Store boolean value in SQLite

using the Integer data type with values 0 and 1 is the fastest.

What Regex would capture everything from ' mark to the end of a line?

'.*$

Starting with a single quote ('), match any character (.) zero or more times (*) until the end of the line ($).

MatPlotLib: Multiple datasets on the same scatter plot

I came across this question as I had exact same problem. Although accepted answer works good but with matplotlib version 2.1.0, it is pretty straight forward to have two scatter plots in one plot without using a reference to Axes

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.scatter(x,y, c='b', marker='x', label='1')
plt.scatter(x, y, c='r', marker='s', label='-1')
plt.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.show()

Concat a string to SELECT * MySql

You simply can't do that in SQL. You have to explicitly list the fields and concat each one:

SELECT CONCAT(field1, '/'), CONCAT(field2, '/'), ... FROM `socials` WHERE 1

If you are using an app, you can use SQL to read the column names, and then use your app to construct a query like above. See this stackoverflow question to find the column names: Get table column names in mysql?

Load a UIView from nib in Swift

Tested in Xcode 7 beta 4 , Swift 2.0 and iOS9 SDK . The following code will assign xib to the uiview. You can able to use this custom xib view in storyboard and access the IBOutlet object also.

import UIKit

@IBDesignable class SimpleCustomView:UIView
{
    var view:UIView!;

    @IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!

   @IBInspectable var lblTitleText : String?
        {
        get{
            return lblTitle.text;
        }
        set(lblTitleText)
        {
            lblTitle.text = lblTitleText!;
        }
    }

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        loadViewFromNib ()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        loadViewFromNib ()
    }
    func loadViewFromNib() {
        let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
        let nib = UINib(nibName: "SimpleCustomView", bundle: bundle)
        let view = nib.instantiateWithOwner(self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView
        view.frame = bounds
        view.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
        self.addSubview(view);



    }


}

Access customview programatically

self.customView =  SimpleCustomView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 200))
        self.view.addSubview(self.customView!);

how to get the ipaddress of a virtual box running on local machine

Login to virtual machine use below command to check ip address. (anyone will work)

  1. ifconfig
  2. ip addr show

If you used NAT for your virtual machine settings(your machine ip will be 10.0.2.15), then you have to use port forwarding to connect to machine. IP address will be 127.0.0.1

If you used bridged networking/Host only networking, then you will have separate Ip address. Use that IP address to connect virtual machine

How to input a regex in string.replace?

I would go like this (regex explained in comments):

import re

# If you need to use the regex more than once it is suggested to compile it.
pattern = re.compile(r"</{0,}\[\d+>")

# <\/{0,}\[\d+>
# 
# Match the character “<” literally «<»
# Match the character “/” literally «\/{0,}»
#    Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «{0,}»
# Match the character “[” literally «\[»
# Match a single digit 0..9 «\d+»
#    Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «+»
# Match the character “>” literally «>»

subject = """this is a paragraph with<[1> in between</[1> and then there are cases ... where the<[99> number ranges from 1-100</[99>. 
and there are many other lines in the txt files
with<[3> such tags </[3>"""

result = pattern.sub("", subject)

print(result)

If you want to learn more about regex I recomend to read Regular Expressions Cookbook by Jan Goyvaerts and Steven Levithan.

How can I connect to MySQL in Python 3 on Windows?

On my mac os maverick i try this:

After that, enter in the python3 interpreter and type:

  1. import pymysql. If there is no error your installation is ok. For verification write a script to connect to mysql with this form:

  2. # a simple script for MySQL connection import pymysql db = pymysql.connect(host="localhost", user="root", passwd="*", db="biblioteca") #Sure, this is information for my db # close the connection db.close ()*

Give it a name ("con.py" for example) and save it on desktop. In Terminal type "cd desktop" and then $python con.py If there is no error, you are connected with MySQL server. Good luck!

Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection? Exception

HERE A VERY IMPORTANT ANSWER:

You just change your API URL String (in your method) from https to http.. This could also be the cause:

client.resource("http://192.168.0.100:8023/jaxrs/tester/tester");

instead of

client.resource("https://192.168.0.100:8023/jaxrs/tester/tester");

how do I set height of container DIV to 100% of window height?

I've been thinking over this and experimenting with height of the elements: html, body and div. Finally I came up with the code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<!DOCTYPE html>_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
<head>_x000D_
<meta charset="utf-8" />_x000D_
<title>Height question</title>_x000D_
<style>_x000D_
 html {height: 50%; border: solid red 3px; }_x000D_
 body {height: 70vh; border: solid green 3px; padding: 12pt; }_x000D_
 div {height: 90vh; border: solid blue 3px; padding: 24pt; }_x000D_
 _x000D_
</style>_x000D_
</head>_x000D_
<body>_x000D_
_x000D_
 <div id="container">_x000D_
  <p>&lt;html&gt; is red</p>_x000D_
  <p>&lt;body&gt; is green</p>_x000D_
  <p>&lt;div&gt; is blue</p>_x000D_
 </div>_x000D_
_x000D_
</body>_x000D_
</html>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

With my browser (Firefox 65@mint 64), all three elements are of 1) different height, 2) every one is longer, than the previous (html is 50%, body is 70vh, and div 90vh). I also checked the styles without the height with respect to the html and body tags. Worked fine, too.

A note about the viewport: " Viewport = the browser window size. If the viewport is 50cm wide, 1vw = 0.5cm."

FULL OUTER JOIN vs. FULL JOIN

It's true that some databases recognize the OUTER keyword. Some do not. Where it is recognized, it is usually an optional keyword. Almost always, FULL JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN do exactly the same thing. (I can't think of an example where they do not. Can anyone else think of one?)

This may leave you wondering, "Why would it even be a keyword if it has no meaning?" The answer boils down to programming style.

In the old days, programmers strived to make their code as compact as possible. Every character meant longer processing time. We used 1, 2, and 3 letter variables. We used 2 digit years. We eliminated all unnecessary white space. Some people still program that way. It's not about processing time anymore. It's more about fast coding.

Modern programmers are learning to use more descriptive variables and put more remarks and documentation into their code. Using extra words like OUTER make sure that other people who read the code will have an easier time understanding it. There will be less ambiguity. This style is much more readable and kinder to the people in the future who will have to maintain that code.

Submitting HTML form using Jquery AJAX

Quick Description of AJAX

AJAX is simply Asyncronous JSON or XML (in most newer situations JSON). Because we are doing an ASYNC task we will likely be providing our users with a more enjoyable UI experience. In this specific case we are doing a FORM submission using AJAX.

Really quickly there are 4 general web actions GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE; these directly correspond with SELECT/Retreiving DATA, INSERTING DATA, UPDATING/UPSERTING DATA, and DELETING DATA. A default HTML/ASP.Net webform/PHP/Python or any other form action is to "submit" which is a POST action. Because of this the below will all describe doing a POST. Sometimes however with http you might want a different action and would likely want to utilitize .ajax.

My code specifically for you (described in code comments):

_x000D_
_x000D_
/* attach a submit handler to the form */
$("#formoid").submit(function(event) {

  /* stop form from submitting normally */
  event.preventDefault();

  /* get the action attribute from the <form action=""> element */
  var $form = $(this),
    url = $form.attr('action');

  /* Send the data using post with element id name and name2*/
  var posting = $.post(url, {
    name: $('#name').val(),
    name2: $('#name2').val()
  });

  /* Alerts the results */
  posting.done(function(data) {
    $('#result').text('success');
  });
  posting.fail(function() {
    $('#result').text('failed');
  });
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<form id="formoid" action="studentFormInsert.php" title="" method="post">
  <div>
    <label class="title">First Name</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
  </div>
  <div>
    <label class="title">Last Name</label>
    <input type="text" id="name2" name="name2">
  </div>
  <div>
    <input type="submit" id="submitButton" name="submitButton" value="Submit">
  </div>
</form>

<div id="result"></div>

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application with JDK 11

This worked for me:

File >> Project Structure >> Modules >> Dependency >> + (on left-side of window)

clicking the "+" sign will let you designate the directory where you have unpacked JavaFX's "lib" folder.

Scope is Compile (which is the default.) You can then edit this to call it JavaFX by double-clicking on the line.

then in:

Run >> Edit Configurations

Add this line to VM Options:

--module-path /path/to/JavaFX/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls

(oh and don't forget to set the SDK)

Create a branch in Git from another branch

For creating a branch from another one can use this syntax as well:

git push origin refs/heads/<sourceBranch>:refs/heads/<targetBranch>

It is a little shorter than "git checkout -b " + "git push origin "

Mockito, JUnit and Spring

The introduction of some new testing facilities in Spring 4.2.RC1 lets one write Spring integration tests that don't rely on the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. Check out this part of the documentation.

In your case you could write your Spring integration test and still use mocks like this:

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("test-app-ctx.xml")
public class FooTest {

    @ClassRule
    public static final SpringClassRule SPRING_CLASS_RULE = new SpringClassRule();

    @Rule
    public final SpringMethodRule springMethodRule = new SpringMethodRule();

    @Autowired
    @InjectMocks
    TestTarget sut;

    @Mock
    Foo mockFoo;

    @Test
    public void someTest() {
         // ....
    }
}

How can I easily convert DataReader to List<T>?

Obviously @Ian Ringrose's central thesis that you should be using a library for this is the best single answer here (hence a +1), but for minimal throwaway or demo code here's a concrete illustration of @SLaks's subtle comment on @Jon Skeet's more granular (+1'd) answer:

public List<XXX> Load( <<args>> )
{
    using ( var connection = CreateConnection() )
    using ( var command = Create<<ListXXX>>Command( <<args>>, connection ) )
    {
        connection.Open();
        using ( var reader = command.ExecuteReader() )
            return reader.Cast<IDataRecord>()
                .Select( x => new XXX( x.GetString( 0 ), x.GetString( 1 ) ) )
                .ToList();
    }
}

As in @Jon Skeet's answer, the

            .Select( x => new XXX( x.GetString( 0 ), x.GetString( 1 ) ) )

bit can be extracted into a helper (I like to dump them in the query class):

    public static XXX FromDataRecord( this IDataRecord record)
    {
        return new XXX( record.GetString( 0 ), record.GetString( 1 ) );
    }

and used as:

            .Select( FromDataRecord )

Formatting a number with exactly two decimals in JavaScript

Put the following in some global scope:

Number.prototype.getDecimals = function ( decDigCount ) {
   return this.toFixed(decDigCount);
}

and then try:

var a = 56.23232323;
a.getDecimals(2); // will return 56.23

Update

Note that toFixed() can only work for the number of decimals between 0-20 i.e. a.getDecimals(25) may generate a javascript error, so to accomodate that you may add some additional check i.e.

Number.prototype.getDecimals = function ( decDigCount ) {
   return ( decDigCount > 20 ) ? this : this.toFixed(decDigCount);
}

In Python, how do I create a string of n characters in one line of code?

This might be a little off the question, but for those interested in the randomness of the generated string, my answer would be:

import os
import string

def _pwd_gen(size=16):
    chars = string.letters
    chars_len = len(chars)
    return str().join(chars[int(ord(c) / 256. * chars_len)] for c in os.urandom(size))

See these answers and random.py's source for more insight.

How to validate an email address in JavaScript

I'd like to add a short note about non-ASCII characters. Rnevius's (and co.) solution is brilliant, but it allows to add Cyrillic, Japanese, Emoticons and other unicode symbols which may be restricted by some servers.

The code below will print true though it contains UTF-8 character ?.

_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log (/^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/.test ('[email protected]'))
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

In my case all non-ASCII symbols are prohibited so I have modified the original expression to exclude all characters above U+007F:

_x000D_
_x000D_
/^(([^\u0080-\uffff<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^\u0080-\uffff<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Maybe this will help someone to prevent undesired behaviour.

What exactly does stringstream do?

From C++ Primer:

The istringstream type reads a string, ostringstream writes a string, and stringstream reads and writes the string.

I come across some cases where it is both convenient and concise to use stringstream.

case 1

It is from one of the solutions for this leetcode problem. It demonstrates a very suitable case where the use of stringstream is efficient and concise.

Suppose a and b are complex numbers expressed in string format, we want to get the result of multiplication of a and b also in string format. The code is as follows:

string a = "1+2i", b = "1+3i";
istringstream sa(a), sb(b);
ostringstream out;

int ra, ia, rb, ib;
char buff;
// only read integer values to get the real and imaginary part of 
// of the original complex number
sa >> ra >> buff >> ia >> buff;
sb >> rb >> buff >> ib >> buff;

out << ra*rb-ia*ib << '+' << ra*ib+ia*rb << 'i';

// final result in string format
string result = out.str() 

case 2

It is also from a leetcode problem that requires you to simplify the given path string, one of the solutions using stringstream is the most elegant that I have seen:

string simplifyPath(string path) {
    string res, tmp;
    vector<string> stk;
    stringstream ss(path);
    while(getline(ss,tmp,'/')) {
        if (tmp == "" or tmp == ".") continue;
        if (tmp == ".." and !stk.empty()) stk.pop_back();
        else if (tmp != "..") stk.push_back(tmp);
    }
    for(auto str : stk) res += "/"+str;
    return res.empty() ? "/" : res; 
 }

Without the use of stringstream, it would be difficult to write such concise code.

What is Parse/parsing?

You could say that parsing a string of characters is analyzing this string to find tokens, or items and then create a structure from the result.

In your example, calling Integer.parseInt on a string is parsing this string to find an integer.

So, if you have:

String someString = "123";

And then you invoke:

int i = Integer.parseInt( someString );

You're telling java to analyze the "123" string and find an integer there.

Other example:

One of the actions the java compiler does, when it compiles your source code is to "parse" your .java file and create tokens that match the java grammar.

When you fail to write the source code properly ( for instance forget to add a ; at the end of a statement ), it is the parser who identifies the error.

Here's more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse

VBA general way for pulling data out of SAP

This all depends on what sort of access you have to your SAP system. An ABAP program that exports the data and/or an RFC that your macro can call to directly get the data or have SAP create the file is probably best.

However as a general rule people looking for this sort of answer are looking for an immediate solution that does not require their IT department to spend months customizing their SAP system.

In that case you probably want to use SAP GUI Scripting. SAP GUI scripting allows you to automate the Windows SAP GUI in much the same way as you automate Excel. In fact you can call the SAP GUI directly from an Excel macro. Read up more on it here. The SAP GUI has a macro recording tool much like Excel does. It records macros in VBScript which is nearly identical to Excel VBA and can usually be copied and pasted into an Excel macro directly.

Example Code

Here is a simple example based on a SAP system I have access to.

Public Sub SimpleSAPExport()
  Set SapGuiAuto  = GetObject("SAPGUI") 'Get the SAP GUI Scripting object
  Set SAPApp = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine 'Get the currently running SAP GUI 
  Set SAPCon = SAPApp.Children(0) 'Get the first system that is currently connected
  Set session = SAPCon.Children(0) 'Get the first session (window) on that connection

  'Start the transaction to view a table
  session.StartTransaction "SE16"

  'Select table T001
  session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDATABROWSE-TABLENAME").Text = "T001"
  session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[7]").Press

  'Set our selection criteria
  session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtMAX_SEL").text = "2"
  session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").press

  'Click the export to file button
  session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[45]").press

  'Choose the export format
  session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_STEPLOOP:SAPLSPO5:0150/sub:SAPLSPO5:0150/radSPOPLI-SELFLAG[1,0]").select
  session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press

  'Choose the export filename
  session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_FILENAME").text = "test.txt"
  session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_PATH").text = "C:\Temp\"

  'Export the file
  session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
End Sub

Script Recording

To help find the names of elements such aswnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0] you can use script recording. Click the customize local layout button, it probably looks a bit like this: Customize Local Layout
Then find the Script Recording and Playback menu item.
Script Recording and Playback
Within that the More button allows you to see/change the file that the VB Script is recorded to. The output format is a bit messy, it records things like selecting text, clicking inside a text field, etc.

Edit: Early and Late binding

The provided script should work if copied directly into a VBA macro. It uses late binding, the line Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI") defines the SapGuiAuto object.

If however you want to use early binding so that your VBA editor might show the properties and methods of the objects you are using, you need to add a reference to sapfewse.ocx in the SAP GUI installation folder.

How to call function of one php file from another php file and pass parameters to it?

file1.php

<?php

    function func1($param1, $param2)
    {
        echo $param1 . ', ' . $param2;
    }

file2.php

<?php

    require_once('file1.php');

    func1('Hello', 'world');

Invoke-WebRequest, POST with parameters

For some picky web services, the request needs to have the content type set to JSON and the body to be a JSON string. For example:

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://example.com/service -ContentType "application/json" -Method POST -Body "{ 'ItemID':3661515, 'Name':'test'}"

or the equivalent for XML, etc.

How to use SortedMap interface in Java?

I would use TreeMap, which implements SortedMap. It is designed exactly for that.

Example:

Map<Integer, String> map = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();

// Add Items to the TreeMap
map.put(1, "One");
map.put(2, "Two");
map.put(3, "Three");

// Iterate over them
for (Map.Entry<Integer, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " => " + entry.getValue());
}

See the Java tutorial page for SortedMap.
And here a list of tutorials related to TreeMap.

Cannot use string offset as an array in php

I just want to explain my solving for the same problem.

my code before(given same error):

$arr2= ""; // this is the problem and solve by replace this $arr2 = array();
for($i=2;$i<count($arrdata);$i++){
    $rowx = explode(" ",$arrdata[$i]);
    $arr1= ""; // and this is too
    for($x=0;$x<count($rowx);$x++){
        if($rowx[$x]!=""){
            $arr1[] = $rowx[$x];
        }
    }
    $arr2[] = $arr1;
}
for($i=0;$i<count($arr2);$i++){
    $td .="<tr>";
    for($j=0;$j<count($hcol)-1;$j++){
        $td .= "<td style='border-right:0px solid #000'>".$arr2[$i][$j]."</td>"; //and it's($arr2[$i][$j]) give an error: Cannot use string offset as an array
    }
    $td .="</tr>";
}

my code after and solved it:

$arr2= array(); //change this from $arr2="";
for($i=2;$i<count($arrdata);$i++){
    $rowx = explode(" ",$arrdata[$i]);
    $arr1=array(); //and this
    for($x=0;$x<count($rowx);$x++){
        if($rowx[$x]!=""){
            $arr1[] = $rowx[$x];
        }
    }
    $arr2[] = $arr1;
}

}

Thank's. Hope it's helped, and sorry if my english mess like boy's room :D

How to construct a relative path in Java from two absolute paths (or URLs)?

My version is loosely based on Matt and Steve's versions:

/**
 * Returns the path of one File relative to another.
 *
 * @param target the target directory
 * @param base the base directory
 * @return target's path relative to the base directory
 * @throws IOException if an error occurs while resolving the files' canonical names
 */
 public static File getRelativeFile(File target, File base) throws IOException
 {
   String[] baseComponents = base.getCanonicalPath().split(Pattern.quote(File.separator));
   String[] targetComponents = target.getCanonicalPath().split(Pattern.quote(File.separator));

   // skip common components
   int index = 0;
   for (; index < targetComponents.length && index < baseComponents.length; ++index)
   {
     if (!targetComponents[index].equals(baseComponents[index]))
       break;
   }

   StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
   if (index != baseComponents.length)
   {
     // backtrack to base directory
     for (int i = index; i < baseComponents.length; ++i)
       result.append(".." + File.separator);
   }
   for (; index < targetComponents.length; ++index)
     result.append(targetComponents[index] + File.separator);
   if (!target.getPath().endsWith("/") && !target.getPath().endsWith("\\"))
   {
     // remove final path separator
     result.delete(result.length() - File.separator.length(), result.length());
   }
   return new File(result.toString());
 }

Installing Pandas on Mac OSX

Try

pip3 install pandas 

from terminal. Maybe your original pip install pandas is referencing anaconda distribution

JavaScript TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null

In your script, this part:

document.getElementById('Noite')

must be returning null and you are also attempting to set the display property to an invalid value. There are a couple of possible reasons for this first part to be null.

  1. You are running the script too early before the document has been loaded and thus the Noite item can't be found.

  2. There is no Noite item in your HTML.

I should point out that your use of document.write() in this case code probably signifies a problem. If the document has already loaded, then a new document.write() will clear the old content and start a new fresh document so no Noite item would be found.

If your document has not yet been loaded and thus you're doing document.write() inline to add HTML inline to the current document, then your document has not yet been fully loaded so that's probably why it can't find the Noite item.

The solution is probably to put this part of your script at the very end of your document so everything before it has already been loaded. So move this to the end of your body:

document.getElementById('Noite').style.display='block';

And, make sure that there are no document.write() statements in javascript after the document has been loaded (because they will clear the previous document and start a new one).


In addition, setting the display property to "display" doesn't make sense to me. The valid options for that are "block", "inline", "none", "table", etc... I'm not aware of any option named "display" for that style property. See here for valid options for teh display property.

You can see the fixed code work here in this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/yVJY4/. That jsFiddle is configured to have the javascript placed at the end of the document body so it runs after the document has been loaded.


P.S. I should point out that your lack of braces for your if statements and your inclusion of multiple statements on the same line makes your code very misleading and unclear.


I'm having a really hard time figuring out what you're asking, but here's a cleaned up version of your code that works which you can also see working here: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/QCxwr/. Here's a list of the changes I made:

  1. The script is located in the body, but after the content that it is referencing.
  2. I've added var declarations to your variables (a good habit to always use).
  3. The if statement was changed into an if/else which is a lot more efficient and more self-documenting as to what you're doing.
  4. I've added braces for every if statement so it absolutely clear which statements are part of the if/else and which are not.
  5. I've properly closed the </dd> tag you were inserting.
  6. I've changed style.display = ''; to style.display = 'block';.
  7. I've added semicolons at the end of every statement (another good habit to follow).

The code:

<div id="Night" style="display: none;">
    <img src="Img/night.png" style="position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 5%; height: auto; width: 100%; z-index: -2147483640;">
    <img src="Img/moon.gif" style="position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 5%; height: 100%; width: auto; z-index: -2147483639;">
</div>

    document.write("&nbsp;Bom final<br>&nbsp;de tarde!");
} else if (hr == 20) {
    document.write("&nbsp;Boa Noite"); 
    document.getElementById('Noite').style.display='block';
} else if (hr == 21) {
    document.write("&nbsp;Boa Noite"); 
    document.getElementById('Noite').style.display='none';
} else if (hr == 22) {

Android - Using Custom Font

Since I was not satisfied with all the presented solutions on SO, I've come up with mine. It's based on a little trick with tags (i.e. you can't use tags in your code), I put the font path there. So when defining views, you can do either this:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewHello1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World 1"
        android:tag="fonts/Oswald-Regular.ttf"/>

or this:

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewHello2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World 2"
        style="@style/OswaldTextAppearance"/>

<style name="OswaldTextAppearance">
        <item name="android:tag">fonts/Oswald-Regular.ttf</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
</style>

Now you can either explicitly access / setup the view as:

TextView textView = TextViewHelper.setupTextView(this, R.id.textViewHello1).setText("blah");

or just setup everything via:

TextViewHelper.setupTextViews(this, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.parentLayout)); // parentLayout is the root view group (relative layout in my case)

And what is the magic class you ask? Mostly glued from another SO posts, with helper methods for both activity and fragments:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class TextViewHelper {
    private static final Map<String, Typeface> mFontCache = new HashMap<>();

    private static Typeface getTypeface(Context context, String fontPath) {
        Typeface typeface;
        if (mFontCache.containsKey(fontPath)) {
            typeface = mFontCache.get(fontPath);
        } else {
            typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fontPath);
            mFontCache.put(fontPath, typeface);
        }
        return typeface;
    }

    public static void setupTextViews(Context context, ViewGroup parent) {
        for (int i = parent.getChildCount() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            final View child = parent.getChildAt(i);
            if (child instanceof ViewGroup) {
                setupTextViews(context, (ViewGroup) child);
            } else {
                if (child != null) {
                    TextViewHelper.setupTextView(context, child);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static void setupTextView(Context context, View view) {
        if (view instanceof TextView) {
            if (view.getTag() != null) // also inherited from TextView's style
            {
                TextView textView = (TextView) view;
                String fontPath = (String) textView.getTag();
                Typeface typeface = getTypeface(context, fontPath);
                if (typeface != null) {
                    textView.setTypeface(typeface);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static TextView setupTextView(View rootView, int id) {
        TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(id);
        setupTextView(rootView.getContext().getApplicationContext(), textView);
        return textView;
    }

    public static TextView setupTextView(Activity activity, int id) {
        TextView textView = (TextView) activity.findViewById(id);
        setupTextView(activity.getApplicationContext(), textView);
        return textView;
    }
}

Command to close an application of console?

By close, do you mean you want the current instance of the console app to close, or do you want the application process, to terminate? Missed that all important exit code:

Environment.Exit(0);

Or to close the current instance of the form:

this.Close();

Useful link.

Remove an onclick listener

Note that if a view is non-clickable (a TextView for example), setting setOnClickListener(null) will mean the view is clickable. Use mMyView.setClickable(false) if you don't want your view to be clickable. For example, if you use a xml drawable for the background, which shows different colours for different states, if your view is still clickable, users can click on it and the different background colour will show, which may look weird.

How to write DataFrame to postgres table?

Pandas 0.24.0+ solution

In Pandas 0.24.0 a new feature was introduced specifically designed for fast writes to Postgres. You can learn more about it here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/io.html#io-sql-method

import csv
from io import StringIO

from sqlalchemy import create_engine

def psql_insert_copy(table, conn, keys, data_iter):
    # gets a DBAPI connection that can provide a cursor
    dbapi_conn = conn.connection
    with dbapi_conn.cursor() as cur:
        s_buf = StringIO()
        writer = csv.writer(s_buf)
        writer.writerows(data_iter)
        s_buf.seek(0)

        columns = ', '.join('"{}"'.format(k) for k in keys)
        if table.schema:
            table_name = '{}.{}'.format(table.schema, table.name)
        else:
            table_name = table.name

        sql = 'COPY {} ({}) FROM STDIN WITH CSV'.format(
            table_name, columns)
        cur.copy_expert(sql=sql, file=s_buf)

engine = create_engine('postgresql://myusername:mypassword@myhost:5432/mydatabase')
df.to_sql('table_name', engine, method=psql_insert_copy)

Unordered List (<ul>) default indent

Most html tags have some default properties. A css reset will help you change the default properties.

What I usually do is:

{ padding: 0; margin: 0; font-face:Arial; }

Although the font is up to you!

Specify an SSH key for git push for a given domain

I am using Git Bash on Win7. The following worked for me.

Create a config file at ~/.ssh/config or c:/users/[your_user_name]/.ssh/config. In the file enter:

Host your_host.com
     IdentityFile [absolute_path_to_your_.ssh]\id_rsa

I guess the host has to be a URL and not just a "name" or ref for your host. For example,

Host github.com
     IdentityFile c:/users/[user_name]/.ssh/id_rsa

The path can also be written in /c/users/[user_name]/.... format

The solution provided by Giordano Scalzo is great too. https://stackoverflow.com/a/9149518/1738546

Call a function on click event in Angular 2

Exact transfer to Angular2+ is as below:

<button (click)="myFunc()"></button>

also in your component file:

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  templateUrl:"button.html" //this is the component which has the above button html
})

export class App implements OnInit{
  constructor(){}

  ngOnInit(){

  }

  myFunc(){
    console.log("function called");
  }
}

java: How can I do dynamic casting of a variable from one type to another?

Don't do this. Just have a properly parameterized constructor instead. The set and types of the connection parameters are fixed anyway, so there is no point in doing this all dynamically.

Quicksort: Choosing the pivot

If you are sorting a random-accessible collection (like an array), it's general best to pick the physical middle item. With this, if the array is all ready sorted (or nearly sorted), the two partitions will be close to even, and you'll get the best speed.

If you are sorting something with only linear access (like a linked-list), then it's best to choose the first item, because it's the fastest item to access. Here, however,if the list is already sorted, you're screwed -- one partition will always be null, and the other have everything, producing the worst time.

However, for a linked-list, picking anything besides the first, will just make matters worse. It pick the middle item in a listed-list, you'd have to step through it on each partition step -- adding a O(N/2) operation which is done logN times making total time O(1.5 N *log N) and that's if we know how long the list is before we start -- usually we don't so we'd have to step all the way through to count them, then step half-way through to find the middle, then step through a third time to do the actual partition: O(2.5N * log N)

How to test if a string is JSON or not?

var parsedData;

try {
    parsedData = JSON.parse(data)
} catch (e) {
    // is not a valid JSON string
}

However, I will suggest to you that your http call / service should return always a data in the same format. So if you have an error, than you should have a JSON object that wrap this error:

{"error" : { "code" : 123, "message" : "Foo not supported" } } 

And maybe use as well as HTTP status a 5xx code.

Rotating and spacing axis labels in ggplot2

Change the last line to

q + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust=1))

By default, the axes are aligned at the center of the text, even when rotated. When you rotate +/- 90 degrees, you usually want it to be aligned at the edge instead:

alt text

Hashmap holding different data types as values for instance Integer, String and Object

You have some variables that are different types in Java language like that:

 message of type string
 timestamp of type time
 count of type integer
 version of type integer

If you use a HashMap like:

HashMap<String,Object> yourHash = new HashMap<String,Object>();
yourHash.put("message","message");
yourHash.put("timestamp",timestamp);
yourHash.put("count ",count);
yourHash.put("version ",version);

If you want to use the yourHash:

for(String key : yourHash.keySet()){
  String message = (String) yourHash.get(key);
  Datetime timestamp= (Datetime) yourHash.get(key);
  int timestamp= (int) yourHash.get(key);
}

how do I query sql for a latest record date for each user

I see most of the developers use an inline query without considering its impact on huge data.

Simply, you can achieve this by:

SELECT a.username, a.date, a.value
FROM myTable a
LEFT OUTER JOIN myTable b
ON a.username = b.username 
AND a.date < b.date
WHERE b.username IS NULL
ORDER BY a.date desc;

Converting string to tuple without splitting characters

You can just do (a,). No need to use a function. (Note that the comma is necessary.)

Essentially, tuple(a) means to make a tuple of the contents of a, not a tuple consisting of just a itself. The "contents" of a string (what you get when you iterate over it) are its characters, which is why it is split into characters.

Get time of specific timezone

If you know the UTC offset then you can pass it and get the time using the following function:

function calcTime(city, offset) {
    // create Date object for current location
    var d = new Date();

    // convert to msec
    // subtract local time zone offset
    // get UTC time in msec
    var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

    // create new Date object for different city
    // using supplied offset
    var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));

    // return time as a string
    return "The local time for city"+ city +" is "+ nd.toLocaleString();
}

alert(calcTime('Bombay', '+5.5'));

@Media min-width & max-width

I've found the best method is to write your default CSS for the older browsers, as older browsers including i.e. 5.5, 6, 7 and 8. Can't read @media. When I use @media I use it like this:

<style type="text/css">
    /* default styles here for older browsers. 
       I tend to go for a 600px - 960px width max but using percentages
    */
    @media only screen and (min-width: 960px) {
        /* styles for browsers larger than 960px; */
    }
    @media only screen and (min-width: 1440px) {
        /* styles for browsers larger than 1440px; */
    }
    @media only screen and (min-width: 2000px) {
        /* for sumo sized (mac) screens */
    }
    @media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
       /* styles for mobile browsers smaller than 480px; (iPhone) */
    }
    @media only screen and (device-width: 768px) {
       /* default iPad screens */
    }
    /* different techniques for iPad screening */
    @media only screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation:portrait) {
      /* For portrait layouts only */
    }

    @media only screen and (min-device-width: 481px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) and (orientation:landscape) {
      /* For landscape layouts only */
    }
</style>

But you can do whatever you like with your @media, This is just an example of what I've found best for me when building styles for all browsers.

iPad CSS specifications.

Also! If you're looking for printability you can use @media print{}

Parse query string into an array

There are several possible methods, but for you, there is already a builtin parse_str function

$array = array();
parse_str($string, $array);
var_dump($array);

Get free disk space

Check this out (this is a working solution for me)

public long AvailableFreeSpace()
{
    long longAvailableFreeSpace = 0;
    try{
        DriveInfo[] arrayOfDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
        foreach (var d in arrayOfDrives)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Drive {0}", d.Name);
            Console.WriteLine("  Drive type: {0}", d.DriveType);
            if (d.IsReady == true && d.Name == "/data")
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Volume label: {0}", d.VolumeLabel);
                Console.WriteLine("File system: {0}", d.DriveFormat);
                Console.WriteLine("AvailableFreeSpace for current user:{0, 15} bytes",d.AvailableFreeSpace);
                Console.WriteLine("TotalFreeSpace {0, 15} bytes",d.TotalFreeSpace);
                Console.WriteLine("Total size of drive: {0, 15} bytes \n",d.TotalSize);
                }
                longAvailableFreeSpaceInMB = d.TotalFreeSpace;
        }
    }
    catch(Exception ex){
        ServiceLocator.GetInsightsProvider()?.LogError(ex);
    }
    return longAvailableFreeSpace;
}

Making a Simple Ajax call to controller in asp.net mvc

It's for your UPDATE question.

Since you cannot have two methods with the same name and signature you have to use the ActionName attribute:

UPDATE:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult FirstAjax()
{
    Some Code--Some Code---Some Code
    return View();
}

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("FirstAjax")]
public ActionResult FirstAjaxPost()
{
    Some Code--Some Code---Some Code
    return View();
}

And please refer this link for further reference of how a method becomes an action. Very good reference though.

What is the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token exactly?

A bearer token is like a currency note e.g 100$ bill . One can use the currency note without being asked any/many questions.

Bearer Token A security token with the property that any party in possession of the token (a "bearer") can use the token in any way that any other party in possession of it can. Using a bearer token does not require a bearer to prove possession of cryptographic key material (proof-of-possession).

Valid content-type for XML, HTML and XHTML documents

XHTML: application/xhtml+xml, or only if following HTML compatbility guidelines, text/html. See the W3 Media Types Note.

XML: text/xml, application/xml (RFC 2376).

There are also many other media types based around XML, for example application/rss+xml or image/svg+xml. It's a safe bet that any unrecognised but registered ending in +xml is XML-based. See the IANA list for registered media types ending in +xml.

(For unregistered x- types, all bets are off, but you'd hope +xml would be respected.)

What is the difference between <section> and <div>?

In the HTML5 standard, the <section> element is defined as a block of related elements.

The <div> element is defined as a block of children elements.

regex with space and letters only?

Allowed only characters & spaces. Ex : Jayant Lonari

if (!/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/.test(NAME)) {
    //Throw Error
}

Which equals operator (== vs ===) should be used in JavaScript comparisons?

1 == "1"    =>    true(define)
true === "true"    => false(undefined compare the type of variable)
Case 1
if(true === "true"){
  echo 'true'
}else{
 echo 'false undefined'
}
Ans :- false undefined because case 1 is check data type also with ===  
Case 2
if(1 == "1"){
  echo 'true define'
}else{
 echo 'false undefined'
}
Ans :- true define undefined because case 2 is not check data type with ==

How to copy selected files from Android with adb pull

Pull multiple files using regex:

Create pullFiles.sh:

#!/bin/bash
HOST_DIR=<pull-to>
DEVICE_DIR=/sdcard/<pull-from>
EXTENSION=".jpg"

for file in $(adb shell ls $DEVICE_DIR | grep $EXTENSION'$')
do
    file=$(echo -e $file | tr -d "\r\n"); # EOL fix
    adb pull $DEVICE_DIR/$file $HOST_DIR/$file;
done

Run it:

Make it executable: chmod +x pullFiles.sh

Run it: ./pullFiles.sh

Notes:

  • as is, won't work when filenames have spaces
  • includes a fix for end-of-line (EOL) on Android, which is a "\r\n"

How to display a date as iso 8601 format with PHP

For pre PHP 5:

function iso8601($time=false) {
    if(!$time) $time=time();
    return date("Y-m-d", $time) . 'T' . date("H:i:s", $time) .'+00:00';
}

Read and write a String from text file

In the function example, (read|write)DocumentsFromFile(...) having some function wrappers certainly seems to makes sense since everything in OSx and iOS seems to need three or four major classes instantiated and a bunch of properties, configured, linked, instantiated, and set, just to write "Hi" to a file, in 182 countries.

However, these examples aren't complete enough to use in a real program. The write function does not report any errors creating or writing to the file. On the read, I don't think it's a good idea to return an error that the file doesn't exist as the string that is supposed to contain the data that was read. You would want to know that it failed and why, through some notification mechanism, like an exception. Then, you can write some code that outputs what the problem is and allows the user to correct it, or "correctly" breaks the program at that point.

You would not want to just return a string with an "Error file does not exist" in it. Then, you would have to look for the error in the string from calling function each time and handle it there. You also possibly couldn't really tell if the error string was actually read from an actual file, or if it was produced from your code.

You can't even call the read like this in swift 2.2 and Xcode 7.3 because NSString(contentsOfFile...) throws an exception. It is a compile time error if you do not have any code to catch it and do something with it, like print it to stdout, or better, an error popup window, or stderr. I have heard that Apple is moving away from try catch and exceptions, but it's going to be a long move and it's not possible to write code without this. I don't know where the &error argument comes from, perhaps an older version, but NSString.writeTo[File|URL] does not currently have an NSError argument. They are defined like this in NSString.h :

public func writeToURL(url: NSURL, atomically useAuxiliaryFile: Bool, encoding enc: UInt) throws
public func writeToFile(path: String, atomically useAuxiliaryFile: Bool, encoding enc: UInt) throws
public convenience init(contentsOfURL url: NSURL, encoding enc: UInt) throws
public convenience init(contentsOfFile path: String, encoding enc: UInt) throws

Also, the file not existing is just one of a number of potential problems your program might have reading a file, such as a permissions problem, the file size, or numerous other issues that you would not even want to try to code a handler for each one of them. It's best to just assume it's all correct and catch and print, or handle, an exception if something goes amiss, besides, at this point, you don't really have a choice anyway.

Here are my rewrites :

func writeToDocumentsFile(fileName:String,value:String) {

    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as NSString!
    let path = documentsPath.stringByAppendingPathComponent(fileName)

    do {
        try value.writeToFile(path, atomically: true, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
    } catch let error as NSError {
        print("ERROR : writing to file \(path) : \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }

}

func readFromDocumentsFile(fileName:String) -> String {

    let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0] as NSString
    let path = documentsPath.stringByAppendingPathComponent(fileName)

    var readText : String = ""

    do {
        try readText = NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as String
    }
    catch let error as NSError {
        print("ERROR : reading from file \(fileName) : \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
    return readText
}

Sort a list of Class Instances Python

import operator
sorted_x = sorted(x, key=operator.attrgetter('score'))

if you want to sort x in-place, you can also:

x.sort(key=operator.attrgetter('score'))

ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

This error can also appear when python versions are mixed:

For example if any of the DLL to be loaded has been compiled using python 2.7.16 and you try to import with python 2.7.15 this error ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. is thrown.

This is at least what I've found to be the problem in my case.

How to load up CSS files using Javascript?

Here's a way with jQuery's element creation method (my preference) and with callback onLoad:

var css = $("<link>", {
  "rel" : "stylesheet",
  "type" :  "text/css",
  "href" : "style.css"
})[0];

css.onload = function(){
  console.log("CSS IN IFRAME LOADED");
};

document
  .getElementsByTagName("head")[0]
  .appendChild(css);

What's the easy way to auto create non existing dir in ansible

If you are running Ansible >= 2.0 there is also the dirname filter you can use to extract the directory part of a path. That way you can just use one variable to hold the entire path to make sure both tasks never get out of sync.

So for example if you have playbook with dest_path defined in a variable like this you can reuse the same variable:

- name: My playbook
  vars:
    dest_path: /home/ubuntu/some_dir/some_file.txt
  tasks:

    - name: Make sure destination dir exists
      file:
        path: "{{ dest_path | dirname }}"
        state: directory
        recurse: yes

    # now this task is always save to run no matter how dest_path get's changed arround
    - name: Add file or template to remote instance
      template: 
        src: foo.txt.j2
        dest: "{{ dest_path }}"

submit the form using ajax

It's much easier to just use jQuery, since this is just a task for university and you do not need to save code.

So, your code will look like:

function sendMyComment() {
    $('#addComment').append('<input type="hidden" name="video_id" id="video_id" value="' + $('#video_id').text() + '"/><input type="hidden" name="video_time" id="video_time" value="' + $('#time').text() +'"/>');
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: $('#addComment').attr('action'),
        data: $('form').serialize(), 
        success: function(response) { ... },
    });

}

SQL update query using joins

If you are using SQL Server you can update one table from other table without specifying a join and simply link the two tables from the where clause. This makes a much simpler SQL query:

 UPDATE Table1
    SET Table1.col1 = Table2.col1,
        Table1.col2 = Table2.col2
    FROM
        Table2
    WHERE
        Table1.id = Table2.id

Spring JPA @Query with LIKE

This way works for me, (using Spring Boot version 2.0.1. RELEASE):

@Query("SELECT u.username FROM User u WHERE u.username LIKE %?1%")
List<String> findUsersWithPartOfName(@Param("username") String username);

Explaining: The ?1, ?2, ?3 etc. are place holders the first, second, third parameters, etc. In this case is enough to have the parameter is surrounded by % as if it was a standard SQL query but without the single quotes.

String is immutable. What exactly is the meaning?

String S1="abc";
S1.concat("xyz");
System.out.println("S1 is", + S1);
String S2=S1.concat("def");
System.out.println("S2 is", + S2);

This shows that once a string object is create it cannot be changed. EveryTime you need to create new and put in another String. S

What's is the difference between include and extend in use case diagram?

Also beware of the UML version : it's been a long time now that << uses >> and << includes >> have been replaced by << include >>, and << extends >> by << extend >> AND generalization.
For me that's often the misleading point : as an example the Stephanie's post and link is about an old version :

When paying for an item, you may choose to pay on delivery, pay using paypal or pay by card. These are all alternatives to the "pay for item" use case. I may choose any of these options depending on my preference.

In fact there is no really alternative to "pay for item" ! In nowadays UML, "pay on delivery" is an extend, and "pay using paypal"/"pay by card" are specializations.

Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both ... libinstrument.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined

Well, after some struggling, what worked for me was completely removing the current JDK, as described here:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchAgents/com.oracle.java.Java-Updater.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.oracle.java.JavaUpdateHelper
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.java.JavaUpdateHelper.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist

Then installed 1.7.0_21, which was downloaded from here.

Now java -version prompts:

java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

How to check if element exists using a lambda expression?

Try to use anyMatch of Lambda Expression. It is much better approach.

 boolean idExists = tabPane.getTabs().stream()
            .anyMatch(t -> t.getId().equals(idToCheck));

Execute the setInterval function without delay the first time

Here's a wrapper to pretty-fy it if you need it:

(function() {
    var originalSetInterval = window.setInterval;

    window.setInterval = function(fn, delay, runImmediately) {
        if(runImmediately) fn();
        return originalSetInterval(fn, delay);
    };
})();

Set the third argument of setInterval to true and it'll run for the first time immediately after calling setInterval:

setInterval(function() { console.log("hello world"); }, 5000, true);

Or omit the third argument and it will retain its original behaviour:

setInterval(function() { console.log("hello world"); }, 5000);

Some browsers support additional arguments for setInterval which this wrapper doesn't take into account; I think these are rarely used, but keep that in mind if you do need them.

Move all files except one

Put the following to your .bashrc

shopt -s extglob

It extends regexes. You can then move all files except one by

mv !(fileOne) ~/path/newFolder

Exceptions in relation to other commands

Note that, in copying directories, the forward-flash cannot be used in the name as noticed in the thread Why extglob except breaking except condition?:

cp -r !(Backups.backupdb) /home/masi/Documents/

so Backups.backupdb/ is wrong here before the negation and I would not use it neither in moving directories because of the risk of using wrongly then globs with other commands and possible other exceptions.

Constructors in Go

In Go, a constructor can be implemented using a function that returns a pointer to a modified structure.

type Colors struct {
    R   byte
    G   byte
    B   byte
}

// Constructor
func NewColors (r, g, b byte) *Colors {
    return &Color{R:r, G:g, B:b}
}

For weak dependencies and better abstraction, the constructor does not return a pointer to a structure, but an interface that this structure implements.

type Painter interface {
    paintMethod1() byte
    paintMethod2(byte) byte
}

type Colors struct {
    R byte
    G byte
    B byte
}

// Constructor return intreface
func NewColors(r, g, b byte) Painter {
    return &Color{R: r, G: g, B: b}
}

func (c *Colors) paintMethod1() byte {
    return c.R
}

func (c *Colors) paintMethod2(b byte) byte {
    return c.B = b
}

Is there a way to take the first 1000 rows of a Spark Dataframe?

The method you are looking for is .limit.

Returns a new Dataset by taking the first n rows. The difference between this function and head is that head returns an array while limit returns a new Dataset.

Example usage:

df.limit(1000)

How do I show a message in the foreach loop?

You are looking to see if a single value is in an array. Use in_array.

However note that case is important, as are any leading or trailing spaces. Use var_dump to find out the length of the strings too, and see if they fit.

File.Move Does Not Work - File Already Exists

You need to move it to another file (rather than a folder), this can also be used to rename.

Move:

File.Move(@"c:\test\SomeFile.txt", @"c:\test\Test\SomeFile.txt");

Rename:

File.Move(@"c:\test\SomeFile.txt", @"c:\test\SomeFile2.txt");

The reason it says "File already exists" in your example, is because C:\test\Test tries to create a file Test without an extension, but cannot do so as a folder already exists with the same name.

How to determine the Boost version on a system?

I stugeled to find out the boost version number in bash.

Ended up doing following, which stores the version code in a variable, supressing the errors. This uses the example from maxschlepzig in the comments of the accepted answer. (Can not comment, don't have 50 Rep)

I know this has been answered long time ago. But I couldn't find how to do it in bash anywhere. So I thought this might help someone with the same problem. Also this should work no matter where boost is installed, as long as the comiler can find it. And it will give you the version number that is acutally used by the comiler, when you have multiple versions installed.

{
VERS=$(echo -e '#include <boost/version.hpp>\nBOOST_VERSION' | gcc -s -x c++ -E - | grep "^[^#;]")
} &> /dev/null

Remove a modified file from pull request

A pull request is just that: a request to merge one branch into another.

Your pull request doesn't "contain" anything, it's just a marker saying "please merge this branch into that one".

The set of changes the PR shows in the web UI is just the changes between the target branch and your feature branch. To modify your pull request, you must modify your feature branch, probably with a force push to the feature branch.

In your case, you'll probably want to amend your commit. Not sure about your exact situation, but some combination of interactive rebase and add -p should sort you out.

Use '=' or LIKE to compare strings in SQL?

In my small experience:

"=" for Exact Matches.

"LIKE" for Partial Matches.

How to select all textareas and textboxes using jQuery?

Password boxes are also textboxes, so if you need them too:

$("input[type='text'], textarea, input[type='password']").css({width: "90%"});

and while file-input is a bit different, you may want to include them too (eg. for visual consistency):

$("input[type='text'], textarea, input[type='password'], input[type='file']").css({width: "90%"});

Adding null values to arraylist

You could create Util class:

public final class CollectionHelpers {
    public static <T> boolean addNullSafe(List<T> list, T element) {
        if (list == null || element == null) {
            return false;
        }

        return list.add(element);
    }
}

And then use it:

Element element = getElementFromSomeWhere(someParameter);
List<Element> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
CollectionHelpers.addNullSafe(list, element);

Docker-Compose can't connect to Docker Daemon

One way to resolve this would be to first add your user to the docker group by running the following

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

IMPORTANT: Remember to log out of your system (not just your terminal) and back in for this to take effect!

How to read data from java properties file using Spring Boot

You can use @PropertySource to externalize your configuration to a properties file. There is number of way to do get properties:

1. Assign the property values to fields by using @Value with PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer to resolve ${} in @Value:

@Configuration
@PropertySource("file:config.properties")
public class ApplicationConfiguration {

    @Value("${gMapReportUrl}")
    private String gMapReportUrl;

    @Bean
    public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertyConfigInDev() {
        return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();
    }

}

2. Get the property values by using Environment:

@Configuration
@PropertySource("file:config.properties")
public class ApplicationConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    public void foo() {
        env.getProperty("gMapReportUrl");
    }

}

How to remove only 0 (Zero) values from column in excel 2010

The (Ctrl+F) solution is really close - just the final step in the process was not articulated. While the author is correct about a space = "0", it won't make any difference with this method. The data you search for (whatever you want to delete) can be anything.

Search for the data you want to delete (in the "Find" field). In the "Replace" field, leave it blank. Then Replace or Replace All. The cells with those specific data will be emptied.

Thanks for getting me on the right track.

Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Serial'

You have installed the incorrect package named 'serial'.

How to use absolute path in twig functions

From Symfony2 documentation: Absolute URLs for assets were introduced in Symfony 2.5.

If you need absolute URLs for assets, you can set the third argument (or the absolute argument) to true:

Example:

HTML5 Video Autoplay not working correctly

Mobile browsers generally ignore this attribute to prevent consuming data until user explicitly starts the download.

UPDATE: newer version of mobile browser on Android and iOS do support autoplay function. But it only works if the video is muted or has no audio channel:

Some additional info: https://webkit.org/blog/6784/new-video-policies-for-ios/

How can I use Html.Action?

Another case is http redirection. If your page redirects http requests to https, then may be your partial view tries to redirect by itself.

It causes same problem again. For this problem, you can reorganize your .net error pages or iis error pages configuration.

Just make sure you are redirecting requests to right error or not found page and make sure this error page contains non problematic partial. If your page supports only https, do not forward requests to error page without using https, if error page contains partial, this partials tries to redirect seperately from requested url, it causes problem.

npm global path prefix

Simple solution is ...

Just put below command :

  1. sudo npm config get prefix

    if it's not something like these /usr/local, than you need to fix it using below command.

  2. sudo npm config set prefix /usr/local...

Now it's 100% working fine

Angular2: custom pipe could not be found

This didnt worked for me. (Im with Angular 2.1.2). I had NOT to import MainPipeModule in app.module.ts and importe it instead in the module where the component Im using the pipe is imported too.

Looks like if your component is declared and imported in a different module, you need to include your PipeModule in that module too.

Disable time in bootstrap date time picker

I spent some time trying to figure this out due to the update with DateTimePicker. You would enter in a format based off of moment.js documentation. You can use what other answers showed:

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({ format: 'DD/MM/YYYY' });

Or you can use some of the localized formats moment.js provides to do just a date, such as:

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({locale: 'fr', format: 'L' });

Using this, you are able to display only a time (LT) or date (L) based on locale. The documentation for datetimepicker wasn't clear to me that it automatically adapts to the input provided (date or only time) via moment.js format. Hope this helps for those still looking.

Retrieving subfolders names in S3 bucket from boto3

The following works for me... S3 objects:

s3://bucket/
    form1/
       section11/
          file111
          file112
       section12/
          file121
    form2/
       section21/
          file211
          file112
       section22/
          file221
          file222
          ...
      ...
   ...

Using:

from boto3.session import Session
s3client = session.client('s3')
resp = s3client.list_objects(Bucket=bucket, Prefix='', Delimiter="/")
forms = [x['Prefix'] for x in resp['CommonPrefixes']] 

we get:

form1/
form2/
...

With:

resp = s3client.list_objects(Bucket=bucket, Prefix='form1/', Delimiter="/")
sections = [x['Prefix'] for x in resp['CommonPrefixes']] 

we get:

form1/section11/
form1/section12/

Find a row in dataGridView based on column and value

Those who use WPF

for (int i = 0; i < dataGridName.Items.Count; i++)
{
      string cellValue= ((DataRowView)dataGridName.Items[i]).Row["columnName"].ToString();                
      if (cellValue.Equals("Search_string")) // check the search_string is present in the row of ColumnName
      {
         object item = dataGridName.Items[i];
         dataGridName.SelectedItem = item; // selecting the row of dataGridName
         dataGridName.ScrollIntoView(item);                    
         break;
      }
}

if you want to get the selected row items after this, the follwing code snippet is helpful

DataRowView drv = dataGridName.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
DataRow dr = drv.Row;
string item1= Convert.ToString(dr.ItemArray[0]);// get the first column value from selected row 
string item2= Convert.ToString(dr.ItemArray[1]);// get the second column value from selected row 

How to define a two-dimensional array?

What characters do I need to escape in XML documents?

In addition to the commonly known five characters [<, >, &, ", and '], I would also escape the vertical tab character (0x0B). It is valid UTF-8, but not valid XML 1.0, and even many libraries (including the highly portable (ANSI C) library libxml2) miss it and silently output invalid XML.

FFMPEG mp4 from http live streaming m3u8 file?

Your command is completely incorrect. The output format is not rawvideo and you don't need the bitstream filter h264_mp4toannexb which is used when you want to convert the h264 contained in an mp4 to the Annex B format used by MPEG-TS for example. What you want to use instead is the aac_adtstoasc for the AAC streams.

ffmpeg -i http://.../playlist.m3u8 -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

LDAP root query syntax to search more than one specific OU

The answer is NO you can't. Why?

Because the LDAP standard describes a LDAP-SEARCH as kind of function with 4 parameters:

  1. The node where the search should begin, which is a Distinguish Name (DN)
  2. The attributes you want to be brought back
  3. The depth of the search (base, one-level, subtree)
  4. The filter

You are interested in the filter. You've got a summary here (it's provided by Microsoft for Active Directory, it's from a standard). The filter is composed, in a boolean way, by expression of the type Attribute Operator Value.

So the filter you give does not mean anything.

On the theoretical point of view there is ExtensibleMatch that allows buildind filters on the DN path, but it's not supported by Active Directory.

As far as I know, you have to use an attribute in AD to make the distinction for users in the two OUs.

It can be any existing discriminator attribute, or, for example the attribute called OU which is inherited from organizationalPerson class. you can set it (it's not automatic, and will not be maintained if you move the users) with "staff" for some users and "vendors" for others and them use the filter:

(&(objectCategory=person)(|(ou=staff)(ou=vendors)))

Link vs compile vs controller

  • compile: used when we need to modify directive template, like add new expression, append another directive inside this directive
  • controller: used when we need to share/reuse $scope data
  • link: it is a function which used when we need to attach event handler or to manipulate DOM.

@RequestParam in Spring MVC handling optional parameters

As part of Spring 4.1.1 onwards you now have full support of Java 8 Optional (original ticket) therefore in your example both requests will go via your single mapping endpoint as long as you replace required=false with Optional for your 3 params logout, name, password:

@RequestMapping (value = "/submit/id/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET,   
 produces="text/xml")
public String showLoginWindow(@PathVariable("id") String id,
                              @RequestParam(value = "logout") Optional<String> logout,
                              @RequestParam("name") Optional<String> username,
                              @RequestParam("password") Optional<String> password,
                              @ModelAttribute("submitModel") SubmitModel model,
                              BindingResult errors) throws LoginException {...}

How do we check if a pointer is NULL pointer?

First, to be 100% clear, there is no difference between C and C++ here. And second, the Stack Overflow question you cite doesn't talk about null pointers; it introduces invalid pointers; pointers which, at least as far as the standard is concerned, cause undefined behavior just by trying to compare them. There is no way to test in general whether a pointer is valid.

In the end, there are three widespread ways to check for a null pointer:

if ( p != NULL ) ...

if ( p != 0 ) ...

if ( p ) ...

All work, regardless of the representation of a null pointer on the machine. And all, in some way or another, are misleading; which one you choose is a question of choosing the least bad. Formally, the first two are indentical for the compiler; the constant NULL or 0 is converted to a null pointer of the type of p, and the results of the conversion are compared to p. Regardless of the representation of a null pointer.

The third is slightly different: p is implicitly converted to bool. But the implicit conversion is defined as the results of p != 0, so you end up with the same thing. (Which means that there's really no valid argument for using the third style—it obfuscates with an implicit conversion, without any offsetting benefit.)

Which one of the first two you prefer is largely a matter of style, perhaps partially dictated by your programming style elsewhere: depending on the idiom involved, one of the lies will be more bothersome than the other. If it were only a question of comparison, I think most people would favor NULL, but in something like f( NULL ), the overload which will be chosen is f( int ), and not an overload with a pointer. Similarly, if f is a function template, f( NULL ) will instantiate the template on int. (Of course, some compilers, like g++, will generate a warning if NULL is used in a non-pointer context; if you use g++, you really should use NULL.)

In C++11, of course, the preferred idiom is:

if ( p != nullptr ) ...

, which avoids most of the problems with the other solutions. (But it is not C-compatible:-).)

SET versus SELECT when assigning variables?

Quote, which summarizes from this article:

  1. SET is the ANSI standard for variable assignment, SELECT is not.
  2. SET can only assign one variable at a time, SELECT can make multiple assignments at once.
  3. If assigning from a query, SET can only assign a scalar value. If the query returns multiple values/rows then SET will raise an error. SELECT will assign one of the values to the variable and hide the fact that multiple values were returned (so you'd likely never know why something was going wrong elsewhere - have fun troubleshooting that one)
  4. When assigning from a query if there is no value returned then SET will assign NULL, where SELECT will not make the assignment at all (so the variable will not be changed from its previous value)
  5. As far as speed differences - there are no direct differences between SET and SELECT. However SELECT's ability to make multiple assignments in one shot does give it a slight speed advantage over SET.

How do I parse a string with a decimal point to a double?

It's difficult without specifying what decimal separator to look for, but if you do, this is what I'm using:

    public static double Parse(string str, char decimalSep)
    {
        string s = GetInvariantParseString(str, decimalSep);
        return double.Parse(s, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    }

    public static bool TryParse(string str, char decimalSep, out double result)
    {
        // NumberStyles.Float | NumberStyles.AllowThousands got from Reflector
        return double.TryParse(GetInvariantParseString(str, decimalSep), NumberStyles.Float | NumberStyles.AllowThousands, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out result);
    }

    private static string GetInvariantParseString(string str, char decimalSep)
    {
        str = str.Replace(" ", "");

        if (decimalSep != '.')
            str = SwapChar(str, decimalSep, '.');

        return str;
    }
    public static string SwapChar(string value, char from, char to)
    {
        if (value == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("value");

        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

        foreach (var item in value)
        {
            char c = item;
            if (c == from)
                c = to;
            else if (c == to)
                c = from;

            builder.Append(c);
        }
        return builder.ToString();
    }

    private static void ParseTestErr(string p, char p_2)
    {
        double res;
        bool b = TryParse(p, p_2, out res);
        if (b)
            throw new Exception();
    }

    private static void ParseTest(double p, string p_2, char p_3)
    {
        double d = Parse(p_2, p_3);
        if (d != p)
            throw new Exception();
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ParseTest(100100100.100, "100.100.100,100", ',');
        ParseTest(100100100.100, "100,100,100.100", '.');
        ParseTest(100100100100, "100.100.100.100", ',');
        ParseTest(100100100100, "100,100,100,100", '.');
        ParseTestErr("100,100,100,100", ',');
        ParseTestErr("100.100.100.100", '.');
        ParseTest(100100100100, "100 100 100 100.0", '.');
        ParseTest(100100100.100, "100 100 100.100", '.');
        ParseTest(100100100.100, "100 100 100,100", ',');
        ParseTest(100100100100, "100 100 100,100", '.');
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1.234.567,89", ',');    
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1 234 567,89", ',');    
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1 234 567.89",     '.');
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1,234,567.89",    '.');
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1234567,89",     ',');
        ParseTest(1234567.89, "1234567.89",  '.');
        ParseTest(123456789, "123456789", '.');
        ParseTest(123456789, "123456789", ',');
        ParseTest(123456789, "123.456.789", ',');
        ParseTest(1234567890, "1.234.567.890", ',');
    }

This should work with any culture. It correctly fails to parse strings that has more than one decimal separator, unlike implementations that replace instead of swap.

Regex for 1 or 2 digits, optional non-alphanumeric, 2 known alphas

^\d{1,2}[\W_]?po$

\d defines a number and {1,2} means 1 or two of the expression before, \W defines a non word character.

Browser Timeouts

It's browser dependent. "By default, Internet Explorer has a KeepAliveTimeout value of one minute and an additional limiting factor (ServerInfoTimeout) of two minutes. Either setting can cause Internet Explorer to reset the socket." - from IE support http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827

Firefox is around the same value I think as well.

Usually though server timeout are set lower than browser timeouts, but at least you can control that and set it higher.

You'd rather handle the timeout though, so that way you can act upon such an event. See this thread: How to detect timeout on an AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) call in the browser?

How do I reverse a C++ vector?

    for(int i=0; i<v1.size(); i++)
        cout<<v1[i];    //02468
    reverse(v1.begin(),v1.end());

        cout<<v1[i];   //86420

What is the difference between “int” and “uint” / “long” and “ulong”?

The primitive data types prefixed with "u" are unsigned versions with the same bit sizes. Effectively, this means they cannot store negative numbers, but on the other hand they can store positive numbers twice as large as their signed counterparts. The signed counterparts do not have "u" prefixed.

The limits for int (32 bit) are:

int: –2147483648 to 2147483647 
uint: 0 to 4294967295 

And for long (64 bit):

long: -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807
ulong: 0 to 18446744073709551615

How to hide the keyboard when I press return key in a UITextField?

Try this in Swift,

Step 1: Set delegate as self to your textField

textField.delegate = self

Step 2: Add this UITextFieldDelegate below your class declaration,

extension YourClassName: UITextFieldDelegate {
    func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
         textField.resignFirstResponder()
        return true
    }
}

AWS S3: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint

None of the above answers fixed my issue.

The above answers are probably more likely the cause of your problem but my issue was that I was using the wrong bucket name. It was a valid bucket name, it just wasn't my bucket.

The bucket I was pointing to was in a different region that my lambda function so check your bucket name!

Running bash script from within python

Adding an answer because I was directed here after asking how to run a bash script from python. You receive an error OSError: [Errno 2] file not found if your script takes in parameters. Lets say for instance your script took in a sleep time parameter: subprocess.call("sleep.sh 10") will not work, you must pass it as an array: subprocess.call(["sleep.sh", 10])

How to call a stored procedure from Java and JPA

How to retrieve Stored Procedure output parameter using JPA (2.0 needs EclipseLink imports and 2.1 does not)

Even though this answer does elaborate on returning a recordset from a stored procedure, I am posting here, because it took me ages to figure it out and this thread helped me.

My application was using Eclipselink-2.3.1, but I will force an upgrade to Eclipselink-2.5.0, as JPA 2.1 has much better support for stored procedures.

Using EclipseLink-2.3.1/JPA-2.0: Implementation-Dependent

This method requires imports of EclipseLink classes from "org.eclipse.persistence", so it is specific to Eclipselink implementation.

I found it at "http://www.yenlo.nl/en/calling-oracle-stored-procedures-from-eclipselink-with-multiple-out-parameters".

StoredProcedureCall storedProcedureCall = new StoredProcedureCall();
storedProcedureCall.setProcedureName("mypackage.myprocedure");
storedProcedureCall.addNamedArgument("i_input_1"); // Add input argument name.
storedProcedureCall.addNamedOutputArgument("o_output_1"); // Add output parameter name.
DataReadQuery query = new DataReadQuery();
query.setCall(storedProcedureCall);
query.addArgument("i_input_1"); // Add input argument names (again);
List<Object> argumentValues = new ArrayList<Object>();
argumentValues.add("valueOf_i_input_1"); // Add input argument values.
JpaEntityManager jpaEntityManager = (JpaEntityManager) getEntityManager();
Session session = jpaEntityManager.getActiveSession();
List<?> results = (List<?>) session.executeQuery(query, argumentValues);
DatabaseRecord record = (DatabaseRecord) results.get(0);
String result = String.valueOf(record.get("o_output_1")); // Get output parameter

Using EclipseLink-2.5.0/JPA-2.1: Implementation-Independent (documented already in this thread)

This method is implementation independent (don't need Eclipslink imports).

StoredProcedureQuery query = getEntityManager().createStoredProcedureQuery("mypackage.myprocedure");
query.registerStoredProcedureParameter("i_input_1", String.class, ParameterMode.IN);
query.registerStoredProcedureParameter("o_output_1", String.class, ParameterMode.OUT);
query.setParameter("i_input_1", "valueOf_i_input_1");
boolean queryResult = query.execute();
String result = String.valueOf(query.getOutputParameterValue("o_output_1"));

Multiple separate IF conditions in SQL Server

IF you are checking one variable against multiple condition then you would use something like this Here the block of code where the condition is true will be executed and other blocks will be ignored.

IF(@Var1 Condition1)
     BEGIN
      /*Your Code Goes here*/
     END

ELSE IF(@Var1 Condition2)
      BEGIN
        /*Your Code Goes here*/ 
      END 

    ELSE      --<--- Default Task if none of the above is true
     BEGIN
       /*Your Code Goes here*/
     END

If you are checking conditions against multiple variables then you would have to go for multiple IF Statements, Each block of code will be executed independently from other blocks.

IF(@Var1 Condition1)
 BEGIN
   /*Your Code Goes here*/
 END


IF(@Var2 Condition1)
 BEGIN
   /*Your Code Goes here*/
 END


IF(@Var3 Condition1)
 BEGIN
   /*Your Code Goes here*/
 END

After every IF statement if there are more than one statement being executed you MUST put them in BEGIN..END Block. Anyway it is always best practice to use BEGIN..END blocks

Update

Found something in your code some BEGIN END you are missing

ELSE IF(@ID IS NOT NULL AND @ID in (SELECT ID FROM Places))   -- Outer Most Block ELSE IF

        END TRY
        BEGIN CATCH
            SELECT ERROR_MESSAGE() AS 'Message' 
            RETURN -1
        END CATCH   
               -- END
    ELSE                  -- ELSE
        BEGIN
            BEGIN TRY
                UPDATE ...

                RETURN -1
            END CATCH   
         END             
      --The above works I then insert this below and these if statement become nested----
          IF(@A!= @SA)

             exec Store procedure 
                    @FIELD = 15,

HttpClient 4.0.1 - how to release connection?

I'm using HttpClient 4.5.3, using CloseableHttpResponse#close worked for me.

    CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

    try {
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        String body = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
        checkResult(body);
        EntityUtils.consume(entity);
    } finally {
        response.close();
    }

With Java7 and beyond:

try (CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(request)) {
   ...
}

Javascript setInterval not working

A lot of other answers are focusing on a pattern that does work, but their explanations aren't really very thorough as to why your current code doesn't work.

Your code, for reference:

function funcName() {
    alert("test");
}

var func = funcName();
var run = setInterval("func",10000)

Let's break this up into chunks. Your function funcName is fine. Note that when you call funcName (in other words, you run it) you will be alerting "test". But notice that funcName() -- the parentheses mean to "call" or "run" the function -- doesn't actually return a value. When a function doesn't have a return value, it defaults to a value known as undefined.

When you call a function, you append its argument list to the end in parentheses. When you don't have any arguments to pass the function, you just add empty parentheses, like funcName(). But when you want to refer to the function itself, and not call it, you don't need the parentheses because the parentheses indicate to run it.

So, when you say:

var func = funcName();

You are actually declaring a variable func that has a value of funcName(). But notice the parentheses. funcName() is actually the return value of funcName. As I said above, since funcName doesn't actually return any value, it defaults to undefined. So, in other words, your variable func actually will have the value undefined.

Then you have this line:

var run = setInterval("func",10000)

The function setInterval takes two arguments. The first is the function to be ran every so often, and the second is the number of milliseconds between each time the function is ran.

However, the first argument really should be a function, not a string. If it is a string, then the JavaScript engine will use eval on that string instead. So, in other words, your setInterval is running the following JavaScript code:

func
// 10 seconds later....
func
// and so on

However, func is just a variable (with the value undefined, but that's sort of irrelevant). So every ten seconds, the JS engine evaluates the variable func and returns undefined. But this doesn't really do anything. I mean, it technically is being evaluated every 10 seconds, but you're not going to see any effects from that.

The solution is to give setInterval a function to run instead of a string. So, in this case:

var run = setInterval(funcName, 10000);

Notice that I didn't give it func. This is because func is not a function in your code; it's the value undefined, because you assigned it funcName(). Like I said above, funcName() will call the function funcName and return the return value of the function. Since funcName doesn't return anything, this defaults to undefined. I know I've said that several times now, but it really is a very important concept: when you see funcName(), you should think "the return value of funcName". When you want to refer to a function itself, like a separate entity, you should leave off the parentheses so you don't call it: funcName.

So, another solution for your code would be:

var func = funcName;
var run = setInterval(func, 10000);

However, that's a bit redundant: why use func instead of funcName?

Or you can stay as true as possible to the original code by modifying two bits:

var func = funcName;
var run = setInterval("func()", 10000);

In this case, the JS engine will evaluate func() every ten seconds. In other words, it will alert "test" every ten seconds. However, as the famous phrase goes, eval is evil, so you should try to avoid it whenever possible.

Another twist on this code is to use an anonymous function. In other words, a function that doesn't have a name -- you just drop it in the code because you don't care what it's called.

setInterval(function () {
    alert("test");
}, 10000);

In this case, since I don't care what the function is called, I just leave a generic, unnamed (anonymous) function there.

How do I restrict a float value to only two places after the decimal point in C?

I made this macro for rounding float numbers. Add it in your header / being of file

#define ROUNDF(f, c) (((float)((int)((f) * (c))) / (c)))

Here is an example:

float x = ROUNDF(3.141592, 100)

x equals 3.14 :)

How to download a branch with git?

How do you use String.substringWithRange? (or, how do Ranges work in Swift?)

Since String is a bridge type for NSString, the "old" methods should work, but it's not clear how - e.g., this doesn't work either (doesn't appear to be valid syntax):

 let x = str.substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(0, 3))

To me, that is the really interesting part of your question. String is bridged to NSString, so most NSString methods do work directly on a String. You can use them freely and without thinking. So, for example, this works just as you expect:

// delete all spaces from Swift String stateName
stateName = stateName.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString:"")

But, as so often happens, "I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you." You just happened to pick one of the rare cases where a parallel identically named Swift method exists, and in a case like that, the Swift method overshadows the Objective-C method. Thus, when you say str.substringWithRange, Swift thinks you mean the Swift method rather than the NSString method — and then you are hosed, because the Swift method expects a Range<String.Index>, and you don't know how to make one of those.

The easy way out is to stop Swift from overshadowing like this, by casting explicitly:

let x = (str as NSString).substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(0, 3))

Note that no significant extra work is involved here. "Cast" does not mean "convert"; the String is effectively an NSString. We are just telling Swift how to look at this variable for purposes of this one line of code.

The really weird part of this whole thing is that the Swift method, which causes all this trouble, is undocumented. I have no idea where it is defined; it is not in the NSString header and it's not in the Swift header either.

SELECT 'Same Date' WHERE CAST(getDate() as date) = cast('2/24/2012 2:23 PM' as date)

or

SELECT 'Same Date' WHERE DATEDIFF(dd, cast(getDate() as date), cast('2/24/2012 2:23 PM' as date)) = 0

How to sort in mongoose?

with the current version of mongoose (1.6.0) if you only want to sort by one column, you have to drop the array and pass the object directly to the sort() function:

Content.find().sort('created', 'descending').execFind( ... );

took me some time, to get this right :(

How to create an exit message

I got here searching for a way to execute some code whenever the program ends.
Found this:

Kernel.at_exit { puts "sayonara" }
# do whatever
# [...]
# call #exit or #abort or just let the program end
# calling #exit! will skip the call

Called multiple times will register multiple handlers.

What is the most efficient/quickest way to loop through rows in VBA (excel)?

If you are just looping through 10k rows in column A, then dump the row into a variant array and then loop through that.

You can then either add the elements to a new array (while adding rows when needed) and using Transpose() to put the array onto your range in one move, or you can use your iterator variable to track which row you are on and add rows that way.

Dim i As Long
Dim varray As Variant

varray = Range("A2:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Value

For i = 1 To UBound(varray, 1)
    ' do stuff to varray(i, 1)
Next

Here is an example of how you could add rows after evaluating each cell. This example just inserts a row after every row that has the word "foo" in column A. Not that the "+2" is added to the variable i during the insert since we are starting on A2. It would be +1 if we were starting our array with A1.

Sub test()

Dim varray As Variant
Dim i As Long

varray = Range("A2:A10").Value

'must step back or it'll be infinite loop
For i = UBound(varray, 1) To LBound(varray, 1) Step -1
    'do your logic and evaluation here
    If varray(i, 1) = "foo" Then
       'not how to offset the i variable 
       Range("A" & i + 2).EntireRow.Insert
    End If
Next

End Sub

How do I add a ToolTip to a control?

Just subscribe to the control's ToolTipTextNeeded event, and return e.TooltipText, much simpler.

Find Process Name by its Process ID

Using only "native" Windows utilities, try the following, where "516" is the process ID that you want the image name for:

for /f "delims=," %a in ( 'tasklist /fi "PID eq 516" /nh /fo:csv' ) do ( echo %~a )
for /f %a in ( 'tasklist /fi "PID eq 516" ^| findstr "516"' ) do ( echo %a )

Or you could use wmic (the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line tool) and get the full path to the executable:

wmic process where processId=516 get name
wmic process where processId=516 get ExecutablePath

Or you could download Microsoft PsTools, or specifically download just the pslist utility, and use PsList:

for /f %a in ( 'pslist 516 ^| findstr "516"' ) do ( echo %a )

No plot window in matplotlib

Any errors show up? This might an issue of not having set the backend. You can set it from the Python interpreter or from a config file (.matplotlib/matplotlibrc) in you home directory.

To set the backend in code you can do

matplotlib.use('Agg')

where 'Agg' is the name of the backend. Which backends are present depend on your installation and OS.

What are alternatives to ExtJS?

Nothing compares to in terms of community size and presence on StackOverflow. Despite previous controversy, Ext JS now has a GPLv3 open source license. Its learning curve is long, but it can be quite rewarding once learned. Ext JS lacks a Material Design theme, and the team has repeatedly refused to release the source code on GitHub. For mobile, one must use the separate Sencha Touch library.

Have in mind also that,

large JavaScript libraries, such as YUI, have been receiving less attention from the community. Many developers today look at large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don’t want to be locked into.

-- Announcement of YUI development being ceased

That said, below are a number of Ext JS alternatives currently available.

Leading client widget libraries

  1. Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit developed by big data analytics company Palantir in TypeScript, and "optimized for building complex data-dense interfaces for desktop applications". Actively developed on GitHub as of May 2019, with comprehensive documentation. Components range from simple (chips, toast, icons) to complex (tree, data table, tag input with autocomplete, date range picker. No accordion or resizer.

    Blueprint targets modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11, and Microsoft Edge) and is licensed under a modified Apache license.

    Sandbox / demoGitHubDocs

  2. Webix - an advanced, easy to learn, mobile-friendly, responsive and rich free&open source JavaScript UI components library. Webix spun off from DHTMLX Touch (a project with 8 years of development behind it - see below) and went on to become a standalone UI components framework. The GPL3 edition allows commercial use and lets non-GPL applications using Webix keep their license, e.g. MIT, via a license exemption for FLOSS. Webix has 55 UI widgets, including trees, grids, treegrids and charts. Funding comes from a commercial edition with some advanced widgets (Pivot, Scheduler, Kanban, org chart etc.). Webix has an extensive list of free and commercial widgets, and integrates with most popular frameworks (React, Vue, Meteor, etc) and UI components.

    Webix

    Skins look modern, and include a Material Design theme. The Touch theme also looks quite Material Design-ish. See also the Skin Builder.

    Minimal GitHub presence, but includes the library code, and the documentation (which still needs major improvements). Webix suffers from a having a small team and a lack of marketing. However, they have been responsive to user feedback, both on GitHub and on their forum.

    The library was lean (128Kb gzip+minified for all 55 widgets as of ~2015), faster than ExtJS, dojo and others, and the design is pleasant-looking. The current version of Webix (v6, as of Nov 2018) got heavier (400 - 676kB minified but NOT gzipped).

    The demos on Webix.com look and function great. The developer, XB Software, uses Webix in solutions they build for paying customers, so there's likely a good, funded future ahead of it.

    Webix aims for backwards compatibility down to IE8, and as a result carries some technical debt.

  3. react-md - MIT-licensed Material Design UI components library for React. Responsive, accessible. Implements components from simple (buttons, cards) to complex (sortable tables, autocomplete, tags input, calendars). One lead author, ~1900 GitHub stars.

  4. - jQuery-based UI toolkit with 40+ basic open-source widgets, plus commercial professional widgets (grids, trees, charts etc.). Responsive&mobile support. Works with Bootstrap and AngularJS. Modern, with Material Design themes. The documentation is available on GitHub, which has enabled numerous contributions from users (4500+ commits, 500+ PRs as of Jan 2015).

    enter image description here

    Well-supported commercially, claiming millions of developers, and part of a large family of developer tools. Telerik has received many accolades, is a multi-national company (Bulgaria, US), was acquired by Progress Software, and is a thought leader.

    A Kendo UI Professional developer license costs $700 and posting access to most forums is conditioned upon having a license or being in the trial period.

    [Wikipedia] • GitHub/TelerikDemosPlaygroundTools

  5. OpenUI5 - jQuery-based UI framework with 180 widgets, Apache 2.0-licensed and fully-open sourced and funded by German software giant SAP SE.

    OpenUI5

    The community is much larger than that of Webix, SAP is hiring developers to grow OpenUI5, and they presented OpenUI5 at OSCON 2014.

    The desktop themes are rather lackluster, but the Fiori design for web and mobile looks clean and neat.

    WikipediaGitHubMobile-first controls demosDesktop controls demosSO

  6. DHTMLX - JavaScript library for building rich Web and Mobile apps. Looks most like ExtJS - check the demos. Has been developed since 2005 but still looks modern. All components except TreeGrid are available under GPLv2 but advanced features for many components are only available in the commercial PRO edition - see for example the tree. Claims to be used by many Fortune 500 companies.

    DHTMLX

    Minimal presence on GitHub (the main library code is missing) and StackOverflow but active forum. The documentation is not available on GitHub, which makes it difficult to improve by the community.

  7. Polymer, a Web Components polyfill, plus Polymer Paper, Google's implementation of the Material design. Aimed at web and mobile apps. Doesn't have advanced widgets like trees or even grids but the controls it provides are mobile-first and responsive. Used by many big players, e.g. IBM or USA Today.

    Polymer Paper Elements

  8. Ant Design claims it is "a design language for background applications", influenced by "nature" and helping designers "create low-entropy atmosphere for developer team". That's probably a poor translation from Chinese for "UI components for enterprise web applications". It's a React UI library written in TypeScript, with many components, from simple (buttons, cards) to advanced (autocomplete, calendar, tag input, table).

    The project was born in China, is popular with Chinese companies, and parts of the documentation are available only in Chinese. Quite popular on GitHub, yet it makes the mistake of splitting the community into Chinese and English chat rooms. The design looks Material-ish, but fonts are small and the information looks lost in a see of whitespace.

  9. PrimeUI - collection of 45+ rich widgets based on jQuery UI. Apache 2.0 license. Small GitHub community. 35 premium themes available.

  10. qooxdoo - "a universal JavaScript framework with a coherent set of individual components", developed and funded by German hosting provider 1&1 (see the contributors, one of the world's largest hosting companies. GPL/EPL (a business-friendly license).

    Mobile themes look modern but desktop themes look old (gradients).

  11. jQuery UI - easy to pick up; looks a bit dated; lacks advanced widgets. Of course, you can combine it with independent widgets for particular needs, e.g. trees or other UI components, but the same can be said for any other framework.

  12. + Angular UI. While Angular is backed by Google, it's being radically revamped in the upcoming 2.0 version, and "users will need to get to grips with a new kind of architecture. It's also been confirmed that there will be no migration path from Angular 1.X to 2.0". Moreover, the consensus seems to be that Angular 2 won't really be ready for use until a year or two from now. Angular UI has relatively few widgets (no trees, for example).

  13. DojoToolkit and their powerful Dijit set of widgets. Completely open-sourced and actively developed on GitHub, but development is now (Nov 2018) focused on the new dojo.io framework, which has very few basic widgets. BSD/AFL license. Development started in 2004 and the Dojo Foundation is being sponsored by IBM, Google, and others - see Wikipedia. 7500 questions here on SO.

    Dojo Dijit

    Themes look desktop-oriented and dated - see the theme tester in dijit. The official theme previewer is broken and only shows "Claro". A Bootstrap theme exists, which looks a lot like Bootstrap, but doesn't use Bootstrap classes. In Jan 2015, I started a thread on building a Material Design theme for Dojo, which got quite popular within the first hours. However, there are questions regarding building that theme for the current Dojo 1.10 vs. the next Dojo 2.0. The response to that thread shows an active and wide community, covering many time zones.

    Unfortunately, Dojo has fallen out of popularity and fewer companies appear to use it, despite having (had?) a strong foothold in the enterprise world. In 2009-2012, its learning curve was steep and the documentation needed improvements; while the documentation has substantially improved, it's unclear how easy it is to pick up Dojo nowadays.

    With a Material Design theme, Dojo (2.0?) might be the killer UI components framework.

CrossUI - cross-browser JS framework to develop and package the exactly same code and UI into Web Apps, Native Desktop Apps (Windows, OS X, Linux) and Mobile Apps (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry). Open sourced LGPL3. Featured RAD tool (form builder etc.). The UI looks desktop-, not web-oriented. Actively developed, small community. No presence on GitHub.

  18. ZinoUI - simple widgets. The DataTable, for instance, doesn't even support sorting.

Efficiently checking if arbitrary object is NaN in Python / numpy / pandas?

Is your type really arbitrary? If you know it is just going to be a int float or string you could just do

 if val.dtype == float and np.isnan(val):

assuming it is wrapped in numpy , it will always have a dtype and only float and complex can be NaN

how to make a whole row in a table clickable as a link?

You can't do that. It is invalid HTML. You can't put a <a> in between a <tbody> and a <tr>. Try this instead:

<tr onclick="window.location='#';">
        ...
     </tr>

add style for pointer view

[data-href] { cursor: pointer; }

When you work up to it, you'd want to use JavaScript to assign the click handler outside of the HTML.

Getting the name of a variable as a string

If the goal is to help you keep track of your variables, you can write a simple function that labels the variable and returns its value and type. For example, suppose i_f=3.01 and you round it to an integer called i_n to use in a code, and then need a string i_s that will go into a report.

def whatis(string, x):
    print(string+' value=',repr(x),type(x))
    return string+' value='+repr(x)+repr(type(x))
i_f=3.01
i_n=int(i_f)
i_s=str(i_n)
i_l=[i_f, i_n, i_s]
i_u=(i_f, i_n, i_s)

## make report that identifies all types
report='\n'+20*'#'+'\nThis is the report:\n'
report+= whatis('i_f ',i_f)+'\n'
report+=whatis('i_n ',i_n)+'\n'
report+=whatis('i_s ',i_s)+'\n'
report+=whatis('i_l ',i_l)+'\n'
report+=whatis('i_u ',i_u)+'\n'
print(report)

This prints to the window at each call for debugging purposes and also yields a string for the written report. The only downside is that you have to type the variable twice each time you call the function.

I am a Python newbie and found this very useful way to log my efforts as I program and try to cope with all the objects in Python. One flaw is that whatis() fails if it calls a function described outside the procedure where it is used. For example, int(i_f) was a valid function call only because the int function is known to Python. You could call whatis() using int(i_f**2), but if for some strange reason you choose to define a function called int_squared it must be declared inside the procedure where whatis() is used.

#endif
        Parallel.ForEach(bookIdList, parallelOptions, bookID => UpdateStockCount(bookID));

Of course, this opens up a whole new can of threadworms.

How do I set the value property in AngularJS' ng-options?

It appears that ng-options is complicated (possibly frustrating) to use, but in reality we have an architecture problem.

AngularJS serves as an MVC framework for a dynamic HTML+JavaScript application. While its (V)iew component does offer HTML "templating," its primary purpose is to connect user actions, via a controller, to changes in the model. Therefore the appropriate level of abstraction, from which to work in AngularJS, is that a select element sets a value in the model to a value from a query.

  • How a query row is presented to the user is the (V)iew’s concern and ng-options provides the for keyword to dictate what the contents of the option element should be i.e. p.text for p in resultOptions.
  • How a selected row is presented to the server is the (M)odel’s concern. Therefore ng-options provides the as keyword to specify what value is provided to the model as in k as v for (k,v) in objects.

The correct solution this is problem is then architectural in nature and involves refactoring your HTML so that the (M)odel performs server communication when required (instead of the user submitting a form).

If an MVC HTML page is unnecessary over-engineering for the problem at hand: then use only the HTML generation portion of AngularJS’s (V)iew component. In this case, follow the same pattern that is used for generating elements such as &lt;li /&gt;'s under &lt;ul /&gt;'s and place a ng-repeat on an option element:

<select name=“value”>
    <option ng-repeat=“value in Model.Values” value=“{{value.value}}”>
        {{value.text}}
    </option>
</select>

As kludge, one can always move the name attribute of the select element to a hidden input element:

<select ng-model=“selectedValue” ng-options=“value.text for value in Model.Values”>
</select>
<input type=“hidden” name=“value” value=“{{selectedValue}}” />

Reverse a comparator in Java 8

You can use Comparator.reverseOrder() to have a comparator giving the reverse of the natural ordering.

If you want to reverse the ordering of an existing comparator, you can use Comparator.reversed().

Sample code:

Stream.of(1, 4, 2, 5)
    .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder()); 
    // stream is now [5, 4, 2, 1]

Stream.of("foo", "test", "a")
    .sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(String::length).reversed()); 
    // stream is now [test, foo, a], sorted by descending length

z-index not working with position absolute

I faced this issue a lot when using position: absolute;, I faced this issue by using position: relative in the child element. don't need to change position: absolute to relative, just need to add in the child element look into the beneath two examples:

toggle.addEventListener("click", () => {
 toggle.classList.toggle('change');
})

  background: #333;
  border-radius: 20px;
  position: relative;
  cursor: pointer;

}

.change .slide {
  transform: translateX(33px);
}

.slide {
  transition: 0.5s;
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 20px;
  margin: 2px 2px;
  z-index: 100;
}

python's re: return True if string contains regex pattern

You can do something like this:

Using search will return a SRE_match object, if it matches your search string.

>>> import re
>>> m = re.search(u'ba[r|z|d]', 'bar')
>>> m
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02027288>
>>> m.group()
'bar'
>>> n = re.search(u'ba[r|z|d]', 'bas')

If not, it will return None

How to suppress scientific notation when printing float values?

This is using Captain Cucumber's answer, but with 2 additions.

1) allowing the function to get non scientific notation numbers and just return them as is (so you can throw a lot of input that some of the numbers are 0.00003123 vs 3.123e-05 and still have function work.

2) added support for negative numbers. (in original function, a negative number would end up like 0.0000-108904 from -1.08904e-05)

def getExpandedScientificNotation(flt):
    was_neg = False
    if not ("e" in flt):
        return flt
    if flt.startswith('-'):
        flt = flt[1:]
        was_neg = True 
    str_vals = str(flt).split('e')
    coef = float(str_vals[0])
    exp = int(str_vals[1])
    return_val = ''
    if int(exp) > 0:
        return_val += str(coef).replace('.', '')
        return_val += ''.join(['0' for _ in range(0, abs(exp - len(str(coef).split('.')[1])))])
    elif int(exp) < 0:
        return_val += '0.'
        return_val += ''.join(['0' for _ in range(0, abs(exp) - 1)])
        return_val += str(coef).replace('.', '')
    if was_neg:
        return_val='-'+return_val
    return return_val

How to use sed to remove all double quotes within a file

For replacing in place you can also do:

sed -i '' 's/\"//g' file.txt

or in Linux

sed -i 's/\"//g' file.txt

How to rename files and folder in Amazon S3?

Here's how you do it in .NET, using S3 .NET SDK:

var client = new Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Client(_credentials, _config);
client.CopyObject(oldBucketName, oldfilepath, newBucketName, newFilePath);
client.DeleteObject(oldBucketName, oldfilepath);

P.S. try to use use "Async" versions of the client methods where possible, even though I haven't done so for readability

I got this error for my Linux Jenkins slave. I fixed it by changing from the node from "Known hosts file Verification Strategy" to "Non verifying Verification Strategy".

How to connect to SQL Server from another computer?

If you want to connect to SQL server remotly you need to use a software - like Sql Server Management studio.

The computers doesn't need to be on the same network - but they must be able to connect each other using a communication protocol like tcp/ip, and the server must be set up to support incoming connection of the type you choose.

if you want to connect to another computer (to browse files ?) you use other tools, and not sql server (you can map a drive and access it through there ect...)

To Enable SQL connection using tcp/ip read this article:

For Sql Express: express For Sql 2008: 2008

Make sure you enable access through the machine firewall as well.

You might need to install either SSMS or Toad on the machine your using to connect to the server. both you can download from their's company web site.

Compare two Lists for differences

I think you're looking for a method like this:

public static IEnumerable<TResult> CompareSequences<T1, T2, TResult>(IEnumerable<T1> seq1,
    IEnumerable<T2> seq2, Func<T1, T2, TResult> comparer)
{
    var enum1 = seq1.GetEnumerator();
    var enum2 = seq2.GetEnumerator();

    while (enum1.MoveNext() && enum2.MoveNext())
    {
        yield return comparer(enum1.Current, enum2.Current);
    }
}

It's untested, but it should do the job nonetheless. Note that what's particularly useful about this method is that it's full generic, i.e. it can take two sequences of arbitrary (and different) types and return objects of any type.

This solution of course assumes that you want to compare the nth item of seq1 with the nth item in seq2. If you want to do match the elements in the two sequences based on a particular property/comparison, then you'll want to perform some sort of join operation (as suggested by danbruc using Enumerable.Join. Do let me know if it neither of these approaches is quite what I'm after and maybe I can suggest something else.

Edit: Here's an example of how you might use the CompareSequences method with the comparer function you originally posted.

// Prints out to the console all the results returned by the comparer function (CompareTwoClass_ReturnDifferences in this case).
var results = CompareSequences(list1, list2, CompareTwoClass_ReturnDifferences);
int index;    

foreach(var element in results)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0:#000} {1}", index++, element.ToString());
}

How to implement a Map with multiple keys?

Depending on how it will be used, you can either do this with two maps Map<K1, V> and Map<K2, V> or with two maps Map<K1, V> and Map<K2, K1>. If one of the keys is more permanent than the other, the second option may make more sense.

How can I completely remove TFS Bindings

The simplest solution would be to open Visual Studio, deactivate the TFS Plugin in Tools > Options > Source control and reopen the solution you want to clean. Visual Studio will ask to remove source controls bindings

Set background image according to screen resolution

I know it's too old question but thought to answer, it might will help someone. If you see twitter, you will find something very tricky but pure css approach to achieve this.

<div class="background"><img src="home-bg.png" /></div>
Applied CSS
.background {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    height: 200%;
    left: -50%;
    position: fixed;
    width: 200%;}

.background img{
    bottom: 0;
    display: block;
    left: 0;
    margin: auto;
    min-height: 50%;
    min-width: 50%;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;}

This background images fits to all size. even portrait view of ipad. it always adjust the image in center. if you zoom out; image will remain the same.

How to turn on WCF tracing?

In your web.config (on the server) add

<system.diagnostics>
 <sources>
  <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing" propagateActivity="true">
   <listeners>
    <add name="traceListener" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" initializeData="C:\logs\Traces.svclog"/>
   </listeners>
  </source>
 </sources>
</system.diagnostics>

Full screen background image in an activity

Another option is to add a single image (not necessarily big) in the drawables (let's name it backgroung.jpg), create an ImageView iv_background at the root of your xml without a "src" attribute. Then in the onCreate method of the corresponding activity:

    /* create a full screen window */
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_activity);

    /* adapt the image to the size of the display */
    Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();
    display.getSize(size);
    Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
      getResources(),R.drawable.background),size.x,size.y,true);

    /* fill the background ImageView with the resized image */
    ImageView iv_background = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_background);
    iv_background.setImageBitmap(bmp);

No cropping, no many different sized images. Hope it helps!

Entity Framework 6 GUID as primary key: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'FileStore'; column does not allow nulls

Entity Framework – Use a Guid as the primary key

Using a Guid as your tables primary key, when using Entity Framework, requires a little more effort than when using a integer. The setup process is straightforward, after you’ve read/been shown how to do it.

The process is slightly different for the Code First and Database First approaches. This post discusses both techniques.

enter image description here

Code First

Using a Guid as the primary key when taking the code first approach is simple. When creating your entity, add the DatabaseGenerated attribute to your primary key property, as shown below;

[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public Guid Id { get; set; }

Entity framework will create the column as you would expect, with a primary key and uniqueidentifier data type.

codefirst-defaultvalue

Also notice, very important, that the default value on the column has been set to (newsequentialid()). This generates a new sequential (continuous) Guid for each row. If you were so inclined, you could change this to newid()), which would result in a completely random Guid for each new row. This will be cleared each time your database gets dropped and re-created, so this works better when taking the Database First approach.

Database First

The database first approach follows a similar line to the code first approach, but you’ll have to manually edit your model to make it work.

Ensure that you edit the primary key column and add the (newsequentialid()) or (newid()) function as the default value before doing anything.

enter image description here

Next, open you EDMX diagram, select the appropriate property and open the properties window. Ensure that StoreGeneratedPattern is set to identity.

databasefirst-model

No need to give your entity an ID in your code, that will be populated for you automatically after the entity has been commited to the database;

using (ApplicationDbContext context = new ApplicationDbContext())
{
    var person = new Person
                     {
                         FirstName = "Random",
                         LastName = "Person";
                     };

    context.People.Add(person);
    context.SaveChanges();
    Console.WriteLine(person.Id);
}

Important Note: Your Guid field MUST be a primary key, or this does not work. Entity Framework will give you a rather cryptic error message!

Summary

Guid (Globally Unique Identifiers) can easily be used as primary keys in Entity Framework. A little extra effort is required to do this, depending on which approach you are taking. When using the code first approach, add the DatabaseGenerated attribute to your key field. When taking the Database First approach, explicitly set the StoredGeneratedPattern to Identity on your model.

How to read a .xlsx file using the pandas Library in iPython?

DataFrame's read_excel method is like read_csv method:

dfs = pd.read_excel(xlsx_file, sheetname="sheet1")


Help on function read_excel in module pandas.io.excel:

read_excel(io, sheetname=0, header=0, skiprows=None, skip_footer=0, index_col=None, names=None, parse_cols=None, parse_dates=False, date_parser=None, na_values=None, thousands=None, convert_float=True, has_index_names=None, converters=None, true_values=None, false_values=None, engine=None, squeeze=False, **kwds)
    Read an Excel table into a pandas DataFrame

    Parameters
    ----------
    io : string, path object (pathlib.Path or py._path.local.LocalPath),
        file-like object, pandas ExcelFile, or xlrd workbook.
        The string could be a URL. Valid URL schemes include http, ftp, s3,
        and file. For file URLs, a host is expected. For instance, a local
        file could be file://localhost/path/to/workbook.xlsx
    sheetname : string, int, mixed list of strings/ints, or None, default 0

        Strings are used for sheet names, Integers are used in zero-indexed
        sheet positions.

        Lists of strings/integers are used to request multiple sheets.

        Specify None to get all sheets.

        str|int -> DataFrame is returned.
        list|None -> Dict of DataFrames is returned, with keys representing
        sheets.

        Available Cases

        * Defaults to 0 -> 1st sheet as a DataFrame
        * 1 -> 2nd sheet as a DataFrame
        * "Sheet1" -> 1st sheet as a DataFrame
        * [0,1,"Sheet5"] -> 1st, 2nd & 5th sheet as a dictionary of DataFrames
        * None -> All sheets as a dictionary of DataFrames

    header : int, list of ints, default 0
        Row (0-indexed) to use for the column labels of the parsed
        DataFrame. If a list of integers is passed those row positions will
        be combined into a ``MultiIndex``
    skiprows : list-like
        Rows to skip at the beginning (0-indexed)
    skip_footer : int, default 0
        Rows at the end to skip (0-indexed)
    index_col : int, list of ints, default None
        Column (0-indexed) to use as the row labels of the DataFrame.
        Pass None if there is no such column.  If a list is passed,
        those columns will be combined into a ``MultiIndex``
    names : array-like, default None
        List of column names to use. If file contains no header row,
        then you should explicitly pass header=None
    converters : dict, default None
        Dict of functions for converting values in certain columns. Keys can
        either be integers or column labels, values are functions that take one
        input argument, the Excel cell content, and return the transformed
        content.
    true_values : list, default None
        Values to consider as True

        .. versionadded:: 0.19.0

    false_values : list, default None
        Values to consider as False

        .. versionadded:: 0.19.0

    parse_cols : int or list, default None
        * If None then parse all columns,
        * If int then indicates last column to be parsed
        * If list of ints then indicates list of column numbers to be parsed
        * If string then indicates comma separated list of column names and
          column ranges (e.g. "A:E" or "A,C,E:F")
    squeeze : boolean, default False
        If the parsed data only contains one column then return a Series
    na_values : scalar, str, list-like, or dict, default None
        Additional strings to recognize as NA/NaN. If dict passed, specific
        per-column NA values. By default the following values are interpreted
        as NaN: '', '#N/A', '#N/A N/A', '#NA', '-1.#IND', '-1.#QNAN', '-NaN', '-nan',
    '1.#IND', '1.#QNAN', 'N/A', 'NA', 'NULL', 'NaN', 'nan'.
    thousands : str, default None
        Thousands separator for parsing string columns to numeric.  Note that
        this parameter is only necessary for columns stored as TEXT in Excel,
        any numeric columns will automatically be parsed, regardless of display
        format.
    keep_default_na : bool, default True
        If na_values are specified and keep_default_na is False the default NaN
        values are overridden, otherwise they're appended to.
    verbose : boolean, default False
        Indicate number of NA values placed in non-numeric columns
    engine: string, default None
        If io is not a buffer or path, this must be set to identify io.
        Acceptable values are None or xlrd
    convert_float : boolean, default True
        convert integral floats to int (i.e., 1.0 --> 1). If False, all numeric
        data will be read in as floats: Excel stores all numbers as floats
        internally
    has_index_names : boolean, default None
        DEPRECATED: for version 0.17+ index names will be automatically
        inferred based on index_col.  To read Excel output from 0.16.2 and
        prior that had saved index names, use True.

    Returns
    -------
    parsed : DataFrame or Dict of DataFrames
        DataFrame from the passed in Excel file.  See notes in sheetname
        argument for more information on when a Dict of Dataframes is returned.

Get a Windows Forms control by name in C#

Assuming you have Windows.Form Form1 as the parent form which owns the menu you've created. One of the form's attributes is named .Menu. If the menu was created programmatically, it should be the same, and it would be recognized as a menu and placed in the Menu attribute of the Form.

In this case, I had a main menu called File. A sub menu, called a MenuItem under File contained the tag Open and was named menu_File_Open. The following worked. Assuming you

// So you don't have to fully reference the objects.
using System.Windows.Forms;

// More stuff before the real code line, but irrelevant to this discussion.

MenuItem my_menuItem = (MenuItem)Form1.Menu.MenuItems["menu_File_Open"];

// Now you can do what you like with my_menuItem;

Difference between decimal, float and double in .NET?

Precision is the main difference.

Float - 7 digits (32 bit)

Double-15-16 digits (64 bit)

Decimal -28-29 significant digits (128 bit)

Decimals have much higher precision and are usually used within financial applications that require a high degree of accuracy. Decimals are much slower (up to 20X times in some tests) than a double/float.

Decimals and Floats/Doubles cannot be compared without a cast whereas Floats and Doubles can. Decimals also allow the encoding or trailing zeros.

float flt = 1F/3;
double dbl = 1D/3;
decimal dcm = 1M/3;
Console.WriteLine("float: {0} double: {1} decimal: {2}", flt, dbl, dcm);

Result :

float: 0.3333333  
double: 0.333333333333333  
decimal: 0.3333333333333333333333333333

FormsAuthentication.SignOut() does not log the user out

For MVC this works for me:

        public ActionResult LogOff()
        {
            FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
            return Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(User.Identity.Name, true));
        }

Why do some functions have underscores "__" before and after the function name?

Names surrounded by double underscores are "special" to Python. They're listed in the Python Language Reference, section 3, "Data model".

How do I change the value of a global variable inside of a function

Just reference the variable inside the function; no magic, just use it's name. If it's been created globally, then you'll be updating the global variable.

You can override this behaviour by declaring it locally using var, but if you don't use var, then a variable name used in a function will be global if that variable has been declared globally.

That's why it's considered best practice to always declare your variables explicitly with var. Because if you forget it, you can start messing with globals by accident. It's an easy mistake to make. But in your case, this turn around and becomes an easy answer to your question.

Java: Integer equals vs. ==

Besides these given great answers, What I have learned is that:

NEVER compare objects with == unless you intend to be comparing them by their references.

Set default option in mat-select

It took me several hours to figure out this until the similarity of the datatypes between the array and that of the default value worked for me...

Setting Short Value Java

You can use setTableId((short)100). I think this was changed in Java 5 so that numeric literals assigned to byte or short and within range for the target are automatically assumed to be the target type. That latest J2ME JVMs are derived from Java 4 though.

Do I commit the package-lock.json file created by npm 5?

To the people complaining about the noise when doing git diff:

git diff -- . ':(exclude)*package-lock.json' -- . ':(exclude)*yarn.lock'

What I did was use an alias:

alias gd="git diff --ignore-all-space --ignore-space-at-eol --ignore-space-change --ignore-blank-lines -- . ':(exclude)*package-lock.json' -- . ':(exclude)*yarn.lock'"

To ignore package-lock.json in diffs for the entire repository (everyone using it), you can add this to .gitattributes:

package-lock.json binary
yarn.lock binary

This will result in diffs that show "Binary files a/package-lock.json and b/package-lock.json differ whenever the package lock file was changed. Additionally, some Git services (notably GitLab, but not GitHub) will also exclude these files (no more 10k lines changed!) from the diffs when viewing online when doing this.

How do I specify the exit code of a console application in .NET?

Use this code

Environment.Exit(0);

use 0 as the int if you don't want to return anything.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH vs LIBRARY_PATH

Since I link with gcc why ld is being called, as the error message suggests?

gcc calls ld internally when it is in linking mode.

JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

You installed java...

apt-get install default-jre

Getting the minimum of two values in SQL

This works for up to 5 dates and handles nulls. Just couldn't get it to work as an Inline function.

Disabling contextual LOB creation as createClob() method threw error

In order to hide the exception:

For Hibernate 5.2 (and Spring Boot 2.0), you can either use the use_jdbc_metadata_defaults property that the others pointed out:

# Meant to hide HHH000424: Disabling contextual LOB creation as createClob() method threw error 
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults: false

Or, if you want to not have any side effects from the above setting (there's a comment warning us about some Oracle side effects, I don't know if it's valid or not), you can just disable the logging of the exception like this:

logging:
   level: 
      # Hides HHH000424: Disabling contextual LOB creation as createClob() method threw error
