How does setTimeout work in Node.JS?

The idea of non-blocking is that the loop iterations are quick. So to iterate for each tick should take short enough a time that the setTimeout will be accurate to within reasonable precision (off by maybe <100 ms or so).

In theory though you're right. If I write an application and block the tick, then setTimeouts will be delayed. So to answer you're question, who can assure setTimeouts execute on time? You, by writing non-blocking code, can control the degree of accuracy up to almost any reasonable degree of accuracy.

As long as javascript is "single-threaded" in terms of code execution (excluding web-workers and the like), that will always happen. The single-threaded nature is a huge simplification in most cases, but requires the non-blocking idiom to be successful.

Try this code out either in your browser or in node, and you'll see that there is no guarantee of accuracy, on the contrary, the setTimeout will be very late:

var start = Date.now();

// expecting something close to 500
setTimeout(function(){ console.log(Date.now() - start); }, 500);

// fiddle with the number of iterations depending on how quick your machine is
for(var i=0; i<5000000; ++i){}

Unless the interpreter optimises the loop away (which it doesn't on chrome), you'll get something in the thousands. Remove the loop and you'll see it's 500 on the nose...

REST - HTTP Post Multipart with JSON

If I understand you correctly, you want to compose a multipart request manually from an HTTP/REST console. The multipart format is simple; a brief introduction can be found in the HTML 4.01 spec. You need to come up with a boundary, which is a string not found in the content, let’s say HereGoes. You set request header Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=HereGoes. Then this should be a valid request body:

--HereGoes
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myJsonString"
Content-Type: application/json

{"foo": "bar"}
--HereGoes
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="photo"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

<...JPEG content in base64...>
--HereGoes--

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

Even if it's a late answer: I think this is still a very good question and IMHO Python (without additional libraries or toolkits like numpy) is still lacking a convenient method to access the indices of list elements according to a manually defined filter.

You could manually define a function, which provides that functionality:

def indices(list, filtr=lambda x: bool(x)):
    return [i for i,x in enumerate(list) if filtr(x)]

print(indices([1,0,3,5,1], lambda x: x==1))

Yields: [0, 4]

In my imagination the perfect way would be making a child class of list and adding the indices function as class method. In this way only the filter method would be needed:

class MyList(list):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        list.__init__(self, *args)
    def indices(self, filtr=lambda x: bool(x)):
        return [i for i,x in enumerate(self) if filtr(x)]

my_list = MyList([1,0,3,5,1])
my_list.indices(lambda x: x==1)

I elaborated a bit more on that topic here: http://tinyurl.com/jajrr87

How do I merge my local uncommitted changes into another Git branch?

WARNING: Not for git newbies.

This comes up enough in my workflow that I've almost tried to write a new git command for it. The usual git stash flow is the way to go but is a little awkward. I usually make a new commit first since if I have been looking at the changes, all the information is fresh in my mind and it's better to just start git commit-ing what I found (usually a bugfix belonging on master that I discover while working on a feature branch) right away.

It is also helpful—if you run into situations like this a lot—to have another working directory alongside your current one that always have the master branch checked out.

So how I achieve this goes like this:

git commit the changes right away with a good commit message.
git reset HEAD~1 to undo the commit from current branch.
(optional) continue working on the feature.

Sometimes later (asynchronously), or immediately in another terminal window:

cd my-project-master which is another WD sharing the same .git
git reflog to find the bugfix I've just made.
git cherry-pick SHA1 of the commit.

Optionally (still asynchronous) you can then rebase (or merge) your feature branch to get the bugfix, usually when you are about to submit a PR and have cleaned your feature branch and WD already:

cd my-project which is the main WD I'm working on.
git rebase master to get the bugfixes.

This way I can keep working on the feature uninterrupted and not have to worry about git stash-ing anything or having to clean my WD before a git checkout (and then having the check the feature branch backout again.) and still have all my bugfixes goes to master instead of hidden in my feature branch.

IMO git stash and git checkout is a real PIA when you are in the middle of working on some big feature.

How to import a SQL Server .bak file into MySQL?

I highly doubt it. You might want to use DTS/SSIS to do this as Levi says. One think that you might want to do is start the process without actually importing the data. Just do enough to get the basic table structures together. Then you are going to want to change around the resulting table structure, because whatever structure tat will likely be created will be shaky at best.

You might also have to take this a step further and create a staging area that takes in all the data first n a string (varchar) form. Then you can create a script that does validation and conversion to get it into the "real" database, because the two databases don't always work well together, especially when dealing with dates.

How to tar certain file types in all subdirectories?

If you're using bash version > 4.0, you can exploit shopt -s globstar to make short work of this:

shopt -s globstar; tar -czvf deploy.tar.gz **/Alice*.yml **/Bob*.json

this will add all .yml files that starts with Alice from any sub-directory and add all .json files that starts with Bob from any sub-directory.

Why is the time complexity of both DFS and BFS O( V + E )

DFS(analysis):

Setting/getting a vertex/edge label takes O(1) time
Each vertex is labeled twice
- once as UNEXPLORED
- once as VISITED
Each edge is labeled twice
- once as UNEXPLORED
- once as DISCOVERY or BACK
Method incidentEdges is called once for each vertex
DFS runs in O(n + m) time provided the graph is represented by the adjacency list structure
Recall that Sv deg(v) = 2m

BFS(analysis):

Setting/getting a vertex/edge label takes O(1) time
Each vertex is labeled twice
- once as UNEXPLORED
- once as VISITED
Each edge is labeled twice
- once as UNEXPLORED
- once as DISCOVERY or CROSS
Each vertex is inserted once into a sequence Li
Method incidentEdges is called once for each vertex
BFS runs in O(n + m) time provided the graph is represented by the adjacency list structure
Recall that Sv deg(v) = 2m

How to detect a mobile device with JavaScript?

A pretty simple solution is to check for the screen width. Since almost all mobile devices have a max screen width of 480px (at present), it's pretty reliable:

if( screen.width <= 480 ) {
    location.href = '/mobile.html';
}

The user-agent string is also a place to look. However, the former solution is still better since even if some freaking device does not respond correctly for the user-agent, the screen width doesn't lie.

The only exception here are tablet pc's like the ipad. Those devices have a higher screen width than smartphones and I would probably go with the user-agent-string for those.

Prevent typing non-numeric in input type number

inputs[5].addEventListener('keydown', enterNumbers);

function enterNumbers(event) {
  if ((event.code == 'ArrowLeft') || (event.code == 'ArrowRight') ||
     (event.code == 'ArrowUp') || (event.code == 'ArrowDown') || 
     (event.code == 'Delete') || (event.code == 'Backspace')) {
     return;
  } else if (event.key.search(/\d/) == -1) {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
}

in this case, the value of the input field stays intact when a non-number button is pressed, and still delete, backspace, arrowup-down-left-right work properly and can be used for modifying the digital input.

Drop view if exists

To cater for the schema as well, use this format in SQL 2014

if exists(select 1 from sys.views V inner join sys.[schemas] S on  v.schema_id = s.schema_id where s.name='dbo' and v.name = 'someviewname' and v.type = 'v')
  drop view [dbo].[someviewname];
go

And just throwing it out there, to do stored procedures, because I needed that too:

if exists(select 1
          from sys.procedures p
          inner join sys.[schemas] S on p.schema_id = s.schema_id
          where
              s.name='dbo' and p.name = 'someprocname'
          and p.type in ('p', 'pc')
  drop procedure [dbo].[someprocname];
go

SQL Query NOT Between Two Dates

For there to be an overlap the table's start_date has to be LESS THAN the interval end date (i.e. it has to start before the end of the interval) AND the table's end_date has to be GREATER THAN the interval start date. You may need to use <= and >= depending on your requirements.

Android Webview - Completely Clear the Cache

This should clear your applications cache which should be where your webview cache is

                File[] temp = children[i].listFiles();
                for (int x = 0; x < temp.length; x++) {
                    temp[x].delete();
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Cache", "failed cache clean");

}

Difference between return and exit in Bash functions

Remember, functions are internal to a script and normally return from whence they were called by using the return statement. Calling an external script is another matter entirely, and scripts usually terminate with an exit statement.

The difference "between the return and exit statement in Bash functions with respect to exit codes" is very small. Both return a status, not values per se. A status of zero indicates success, while any other status (1 to 255) indicates a failure. The return statement will return to the script from where it was called, while the exit statement will end the entire script from wherever it is encountered.

return 0  # Returns to where the function was called.  $? contains 0 (success).

return 1  # Returns to where the function was called.  $? contains 1 (failure).

exit 0  # Exits the script completely.  $? contains 0 (success).

exit 1  # Exits the script completely.  $? contains 1 (failure).

If your function simply ends without a return statement, the status of the last command executed is returned as the status code (and will be placed in $?).

Remember, return and exit give back a status code from 0 to 255, available in $?. You cannot stuff anything else into a status code (e.g., return "cat"); it will not work. But, a script can pass back 255 different reasons for failure by using status codes.

You can set variables contained in the calling script, or echo results in the function and use command substitution in the calling script; but the purpose of return and exit are to pass status codes, not values or computation results as one might expect in a programming language like C.

jQuery: print_r() display equivalent?

You could use very easily reflection to list all properties, methods and values.

For Gecko based browsers you can use the .toSource() method:

var data = new Object();
data["firstname"] = "John";
data["lastname"] = "Smith";
data["age"] = 21;

alert(data.toSource()); //Will return "({firstname:"John", lastname:"Smith", age:21})"

But since you use Firebug, why not just use console.log?

How to disable scrolling temporarily?

How about this? (If you're using jQuery)

var $window = $(window);
var $body = $(window.document.body);

window.onscroll = function() {
    var overlay = $body.children(".ui-widget-overlay").first();

    // Check if the overlay is visible and restore the previous scroll state
    if (overlay.is(":visible")) {
        var scrollPos = $body.data("scroll-pos") || { x: 0, y: 0 };
        window.scrollTo(scrollPos.x, scrollPos.y);
    }
    else {
        // Just store the scroll state
        $body.data("scroll-pos", { x: $window.scrollLeft(), y: $window.scrollTop() });
    }
};

LIKE vs CONTAINS on SQL Server

I think that CONTAINS took longer and used Merge because you had a dash("-") in your query adventure-works.com.

The dash is a break word so the CONTAINS searched the full-text index for adventure and than it searched for works.com and merged the results.

Append values to a set in Python

Define set

a = set()

Use add to append single values

a.add(1)
a.add(2)

Use update to add elements from tuples, sets, lists or frozen-sets

a.update([3,4])

>> print(a)
{1, 2, 3, 4}

If you want to add a tuple or frozen-set itself, use add

a.add((5, 6))

>> print(a)
{1, 2, 3, 4, (5, 6)}

Note: Since set elements must be hashable, and lists are considered mutable, you cannot add a list to a set. You also cannot add other sets to a set. You can however, add the elements from lists and sets as demonstrated with the ".update" method.

The most efficient way to remove first N elements in a list?

Python lists were not made to operate on the beginning of the list and are very ineffective at this operation.

While you can write

mylist = [1, 2 ,3 ,4]
mylist.pop(0)

It's very inefficient.

If you only want to delete items from your list, you can do this with del:

del mylist[:n]

Which is also really fast:

In [34]: %%timeit
help=range(10000)
while help:
    del help[:1000]
   ....:
10000 loops, best of 3: 161 µs per loop

If you need to obtain elements from the beginning of the list, you should use collections.deque by Raymond Hettinger and its popleft() method.

from collections import deque

deque(['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'])

>>> d.pop()                          # return and remove the rightmost item
'j'
>>> d.popleft()                      # return and remove the leftmost item
'f'

A comparison:

list + pop(0)

In [30]: %%timeit
   ....: help=range(10000)
   ....: while help:
   ....:     help.pop(0)
   ....:
100 loops, best of 3: 17.9 ms per loop

deque + popleft()

In [33]: %%timeit
help=deque(range(10000))
while help:
    help.popleft()
   ....:
1000 loops, best of 3: 812 µs per loop

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

Since the SERVICE_USER table is not a pure join table, but has additional functional fields (blocked), you must map it as an entity, and decompose the many to many association between User and Service into two OneToMany associations : One User has many UserServices, and one Service has many UserServices.

You haven't shown us the most important part : the mapping and initialization of the relationships between your entities (i.e. the part you have problems with). So I'll show you how it should look like.

If you make the relationships bidirectional, you should thus have

class User {
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "user")
    private Set<UserService> userServices = new HashSet<UserService>();
}

class UserService {
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
    private User user;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "service_code")
    private Service service;

    @Column(name = "blocked")
    private boolean blocked;
}

class Service {
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "service")
    private Set<UserService> userServices = new HashSet<UserService>();
}

If you don't put any cascade on your relationships, then you must persist/save all the entities. Although only the owning side of the relationship (here, the UserService side) must be initialized, it's also a good practice to make sure both sides are in coherence.

User user = new User();
Service service = new Service();
UserService userService = new UserService();

user.addUserService(userService);
userService.setUser(user);

service.addUserService(userService);
userService.setService(service);

session.save(user);
session.save(service);
session.save(userService);

What is the best IDE to develop Android apps in?

An IDE which supports Android development is Processing for Android: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android. Processing is its own language but it's easy to learn. Processing for Android requires the JDK and Android SDK to be installed but runs on its own. It runs on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows (on a side note: one can develop a desktop app in Processing and then compile it to target any of these operating systems). Its development is ongoing but it works. It's especially good for quickly sketching up an idea and running it on your Android phone (even if you plan to develop it further in another IDE).

There is an active support forum here: http://forum.processing.org/android-processing.

How to exclude particular class name in CSS selector?

Method 1

The problem with your code is that you are selecting the .remode_hover that is a descendant of .remode_selected. So the first part of getting your code to work correctly is by removing that space

.reMode_selected.reMode_hover:hover

Then, in order to get the style to not work, you have to override the style set by the :hover. In other words, you need to counter the background-color property. So the final code will be

.reMode_selected.reMode_hover:hover {
  background-color:inherit;
}
.reMode_hover:hover {
  background-color: #f0ac00;
}

Fiddle

Method 2

An alternative method would be to use :not(), as stated by others. This will return any element that doesn't have the class or property stated inside the parenthesis. In this case, you would put .remode_selected in there. This will target all elements that don't have a class of .remode_selected

Fiddle

However, I would not recommend this method, because of the fact that it was introduced in CSS3, so browser support is not ideal.

Method 3

A third method would be to use jQuery. You can target the .not() selector, which would be similar to using :not() in CSS, but with much better browser support

How do I copy directories recursively with gulp?

So - the solution of providing a base works given that all of the paths have the same base path. But if you want to provide different base paths, this still won't work.

One way I solved this problem was by making the beginning of the path relative. For your case:

gulp.src([
    'index.php',
    '*css/**/*',
    '*js/**/*',
    '*src/**/*',
])
.pipe(gulp.dest('/var/www/'));

The reason this works is that Gulp sets the base to be the end of the first explicit chunk - the leading * causes it to set the base at the cwd (which is the result that we all want!)

This only works if you can ensure your folder structure won't have certain paths that could match twice. For example, if you had randomjs/ at the same level as js, you would end up matching both.

This is the only way that I have found to include these as part of a top-level gulp.src function. It would likely be simple to create a plugin/function that could separate out each of those globs so you could specify the base directory for them, however.

What are the differences between Abstract Factory and Factory design patterns?

Difference between AbstractFactory and Factory design patterns are as follows:

Factory Method is used to create one product only but Abstract Factory is about creating families of related or dependent products.
Factory Method pattern exposes a method to the client for creating the object whereas in the case of Abstract Factory they expose a family of related objects which may consist of these Factory methods.
Factory Method pattern hides the construction of a single object whereas Abstract Factory hides the construction of a family of related objects. Abstract factories are usually implemented using (a set of) factory methods.
Abstract Factory pattern uses composition to delegate the responsibility of creating an object to another class while Factory Method design pattern uses inheritance and relies on a derived class or subclass to create an object.
The idea behind the Factory Method pattern is that it allows for the case where a client doesn't know what concrete classes it will be required to create at runtime, but just wants to get a class that will do the job while Abstract Factory pattern is best utilized when your system has to create multiple families of products or you want to provide a library of products without exposing the implementation details.!

Replace invalid values with None in Pandas DataFrame

With Pandas version =1.0.0, I would use DataFrame.replace or Series.replace:

df.replace(old_val, pd.NA, inplace=True)

This is better for two reasons:

It uses pd.NA instead of None or np.nan.
It replaces the value in-place which could be more memory efficient.

Is there a way to get version from package.json in nodejs code?

There is another way of fetching certain information from your package.json file namely using pkginfo module.

Usage of this module is very simple. You can get all package variables using:

require('pkginfo')(module);

Or only certain details (version in this case)

require('pkginfo')(module, 'version');

And your package variables will be set to module.exports (so version number will be accessible via module.exports.version).

You could use the following code snippet:

require('pkginfo')(module, 'version');
console.log "Express server listening on port %d in %s mode %s", app.address().port, app.settings.env, module.exports.version

This module has very nice feature - it can be used in any file in your project (e.g. in subfolders) and it will automatically fetch information from your package.json. So you do not have to worry where you package.json is.

I hope that will help.

Any way to replace characters on Swift String?

A Swift 3 solution along the lines of Sunkas's:

extension String {
    mutating func replace(_ originalString:String, with newString:String) {
        self = self.replacingOccurrences(of: originalString, with: newString)
    }
}

Use:

var string = "foo!"
string.replace("!", with: "?")
print(string)

Output:

foo?

What is the difference between json.dump() and json.dumps() in python?

There isn't much else to add other than what the docs say. If you want to dump the JSON into a file/socket or whatever, then you should go with dump(). If you only need it as a string (for printing, parsing or whatever) then use dumps() (dump string)

As mentioned by Antti Haapala in this answer, there are some minor differences on the ensure_ascii behaviour. This is mostly due to how the underlying write() function works, being that it operates on chunks rather than the whole string. Check his answer for more details on that.

json.dump()

Serialize obj as a JSON formatted stream to fp (a .write()-supporting file-like object

If ensure_ascii is False, some chunks written to fp may be unicode instances

json.dumps()

Serialize obj to a JSON formatted str

If ensure_ascii is False, the result may contain non-ASCII characters and the return value may be a unicode instance

How to get text of an element in Selenium WebDriver, without including child element text?

In the HTML which you have shared:

<div id="a">This is some
   <div id="b">text</div>
</div>

The text This is some is within a text node. To depict the text node in a structured way:

<div id="a">
    This is some
   <div id="b">text</div>
</div>

This Usecase

To extract and print the text This is some from the text node using Selenium's python client you have 2 ways as follows:

Using splitlines(): You can identify the parent element i.e. <div id="a">, extract the innerHTML and then use splitlines() as follows:

using xpath:

print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='a']").get_attribute("innerHTML").splitlines()[0])

using xpath:

print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div#a").get_attribute("innerHTML").splitlines()[0])

Using execute_script(): You can also use the execute_script() method which can synchronously execute JavaScript in the current window/frame as follows:

using xpath and firstChild:

parent_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='a']")
print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;', parent_element).strip())

using xpath and childNodes[n]:

parent_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@id='a']")
print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].childNodes[1].textContent;', parent_element).strip())

How do I pass variables and data from PHP to JavaScript?

Simply use one of the following methods.

<script type="text/javascript">
var js_variable  = '<?php echo $php_variable;?>';
<script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var js_variable = <?php echo json_encode($php_variable); ?>; 
</script>

How can I erase all inline styles with javascript and leave only the styles specified in the css style sheet?

$('div').attr('style', '');

$('div').removeAttr('style'); (From Andres's Answer)

To make this a little smaller, try this:

$('div[style]').removeAttr('style');

This should speed it up a little because it checks that the divs have the style attribute.

Either way, this might take a little while to process if you have a large amount of divs, so you might want to consider other methods than javascript.

How do you convert epoch time in C#?

UPDATE 2020

You can do this with DateTimeOffset

DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeSeconds(epochSeconds);
DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset2 = DateTimeOffset.FromUnixTimeMilliseconds(epochMilliseconds);

And if you need the DateTime object instead of DateTimeOffset, then you can call the DateTime property

DateTime dateTime = dateTimeOffset.DateTime;

Original answer

I presume that you mean Unix time, which is defined as the number of seconds since midnight (UTC) on 1st January 1970.

private static readonly DateTime epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

public static DateTime FromUnixTime(long unixTime)
{
    return epoch.AddSeconds(unixTime);
}

Get css top value as number not as string?

A jQuery plugin based on M4N's answer

jQuery.fn.cssNumber = function(prop){
    var v = parseInt(this.css(prop),10);
    return isNaN(v) ? 0 : v;
};

So then you just use this method to get number values

$("#logo").cssNumber("top")

How to check whether the user uploaded a file in PHP?

You can use is_uploaded_file():

if(!file_exists($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name']) || !is_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'])) {
    echo 'No upload';
}

From the docs:

Returns TRUE if the file named by filename was uploaded via HTTP POST. This is useful to help ensure that a malicious user hasn't tried to trick the script into working on files upon which it should not be working--for instance, /etc/passwd.

This sort of check is especially important if there is any chance that anything done with uploaded files could reveal their contents to the user, or even to other users on the same system.

EDIT: I'm using this in my FileUpload class, in case it helps:

public function fileUploaded()
{
    if(empty($_FILES)) {
        return false;       
    } 
    $this->file = $_FILES[$this->formField];
    if(!file_exists($this->file['tmp_name']) || !is_uploaded_file($this->file['tmp_name'])){
        $this->errors['FileNotExists'] = true;
        return false;
    }   
    return true;
}

How are zlib, gzip and zip related? What do they have in common and how are they different?

The most important difference is that gzip is only capable to compress a single file while zip compresses multiple files one by one and archives them into one single file afterwards. Thus, gzip comes along with tar most of the time (there are other possibilities, though). This comes along with some (dis)advantages.

If you have a big archive and you only need one single file out of it, you have to decompress the whole gzip file to get to that file. This is not required if you have a zip file.

On the other hand, if you compress 10 similiar or even identical files, the zip archive will be much bigger because each file is compressed individually, whereas in gzip in combination with tar a single file is compressed which is much more effective if the files are similiar (equal).

Calculate mean across dimension in a 2D array

Here is a non-numpy solution:

Best way to get whole number part of a Decimal number

Depends on what you're doing.

For instance:

//bankers' rounding - midpoint goes to nearest even
GetIntPart(2.5) >> 2
GetIntPart(5.5) >> 6
GetIntPart(-6.5) >> -6

//arithmetic rounding - midpoint goes away from zero
GetIntPart(2.5) >> 3
GetIntPart(5.5) >> 6
GetIntPart(-6.5) >> -7

The default is always the former, which can be a surprise but makes very good sense.

Your explicit cast will do:

int intPart = (int)343564564.5
// intPart will be 343564564

int intPart = (int)343564565.5
// intPart will be 343564566

From the way you've worded the question it sounds like this isn't what you want - you want to floor it every time.

I would do:

Math.Floor(Math.Abs(number));

Also check the size of your decimal - they can be quite big, so you may need to use a long.

Get current time as formatted string in Go?

Use the time.Now() function and the time.Format() method.

t := time.Now()
fmt.Println(t.Format("20060102150405"))

prints out 20110504111515, or at least it did a few minutes ago. (I'm on Eastern Daylight Time.) There are several pre-defined time formats in the constants defined in the time package.

You can use time.Now().UTC() if you'd rather have UTC than your local time zone.

add an element to int [] array in java

You'll need to create a new array if you want to add an index.

Try this:

    series = addInt(series, x);

    //print out the array with commas as delimiters
    System.out.print("New series: ");
    for (int i = 0; i < series.length; i++){
        if (i == series.length - 1){
            System.out.println(series[i]);
        }
        else{
            System.out.print(series[i] + ", ");
        }
    }
}

// here, create a method

public static int[] addInt(int [] series, int newInt){
    //create a new array with extra index
    int[] newSeries = new int[series.length + 1];

    //copy the integers from series to newSeries    
    for (int i = 0; i < series.length; i++){
        newSeries[i] = series[i];
    }
//add the new integer to the last index     
    newSeries[newSeries.length - 1] = newInt;



    return newSeries;

How to undo local changes to a specific file

You don't want git revert. That undoes a previous commit. You want git checkout to get git's version of the file from master.

git checkout -- filename.txt

In general, when you want to perform a git operation on a single file, use -- filename.

2020 Update

Git introduced a new command git restore in version 2.23.0. Therefore, if you have git version 2.23.0+, you can simply git restore filename.txt - which does the same thing as git checkout -- filename.txt. The docs for this command do note that it is currently experimental.

On any worksheet (tab) press F5 and type Attribute_Brands into the reference box and click on the OK button.

This will take you to the named range.

The data in it can be updated by typing new values into the cells.

The named range can be altered via the 'Insert - Name - Define' menu.

What is the best way to do a substring in a batch file?

Nicely explained above!

For all those who may suffer like me to get this working in a localized Windows (mine is XP in Slovak), you may try to replace the % with a !

So:

SET TEXT=Hello World
SET SUBSTRING=!TEXT:~3,5!
ECHO !SUBSTRING!

GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM problem when working with terminal and MacFusion

Coming here from first Google hit:

You can turn off the behavior AND and warning by exporting GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1.

On heroku, if you heroku config:set GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1 the warning will go away.

It's probably because you are building a gem from source and the gemspec shells out to git, like many do today. So, you'll still get the warning fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git but addressing that is for another day :)

My answer is a duplicate of: - comment GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM problem when working with terminal and MacFusion

How can I center an image in Bootstrap?

Since the img is an inline element, Just use text-center on it's container. Using mx-auto will center the container (column) too.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-4 mx-auto text-center">
        <img src="..">
    </div>
</div>

By default, images are display:inline. If you only want the center the image (and not the other column content), make the image display:block using the d-block class, and then mx-auto will work.

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-4">
    <img class="mx-auto d-block" src="..">
  </div>
</div>

How to print an unsigned char in C?

This is because in this case the char type is signed on your system^*. When this happens, the data gets sign-extended during the default conversions while passing the data to the function with variable number of arguments. Since 212 is greater than 0x80, it's treated as negative, %u interprets the number as a large positive number:

212 = 0xD4

When it is sign-extended, FFs are pre-pended to your number, so it becomes

0xFFFFFFD4 = 4294967252

which is the number that gets printed.

Note that this behavior is specific to your implementation. According to C99 specification, all char types are promoted to (signed) int, because an int can represent all values of a char, signed or unsigned:

6.1.1.2: If an int can represent all values of the original type, the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int.

This results in passing an int to a format specifier %u, which expects an unsigned int.

To avoid undefined behavior in your program, add explicit type casts as follows:

unsigned char ch = (unsigned char)212;
printf("%u", (unsigned int)ch);

^* In general, the standard leaves the signedness of char up to the implementation. See this question for more details.

Call parent method from child class c#

To follow up on the comment by suhendri to Rory McCrossan answer. Here is an Action delegate example:

In child add:

public Action UpdateProgress;  // In place of event handler declaration
                               // declare an Action delegate
.
.
.
private LoadData() {
    this.UpdateProgress();    // call to Action delegate - MyMethod in
                              // parent
}

In parent add:

// The 3 lines in the parent becomes:
ChildClass child = new ChildClass();
child.UpdateProgress = this.MyMethod;  // assigns MyMethod to child delegate

Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working

If you are still having issues, try running these steps from VMware to disable credential guard. Worked for me, finally. Steps and link are posted below, not taking credit for them.

Original content from https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2146361

To disable Device Guard or Credential Guard on Itanium based computers:

Disable the group policy setting that was used to enable Credential Guard.

On the host operating system, click Start > Run, type gpedit.msc, and click Ok. The Local group Policy Editor opens.

Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard > Turn on Virtualization Based Security.

Select Disabled.
Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off to turn off Hyper-V. [ remove a program on Windows 8 or earlier]
Select Do not restart.
Delete the related EFI variables by launching a command prompt on the host machine using an Administrator account and run these commands:

enter code here

mountvol X: /s

copy %WINDIR%\System32\SecConfig.efi X:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi /Y

bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader

bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi"

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootsequence {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215}

bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} loadoptions DISABLE-LSA-ISO,DISABLE-VBS

bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} device partition=X:

mountvol X: /d

Note: Ensure X is an unused drive, else change to another drive.

Restart the host.
Accept the prompt on the boot screen to disable Device Guard or Credential Guard.

You should be able to install and start HAXM now

HTTPS setup in Amazon EC2

This answer is focused to someone that buy a domain in another site (as GoDaddy) and want to use the Amazon free certificate with Certificate Manager

This answer uses Amazon Classic Load Balancer (paid) see the pricing before using it

Step 1 - Request a certificate with Certificate Manager

Go to Certificate Manager > Request Certificate > Request a public certificate

On Domain name you will add myprojectdomainname.com and *.myprojectdomainname.com and go on Next

Chose Email validation and Confirm and Request

Open the email that you have received (on the email account that you have buyed the domain) and aprove the request

After this, check if the validation status of myprojectdomainname.com and *.myprojectdomainname.com is sucess, if is sucess you can continue to Step 2

Step 2 - Create a Security Group to a Load Balancer

On EC2 go to Security Groups > and Create a Security Group and add the http and https inbound

It will be something like:

Step 3 - Create the Load Balancer

EC2 > Load Balancer > Create Load Balancer > Classic Load Balancer (Third option)

Create LB inside - the vpc of your project On Load Balancer Protocol add Http and Https

Next > Select exiting security group

Choose the security group that you have create in the previous step

Next > Choose certificate from ACM

Select the certificate of the step 1

Next >

on Health check i've used the ping path / (one slash instead of /index.html)

Step 4 - Associate your instance with the security group of load balancer

EC2 > Instances > click on your project > Actions > Networking > Change Security Groups

Add the Security Group of your Load Balancer

Step 5

EC2 > Load Balancer > Click on the load balancer that you have created > copy the DNS Name (A Record), it will be something like myproject-2021611191.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

Go to Route 53 > Routes Zones > click on the domain name > Go to Records Sets (If you are don't have your domain here, create a hosted zone with Domain Name: myprojectdomainname.com and Type: Public Hosted Zone)

Check if you have a record type A (probably not), create/edit record set with name empty, type A, alias Yes and Target the dns that you have copied

Create also a new Record Set of type A, name *.myprojectdomainname.com, alias Yes and Target your domain (myprojectdomainname.com). This will make possible access your site with www.myprojectdomainname.com and subsite.myprojectdomainname.com. Note: You will need to configure your reverse proxy (Nginx/Apache) to do so.

On NS copy the 4 Name Servers values to use on the next Step, it will be something like:

ns-362.awsdns-45.com ns-1558.awsdns-02.co.uk ns-737.awsdns-28.net ns-1522.awsdns-62.org

Go to EC2 > Instances > And copy the IPv4 Public IP too

Step 6

On the domain register site that you have buyed the domain (in my case GoDaddy)

Change the routing to http : <Your IPv4 Public IP Number> and select Forward with masking

Change the Name Servers (NS) to the 4 NS that you have copied, this can take 48 hours to make effect

How to auto adjust the <div> height according to content in it?

simply set the height to auto, that should fix the problem, because div are block elements so they stretch out to full width and height of any element contained in it. if height set to auto not working then simple don't add the height, it should adjust and make sure that the div is not inheriting any height from it's parent element as well...

How should I validate an e-mail address?

Use simple one line code for email Validation

public static boolean isValidEmail(CharSequence target) {
    return !TextUtils.isEmpty(target) && android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(target).matches();
}

use like...

if (!isValidEmail(yourEdittext.getText().toString()) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "your email is not valid", 2000).show();
}

Evaluating string "3*(4+2)" yield int 18

You could look at "XpathNavigator.Evaluate" I have used this to process mathematical expressions for my GridView and it works fine for me.

Here is the code I used for my program:

public static double Evaluate(string expression)
{
    return (double)new System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument
    (new StringReader("<r/>")).CreateNavigator().Evaluate
    (string.Format("number({0})", new
    System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"([\+\-\*])")
    .Replace(expression, " ${1} ")
    .Replace("/", " div ")
    .Replace("%", " mod ")));
}

Convert hours:minutes:seconds into total minutes in excel

Just use the formula

120 = (HOUR(A8)*3600+MINUTE(A8)*60+SECOND(A8))/60

Add text at the end of each line

Using a text editor, check for ^M (control-M, or carriage return) at the end of each line. You will need to remove them first, then append the additional text at the end of the line.

sed -i 's|^M||g' ips.txt
sed -i 's|$|:80|g' ips.txt

Lining up labels with radio buttons in bootstrap

This may work for you, Please try this.

<form>
  <div class="form-inline">
    <div class="controls-row">
      <label class="control-label">Some label</label>
      <label class="radio inline">
        <input type="radio" value="1" />First
      </label>
      <label class="radio inline">
        <input type="radio" value="2" />Second
      </label>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

Reload a DIV without reloading the whole page

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.0/jquery.min.js" />

<div class="View"><?php include 'Small.php'; ?></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.View').load('Small.php');
var auto_refresh = setInterval(
    function ()
    {
        $('.View').load('Small.php').fadeIn("slow");
    }, 15000); // refresh every 15000 milliseconds
        $.ajaxSetup({ cache: true });
    });
</script>

What is the difference between Double.parseDouble(String) and Double.valueOf(String)?

Documentation for parseDouble() says "Returns a new double initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as performed by the valueOf method of class Double.", so they should be identical.

How to Find App Pool Recycles in Event Log

As link-only answers are not preferred, I will just copy and paste the content of the link of the accepted answer

It is definitely System Log.

Which Log file? Well -- you can check the physical path by right-clicking on the System Log (e.g. Server Manager | Diagnostics | Event Viewer | Windows Logs). The default physical path is %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\System.evtx.

You can create a Custom Filter and filter by "Source: WAS" to quickly see only entries generated by IIS.

You may need first to enable logging of such even for a specific App Pool -- by default App Pool has only 3 recycle events out of 8 enabled. To change it using GUI: II S Manager | Application Pools | Select App Pool -> Advanced Settings | Generate Recycle Event Log Entry.

Regex to split a CSV

The advantage of using JScript for classic ASP pages is that you can use one of the many, many libraries that have been written for JavaScript.

Like this one: https://github.com/gkindel/CSV-JS. Download it, include it in your ASP page, parse CSV with it.

<%@ language="javascript" %>

<script language="javascript" runat="server" src="scripts/csv.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" runat="server">

var text = '123,2.99,AMO024,Title,"Description, more info",,123987564',
    rows = CSV.parse(line);

    Response.Write(rows[0][4]);
</script>

How to download the latest artifact from Artifactory repository?

You can use the wget --user=USER --password=PASSWORD .. command, but before you can do that, you must allow artifactory to force authentication, which can be done by unchecking the "Hide Existence of Unauthorized Resources" box at Security/General tab in artifactory admin panel. Otherwise artifactory sends a 404 page and wget can not authenticate to artifactory.

Expand/collapse section in UITableView in iOS

I got a nice solution inspired by Apple's Table View Animations and Gestures. I deleted unnecessary parts from Apple's sample and translated it into swift.

I know the answer is quite long, but all the code is necessary. Fortunately, you can just copy and paste most of the code and just need to do a bit modification on step 1 and 3

1.create SectionHeaderView.swift and SectionHeaderView.xib

import UIKit

protocol SectionHeaderViewDelegate {
    func sectionHeaderView(sectionHeaderView: SectionHeaderView, sectionOpened: Int)
    func sectionHeaderView(sectionHeaderView: SectionHeaderView, sectionClosed: Int)
}

class SectionHeaderView: UITableViewHeaderFooterView {
    
    var section: Int?
    @IBOutlet weak var titleLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var disclosureButton: UIButton!
    @IBAction func toggleOpen() {
        self.toggleOpenWithUserAction(true)
    }
    var delegate: SectionHeaderViewDelegate?
    
    func toggleOpenWithUserAction(userAction: Bool) {
        self.disclosureButton.selected = !self.disclosureButton.selected
        
        if userAction {
            if self.disclosureButton.selected {
                self.delegate?.sectionHeaderView(self, sectionClosed: self.section!)
            } else {
                self.delegate?.sectionHeaderView(self, sectionOpened: self.section!)
            }
        }
    }
    
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        var tapGesture: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "toggleOpen")
        self.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
        // change the button image here, you can also set image via IB.
        self.disclosureButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "arrow_up"), forState: UIControlState.Selected)
        self.disclosureButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "arrow_down"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
    }
    
}

the SectionHeaderView.xib(the view with gray background) should look something like this in a tableview(you can customize it according to your needs, of course): enter image description here

note:

a) the toggleOpen action should be linked to disclosureButton

b) the disclosureButton and toggleOpen action are not necessary. You can delete these 2 things if you don't need the button.

2.create SectionInfo.swift

import UIKit

class SectionInfo: NSObject {
    var open: Bool = true
    var itemsInSection: NSMutableArray = []
    var sectionTitle: String?
    
    init(itemsInSection: NSMutableArray, sectionTitle: String) {
        self.itemsInSection = itemsInSection
        self.sectionTitle = sectionTitle
    }
}

3.in your tableview

import UIKit

class TableViewController: UITableViewController, SectionHeaderViewDelegate  {
    
    let SectionHeaderViewIdentifier = "SectionHeaderViewIdentifier"
    
    var sectionInfoArray: NSMutableArray = []
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        let sectionHeaderNib: UINib = UINib(nibName: "SectionHeaderView", bundle: nil)
        self.tableView.registerNib(sectionHeaderNib, forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier: SectionHeaderViewIdentifier)
        
        // you can change section height based on your needs
        self.tableView.sectionHeaderHeight = 30
        
        // You should set up your SectionInfo here
        var firstSection: SectionInfo = SectionInfo(itemsInSection: ["1"], sectionTitle: "firstSection")
        var secondSection: SectionInfo = SectionInfo(itemsInSection: ["2"], sectionTitle: "secondSection"))
        sectionInfoArray.addObjectsFromArray([firstSection, secondSection])
    }
    
    // MARK: - Table view data source
    
    override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return sectionInfoArray.count
    }
    
    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        if self.sectionInfoArray.count > 0 {
            var sectionInfo: SectionInfo = sectionInfoArray[section] as! SectionInfo
            if sectionInfo.open {
                return sectionInfo.open ? sectionInfo.itemsInSection.count : 0
            }
        }
        return 0
    }
    
    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
        let sectionHeaderView: SectionHeaderView! = self.tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterViewWithIdentifier(SectionHeaderViewIdentifier) as! SectionHeaderView
        var sectionInfo: SectionInfo = sectionInfoArray[section] as! SectionInfo
        
        sectionHeaderView.titleLabel.text = sectionInfo.sectionTitle
        sectionHeaderView.section = section
        sectionHeaderView.delegate = self
        let backGroundView = UIView()
        // you can customize the background color of the header here
        backGroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red:0.89, green:0.89, blue:0.89, alpha:1)
        sectionHeaderView.backgroundView = backGroundView
        return sectionHeaderView
    }
    
    func sectionHeaderView(sectionHeaderView: SectionHeaderView, sectionOpened: Int) {
        var sectionInfo: SectionInfo = sectionInfoArray[sectionOpened] as! SectionInfo
        var countOfRowsToInsert = sectionInfo.itemsInSection.count
        sectionInfo.open = true
        
        var indexPathToInsert: NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()
        for i in 0..<countOfRowsToInsert {
            indexPathToInsert.addObject(NSIndexPath(forRow: i, inSection: sectionOpened))
        }
        self.tableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths(indexPathToInsert as [AnyObject], withRowAnimation: .Top)
    }
    
    func sectionHeaderView(sectionHeaderView: SectionHeaderView, sectionClosed: Int) {
        var sectionInfo: SectionInfo = sectionInfoArray[sectionClosed] as! SectionInfo
        var countOfRowsToDelete = sectionInfo.itemsInSection.count
        sectionInfo.open = false
        if countOfRowsToDelete > 0 {
            var indexPathToDelete: NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()
            for i in 0..<countOfRowsToDelete {
                indexPathToDelete.addObject(NSIndexPath(forRow: i, inSection: sectionClosed))
            }
            self.tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths(indexPathToDelete as [AnyObject], withRowAnimation: .Top)
        }
    }
}

How can I generate a tsconfig.json file?

this worked for me:

tsc --init

How do I obtain crash-data from my Android application?

Ok, well I looked at the provided samples from rrainn and Soonil, and I found a solution that does not mess up error handling.

I modified the CustomExceptionHandler so it stores the original UncaughtExceptionHandler from the Thread we associate the new one. At the end of the new "uncaughtException"- Method I just call the old function using the stored UncaughtExceptionHandler.

In the DefaultExceptionHandler class you need sth. like this:

public class DefaultExceptionHandler implements UncaughtExceptionHandler{
  private UncaughtExceptionHandler mDefaultExceptionHandler;

  //constructor
  public DefaultExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandler pDefaultExceptionHandler)
  {
       mDefaultExceptionHandler= pDefaultExceptionHandler;
  }
  public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {       
        //do some action like writing to file or upload somewhere         

        //call original handler  
        mStandardEH.uncaughtException(t, e);        

        // cleanup, don't know if really required
        t.getThreadGroup().destroy();
  }
}

With that modification on the code at http://code.google.com/p/android-remote-stacktrace you have a good working base for logging in the field to your webserver or to sd-card.

How to convert answer into two decimal point

Try using the Format function:

Private Sub btncalc_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
                          ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btncalc.Click
  txtA.Text = Format(Val(txtD.Text) / Val(txtC.Text) * 
                     Val(txtF.Text) / Val(txtE.Text), "0.00")
  txtB.Text = Format(Val(txtA.Text) * 1000 / Val(txtG.Text), "0.00")
End Sub

How to return an array from an AJAX call?

well, I know that I'm a bit too late, but I tried all of your solutions and with no success! So here is how I managed to do it. First of all, I'm working on an Asp.Net MVC project. The Only thing I changed was in my c# method getInvitation:

public ActionResult getInvitation (Guid s_ID)
{
    using (var db = new cRM_Verband_BWEntities())
    {
        var listSidsMit = (from data in db.TERMINEINLADUNGEN where data.RECID_KOMMUNIKATIONEN == s_ID select data.RECID_MITARBEITER.ToString()).ToArray();
        return Json(listSidsMit);
    }
}

SuccessFunction in JS :

function successFunction(result) {
    console.log(result);
}

I changed the Method Type from string[] to ActionResult and of course at the end I wrapped my array listSidsMit with the Json method.

Convert ascii char[] to hexadecimal char[] in C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void){
    char word[17], outword[33];//17:16+1, 33:16*2+1
    int i, len;

    printf("Intro word:");
    fgets(word, sizeof(word), stdin);
    len = strlen(word);
    if(word[len-1]=='\n')
        word[--len] = '\0';

    for(i = 0; i<len; i++){
        sprintf(outword+i*2, "%02X", word[i]);
    }
    printf("%s\n", outword);
    return 0;
}

Create web service proxy in Visual Studio from a WSDL file

On the side note: if you have all of the files locally (not only wsdl file but also xsd files) you can invoke wsdl.exe in that manner:

wsdl.exe [path to your wsdl file] [paths to xsd files imported by wsdl]

That way wsdl.exe can resolve all dependecies locally and correctly generates proxy class.

Maybe it will save somebody some time - it solves "missing type" error when service is not avaliable online.

c:\work\divrat\divrat.m

If it returns:

>> which divrat
'divrat' not found.

It is not on the MATLAB path or in PWD.

Second, make sure that the directory that contains divrat is on the MATLAB path using the PATH command. It may be that a directory that you thought was on the path isn't actually on the path.

Finally, make sure you aren't using a "private" directory. If divrat is in a directory named private, it will be accessible by functions in the parent directory, but not from the MATLAB command line:

>> foo

ans =

     1

>> divrat(1,1)
??? Undefined function or method 'divrat' for input arguments of type 'double'.

>> which -all divrat
c:\work\divrat\private\divrat.m  % Private to divrat

How to calculate the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution function in python?

Starting Python 3.8, the standard library provides the NormalDist object as part of the statistics module.

It can be used to get the inverse cumulative distribution function (inv_cdf - inverse of the cdf), also known as the quantile function or the percent-point function for a given mean (mu) and standard deviation (sigma):

from statistics import NormalDist

NormalDist(mu=10, sigma=2).inv_cdf(0.95)
# 13.289707253902943

Which can be simplified for the standard normal distribution (mu = 0 and sigma = 1):

NormalDist().inv_cdf(0.95)
# 1.6448536269514715

How to detect page zoom level in all modern browsers?

On mobile devices (with Chrome for Android or Opera Mobile) you can detect zoom by window.visualViewport.scale. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Visual_Viewport_API

Attach parameter to button.addTarget action in Swift

This is more of an important comment. Sharing references of sytanx that is acceptable out of the box. For hack solutions look at other answers.

Per Apple's docs, Action Method Definitions have to be either one of these three. Anything else is unaccepted.

How to read response headers in angularjs?

Why not simply try this:

var promise = $http.get(url, {
    params: query
}).then(function(response) {
  console.log('Content-Range: ' + response.headers('Content-Range'));
  return response.data;
});

Especially if you want to return the promise so it could be a part of a promises chain.

How to convert from []byte to int in Go Programming

For encoding/decoding numbers to/from byte sequences, there's the encoding/binary package. There are examples in the documentation: see the Examples section in the table of contents.

These encoding functions operate on io.Writer interfaces. The net.TCPConn type implements io.Writer, so you can write/read directly to network connections.

If you've got a Go program on either side of the connection, you may want to look at using encoding/gob. See the article "Gobs of data" for a walkthrough of using gob (skip to the bottom to see a self-contained example).

How to add Active Directory user group as login in SQL Server

Go to the SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to Security, go to Logins and right click it. A Menu will come up with a button saying "New Login". There you will be able to add users and/or groups from Active Directory to your SQL Server "permissions". Hope this helps

My httpd.conf is empty

It seems to me, that it is by design that this file is empty.

A similar question has been asked here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2567432/ubuntu-apache-httpd-conf-or-apache2-conf

So, you should have a look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

alternative to "!is.null()" in R

I have also seen:

if(length(obj)) {
  # do this if object has length
  # NULL has no length
}

I don't think it's great though. Because some vectors can be of length 0. character(0), logical(0), integer(0) and that might be treated as a NULL instead of an error.

Smooth scrolling with just pure css

You can do this with pure CSS but you will need to hard code the offset scroll amounts, which may not be ideal should you be changing page content- or should dimensions of your content change on say window resize.

You're likely best placed to use e.g. jQuery, specifically:

$('html, body').stop().animate({
   scrollTop: element.offset().top
}, 1000);

A complete implementation may be:

$('#up, #down').on('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var target= $(this).get(0).id == 'up' ? $('#down') : $('#up');
    $('html, body').stop().animate({
       scrollTop: target.offset().top
    }, 1000);
});

Where element is the target element to scroll to and 1000 is the delay in ms before completion.

Demo Fiddle

The benefit being, no matter what changes to your content dimensions, the function will not need to be altered.

How to list processes attached to a shared memory segment in linux?

Check if a string contains a string in C++

From so many answers in this website I didn't find out a clear answer so in 5-10 minutes I figured it out the answer myself. But this can be done in two cases:

Either you KNOW the position of the sub-string you search for in the string
Either you don't know the position and search for it, char by char...

So, let's assume we search for the substring "cd" in the string "abcde", and we use the simplest substr built-in function in C++

for 1:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

    using namespace std;
int i;

int main()
{
    string a = "abcde";
    string b = a.substr(2,2);    // 2 will be c. Why? because we start counting from 0 in a string, not from 1.

    cout << "substring of a is: " << b << endl;
    return 0;
}

for 2:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int i;

int main()
{
    string a = "abcde";

    for (i=0;i<a.length(); i++)
    {
        if (a.substr(i,2) == "cd")
        {
        cout << "substring of a is: " << a.substr(i,2) << endl;    // i will iterate from 0 to 5 and will display the substring only when the condition is fullfilled 
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

#1025 - Error on rename of './database/#sql-2e0f_1254ba7' to './database/table' (errno: 150)

I had this problem, it is for foreign-key

Click on the Relation View (like the image below) then find name of the field you are going to remove it, and under the Foreign key constraint (INNODB) column, just put the select to nothing! Means no foreign-key

Hope that works!

Why is it bad practice to call System.gc()?

Sometimes (not often!) you do truly know more about past, current and future memory usage then the run time does. This does not happen very often, and I would claim never in a web application while normal pages are being served.

Many year ago I work on a report generator, that

Had a single thread
Read the “report request” from a queue
Loaded the data needed for the report from the database
Generated the report and emailed it out.
Repeated forever, sleeping when there were no outstanding requests.
It did not reuse any data between reports and did not do any cashing.

Firstly as it was not real time and the users expected to wait for a report, a delay while the GC run was not an issue, but we needed to produce reports at a rate that was faster than they were requested.

Looking at the above outline of the process, it is clear that.

We know there would be very few live objects just after a report had been emailed out, as the next request had not started being processed yet.
It is well known that the cost of running a garbage collection cycle is depending on the number of live objects, the amount of garbage has little effect on the cost of a GC run.
That when the queue is empty there is nothing better to do then run the GC.

Therefore clearly it was well worth while doing a GC run whenever the request queue was empty; there was no downside to this.

It may be worth doing a GC run after each report is emailed, as we know this is a good time for a GC run. However if the computer had enough ram, better results would be obtained by delaying the GC run.

This behaviour was configured on a per installation bases, for some customers enabling a forced GC after each report greatly speeded up the protection of reports. (I expect this was due to low memory on their server and it running lots of other processes, so hence a well time forced GC reduced paging.)

We never detected an installation that did not benefit was a forced GC run every time the work queue was empty.

But, let be clear, the above is not a common case.

SQL, How to Concatenate results?

With MSSQL you can do something like this:

declare @result varchar(500)
set @result = ''
select @result = @result + ModuleValue + ', ' 
from TableX where ModuleId = @ModuleId

Regular Expression for matching parentheses

The solution consists in a regex pattern matching open and closing parenthesis

String str = "Your(String)";
// parameter inside split method is the pattern that matches opened and closed parenthesis, 
// that means all characters inside "[ ]" escaping parenthesis with "\\" -> "[\\(\\)]"
String[] parts = str.split("[\\(\\)]");
for (String part : parts) {
   // I print first "Your", in the second round trip "String"
   System.out.println(part);
}

Writing in Java 8's style, this can be solved in this way:

Arrays.asList("Your(String)".split("[\\(\\)]"))
    .forEach(System.out::println);

I hope it is clear.

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

When your program is waiting for I/O (ie. a disk read/write or network read/write etc), the CPU is free to do other tasks even if your program is stopped. The speed of your program will mostly depend on how fast that IO can happen, and if you want to speed it up you will need to speed up the I/O.

If your program is running lots of program instructions and not waiting for I/O, then it is said to be CPU bound. Speeding up the CPU will make the program run faster.

In either case, the key to speeding up the program might not be to speed up the hardware, but to optimize the program to reduce the amount of IO or CPU it needs, or to have it do I/O while it also does CPU intensive stuff.

Give another go at force removing the brewed version of git

brew uninstall --force git

Then cleanup any older versions and clear the brew cache

brew cleanup -s git

Remove any dead symlinks

brew cleanup --prune-prefix

Then try reinstalling git

brew install git

If that doesn't work, I'd remove that installation of Homebrew altogether and reinstall it. If you haven't placed anything else in your brew --prefix directory (/usr/local by default), you can simply rm -rf $(brew --prefix). Otherwise the Homebrew wiki recommends using a script at https://gist.github.com/mxcl/1173223#file-uninstall_homebrew-sh

Flexbox Not Centering Vertically in IE

Try wrapping whatever div you have flexboxed with flex-direction: column in a container that is also flexboxed.

I just tested this in IE11 and it works. An odd fix, but until Microsoft makes their internal bug fix external...it'll have to do!

HTML:

<div class="FlexContainerWrapper">
    <div class="FlexContainer">
        <div class="FlexItem">
            <p>I should be centered.</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
}

.FlexContainerWrapper {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
}

.FlexContainer {
  align-items: center;
  background: hsla(0,0%,0%,.1);
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  min-height: 100%;
  width: 600px;
}

.FlexItem {
  background: hsla(0,0%,0%,.1);
  box-sizing: border-box;
  max-width: 100%;
}

How can I run Android emulator for Intel x86 Atom without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 for API 21 and 19?

Is there any way that I can start android emulator for intel x86 atom Without hardware acceleration on windows 8

Not with the standard Android SDK emulator, as it requires Intel's HAXM, and HAXM wants virtualization extensions to be enabled.

How to change a css class style through Javascript?

There are two ways in which this can be accomplished using vanilla javascript. The first is className and the second is classList. className works in all browsers but can be unwieldy to work with when modifying an element's class attribute. classList is an easier way to modify an element's class(es).

To outright set an element's class attribute, className is the way to go, otherwise to modify an element's class(es), it's easier to use classList.

Initial Html

<div id="ID"></div>

Setting the class attribute

var div = document.getElementById('ID');
div.className = "foo bar car";

Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar car"></div>

Adding a class

div.classList.add("car");// Class already exists, nothing happens
div.classList.add("tar");

Note: There's no need to test if a class exists before adding it. If a class needs to be added, just add it. If it already exists, a duplicate won't be added.
Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar car tar"></div>

Removing a class

div.classList.remove("car");
div.classList.remove("tar");
div.classList.remove("car");// No class of this name exists, nothing happens

Note: Just like add, if a class needs to be removed, remove it. If it's there, it'll be removed, otherwise nothing will happen.
Result:

<div id="ID" class="foo bar"></div>

Checking if a class attribute contains a specific class

if (div.classList.contains("foo")) {
  // Do stuff
}

Toggling a class

var classWasAdded = div.classList.toggle("bar"); // "bar" gets removed
// classWasAdded is false since "bar" was removed

classWasAdded = div.classList.toggle("bar"); // "bar" gets added
// classWasAdded is true since "bar" was added

.toggle has a second boolean parameter that, in my opinion, is redundant and isn't worth going over.

For more information on classList, check out MDN. It also covers browser compatibility if that's a concern, which can be addressed by using Modernizr for detection and a polyfill if needed.

Can't use method return value in write context

The issue is this, you want to know if the error is not empty.

public function getError() {
    return $this->error;
}

Adding a method isErrorSet() will solve the problem.

public function isErrorSet() {
    if (isset($this->error) && !empty($this->error)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Now this will work fine with this code with no notice.

if (!($x->isErrorSet())) {
    echo $x->getError();
}

HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure

After spending an entire day fighting with myself on deciding to host my asp.net core application on IIS with InProcess hosting, i am finally proud and relieved to have this solved. Hours of repeatedly going through the same forums, blogs and SO questions which tried their best to solve the problem, i was still stuck after following all the above mentioned approaches. Now here i will describe my experience of solving it.

Step 1: Create a website in IIS

Step 2: Make sure the AppPool for the website has .Net CLR version set to "No Managed Code" and "Enable 32-bit Applications" property in AppPool -> Advanced Settings is set to false

Step 3: Make sure your project is referencing .Net core 2.2

Step 4: Add the following line in your startup.cs file inside ConfigureServices method

services.Configure<IISServerOptions>(options =>
{
     options.AutomaticAuthentication = false;
});

Step 6: Add the following Nuget packages

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App v2.2.5 or greater

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IIS v2.2.2 or greater

Step 7: Add following line to your .csproj file

<AspNetCoreHostingModel>InProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>

Step 8: Build and publish your code (preferably x64 bitness)

Step 9: Make sure you added your website hostname in etc/hosts file

Step 10: Restart World Wide Web Publishing Service

Now test your asp.net core application and it should be hosted using InProcess hosting In order to verify whether your app is hosted using InProcess mode, check the response headers and it should contain the following line

Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0 (IIS version could be any depeding on your system)

Update: Download and Install ASP.Net Core Hosting Bundle which is required for it to work

How to select first child with jQuery?

Use the :first-child selector.

In your example...

$('div.alldivs div:first-child')

This will also match any first child descendents that meet the selection criteria.

While :first matches only a single element, the :first-child selector can match more than one: one for each parent. This is equivalent to :nth-child(1).

For the first matched only, use the :first selector.

Alternatively, Felix Kling suggested using the direct descendent selector to get only direct children...

$('div.alldivs > div:first-child')

Git command to checkout any branch and overwrite local changes

Couple of points:

I believe git stash + git stash drop could be replaced with git reset --hard
... or, even shorter, add -f to checkout command:
```
git checkout -f -b $branch
```
That will discard any local changes, just as if git reset --hard was used prior to checkout.

As for the main question: instead of pulling in the last step, you could just merge the appropriate branch from the remote into your local branch: git merge $branch origin/$branch, I believe it does not hit the remote. If that is the case, it removes the need for credensials and hence, addresses your biggest concern.

Entity Framework throws exception - Invalid object name 'dbo.BaseCs'

My fix was as simple as making sure the correct connection string was in ALL appsettings.json files, not just the default one.

Convert char array to single int?

If you are using C++11, you should probably use stoi because it can distinguish between an error and parsing "0".

try {
    int number = std::stoi("1234abc");
} catch (std::exception const &e) {
    // This could not be parsed into a number so an exception is thrown.
    // atoi() would return 0, which is less helpful if it could be a valid value.
}

It should be noted that "1234abc" is implicitly converted from a char[] to a std:string before being passed to stoi().

How to convert between bytes and strings in Python 3?

This is a Python 101 type question,

It's a simple question but one where the answer is not so simple.

In python3, a "bytes" object represents a sequence of bytes, a "string" object represents a sequence of unicode code points.

To convert between from "bytes" to "string" and from "string" back to "bytes" you use the bytes.decode and string.encode functions. These functions take two parameters, an encoding and an error handling policy.

Sadly there are an awful lot of cases where sequences of bytes are used to represent text, but it is not necessarily well-defined what encoding is being used. Take for example filenames on unix-like systems, as far as the kernel is concerned they are a sequence of bytes with a handful of special values, on most modern distros most filenames will be UTF-8 but there is no gaurantee that all filenames will be.

If you want to write robust software then you need to think carefully about those parameters. You need to think carefully about what encoding the bytes are supposed to be in and how you will handle the case where they turn out not to be a valid sequence of bytes for the encoding you thought they should be in. Python defaults to UTF-8 and erroring out on any byte sequence that is not valid UTF-8.

print(bytesThing)

Python uses "repr" as a fallback conversion to string. repr attempts to produce python code that will recreate the object. In the case of a bytes object this means among other things escaping bytes outside the printable ascii range.

JSON date to Java date?

That DateTime format is actually ISO 8601 DateTime. JSON does not specify any particular format for dates/times. If you Google a bit, you will find plenty of implementations to parse it in Java.

Here's one

If you are open to using something other than Java's built-in Date/Time/Calendar classes, I would also suggest Joda Time. They offer (among many things) a ISODateTimeFormat to parse these kinds of strings.

Datagrid binding in WPF

Without seeing said object list, I believe you should be binding to the DataGrid's ItemsSource property, not its DataContext.

<DataGrid x:Name="Imported" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemsSource="{Binding Source=list}"  AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserResizeColumns="True">
    <DataGrid.Columns>                
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding ID}"/>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Date" Binding="{Binding Date}"/>
   </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

(This assumes that the element [UserControl, etc.] that contains the DataGrid has its DataContext bound to an object that contains the list collection. The DataGrid is derived from ItemsControl, which relies on its ItemsSource property to define the collection it binds its rows to. Hence, if list isn't a property of an object bound to your control's DataContext, you might need to set both DataContext={Binding list} and ItemsSource={Binding list} on the DataGrid...)

How do I properly escape quotes inside HTML attributes?

Another option is replacing double quotes with single quotes if you don't mind whatever it is. But I don't mention this one:

In my case I used this solution.

How to move screen without moving cursor in Vim?

I wrote a plugin which enables me to navigate the file without moving the cursor position. It's based on folding the lines between your position and your target position and then jumping over the fold, or abort it and don't move at all.

It's also easy to fast-switch between the cursor on the first line, the last line and cursor in the middle by just clicking j, k or l when you are in the mode of the plugin.

I guess it would be a good fit here.

How do I convert an integer to binary in JavaScript?

This is the solution . Its quite simple as a matter of fact

function binaries(num1){ 
        var str = num1.toString(2)
        return(console.log('The binary form of ' + num1 + ' is: ' + str))
     }
     binaries(3

)

        /*
         According to MDN, Number.prototype.toString() overrides 
         Object.prototype.toString() with the useful distinction that you can 
         pass in a single integer argument. This argument is an optional radix, 
         numbers 2 to 36 allowed.So in the example above, we’re passing in 2 to 
         get a string representation of the binary for the base 10 number 100, 
         i.e. 1100100.

How can I bind a background color in WPF/XAML?

I figured this out, it was just a naming conflict issue: if you use TheBackground instead of Background it works as posted in the first example. The property Background was interfering with the Window property background.

HTTP Error 503, the service is unavailable

Start by looking in Event Viewer, either under the System or the Application log.

How to printf "unsigned long" in C?

Out of all the combinations you tried, %ld and %lu are the only ones which are valid printf format specifiers at all. %lu (long unsigned decimal), %lx or %lX (long hex with lowercase or uppercase letters), and %lo (long octal) are the only valid format specifiers for a variable of type unsigned long (of course you can add field width, precision, etc modifiers between the % and the l).

How to verify a method is called two times with mockito verify()

Using the appropriate VerificationMode:

verify(mockObject, times(3)).someMethod("was called exactly three times");

Why can't I center with margin: 0 auto?

An inline-block covers the whole line (from left to right), so a margin left and/or right won't work here. What you need is a block, a block has borders on the left and the right so can be influenced by margins.

This is how it works for me:

#content {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}

How do I (or can I) SELECT DISTINCT on multiple columns?

If you put together the answers so far, clean up and improve, you would arrive at this superior query:

UPDATE sales
SET    status = 'ACTIVE'
WHERE  (saleprice, saledate) IN (
    SELECT saleprice, saledate
    FROM   sales
    GROUP  BY saleprice, saledate
    HAVING count(*) = 1 
    );

Which is much faster than either of them. Nukes the performance of the currently accepted answer by factor 10 - 15 (in my tests on PostgreSQL 8.4 and 9.1).

But this is still far from optimal. Use a NOT EXISTS (anti-)semi-join for even better performance. EXISTS is standard SQL, has been around forever (at least since PostgreSQL 7.2, long before this question was asked) and fits the presented requirements perfectly:

UPDATE sales s
SET    status = 'ACTIVE'
WHERE  NOT EXISTS (
   SELECT FROM sales s1                     -- SELECT list can be empty for EXISTS
   WHERE  s.saleprice = s1.saleprice
   AND    s.saledate  = s1.saledate
   AND    s.id <> s1.id                     -- except for row itself
   )
AND    s.status IS DISTINCT FROM 'ACTIVE';  -- avoid empty updates. see below

db<>fiddle here
Old SQL Fiddle

Unique key to identify row

If you don't have a primary or unique key for the table (id in the example), you can substitute with the system column ctid for the purpose of this query (but not for some other purposes):

   AND    s1.ctid <> s.ctid

_{Every table should have a primary key. Add one if you didn't have one, yet. I suggest a serial or an IDENTITY column in Postgres 10+.}

How is this faster?

The subquery in the EXISTS anti-semi-join can stop evaluating as soon as the first dupe is found (no point in looking further). For a base table with few duplicates this is only mildly more efficient. With lots of duplicates this becomes way more efficient.

Exclude empty updates

For rows that already have status = 'ACTIVE' this update would not change anything, but still insert a new row version at full cost (minor exceptions apply). Normally, you do not want this. Add another WHERE condition like demonstrated above to avoid this and make it even faster:

If status is defined NOT NULL, you can simplify to:

AND status <> 'ACTIVE';

The data type of the column must support the <> operator. Some types like json don't. See:

How to query a json column for empty objects?

Subtle difference in NULL handling

This query (unlike the currently accepted answer by Joel) does not treat NULL values as equal. The following two rows for (saleprice, saledate) would qualify as "distinct" (though looking identical to the human eye):

(123, NULL)
(123, NULL)

Also passes in a unique index and almost anywhere else, since NULL values do not compare equal according to the SQL standard. See:

Create unique constraint with null columns

OTOH, GROUP BY, DISTINCT or DISTINCT ON () treat NULL values as equal. Use an appropriate query style depending on what you want to achieve. You can still use this faster query with IS NOT DISTINCT FROM instead of = for any or all comparisons to make NULL compare equal. More:

How to delete duplicate rows without unique identifier

If all columns being compared are defined NOT NULL, there is no room for disagreement.

How to transform numpy.matrix or array to scipy sparse matrix

In Python, the Scipy library can be used to convert the 2-D NumPy matrix into a Sparse matrix. SciPy 2-D sparse matrix package for numeric data is scipy.sparse

The scipy.sparse package provides different Classes to create the following types of Sparse matrices from the 2-dimensional matrix:

Block Sparse Row matrix
A sparse matrix in COOrdinate format.
Compressed Sparse Column matrix
Compressed Sparse Row matrix
Sparse matrix with DIAgonal storage
Dictionary Of Keys based sparse matrix.
Row-based list of lists sparse matrix
This class provides a base class for all sparse matrices.

CSR (Compressed Sparse Row) or CSC (Compressed Sparse Column) formats support efficient access and matrix operations.

Example code to Convert Numpy matrix into Compressed Sparse Column(CSC) matrix & Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) matrix using Scipy classes:

import sys                 # Return the size of an object in bytes
import numpy as np         # To create 2 dimentional matrix
from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix, csc_matrix 
# csr_matrix: used to create compressed sparse row matrix from Matrix
# csc_matrix: used to create compressed sparse column matrix from Matrix

create a 2-D Numpy matrix

A = np.array([[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],\
              [0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1],\
              [0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0]])
print("Dense matrix representation: \n", A)
print("Memory utilised (bytes): ", sys.getsizeof(A))
print("Type of the object", type(A))

Print the matrix & other details:

Dense matrix representation: 
 [[1 0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 0 2 0 0 1]
 [0 0 0 2 0 0]]
Memory utilised (bytes):  184
Type of the object <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

Converting Matrix A to the Compressed sparse row matrix representation using csr_matrix Class:

S = csr_matrix(A)
print("Sparse 'row' matrix: \n",S)
print("Memory utilised (bytes): ", sys.getsizeof(S))
print("Type of the object", type(S))

The output of print statements:

Sparse 'row' matrix:
(0, 0) 1
(1, 2) 2
(1, 5) 1
(2, 3) 2
Memory utilised (bytes): 56
Type of the object: <class 'scipy.sparse.csr.csc_matrix'>

Converting Matrix A to Compressed Sparse Column matrix representation using csc_matrix Class:

S = csc_matrix(A)
print("Sparse 'column' matrix: \n",S)
print("Memory utilised (bytes): ", sys.getsizeof(S))
print("Type of the object", type(S))

The output of print statements:

Sparse 'column' matrix:
(0, 0) 1
(1, 2) 2
(2, 3) 2
(1, 5) 1
Memory utilised (bytes): 56
Type of the object: <class 'scipy.sparse.csc.csc_matrix'>

As it can be seen the size of the compressed matrices is 56 bytes and the original matrix size is 184 bytes.

docker container ssl certificates

I am trying to do something similar to this. As commented above, I think you would want to build a new image with a custom Dockerfile (using the image you pulled as a base image), ADD your certificate, then RUN update-ca-certificates. This way you will have a consistent state each time you start a container from this new image.

# Dockerfile
FROM some-base-image:0.1
ADD you_certificate.crt:/container/cert/path
RUN update-ca-certificates

Let's say a docker build against that Dockerfile produced IMAGE_ID. On the next docker run -d [any other options] IMAGE_ID, the container started by that command will have your certificate info. Simple and reproducible.

Scripting Language vs Programming Language

I think that what you are stating as the "difference" is actually a consequence of the real difference.

The actual difference is the target of the code written. Who is going to run this code.

A scripting language is used to write code that is going to target a software system. It's going to automate operations on that software system. The script is going to be a sequence of instructions to the target software system.

A programming language targets the computing system, which can be a real or virtual machine. The instructions are executed by the machine.

Of course, a real machine understands only binary code so you need to compile the code of a programming language. But this is a consequence of targeting a machine instead of a program.

In the other hand, the target software system of an script may compile the code or interpret it. Is up to the software system.

If we say that the real difference is whether it is compiled or not, then we have a problem because when Javascript runs in V8 is compiled and when it runs in Rhino is not.

It gets more confusing since scripting languages have evolved to become very powerful. So they are not limited to create small scripts to automate operations on another software system, you can create any rich applications with them.

Python code targets an interpreter so we can say that it "scripts" operations on that interpreter. But when you write Python code you don't see it as scripting an interpreter, you see it as creating an application. The interpreter is just there to code at a higher level among other things. So for me Python is more a programming language than an scripting language.

Datagridview: How to set a cell in editing mode?

Setting the CurrentCell and then calling BeginEdit(true) works well for me.

The following code shows an eventHandler for the KeyDown event that sets a cell to be editable.

My example only implements one of the required key press overrides but in theory the others should work the same. (and I'm always setting the [0][0] cell to be editable but any other cell should work)

    private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab && dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 1)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
            DataGridViewCell cell = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0];
            dataGridView1.CurrentCell = cell;
            dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);               
        }
    }

If you haven't found it previously, the DataGridView FAQ is a great resource, written by the program manager for the DataGridView control, which covers most of what you could want to do with the control.

Windows batch: echo without new line

As an addendum to @xmechanix's answer, I noticed through writing the contents to a file:

echo | set /p dummyName=Hello World > somefile.txt

That this will add an extra space at the end of the printed string, which can be inconvenient, specially since we're trying to avoid adding a new line (another whitespace character) to the end of the string.

Fortunately, quoting the string to be printed, i.e. using:

echo | set /p dummyName="Hello World" > somefile.txt

Will print the string without any newline or space character at the end.

Error: select command denied to user '<userid>'@'<ip-address>' for table '<table-name>'

database user does not have the permission to do select query.

you can grant the permission to the user if you have root access to mysql

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/grant.html

Your second query is on different database on different table.

 String newSQL = "Select `Strike`,`LongShort`,`Current`,`TPLevel`,`SLLevel` from `json`.`tbl_Position` where `TradeID` = '" + i + "'";

And the user you are connecting with does not have permission to access data from this database or this particular table.

Java: How can I compile an entire directory structure of code ?

Windows solution: Assuming all files contained in sub-directory 'src', and you want to compile them to 'bin'.

If src contains a .java file immediately below it then this is faster

javac src\\*.java -d bin

How to cast an Object to an int

If you're sure that this object is an Integer :

int i = (Integer) object;

Or, starting from Java 7, you can equivalently write:

int i = (int) object;

Beware, it can throw a ClassCastException if your object isn't an Integer and a NullPointerException if your object is null.

This way you assume that your Object is an Integer (the wrapped int) and you unbox it into an int.

int is a primitive so it can't be stored as an Object, the only way is to have an int considered/boxed as an Integer then stored as an Object.

If your object is a String, then you can use the Integer.valueOf() method to convert it into a simple int :

int i = Integer.valueOf((String) object);

It can throw a NumberFormatException if your object isn't really a String with an integer as content.

What are public, private and protected in object oriented programming?

All the three are access modifiers and keywords which are used in a class. Anything declared in public can be used by any object within the class or outside the class,variables in private can only be used by the objects within the class and could not be changed through direct access(as it can change through functions like friend function).Anything defined under protected section can be used by the class and their just derived class.

How do I make a transparent canvas in html5?

Iif you want a particular <canvas id="canvasID"> to be always transparent you just have to set

#canvasID{
    opacity:0.5;
}

Instead, if you want some particular elements inside the canvas area to be transparent, you have to set transparency when you draw, i.e.

context.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.5)";

Check if an element is present in a Bash array

You could do:

if [[ " ${arr[*]} " == *" d "* ]]; then
    echo "arr contains d"
fi

This will give false positives for example if you look for "a b" -- that substring is in the joined string but not as an array element. This dilemma will occur for whatever delimiter you choose.

The safest way is to loop over the array until you find the element:

array_contains () {
    local seeking=$1; shift
    local in=1
    for element; do
        if [[ $element == "$seeking" ]]; then
            in=0
            break
        fi
    done
    return $in
}

arr=(a b c "d e" f g)
array_contains "a b" "${arr[@]}" && echo yes || echo no    # no
array_contains "d e" "${arr[@]}" && echo yes || echo no    # yes

Here's a "cleaner" version where you just pass the array name, not all its elements

array_contains2 () { 
    local array="$1[@]"
    local seeking=$2
    local in=1
    for element in "${!array}"; do
        if [[ $element == "$seeking" ]]; then
            in=0
            break
        fi
    done
    return $in
}

array_contains2 arr "a b"  && echo yes || echo no    # no
array_contains2 arr "d e"  && echo yes || echo no    # yes

For associative arrays, there's a very tidy way to test if the array contains a given key: The -v operator

$ declare -A arr=( [foo]=bar [baz]=qux )
$ [[ -v arr[foo] ]] && echo yes || echo no
yes
$ [[ -v arr[bar] ]] && echo yes || echo no
no

How do I left align these Bootstrap form items?

Just my two cents. If you are using Bootstrap 3 then I would just add an extra style into your own site's stylesheet which controls the text-left style of the control-label.

If you were to add text-left to the label, by default there is another style which overrides this .form-horizontal .control-label. So if you add:

.form-horizontal .control-label.text-left{
    text-align: left;
}

Then the built in text-left style is applied to the label correctly.
