XPath query to get nth instance of an element

This seems to work:

/descendant::input[@id="search_query"][2]

I go this from "XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer's Reference, 4th Edition" by Michael Kay.

There is also a note in the "Abbreviated Syntax" section of the XML Path Language specification http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#path-abbrev that provided a clue.

How to clear cache of Eclipse Indigo

If you are asking about cache where eclipse stores your project and workspace information right click on your project(s) and choose refresh. Then go to project in the menu on top of the window and click "clean".

This typically does what you need.

If it does not try to remove project from the workspace (just press "delete" on the project and then say that you DO NOT want to remove the sources). Then open project again.

If this does not work too, do the same with the workspace. If this still does not work, perform fresh checkout of your project from source control and create new workspace.

Well, this should work.

HTML Image not displaying, while the src url works

It wont work since you use URL link with "file://". Instead you should match your directory to your HTML file, for example:

Lets say my file placed in:

C:/myuser/project/file.html

And my wanted image is in:

C:/myuser/project2/image.png

All I have to do is matching the directory this way:

<img src="../project2/image.png" />

What's the difference between JavaScript and JScript?

Just different names for what is really ECMAScript. John Resig has a good explanation.

Here's the full version breakdown:

  • IE 6-7 support JScript 5 (which is equivalent to ECMAScript 3, JavaScript 1.5)
  • IE 8 supports JScript 6 (which is equivalent to ECMAScript 3, JavaScript 1.5 - more bug fixes over JScript 5)
  • Firefox 1.0 supports JavaScript 1.5 (ECMAScript 3 equivalent)
  • Firefox 1.5 supports JavaScript 1.6 (1.5 + Array Extras + E4X + misc.)
  • Firefox 2.0 supports JavaScript 1.7 (1.6 + Generator + Iterators + let + misc.)
  • Firefox 3.0 supports JavaScript 1.8 (1.7 + Generator Expressions + Expression Closures + misc.)
  • The next version of Firefox will support JavaScript 1.9 (1.8 + To be determined)
  • Opera supports a language that is equivalent to ECMAScript 3 + Getters and Setters + misc.
  • Safari supports a language that is equivalent to ECMAScript 3 + Getters and Setters + misc.

My eclipse won't open, i download the bundle pack it keeps saying error log

Make sure you have the prerequisite, a JVM (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Install_a_JVM) installed.

This will be a JRE and JDK package.

There are a number of sources which includes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

BeautifulSoup getText from between <p>, not picking up subsequent paragraphs

You are getting close!

# Find all of the text between paragraph tags and strip out the html
page = soup.find('p').getText()

Using find (as you've noticed) stops after finding one result. You need find_all if you want all the paragraphs. If the pages are formatted consistently ( just looked over one), you could also use something like

soup.find('div',{'id':'ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_RichHtmlField1__ControlWrapper_RichHtmlField'})

to zero in on the body of the article.

Javascript: Extend a Function

The other methods are great but they don't preserve any prototype functions attached to init. To get around that you can do the following (inspired by the post from Nick Craver).

(function () {
    var old_prototype = init.prototype;
    var old_init = init;
    init = function () {
        old_init.apply(this, arguments);
        // Do something extra
    };
    init.prototype = old_prototype;
}) ();

How to show one layout on top of the other programmatically in my case?

FrameLayout is not the better way to do this:

Use RelativeLayout instead. You can position the elements anywhere you like. The element that comes after, has the higher z-index than the previous one (i.e. it comes over the previous one).

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_information"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a text."
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:background="#A000"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>
</RelativeLayout>

How can I get selector from jQuery object

Just add a layer over the $ function this way:

_x000D_
_x000D_
$ = (function(jQ) { _x000D_
 return (function() { _x000D_
  var fnc = jQ.apply(this,arguments);_x000D_
  fnc.selector = (arguments.length>0)?arguments[0]:null;_x000D_
  return fnc; _x000D_
 });_x000D_
})($);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Now you can do things like

$("a").selector
and will return "a" even on newer jQuery versions.

Excel column number from column name

You could skip all this and just put your data in a table. Then refer to the table and header and it will be completely dynamic. I know this is from 3 years ago but someone may still find this useful.

Example code:

Activesheet.Range("TableName[ColumnName]").Copy

You can also use :

activesheet.listobjects("TableName[ColumnName]").Copy

You can even use this reference system in worksheet formulas as well. Its very dynamic.

Hope this helps!

How to select top n rows from a datatable/dataview in ASP.NET

In framework 3.5, dt.Rows.Cast<System.Data.DataRow>().Take(n)

Otherwise the way you mentioned

sum two columns in R

tablename$column3=rowSums(cbind(tablename$column1,tablename$column2),na.rm=TRUE)

This can be used to ignore blank values in the excel sheet.
I have used for Euro stat dataset.

This example works in R:

crime_stat_data$All_theft <-rowSums(cbind(crime_stat_data$Theft,crime_stat_data$Theft_of_a_motorised_land_vehicle, crime_stat_data$Burglary, crime_stat_data$Burglary_of_private_residential_premises), na.rm=TRUE)  

React.js: Wrapping one component into another

        after
      </div>
    );
  }
});

Reading Xml with XmlReader in C#

My experience of XmlReader is that it's very easy to accidentally read too much. I know you've said you want to read it as quickly as possible, but have you tried using a DOM model instead? I've found that LINQ to XML makes XML work much much easier.

If your document is particularly huge, you can combine XmlReader and LINQ to XML by creating an XElement from an XmlReader for each of your "outer" elements in a streaming manner: this lets you do most of the conversion work in LINQ to XML, but still only need a small portion of the document in memory at any one time. Here's some sample code (adapted slightly from this blog post):

static IEnumerable<XElement> SimpleStreamAxis(string inputUrl,
                                              string elementName)
{
  using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(inputUrl))
  {
    reader.MoveToContent();
    while (reader.Read())
    {
      if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
      {
        if (reader.Name == elementName)
        {
          XElement el = XNode.ReadFrom(reader) as XElement;
          if (el != null)
          {
            yield return el;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I've used this to convert the StackOverflow user data (which is enormous) into another format before - it works very well.

EDIT from radarbob, reformatted by Jon - although it's not quite clear which "read too far" problem is being referred to...

This should simplify the nesting and take care of the "a read too far" problem.

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(inputUrl))
{
    reader.ReadStartElement("theRootElement");

    while (reader.Name == "TheNodeIWant")
    {
        XElement el = (XElement) XNode.ReadFrom(reader);
    }

    reader.ReadEndElement();
}

This takes care of "a read too far" problem because it implements the classic while loop pattern:

initial read;
(while "we're not at the end") {
    do stuff;
    read;
}

Stash just a single file

Just in case you actually mean 'discard changes' whenever you use 'git stash' (and don't really use git stash to stash it temporarily), in that case you can use

git checkout -- <file>

Note that git stash is just a quicker and simple alternative to branching and doing stuff.

Plot a legend outside of the plotting area in base graphics?

Maybe what you need is par(xpd=TRUE) to enable things to be drawn outside the plot region. So if you do the main plot with bty='L' you'll have some space on the right for a legend. Normally this would get clipped to the plot region, but do par(xpd=TRUE) and with a bit of adjustment you can get a legend as far right as it can go:

 set.seed(1) # just to get the same random numbers
 par(xpd=FALSE) # this is usually the default

 plot(1:3, rnorm(3), pch = 1, lty = 1, type = "o", ylim=c(-2,2), bty='L')
 # this legend gets clipped:
 legend(2.8,0,c("group A", "group B"), pch = c(1,2), lty = c(1,2))

 # so turn off clipping:
 par(xpd=TRUE)
 legend(2.8,-1,c("group A", "group B"), pch = c(1,2), lty = c(1,2))

Get number of digits with JavaScript

you can use the Math.abs function to turn negative numbers to positive and keep positives as it is. then you can convert the number to string and provide length. look at this function:

const digitCount = num => Math.abs(num).toString().length;

i found this method the easiest and it works pretty good.

How to implement class constants?

TypeScript 2.0 has the readonly modifier:

class MyClass {
    readonly myReadOnlyProperty = 1;

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

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

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

Alternative Solution

An alternative is to use the static keyword with readonly:

class MyClass {
    static readonly myReadOnlyProperty = 1;

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

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

MyClass.myReadOnlyProperty = 5; // error, readonly

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

If Cell Starts with Text String... Formula

As of Excel 2019 you could do this. The "Error" at the end is the default.

SWITCH(LEFT(A1,1), "A", "Pick Up", "B", "Collect", "C", "Prepaid", "Error")

Fastest way to check a string is alphanumeric in Java

I've written the tests that compare using regular expressions (as per other answers) against not using regular expressions. Tests done on a quad core OSX10.8 machine running Java 1.6

Interestingly using regular expressions turns out to be about 5-10 times slower than manually iterating over a string. Furthermore the isAlphanumeric2() function is marginally faster than isAlphanumeric(). One supports the case where extended Unicode numbers are allowed, and the other is for when only standard ASCII numbers are allowed.

public class QuickTest extends TestCase {

    private final int reps = 1000000;

    public void testRegexp() {
        for(int i = 0; i < reps; i++)
            ("ab4r3rgf"+i).matches("[a-zA-Z0-9]");
    }

public void testIsAlphanumeric() {
    for(int i = 0; i < reps; i++)
        isAlphanumeric("ab4r3rgf"+i);
}

public void testIsAlphanumeric2() {
    for(int i = 0; i < reps; i++)
        isAlphanumeric2("ab4r3rgf"+i);
}

    public boolean isAlphanumeric(String str) {
        for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++) {
            char c = str.charAt(i);
            if (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(c))
                return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

    public boolean isAlphanumeric2(String str) {
        for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++) {
            char c = str.charAt(i);
            if (c < 0x30 || (c >= 0x3a && c <= 0x40) || (c > 0x5a && c <= 0x60) || c > 0x7a)
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

Copy files on Windows Command Line with Progress

The Esentutl /y option allows copyng (single) file files with progress bar like this :

enter image description here

the command should look like :

esentutl /y "FILE.EXT" /d "DEST.EXT" /o

The command is available on every windows machine but the y option is presented in windows vista. As it works only with single files does not look very useful for a small ones. Other limitation is that the command cannot overwrite files. Here's a wrapper script that checks the destination and if needed could delete it (help can be seen by passing /h).

Simply expanding the plot panel fixes the bug and displays the chart: RStudio with the plot panel expanded

            var hT = $('#comment-box-section').offset().top,
                hH = $('#comment-box-section').outerHeight(),
                wH = $(window).height(),
                wS = $(this).scrollTop();

            if (wS > ((hT+hH-wH)-500)){
                console.log('comment box section arrived! eh');
                // After Stuff
                $(window).off('scroll');
                doStuff();
            }

        });

Note: By successful scroll I mean when user has scrolled to my element or in other words when my element is in view.

Turning off auto indent when pasting text into vim

I am a Python user who sometimes copy and paste into Vim. (I switched from Mac to Windows WSL) and this was one of the glitches that bothered me.

If you touch a script.py and then vi script.py, Vi will detect it is a Python script and tried to be helpful, autoindent, paste with extra indents, etc. This won't happen if you don't tell it is a Python script.

However, if that is already happening to you, the default autoindent could be a nightmare when you paste already fully indented code (see the tilted ladder shape below).

I tried three options and here are the results

set paste        # works perfect 
set noai         # still introduced extra whitespace
set noautoindent # still introduced extra whitespace

What is the email subject length limit?

after some test: If you send an email to an outlook client, and the subject is >77 chars, and it needs to use "=?ISO" inside the subject (in my case because of accents) then OutLook will "cut" the subject in the middle of it and mesh it all that comes after, including body text, attaches, etc... all a mesh!

I have several examples like this one:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Actas de la obra N=BA.20100154 (Expediente N=BA.20100182) "NUEVA RED FERROVIARIA.=

TRAMO=20BEASAIN=20OESTE(Pedido=20PC10/00123-125),=20BEASAIN".?=

To:

As you see, in the subject line it cutted on char 78 with a "=" followed by 2 or 3 line feeds, then continued with the rest of the subject baddly.

It was reported to me from several customers who all where using OutLook, other email clients deal with those subjects ok.

If you have no ISO on it, it doesn't hurt, but if you add it to your subject to be nice to RFC, then you get this surprise from OutLook. Bit if you don't add the ISOs, then iPhone email will not understand it(and attach files with names using such characters will not work on iPhones).

how to customize `show processlist` in mysql?

Newer versions of SQL support the process list in information_schema:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST

You can ORDER BY in any way you like.

The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table was added in MySQL 5.1.7. You can find out which version you're using with:

SELECT VERSION()

How to properly import a selfsigned certificate into Java keystore that is available to all Java applications by default?

Might want to try

keytool -import -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore <full path to cacerts> -storepass changeit -alias $REMHOST -file $REMHOST.pem

i honestly have no idea where it puts your certificate if you just write cacerts just give it a full path

Difference between array_map, array_walk and array_filter

The idea of mapping an function to array of data comes from functional programming. You shouldn't think about array_map as a foreach loop that calls a function on each element of the array (even though that's how it's implemented). It should be thought of as applying the function to each element in the array independently.

In theory such things as function mapping can be done in parallel since the function being applied to the data should ONLY affect the data and NOT the global state. This is because an array_map could choose any order in which to apply the function to the items in (even though in PHP it doesn't).

array_walk on the other hand it the exact opposite approach to handling arrays of data. Instead of handling each item separately, it uses a state (&$userdata) and can edit the item in place (much like a foreach loop). Since each time an item has the $funcname applied to it, it could change the global state of the program and therefor requires a single correct way of processing the items.

Back in PHP land, array_map and array_walk are almost identical except array_walk gives you more control over the iteration of data and is normally used to "change" the data in-place vs returning a new "changed" array.

array_filter is really an application of array_walk (or array_reduce) and it more-or-less just provided for convenience.

Check folder size in Bash

To check the size of all of the directories within a directory, you can use:

du -h --max-depth=1

How to merge a list of lists with same type of items to a single list of items?

For List<List<List<x>>> and so on, use

list.SelectMany(x => x.SelectMany(y => y)).ToList();

This has been posted in a comment, but it does deserves a separate reply in my opinion.

How to install the Raspberry Pi cross compiler on my Linux host machine?

You may use clang as well. It used to be faster than GCC, and now it is quite a stable thing. It is much easier to build clang from sources (you can really drink cup of coffee during build process).

In short:

  1. Get clang binaries (sudo apt-get install clang).. or download and build (read instructions here)
  2. Mount your raspberry rootfs (it may be the real rootfs mounted via sshfs, or an image).
  3. Compile your code:

    path/to/clang --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --sysroot=/some/path/arm-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot my-happy-program.c -fuse-ld=lld
    

Optionally you may use legacy arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils. Then you may remove "-fuse-ld=lld" flag at the end.

PHP MySQL Google Chart JSON - Complete Example

Some might encounter this error (I got it while implementing PHP-MySQLi-JSON-Google Chart Example):

You called the draw() method with the wrong type of data rather than a DataTable or DataView.

The solution would be: replace jsapi and just use loader.js with:

google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart']}) and 
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback 

-- according to the release notes --> The version of Google Charts that remains available via the jsapi loader is no longer being updated consistently. Please use the new gstatic loader from now on.

What is the best way to exit a function (which has no return value) in python before the function ends (e.g. a check fails)?

  1. return None or return can be used to exit out of a function or program, both does the same thing
  2. quit() function can be used, although use of this function is discouraged for making real world applications and should be used only in interpreter.
    import site
    
    def func():
        print("Hi")
        quit()
        print("Bye")
  1. exit() function can be used, similar to quit() but the use is discouraged for making real world applications.
import site
    
    def func():
        print("Hi")
        exit()
        print("Bye")
  1. sys.exit([arg]) function can be used and need to import sys module for that, this function can be used for real world applications unlike the other two functions.
import sys 
  height = 150
  
if height < 165: # in cm 
      
    # exits the program 
    sys.exit("Height less than 165")     
else: 
    print("You ride the rollercoaster.") 
  1. os._exit(n) function can be used to exit from a process, and need to import os module for that.

Dependency injection with Jersey 2.0

You need to define an AbstractBinder and register it in your JAX-RS application. The binder specifies how the dependency injection should create your classes.

public class MyApplicationBinder extends AbstractBinder {
    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        bind(MyService.class).to(MyService.class);
    }
}

When @Inject is detected on a parameter or field of type MyService.class it is instantiated using the class MyService. To use this binder, it need to be registered with the JAX-RS application. In your web.xml, define a JAX-RS application like this:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>MyApplication</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
    <param-value>com.mypackage.MyApplication</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>MyApplication</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Implement the MyApplication class (specified above in the init-param).

public class MyApplication extends ResourceConfig {
    public MyApplication() {
        register(new MyApplicationBinder());
        packages(true, "com.mypackage.rest");
    }
}

The binder specifying dependency injection is registered in the constructor of the class, and we also tell the application where to find the REST resources (in your case, MyResource) using the packages() method call.

Excel formula to reference 'CELL TO THE LEFT'

I think this is the easiest answer.

Use a "Name" to reference the offset.

Say you want to sum a column (Column A) all the way to, but not including, the cell holding the summation (say Cell A100); do this:

(I assume you are using A1 referencing when creating the Name; R1C1 can subsequently be switched to)

  1. Click anywhere in the sheet not on the top row - say Cell D9
  2. Define a Named Range called, say "OneCellAbove", but overwrite the 'RefersTo' box with "=D8" (no quotes)
  3. Now, in Cell A100 you can use the formula
    =SUM(A1:OneCellAbove)

Ruby combining an array into one string

Use the Array#join method (the argument to join is what to insert between the strings - in this case a space):

@arr.join(" ")

Filtering by Multiple Specific Model Properties in AngularJS (in OR relationship)

I might be very late but this is what I ended up doing. I made a very general filter.

angular.module('app.filters').filter('fieldFilter', function() {
        return function(input, clause, fields) {
            var out = [];
            if (clause && clause.query && clause.query.length > 0) {
                clause.query = String(clause.query).toLowerCase();
                angular.forEach(input, function(cp) {
                    for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
                        var haystack = String(cp[fields[i]]).toLowerCase();
                        if (haystack.indexOf(clause.query) > -1) {
                            out.push(cp);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                })
            } else {
                angular.forEach(input, function(cp) {
                    out.push(cp);
                })
            }
            return out;
        }

    })

Then use it like this

<tr ng-repeat-start="dvs in devices |  fieldFilter:search:['name','device_id']"></tr>

Your search box be like

<input ng-model="search.query" class="form-control material-text-input" type="text">

where name and device_id are properties in dvs

How to change the hosts file on android

That didn't really work in my case - i.e. in order to overwrite hosts file you have to follow it's directions, ie:

./emulator -avd myEmulatorName -partition-size 280

and then in other term window (pushing new hosts file /tmp/hosts):

./adb remount
./adb push /tmp/hosts /system/etc

Make new column in Panda dataframe by adding values from other columns

The simplest way would be to use DeepSpace answer. However, if you really want to use an anonymous function you can use apply:

df['C'] = df.apply(lambda row: row['A'] + row['B'], axis=1)

Troubleshooting misplaced .git directory (nothing to commit)

Here is another twist on it. My .gitignore file seemed to have been modified / corrupted so that a file I was ignoring

e.g.

/Project/Folder/StyleCop.cache

got changed to this (Note now 2 separate lines)

/Project/Folder
StyleCop.cache

so git was ignoring any files I added to the project and below.

Very weird, no idea how the .gitignore file was changed, but took me a while to spot. Once fixed, the hundreds of css and js files I added went in.

What is the significance of load factor in HashMap?

Actually, from my calculations, the "perfect" load factor is closer to log 2 (~ 0.7). Although any load factor less than this will yield better performance. I think that .75 was probably pulled out of a hat.

Proof:

Chaining can be avoided and branch prediction exploited by predicting if a bucket is empty or not. A bucket is probably empty if the probability of it being empty exceeds .5.

Let s represent the size and n the number of keys added. Using the binomial theorem, the probability of a bucket being empty is:

P(0) = C(n, 0) * (1/s)^0 * (1 - 1/s)^(n - 0)

Thus, a bucket is probably empty if there are less than

log(2)/log(s/(s - 1)) keys

As s reaches infinity and if the number of keys added is such that P(0) = .5, then n/s approaches log(2) rapidly:

lim (log(2)/log(s/(s - 1)))/s as s -> infinity = log(2) ~ 0.693...

Sort columns of a dataframe by column name

An alternative option is to use str_sort() from library stringr, with the argument numeric = TRUE. This will correctly order column that include numbers not just alphabetically:

str_sort(c("V3", "V1", "V10"), numeric = TRUE)

# [1] V1 V3 V11

What is the difference between Trap and Interrupt?

Traps and interrupts are closely related. Traps are a type of exception, and exceptions are similar to interrupts.

Intel x86 defines two overlapping categories, vectored events (interrupts vs exceptions), and exception classes (faults vs traps vs aborts).

All of the quotes in this post are from the April 2016 version of the Intel Software Developer Manual. For the (definitive and complex) x86 perspective, I recommend reading the SDM's chapter on Interrupt and Exception handling.

Vectored Events

Vectored Events (interrupts and exceptions) cause the processor to jump into an interrupt handler after saving much of the processor's state (enough such that execution can continue from that point later).

Exceptions and interrupts have an ID, called a vector, that determines which interrupt handler the processor jumps to. Interrupt handlers are described within the Interrupt Descriptor Table.

Interrupts

Interrupts occur at random times during the execution of a program, in response to signals from hardware. System hardware uses interrupts to handle events external to the processor, such as requests to service peripheral devices. Software can also generate interrupts by executing the INT n instruction.

Exceptions

Exceptions occur when the processor detects an error condition while executing an instruction, such as division by zero. The processor detects a variety of error conditions including protection violations, page faults, and internal machine faults.

Exception Classifications

Exceptions are classified as faults, traps, or aborts depending on the way they are reported and whether the instruction that caused the exception can be restarted without loss of program or task continuity.

Summary: traps increment the instruction pointer, faults do not, and aborts 'explode'.

Trap

A trap is an exception that is reported immediately following the execution of the trapping instruction. Traps allow execution of a program or task to be continued without loss of program continuity. The return address for the trap handler points to the instruction to be executed after the trapping instruction.

Fault

A fault is an exception that can generally be corrected and that, once corrected, allows the program to be restarted with no loss of continuity. When a fault is reported, the processor restores the machine state to the state prior to the beginning of execution of the faulting instruction. The return address (saved contents of the CS and EIP registers) for the fault handler points to the faulting instruction, rather than to the instruction following the faulting instruction.

Example: A page fault is often recoverable. A piece of an application's address space may have been swapped out to disk from ram. The application will trigger a page fault when it tries to access memory that was swapped out. The kernel can pull that memory from disk to ram, and hand control back to the application. The application will continue where it left off (at the faulting instruction that was accessing swapped out memory), but this time the memory access should succeed without faulting.

An illegal-instruction fault handler that emulates floating-point or other missing instructions would have to manually increment the return address to get the trap-like behaviour it needs, after seeing if the faulting instruction was one it could handle. x86 #UD is a "fault", not a "trap". (The handler would need a pointer to the faulting instruction to figure out which instruction it was.)

Abort

An abort is an exception that does not always report the precise location of the instruction causing the exception and does not allow a restart of the program or task that caused the exception. Aborts are used to report severe errors, such as hardware errors and inconsistent or illegal values in system tables.

Edge Cases

Software invoked interrupts (triggered by the INT instruction) behave in a trap-like manner. The instruction completes before the processor saves its state and jumps to the interrupt handler.

What is TypeScript and why would I use it in place of JavaScript?

TypeScript's relation to JavaScript

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript - typescriptlang.org.

JavaScript is a programming language that is developed by EMCA's Technical Committee 39, which is a group of people composed of many different stakeholders. TC39 is a committee hosted by ECMA: an internal standards organization. JavaScript has many different implementations by many different vendors (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.). The goal of JavaScript is to be the lingua franca of the web.

TypeScript is a superset of the JavaScript language that has a single open-source compiler and is developed mainly by a single vendor: Microsoft. The goal of TypeScript is to help catch mistakes early through a type system and to make JavaScript development more efficient.

Essentially TypeScript achieves its goals in three ways:

  1. Support for modern JavaScript features - The JavaScript language (not the runtime) is standardized through the ECMAScript standards. Not all browsers and JavaScript runtimes support all features of all ECMAScript standards (see this overview). TypeScript allows for the use of many of the latest ECMAScript features and translates them to older ECMAScript targets of your choosing (see the list of compile targets under the --target compiler option). This means that you can safely use new features, like modules, lambda functions, classes, the spread operator and destructuring, while remaining backwards compatible with older browsers and JavaScript runtimes.

  2. Advanced type system - The type support is not part of the ECMAScript standard and will likely never be due to the interpreted nature instead of compiled nature of JavaScript. The type system of TypeScript is incredibly rich and includes: interfaces, enums, hybrid types, generics, union/intersection types, access modifiers and much more. The official website of TypeScript gives an overview of these features. Typescript's type system is on-par with most other typed languages and in some cases arguably more powerful.

  3. Developer tooling support - TypeScript's compiler can run as a background process to support both incremental compilation and IDE integration such that you can more easily navigate, identify problems, inspect possibilities and refactor your codebase.

TypeScript's relation to other JavaScript targeting languages

TypeScript has a unique philosophy compared to other languages that compile to JavaScript. JavaScript code is valid TypeScript code; TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. You can almost rename your .js files to .ts files and start using TypeScript (see "JavaScript interoperability" below). TypeScript files are compiled to readable JavaScript, so that migration back is possible and understanding the compiled TypeScript is not hard at all. TypeScript builds on the successes of JavaScript while improving on its weaknesses.

On the one hand, you have future proof tools that take modern ECMAScript standards and compile it down to older JavaScript versions with Babel being the most popular one. On the other hand, you have languages that may totally differ from JavaScript which target JavaScript, like CoffeeScript, Clojure, Dart, Elm, Haxe, Scala.js, and a whole host more (see this list). These languages, though they might be better than where JavaScript's future might ever lead, run a greater risk of not finding enough adoption for their futures to be guaranteed. You might also have more trouble finding experienced developers for some of these languages, though the ones you will find can often be more enthusiastic. Interop with JavaScript can also be a bit more involved, since they are farther removed from what JavaScript actually is.

TypeScript sits in between these two extremes, thus balancing the risk. TypeScript is not a risky choice by any standard. It takes very little effort to get used to if you are familiar with JavaScript, since it is not a completely different language, has excellent JavaScript interoperability support and it has seen a lot of adoption recently.

Optionally static typing and type inference

JavaScript is dynamically typed. This means JavaScript does not know what type a variable is until it is actually instantiated at run-time. This also means that it may be too late. TypeScript adds type support to JavaScript and catches type errors during compilation to JavaScript. Bugs that are caused by false assumptions of some variable being of a certain type can be completely eradicated if you play your cards right (how strict you type your code or if you type your code at all is up to you).

TypeScript makes typing a bit easier and a lot less explicit by the usage of type inference. For example: var x = "hello" in TypeScript is the same as var x : string = "hello". The type is simply inferred from its use. Even it you don't explicitly type the types, they are still there to save you from doing something which otherwise would result in a run-time error.

TypeScript is optionally typed by default. For example function divideByTwo(x) { return x / 2 } is a valid function in TypeScript which can be called with any kind of parameter, even though calling it with a string will obviously result in a runtime error. Just like you are used to in JavaScript. This works, because when no type was explicitly assigned and the type could not be inferred, like in the divideByTwo example, TypeScript will implicitly assign the type any. This means the divideByTwo function's type signature automatically becomes function divideByTwo(x : any) : any. There is a compiler flag to disallow this behavior: --noImplicitAny. Enabling this flag gives you a greater degree of safety, but also means you will have to do more typing.

Types have a cost associated with them. First of all, there is a learning curve, and second of all, of course, it will cost you a bit more time to set up a codebase using proper strict typing too. In my experience, these costs are totally worth it on any serious codebase you are sharing with others. A Large Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in Github suggests that "statically typed languages, in general, are less defect prone than the dynamic types, and that strong typing is better than weak typing in the same regard".

It is interesting to note that this very same paper finds that TypeScript is less error-prone than JavaScript:

For those with positive coefficients we can expect that the language is associated with, ceteris paribus, a greater number of defect fixes. These languages include C, C++, JavaScript, Objective-C, Php, and Python. The languages Clojure, Haskell, Ruby, Scala, and TypeScript, all have negative coefficients implying that these languages are less likely than the average to result in defect fixing commits.

Enhanced IDE support

The development experience with TypeScript is a great improvement over JavaScript. The IDE is informed in real-time by the TypeScript compiler on its rich type information. This gives a couple of major advantages. For example, with TypeScript, you can safely do refactorings like renames across your entire codebase. Through code completion, you can get inline help on whatever functions a library might offer. No more need to remember them or look them up in online references. Compilation errors are reported directly in the IDE with a red squiggly line while you are busy coding. All in all, this allows for a significant gain in productivity compared to working with JavaScript. One can spend more time coding and less time debugging.

There is a wide range of IDEs that have excellent support for TypeScript, like Visual Studio Code, WebStorm, Atom and Sublime.

Strict null checks

Runtime errors of the form cannot read property 'x' of undefined or undefined is not a function are very commonly caused by bugs in JavaScript code. Out of the box TypeScript already reduces the probability of these kinds of errors occurring, since one cannot use a variable that is not known to the TypeScript compiler (with the exception of properties of any typed variables). It is still possible though to mistakenly utilize a variable that is set to undefined. However, with the 2.0 version of TypeScript you can eliminate these kinds of errors all together through the usage of non-nullable types. This works as follows:

With strict null checks enabled (--strictNullChecks compiler flag) the TypeScript compiler will not allow undefined to be assigned to a variable unless you explicitly declare it to be of nullable type. For example, let x : number = undefined will result in a compile error. This fits perfectly with type theory since undefined is not a number. One can define x to be a sum type of number and undefined to correct this: let x : number | undefined = undefined.

Once a type is known to be nullable, meaning it is of a type that can also be of the value null or undefined, the TypeScript compiler can determine through control flow based type analysis whether or not your code can safely use a variable or not. In other words when you check a variable is undefined through for example an if statement the TypeScript compiler will infer that the type in that branch of your code's control flow is not anymore nullable and therefore can safely be used. Here is a simple example:

let x: number | undefined;
if (x !== undefined) x += 1; // this line will compile, because x is checked.
x += 1; // this line will fail compilation, because x might be undefined.

During the build, 2016 conference co-designer of TypeScript Anders Hejlsberg gave a detailed explanation and demonstration of this feature: video (from 44:30 to 56:30).

Compilation

To use TypeScript you need a build process to compile to JavaScript code. The build process generally takes only a couple of seconds depending of course on the size of your project. The TypeScript compiler supports incremental compilation (--watch compiler flag) so that all subsequent changes can be compiled at greater speed.

The TypeScript compiler can inline source map information in the generated .js files or create separate .map files. Source map information can be used by debugging utilities like the Chrome DevTools and other IDE's to relate the lines in the JavaScript to the ones that generated them in the TypeScript. This makes it possible for you to set breakpoints and inspect variables during runtime directly on your TypeScript code. Source map information works pretty well, it was around long before TypeScript, but debugging TypeScript is generally not as great as when using JavaScript directly. Take the this keyword for example. Due to the changed semantics of the this keyword around closures since ES2015, this may actually exists during runtime as a variable called _this (see this answer). This may confuse you during debugging but generally is not a problem if you know about it or inspect the JavaScript code. It should be noted that Babel suffers the exact same kind of issue.

There are a few other tricks the TypeScript compiler can do, like generating intercepting code based on decorators, generating module loading code for different module systems and parsing JSX. However, you will likely require a build tool besides the Typescript compiler. For example, if you want to compress your code you will have to add other tools to your build process to do so.

There are TypeScript compilation plugins available for Webpack, Gulp, Grunt and pretty much any other JavaScript build tool out there. The TypeScript documentation has a section on integrating with build tools covering them all. A linter is also available in case you would like even more build time checking. There are also a great number of seed projects out there that will get you started with TypeScript in combination with a bunch of other technologies like Angular 2, React, Ember, SystemJS, Webpack, Gulp, etc.

JavaScript interoperability

Since TypeScript is so closely related to JavaScript it has great interoperability capabilities, but some extra work is required to work with JavaScript libraries in TypeScript. TypeScript definitions are needed so that the TypeScript compiler understands that function calls like _.groupBy or angular.copy or $.fadeOut are not in fact illegal statements. The definitions for these functions are placed in .d.ts files.

The simplest form a definition can take is to allow an identifier to be used in any way. For example, when using Lodash, a single line definition file declare var _ : any will allow you to call any function you want on _, but then, of course, you are also still able to make mistakes: _.foobar() would be a legal TypeScript call, but is, of course, an illegal call at run-time. If you want proper type support and code completion your definition file needs to to be more exact (see lodash definitions for an example).

Npm modules that come pre-packaged with their own type definitions are automatically understood by the TypeScript compiler (see documentation). For pretty much any other semi-popular JavaScript library that does not include its own definitions somebody out there has already made type definitions available through another npm module. These modules are prefixed with "@types/" and come from a Github repository called DefinitelyTyped.

There is one caveat: the type definitions must match the version of the library you are using at run-time. If they do not, TypeScript might disallow you from calling a function or dereferencing a variable that exists or allow you to call a function or dereference a variable that does not exist, simply because the types do not match the run-time at compile-time. So make sure you load the right version of the type definitions for the right version of the library you are using.

To be honest, there is a slight hassle to this and it may be one of the reasons you do not choose TypeScript, but instead go for something like Babel that does not suffer from having to get type definitions at all. On the other hand, if you know what you are doing you can easily overcome any kind of issues caused by incorrect or missing definition files.

Converting from JavaScript to TypeScript

Any .js file can be renamed to a .ts file and ran through the TypeScript compiler to get syntactically the same JavaScript code as an output (if it was syntactically correct in the first place). Even when the TypeScript compiler gets compilation errors it will still produce a .js file. It can even accept .js files as input with the --allowJs flag. This allows you to start with TypeScript right away. Unfortunately, compilation errors are likely to occur in the beginning. One does need to remember that these are not show-stopping errors like you may be used to with other compilers.

The compilation errors one gets in the beginning when converting a JavaScript project to a TypeScript project are unavoidable by TypeScript's nature. TypeScript checks all code for validity and thus it needs to know about all functions and variables that are used. Thus type definitions need to be in place for all of them otherwise compilation errors are bound to occur. As mentioned in the chapter above, for pretty much any JavaScript framework there are .d.ts files that can easily be acquired with the installation of DefinitelyTyped packages. It might, however, be that you've used some obscure library for which no TypeScript definitions are available or that you've polyfilled some JavaScript primitives. In that case, you must supply type definitions for these bits for the compilation errors to disappear. Just create a .d.ts file and include it in the tsconfig.json's files array, so that it is always considered by the TypeScript compiler. In it declare those bits that TypeScript does not know about as type any. Once you've eliminated all errors you can gradually introduce typing to those parts according to your needs.

Some work on (re)configuring your build pipeline will also be needed to get TypeScript into the build pipeline. As mentioned in the chapter on compilation there are plenty of good resources out there and I encourage you to look for seed projects that use the combination of tools you want to be working with.

The biggest hurdle is the learning curve. I encourage you to play around with a small project at first. Look how it works, how it builds, which files it uses, how it is configured, how it functions in your IDE, how it is structured, which tools it uses, etc. Converting a large JavaScript codebase to TypeScript is doable when you know what you are doing. Read this blog for example on converting 600k lines to typescript in 72 hours). Just make sure you have a good grasp of the language before you make the jump.

Adoption

TypeScript is open-source (Apache 2 licensed, see GitHub) and backed by Microsoft. Anders Hejlsberg, the lead architect of C# is spearheading the project. It's a very active project; the TypeScript team has been releasing a lot of new features in the last few years and a lot of great ones are still planned to come (see the roadmap).

Some facts about adoption and popularity:

  • In the 2017 StackOverflow developer survey TypeScript was the most popular JavaScript transpiler (9th place overall) and won third place in the most loved programming language category.
  • In the 2018 state of js survey TypeScript was declared as one of the two big winners in the JavaScript flavors category (with ES6 being the other).
  • In the 2019 StackOverlow deverloper survey TypeScript rose to the 9th place of most popular languages amongst professional developers, overtaking both C and C++. It again took third place amongst most the most loved languages.

Compute a confidence interval from sample data

Here a shortened version of shasan's code, calculating the 95% confidence interval of the mean of array a:

import numpy as np, scipy.stats as st

st.t.interval(0.95, len(a)-1, loc=np.mean(a), scale=st.sem(a))

But using StatsModels' tconfint_mean is arguably even nicer:

import statsmodels.stats.api as sms

sms.DescrStatsW(a).tconfint_mean()

The underlying assumptions for both are that the sample (array a) was drawn independently from a normal distribution with unknown standard deviation (see MathWorld or Wikipedia).

For large sample size n, the sample mean is normally distributed, and one can calculate its confidence interval using st.norm.interval() (as suggested in Jaime's comment). But the above solutions are correct also for small n, where st.norm.interval() gives confidence intervals that are too narrow (i.e., "fake confidence"). See my answer to a similar question for more details (and one of Russ's comments here).

Here an example where the correct options give (essentially) identical confidence intervals:

In [9]: a = range(10,14)

In [10]: mean_confidence_interval(a)
Out[10]: (11.5, 9.4457397432391215, 13.554260256760879)

In [11]: st.t.interval(0.95, len(a)-1, loc=np.mean(a), scale=st.sem(a))
Out[11]: (9.4457397432391215, 13.554260256760879)

In [12]: sms.DescrStatsW(a).tconfint_mean()
Out[12]: (9.4457397432391197, 13.55426025676088)

And finally, the incorrect result using st.norm.interval():

In [13]: st.norm.interval(0.95, loc=np.mean(a), scale=st.sem(a))
Out[13]: (10.23484868811834, 12.76515131188166)

How to calculate time elapsed in bash script?

Here is a solution using only the date commands capabilities using "ago", and not using a second variable to store the finish time:

#!/bin/bash

# save the current time
start_time=$( date +%s.%N )

# tested program
sleep 1

# the current time after the program has finished
# minus the time when we started, in seconds.nanoseconds
elapsed_time=$( date +%s.%N --date="$start_time seconds ago" )

echo elapsed_time: $elapsed_time

this gives:

$ ./time_elapsed.sh 
elapsed_time: 1.002257120

How to compress image size?

You can use this awesome library to compress. Add dependency in app-level gradel:

    dependencies {
    implementation 'id.zelory:compressor:3.0.0'
}

And then just compress the actual image file like this:

val compressedImageFile = Compressor.compress(context, actualImageFile)

PHP Call to undefined function

Many times the problem comes because php does not support short open tags in php.ini file, i.e:

<?
   phpinfo();
?>

You must use:

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

How to parse JSON to receive a Date object in JavaScript?

I ran into an issue with external API providing dates in this format, some times even with UTC difference info like /Date(123232313131+1000)/. I was able to turn it js Date object with following code

var val = '/Date(123232311-1000)/';
var pattern = /^\/Date\([0-9]+((\+|\-)[0-9]+)?\)\/$/;
var date = null;

// Check that the value matches /Date(123232311-1000)/ format
if (pattern.test(val)) {
  var number = val.replace('/Date(', '',).replace(')/', '');
  if (number.indexOf('+') >= 0) {
    var split = number.split('+');
    number = parseInt(split[0]) + parseInt(split[1]);
  } else if (number.indexOf('-') >= 0) {
    var split = number.split('-');
    number = parseInt(split[0]) - parseInt(split[1]);
  } else {
    number = parseInt(number);
    date = new Date(number);
  }
}

Proxy with express.js

I found a shorter and very straightforward solution which works seamlessly, and with authentication as well, using express-http-proxy:

const url = require('url');
const proxy = require('express-http-proxy');

// New hostname+path as specified by question:
const apiProxy = proxy('other_domain.com:3000/BLABLA', {
    proxyReqPathResolver: req => url.parse(req.baseUrl).path
});

And then simply:

app.use('/api/*', apiProxy);

Note: as mentioned by @MaxPRafferty, use req.originalUrl in place of baseUrl to preserve the querystring:

    forwardPath: req => url.parse(req.baseUrl).path

Update: As mentioned by Andrew (thank you!), there's a ready-made solution using the same principle:

npm i --save http-proxy-middleware

And then:

const proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware')
var apiProxy = proxy('/api', {target: 'http://www.example.org/api'});
app.use(apiProxy)

Documentation: http-proxy-middleware on Github

Datatable to html Table

I have seen some solutions here worth noting, as Omer Eldan posted. but here follows. ASP C#

using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public static Table DataTableToHTMLTable(DataTable dt, bool includeHeaders)
{
    Table tbl = new Table();
    TableRow tr = null;
    TableCell cell = null;

    int rows = dt.Rows.Count;
    int cols = dt.Columns.Count;

    if (includeHeaders)
    {
        TableHeaderRow htr = new TableHeaderRow();
        TableHeaderCell hcell = null;
        for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++)
        {
            hcell = new TableHeaderCell();
            hcell.Text = dt.Columns[i].ColumnName.ToString();
            htr.Cells.Add(hcell);
        }
        tbl.Rows.Add(htr);
    }

    for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++)
    {
        tr = new TableRow();
        for (int k = 0; k < cols; k++)
        {
            cell = new TableCell();
            cell.Text = dt.Rows[j][k].ToString();
            tr.Cells.Add(cell);
        }
        tbl.Rows.Add(tr);
    }
    return tbl;
}

why this solution? Because you can easily just add this to a panel ie:

panel.Controls.Add(DataTableToHTMLTable(dtExample,true));

Second question , why do you have one column datatables and not just array's? Are you sure that these DataTables are uniform, because if the data is jagged then it's no use. If You really have to join these DataTables, there is many examples of Linq operations, or just use (beware though of same name columns as this will conflict in both linq operations and this solution if not handled):

public DataTable joinUniformTable(DataTable dt1, DataTable dt2)
{
    int dt2ColsCount = dt2.Columns.Count;
    int dt1lRowsCount = dt1.Rows.Count;

    DataColumn column;
    for (int i = 0; i < dt2ColsCount; i++)
    {
        column = new DataColumn();
        string colName = dt2.Columns[i].ColumnName;
        System.Type colType = dt2.Columns[i].DataType;
        column.ColumnName = colName;
        column.DataType = colType;
        dt1.Columns.Add(column);

        for (int j = 0; j < dt1lRowsCount; j++)
        {
            dt1.Rows[j][colName] = dt2.Rows[j][colName];
        }
    }
    return dt1;
}

and your solution would look something like:

panel.Controls.Add(DataTableToHTMLTable(joinUniformTable(joinUniformTable(LivDT,BathDT),BedDT),true));

interpret the rest, and have fun.

Reset Entity-Framework Migrations

Delete the Migrations Folder, Clean then Rebuild the project. This worked for me. Before Clean and Rebuild it was saying the Migration already exists since in its cached memory, it's not yet deleted.

Checking if a number is a prime number in Python

This is the most efficient way to see if a number is prime, if you only have a few query. If you ask a lot of numbers if they are prime try Sieve of Eratosthenes.

import math

def is_prime(n):
    if n == 2:
        return True
    if n % 2 == 0 or n <= 1:
        return False

    sqr = int(math.sqrt(n)) + 1

    for divisor in range(3, sqr, 2):
        if n % divisor == 0:
            return False
    return True

Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Home'

Other variation of this error is when you use resharper and you use some "auto" refactor options that include namespace name changing. This is what happen to me. To solve issue with this kind of scenario delete folderbin

Can I store images in MySQL

You can store images in MySQL as blobs. However, this is problematic for a couple of reasons:

  • The images can be harder to manipulate: you must first retrieve them from the database before bulk operations can be performed.
  • Except in very rare cases where the entire database is stored in RAM, MySQL databases are ultimately stored on disk. This means that your DB images are converted to blobs, inserted into a database, and then stored on disk; you can save a lot of overhead by simply storing them on disk.

Instead, consider updating your table to add an image_path field. For example:

ALTER TABLE `your_table`
ADD COLUMN `image_path` varchar(1024)

Then store your images on disk, and update the table with the image path. When you need to use the images, retrieve them from disk using the path specified.

An advantageous side-effect of this approach is that the images do not necessarily be stored on disk; you could just as easily store a URL instead of an image path, and retrieve images from any internet-connected location.

Does return stop a loop?

Yes, return stops execution and exits the function. return always** exits its function immediately, with no further execution if it's inside a for loop.

It is easily verified for yourself:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function returnMe() {
  for (var i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
    if (i === 1) return i;
  }
}

console.log(returnMe());
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to read strings from a Scanner in a Java console application?

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int employeeId, supervisorId;
String name;
System.out.println("Enter employee ID:");
employeeId = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine(); //This is needed to pick up the new line
System.out.println("Enter employee name:");
name = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter supervisor ID:");
supervisorId = scanner.nextInt();

Calling nextInt() was a problem as it didn't pick up the new line (when you hit enter). So, calling scanner.nextLine() after that does the work.

How to insert current_timestamp into Postgres via python

Date and time input is accepted in almost any reasonable format, including ISO 8601, SQL-compatible, traditional POSTGRES, and others. For some formats, ordering of month, day, and year in date input is ambiguous and there is support for specifying the expected ordering of these fields.

In other words: just write anything and it will work.

Or check this table with all the unambiguous formats.

What are the rules for calling the superclass constructor?

Everybody mentioned a constructor call through an initialization list, but nobody said that a parent class's constructor can be called explicitly from the derived member's constructor's body. See the question Calling a constructor of the base class from a subclass' constructor body, for example. The point is that if you use an explicit call to a parent class or super class constructor in the body of a derived class, this is actually just creating an instance of the parent class and it is not invoking the parent class constructor on the derived object. The only way to invoke a parent class or super class constructor on a derived class' object is through the initialization list and not in the derived class constructor body. So maybe it should not be called a "superclass constructor call". I put this answer here because somebody might get confused (as I did).

Need to install urllib2 for Python 3.5.1

WARNING: Security researches have found several poisoned packages on PyPI, including a package named urllib, which will 'phone home' when installed. If you used pip install urllib some time after June 2017, remove that package as soon as possible.

You can't, and you don't need to.

urllib2 is the name of the library included in Python 2. You can use the urllib.request library included with Python 3, instead. The urllib.request library works the same way urllib2 works in Python 2. Because it is already included you don't need to install it.

If you are following a tutorial that tells you to use urllib2 then you'll find you'll run into more issues. Your tutorial was written for Python 2, not Python 3. Find a different tutorial, or install Python 2.7 and continue your tutorial on that version. You'll find urllib2 comes with that version.

Alternatively, install the requests library for a higher-level and easier to use API. It'll work on both Python 2 and 3.

PostgreSQL: Why psql can't connect to server?

I was facing same problem and

sudo su - postgres
initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -D /var/lib/postgres/data
exit
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl status postgresql

This worked for me.

How to convert a string variable containing time to time_t type in c++?

This should work:

int hh, mm, ss;
struct tm when = {0};

sscanf_s(date, "%d:%d:%d", &hh, &mm, &ss);


when.tm_hour = hh;
when.tm_min = mm;
when.tm_sec = ss;

time_t converted;
converted = mktime(&when);

Modify as needed.

Range with step of type float

This is what I would use:

numbers = [float(x)/10 for x in range(10)]

rather than:

numbers = [x*0.1 for x in range(10)]
that would return :
[0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.30000000000000004, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6000000000000001, 0.7000000000000001, 0.8, 0.9]

hope it helps.

Jenkins: Is there any way to cleanup Jenkins workspace?

If you want to manually clean it up, for me with my version of jenkins (didn't appear to need an extra plugin installed, but who knows), there is a "workspace" link on the left column, click on your project, then on "workspace", then a "Wipe out current workspace" link appears beneath it on the left hand side column. screenshot

Function to return only alpha-numeric characters from string?

Warning: Note that English is not restricted to just A-Z.

Try this to remove everything except a-z, A-Z and 0-9:

$result = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/", "", $s);

If your definition of alphanumeric includes letters in foreign languages and obsolete scripts then you will need to use the Unicode character classes.

Try this to leave only A-Z:

$result = preg_replace("/[^A-Z]+/", "", $s);

The reason for the warning is that words like résumé contains the letter é that won't be matched by this. If you want to match a specific list of letters adjust the regular expression to include those letters. If you want to match all letters, use the appropriate character classes as mentioned in the comments.

How to select all instances of a variable and edit variable name in Sublime

As user1767754 said, the key here is to not make any selection initially.

Just place the cursor inside the variable name, don't double click to select it. For single character variables, place the cursor at the front or end of the variable to not make any selection initially.

Now keep hitting Cmd+D for next variable selection or Ctrl+Cmd+G for selecting all variables at once. It will magically select only the variables.

Web scraping with Python

Here is a simple web crawler, i used BeautifulSoup and we will search for all the links(anchors) who's class name is _3NFO0d. I used Flipkar.com, it is an online retailing store.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def crawl_flipkart():
    url = 'https://www.flipkart.com/'
    source_code = requests.get(url)
    plain_text = source_code.text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, "lxml")
    for link in soup.findAll('a', {'class': '_3NFO0d'}):
        href = link.get('href')
        print(href)

crawl_flipkart()

Saving Excel workbook to constant path with filename from two fields

try

Sub save()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAS Filename:="C:\-docs\cmat\Desktop\New folder\" & Range("C5").Text & chr(32) & Range("C8").Text &".xls", FileFormat:= _
  xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
 , CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

If you want to save the workbook with the macros use the below code

Sub save()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\" & Environ$("username") & _
    "\Desktop\" & Range("C5").Text & Chr(32) & Range("C8").Text & ".xlsm", FileFormat:= _
    xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, Password:=vbNullString, WriteResPassword:=vbNullString, _
    ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

if you want to save workbook with no macros and no pop-up use this

Sub save()
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\" & Environ$("username") & _
    "\Desktop\" & Range("C5").Text & Chr(32) & Range("C8").Text & ".xls", _
    FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

What does it mean to "call" a function in Python?

When you "call" a function you are basically just telling the program to execute that function. So if you had a function that added two numbers such as:

def add(a,b):
    return a + b

you would call the function like this:

add(3,5)

which would return 8. You can put any two numbers in the parentheses in this case. You can also call a function like this:

answer = add(4,7)

Which would set the variable answer equal to 11 in this case.

creating list of objects in Javascript

Going off of tbradley22's answer, but using .map instead:

var a = ["car", "bike", "scooter"];
a.map(function(entry) {
    var singleObj = {};
    singleObj['type'] = 'vehicle';
    singleObj['value'] = entry;
    return singleObj;
});

Convert datetime to valid JavaScript date

You can use moment.js for that, it will convert DateTime object into valid Javascript formated date:

   moment(DateOfBirth).format('DD-MMM-YYYY'); // put format as you want 

   Output: 28-Apr-1993

Hope it will help you :)

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'adSize' in package 'com.google.example' main.xml

You can also use http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto that would take care of it automatically. Use it like this:

xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

How do I make a comment in a Dockerfile?

As others have mentioned, comments are referenced with a # and are documented here. However, unlike some languages, the # must be at the beginning of the line. If they occur part way through the line, they are interpreted as an argument and may result in unexpected behavior.

# This is a comment

COPY test_dir target_dir # This is not a comment, it is an argument to COPY

RUN echo hello world # This is an argument to RUN but the shell may ignore it

It should also be noted that parser directives have recently been added to the Dockerfile which have the same syntax as a comment. They need to appear at the top of the file, before any other comments or commands. Originally, this directive was added for changing the escape character to support Windows:

# escape=`

FROM microsoft/nanoserver
COPY testfile.txt c:\
RUN dir c:\

The first line, while it appears to be a comment, is a parser directive to change the escape character to a backtick so that the COPY and RUN commands can use the backslash in the path. A parser directive is also used with BuildKit to change the frontend parser with a syntax line. See the experimental syntax for more details on how this is being used in practice.

With a multi-line command, the commented lines are ignored, but you need to comment out every line individually:

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM busybox:latest
RUN echo first command \
# && echo second command disabled \
 && echo third command

$ docker build .

How can I install a package with go get?

First, we need GOPATH

The $GOPATH is a folder (or set of folders) specified by its environment variable. We must notice that this is not the $GOROOT directory where Go is installed.

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

We used ~/gocode path in our computer to store the source of our application and its dependencies. The GOPATH directory will also store the binaries of their packages.

Then check Go env

You system must have $GOPATH and $GOROOT, below is my Env:

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/elpsstu/gocode"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/home/pravin/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/home/pravin/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

Now, you run download go package:

go get [-d] [-f] [-fix] [-t] [-u] [build flags] [packages]

Get downloads and installs the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies. For more details you can look here.

python: How do I know what type of exception occurred?

Hope this will help a little more

import sys
varExcepHandling, varExcepHandlingZer = 2, 0
try:
  print(varExcepHandling/varExcepHandlingZer)
except Exception as ex: 
  print(sys.exc_info())

'sys.exc_info()' will return a tuple, if you only want the exception class name use 'sys.exc_info()[0]'

Note:- if you want to see all the exception classes just write dir(__builtin__)

How to change text color and console color in code::blocks?

You should define the function textcolor before. Because textcolor is not a standard function in C.

void textcolor(unsigned short color) {
    HANDLE hcon = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hcon,color);
}

How to clear the entire array?

[your Array name] = Empty

Then the array will be without content and can be filled again.

How can we generate getters and setters in Visual Studio?

If you're using ReSharper, go into the ReSharper menu → CodeGenerate...

(Or hit Alt + Ins inside the surrounding class), and you'll get all the options for generating getters and/or setters you can think of :-)

Numeric for loop in Django templates

I'm just taking the popular answer a bit further and making it more robust. This lets you specify any start point, so 0 or 1 for example. It also uses python's range feature where the end is one less so it can be used directly with list lengths for example.

@register.filter(name='range')
def filter_range(start, end):
  return range(start, end)

Then in your template just include the above template tag file and use the following:

{% for c in 1|range:6 %}
{{ c }}
{% endfor %}

Now you can do 1-6 instead of just 0-6 or hard coding it. Adding a step would require a template tag, this should cover more uses cases so it's a step forward.

Can I use library that used android support with Androidx projects.

What are your favorite extension methods for C#? (codeplex.com/extensionoverflow)

Some extensions for working with lists:

/// <summary>
/// Wrap an object in a list
/// </summary>
public static IList<T> WrapInList<T>(this T item)
{
    List<T> result = new List<T>();
    result.Add(item);
    return result;
}

use eg:

myList = someObject.InList();

To make an IEnumerable that contains items from one or more sources, in order to make IEnumerable work more like lists. This may not be a good idea for high-performance code but useful for making tests:

public static IEnumerable<T> Append<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable, T newItem)
{
    foreach (T item in enumerable)
    {
        yield return item;
    }

    yield return newItem;
}

public static IEnumerable<T> Append<T>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable, params T[] newItems)
{
    foreach (T item in enumerable)
    {
        yield return item;
    }

    foreach (T newItem in newItems)
    {
        yield return newItem;
    }
}

use e.g.

someEnumeration = someEnumeration.Append(newItem);

Other variations of this are possible - e.g.

someEnumeration = someEnumeration.Append(otherEnumeration);

If you are cloning items, you may also want to clone lists of them:

public static IList<T> Clone<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source) where T: ICloneable
{
    List<T> result = new List<T>();

    foreach (T item in source)
    {
        result.Add((T)item.Clone());
    }

    return result;
}

When I am working with ObservableCollection<T>, I generally extend it with an AddRange method. Other answers here give implementations of this.

You may put this code in the Codeplex project if you want.

Retrieve the commit log for a specific line in a file?

If the position of the line (line number) stays the same through the history of the file, this will show you the contents of the line at each commit:

git log --follow --pretty=format:"%h" -- 'path/to/file' | while read -r hash; do echo $hash && git show $hash:'path/to/file' | head -n 544 | tail -n1; done

Change 544 to the line number and path/to/file to the file path.

jQuery: get data attribute

    console.log($varName);
});

VB6 IDE cannot load MSCOMCTL.OCX after update KB 2687323

I had similar trouble, have a program running for last 10 years written in VB6, now client wanted to make some major modifications, and all my machines which are now windows 10; failed to open the project, it was always that nasty mscomctl.ocx error. I had done lot of things but could not solve the problem. Then I thought the easy way around, I downloaded the latest mscomctl (mscomctl.ocx Then opened a new project, added all the components like mscomctl, activx controls etc, saved it and opened this newly created project file in Notepad, then copied the exact details and replaced in the original project.... and bingo! The old project opened up normally without any fuss! I hope this experience will help someone.

How to convert text column to datetime in SQL

This works:

SELECT STR_TO_DATE(dateColumn, '%c/%e/%Y %r') FROM tabbleName WHERE 1

If statement for strings in python?

proceed = "y", "Y"
if answer in proceed:

Also, you don't want

answer = str(input("Is the information correct? Enter Y for yes or N for no"))

You want

answer = raw_input("Is the information correct? Enter Y for yes or N for no")

input() evaluates whatever is entered as a Python expression, raw_input() returns a string.

Edit: That is only true on Python 2. On Python 3, input is fine, although str() wrapping is still redundant.

Get array of object's keys

If you decide to use Underscore.js you better do

var foo = { 'alpha' : 'puffin', 'beta' : 'beagle' };
var keys = [];
_.each( foo, function( val, key ) {
    keys.push(key);
});
console.log(keys);

How to connect to SQL Server database from JavaScript in the browser?

You shouldn´t use client javascript to access databases for several reasons (bad practice, security issues, etc) but if you really want to do this, here is an example:

var connection = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection") ;

var connectionstring="Data Source=<server>;Initial Catalog=<catalog>;User ID=<user>;Password=<password>;Provider=SQLOLEDB";

connection.Open(connectionstring);
var rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset");

rs.Open("SELECT * FROM table", connection);
rs.MoveFirst
while(!rs.eof)
{
   document.write(rs.fields(1));
   rs.movenext;
}

rs.close;
connection.close; 

A better way to connect to a sql server would be to use some server side language like PHP, Java, .NET, among others. Client javascript should be used only for the interfaces.

And there are rumors of an ancient legend about the existence of server javascript, but this is another story. ;)

How do I clone into a non-empty directory?

This worked for me:

git push -u origin master

Use Conditional formatting to turn a cell Red, yellow or green depending on 3 values in another sheet

  1. Highlight the range in question.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Styles Group, Click "Conditional Formatting".
  3. Click "Highlight cell rules"

For the first rule,

Click "greater than", then in the value option box, click on the cell criteria you want it to be less than, than use the format drop-down to select your color.

For the second,

Click "less than", then in the value option box, type "=.9*" and then click the cell criteria, then use the formatting just like step 1.

For the third,

Same as the second, except your formula is =".8*" rather than .9.

"RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" Why?

Browsers can't handle that many arguments. See this snippet for example:

alert.apply(window, new Array(1000000000));

This yields RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded which is the same as in your problem.

To solve that, do:

var arr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++){
    arr.push(Math.random());
}

Enable tcp\ip remote connections to sql server express already installed database with code or script(query)

I recommend to use SMO (Enable TCP/IP Network Protocol for SQL Server). However, it was not available in my case.

I rewrote the WMI commands from Krzysztof Kozielczyk to PowerShell.

# Enable TCP/IP

Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/SqlServer/ComputerManagement10 -ClassName ServerNetworkProtocol -Filter "InstanceName = 'SQLEXPRESS' and ProtocolName = 'Tcp'" |
Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetEnable

# Open the right ports in the firewall
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 1433

# Modify TCP/IP properties to enable an IP address

$properties = Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/SqlServer/ComputerManagement10 -ClassName ServerNetworkProtocolProperty -Filter "InstanceName='SQLEXPRESS' and ProtocolName = 'Tcp' and IPAddressName='IPAll'"
$properties | ? { $_.PropertyName -eq 'TcpPort' } | Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetStringValue -Arguments @{ StrValue = '1433' }
$properties | ? { $_.PropertyName -eq 'TcpPortDynamic' } | Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetStringValue -Arguments @{ StrValue = '' }

# Restart SQL Server

Maven dependencies are failing with a 501 error

Originally from https://stackoverflow.com/a/59796324/32453 though this might be useful:

Beware that your parent pom can (re) define repositories as well, and if it has overridden central and specified http for whatever reason, you'll need to fix that (so places to fix: ~/.m2/settings.xml AND also parent poms).

If you can't fix it in parent pom, you can override parent pom's repo's, like this, in your child pom (extracted from the 3.6.3 default super pom, seems they changed the name from repo1 as well):

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>central</id>

connecting to mysql server on another PC in LAN

Since you have mysql on your local computer, you do not need to bother with the IP address of the machine. Just use localhost:

mysql -u user -p

or

mysql -hlocalhost -u user -p

If you cannot login with this, you must find out what usernames (user@host) exist in the MySQL Server locallly. Here is what you do:

Step 01) Startup mysql so that no passwords are require no passwords and denies TCP/IP connections

service mysql restart --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking

Keep in mind that standard SQL for adding users, granting and revoking privs are disabled.

Step 02) Show users and hosts

select concat(''',user,'''@''',host,'''') userhost,password from mysql.user;

Step 03) Check your password to make sure it works

select user,host from mysql.user where password=password('YourMySQLPassword');

If your password produces no output for this query, you have a bad password.

If your password produces output for this query, look at the users and hosts. If your host value is '%', your should be able to connect from anywhere. If your host is 'localhost', you should be able to connect locally.

Make user you have 'root'@'localhost' defined.

Once you have done what is needed, just restart mysql normally

service mysql restart

If you are able to connect successfully on the macbook, run this query:

SELECT USER(),CURRENT_USER();

USER() reports how you attempted to authenticate in MySQL

CURRENT_USER() reports how you were allowed to authenticate in MySQL

Let us know what happens !!!

UPDATE 2012-02-13 20:47 EDT

Login to the remote server and repeat Step 1-3

See if any user allows remote access (i.e, host in mysql.user is '%'). If you do not, then add 'user'@'%' to mysql.user.

Internal and external fragmentation

Presumably from this site:

Internal Fragmentation Internal fragmentation occurs when the memory allocator leaves extra space empty inside of a block of memory that has been allocated for a client. This usually happens because the processor’s design stipulates that memory must be cut into blocks of certain sizes -- for example, blocks may be required to be evenly be divided by four, eight or 16 bytes. When this occurs, a client that needs 57 bytes of memory, for example, may be allocated a block that contains 60 bytes, or even 64. The extra bytes that the client doesn’t need go to waste, and over time these tiny chunks of unused memory can build up and create large quantities of memory that can’t be put to use by the allocator. Because all of these useless bytes are inside larger memory blocks, the fragmentation is considered internal.

External Fragmentation External fragmentation happens when the memory allocator leaves sections of unused memory blocks between portions of allocated memory. For example, if several memory blocks are allocated in a continuous line but one of the middle blocks in the line is freed (perhaps because the process that was using that block of memory stopped running), the free block is fragmented. The block is still available for use by the allocator later if there’s a need for memory that fits in that block, but the block is now unusable for larger memory needs. It cannot be lumped back in with the total free memory available to the system, as total memory must be contiguous for it to be useable for larger tasks. In this way, entire sections of free memory can end up isolated from the whole that are often too small for significant use, which creates an overall reduction of free memory that over time can lead to a lack of available memory for key tasks.

How to normalize a signal to zero mean and unit variance?

It seems like you are essentially looking into computing the z-score or standard score of your data, which is calculated through the formula: z = (x-mean(x))/std(x)

This should work:

%% Original data (Normal with mean 1 and standard deviation 2)
x = 1 + 2*randn(100,1);
mean(x)
var(x)
std(x)

%% Normalized data with mean 0 and variance 1
z = (x-mean(x))/std(x);
mean(z)
var(z)
std(z)

Html table with button on each row

Put a single listener on the table. When it gets a click from an input with a button that has a name of "edit" and value "edit", change its value to "modify". Get rid of the input's id (they aren't used for anything here), or make them all unique.

<script type="text/javascript">

function handleClick(evt) {
  var node = evt.target || evt.srcElement;
  if (node.name == 'edit') {
    node.value = "Modify";
  }
}

</script>

<table id="table1" border="1" onclick="handleClick(event);">
    <thead>
      <tr>
          <th>Select
    </thead>
    <tbody>
       <tr> 
           <td>
               <form name="f1" action="#" >
                <input id="edit1" type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit">
               </form>
       <tr> 
           <td>
               <form name="f2" action="#" >
                <input id="edit2" type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit">

                <input id="edit3" type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit">
               </form>

Using BETWEEN in CASE SQL statement

You do not specify why you think it is wrong but I can se two dangers:

BETWEEN can be implemented differently in different databases sometimes it is including the border values and sometimes excluding, resulting in that 1 and 31 of january would end up NOTHING. You should test how you database does this.

Also, if RATE_DATE contains hours also 2010-01-31 might be translated to 2010-01-31 00:00 which also would exclude any row with an hour other that 00:00.

How to detect DataGridView CheckBox event change?

It's all about editing the cell, the problem that is the cell didn't edited actually, so you need to save The changes of the cell or the row to get the event when you click the check box so you can use this function:

datagridview.CommitEdit(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.CurrentCellChange)

with this you can use it even with a different event.

Python error: "IndexError: string index out of range"

This error would happen when the number of guesses (so_far) is less than the length of the word. Did you miss an initialization for the variable so_far somewhere, that sets it to something like

so_far = " " * len(word)

?

Edit:

try something like

print "%d / %d" % (new, so_far)

before the line that throws the error, so you can see exactly what goes wrong. The only thing I can think of is that so_far is in a different scope, and you're not actually using the instance you think.

How to get column values in one comma separated value

MYSQL: To get column values as one comma separated value use GROUP_CONCAT( ) function as

GROUP_CONCAT(  `column_name` )

for example

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(  `column_name` ) 
FROM  `table_name` 
WHERE 1 
LIMIT 0 , 30

How to change sa password in SQL Server 2008 express?

This is what worked for me:

  • Close all Sql Server referencing apps.
  • Open Services in Control Panel.
  • Find the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" entry and select properties.
  • Stop the service (all Sql Server services).
  • Enter "-m" at the Start parameters" fields.
  • Start the service (click on Start button on General Tab).
  • Open a Command Prompt (right click, Run as administrator if needed).
  • Enter the command:

    osql -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS -E

    (or change localhost to whatever your PC is called).

  • At the prompt type the following commands:

  for (var i=0; i<a.length; i++) {  
    out.push(a[i][attr]); 
  } 
 return out.join(", ");

How can I get the line number which threw exception?

If you need the line number for more than just the formatted stack trace you get from Exception.StackTrace, you can use the StackTrace class:

try
{
    throw new Exception();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Get stack trace for the exception with source file information
    var st = new StackTrace(ex, true);
    // Get the top stack frame
    var frame = st.GetFrame(0);
    // Get the line number from the stack frame
    var line = frame.GetFileLineNumber();
}

Note that this will only work if there is a pdb file available for the assembly.

Comparing two input values in a form validation with AngularJS

I've modified method of Chandermani to be compatible with Angularjs 1.3 and upper. Migrated from $parsers to $asyncValidators.

module.directive('customValidator', [function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
        scope: { validateFunction: '&' },
        link: function (scope, elm, attr, ngModelCtrl) {
            ngModelCtrl.$asyncValidators[attr.customValidator] = function (modelValue, viewValue) {
                return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
                    var result = scope.validateFunction({ 'value': viewValue });
                    if (result || result === false) {
                        if (result.then) {
                            result.then(function (data) {           //For promise type result object
                                if (data)
                                    resolve();
                                else
                                    reject();
                            }, function (error) {
                                reject();
                            });
                        }
                        else {
                            if (result)
                                resolve();

                    reject();
                });
            }

Ansible - read inventory hosts and variables to group_vars/all file

Just in case if the problem is still there, You can refer to ansible inventory through ‘hostvars’, ‘group_names’, and ‘groups’ ansible variables.

Example:

To be able to get ip addresses of all servers within group "mygroup", use the below construction:

- debug: msg="{{ hostvars[item]['ansible_eth0']['ipv4']['address'] }}" 
  with_items:
     - "{{ groups['mygroup'] }}"

Is it possible to create static classes in PHP (like in C#)?

I generally prefer to write regular non static classes and use a factory class to instantiate single ( sudo static ) instances of the object.

This way constructor and destructor work as per normal, and I can create additional non static instances if I wish ( for example a second DB connection )

I use this all the time and is especially useful for creating custom DB store session handlers, as when the page terminates the destructor will push the session to the database.

Another advantage is you can ignore the order you call things as everything will be setup on demand.

class Factory {
    static function &getDB ($construct_params = null)
    {
        static $instance;
        if( ! is_object($instance) )
        {
            include_once("clsDB.php");
            $instance = new clsDB($construct_params);   // constructor will be called
        }
        return $instance;
    }
}

The DB class...

class clsDB {

    $regular_public_variables = "whatever";

    function __construct($construct_params) {...}
    function __destruct() {...}

    function getvar() { return $this->regular_public_variables; }
}

Anywhere you want to use it just call...

$static_instance = &Factory::getDB($somekickoff);

Then just treat all methods as non static ( because they are )

echo $static_instance->getvar();

        else{

        }
    }

How do I use setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR)?

I think you should use SO_LINGER options (with timeout 0). In this case, you connection will close immediately after closing your program; and next restart will be able to bind again.

example:

linger lin;
lin.l_onoff = 0;
lin.l_linger = 0;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, (const char *)&lin, sizeof(int));

see definition: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html

SO_LINGER
          Sets or gets the SO_LINGER option.  The argument is a linger
          structure.

              struct linger {
                  int l_onoff;    /* linger active */
                  int l_linger;   /* how many seconds to linger for */
              };

          When enabled, a close(2) or shutdown(2) will not return until
          all queued messages for the socket have been successfully sent
          or the linger timeout has been reached.  Otherwise, the call
          returns immediately and the closing is done in the background.
          When the socket is closed as part of exit(2), it always
          lingers in the background.

Remove json element

You can try to delete the JSON as follows:

var bleh = {first: '1', second: '2', third:'3'}

alert(bleh.first);

delete bleh.first;

alert(bleh.first);

Alternatively, you can also pass in the index to delete an attribute:

delete bleh[1];

However, to understand some of the repercussions of using deletes, have a look here

How to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-right corner of a UIView?

Swift 4 Swift 5 easy way in 1 line

Usage:

//MARK:- Corner Radius of only two side of UIViews
self.roundCorners(view: yourview, corners: [.bottomLeft, .topRight], radius: 12.0)

Function:

//MARK:- Corner Radius of only two side of UIViews
func roundCorners(view :UIView, corners: UIRectCorner, radius: CGFloat){
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: view.bounds, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
        let mask = CAShapeLayer()
        mask.path = path.cgPath
        view.layer.mask = mask
}

In Objective-C

Usage:

[self.verticalSeparatorView roundCorners:UIRectCornerTopLeft radius:10.0];

Function used in a Category (only one corner):

-(void)roundCorners: (UIRectCorner) corners radius:(CGFloat)radius {
        UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds byRoundingCorners:corners cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(radius, radius)];
        CAShapeLayer *mask = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
        mask.path = path.CGPath;
        self.layer.mask = mask;
    }

How to modify existing, unpushed commit messages?

Wow, so there are a lot of ways to do this.

Yet another way to do this is to delete the last commit, but keep its changes so that you won't lose your work. You can then do another commit with the corrected message. This would look something like this:

git reset --soft HEAD~1
git commit -m 'New and corrected commit message'

I always do this if I forget to add a file or do a change.

Remember to specify --soft instead of --hard, otherwise you lose that commit entirely.

What is difference between functional and imperative programming languages?

I think it's possible to express functional programming in an imperative fashion:

  • Using a lot of state check of objects and if... else/ switch statements
  • Some timeout/ wait mechanism to take care of asynchornousness

There are huge problems with such approach:

  • Rules/ procedures are repeated
  • Statefulness leaves chances for side-effects/ mistakes

Functional programming, treating functions/ methods like objects and embracing statelessness, was born to solve those problems I believe.

Example of usages: frontend applications like Android, iOS or web apps' logics incl. communication with backend.

Other challenges when simulating functional programming with imperative/ procedural code:

  • Race condition
  • Complex combination and sequence of events. For example, user tries to send money in a banking app. Step 1) Do all of the following in parallel, only proceed if all is good a) Check if user is still good (fraud, AML) b) check if user has enough balance c) Check if recipient is valid and good (fraud, AML) etc. Step 2) perform the transfer operation Step 3) Show update on user's balance and/ or some kind of tracking. With RxJava for example, the code is concise and sensible. Without it, I can imagine there'd be a lot of code, messy and error prone code

I also believe that at the end of the day, functional code will get translated into assembly or machine code which is imperative/ procedural by the compilers. However, unless you write assembly, as humans writing code with high level/ human-readable language, functional programming is the more appropriate way of expression for the listed scenarios

How do I output coloured text to a Linux terminal?

This is an old topic, but I wrote a class with nested subclasses and static members for colors defined by simple C macros.

I got the color function from this post Color Text In C Programming in dreamincode.net by user no2pencil.

I made it this way so to be able to use the static constants in std::cout stream like this:

cout << zkr::cc::fore::red << "This is red text. " 
     << zkr::cc::console << "And changing to console default colors, fg, bg."
     << endl;

The class and a test program source code can be downloaded here.

cc::console will reset to console default colors and attributes, cc::underline will underline the text, which works on putty which I've tested the test program.

Colors:

black
blue
red
magenta
green
cyan
yellow
white

lightblack
lightblue
lightred
lightmagenta
lightgreen
lightcyan
lightyellow
lightwhite

Which can be used with both fore and back static subclasses of the cc static class.

EDIT 2017

I'm just adding the class code here to be more practical.

The color code macros:

#define CC_CONSOLE_COLOR_DEFAULT "\033[0m"
#define CC_FORECOLOR(C) "\033[" #C "m"
#define CC_BACKCOLOR(C) "\033[" #C "m"
#define CC_ATTR(A) "\033[" #A "m"

and the main color function that defines a color or an attribute to the screen:

char *cc::color(int attr, int fg, int bg)
{
    static char command[13];

    /* Command is the control command to the terminal */
    sprintf(command, "%c[%d;%d;%dm", 0x1B, attr, fg + 30, bg + 40);
    return command;

What are all the escape characters?

Java Escape Sequences:

\u{0000-FFFF}  /* Unicode [Basic Multilingual Plane only, see below] hex value 
                  does not handle unicode values higher than 0xFFFF (65535),
                  the high surrogate has to be separate: \uD852\uDF62
                  Four hex characters only (no variable width) */
\b             /* \u0008: backspace (BS) */
\t             /* \u0009: horizontal tab (HT) */
\n             /* \u000a: linefeed (LF) */
\f             /* \u000c: form feed (FF) */
\r             /* \u000d: carriage return (CR) */
\"             /* \u0022: double quote (") */
\'             /* \u0027: single quote (') */
\\             /* \u005c: backslash (\) */
\{0-377}       /* \u0000 to \u00ff: from octal value 
                  1 to 3 octal digits (variable width) */

The Basic Multilingual Plane is the unicode values from 0x0000 - 0xFFFF (0 - 65535). Additional planes can only be specified in Java by multiple characters: the egyptian heiroglyph A054 (laying down dude) is U+1303F / &#77887; and would have to be broken into "\uD80C\uDC3F" (UTF-16) for Java strings. Some other languages support higher planes with "\U0001303F".

How can I get the "network" time, (from the "Automatic" setting called "Use network-provided values"), NOT the time on the phone?

Get the library from http://commons.apache.org/net/download_net.cgi

//NTP server list: http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
public static final String TIME_SERVER = "time-a.nist.gov";

public static long getCurrentNetworkTime() {
    NTPUDPClient timeClient = new NTPUDPClient();
    InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName(TIME_SERVER);
    TimeInfo timeInfo = timeClient.getTime(inetAddress);
    //long returnTime = timeInfo.getReturnTime();   //local device time
    long returnTime = timeInfo.getMessage().getTransmitTimeStamp().getTime();   //server time

    Date time = new Date(returnTime);
    Log.d(TAG, "Time from " + TIME_SERVER + ": " + time);

    return returnTime;
}

getReturnTime() is same as System.currentTimeMillis().

getReceiveTimeStamp() or getTransmitTimeStamp() method should be used.

You can see the difference after setting system time to 1 hour ago.

local time :
System.currentTimeMillis()
timeInfo.getReturnTime()
timeInfo.getMessage().getOriginateTimeStamp().getTime()

NTP server time :
timeInfo.getMessage().getReceiveTimeStamp().getTime()
timeInfo.getMessage().getTransmitTimeStamp().getTime()

What's the best way to check if a String represents an integer in Java?

This is shorter, but shorter isn't necessarily better (and it won't catch integer values which are out of range, as pointed out in danatel's comment):

input.matches("^-?\\d+$");

Personally, since the implementation is squirrelled away in a helper method and correctness trumps length, I would just go with something like what you have (minus catching the base Exception class rather than NumberFormatException).

How can I convert an image into Base64 string using JavaScript?

Well, if you are using Dojo Toolkit, it gives us a direct way to encode or decode into Base64.

Try this:

To encode an array of bytes using dojox.encoding.base64:

var str = dojox.encoding.base64.encode(myByteArray);

To decode a Base64-encoded string:

var bytes = dojox.encoding.base64.decode(str);

<embed> vs. <object>

Answer updated for 2020:

Both <object> and <embed> are included in the WHAT-WG HTML Living Standard (Sept 2020).


<object>

The object element can represent an external resource, which, depending on the type of the resource, will either be treated as an image, as a child browsing context, or as an external resource to be processed by a plugin.


<embed>

The embed element provides an integration point for an external (typically non-HTML) application or interactive content.


Are there advantages/disadvantages to using one tag vs. the other?

The opinion of Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) appears (albeit fairly subtly) to very marginally favour <object> over <embed> but overwhelmingly, MDN, wants to recommend that wherever you can, you avoid embedding external content entirely.

[...] you are unlikely to use these elements very much — Applets haven't been used for years, Flash is no longer very popular, due to a number of reasons (see The case against plugins, below), PDFs tend to be better linked to than embedded, and other content such as images and video have much better, easier elements to handle those. Plugins and these embedding methods are really a legacy technology, and we are mainly mentioning them in case you come across them in certain circumstances like intranets, or enterprise projects.

Once upon a time, plugins were indispensable on the Web. Remember the days when you had to install Adobe Flash Player just to watch a movie online? And then you constantly got annoying alerts about updating Flash Player and your Java Runtime Environment. Web technologies have since grown much more robust, and those days are over. For virtually all applications, it's time to stop delivering content that depends on plugins and start taking advantage of Web technologies instead.

Proxy with urllib2

You can set proxies using environment variables.

import os
os.environ['http_proxy'] = '127.0.0.1'
os.environ['https_proxy'] = '127.0.0.1'

urllib2 will add proxy handlers automatically this way. You need to set proxies for different protocols separately otherwise they will fail (in terms of not going through proxy), see below.

For example:

proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': '127.0.0.1'})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
# next line will fail (will not go through the proxy) (https)
urllib2.urlopen('https://www.google.com')

Instead

proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({
    'http': '127.0.0.1',
    'https': '127.0.0.1'
})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
# this way both http and https requests go through the proxy
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
urllib2.urlopen('https://www.google.com')

Numpy where function multiple conditions

I have worked out this simple example

import numpy as np

ar = np.array([3,4,5,14,2,4,3,7])

print [X for X in list(ar) if (X >= 3 and X <= 6)]

>>> 
[3, 4, 5, 4, 3]

What are the specific differences between .msi and setup.exe file?

MSI is basically an installer from Microsoft that is built into windows. It associates components with features and contains installation control information. It is not necessary that this file contains actual user required files i.e the application programs which user expects. MSI can contain another setup.exe inside it which the MSI wraps, which actually contains the user required files.

Hope this clears you doubt.

Batch program to to check if process exists

TASKLIST doesn't set an exit code that you could check in a batch file. One workaround to checking the exit code could be parsing its standard output (which you are presently redirecting to NUL). Apparently, if the process is found, TASKLIST will display its details, which include the image name too. Therefore, you could just use FIND or FINDSTR to check if the TASKLIST's output contains the name you have specified in the request. Both FIND and FINDSTR set a non-null exit code if the search was unsuccessful. So, this would work:

@echo off
tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" | find /i "notepad.exe" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 (taskkill /f /im "notepad.exe") else (
  specific commands to perform if the process was not found
)
exit

There's also an alternative that doesn't involve TASKLIST at all. Unlike TASKLIST, TASKKILL does set an exit code. In particular, if it couldn't terminate a process because it simply didn't exist, it would set the exit code of 128. You could check for that code to perform your specific actions that you might need to perform in case the specified process didn't exist:

@echo off
taskkill /f /im "notepad.exe" > nul
if errorlevel 128 (
  specific commands to perform if the process
  was not terminated because it was not found
)
exit

How to create a sub array from another array in Java?

The code is correct so I'm guessing that you are using an older JDK. The javadoc for that method says it has been there since 1.6. At the command line type:

I'm guessing that you are not running 1.6

Rotating a two-dimensional array in Python

Rotating Counter Clockwise ( standard column to row pivot ) As List and Dict

rows = [
  ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'],
  [1,2,3,4],
  [1,2,3],
  [1,2],
  [1],
]

pivot = []

for row in rows:
  for column, cell in enumerate(row):
    if len(pivot) == column: pivot.append([])
    pivot[column].append(cell)

print(rows)
print(pivot)
print(dict([(row[0], row[1:]) for row in pivot]))

Produces:

[['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2], [1]]
[['A', 1, 1, 1, 1], ['B', 2, 2, 2], ['C', 3, 3], ['D', 4]]
{'A': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'B': [2, 2, 2], 'C': [3, 3], 'D': [4]}

Extract elements of list at odd positions

For the odd positions, you probably want:

>>>> list_ = list(range(10))
>>>> print list_[1::2]
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
>>>>

How do I convert the date from one format to another date object in another format without using any deprecated classes?

Try this

This is the simplest way of changing one date format to another

public String changeDateFormatFromAnother(String date){
    @SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat") DateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
    @SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat") DateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy");
    String resultDate = "";
    try {
        resultDate=outputFormat.format(inputFormat.parse(date));
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return resultDate;
}

Hibernate problem - "Use of @OneToMany or @ManyToMany targeting an unmapped class"

 </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

How to get datas from List<Object> (Java)?

Do like this

List<Object[]> list = HQL.list(); // get your lsit here but in Object array

your query is : "SELECT houses.id, addresses.country, addresses.region,..."

for(Object[] obj : list){
String houseId = String.valueOf(obj[0]); // houseId is at first place in your query
String country = String.valueof(obj[1]); // country is at second and so on....
.......
}

this way you can get the mixed objects with ease, but you should know in advance at which place what value you are getting or you can just check by printing the values to know. sorry for the bad english I hope this help

How to create a zip file in Java

To write a ZIP file, you use a ZipOutputStream. For each entry that you want to place into the ZIP file, you create a ZipEntry object. You pass the file name to the ZipEntry constructor; it sets the other parameters such as file date and decompression method. You can override these settings if you like. Then, you call the putNextEntry method of the ZipOutputStream to begin writing a new file. Send the file data to the ZIP stream. When you are done, call closeEntry. Repeat for all the files you want to store. Here is a code skeleton:

FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("test.zip");
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(fout);
for all files
{
    ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(filename);
    zout.putNextEntry(ze);
    send data to zout;
    zout.closeEntry();
}
zout.close();

How do I make Git ignore file mode (chmod) changes?

This works for me:

find . -type f -exec chmod a-x {} \;

or reverse, depending on your operating system

find . -type f -exec chmod a+x {} \;

Adding integers to an int array

You cannot use the add method on an array in Java.

To add things to the array do it like this

public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] num = new int[args.length];
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
    int neki = Integer.parseInt(s);
    num[i] = neki;

}

If you really want to use an add() method, then consider using an ArrayList<Integer> instead. This has several advantages - for instance it isn't restricted to a maximum size set upon creation. You can keep adding elements indefinitely. However it isn't quite as fast as an array, so if you really want performance stick with the array. Also it requires you to use Integer object instead of primitive int types, which can cause problems.

ArrayList Example

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ArrayList<Integer> num = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    for (String s : args){
        Integer neki = new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s));
        num.add(s);
}

What's the difference between Thread start() and Runnable run()

If you directly call run() method, you are not using multi-threading feature since run() method is executed as part of caller thread.

If you call start() method on Thread, the Java Virtual Machine will call run() method and two threads will run concurrently - Current Thread (main() in your example) and Other Thread (Runnable r1 in your example).

Have a look at source code of start() method in Thread class

 /**
     * Causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine
     * calls the <code>run</code> method of this thread.
     * <p>
     * The result is that two threads are running concurrently: the
     * current thread (which returns from the call to the
     * <code>start</code> method) and the other thread (which executes its
     * <code>run</code> method).
     * <p>
     * It is never legal to start a thread more than once.
     * In particular, a thread may not be restarted once it has completed
     * execution.
     *
     * @exception  IllegalThreadStateException  if the thread was already
     *               started.
     * @see        #run()
     * @see        #stop()
     */
    public synchronized void start() {
        /**
         * This method is not invoked for the main method thread or "system"
         * group threads created/set up by the VM. Any new functionality added
         * to this method in the future may have to also be added to the VM.
         *
         * A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW".
         */
        if (threadStatus != 0)
            throw new IllegalThreadStateException();
        group.add(this);
        start0();
        if (stopBeforeStart) {
            stop0(throwableFromStop);
        }
    }

    private native void start0();

In above code, you can't see invocation to run() method.

private native void start0() is responsible for calling run() method. JVM executes this native method.

Servlet Mapping using web.xml

It allows servlets to have multiple servlet mappings:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/enroll</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/pay</url-pattern>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/bill</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

It allows filters to be mapped on the particular servlet:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>Filter1</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

Your proposal would support neither of them. Note that the web.xml is read and parsed only once during application's startup, not on every HTTP request as you seem to think.

Since Servlet 3.0, there's the @WebServlet annotation which minimizes this boilerplate:

@WebServlet("/enroll")
public class Servlet1 extends HttpServlet {

How do I add target="_blank" to a link within a specified div?

/* here are two different ways to do this */
//using jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#link_other a').attr('target', '_blank');
});

// not using jquery
window.onload = function(){
  var anchors = document.getElementById('link_other').getElementsByTagName('a');
  for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++){
    anchors[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank');
  }
}
// jquery is prettier. :-)

You could also add a title tag to notify the user that you are doing this, to warn them, because as has been pointed out, it's not what users expect:

$('#link_other a').attr('target', '_blank').attr('title','This link will open in a new window.');

Powershell Active Directory - Limiting my get-aduser search to a specific OU [and sub OUs]

If I understand you correctly, you need to use -SearchBase:

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=Accounts,OU=RootOU,DC=ChildDomain,DC=RootDomain,DC=com" -Filter *

Note that Get-ADUser defaults to using

 -SearchScope Subtree

so you don't need to specify it. It's this that gives you all sub-OUs (and sub-sub-OUs, etc.).

Sending Email in Android using JavaMail API without using the default/built-in app

100% working code with demo You can also send multiple emails using this answer.

Download Project HERE

Step 1: Download mail, activation, additional jar files and add in your project libs folder in android studio. I added a screenshot see below Download link

libs add

Login with gmail (using your from mail) and TURN ON toggle button LINK

Most of the people forget about this step i hope you will not.

Step 2 : After completing this process. Copy and past this classes into your project.

GMail.java

import android.util.Log;

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.AddressException;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class GMail {

    final String emailPort = "587";// gmail's smtp port
    final String smtpAuth = "true";
    final String starttls = "true";
    final String emailHost = "smtp.gmail.com";


    String fromEmail;
    String fromPassword;
    List<String> toEmailList;
    String emailSubject;
    String emailBody;

    Properties emailProperties;
    Session mailSession;
    MimeMessage emailMessage;

    public GMail() {

    }

    public GMail(String fromEmail, String fromPassword,
            List<String> toEmailList, String emailSubject, String emailBody) {
        this.fromEmail = fromEmail;
        this.fromPassword = fromPassword;
        this.toEmailList = toEmailList;
        this.emailSubject = emailSubject;
        this.emailBody = emailBody;

        emailProperties = System.getProperties();
        emailProperties.put("mail.smtp.port", emailPort);
        emailProperties.put("mail.smtp.auth", smtpAuth);
        emailProperties.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", starttls);
        Log.i("GMail", "Mail server properties set.");
    }

    public MimeMessage createEmailMessage() throws AddressException,
            MessagingException, UnsupportedEncodingException {

        mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(emailProperties, null);
        emailMessage = new MimeMessage(mailSession);

        emailMessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromEmail, fromEmail));
        for (String toEmail : toEmailList) {
            Log.i("GMail", "toEmail: " + toEmail);
            emailMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    new InternetAddress(toEmail));
        }

        emailMessage.setSubject(emailSubject);
        emailMessage.setContent(emailBody, "text/html");// for a html email
        // emailMessage.setText(emailBody);// for a text email
        Log.i("GMail", "Email Message created.");
        return emailMessage;
    }

    public void sendEmail() throws AddressException, MessagingException {

        Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtp");
        transport.connect(emailHost, fromEmail, fromPassword);
        Log.i("GMail", "allrecipients: " + emailMessage.getAllRecipients());
        transport.sendMessage(emailMessage, emailMessage.getAllRecipients());
        transport.close();
        Log.i("GMail", "Email sent successfully.");
    }

}

SendMailTask.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

import java.util.List;

public class SendMailTask extends AsyncTask {

    private ProgressDialog statusDialog;
    private Activity sendMailActivity;

    public SendMailTask(Activity activity) {
        sendMailActivity = activity;

    }

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        statusDialog = new ProgressDialog(sendMailActivity);
        statusDialog.setMessage("Getting ready...");
        statusDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        statusDialog.setCancelable(false);
        statusDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected Object doInBackground(Object... args) {
        try {
            Log.i("SendMailTask", "About to instantiate GMail...");
            publishProgress("Processing input....");
            GMail androidEmail = new GMail(args[0].toString(),
                    args[1].toString(), (List) args[2], args[3].toString(),
                    args[4].toString());
            publishProgress("Preparing mail message....");
            androidEmail.createEmailMessage();
            publishProgress("Sending email....");
            androidEmail.sendEmail();
            publishProgress("Email Sent.");
            Log.i("SendMailTask", "Mail Sent.");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            publishProgress(e.getMessage());
            Log.e("SendMailTask", e.getMessage(), e);
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onProgressUpdate(Object... values) {
        statusDialog.setMessage(values[0].toString());

    }

    @Override
    public void onPostExecute(Object result) {
        statusDialog.dismiss();
    }

}

Step 3 : Now you can change this class according to your needs also you can send multiple mail using this class. i provide xml and java file both.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Hope it work if it not then just comment down below.

Passing a string array as a parameter to a function java

All the answers above are correct. But just note that you'll be passing the reference to the string array when you pass like this. If you make any modifications to the array in your called function, it will be reflected in the calling function also.

There is another concept called variable arguments in Java which you can look into. It basically works like this. Eg:-

 String concat (String ... strings)
   {
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ();
      for (int i = 0; i &lt; strings.length; i++)
           sb.append (strings [i]);
      return sb.toString ();
   }

Here we can call the function like concat(a,b,c,d) or any number of params you want.
