connect() failed PHPmailer - PHP

You are missing the directive that states the connection uses SSL

require ("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn of SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "YAHOO ACCOUNT";  // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "YAHOO ACCOUNT PASSWORD"; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "YAHOO HOST"; // SMTP host
$mail->Port = 465;

Then add in the other parts

$webmaster_email = "[email protected]";       //Reply to this email ID
$email="[email protected]";                // Recipients email ID
$name="My Name";                              // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"My Name");
$mail->WordWrap = 50;                         // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true);                          // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY ";                      //HTML Body 
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body 

if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}

As a side note, I have had trouble using Body + AltBody together although they are supposed to work. As a result, I wrote the following wrapper function which works perfectly.

<?php
require ("class.phpmailer.php");

// Setup Configuration for Mail Server Settings

Compiling a C++ program with gcc

It worked well for me. Just one line code in cmd.

First, confirm that you have installed the gcc (for c) or g++ (for c++) compiler.

In cmd for gcc type:

gcc --version

in cmd for g++ type:

g++ --version

If it is installed then proceed.

Now, compile your .c or .cpp using cmd

for .c syntax:

gcc -o exe_filename yourfilename.c

Example:

gcc -o myfile myfile.c

Here exe_filename (myfile in example) is the name of your .exe file which you want to produce after compilation (Note: i have not put any extension here). And yourfilename.c (myfile.c in example) is the your source file which has the .c extension.

Now go to folder containing your .c file, here you will find a file with .exe extension. Just open it. Hurray..

For .cpp syntax:

g++ -o exe_filename yourfilename.cpp

After it the process is same as for .c .

Disable / Check for Mock Location (prevent gps spoofing)

Since API 18, the object Location has the method .isFromMockProvider() so you can filter out fake locations.

If you want to support versions before 18, it is possible to use something like this:

boolean isMock = false;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 18) {
    isMock = location.isFromMockProvider();
} else {
    isMock = !Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION).equals("0");
}

Using HTML data-attribute to set CSS background-image url

For those who want a dumb down answer like me

Something like how to steps as 1, 2, 3

Here it is what I did

First create the HTML markup

<div class="thumb" data-image-src="images/img.jpg"></div>

Then before your ending body tag, add this script

I included the ending body on the code below as an example

So becareful when you copy

<script>
var list = document.getElementsByClassName('thumb');

for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
  var src = list[i].getAttribute('data-image-src');
  list[i].style.backgroundImage="url('" + src + "')";
}
</script>

</body>

How to declare a type as nullable in TypeScript?

To be more C# like, define the Nullable type like this:

type Nullable<T> = T | null;

interface Employee{
   id: number;
   name: string;
   salary: Nullable<number>;
}

Bonus:

To make Nullable behave like a built in Typescript type, define it in a global.d.ts definition file in the root source folder. This path worked for me: /src/global.d.ts

How do I import a Swift file from another Swift file?

UPDATE Swift 2.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x

Now you don't need to add the public to the methods to test then. On newer versions of Swift it's only necessary to add the @testable keyword.

PrimeNumberModelTests.swift

import XCTest
@testable import MyProject

class PrimeNumberModelTests: XCTestCase {
    let testObject = PrimeNumberModel()
}

And your internal methods can keep Internal

PrimeNumberModel.swift

import Foundation

class PrimeNumberModel {
   init() {
   }
}

Note that private (and fileprivate) symbols are not available even with using @testable.


Swift 1.x

There are two relevant concepts from Swift here (As Xcode 6 beta 6).

  1. You don't need to import Swift classes, but you need to import external modules (targets)
  2. The Default Access Control level in Swift is Internal access

Considering that tests are on another target on PrimeNumberModelTests.swift you need to import the target that contains the class that you want to test, if your target is called MyProject will need to add import MyProject to the PrimeNumberModelTests:

PrimeNumberModelTests.swift

import XCTest
import MyProject

class PrimeNumberModelTests: XCTestCase {
    let testObject = PrimeNumberModel()
}

But this is not enough to test your class PrimeNumberModel, since the default Access Control level is Internal Access, your class won't be visible to the test bundle, so you need to make it Public Access and all the methods that you want to test:

PrimeNumberModel.swift

import Foundation

public class PrimeNumberModel {
   public init() {
   }
}

[INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

This is caused by a gradle dependency on some out-of-date thing which causes the error. Remove gradle dependencies until the error stops appearing. For me, it was:

implementation 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'

This line needed to be updated to a newer version such as:

api group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.6'

Turn off axes in subplots

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2)


To turn off axes for all subplots, do either:

[axi.set_axis_off() for axi in ax.ravel()]

or

map(lambda axi: axi.set_axis_off(), ax.ravel())

how to access downloads folder in android?

For your first question try

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS); 

(available since API 8)

To access individual files in this directory use either File.list() or File.listFiles(). Seems that reporting download progress is only possible in notification, see here.

How to set an environment variable in a running docker container

There are generaly two options, because docker doesn't support this feature now:

  1. Create your own script, which will act like runner for your command. For example:

    #!/bin/bash
    export VAR1=VAL1
    export VAR2=VAL2
    your_cmd
    
  2. Run your command following way:

    docker exec -i CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash -c "export VAR1=VAL1 && export VAR2=VAL2 && your_cmd"
    

How to abort makefile if variable not set?

You can use an IF to test:

check:
        @[ "${var}" ] || ( echo ">> var is not set"; exit 1 )

Result:

$ make check
>> var is not set
Makefile:2: recipe for target 'check' failed
make: *** [check] Error 1

ASP.NET MVC - Getting QueryString values

You can always use Request.QueryString collection like Web forms, but you can also make MVC handle them and pass them as parameters. This is the suggested way as it's easier and it will validate input data type automatically.

How to make an "alias" for a long path?

Put the following line in your myscript

set myFold = '~/Files/Scripts/Main'

In the terminal use

source myscript
cd $myFold

What are the differences between the urllib, urllib2, urllib3 and requests module?

urllib and urllib2 are both Python modules that do URL request related stuff but offer different functionalities.

1) urllib2 can accept a Request object to set the headers for a URL request, urllib accepts only a URL.

2) urllib provides the urlencode method which is used for the generation of GET query strings, urllib2 doesn't have such a function. This is one of the reasons why urllib is often used along with urllib2.

Requests - Requests’ is a simple, easy-to-use HTTP library written in Python.

1) Python Requests encodes the parameters automatically so you just pass them as simple arguments, unlike in the case of urllib, where you need to use the method urllib.encode() to encode the parameters before passing them.

2) It automatically decoded the response into Unicode.

3) Requests also has far more convenient error handling.If your authentication failed, urllib2 would raise a urllib2.URLError, while Requests would return a normal response object, as expected. All you have to see if the request was successful by boolean response.ok

Apply global variable to Vuejs

If the global variable should not be written to by anything, including Vuejs, you can use Object.freeze to freeze your object. Adding it to Vue's viewmodel won't unfreeze it. Another option is to provide Vuejs with a frozen copy of the object, if the object is intended to be written globally but just not by Vue: var frozenCopy = Object.freeze(Object.assign({}, globalObject))

Find and replace in file and overwrite file doesn't work, it empties the file

sed -i.bak "s#https.*\.com#$pub_url#g" MyHTMLFile.html

If you have a link to be added, try this. Search for the URL as above (starting with https and ending with.com here) and replace it with a URL string. I have used a variable $pub_url here. s here means search and g means global replacement.

It works !

Adding a new entry to the PATH variable in ZSH

Actually, using ZSH allows you to use special mapping of environment variables. So you can simply do:

# append
path+=('/home/david/pear/bin')
# or prepend
path=('/home/david/pear/bin' $path)
# export to sub-processes (make it inherited by child processes)
export PATH

For me that's a very neat feature which can be propagated to other variables. Example:

typeset -T LD_LIBRARY_PATH ld_library_path :

Trying to read cell 1,1 in spreadsheet using Google Script API

You have to first obtain the Range object. Also, getCell() will not return the value of the cell but instead will return a Range object of the cell. So, use something on the lines of

function email() {

// Opens SS by its ID

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("0AgJjDgtUl5KddE5rR01NSFcxYTRnUHBCQ0stTXNMenc");

// Get the name of this SS

var name = ss.getName();  // Not necessary 

// Read cell 1,1 * Line below does't work *

// var data = Range.getCell(0, 0);
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); // or whatever is the name of the sheet 
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1); 
var data = range.getValue();

}

The hierarchy is Spreadsheet --> Sheet --> Range --> Cell.

Git: which is the default configured remote for branch?

the command to get the effective push remote for the branch, e.g., master, is:

git config branch.master.pushRemote || git config remote.pushDefault || git config branch.master.remote

Here's why (from the "man git config" output):

branch.name.remote [...] tells git fetch and git push which remote to fetch from/push to [...] [for push] may be overridden with remote.pushDefault (for all branches) [and] for the current branch [..] further overridden by branch.name.pushRemote [...]

For some reason, "man git push" only tells about branch.name.remote (even though it has the least precedence of the three) + erroneously states that if it is not set, push defaults to origin - it does not, it's just that when you clone a repo, branch.name.remote is set to origin, but if you remove this setting, git push will fail, even though you still have the origin remote

how to use sqltransaction in c#

You can create a SqlTransaction from a SqlConnection.

And use it to create any number of SqlCommands

SqlTransaction transaction = connection.BeginTransaction();
var cmd1 = new SqlCommand(command1Text, connection, transaction);
var cmd2 = new SqlCommand(command2Text, connection, transaction);

Or

var cmd1 = new SqlCommand(command1Text, connection, connection.BeginTransaction());
var cmd2 = new SqlCommand(command2Text, connection, cmd1.Transaction);

If the failure of commands never cause unexpected changes don't use transaction.

if the failure of commands might cause unexpected changes put them in a Try/Catch block and rollback the operation in another Try/Catch block.

Why another try/catch? According to MSDN:

Try/Catch exception handling should always be used when rolling back a transaction. A Rollback generates an InvalidOperationException if the connection is terminated or if the transaction has already been rolled back on the server.

Here is a sample code:

string connStr = "[connection string]";
string cmdTxt = "[t-sql command text]";

using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connStr))
{
    conn.Open();
    var cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdTxt, conn, conn.BeginTransaction());


    try
    {
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        //before this line, nothing has happened yet
        cmd.Transaction.Commit();
    }
    catch(System.Exception ex)
    {
        //You should always use a Try/Catch for transaction's rollback
        try
        {
            cmd.Transaction.Rollback();
        }
        catch(System.Exception ex2)
        {
            throw ex2;
        }
        throw ex;
    }

    conn.Close();
}

The transaction is rolled back in the event it is disposed before Commit or Rollback is called.

So you don't need to worry about app being closed.

(change) vs (ngModelChange) in angular

(change) event bound to classical input change event.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change

You can use (change) event even if you don't have a model at your input as

<input (change)="somethingChanged()">

(ngModelChange) is the @Output of ngModel directive. It fires when the model changes. You cannot use this event without ngModel directive.

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/forms/src/directives/ng_model.ts#L124

As you discover more in the source code, (ngModelChange) emits the new value.

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/forms/src/directives/ng_model.ts#L169

So it means you have ability of such usage:

<input (ngModelChange)="modelChanged($event)">
modelChanged(newObj) {
    // do something with new value
}

Basically, it seems like there is no big difference between two, but ngModel events gains the power when you use [ngValue].

  <select [(ngModel)]="data" (ngModelChange)="dataChanged($event)" name="data">
      <option *ngFor="let currentData of allData" [ngValue]="currentData">
          {{data.name}}
      </option>
  </select>
dataChanged(newObj) {
    // here comes the object as parameter
}

assume you try the same thing without "ngModel things"

<select (change)="changed($event)">
    <option *ngFor="let currentData of allData" [value]="currentData.id">
        {{data.name}}
    </option>
</select>
changed(e){
    // event comes as parameter, you'll have to find selectedData manually
    // by using e.target.data
}

Get the Selected value from the Drop down box in PHP

Couldn't you just pass the a name attribute and wrap it in a form?

<form id="form" action="do_stuff.php" method="post">
    <select id="select_catalog" name="select_catalog_query">
    <?php <<<INSERT THE SELECT OPTION LOOP>>> ?>
    </select>
</form>

And then look for $_POST['select_catalog_query'] ?

How to use multiple databases in Laravel

Laravel has inbuilt support for multiple database systems, you need to provide connection details in config/database.php file

return [
    'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),

    'connections' => [
        'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => false,
            'engine' => null,
        ],
'mysqlOne' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST_ONE', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE_ONE', 'forge'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME_ONE', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD_ONE', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => false,
            'engine' => null,
        ],
];

Once you have this you can create two base model class for each connection and define the connection name in those models

//BaseModel.php
protected $connection = 'mysql';

//BaseModelOne.php
protected $connection = 'mysqlOne';

You can extend these models to create more models for tables in each DB.

What is difference between monolithic and micro kernel?

Monolithic kernel has all kernel services along with kernel core part, thus are heavy and has negative impact on speed and performance. On the other hand micro kernel is lightweight causing increase in performance and speed.
I answered same question at wordpress site. For the difference between monolithic, microkernel and exokernel in tabular form, you can visit here

Why .NET String is immutable?

You never have to defensively copy immutable data. Despite the fact that you need to copy it to mutate it, often the ability to freely alias and never have to worry about unintended consequences of this aliasing can lead to better performance because of the lack of defensive copying.

How to remove underline from a link in HTML?

All the above-mentioned code did not work for me. When I dig into the problem I realize that it was not working because I'd placed the style after the href. When I placed the style before the href it was working as expected.

<a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://yoursite.com/">yoursite</a>

Adding integers to an int array

Arrays are different than ArrayLists, on which you could call add. You'll need an index first. Declare i before the for loop. Then you can use an array access expression to assign the element to the array.

num[i] = s;
i++;

dropdownlist set selected value in MVC3 Razor

I drilled down the formation of the drop down list instead of using @Html.DropDownList(). This is useful if you have to set the value of the dropdown list at runtime in razor instead of controller:

<select id="NewsCategoriesID" name="NewsCategoriesID">
    @foreach (SelectListItem option in ViewBag.NewsCategoriesID)
    {
        <option value="@option.Value" @(option.Value == ViewBag.ValueToSet ? "selected='selected'" : "")>@option.Text</option>

    }
</select>

How can I tell if a DOM element is visible in the current viewport?

All the answers here are determining if the element is fully contained within the viewport, not just visible in some way. For example, if only half of an image is visible at the bottom of the view, the solutions here will fail, considering that "outside".

I had a use case where I'm doing lazy loading via IntersectionObserver, but due to animations that occur during pop-in, I didn't want to observe any images that were already intersected on page load. To do that, I used the following code:

const bounding = el.getBoundingClientRect();
const isVisible = (0 < bounding.top && bounding.top < (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight)) ||
        (0 < bounding.bottom && bounding.bottom < (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight));

This is basically checking to see if either the top or bottom bound is independently in the viewport. The opposite end may be outside, but as long as one end is in, it's "visible" at least partially.

Get total of Pandas column

You should use sum:

Total = df['MyColumn'].sum()
print (Total)
319

Then you use loc with Series, in that case the index should be set as the same as the specific column you need to sum:

df.loc['Total'] = pd.Series(df['MyColumn'].sum(), index = ['MyColumn'])
print (df)
         X  MyColumn      Y      Z
0        A      84.0   13.0   69.0
1        B      76.0   77.0  127.0
2        C      28.0   69.0   16.0
3        D      28.0   28.0   31.0
4        E      19.0   20.0   85.0
5        F      84.0  193.0   70.0
Total  NaN     319.0    NaN    NaN

because if you pass scalar, the values of all rows will be filled:

df.loc['Total'] = df['MyColumn'].sum()
print (df)
         X  MyColumn      Y      Z
0        A        84   13.0   69.0
1        B        76   77.0  127.0
2        C        28   69.0   16.0
3        D        28   28.0   31.0
4        E        19   20.0   85.0
5        F        84  193.0   70.0
Total  319       319  319.0  319.0

Two other solutions are with at, and ix see the applications below:

df.at['Total', 'MyColumn'] = df['MyColumn'].sum()
print (df)
         X  MyColumn      Y      Z
0        A      84.0   13.0   69.0
1        B      76.0   77.0  127.0
2        C      28.0   69.0   16.0
3        D      28.0   28.0   31.0
4        E      19.0   20.0   85.0
5        F      84.0  193.0   70.0
Total  NaN     319.0    NaN    NaN

df.ix['Total', 'MyColumn'] = df['MyColumn'].sum()
print (df)
         X  MyColumn      Y      Z
0        A      84.0   13.0   69.0
1        B      76.0   77.0  127.0
2        C      28.0   69.0   16.0
3        D      28.0   28.0   31.0
4        E      19.0   20.0   85.0
5        F      84.0  193.0   70.0
Total  NaN     319.0    NaN    NaN

Note: Since Pandas v0.20, ix has been deprecated. Use loc or iloc instead.

How to enable Logger.debug() in Log4j

This is happening due to the fact that the logging level of your logger is set to 'error' - therefore you will only see error messages or above this level in terms of severity so this is why you also see the 'fatal' message.

If you set the logging level to 'debug' on your logger in your log4j.xml you should see all messages.

Have a look at the log4j introduction for explaination.

Simple way to query connected USB devices info in Python?

For linux, I wrote a script called find_port.py which you can find here: https://github.com/dhylands/usb-ser-mon/blob/master/usb_ser_mon/find_port.py

It uses pyudev to enumerate all tty devices, and can match on various attributes.

Use the --list option to show all of the know USB serial ports and their attributes. You can filter by VID, PID, serial number, or vendor name. Use --help to see the filtering options.

find_port.py prints the /dev/ttyXXX name rather than the /dev/usb/... name.

Android studio: emulator is running but not showing up in Run App "choose a running device"

For anyone else having the issue - none of the answers provided worked for me.

My case may be different to others but I had Android Studio installed first which installs the SDK by default to: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk. We then decided to use Xamarin for our projects, so Xamarin was installed and installed an additional SDK by default, located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk.

Changing Xamarin to match the same SDK path worked for me which I did in the registry (although through the VS settings I'd guess it's the same):

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Android SDK Tools\Path

Change the path to match the Android Studio SDK path, close everything, start the VS Emulator, run Android Studio, ensure ADB integration is off and try. It worked for me.

How to set a primary key in MongoDB?

_id field is reserved for primary key in mongodb, and that should be a unique value. If you don't set anything to _id it will automatically fill it with "MongoDB Id Object". But you can put any unique info into that field.

Is Unit Testing worth the effort?

Unit Testing is one of the most adopted methodologies for high quality code. Its contribution to a more stable, independent and documented code is well proven . Unit test code is considered and handled as an a integral part of your repository, and as such requires development and maintenance. However, developers often encounter a situation where the resources invested in unit tests where not as fruitful as one would expect. In an ideal world every method we code will have a series of tests covering it’s code and validating it’s correctness. However, usually due to time limitations we either skip some tests or write poor quality ones. In such reality, while keeping in mind the amount of resources invested in unit testing development and maintenance, one must ask himself, given the available time, which code deserve testing the most? And from the existing tests, which tests are actually worth keeping and maintaining? See here

How do I POST form data with UTF-8 encoding by using curl?

            {
                JSONObject price_point = data_array.getJSONObject(i);

                //  Unix time

Is it possible to use Java 8 for Android development?

Yes. We will use Java 8 soon!

We've decided to add support for Java 8 language features directly into the current javac and dx set of tools, and deprecate the Jack toolchain. With this new direction, existing tools and plugins dependent on the Java class file format should continue to work. Moving forward, Java 8 language features will be natively supported by the Android build system. We're aiming to launch this as part of Android Studio in the coming weeks, and we wanted to share this decision early with you.

How to rename a component in Angular CLI?

Here is a checklist I use to rename a component:

1.Rename the component class (VSCode Rename Symbool will update all the references)

<Old Name>Component => <New Name>Component

2.Rename @Component selector along with references (use VSCode's Replace in Files):

app-<old-name> => app-<new-name>

Result:
@Component({
  selector: 'app-<old-name>' => 'app-<new-name>',
  ...
})

<app-{old-name}></app-{old-name}> => <app-{new-name}></app-{new-name}>

3.Rename component folder (when renaming folder in VSCode, it will update references in module and other components)

src\app\<module>\<old-name> => src\app\<module>\<new-name>

4.Rename component files (renaming manually will be the fastest, but you can also use a terminal to rename all at once)

<old-name>.compoonent.* => <new-name>.compoonent.*

Bash:
find . -name "<old-name>.component.*" -exec rename 's/\/<old-name>\.component/\/<new-name>.component/' '{}' +

PowerShell: 
Get-Item <old-name>.component.* | % { Rename-Item $_ <new-name>.component.$($_.Extension) }

Cmd:
rename <old-name>.component.* <new-name>.component.*

5.Replace file references in @Component (use VSCode's Replace in Files):

<old-name>.component => <new-name>.component

Result:
@Component({
  ...
  templateUrl: './<old-name>.component.html' => './<old-name>.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./<old-name>.component.scss'] => ['./<new-name>.component.scss']
})

That should be sufficient

Postgresql Select rows where column = array

var_dump(curl_version());
echo '</pre>';
?>

and save to your htdocs. Next go to your browser and paste

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause' (SQL: select * from `songs` where `id` = 5 limit 1)

$song = DB::table('songs')->find($id);

here you use method find($id)

for Laravel, if you use this method, you should have column named 'id' and set it as primary key, so then you'll be able to use method find()

otherwise use where('SongID', $id) instead of find($id)

Align the form to the center in Bootstrap 4

You need to use the various Bootstrap 4 centering methods...

  • Use text-center for inline elements.
  • Use justify-content-center for flexbox elements (ie; form-inline)

https://codeply.com/go/Am5LvvjTxC

Also, to offset the column, the col-sm-* must be contained within a .row, and the .row must be in a container...

<section id="cover">
    <div id="cover-caption">
        <div id="container" class="container">
            <div class="row">

Regular Expression to get all characters before "-"

This is something like the regular expression you need:

([^-]*)-

Quick tests in JavaScript:

/([^-]*)-/.exec('text-1')[1] // 'text'

/([^-]*)-/.exec('foo-bar-1')[1] // 'foo'

/([^-]*)-/.exec('-1')[1] // ''

/([^-]*)-/.exec('quux')[1] // explodes

Embedding JavaScript engine into .NET

I guess I am still unclear about what it is you are trying to do, but JScript.NET might be worth looking into, though Managed JScript seems like it may be more appropriate for your needs (it is more like JavaScript than JScript.NET).

Personally, I thought it would be cool to integrate V8 somehow, but I didn't get past downloading the source code; wish I had the time to actually do something with it.

Why is it OK to return a 'vector' from a function?

I do not agree and do not recommend to return a vector:

vector <double> vectorial(vector <double> a, vector <double> b)
{
    vector <double> c{ a[1] * b[2] - b[1] * a[2], -a[0] * b[2] + b[0] * a[2], a[0] * b[1] - b[0] * a[1] };
    return c;
}

This is much faster:

void vectorial(vector <double> a, vector <double> b, vector <double> &c)
{
    c[0] = a[1] * b[2] - b[1] * a[2]; c[1] = -a[0] * b[2] + b[0] * a[2]; c[2] = a[0] * b[1] - b[0] * a[1];
}

I tested on Visual Studio 2017 with the following results in release mode:

8.01 MOPs by reference
5.09 MOPs returning vector

In debug mode, things are much worse:

0.053 MOPS by reference
0.034 MOPs by return vector

How to compile C program on command line using MinGW?

In Windows 10, similar steps can be followed in other versions of windows.

Right Click on "My Computer" select Properties, Goto Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Select "Environment Variables.." .

Find "Path" select it and choose edit option -> Click on New and add "C:\MinGW\bin" (or the location of gcc.exe, if you have installed at some other location) -> Save and restart command prompt. Gcc should work.

How do I test for an empty JavaScript object?

I am using this.

function isObjectEmpty(object) {
  var isEmpty = true;
  for (keys in object) {
     isEmpty = false;
     break; // exiting since we found that the object is not empty
  }
  return isEmpty;
}

Eg:

var myObject = {}; // Object is empty
var isEmpty  = isObjectEmpty(myObject); // will return true;

// populating the object
myObject = {"name":"John Smith","Address":"Kochi, Kerala"}; 

// check if the object is empty
isEmpty  = isObjectEmpty(myObject); // will return false;

from here

Update

OR

you can use the jQuery implementation of isEmptyObject

function isEmptyObject(obj) {
  var name;
  for (name in obj) {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

Float a div above page content

The results container div has position: relative meaning it is still in the document flow and will change the layout of elements around it. You need to use position: absolute to achieve a 'floating' effect.

You should also check the markup you're using, you have phantom <li>s with no container <ul>, you could probably replace both the div#suggestions and div#autoSuggestionsList with a single <ul> and get the desired result.

Mapping many-to-many association table with extra column(s)

I search a way to map a many-to-many association table with extra column(s) with hibernate in xml files configuration.

Assuming with have two table 'a' & 'c' with a many to many association with a column named 'extra'. Cause I didn't find any complete example, here is my code. Hope it will help :).

First here is the Java objects.

public class A implements Serializable{  

    protected int id;
    // put some others fields if needed ...   
    private Set<AC> ac = new HashSet<AC>();

    public A(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Set<AC> getAC() {
        return ac;
    }

    public void setAC(Set<AC> ac) {
        this.ac = ac;
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 97;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + id;
        return result;
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (!(obj instanceof A))
            return false;
        final A other = (A) obj;
        if (id != other.getId())
            return false;
        return true;
    }

}

public class C implements Serializable{

    protected int id;
    // put some others fields if needed ...    

    public C(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 98;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + id;
        return result;
    }

    /** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (!(obj instanceof C))
            return false;
        final C other = (C) obj;
        if (id != other.getId())
            return false;
        return true;
    }

}

Now, we have to create the association table. The first step is to create an object representing a complex primary key (a.id, c.id).

public class ACId implements Serializable{

    private A a;
    private C c;

    public ACId() {
        super();
    }

    public A getA() {
        return a;
    }
    public void setA(A a) {
        this.a = a;
    }
    public C getC() {
        return c;
    }
    public void setC(C c) {
        this.c = c;
    }
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + ((a == null) ? 0 : a.hashCode());
        result = prime * result
                + ((c == null) ? 0 : c.hashCode());
        return result;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        ACId other = (ACId) obj;
        if (a == null) {
            if (other.a != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!a.equals(other.a))
            return false;
        if (c == null) {
            if (other.c != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!c.equals(other.c))
            return false;
        return true;
    }
}

Now let's create the association object itself.

public class AC implements java.io.Serializable{

    private ACId id = new ACId();
    private String extra;

    public AC(){

    }

    public ACId getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(ACId id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public A getA(){
        return getId().getA();
    }

    public C getC(){
        return getId().getC();
    }

    public void setC(C C){
        getId().setC(C);
    }

    public void setA(A A){
        getId().setA(A);
    }

    public String getExtra() {
        return extra;
    }

    public void setExtra(String extra) {
        this.extra = extra;
    }

    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o)
            return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass())
            return false;

        AC that = (AC) o;

        if (getId() != null ? !getId().equals(that.getId())
                : that.getId() != null)
            return false;

        return true;
    }

    public int hashCode() {
        return (getId() != null ? getId().hashCode() : 0);
    }
}

At this point, it's time to map all our classes with hibernate xml configuration.

A.hbm.xml and C.hxml.xml (quiete the same).

<class name="A" table="a">
        <id name="id" column="id_a" unsaved-value="0">
            <generator class="identity">
                <param name="sequence">a_id_seq</param>
            </generator>
        </id>
<!-- here you should map all others table columns -->
<!-- <property name="otherprop" column="otherprop" type="string" access="field" /> -->
    <set name="ac" table="a_c" lazy="true" access="field" fetch="select" cascade="all">
        <key>
            <column name="id_a" not-null="true" />
        </key>
        <one-to-many class="AC" />
    </set>
</class>

<class name="C" table="c">
        <id name="id" column="id_c" unsaved-value="0">
            <generator class="identity">
                <param name="sequence">c_id_seq</param>
            </generator>
        </id>
</class>

And then association mapping file, a_c.hbm.xml.

<class name="AC" table="a_c">
    <composite-id name="id" class="ACId">
        <key-many-to-one name="a" class="A" column="id_a" />
        <key-many-to-one name="c" class="C" column="id_c" />
    </composite-id>
    <property name="extra" type="string" column="extra" />
</class>

Here is the code sample to test.

A = ADao.get(1);
C = CDao.get(1);

if(A != null && C != null){
    boolean exists = false;
            // just check if it's updated or not
    for(AC a : a.getAC()){
        if(a.getC().equals(c)){
            // update field
            a.setExtra("extra updated");
            exists = true;
            break;
        }
    }

    // add 
    if(!exists){
        ACId idAC = new ACId();
        idAC.setA(a);
        idAC.setC(c);

        AC AC = new AC();
        AC.setId(idAC);
        AC.setExtra("extra added"); 
        a.getAC().add(AC);
    }

    ADao.save(A);
}

Insert text with single quotes in PostgreSQL

In postgresql if you want to insert values with ' in it then for this you have to give extra '

Setting custom UITableViewCells height

Your UITableViewDelegate should implement tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:

Objective-C

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return [indexPath row] * 20;
}

Swift 5

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return indexPath.row * 20
}

You will probably want to use NSString's sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode: method to calculate your row height rather than just performing some silly math on the indexPath :)

How to perform element-wise multiplication of two lists?

To maintain the list type, and do it in one line (after importing numpy as np, of course):

list(np.array([1,2,3,4]) * np.array([2,3,4,5]))

or

list(np.array(a) * np.array(b))

How to get just numeric part of CSS property with jQuery?

Let us assume you have a margin-bottom property set to 20px / 20% / 20em. To get the value as a number there are two options:

Option 1:

parseInt($('#some_DOM_element_ID').css('margin-bottom'), 10);

The parseInt() function parses a string and returns an integer. Don't change the 10 found in the above function (known as a "radix") unless you know what you are doing.

Example Output will be: 20 (if margin-bottom set in px) for % and em it will output the relative number based on current Parent Element / Font size.

Option 2 (I personally prefer this option)

parseFloat($('#some_DOM_element_ID').css('margin-bottom'));

Example Output will be: 20 (if margin-bottom set in px) for % and em it will output the relative number based on current Parent Element / Font size.

The parseFloat() function parses a string and returns a floating point number.

The parseFloat() function determines if the first character in the specified string is a number. If it is, it parses the string until it reaches the end of the number, and returns the number as a number, not as a string.

The advantage of Option 2 is that if you get decimal numbers returned (e.g. 20.32322px) you will get the number returned with the values behind the decimal point. Useful if you need specific numbers returned, for example if your margin-bottom is set in em or %

How to extract 1 screenshot for a video with ffmpeg at a given time?

FFMpeg can do this by seeking to the given timestamp and extracting exactly one frame as an image, see for instance:

ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -ss 01:23:45 -vframes 1 output.jpg

Let's explain the options:

-i input file           the path to the input file
-ss 01:23:45            seek the position to the specified timestamp
-vframes 1              only handle one video frame
output.jpg              output filename, should have a well-known extension

The -ss parameter accepts a value in the form HH:MM:SS[.xxx] or as a number in seconds. If you need a percentage, you need to compute the video duration beforehand.

Where is debug.keystore in Android Studio

On Windows, if the debug.keystore file is not in the location (C:\Users\username\.android), the debug.keystore file may also be found in the location where you have installed Android Studio.

How to set the value for Radio Buttons When edit?

This is easier to read for me:

<input type="radio" name="rWF" id="rWF" value=1  <?php if ($WF == '1') {echo ' checked ';} ?> />Water Fall</label>
<input type="radio" name="rWF" id="rWF" value=0 <?php if ($WF == '0') {echo ' checked ';} ?> />nope</label>

destination path already exists and is not an empty directory

If you got Destination path XXX already exists means the name of the project repository which you are trying to clone is already there in that current directory. So please cross-check and delete any existing one and try to clone it again

Remove all whitespace in a string

In addition, strip has some variations:

Remove spaces in the BEGINNING and END of a string:

sentence= sentence.strip()

Remove spaces in the BEGINNING of a string:

sentence = sentence.lstrip()

Remove spaces in the END of a string:

sentence= sentence.rstrip()

All three string functions strip lstrip, and rstrip can take parameters of the string to strip, with the default being all white space. This can be helpful when you are working with something particular, for example, you could remove only spaces but not newlines:

" 1. Step 1\n".strip(" ")

Or you could remove extra commas when reading in a string list:

"1,2,3,".strip(",")

Could not find or load main class

How to add custom method to Spring Data JPA

In addition to axtavt's answer, don't forget you can inject Entity Manager in your custom implementation if you need it to build your queries:

public class AccountRepositoryImpl implements AccountRepositoryCustom {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;

    public void customMethod() { 
        ...
        em.createQuery(yourCriteria);
        ...
    }
}

PHP: How to get referrer URL?

Underscore. Not space.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;

A good alternative is this:

find . -type f | xargs chmod -v 644

and for directories:

find . -type d | xargs chmod -v 755

and to be more explicit:

find . -type f | xargs -I{} chmod -v 644 {}

Sorting list based on values from another list

Here is Whatangs answer if you want to get both sorted lists (python3).

X = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i"]
Y = [ 0,   1,   1,    0,   1,   2,   2,   0,   1]

Zx, Zy = zip(*[(x, y) for x, y in sorted(zip(Y, X))])

print(list(Zx))  # [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2]
print(list(Zy))  # ['a', 'd', 'h', 'b', 'c', 'e', 'i', 'f', 'g']

Just remember Zx and Zy are tuples. I am also wandering if there is a better way to do that.

Warning: If you run it with empty lists it crashes.

COLLATION 'utf8_general_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'latin1'

Firstly run this query

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%char%';

You have character_set_server='latin1'

If so,go into your config file,my.cnf and add or uncomment these lines:

character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci

Restart the server. Yes late to the party,just encountered the same issue.

How to wait 5 seconds with jQuery?

I realize that this is an old question, but here's a plugin to address this issue that someone might find useful.

https://github.com/madbook/jquery.wait

lets you do this:

$('#myElement').addClass('load').wait(5000).addClass('done');

The reason why you should use .wait instead of .delay is because not all jquery functions are supported by .delay and that .delay only works with animation functions. For example delay does not support .addClass and .removeClass

Or you can use this function instead.

function sleep(milliseconds) {
  var start = new Date().getTime();
  for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
    if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds){
      break;
    }
  }
}

sleep(5000);

WPF Check box: Check changed handling

What about the Checked event? Combine that with AttachedCommandBehaviors or something similar, and a DelegateCommand to get a function fired in your viewmodel everytime that event is called.

HTML5 File API read as text and binary

Note in 2018: readAsBinaryString is outdated. For use cases where previously you'd have used it, these days you'd use readAsArrayBuffer (or in some cases, readAsDataURL) instead.


readAsBinaryString says that the data must be represented as a binary string, where:

...every byte is represented by an integer in the range [0..255].

JavaScript originally didn't have a "binary" type (until ECMAScript 5's WebGL support of Typed Array* (details below) -- it has been superseded by ECMAScript 2015's ArrayBuffer) and so they went with a String with the guarantee that no character stored in the String would be outside the range 0..255. (They could have gone with an array of Numbers instead, but they didn't; perhaps large Strings are more memory-efficient than large arrays of Numbers, since Numbers are floating-point.)

If you're reading a file that's mostly text in a western script (mostly English, for instance), then that string is going to look a lot like text. If you read a file with Unicode characters in it, you should notice a difference, since JavaScript strings are UTF-16** (details below) and so some characters will have values above 255, whereas a "binary string" according to the File API spec wouldn't have any values above 255 (you'd have two individual "characters" for the two bytes of the Unicode code point).

If you're reading a file that's not text at all (an image, perhaps), you'll probably still get a very similar result between readAsText and readAsBinaryString, but with readAsBinaryString you know that there won't be any attempt to interpret multi-byte sequences as characters. You don't know that if you use readAsText, because readAsText will use an encoding determination to try to figure out what the file's encoding is and then map it to JavaScript's UTF-16 strings.

You can see the effect if you create a file and store it in something other than ASCII or UTF-8. (In Windows you can do this via Notepad; the "Save As" as an encoding drop-down with "Unicode" on it, by which looking at the data they seem to mean UTF-16; I'm sure Mac OS and *nix editors have a similar feature.) Here's a page that dumps the result of reading a file both ways:

If I use that with a "Testing 1 2 3" file stored in UTF-16, here are the results I get:

Text (13):

54 65 73 74 69 6e 67 20 31 20 32 20 33

Binary (28):

ff fe 54 00 65 00 73 00 74 00 69 00 6e 00 67 00 20 00 31 00 20 00 32 00 20 00 33 00

As you can see, readAsText interpreted the characters and so I got 13 (the length of "Testing 1 2 3"), and readAsBinaryString didn't, and so I got 28 (the two-byte BOM plus two bytes for each character).


* XMLHttpRequest.response with responseType = "arraybuffer" is supported in HTML 5.

** "JavaScript strings are UTF-16" may seem like an odd statement; aren't they just Unicode? No, a JavaScript string is a series of UTF-16 code units; you see surrogate pairs as two individual JavaScript "characters" even though, in fact, the surrogate pair as a whole is just one character. See the link for details.

Query to check index on a table

On Oracle:

  • Determine all indexes on table:

    SELECT index_name 
     FROM user_indexes
     WHERE table_name = :table
    
  • Determine columns indexes and columns on index:

    SELECT index_name
         , column_position
         , column_name
      FROM user_ind_columns
     WHERE table_name = :table
     ORDER BY index_name, column_order

Replication is not very hard to create.

Here's some good tutorials:

http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/09/set-up-mysql-database-replication/

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-howto.html

http://www.lassosoft.com/Beginners-Guide-to-MySQL-Replication

Here some simple rules you will have to keep in mind (there's more of course but that is the main concept):

  1. Setup 1 server (master) for writing data.
  2. Setup 1 or more servers (slaves) for reading data.

This way, you will avoid errors.

For example: If your script insert into the same tables on both master and slave, you will have duplicate primary key conflict.

You can view the "slave" as a "backup" server which hold the same information as the master but cannot add data directly, only follow what the master server instructions.

NOTE: Of course you can read from the master and you can write to the slave but make sure you don't write to the same tables (master to slave and slave to master).

I would recommend to monitor your servers to make sure everything is fine.

How to check if a value exists in an array in Ruby

If you're trying to do this in a MiniTest unit test, you can use assert_includes. Example:

AClass[] array;
...
array = c(object1, object2);

How to reset a timer in C#?

All the timers have the equivalent of Start() and Stop() methods, except System.Threading.Timer.

So an extension method such as...

  timer.Start();
}

...is one way to go about it.

Javascript : Send JSON Object with Ajax?

With jQuery:

$.post("test.php", { json_string:JSON.stringify({name:"John", time:"2pm"}) });

Without jQuery:

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();   // new HttpRequest instance 
xmlhttp.open("POST", "/json-handler");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xmlhttp.send(JSON.stringify({name:"John Rambo", time:"2pm"}));

Python: importing a sub-package or sub-module

The reason #2 fails is because sys.modules['module'] does not exist (the import routine has its own scope, and cannot see the module local name), and there's no module module or package on-disk. Note that you can separate multiple imported names by commas.

from package.subpackage.module import attribute1, attribute2, attribute3

Also:

from package.subpackage import module
print module.attribute1

Finding the index of elements based on a condition using python list comprehension

  • In Python, you wouldn't use indexes for this at all, but just deal with the values—[value for value in a if value > 2]. Usually dealing with indexes means you're not doing something the best way.

  • If you do need an API similar to Matlab's, you would use numpy, a package for multidimensional arrays and numerical math in Python which is heavily inspired by Matlab. You would be using a numpy array instead of a list.

    >>> import numpy
    >>> a = numpy.array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])
    >>> a
    array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])
    >>> numpy.where(a > 2)
    (array([2, 5]),)
    >>> a > 2
    array([False, False,  True, False, False,  True], dtype=bool)
    >>> a[numpy.where(a > 2)]
    array([3, 3])
    >>> a[a > 2]
    array([3, 3])

Send POST data using XMLHttpRequest

Minimal use of FormData to submit an AJAX request

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge, chrome=1"/>
<script>
"use strict";
function submitForm(oFormElement)
{
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.onload = function(){ alert (xhr.responseText); } // success case
  xhr.onerror = function(){ alert (xhr.responseText); } // failure case
  xhr.open (oFormElement.method, oFormElement.action, true);
  xhr.send (new FormData (oFormElement));
  return false;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form method="post" action="somewhere" onsubmit="return submitForm(this);">
  <input type="hidden" value="person"   name="user" />
  <input type="hidden" value="password" name="pwd" />
  <input type="hidden" value="place"    name="organization" />
  <input type="hidden" value="key"      name="requiredkey" />
  <input type="submit" value="post request"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Remarks

  1. This does not fully answer the OP question because it requires the user to click in order to submit the request. But this may be useful to people searching for this kind of simple solution.

  2. This example is very simple and does not support the GET method. If you are interesting by more sophisticated examples, please have a look at the excellent MDN documentation. See also similar answer about XMLHttpRequest to Post HTML Form.

  3. Limitation of this solution: As pointed out by Justin Blank and Thomas Munk (see their comments), FormData is not supported by IE9 and lower, and default browser on Android 2.3.

Spring configure @ResponseBody JSON format

You can configure the ObjectMapper as a bean in your Spring xml file. What holds a reference to the ObjectMapper is the MappingJacksonJsonView class. You then need to attach the view to a ViewResolver.

Something like this should work:

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
      <property name="mediaTypes">
      <map>
        <entry key="json" value="application/json" />
        <entry key="html" value="text/html" />
      </map>
    </property>
    <property name="viewResolvers">
      <list>
        <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
          <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
          <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
        </bean>
      </list>
    </property>
    <property name="defaultViews">
      <list>
        <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView">
          <property name="prefixJson" value="false" />
          <property name="objectMapper" value="customObjectMapper" />
        </bean>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean>

Where customObjectMapper is defined elsewhere in the xml file. Note that you can directly set Spring property values with the Enums Jackson defines; see this question.

Also, ContentNegotiatingViewResolver probably isn't required, it's just the code I am using in an existing project.

Calling Oracle stored procedure from C#?

Instead of

cmd = new OracleCommand("ProcName", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("ParName", OracleDbType.Varchar2, ParameterDirection.Input).Value = "foo";

You can also use this syntax:

cmd = new OracleCommand("BEGIN ProcName(:p0); END;", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("ParName", OracleDbType.Varchar2, ParameterDirection.Input).Value = "foo";

Note, if you set cmd.BindByName = False (which is the default) then you have to add the parameters in the same order as they are written in your command string, the actual names are not relevant. For cmd.BindByName = True the parameter names have to match, the order does not matter.

In case of a function call the command string would be like this:

cmd = new OracleCommand("BEGIN :ret := ProcName(:ParName); END;", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("ret", OracleDbType.RefCursor, ParameterDirection.ReturnValue);    
cmd.Parameters.Add("ParName", OracleDbType.Varchar2, ParameterDirection.Input).Value = "foo";
// cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); is not needed, otherwise the function is executed twice!
var da = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);

How to set the height of table header in UITableView?

I found a nice hack. Add the below line after modifying the frame propery

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.tableView.tableHeaderView;

The trick is (I think) that the UITableView is caching the height (the frame actually) when you assign the view to the tableHeaderView property. The above line just assigns the height again.

Function to convert column number to letter?

This is a version of robartsd's answer (with the flavor of Jan Wijninckx's one line solution), using recursion instead of a loop.

Public Function ColumnLetter(Column As Integer) As String
    If Column < 1 Then Exit Function
    ColumnLetter = ColumnLetter(Int((Column - 1) / 26)) & Chr(((Column - 1) Mod 26) + Asc("A"))
End Function

I've tested this with the following inputs:

1   => "A"
26  => "Z"
27  => "AA"
51  => "AY"
702 => "ZZ"
703 => "AAA" 
-1  => ""
-234=> ""

Set selected option of select box

I had the same problem.

Solution: add a refresh.

MySQL order by before group by

Your solution makes use of an extension to GROUP BY clause that permits to group by some fields (in this case, just post_author):

GROUP BY wp_posts.post_author

and select nonaggregated columns:

SELECT wp_posts.*

that are not listed in the group by clause, or that are not used in an aggregate function (MIN, MAX, COUNT, etc.).

Correct use of extension to GROUP BY clause

This is useful when all values of non-aggregated columns are equal for every row.

For example, suppose you have a table GardensFlowers (name of the garden, flower that grows in the garden):

INSERT INTO GardensFlowers VALUES
('Central Park',       'Magnolia'),
('Hyde Park',          'Tulip'),
('Gardens By The Bay', 'Peony'),
('Gardens By The Bay', 'Cherry Blossom');

and you want to extract all the flowers that grows in a garden, where multiple flowers grow. Then you have to use a subquery, for example you could use this:

SELECT GardensFlowers.*
FROM   GardensFlowers
WHERE  name IN (SELECT   name
                FROM     GardensFlowers
                GROUP BY name
                HAVING   COUNT(DISTINCT flower)>1);

If you need to extract all the flowers that are the only flowers in the garder instead, you could just change the HAVING condition to HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT flower)=1, but MySql also allows you to use this:

SELECT   GardensFlowers.*
FROM     GardensFlowers
GROUP BY name
HAVING   COUNT(DISTINCT flower)=1;

no subquery, not standard SQL, but simpler.

Incorrect use of extension to GROUP BY clause

But what happens if you SELECT non-aggregated columns that are non equal for every row? Which is the value that MySql chooses for that column?

It looks like MySql always chooses the FIRST value it encounters.

To make sure that the first value it encounters is exactly the value you want, you need to apply a GROUP BY to an ordered query, hence the need to use a subquery. You can't do it otherwise.

Given the assumption that MySql always chooses the first row it encounters, you are correcly sorting the rows before the GROUP BY. But unfortunately, if you read the documentation carefully, you'll notice that this assumption is not true.

When selecting non-aggregated columns that are not always the same, MySql is free to choose any value, so the resulting value that it actually shows is indeterminate.

I see that this trick to get the first value of a non-aggregated column is used a lot, and it usually/almost always works, I use it as well sometimes (at my own risk). But since it's not documented, you can't rely on this behaviour.

This link (thanks ypercube!) GROUP BY trick has been optimized away shows a situation in which the same query returns different results between MySql and MariaDB, probably because of a different optimization engine.

So, if this trick works, it's just a matter of luck.

The accepted answer on the other question looks wrong to me:

HAVING wp_posts.post_date = MAX(wp_posts.post_date)

wp_posts.post_date is a non-aggregated column, and its value will be officially undetermined, but it will likely be the first post_date encountered. But since the GROUP BY trick is applied to an unordered table, it is not sure which is the first post_date encountered.

It will probably returns posts that are the only posts of a single author, but even this is not always certain.

A possible solution

I think that this could be a possible solution:

SELECT wp_posts.*
FROM   wp_posts
WHERE  id IN (
  SELECT max(id)
  FROM wp_posts
  WHERE (post_author, post_date) = (
    SELECT   post_author, max(post_date)
    FROM     wp_posts
    WHERE    wp_posts.post_status='publish'
             AND wp_posts.post_type='post'
    GROUP BY post_author
  ) AND wp_posts.post_status='publish'
    AND wp_posts.post_type='post'
  GROUP BY post_author
)

On the inner query I'm returning the maximum post date for every author. I'm then taking into consideration the fact that the same author could theorically have two posts at the same time, so I'm getting only the maximum ID. And then I'm returning all rows that have those maximum IDs. It could be made faster using joins instead of IN clause.

(If you're sure that ID is only increasing, and if ID1 > ID2 also means that post_date1 > post_date2, then the query could be made much more simple, but I'm not sure if this is the case).

How do I find if a string starts with another string in Ruby?

The method mentioned by steenslag is terse, and given the scope of the question it should be considered the correct answer. However it is also worth knowing that this can be achieved with a regular expression, which if you aren't already familiar with in Ruby, is an important skill to learn.

Have a play with Rubular: http://rubular.com/

But in this case, the following ruby statement will return true if the string on the left starts with 'abc'. The \A in the regex literal on the right means 'the beginning of the string'. Have a play with rubular - it will become clear how things work.

'abcdefg' =~  /\Aabc/ 

SQL Server Creating a temp table for this query

Like this. Make sure you drop the temp table (at the end of the code block, after you're done with it) or it will error on subsequent runs.

SELECT  
    tblMEP_Sites.Name AS SiteName, 
    convert(varchar(10),BillingMonth ,101) AS BillingMonth, 
    SUM(Consumption) AS Consumption
INTO 
    #MyTempTable
FROM 
    tblMEP_Projects
    JOIN tblMEP_Sites
        ON tblMEP_Projects.ID = tblMEP_Sites.ProjectID
    JOIN tblMEP_Meters
        ON tblMEP_Meters.SiteID = tblMEP_Sites.ID
    JOIN tblMEP_MonthlyData
        ON tblMEP_MonthlyData.MeterID = tblMEP_Meters.ID
    JOIN tblMEP_CustomerAccounts
        ON tblMEP_CustomerAccounts.ID = tblMEP_Meters.CustomerAccountID
    JOIN tblMEP_UtilityCompanies
        ON tblMEP_UtilityCompanies.ID = tblMEP_CustomerAccounts.UtilityCompanyID
    JOIN tblMEP_MeterTypes
        ON tblMEP_UtilityCompanies.UtilityTypeID = tblMEP_MeterTypes.ID
WHERE 
    tblMEP_Projects.ID = @ProjectID
    AND tblMEP_MonthlyData.BillingMonth Between @StartDate AND @EndDate
    AND tbLMEP_MeterTypes.ID = @MeterTypeID
GROUP BY 
    BillingMonth, tblMEP_Sites.Name

DROP TABLE #MyTempTable

In a Dockerfile, How to update PATH environment variable?

This is discouraged (if you want to create/distribute a clean Docker image), since the PATH variable is set by /etc/profile script, the value can be overridden.

head /etc/profile:

if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
else
  PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"
fi
export PATH

At the end of the Dockerfile, you could add:

RUN echo "export PATH=$PATH" > /etc/environment

So PATH is set for all users.

Materialize CSS - Select Doesn't Seem to Render

Call the materialize css jquery code only after the html has rendered. So you can have a controller and then fire a service which calls the jquery code in the controller. This will render the select button alright. How ever if you try to use ngChange or ngSubmit it may not work due to the dynamic styling of the select tag.

MySQL high CPU usage

If this server is visible to the outside world, It's worth checking if it's having lots of requests to connect from the outside world (i.e. people trying to break into it)

Using the "start" command with parameters passed to the started program

The spaces are DOSs/CMDs Problems so you should go to the Path via:

cd "c:\program files\Microsoft Virtual PC"

and then simply start VPC via:

start Virtual~1.exe -pc MY-PC -launch

~1 means the first exe with "Virtual" at the beginning. So if there is a "Virtual PC.exe" and a "Virtual PC1.exe" the first would be the Virtual~1.exe and the second Virtual~2.exe and so on.

Or use a VNC-Client like VirtualBox.

Body set to overflow-y:hidden but page is still scrollable in Chrome

The correct answer is, you need to set JUST body to overflow:hidden. For whatever reason, if you also set html to overflow:hidden the result is the problem you've described.

Converting a string to an integer on Android

You can also do it one line:

int hello = Integer.parseInt(((Button)findViewById(R.id.button1)).getText().toString().replaceAll("[\\D]", ""));

Reading from order of execution

  1. grab the view using findViewById(R.id.button1)
  2. use ((Button)______) to cast the View as a Button
  3. Call .GetText() to get the text entry from Button
  4. Call .toString() to convert the Character Varying to a String
  5. Call .ReplaceAll() with "[\\D]" to replace all Non Digit Characters with "" (nothing)
  6. Call Integer.parseInt() grab and return an integer out of the Digit-only string.

Parsing XML with namespace in Python via 'ElementTree'

ElementTree is not too smart about namespaces. You need to give the .find(), findall() and iterfind() methods an explicit namespace dictionary. This is not documented very well:

namespaces = {'owl': 'http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#'} # add more as needed

root.findall('owl:Class', namespaces)

Prefixes are only looked up in the namespaces parameter you pass in. This means you can use any namespace prefix you like; the API splits off the owl: part, looks up the corresponding namespace URL in the namespaces dictionary, then changes the search to look for the XPath expression {http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl}Class instead. You can use the same syntax yourself too of course:

root.findall('{http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#}Class')

If you can switch to the lxml library things are better; that library supports the same ElementTree API, but collects namespaces for you in a .nsmap attribute on elements.

Can't install any packages in Node.js using "npm install"

npm set registry http://85.10.209.91/

The other solutions seem to have outdated versions.

How do you write multiline strings in Go?

Go and multiline strings

Using back ticks you can have multiline strings:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    message := `This is a 
Multi-line Text String
Because it uses the raw-string back ticks 
instead of quotes.
`

    fmt.Printf("%s", message)
}

Instead of using either the double quote (“) or single quote symbols (‘), instead use back-ticks to define the start and end of the string. You can then wrap it across lines.

If you indent the string though, remember that the white space will count.

Please check the playground and do experiments with it.

Relative imports for the billionth time

This is really a problem within python. The origin of confusion is that people mistakenly takes the relative import as path relative which is not.

For example when you write in faa.py:

from .. import foo

This has a meaning only if faa.py was identified and loaded by python, during execution, as a part of a package. In that case,the module's name for faa.py would be for example some_packagename.faa. If the file was loaded just because it is in the current directory, when python is run, then its name would not refer to any package and eventually relative import would fail.

A simple solution to refer modules in the current directory, is to use this:

if __package__ is None or __package__ == '':
    # uses current directory visibility
    import foo
else:
    # uses current package visibility
    from . import foo

How to generate UL Li list from string array using jquery?

Other variation of Abhishek Bhalani: You can use Array.map() instead of $.each()

var items = ['United States', 'Canada', 'Argentina', 'Armenia'];
var cList = $('ul.mylist');
items.map( (item,i ) => {
      var li = $('<li/>')
        .addClass('ui-menu-item')
        .attr('role', 'menuitem')
        .appendTo(cList);
      $('<a class="ui-all">'+ i + ': ' + item.name + '<a/>')
        .appendTo(li);
    });

Sum a list of numbers in Python

You can try this way:

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
sm = sum(a[0:len(a)]) # Sum of 'a' from 0 index to 9 index. sum(a) == sum(a[0:len(a)]
print(sm) # Python 3
print sm  # Python 2

Good examples using java.util.logging

SLF4J is a better logging facade than Apache Commons Logging (ACL). It has bridges to other logging frameworks, making direct calls to ACL, Log4J, or Java Util Logging go through SLF4J, so that you can direct all output to one log file if you wish, with just one log configuration file. Why would your application use multiple logging frameworks? Because 3rd-party libraries you use, especially older ones, probably do.

SLF4J supports various logging implementations. It can output everything to standard-out, use Log4J, or Logback (recommended over Log4J).

Why I get 411 Length required error?

When you make a POST HttpWebRequest, you must specify the length of the data you are sending, something like:

string data = "something you need to send"
byte[] postBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data);
request.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;

if you are not sending any data, just set it to 0, that means you just have to add to your code this line:

request.ContentLength = 0;

Usually, if you are not sending any data, chosing the GET method instead is wiser, as you can see in the HTTP RFC

DLL References in Visual C++

  1. Make sure that you have both the *.lib and the *.dll from the library you want to use. If you don't have the *.lib, skip #2

  2. Put a reference to the *.lib in the project. Right click the project name in the Solution Explorer and then select Configuration Properties->Linker->Input and put the name of the lib in the Additional Dependencies property.

  3. You have to make sure that VS can find the lib you just added so you have to go to the Tools menu and select Options... Then under Projects and Solutions select VC++ Directories,edit Library Directory option. From within here you can set the directory that contains your new lib by selecting the 'Library Files' in the 'Show Directories For:' drop down box. Just add the path to your lib file in the list of directories. If you dont have a lib you can omit this, but while your here you will also need to set the directory which contains your header files as well under the 'Include Files'. Do it the same way you added the lib.

After doing this you should be good to go and can use your library. If you dont have a lib file you can still use the dll by importing it yourself. During your applications startup you can explicitly load the dll by calling LoadLibrary (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684175(VS.85).aspx for more info)

Cheers!

EDIT

Remember to use #include < Foo.h > as opposed to #include "foo.h". The former searches the include path. The latter uses the local project files.

com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries

You can find the library pulling this dependancy using:

$ ./gradlew app:dependencies

Is there a way to define a min and max value for EditText in Android?

Very simple example on Kotlin:

import android.text.InputFilter
import android.text.Spanned

class InputFilterRange(private var range: IntRange) : InputFilter {

    override fun filter(source: CharSequence, start: Int, end: Int, dest: Spanned, dstart: Int, dend: Int) = try {
        val input = Integer.parseInt(dest.toString() + source.toString())
        if (range.contains(input)) null else ""
    } catch (nfe: NumberFormatException) {
        ""
    }
}

How do I format date and time on ssrs report?

In SSRS 2016 There is an option under the properties header "Localization" called "Calendar", if you click on this it gives you these 2 options:

  • Gregorian (dd/mm/yyyy)
  • GregorianUSEnglish (MM/dd/yyyy)

This works brilliantly when referencing data from a tables aswell

alternatively if this does not work for you, specify one of these formats under "Number" and in the cell "Format":

dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy

What does ^M character mean in Vim?

Unix uses 0xA for a newline character. Windows uses a combination of two characters: 0xD 0xA. 0xD is the carriage return character. ^M happens to be the way vim displays 0xD (0x0D = 13, M is the 13th letter in the English alphabet).

You can remove all the ^M characters by running the following:

:%s/^M//g

Where ^M is entered by holding down Ctrl and typing v followed by m, and then releasing Ctrl. This is sometimes abbreviated as ^V^M, but note that you must enter it as described in the previous sentence, rather than typing it out literally.

This expression will replace all occurrences of ^M with the empty string (i.e. nothing). I use this to get rid of ^M in files copied from Windows to Unix (Solaris, Linux, OSX).

C++ floating point to integer type conversions

I believe you can do this using a cast:

float f_val = 3.6f;
int i_val = (int) f_val;

Difference between \w and \b regular expression meta characters

\b <= this is a word boundary.

Matches at a position that is followed by a word character but not preceded by a word character, or that is preceded by a word character but not followed by a word character.

\w <= stands for "word character". 

It always matches the ASCII characters [A-Za-z0-9_]

Is there anything specific you are trying to match?

Get WooCommerce product categories from WordPress

Improving Suman.hassan95's answer by adding a link to subcategory as well. Replace the following code:

$sub_cats = get_categories( $args2 );
    if($sub_cats) {
        foreach($sub_cats as $sub_category) {
            echo  $sub_category->name ;
        }

    }

with:

$sub_cats = get_categories( $args2 );
            if($sub_cats) {
                foreach($sub_cats as $sub_category) {
                    echo  '<br/><a href="'. get_term_link($sub_category->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $sub_category->name .'</a>';
                }
            }

or if you also wish a counter for each subcategory, replace with this:

$sub_cats = get_categories( $args2 );
            if($sub_cats) {
                foreach($sub_cats as $sub_category) {
                    echo  '<br/><a href="'. get_term_link($sub_category->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $sub_category->name .'</a>';
                    echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_subcategory_count_html', ' <span class="cat-count">' . $sub_category->count . '</span>', $category );
                }
            }

Add a "sort" to a =QUERY statement in Google Spreadsheets

Sorting by C and D needs to be put into number form for the corresponding column, ie 3 and 4, respectively. Eg Order By 2 asc")

What are WSDL, SOAP and REST?

Wikipedia says "The Web Services Description Language is an XML-based language that provides a model for describing Web services". Put another way, WSDL is to a web service, as javadoc is to a java library.

The really sweet thing about WSDL, though, is that software can generate a client and server using WSDL.

How to configure port for a Spring Boot application

There are three ways to do it depending on the application configuration file you are using

a) If you are using application.properties file set

server.port = 8090

b) If you are using application.yml file set server port property in YAML format as given below

server:
     port: 8090

c) You can also Set the property as the System property in the main method

System.setProperty("server.port","8090");

PHP: HTML: send HTML select option attribute in POST

You will have to use JavaScript. The browser will only send the value of the selected option (so its not PHP's fault).

What your JS should do is hook into the form's submit event and create a hidden field with the value of the selected option's stud_name value. This hidden field will then get sent to the server.

That being said ... you shouldn't relay on the client to provide the correct data. You already know what stud_name should be for a given value on the server (since you are outputting it). So just apply the same logic when you are processing the form.

If "0" then leave the cell blank

You can change the number format of the column to this custom format:

0;-0;;@

which will hide all 0 values.

To do this, select the column, right-click > Format Cells > Custom.

How to efficiently remove duplicates from an array without using Set

I have done using sample as 12 elements,

public class Remdup_arr {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    int a[] = {1,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,6,8};
    for(int p : a)
    {
        System.out.print(p);
        System.out.print("\t");
    }

    System.out.println();
    System.out.println();

    remdup(a);

}

private static void remdup(int[] a) {

    int length = a.length;
    int b[] = new int[11];
    int d = 1;
    b[0]=a[0];
    while(length<13 && length>0)
    {
        int x = a[length-1];
        if(!(contain(b , x)))
            {b[d] = a[length-1];
            d++;}
        length--;


    }

    for( int z = 0;z<b.length;z++){
        System.out.print(b[z]);
        System.out.print("\t");}

}

private static boolean contain(int[] b ,int p) {

    boolean bool = false;
    int len = b.length;
    for(int i = 0;i<len;i++)
    {
        if(p == b[i])
            bool = true;
    }



    return bool;

}

}

output is :- 1 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 6 8

1 8 6 7 5 4 3 2 0 0 0
