Insert value into a string at a certain position?

You can't modify strings; they're immutable. You can do this instead:

txtBox.Text = txtBox.Text.Substring(0, i) + "TEXT" + txtBox.Text.Substring(i);

CodeIgniter: Load controller within controller

Just to add more information to what Zain Abbas said:

Load the controller that way, and use it like he said:

$this->load->library('../controllers/instructor');

$this->instructor->functioname();

Or you can create an object and use it this way:

$this->load->library('../controllers/your_controller');

$obj = new $this->your_controller();

$obj->your_function();

Hope this can help.

How to make a Python script run like a service or daemon in Linux

If you are using terminal(ssh or something) and you want to keep a long-time script working after you log out from the terminal, you can try this:

screen

apt-get install screen

create a virtual terminal inside( namely abc): screen -dmS abc

now we connect to abc: screen -r abc

So, now we can run python script: python keep_sending_mails.py

from now on, you can directly close your terminal, however, the python script will keep running rather than being shut down

Since this keep_sending_mails.py's PID is a child process of the virtual screen rather than the terminal(ssh)

If you want to go back check your script running status, you can use screen -r abc again

How to change port number in vue-cli project

First Option:

OPEN package.json and add "--port port-no" in "serve" section.

Just like below, I have done it.

{
  "name": "app-name",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "vue-cli-service serve --port 8090",
    "build": "vue-cli-service build",
    "lint": "vue-cli-service lint"
}

Second Option: If You want through command prompt

npm run serve --port 8090

Sleep Command in T-SQL?

Here is a very simple piece of C# code to test the CommandTimeout with. It creates a new command which will wait for 2 seconds. Set the CommandTimeout to 1 second and you will see an exception when running it. Setting the CommandTimeout to either 0 or something higher than 2 will run fine. By the way, the default CommandTimeout is 30 seconds.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      var builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
      builder.DataSource = "localhost";
      builder.IntegratedSecurity = true;
      builder.InitialCatalog = "master";

      var connectionString = builder.ConnectionString;

      using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
      {
        connection.Open();

        using (var command = connection.CreateCommand())
        {
          command.CommandText = "WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:02'";
          command.CommandTimeout = 1;

          command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

converting string to long in python

Well, longs can't hold anything but integers.

One option is to use a float: float('234.89')

The other option is to truncate or round. Converting from a float to a long will truncate for you: long(float('234.89'))

>>> long(float('1.1'))
1L
>>> long(float('1.9'))
1L
>>> long(round(float('1.1')))
1L
>>> long(round(float('1.9')))
2L

Delete all rows in table

I would suggest using TRUNCATE TABLE, it's quicker and uses less resources than DELETE FROM xxx

Here's the related MSDN article

Github Push Error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 413

command to change the remote url ( from https -> git@... ) is something like this

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:GitUserName/GitRepoName.git

origin here is the name of my remote ( do git remote and what comes out is your origin ).

How can I change the date format in Java?

To Change the format of Date you have Require both format look below.

 String stringdate1 = "28/04/2010";  

 try {

     SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
     Date date1 = format1.parse()
     SimpleDateFormat format2 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");

     String stringdate2 = format2.format(date1);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}

here stringdate2 have date format of yyyy/MM/dd. and it contain 2010/04/28.

Java: Convert a String (representing an IP) to InetAddress

From the documentation of InetAddress.getByName(String host):

The host name can either be a machine name, such as "java.sun.com", or a textual representation of its IP address. If a literal IP address is supplied, only the validity of the address format is checked.

So you can use it.

How to generate the JPA entity Metamodel?

Let's assume our application uses the following Post, PostComment, PostDetails, and Tag entities, which form a one-to-many, one-to-one, and many-to-many table relationships:

JPA Criteria Metamodel

How to generate the JPA Criteria Metamodel

The hibernate-jpamodelgen tool provided by Hibernate ORM can be used to scan the project entities and generate the JPA Criteria Metamodel. All you need to do is add the following annotationProcessorPath to the maven-compiler-plugin in the Maven pom.xml configuration file:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-compiler-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <annotationProcessorPaths>
            <annotationProcessorPath>
                <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
                <artifactId>hibernate-jpamodelgen</artifactId>
                <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
            </annotationProcessorPath>
        </annotationProcessorPaths>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Now, when the project is compiled, you can see that in the target folder, the following Java classes are generated:

> tree target/generated-sources/
target/generated-sources/
+-- annotations
    +-- com
        +-- vladmihalcea
            +-- book
                +-- hpjp
                    +-- hibernate
                        +-- forum
                        ¦   +-- PostComment_.java
                        ¦   +-- PostDetails_.java
                        ¦   +-- Post_.java
                        ¦   +-- Tag_.java

Tag entity Metamodel

If the Tag entity is mapped as follows:

@Entity
@Table(name = "tag")
public class Tag {

    @Id
    private Long id;

    private String name;

    //Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

The Tag_ Metamodel class is generated like this:

@Generated(value = "org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor")
@StaticMetamodel(Tag.class)
public abstract class Tag_ {

    public static volatile SingularAttribute<Tag, String> name;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<Tag, Long> id;

    public static final String NAME = "name";
    public static final String ID = "id";
}

The SingularAttribute is used for the basic id and name Tag JPA entity attributes.

Post entity Metamodel

The Post entity is mapped like this:

@Entity
@Table(name = "post")
public class Post {

    @Id
    private Long id;

    private String title;

    @OneToMany(
        mappedBy = "post",
        cascade = CascadeType.ALL,
        orphanRemoval = true
    )
    private List<PostComment> comments = new ArrayList<>();

    @OneToOne(
        mappedBy = "post",
        cascade = CascadeType.ALL,
        fetch = FetchType.LAZY
    )
    @LazyToOne(LazyToOneOption.NO_PROXY)
    private PostDetails details;

    @ManyToMany
    @JoinTable(
        name = "post_tag",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "post_id"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "tag_id")
    )
    private List<Tag> tags = new ArrayList<>();
    
    //Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

The Post entity has two basic attributes, id and title, a one-to-many comments collection, a one-to-one details association, and a many-to-many tags collection.

The Post_ Metamodel class is generated as follows:

@Generated(value = "org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor")
@StaticMetamodel(Post.class)
public abstract class Post_ {

    public static volatile ListAttribute<Post, PostComment> comments;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<Post, PostDetails> details;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<Post, Long> id;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<Post, String> title;
    public static volatile ListAttribute<Post, Tag> tags;

    public static final String COMMENTS = "comments";
    public static final String DETAILS = "details";
    public static final String ID = "id";
    public static final String TITLE = "title";
    public static final String TAGS = "tags";
}

The basic id and title attributes, as well as the one-to-one details association, are represented by a SingularAttribute while the comments and tags collections are represented by the JPA ListAttribute.

PostDetails entity Metamodel

The PostDetails entity is mapped like this:

@Entity
@Table(name = "post_details")
public class PostDetails {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "created_on")
    private Date createdOn;

    @Column(name = "created_by")
    private String createdBy;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @MapsId
    @JoinColumn(name = "id")
    private Post post;
    
    //Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

All entity attributes are going to be represented by the JPA SingularAttribute in the associated PostDetails_ Metamodel class:

@Generated(value = "org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor")
@StaticMetamodel(PostDetails.class)
public abstract class PostDetails_ {

    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostDetails, Post> post;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostDetails, String> createdBy;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostDetails, Long> id;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostDetails, Date> createdOn;

    public static final String POST = "post";
    public static final String CREATED_BY = "createdBy";
    public static final String ID = "id";
    public static final String CREATED_ON = "createdOn";
}

PostComment entity Metamodel

The PostComment is mapped as follows:

@Entity
@Table(name = "post_comment")
public class PostComment {

    @Id
    private Long id;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    private Post post;

    private String review;
    
    //Getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

And, all entity attributes are represented by the JPA SingularAttribute in the associated PostComments_ Metamodel class:

@Generated(value = "org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor")
@StaticMetamodel(PostComment.class)
public abstract class PostComment_ {

    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostComment, Post> post;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostComment, String> review;
    public static volatile SingularAttribute<PostComment, Long> id;

    public static final String POST = "post";
    public static final String REVIEW = "review";
    public static final String ID = "id";
}

Using the JPA Criteria Metamodel

Without the JPA Metamodel, a Criteria API query that needs to fetch the PostComment entities filtered by their associated Post title would look like this:

CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();

CriteriaQuery<PostComment> query = builder.createQuery(PostComment.class);
Root<PostComment> postComment = query.from(PostComment.class);

Join<PostComment, Post> post = postComment.join("post");

query.where(
    builder.equal(
        post.get("title"),
        "High-Performance Java Persistence"
    )
);

List<PostComment> comments = entityManager
    .createQuery(query)
    .getResultList();

Notice that we used the post String literal when creating the Join instance, and we used the title String literal when referencing the Post title.

The JPA Metamodel allows us to avoid hard-coding entity attributes, as illustrated by the following example:

CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();

CriteriaQuery<PostComment> query = builder.createQuery(PostComment.class);
Root<PostComment> postComment = query.from(PostComment.class);

Join<PostComment, Post> post = postComment.join(PostComment_.post);

query.where(
    builder.equal(
        post.get(Post_.title),
        "High-Performance Java Persistence"
    )
);

List<PostComment> comments = entityManager
    .createQuery(query)
    .getResultList();

Or, let's say we want to fetch a DTO projection while filtering the Post title and the PostDetails createdOn attributes.

We can use the Metamodel when creating the join attributes, as well as when building the DTO projection column aliases or when referencing the entity attributes we need to filter:

CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();

CriteriaQuery<Object[]> query = builder.createQuery(Object[].class);

Root<PostComment> postComment = query.from(PostComment.class);
Join<PostComment, Post> post = postComment.join(PostComment_.post);

query.multiselect(
    postComment.get(PostComment_.id).alias(PostComment_.ID),
    postComment.get(PostComment_.review).alias(PostComment_.REVIEW),
    post.get(Post_.title).alias(Post_.TITLE)
);

query.where(
    builder.and(
        builder.like(
            post.get(Post_.title),
            "%Java Persistence%"
        ),
        builder.equal(
            post.get(Post_.details).get(PostDetails_.CREATED_BY),
            "Vlad Mihalcea"
        )
    )
);

List<PostCommentSummary> comments = entityManager
    .createQuery(query)
    .unwrap(Query.class)
    .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(PostCommentSummary.class))
    .getResultList();

Cool, right?

Convert Pixels to Points

System.Drawing.Graphics has DpiX and DpiY properties. DpiX is pixels per inch horizontally. DpiY is pixels per inch vertically. Use those to convert from points (72 points per inch) to pixels.

Ex: 14 horizontal points = (14 * DpiX) / 72 pixels

Launch a shell command with in a python script, wait for the termination and return to the script

this worked for me fine!

shell_command = "ls -l" subprocess.call(shell_command.split())

Base64 length calculation?

In windows - I wanted to estimate size of mime64 sized buffer, but all precise calculation formula's did not work for me - finally I've ended up with approximate formula like this:

Mine64 string allocation size (approximate) = (((4 * ((binary buffer size) + 1)) / 3) + 1)

So last +1 - it's used for ascii-zero - last character needs to allocated to store zero ending - but why "binary buffer size" is + 1 - I suspect that there is some mime64 termination character ? Or may be this is some alignment issue.

How can I serve static html from spring boot?

Static files should be served from resources, not from controller.

Spring Boot will automatically add static web resources located within any of the following directories:

/META-INF/resources/  
/resources/  
/static/  
/public/

How to change href attribute using JavaScript after opening the link in a new window?

for example try this :

<a href="http://www.google.com" id="myLink1">open link 1</a><br/> <a href="http://www.youtube.com" id="myLink2">open link 2</a>



    document.getElementById("myLink1").onclick = function() {
    window.open(
    "http://www.facebook.com"
        );
        return false;
      };

      document.getElementById("myLink2").onclick = function() {
    window.open(
    "http://www.yahoo.com"
        );
        return false;
      };

Eclipse: stop code from running (java)

For Eclipse: menu bar-> window -> show view then find "debug" option if not in list then select other ...

new window will open and then search using keyword "debug" -> select debug from list

it will added near console tab. use debug tab to terminate and remove previous executions. ( right clicking on executing process will show you many option including terminate)

Ways to save enums in database

As you say, ordinal is a bit risky. Consider for example:

public enum Boolean {
    TRUE, FALSE
}

public class BooleanTest {
    @Test
    public void testEnum() {
        assertEquals(0, Boolean.TRUE.ordinal());
        assertEquals(1, Boolean.FALSE.ordinal());
    }
}

If you stored this as ordinals, you might have rows like:

> SELECT STATEMENT, TRUTH FROM CALL_MY_BLUFF

"Alice is a boy"      1
"Graham is a boy"     0

But what happens if you updated Boolean?

public enum Boolean {
    TRUE, FILE_NOT_FOUND, FALSE
}

This means all your lies will become misinterpreted as 'file-not-found'

Better to just use a string representation

What is the right way to POST multipart/form-data using curl?

On Windows 10, curl 7.28.1 within powershell, I found the following to work for me:

$filePath = "c:\temp\dir with spaces\myfile.wav"
$curlPath = ("myfilename=@" + $filePath)
curl -v -F $curlPath URL

Calling multiple JavaScript functions on a button click

Because you're returning from the first method call, the second doesn't execute.

Try something like

OnClientClick="var b = validateView();ShowDiv1(); return b"

or reverse the situation,

OnClientClick="ShowDiv1();return validateView();"

or if there is a dependency of div1 on the validation routine.

OnClientClick="var b = validateView(); if (b) ShowDiv1(); return b"

What might be best is to encapsulate multiple inline statements into a mini function like so, to simplify the call:

// change logic to suit taste
function clicked()  {
    var b = validateView(); 
    if (b) 
        ShowDiv1()
    return b;
}

and then

OnClientClick="return clicked();"

member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type C#

As Constructor should be at the starting of the Class , you are facing the above issue . So, you can either change the name or if you want to use it as a constructor just copy the method at the beginning of the class.

OpenCV with Network Cameras

I just do it like this:

CvCapture *capture = cvCreateFileCapture("rtsp://camera-address");

Also make sure this dll is available at runtime else cvCreateFileCapture will return NULL

opencv_ffmpeg200d.dll

The camera needs to allow unauthenticated access too, usually set via its web interface. MJPEG format worked via rtsp but MPEG4 didn't.

Regex to match 2 digits, optional decimal, two digits

you can use

let regex = new RegExp( ^(?=[0-9.]{1,${maxlength}}$)[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]{0,${decimal_number}})?$ );

where you can decide the maximum length and up to which decimal point you want to control the value

Use ES6 String interpolation to wrap the variables ${maxlength} and ${decimal_number}.

How set maximum date in datepicker dialog in android?

Get today's date (& time) and apply them as maximum date.

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2017, 0, 1);//Year,Mounth -1,Day
your_date_picker.setMaxDate(c.getTimeInMillis());

ALSO WE MAY DO THIS (check this Stackoverflow answer for System.currentTimeMillis() vs Calendar method)

long now = System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000;
dp_time.setMinDate(now);
dp_time.setMaxDate(now+(1000*60*60*24*7)); //After 7 Days from Now

Set Culture in an ASP.Net MVC app

1: Create a custom attribute and override method like this:

public class CultureAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
    // Retreive culture from GET
    string currentCulture = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString["culture"];

    // Also, you can retreive culture from Cookie like this :
    //string currentCulture = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Cookies["cookie"].Value;

    // Set culture
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(currentCulture);
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(currentCulture);
    }
}

2: In App_Start, find FilterConfig.cs, add this attribute. (this works for WHOLE application)

public class FilterConfig
{
    public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
    {
    // Add custom attribute here
    filters.Add(new CultureAttribute());
    }
}    

That's it !

If you want to define culture for each controller/action in stead of whole application, you can use this attribute like this:

[Culture]
public class StudentsController : Controller
{
}

Or:

[Culture]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

C# Interfaces. Implicit implementation versus Explicit implementation

Implicit definition would be to just add the methods / properties, etc. demanded by the interface directly to the class as public methods.

Explicit definition forces the members to be exposed only when you are working with the interface directly, and not the underlying implementation. This is preferred in most cases.

  1. By working directly with the interface, you are not acknowledging, and coupling your code to the underlying implementation.
  2. In the event that you already have, say, a public property Name in your code and you want to implement an interface that also has a Name property, doing it explicitly will keep the two separate. Even if they were doing the same thing I'd still delegate the explicit call to the Name property. You never know, you may want to change how Name works for the normal class and how Name, the interface property works later on.
  3. If you implement an interface implicitly then your class now exposes new behaviours that might only be relevant to a client of the interface and it means you aren't keeping your classes succinct enough (my opinion).

How to convert a date to milliseconds

The 2017 answer is: Use the date and time classes introduced in Java 8 (and also backported to Java 6 and 7 in the ThreeTen Backport).

If you want to interpret the date-time string in the computer’s time zone:

    long millisSinceEpoch = LocalDateTime.parse(myDate, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"))
            .atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())
            .toInstant()
            .toEpochMilli();

If another time zone, fill that zone in instead of ZoneId.systemDefault(). If UTC, use

    long millisSinceEpoch = LocalDateTime.parse(myDate, DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"))
            .atOffset(ZoneOffset.UTC)
            .toInstant()
            .toEpochMilli();

How to add title to subplots in Matplotlib?

A solution I tend to use more and more is this one:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)  # 1
for i, ax in enumerate(axs.ravel()): # 2
    ax.set_title("Plot #{}".format(i)) # 3
  1. Create your arbitrary number of axes
  2. axs.ravel() converts your 2-dim object to a 1-dim vector in row-major style
  3. assigns the title to the current axis-object

Two dimensional array list

Here's how to make and print a 2D Multi-Dimensional Array using the ArrayList Object.

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class TwoD_ArrayListExample {
    static public ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> gameBoard = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        insertObjects();
        printTable(gameBoard);
    }

    public static void insertObjects() {
        for (int rowNum = 0; rowNum != 8; rowNum++) {
            ArrayList<String> oneRow = new ArrayList<String>();
            gameBoard.add(rowNum, oneRow);

            for (int columnNum = 0; columnNum != 8; columnNum++) {
                String description= "Description of Objects: row= "+ rowNum + ", column= "+ columnNum;
                    oneRow.add(columnNum, description);
            }
        }
    }

    // The printTable method prints the table to the console
    private static void printTable(ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> table) {
        for (int row = 0; row != 8; row++) {
            for (int col = 0; col != 8; col++) {
                System.out.println("Printing:               row= "+ row+ ", column= "+ col);
                System.out.println(table.get(row).get(col).toString());
            }
        }
        System.out.println("\n");
    }
}

error C2039: 'string' : is not a member of 'std', header file problem

Your FMAT.h requires a definition of std::string in order to complete the definition of class FMAT. In FMAT.cpp, you've done this by #include <string> before #include "FMAT.h". You haven't done that in your main file.

Your attempt to forward declare string was incorrect on two levels. First you need a fully qualified name, std::string. Second this works only for pointers and references, not for variables of the declared type; a forward declaration doesn't give the compiler enough information about what to embed in the class you're defining.

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

As a python neophyte, I just wanted to mention that if the data did actually look like this:

data = [('abc', 121),('abc', 231),('abc', 148), ('abc',221)]

then sorted() would automatically sort by the second element in the tuple, as the first elements are all identical.

AngularJs $http.post() does not send data

Add this in your js file:

$http.defaults.headers.post["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

and add this to your server file:

$params = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

That should work.

Laravel Eloquent: How to get only certain columns from joined tables

user2317976 has introduced a great static way of selecting related tables' columns.

Here is a dynamic trick I've found so you can get whatever you want when using the model:

return Response::eloquent(Theme::with(array('user' => function ($q) {
    $q->addSelect(array('id','username'))
}))->get();

I just found this trick also works well with load() too. This is very convenient.

$queriedTheme->load(array('user'=>function($q){$q->addSelect(..)});

Make sure you also include target table's key otherwise it won't be able to find it.

I'm getting an error "invalid use of incomplete type 'class map'

I am just providing another case where you can get this error message. The solution will be the same as Adam has mentioned above. This is from a real code and I renamed the class name.

class FooReader {
  public:
     /** Constructor */
     FooReader() : d(new FooReaderPrivate(this)) { }  // will not compile here
     .......
  private:
     FooReaderPrivate* d;
};

====== In a separate file =====
class FooReaderPrivate {
  public:
     FooReaderPrivate(FooReader*) : parent(p) { }
  private:
     FooReader* parent;
};

The above will no pass the compiler and get error: invalid use of incomplete type FooReaderPrivate. You basically have to put the inline portion into the *.cpp implementation file. This is OK. What I am trying to say here is that you may have a design issue. Cross reference of two classes may be necessary some cases, but I would say it is better to avoid them at the start of the design. I would be wrong, but please comment then I will update my posting.

How to hide a div with jQuery?

$("myDiv").hide(); and $("myDiv").show(); does not work in Internet Explorer that well.

The way I got around this was to get the html content of myDiv using .html().

I then wrote it to a newly created DIV. I then appended the DIV to the body and appended the content of the variable Content to the HiddenField then read that contents from the newly created div when I wanted to show the DIV.

After I used the .remove() method to get rid of the DIV that was temporarily holding my DIVs html.

var Content = $('myDiv').html(); 
        $('myDiv').empty();
        var hiddenField = $("<input type='hidden' id='myDiv2'>");
        $('body').append(hiddenField);
        HiddenField.val(Content);

and then when I wanted to SHOW the content again.

        var Content = $('myDiv');
        Content.html($('#myDiv2').val());
        $('#myDiv2').remove();

This was more reliable that the .hide() & .show() methods.

Fiddler not capturing traffic from browsers

I had the same issue with Firefox. The solution was to set the proxy settings to "system proxy settings". Fiddler can only capture traffic that goes through its proxy server. Capturing was stopped because a few days ago I was tinkering with the Firefox proxy settings for another project.

It follows that using Chrome you should also check the browser proxy settings in case of problems with capturing traffic with Fiddler.

Using a dispatch_once singleton model in Swift

Just for reference, here is an example Singleton implementation of Jack Wu/hpique's Nested Struct implementation. The implementation also shows how archiving could work, as well as some accompanying functions. I couldn't find this complete of an example, so hopefully this helps somebody!

import Foundation

class ItemStore: NSObject {

    class var sharedStore : ItemStore {
        struct Singleton {
            // lazily initiated, thread-safe from "let"
            static let instance = ItemStore()
        }
        return Singleton.instance
    }

    var _privateItems = Item[]()
    // The allItems property can't be changed by other objects
    var allItems: Item[] {
        return _privateItems
    }

    init() {
        super.init()
        let path = itemArchivePath
        // Returns "nil" if there is no file at the path
        let unarchivedItems : AnyObject! = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithFile(path)

        // If there were archived items saved, set _privateItems for the shared store equal to that
        if unarchivedItems {
            _privateItems = unarchivedItems as Array<Item>
        } 

        delayOnMainQueueFor(numberOfSeconds: 0.1, action: {
            assert(self === ItemStore.sharedStore, "Only one instance of ItemStore allowed!")
        })
    }

    func createItem() -> Item {
        let item = Item.randomItem()
        _privateItems.append(item)
        return item
    }

    func removeItem(item: Item) {
        for (index, element) in enumerate(_privateItems) {
            if element === item {
                _privateItems.removeAtIndex(index)
                // Delete an items image from the image store when the item is 
                // getting deleted
                ImageStore.sharedStore.deleteImageForKey(item.itemKey)
            }
        }
    }

    func moveItemAtIndex(fromIndex: Int, toIndex: Int) {
        _privateItems.moveObjectAtIndex(fromIndex, toIndex: toIndex)
    }

    var itemArchivePath: String {
        // Create a filepath for archiving
        let documentDirectories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)
        // Get the one document directory from that list
        let documentDirectory = documentDirectories[0] as String
        // append with the items.archive file name, then return
        return documentDirectory.stringByAppendingPathComponent("items.archive")
    }

    func saveChanges() -> Bool {
        let path = itemArchivePath
        // Return "true" on success
        return NSKeyedArchiver.archiveRootObject(_privateItems, toFile: path)
    }
}

And if you didn't recognize some of those functions, here is a little living Swift utility file I've been using:

import Foundation
import UIKit

typealias completionBlock = () -> ()

extension Array {
    func contains(#object:AnyObject) -> Bool {
        return self.bridgeToObjectiveC().containsObject(object)
    }

    func indexOf(#object:AnyObject) -> Int {
        return self.bridgeToObjectiveC().indexOfObject(object)
    }

    mutating func moveObjectAtIndex(fromIndex: Int, toIndex: Int) {
        if ((fromIndex == toIndex) || (fromIndex > self.count) ||
            (toIndex > self.count)) {
                return
        }
        // Get object being moved so it can be re-inserted
        let object = self[fromIndex]

        // Remove object from array
        self.removeAtIndex(fromIndex)

        // Insert object in array at new location
        self.insert(object, atIndex: toIndex)
    }
}

func delayOnMainQueueFor(numberOfSeconds delay:Double, action closure:()->()) {
    dispatch_after(
        dispatch_time(

How to check if iframe is loaded or it has a content?

Easiest option:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function frameload(){
   alert("iframe loaded")
  }
</script>

<iframe onload="frameload()" src=...>

How to parse a text file with C#

Another solution, this time making use of regular expressions:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

...

Regex parts = new Regex(@"^\d+\t(\d+)\t.+?\t(item\\[^\t]+\.ddj)");

StreamReader reader = FileInfo.OpenText("filename.txt");
string line;
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null) {
    Match match = parts.Match(line);
    if (match.Success) {
        int number = int.Parse(match.Group(1).Value);
        string path = match.Group(2).Value;

        // At this point, `number` and `path` contain the values we want
        // for the current line. We can then store those values or print them,
        // or anything else we like.
    }
}

That expression's a little complex, so here it is broken down:

^        Start of string
\d+      "\d" means "digit" - 0-9. The "+" means "one or more."
         So this means "one or more digits."
\t       This matches a tab.
(\d+)    This also matches one or more digits. This time, though, we capture it
         using brackets. This means we can access it using the Group method.
\t       Another tab.
.+?      "." means "anything." So "one or more of anything". In addition, it's lazy.
         This is to stop it grabbing everything in sight - it'll only grab as much
         as it needs to for the regex to work.
\t       Another tab.

(item\\[^\t]+\.ddj)
    Here's the meat. This matches: "item\<one or more of anything but a tab>.ddj"

Appending pandas dataframes generated in a for loop

Use pd.concat to merge a list of DataFrame into a single big DataFrame.

appended_data = []
for infile in glob.glob("*.xlsx"):
    data = pandas.read_excel(infile)
    # store DataFrame in list
    appended_data.append(data)
# see pd.concat documentation for more info
appended_data = pd.concat(appended_data)
# write DataFrame to an excel sheet 
appended_data.to_excel('appended.xlsx')

List all files and directories in a directory + subdirectories

Some improved version with max lvl to go down in directory and option to exclude folders:

using System;
using System.IO;

class MainClass {
  public static void Main (string[] args) {

    var dir = @"C:\directory\to\print";
    PrintDirectoryTree(dir, 2, new string[] {"folder3"});
  }


  public static void PrintDirectoryTree(string directory, int lvl, string[] excludedFolders = null, string lvlSeperator = "")
  {
    excludedFolders = excludedFolders ?? new string[0];

    foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(directory))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(lvlSeperator+Path.GetFileName(f));
    } 

    foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(directory))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(lvlSeperator + "-" + Path.GetFileName(d));

        if(lvl > 0 && Array.IndexOf(excludedFolders, Path.GetFileName(d)) < 0)
        {
          PrintDirectoryTree(d, lvl-1, excludedFolders, lvlSeperator+"  ");
        }
    }
  }
}

input directory:

-folder1
  file1.txt
  -folder2
    file2.txt
    -folder5
      file6.txt
  -folder3
    file3.txt
  -folder4
    file4.txt
    file5.txt

output of the function (content of folder5 is excluded due to lvl limit and content of folder3 is excluded because it is in excludedFolders array):

-folder1
  file1.txt
  -folder2
    file2.txt
    -folder5
  -folder3
  -folder4
    file4.txt
    file5.txt

How can I convert a cv::Mat to a gray scale in OpenCv?

Using the C++ API, the function name has slightly changed and it writes now:

#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

cv::Mat greyMat, colorMat;
cv::cvtColor(colorMat, greyMat, CV_BGR2GRAY);

The main difficulties are that the function is in the imgproc module (not in the core), and by default cv::Mat are in the Blue Green Red (BGR) order instead of the more common RGB.

OpenCV 3

Starting with OpenCV 3.0, there is yet another convention. Conversion codes are embedded in the namespace cv:: and are prefixed with COLOR. So, the example becomes then:

#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

cv::Mat greyMat, colorMat;
cv::cvtColor(colorMat, greyMat, cv::COLOR_BGR2GRAY);

As far as I have seen, the included file path hasn't changed (this is not a typo).

How can I create a copy of an object in Python?

To get a fully independent copy of an object you can use the copy.deepcopy() function.

For more details about shallow and deep copying please refer to the other answers to this question and the nice explanation in this answer to a related question.

What does the "+=" operator do in Java?

devtop += Math.pow(x[i] - mean, 2); will add the result of the operation Math.pow(x[i] - mean, 2) to the devtop variable.

A more simple example:

int devtop = 2;
devtop += 3; // devtop now equals 5

How to display image from URL on Android

C/C++ include header file order

The big thing to keep in mind is that your headers should not be dependent upon other headers being included first. One way to insure this is to include your headers before any other headers.

"Thinking in C++" in particular mentions this, referencing Lakos' "Large Scale C++ Software Design":

Latent usage errors can be avoided by ensuring that the .h file of a component parses by itself – without externally-provided declarations or definitions... Including the .h file as the very first line of the .c file ensures that no critical piece of information intrinsic to the physical interface of the component is missing from the .h file (or, if there is, that you will find out about it as soon as you try to compile the .c file).

That is to say, include in the following order:

  1. The prototype/interface header for this implementation (ie, the .h/.hh file that corresponds to this .cpp/.cc file).
  2. Other headers from the same project, as needed.
  3. Headers from other non-standard, non-system libraries (for example, Qt, Eigen, etc).
  4. Headers from other "almost-standard" libraries (for example, Boost)
  5. Standard C++ headers (for example, iostream, functional, etc.)
  6. Standard C headers (for example, cstdint, dirent.h, etc.)

If any of the headers have an issue with being included in this order, either fix them (if yours) or don't use them. Boycott libraries that don't write clean headers.

Google's C++ style guide argues almost the reverse, with really no justification at all; I personally tend to favor the Lakos approach.

How to base64 encode image in linux bash / shell

You need to use cat to get the contents of the file named 'DSC_0251.JPG', rather than the filename itself.

test="$(cat DSC_0251.JPG | base64)"

However, base64 can read from the file itself:

test=$( base64 DSC_0251.JPG )

Creating table variable in SQL server 2008 R2

@tableName Table variables are alive for duration of the script running only i.e. they are only session level objects.

To test this, open two query editor windows under sql server management studio, and create table variables with same name but different structures. You will get an idea. The @tableName object is thus temporary and used for our internal processing of data, and it doesn't contribute to the actual database structure.

There is another type of table object which can be created for temporary use. They are #tableName objects declared like similar create statement for physical tables:

Create table #test (Id int, Name varchar(50))

This table object is created and stored in temp database. Unlike the first one, this object is more useful, can store large data and takes part in transactions etc. These tables are alive till the connection is open. You have to drop the created object by following script before re-creating it.

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test') IS NOT NULL
  DROP TABLE #test 

Hope this makes sense !

Importing CSV with line breaks in Excel 2007

Excel (at least in Office 2007 on XP) can behave differently depending on whether a CSV file is imported by opening it from the File->Open menu or by double-clicking on the file in Explorer.

I have a CSV file that is in UTF-8 encoding and contains newlines in some cells. If I open this file from Excel's File->Open menu, the "import CSV" wizard pops up and the file cannot be correctly imported: the newlines start a new row even when quoted. If I open this file by double-clicking on it in an Explorer window, then it opens correctly without the intervention of the wizard.

Get the POST request body from HttpServletRequest

In Java 8, you can do it in a simpler and clean way :

if ("POST".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod())) 
{
   test = request.getReader().lines().collect(Collectors.joining(System.lineSeparator()));
}

Java: Array with loop

int[] nums = new int[100];

int sum = 0;

// Fill it with numbers using a for-loop for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++)

{ 
     nums[i] = i + 1;
    sum += n;
}

System.out.println(sum);

Change output format for MySQL command line results to CSV

mysql client can detect the output fd, if the fd is S_IFIFO(pipe) then don't output ASCII TABLES, if the fd is character device(S_IFCHR) then output ASCII TABLES.

you can use --table to force output the ASCII TABLES like:

$mysql -t -N -h127.0.0.1 -e "select id from sbtest1 limit 1" | cat
+--------+
| 100024 |
+--------+

-t, --table Output in table format.

How to hide Bootstrap previous modal when you opening new one?

The best that I've been able to do is

$(this).closest('.modal').modal('toggle');

This gets the modal holding the DOM object you triggered the event on (guessing you're clicking a button). Gets the closest parent '.modal' and toggles it. Obviously only works because it's inside the modal you clicked.

You can however do this:

$(".modal:visible").modal('toggle');

This gets the modal that is displaying (since you can only have one open at a time), and triggers the 'toggle' This would not work without ":visible"

Check a collection size with JSTL

<c:if test="${companies.size() > 0}">

</c:if>

This syntax works only in EL 2.2 or newer (Servlet 3.0 / JSP 2.2 or newer). If you're facing a XML parsing error because you're using JSPX or Facelets instead of JSP, then use gt instead of >.

<c:if test="${companies.size() gt 0}">

</c:if>

If you're actually facing an EL parsing error, then you're probably using a too old EL version. You'll need JSTL fn:length() function then. From the documentation:

length( java.lang.Object) - Returns the number of items in a collection, or the number of characters in a string.

Put this at the top of JSP page to allow the fn namespace:

<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>

Or if you're using JSPX or Facelets:

<... xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions">

And use like this in your page:

<p>The length of the companies collection is: ${fn:length(companies)}</p>

So to test with length of a collection:

<c:if test="${fn:length(companies) gt 0}">

</c:if>

Alternatively, for this specific case you can also simply use the EL empty operator:

<c:if test="${not empty companies}">

</c:if>

how to convert a string date into datetime format in python?

The particular format for strptime:

datetime.datetime.strptime(string_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
#>>> datetime.datetime(2013, 9, 28, 20, 30, 55, 782000)

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

This checks if an element is at least partially in view (vertical dimension):

function inView(element) {
    var box = element.getBoundingClientRect();
    return inViewBox(box);
}

function inViewBox(box) {
    return ((box.bottom < 0) || (box.top > getWindowSize().h)) ? false : true;
}


function getWindowSize() {
    return { w: document.body.offsetWidth || document.documentElement.offsetWidth || window.innerWidth, h: document.body.offsetHeight || document.documentElement.offsetHeight || window.innerHeight}
}

Reinitialize Slick js after successful ajax call

After calling an request, set timeout to initialize slick slider.

var options = {
    arrows: false,
    slidesToShow: 1,
    variableWidth: true,
    centerPadding: '10px'
}

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: review_url+"?page="+page,
    success: function(result){
        setTimeout(function () {
            $(".reviews-page-carousel").slick(options)
        }, 500);
    }
})

Do not initialize slick slider at start. Just initialize after an AJAX with timeout. That should work for you.

batch script - run command on each file in directory

Actually this is pretty easy since Windows Vista. Microsoft added the command FORFILES

in your case

forfiles /p c:\directory /m *.xls /c "cmd /c ssconvert @file @fname.xlsx"

the only weird thing with this command is that forfiles automatically adds double quotes around @file and @fname. but it should work anyway

Copying files from server to local computer using SSH

You need to name the file in both directory paths.

scp [email protected]:/dir/of/file.txt \local\dir\file.txt

OR operator in switch-case?

You cannot use || operators in between 2 case. But you can use multiple case values without using a break between them. The program will then jump to the respective case and then it will look for code to execute until it finds a "break". As a result these cases will share the same code.

switch(value) 
{ 
    case 0: 
    case 1: 
        // do stuff for if case 0 || case 1 
        break; 
    // other cases 
    default: 
        break; 
}

How to set label size in Bootstrap

if you have

<span class="label label-default">New</span>

just add the style="font-size:XXpx;", ej.

<span class="label label-default" style="font-size:15px;">New</span>

How to write file in UTF-8 format?

On Unix/Linux a simple shell command could be used alternatively to convert all files from a given directory:

 recode L1..UTF8 dir/*

Could be started via PHPs exec() as well.

Create a branch in Git from another branch

If you want to make a branch from some another branch then follow bellow steps:

Assumptions:

  1. You are currently in master branch.
  2. You have no changes to commit. (If you have any changes to commit, stash it!).
  3. BranchExisting is the name of branch from which you need to make a new branch with name BranchMyNew.

Steps:

  1. Fetch the branch to your local machine.

    $ git fetch origin BranchExisting : BranchExisting
    

This command will create a new branch in your local with same branch name.

  1. Now, from master branch checkout to the newly fetched branch

    $ git checkout BranchExisting
    
  2. You are now in BranchExisting. Now create a new branch from this existing branch.

    $ git checkout -b BranchMyNew
    

Here you go!

How do I add a submodule to a sub-directory?

I had a similar issue, but had painted myself into a corner with GUI tools.

I had a subproject with a few files in it that I had so far just copied around instead of checking into their own git repo. I created a repo in the subfolder, was able to commit, push, etc just fine. But in the parent repo the subfolder wasn't treated as a submodule, and its files were still being tracked by the parent repo - no good.

To get out of this mess I had to tell Git to stop tracking the subfolder (without deleting the files):

proj> git rm -r --cached ./ui/jslib

Then I had to tell it there was a submodule there (which you can't do if anything there is currently being tracked by git):

proj> git submodule add ./ui/jslib

Update

The ideal way to handle this involves a couple more steps. Ideally, the existing repo is moved out to its own directory, free of any parent git modules, committed and pushed, and then added as a submodule like:

proj> git submodule add [email protected]:user/jslib.git ui/jslib

That will clone the git repo in as a submodule - which involves the standard cloning steps, but also several other more obscure config steps that git takes on your behalf to get that submodule to work. The most important difference is that it places a simple .git file there, instead of a .git directory, which contains a path reference to where the real git dir lives - generally at parent project root .git/modules/jslib.

If you don't do things this way they'll work fine for you, but as soon as you commit and push the parent, and another dev goes to pull that parent, you just made their life a lot harder. It will be very difficult for them to replicate the structure you have on your machine so long as you have a full .git dir in a subfolder of a dir that contains its own .git dir.

So, move, push, git add submodule, is the cleanest option.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: contains a path separator

You cannot use path with directory separators directly, but you will have to make a file object for every directory.

NOTE: This code makes directories, yours may not need that...

File file= context.getFilesDir();
file.mkdir();

String[] array=filePath.split("/");
for(int t=0; t< array.length -1 ;t++)
{
    file=new File(file,array[t]);
    file.mkdir();
}

File f=new File(file,array[array.length-1]);

RandomAccessFileOutputStream rvalue = new RandomAccessFileOutputStream(f,append);

T-SQL Substring - Last 3 Characters

declare @newdata varchar(30)
set @newdata='IDS_ENUM_Change_262147_190'
select REVERSE(substring(reverse(@newdata),0,charindex('_',reverse(@newdata))))

=== Explanation ===

I found it easier to read written like this:

SELECT
    REVERSE( --4.
        SUBSTRING( -- 3.
            REVERSE(<field_name>),
            0,
            CHARINDEX( -- 2.
                '<your char of choice>',
                REVERSE(<field_name>) -- 1.
            )
        )
    )
FROM
    <table_name>
  1. Reverse the text
  2. Look for the first occurrence of a specif char (i.e. first occurrence FROM END of text). Gets the index of this char
  3. Looks at the reversed text again. searches from index 0 to index of your char. This gives the string you are looking for, but in reverse
  4. Reversed the reversed string to give you your desired substring

Get escaped URL parameter

What you really want is the jQuery URL Parser plugin. With this plugin, getting the value of a specific URL parameter (for the current URL) looks like this:

$.url().param('foo');

If you want an object with parameter names as keys and parameter values as values, you'd just call param() without an argument, like this:

$.url().param();

This library also works with other urls, not just the current one:

$.url('http://allmarkedup.com?sky=blue&grass=green').param();
$('#myElement').url().param(); // works with elements that have 'src', 'href' or 'action' attributes

Since this is an entire URL parsing library, you can also get other information from the URL, like the port specified, or the path, protocol etc:

var url = $.url('http://allmarkedup.com/folder/dir/index.html?item=value');
url.attr('protocol'); // returns 'http'
url.attr('path'); // returns '/folder/dir/index.html'

It has other features as well, check out its homepage for more docs and examples.

Instead of writing your own URI parser for this specific purpose that kinda works in most cases, use an actual URI parser. Depending on the answer, code from other answers can return 'null' instead of null, doesn't work with empty parameters (?foo=&bar=x), can't parse and return all parameters at once, repeats the work if you repeatedly query the URL for parameters etc.

Use an actual URI parser, don't invent your own.

For those averse to jQuery, there's a version of the plugin that's pure JS.

ctypes - Beginner

Here's a quick and dirty ctypes tutorial.

First, write your C library. Here's a simple Hello world example:

testlib.c

#include <stdio.h>

void myprint(void);

void myprint()
{
    printf("hello world\n");
}

Now compile it as a shared library (mac fix found here):

$ gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,testlib -o testlib.so -fPIC testlib.c

# or... for Mac OS X 
$ gcc -shared -Wl,-install_name,testlib.so -o testlib.so -fPIC testlib.c

Then, write a wrapper using ctypes:

testlibwrapper.py

import ctypes

testlib = ctypes.CDLL('/full/path/to/testlib.so')
testlib.myprint()

Now execute it:

$ python testlibwrapper.py

And you should see the output

Hello world
$

If you already have a library in mind, you can skip the non-python part of the tutorial. Make sure ctypes can find the library by putting it in /usr/lib or another standard directory. If you do this, you don't need to specify the full path when writing the wrapper. If you choose not to do this, you must provide the full path of the library when calling ctypes.CDLL().

This isn't the place for a more comprehensive tutorial, but if you ask for help with specific problems on this site, I'm sure the community would help you out.

PS: I'm assuming you're on Linux because you've used ctypes.CDLL('libc.so.6'). If you're on another OS, things might change a little bit (or quite a lot).

Node.js: How to read a stream into a buffer?

I just want to post my solution. Previous answers was pretty helpful for my research. I use length-stream to get the size of the stream, but the problem here is that the callback is fired near the end of the stream, so i also use stream-cache to cache the stream and pipe it to res object once i know the content-length. In case on an error,

var StreamCache = require('stream-cache');
var lengthStream = require('length-stream');

var _streamFile = function(res , stream , cb){
    var cache = new StreamCache();

    var lstream = lengthStream(function(length) {
        res.header("Content-Length", length);
        cache.pipe(res);
    });

    stream.on('error', function(err){
        return cb(err);
    });

    stream.on('end', function(){
        return cb(null , true);
    });

    return stream.pipe(lstream).pipe(cache);
}

How to extract the substring between two markers?

Surprised that nobody has mentioned this which is my quick version for one-off scripts:

>>> x = 'gfgfdAAA1234ZZZuijjk'
>>> x.split('AAA')[1].split('ZZZ')[0]
'1234'

SUM OVER PARTITION BY

You could have used DISTINCT or just remove the PARTITION BY portions and use GROUP BY:

SELECT BrandId
       ,SUM(ICount)
       ,TotalICount = SUM(ICount) OVER ()    
       ,Percentage = SUM(ICount) OVER ()*1.0 / SUM(ICount) 
FROM Table 
WHERE DateId  = 20130618
GROUP BY BrandID

Not sure why you are dividing the total by the count per BrandID, if that's a mistake and you want percent of total then reverse those bits above to:

SELECT BrandId
           ,SUM(ICount)
           ,TotalICount = SUM(ICount) OVER ()    
           ,Percentage = SUM(ICount)*1.0 / SUM(ICount) OVER () 
    FROM Table 
    WHERE DateId  = 20130618

Laravel - Session store not set on request

In my case (using Laravel 5.3) adding only the following 2 middleware allowed me to access session data in my API routes:

  • \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class
  • \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class

Whole declaration ($middlewareGroups in Kernel.php):

'api' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            'throttle:60,1',
            'bindings',
        ],

TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer

Your item variable holds Array instance (in [hash_key, hash_value] format), so it doesn't expect Symbol in [] method.

This is how you could do it using Hash#each:

def format(hash)
  output = Hash.new
  hash.each do |key, value|
    output[key] = cleanup(value)
  end
  output
end

or, without this:

def format(hash)
  output = hash.dup
  output[:company_name] = cleanup(output[:company_name])
  output[:street] = cleanup(output[:street])
  output
end

How does the stack work in assembly language?

I haven't seen the Gas assembler specifically, but in general the stack is "implemented" by maintaining a reference to the location in memory where the top of the stack resides. The memory location is stored in a register, which has different names for different architectures, but can be thought of as the stack pointer register.

The pop and push commands are implemented in most architectures for you by building upon micro instructions. However, some "Educational Architectures" require you implement them your self. Functionally, push would be implemented somewhat like this:

   load the address in the stack pointer register to a gen. purpose register x
   store data y at the location x
   increment stack pointer register by size of y

Also, some architectures store the last used memory address as the Stack Pointer. Some store the next available address.

JavaScript equivalent of PHP's in_array()

There is now Array.prototype.includes:

The includes() method determines whether an array includes a certain element, returning true or false as appropriate.

var a = [1, 2, 3];
a.includes(2); // true 
a.includes(4); // false

Syntax

arr.includes(searchElement)
arr.includes(searchElement, fromIndex)

How does Java deal with multiple conditions inside a single IF statement

Yes, Java (similar to other mainstream languages) uses lazy evaluation short-circuiting which means it evaluates as little as possible.

This means that the following code is completely safe:

if(p != null && p.getAge() > 10)

Also, a || b never evaluates b if a evaluates to true.

cordova run with ios error .. Error code 65 for command: xcodebuild with args:

You need a development provisioning profile on your build machine. Apps can run on the simulator without a profile, but they are required to run on an actual device.

If you open the project in Xcode, it may automatically set up provisioning for you. Otherwise you will have to create go to the iOS Dev Center and create a profile.

What is the "continue" keyword and how does it work in Java?

Generally, I see continue (and break) as a warning that the code might use some refactoring, especially if the while or for loop declaration isn't immediately in sight. The same is true for return in the middle of a method, but for a slightly different reason.

As others have already said, continue moves along to the next iteration of the loop, while break moves out of the enclosing loop.

These can be maintenance timebombs because there is no immediate link between the continue/break and the loop it is continuing/breaking other than context; add an inner loop or move the "guts" of the loop into a separate method and you have a hidden effect of the continue/break failing.

IMHO, it's best to use them as a measure of last resort, and then to make sure their use is grouped together tightly at the start or end of the loop so that the next developer can see the "bounds" of the loop in one screen.

continue, break, and return (other than the One True Return at the end of your method) all fall into the general category of "hidden GOTOs". They place loop and function control in unexpected places, which then eventually causes bugs.

Move column by name to front of table in pandas

We can use ix to reorder by passing a list:

In [27]:
# get a list of columns
cols = list(df)
# move the column to head of list using index, pop and insert
cols.insert(0, cols.pop(cols.index('Mid')))
cols
Out[27]:
['Mid', 'Net', 'Upper', 'Lower', 'Zsore']
In [28]:
# use ix to reorder
df = df.ix[:, cols]
df
Out[28]:
                      Mid Net  Upper   Lower  Zsore
Answer_option                                      
More_than_once_a_day    2  0%  0.22%  -0.12%     65
Once_a_day              3  0%  0.32%  -0.19%     45
Several_times_a_week    4  2%  2.45%   1.10%     78
Once_a_week             6  1%  1.63%  -0.40%     65

Another method is to take a reference to the column and reinsert it at the front:

In [39]:
mid = df['Mid']
df.drop(labels=['Mid'], axis=1,inplace = True)
df.insert(0, 'Mid', mid)
df
Out[39]:
                      Mid Net  Upper   Lower  Zsore
Answer_option                                      
More_than_once_a_day    2  0%  0.22%  -0.12%     65
Once_a_day              3  0%  0.32%  -0.19%     45
Several_times_a_week    4  2%  2.45%   1.10%     78
Once_a_week             6  1%  1.63%  -0.40%     65

You can also use loc to achieve the same result as ix will be deprecated in a future version of pandas from 0.20.0 onwards:

df = df.loc[:, cols]

How to indent/format a selection of code in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl + Shift + F

I want to indent a specific section of code in Visual Studio Code:

  • Select the lines you want to indent, and
  • use Ctrl + ] to indent them.

If you want to format a section (instead of indent it):

  • Select the lines you want to format,
  • use Ctrl + K, Ctrl + F to format them.

Creating and appending text to txt file in VB.NET

You didn't close the file after creating it, so when you write to it, it's in use by yourself. The Create method opens the file and returns a FileStream object. You either write to the file using the FileStream or close it before writing to it. I would suggest that you use the CreateText method instead in this case, as it returns a StreamWriter.

You also forgot to close the StreamWriter in the case where the file didn't exist, so it would most likely still be locked when you would try to write to it the next time. And you forgot to write the error message to the file if it didn't exist.

Dim strFile As String = "C:\ErrorLog_" & DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy") & ".txt"
Dim sw As StreamWriter
Try
   If (Not File.Exists(strFile)) Then
      sw = File.CreateText(strFile)
      sw.WriteLine("Start Error Log for today")
   Else
      sw = File.AppendText(strFile)
   End If
   sw.WriteLine("Error Message in  Occured at-- " & DateTime.Now)
   sw.Close()
Catch ex As IOException
   MsgBox("Error writing to log file.")
End Try

Note: When you catch exceptions, don't catch the base class Exception, catch only the ones that are releveant. In this case it would be the ones inheriting from IOException.

How do I add a ToolTip to a control?

ToolTip in C# is very easy to add to almost all UI controls. You don't need to add any MouseHover event for this.

This is how to do it-

  1. Add a ToolTip object to your form. One object is enough for the entire form. ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip();

  2. Add the control to the tooltip with the desired text.

    toolTip.SetToolTip(Button1,"Click here");

Dynamic constant assignment

Because constants in Ruby aren't meant to be changed, Ruby discourages you from assigning to them in parts of code which might get executed more than once, such as inside methods.

Under normal circumstances, you should define the constant inside the class itself:

class MyClass
  MY_CONSTANT = "foo"
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

If for some reason though you really do need to define a constant inside a method (perhaps for some type of metaprogramming), you can use const_set:

class MyClass
  def my_method
    self.class.const_set(:MY_CONSTANT, "foo")
  end
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT
#=> NameError: uninitialized constant MyClass::MY_CONSTANT

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

Again though, const_set isn't something you should really have to resort to under normal circumstances. If you're not sure whether you really want to be assigning to constants this way, you may want to consider one of the following alternatives:

Class variables

Class variables behave like constants in many ways. They are properties on a class, and they are accessible in subclasses of the class they are defined on.

The difference is that class variables are meant to be modifiable, and can therefore be assigned to inside methods with no issue.

class MyClass
  def self.my_class_variable
    @@my_class_variable
  end
  def my_method
    @@my_class_variable = "foo"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_variable
#=> NameError: uninitialized class variable @@my_class_variable in MyClass
SubClass.my_class_variable
#=> NameError: uninitialized class variable @@my_class_variable in MyClass

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass.my_class_variable #=> "foo"
SubClass.my_class_variable #=> "foo"

Class attributes

Class attributes are a sort of "instance variable on a class". They behave a bit like class variables, except that their values are not shared with subclasses.

class MyClass
  class << self
    attr_accessor :my_class_attribute
  end
  def my_method
    self.class.my_class_attribute = "blah"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

SubClass.new.my_method
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"

Instance variables

And just for completeness I should probably mention: if you need to assign a value which can only be determined after your class has been instantiated, there's a good chance you might actually be looking for a plain old instance variable.

class MyClass
  attr_accessor :instance_variable
  def my_method
    @instance_variable = "blah"
  end
end

my_object = MyClass.new
my_object.instance_variable #=> nil
my_object.my_method
my_object.instance_variable #=> "blah"

MyClass.new.instance_variable #=> nil

Does a finally block always get executed in Java?

The finally block is always executed unless there is abnormal program termination, either resulting from a JVM crash or from a call to System.exit(0).

On top of that, any value returned from within the finally block will override the value returned prior to execution of the finally block, so be careful of checking all exit points when using try finally.

Refresh (reload) a page once using jQuery?

For refreshing page with javascript, you can simply use:

location.reload();

How to reload / refresh model data from the server programmatically?

You're half way there on your own. To implement a refresh, you'd just wrap what you already have in a function on the scope:

function PersonListCtrl($scope, $http) {
  $scope.loadData = function () {
     $http.get('/persons').success(function(data) {
       $scope.persons = data;
     });
  };

  //initial load
  $scope.loadData();
}

then in your markup

<div ng-controller="PersonListCtrl">
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="person in persons">
            Name: {{person.name}}, Age {{person.age}}
        </li>
    </ul>
   <button ng-click="loadData()">Refresh</button>
</div>

As far as "accessing your model", all you'd need to do is access that $scope.persons array in your controller:

for example (just puedo code) in your controller:

$scope.addPerson = function() {
     $scope.persons.push({ name: 'Test Monkey' });
};

Then you could use that in your view or whatever you'd want to do.

Get Android .apk file VersionName or VersionCode WITHOUT installing apk

I can now successfully retrieve the version of an APK file from its binary XML data.

This topic is where I got the key to my answer (I also added my version of Ribo's code): How to parse the AndroidManifest.xml file inside an .apk package

Additionally, here's the XML parsing code I wrote, specifically to fetch the version:

XML Parsing

/**
 * Verifies at Conductor APK path if package version if newer

    try {

        if ((new File(conductorApkPath).exists())) {

            JarFile jf = new JarFile(conductorApkPath);
            InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(jf.getEntry("AndroidManifest.xml"));
            byte[] xml = new byte[is.available()];
            int br = is.read(xml);

            //Tree tr = TrunkFactory.newTree();
            String xmlResult = SystemPackageTools.decompressXML(xml);
            //prt("XML\n"+tr.list());

            if (!xmlResult.isEmpty()) {

                InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlResult.getBytes());

                XmlPullParser parser = Xml.newPullParser();
                parser.setFeature(XmlPullParser.FEATURE_PROCESS_NAMESPACES, false);

                parser.setInput(in, null);
                parser.nextTag();

                String name = parser.getName();
                if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("Manifest")) {

                    String pakVersion = parser.getAttributeValue(null, "versionName");
                            //NOTE: This is specific to my project. Replace with whatever is relevant on your side to fetch your project's version
                    String curVersion = SharedData.getPlayerVersion();

                    int isNewer = SystemPackageTools.compareVersions(pakVersion, curVersion); 

                    newVersionExists = (isNewer == 1); 
                }

            }
        }

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        android.util.Log.e(TAG, "getIntents, ex: "+ex);
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    return newVersionExists;
}

public static final int compareVersions(String ver1, String ver2) {

    String[] vals1 = ver1.split("\\.");
    String[] vals2 = ver2.split("\\.");
    int i=0;
    while(i<vals1.length&&i<vals2.length&&vals1[i].equals(vals2[i])) {
      i++;
    }

    if (i<vals1.length&&i<vals2.length) {
        int diff = Integer.valueOf(vals1[i]).compareTo(Integer.valueOf(vals2[i]));
        return diff<0?-1:diff==0?0:1;
    }

    return vals1.length<vals2.length?-1:vals1.length==vals2.length?0:1;
}

I hope this helps.

How to compare Boolean?

From your comments, it seems like you're looking for "best practices" for the use of the Boolean wrapper class. But there really aren't any best practices, because it's a bad idea to use this class to begin with. The only reason to use the object wrapper is in cases where you absolutely must (such as when using Generics, i.e., storing a boolean in a HashMap<String, Boolean> or the like). Using the object wrapper has no upsides and a lot of downsides, most notably that it opens you up to NullPointerExceptions.

Does it matter if '!' is used instead of .equals() for Boolean?

Both techniques will be susceptible to a NullPointerException, so it doesn't matter in that regard. In the first scenario, the Boolean will be unboxed into its respective boolean value and compared as normal. In the second scenario, you are invoking a method from the Boolean class, which is the following:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (obj instanceof Boolean) {
        return value == ((Boolean)obj).booleanValue();
    }
    return false;
}

Either way, the results are the same.

Would it matter if .equals(false) was used to check for the value of the Boolean checker?

Per above, no.

Secondary question: Should Boolean be dealt differently than boolean?

If you absolutely must use the Boolean class, always check for null before performing any comparisons. e.g.,

Map<String, Boolean> map = new HashMap<String, Boolean>();
//...stuff to populate the Map
Boolean value = map.get("someKey");
if(value != null && value) {
    //do stuff
}

This will work because Java short-circuits conditional evaluations. You can also use the ternary operator.

boolean easyToUseValue = value != null ? value : false;

But seriously... just use the primitive type, unless you're forced not to.

Could not commit JPA transaction: Transaction marked as rollbackOnly

For those who can't (or don't want to) setup a debugger to track down the original exception which was causing the rollback-flag to get set, you can just add a bunch of debug statements throughout your code to find the lines of code which trigger the rollback-only flag:

logger.debug("Is rollbackOnly: " + TransactionAspectSupport.currentTransactionStatus().isRollbackOnly());

Adding this throughout the code allowed me to narrow down the root cause, by numbering the debug statements and looking to see where the above method goes from returning "false" to "true".

eval command in Bash and its typical uses

The eval statement tells the shell to take eval’s arguments as command and run them through the command-line. It is useful in a situation like below:

In your script if you are defining a command into a variable and later on you want to use that command then you should use eval:

/home/user1 > a="ls | more"
/home/user1 > $a
bash: command not found: ls | more
/home/user1 > # Above command didn't work as ls tried to list file with name pipe (|) and more. But these files are not there
/home/user1 > eval $a
file.txt
mailids
remote_cmd.sh
sample.txt
tmp
/home/user1 >

Access parent's parent from javascript object

Here you go:

var life={
        users:{
             guys:function(){ life.mameAndDestroy(life.users.girls); },
             girls:function(){ life.kiss(life.users.guys); }
        },
        mameAndDestroy : function(group){ 
          alert("mameAndDestroy");
          group();
        },
        kiss : function(group){
          alert("kiss");
          //could call group() here, but would result in infinite loop
        }
};

life.users.guys();
life.users.girls();

Also, make sure you don't have a comma after the "girls" definition. This will cause the script to crash in IE (any time you have a comma after the last item in an array in IE it dies).

Convert NSArray to NSString in Objective-C

The way I know is easy.

var NSArray_variable = NSArray_Object[n]
var stringVarible = NSArray_variable as String

n is the inner position in the array This in SWIFT Language. It might work in Objective C

How to create an android app using HTML 5

When people talk about HTML5 applications they're most likely talking about writing just a simple web page or embedding a web page into their app (which will essentially provide the user interface). For the later there are different frameworks available, e.g. PhoneGap. These are used to provide more than the default browser features (e.g. multi touch) as well as allowing the app to run seamingly "standalone" and without the browser's navigation bars etc.

How to set an image as a background for Frame in Swing GUI of java?

There is no concept of a "background image" in a JPanel, so one would have to write their own way to implement such a feature.

One way to achieve this would be to override the paintComponent method to draw a background image on each time the JPanel is refreshed.

For example, one would subclass a JPanel, and add a field to hold the background image, and override the paintComponent method:

public class JPanelWithBackground extends JPanel {

  private Image backgroundImage;

  // Some code to initialize the background image.
  // Here, we use the constructor to load the image. This
  // can vary depending on the use case of the panel.
  public JPanelWithBackground(String fileName) throws IOException {
    backgroundImage = ImageIO.read(new File(fileName));
  }

  public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);

    // Draw the background image.
    g.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0, this);
  }
}

(Above code has not been tested.)

The following code could be used to add the JPanelWithBackground into a JFrame:

JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().add(new JPanelWithBackground("sample.jpeg"));

In this example, the ImageIO.read(File) method was used to read in the external JPEG file.

What is a mixin, and why are they useful?

I think there have been some good explanations here but I wanted to provide another perspective.

In Scala, you can do mixins as has been described here but what is very interesting is that the mixins are actually 'fused' together to create a new kind of class to inherit from. In essence, you do not inherit from multiple classes/mixins, but rather, generate a new kind of class with all the properties of the mixin to inherit from. This makes sense since Scala is based on the JVM where multiple-inheritance is not currently supported (as of Java 8). This mixin class type, by the way, is a special type called a Trait in Scala.

It's hinted at in the way a class is defined: class NewClass extends FirstMixin with SecondMixin with ThirdMixin ...

I'm not sure if the CPython interpreter does the same (mixin class-composition) but I wouldn't be surprised. Also, coming from a C++ background, I would not call an ABC or 'interface' equivalent to a mixin -- it's a similar concept but divergent in use and implementation.

How to get last N records with activerecord?

I find that this query is better/faster for using the "pluck" method, which I love:

Challenge.limit(5).order('id desc')

This gives an ActiveRecord as the output; so you can use .pluck on it like this:

Challenge.limit(5).order('id desc').pluck(:id)

which quickly gives the ids as an array while using optimal SQL code.

Volatile Vs Atomic

Volatile and Atomic are two different concepts. Volatile ensures, that a certain, expected (memory) state is true across different threads, while Atomics ensure that operation on variables are performed atomically.

Take the following example of two threads in Java:

Thread A:

value = 1;
done = true;

Thread B:

if (done)
  System.out.println(value);

Starting with value = 0 and done = false the rule of threading tells us, that it is undefined whether or not Thread B will print value. Furthermore value is undefined at that point as well! To explain this you need to know a bit about Java memory management (which can be complex), in short: Threads may create local copies of variables, and the JVM can reorder code to optimize it, therefore there is no guarantee that the above code is run in exactly that order. Setting done to true and then setting value to 1 could be a possible outcome of the JIT optimizations.

volatile only ensures, that at the moment of access of such a variable, the new value will be immediately visible to all other threads and the order of execution ensures, that the code is at the state you would expect it to be. So in case of the code above, defining done as volatile will ensure that whenever Thread B checks the variable, it is either false, or true, and if it is true, then value has been set to 1 as well.

As a side-effect of volatile, the value of such a variable is set thread-wide atomically (at a very minor cost of execution speed). This is however only important on 32-bit systems that i.E. use long (64-bit) variables (or similar), in most other cases setting/reading a variable is atomic anyways. But there is an important difference between an atomic access and an atomic operation. Volatile only ensures that the access is atomically, while Atomics ensure that the operation is atomically.

Take the following example:

i = i + 1;

No matter how you define i, a different Thread reading the value just when the above line is executed might get i, or i + 1, because the operation is not atomically. If the other thread sets i to a different value, in worst case i could be set back to whatever it was before by thread A, because it was just in the middle of calculating i + 1 based on the old value, and then set i again to that old value + 1. Explanation:

Assume i = 0
Thread A reads i, calculates i+1, which is 1
Thread B sets i to 1000 and returns
Thread A now sets i to the result of the operation, which is i = 1

Atomics like AtomicInteger ensure, that such operations happen atomically. So the above issue cannot happen, i would either be 1000 or 1001 once both threads are finished.

Why is there no xrange function in Python3?

Python 3's range type works just like Python 2's xrange. I'm not sure why you're seeing a slowdown, since the iterator returned by your xrange function is exactly what you'd get if you iterated over range directly.

I'm not able to reproduce the slowdown on my system. Here's how I tested:

Python 2, with xrange:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit("[x for x in xrange(1000000) if x%4]",number=100)
18.631936646865853

Python 3, with range is a tiny bit faster:

Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:57:17) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit("[x for x in range(1000000) if x%4]",number=100)
17.31399508687869

I recently learned that Python 3's range type has some other neat features, such as support for slicing: range(10,100,2)[5:25:5] is range(20, 60, 10)!

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"", local:"Group")

You need to put package-info.java class in package of contextPath and put below code in same class:

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(namespace = "https://www.namespaceUrl.com/xml/", elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)
package com.test.valueobject;

nuget 'packages' element is not declared warning

Actually the correct answer to this is to just add the schema to your document, like so

<packages xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">

...and you're done :)

If the XSD is not already cached and unavailable, you can add it as follows from the NuGet console

Install-Package NuGet.Manifest.Schema -Version 2.0.0

Once this is done, as noted in a comment below, you may want to move it from your current folder to the official schema folder that is found in

%VisualStudioPath%\Xml\Schemas

Log4j, configuring a Web App to use a relative path

In case you're using Maven I have a great solution for you:

  1. Edit your pom.xml file to include following lines:

    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>linux</id>
            <activation>
                <os>
                    <family>unix</family>
                </os>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <logDirectory>/var/log/tomcat6</logDirectory>
            </properties>
        </profile>
        <profile>
            <id>windows</id>
            <activation>
                <os>
                    <family>windows</family>
                </os>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <logDirectory>${catalina.home}/logs</logDirectory>
            </properties>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
    

    Here you define logDirectory property specifically to OS family.

  2. Use already defined logDirectory property in log4j.properties file:

    log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.FILE.File=${logDirectory}/mylog.log
    log4j.appender.FILE.MaxFileSize=30MB
    log4j.appender.FILE.MaxBackupIndex=10
    log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%x] %-5p [%t] [%c{1}] %m%n
    
  3. That's it!

P.S.: I'm sure this can be achieved using Ant but unfortunately I don't have enough experience with it.

Iterate through 2 dimensional array

Consider it as an array of arrays and this will work for sure.

int mat[][] = { {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90},
                {15, 25, 35, 45},
                {27, 29, 37, 48},
                {32, 33, 39, 50, 51, 89},
              };


    for(int i=0; i<mat.length; i++) {
        for(int j=0; j<mat[i].length; j++) {
            System.out.println("Values at arr["+i+"]["+j+"] is "+mat[i][j]);
        }
    }

How to split a string and assign it to variables

The IPv6 addresses for fields like RemoteAddr from http.Request are formatted as "[::1]:53343"

So net.SplitHostPort works great:

package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "net"
    )

    func main() {
        host1, port, err := net.SplitHostPort("127.0.0.1:5432")
        fmt.Println(host1, port, err)

        host2, port, err := net.SplitHostPort("[::1]:2345")
        fmt.Println(host2, port, err)

        host3, port, err := net.SplitHostPort("localhost:1234")
        fmt.Println(host3, port, err)
    }

Output is:

127.0.0.1 5432 <nil>
::1 2345 <nil>
localhost 1234 <nil>

How to add,set and get Header in request of HttpClient?

You can use HttpPost, there are methods to add Header to the Request.

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String url = "http://localhost";
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

httpPost.addHeader("header-name" , "header-value");

HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpPost);

Authentication versus Authorization

I prefer Verification and Permissions to Authentication and Authorization.

It is easier in my head and in my code to think of "verification" and "permissions" because the two words

  • don't sound alike
  • don't have the same abbreviation

Authentication is verification and Authorization is checking permission(s). Auth can mean either, but is used more often as "User Auth" i.e. "User Authentication"

How to use OpenFileDialog to select a folder?

Strange that so much answers/votes, but no one add the following code as an answer:

using (var opnDlg = new OpenFileDialog()) //ANY dialog
{ 
    //opnDlg.Filter = "Png Files (*.png)|*.png";
    //opnDlg.Filter = "Excel Files (*.xls, *.xlsx)|*.xls;*.xlsx|CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv"

    if (opnDlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        //opnDlg.SelectedPath -- your result
    }
}

How to implement __iter__(self) for a container object (Python)

example for inhert from dict, modify its iter, for example, skip key 2 when in for loop

# method 1
class Dict(dict):
    def __iter__(self):
        keys = self.keys()
        for i in keys:
            if i == 2:
                continue
            yield i

# method 2
class Dict(dict):
    def __iter__(self):
        for i in super(Dict, self).__iter__():
            if i == 2:
                continue
            yield i

Remove CSS from a Div using JQuery

I used the second solution of user147767

However, there is a typo here. It should be

curCssName.toUpperCase().indexOf(cssName.toUpperCase() + ':') < 0

not <= 0

I also changed this condition for:

!curCssName.match(new RegExp(cssName + "(-.+)?:"), "mi")

as sometimes we add a css property over jQuery, and it's added in a different way for different browsers (i.e. the border property will be added as "border" for Firefox, and "border-top", "border-bottom" etc for IE).

Remove an item from a dictionary when its key is unknown

items() returns a list, and it is that list you are iterating, so mutating the dict in the loop doesn't matter here. If you were using iteritems() instead, mutating the dict in the loop would be problematic, and likewise for viewitems() in Python 2.7.

I can't think of a better way to remove items from a dict by value.

Why won't my PHP app send a 404 error?

If you want to show the server’s default 404 page, you can load it in a frame like this:

echo '<iframe src="/something-bogus" width="100%" height="100%" frameBorder="0" border="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>';

Download a specific tag with Git

I do this is via the github API:

curl -H "Authorization: token %(access_token)s" -sL -o /tmp/repo.tar.gz "http://api.github.com/repos/%(organisation)s/%(repo)s/tarball/%(tag)s" ;\
tar xfz /tmp/repo.tar.gz -C /tmp/repo --strip-components=1 ; \

How do I flush the PRINT buffer in TSQL?

Just for the reference, if you work in scripts (batch processing), not in stored procedure, flushing output is triggered by the GO command, e.g.

print 'test'
print 'test'
go

In general, my conclusion is following: output of mssql script execution, executing in SMS GUI or with sqlcmd.exe, is flushed to file, stdoutput, gui window on first GO statement or until the end of the script.

Flushing inside of stored procedure functions differently, since you can not place GO inside.

Reference: tsql Go statement

Create iOS Home Screen Shortcuts on Chrome for iOS

The is no API for adding a shortcut to the home screen in iOS, so no third-party browser is capable of providing that functionality.

Pure JavaScript: a function like jQuery's isNumeric()

function IsNumeric(val) {
    return Number(parseFloat(val)) === val;
}

Play sound file in a web-page in the background

With me the problem was solved by removing the type attribute:

<embed name="myMusic" loop="true" hidden="true" src="Music.mp3"></embed>

Cerntainly not the cleanest way.

If you're using HTML5: MP3 isn't supported by Firefox. Wav and Ogg are though. Here you can find an overview of which browser support which type of audio: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp

How do I resolve git saying "Commit your changes or stash them before you can merge"?

You can't merge with local modifications. Git protects you from losing potentially important changes.

You have three options:

  • Commit the change using

    git commit -m "My message"
    
  • Stash it.

    Stashing acts as a stack, where you can push changes, and you pop them in reverse order.

    To stash, type

    git stash
    

    Do the merge, and then pull the stash:

    git stash pop
    
  • Discard the local changes

    using git reset --hard
    or git checkout -t -f remote/branch

    Or: Discard local changes for a specific file

    using git checkout filename

Which loop is faster, while or for?

I used a for and while loop on a solid test machine (no non-standard 3rd party background processes running). I ran a for loop vs while loop as it relates to changing the style property of 10,000 <button> nodes.

The test is was run consecutively 10 times, with 1 run timed out for 1500 milliseconds before execution:

Here is the very simple javascript I made for this purpose

function runPerfTest() {
    "use strict";

    function perfTest(fn, ns) {
        console.time(ns);
        fn();
        console.timeEnd(ns);
    }

    var target = document.getElementsByTagName('button');

    function whileDisplayNone() {
        var x = 0;
        while (target.length > x) {
            target[x].style.display = 'none';
            x++;
        }
    }

    function forLoopDisplayNone() {
        for (var i = 0; i < target.length; i++) {
            target[i].style.display = 'none';
        }
    }

    function reset() {
        for (var i = 0; i < target.length; i++) {
            target[i].style.display = 'inline-block';
        }
    }

    perfTest(function() {
        whileDisplayNone();
    }, 'whileDisplayNone');

    reset();

    perfTest(function() {
        forLoopDisplayNone();
    }, 'forLoopDisplayNone');

    reset();
};

$(function(){
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    setTimeout(function(){
        console.log('cool run');
        runPerfTest();
    }, 1500);
});

Here are the results I got

Update

A separate test I have conducted is located below, which implements 2 differently written factorial algorithms, 1 using a for loop, the other using a while loop.

Here is the code:

function runPerfTest() {
    "use strict";

    function perfTest(fn, ns) {
        console.time(ns);
        fn();
        console.timeEnd(ns);
    }

    function whileFactorial(num) {
        if (num < 0) {
            return -1;
        }
        else if (num === 0) {
            return 1;
        }
        var factl = num;
        while (num-- > 2) {
            factl *= num;
        }
        return factl;
    }

    function forFactorial(num) {
        var factl = 1;
        for (var cur = 1; cur <= num; cur++) {
            factl *= cur;
        }
        return factl;
    }

    perfTest(function(){
        console.log('Result (100000):'+forFactorial(80));
    }, 'forFactorial100');

    perfTest(function(){
        console.log('Result (100000):'+whileFactorial(80));
    }, 'whileFactorial100');
};

(function(){
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    runPerfTest();
    console.log('cold run @1500ms timeout:');
    setTimeout(runPerfTest, 1500);
})();

And the results for the factorial benchmark:

Conclusion: No matter the sample size or specific task type tested, there is no clear winner in terms of performance between a while and for loop. Testing done on a MacAir with OS X Mavericks on Chrome evergreen.

Angular 2 Show and Hide an element

There are two options depending what you want to achieve :

  1. You can use the hidden directive to show or hide an element

    <div [hidden]="!edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert">
      <strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
    </div>
    
  2. You can use the ngIf control directive to add or remove the element. This is different of the hidden directive because it does not show / hide the element, but it add / remove from the DOM. You can loose unsaved data of the element. It can be the better choice for an edit component that is cancelled.

    <div *ngIf="edited" class="alert alert-success box-msg" role="alert"> 
      <strong>List Saved!</strong> Your changes has been saved.
    </div>
    

For you problem of change after 3 seconds, it can be due to incompatibility with setTimeout. Did you include angular2-polyfills.js library in your page ?

Any way to return PHP `json_encode` with encode UTF-8 and not Unicode?

This function found here, works fine for me

function jsonRemoveUnicodeSequences($struct) {
   return preg_replace("/\\\\u([a-f0-9]{4})/e", "iconv('UCS-4LE','UTF-8',pack('V', hexdec('U$1')))", json_encode($struct));
}

C# DateTime to "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format

It is not a big deal. you can simply put like this

WriteLine($"{DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH:mm:ss")}");

Excuse here for I used $ which is for string Interpolation .

Delete all nodes and relationships in neo4j 1.8

Neo4j cannot delete nodes that have a relation. You have to delete the relations before you can delete the nodes.

But, it is simple way to delete "ALL" nodes and "ALL" relationships with a simple chyper. This is the code:

MATCH (n) DETACH DELETE n

--> DETACH DELETE will remove all of the nodes and relations by Match

How do you get a list of the names of all files present in a directory in Node.js?

Use npm list-contents module. It reads the contents and sub-contents of the given directory and returns the list of files' and folders' paths.

const list = require('list-contents');

list("./dist",(o)=>{
  if(o.error) throw o.error;
   console.log('Folders: ', o.dirs);
   console.log('Files: ', o.files);
});

How to get child element by class name?

Here is how I did it using the YUI selectors. Thanks to Hank Gay's suggestion.

notes = YAHOO.util.Dom.getElementsByClassName('four','span','test');

where four = classname, span = the element type/tag name, and test = the parent id.

Encoding URL query parameters in Java

String param="2019-07-18 19:29:37";

How Do I Convert an Integer to a String in Excel VBA?

If the string you're pulling in happens to be a hex number such as E01, then Excel will translate it as 0 even if you use the CStr function, and even if you first deposit it in a String variable type. One way around the issue is to append ' to the beginning of the value.

For example, when pulling values out of a Word table, and bringing them to Excel:

strWr = "'" & WorksheetFunction.Clean(.cell(iRow, iCol).Range.Text)

What is the difference between `sorted(list)` vs `list.sort()`?

Note: Simplest difference between sort() and sorted() is: sort() doesn't return any value while, sorted() returns an iterable list.

sort() doesn't return any value.

The sort() method just sorts the elements of a given list in a specific order - Ascending or Descending without returning any value.

The syntax of sort() method is:

list.sort(key=..., reverse=...)

Alternatively, you can also use Python's in-built function sorted() for the same purpose. sorted function return sorted list

 list=sorted(list, key=..., reverse=...)

Or this

-(void) didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation

Radio Buttons "Checked" Attribute Not Working

The jQuery documentation provides a detailed explanation for checked property vs attribute.

Accordingly, here is another way to retrieve selected radio button value

var accepted = $('input[name="Contact0_AmericanExpress"]:checked').val();

"Rate This App"-link in Google Play store app on the phone

A point regarding all the answers that have implementations based on the getPackageName() strategy is that using BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID may be more straight forward and works well if you use the same code base to build multiple apps with different app ids (for example, a white label product).

Proper way to handle multiple forms on one page in Django

This is a bit late, but this is the best solution I found. You make a look-up dictionary for the form name and its class, you also have to add an attribute to identify the form, and in your views you have to add it as a hidden field, with the form.formlabel.

# form holder
form_holder = {
    'majeur': {
        'class': FormClass1,
    },
    'majsoft': {
        'class': FormClass2,
    },
    'tiers1': {
        'class': FormClass3,
    },
    'tiers2': {
        'class': FormClass4,
    },
    'tiers3': {
        'class': FormClass5,
    },
    'tiers4': {
        'class': FormClass6,
    },
}

for key in form_holder.keys():
    # If the key is the same as the formlabel, we should use the posted data
    if request.POST.get('formlabel', None) == key:
        # Get the form and initate it with the sent data
        form = form_holder.get(key).get('class')(
            data=request.POST
        )

        # Validate the form
        if form.is_valid():
            # Correct data entries
            messages.info(request, _(u"Configuration validée."))

            if form.save():
                # Save succeeded
                messages.success(
                    request,
                    _(u"Données enregistrées avec succès.")
                )
            else:
                # Save failed
                messages.warning(
                    request,
                    _(u"Un problème est survenu pendant l'enregistrement "
                      u"des données, merci de réessayer plus tard.")
                )
        else:
            # Form is not valid, show feedback to the user
            messages.error(
                request,
                _(u"Merci de corriger les erreurs suivantes.")
            )
    else:
        # Just initiate the form without data
        form = form_holder.get(key).get('class')(key)()

    # Add the attribute for the name
    setattr(form, 'formlabel', key)

    # Append it to the tempalte variable that will hold all the forms
    forms.append(form)

I hope this will help in the future.

How to split a python string on new line characters

? Splitting line in Python:

Have you tried using str.splitlines() method?:

From the docs:

str.splitlines([keepends])

Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries. Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless keepends is given and true.

For example:

>>> 'Line 1\n\nLine 3\rLine 4\r\n'.splitlines()
['Line 1', '', 'Line 3', 'Line 4']

>>> 'Line 1\n\nLine 3\rLine 4\r\n'.splitlines(True)
['Line 1\n', '\n', 'Line 3\r', 'Line 4\r\n']

Which delimiters are considered?

This method uses the universal newlines approach to splitting lines.

The main difference between Python 2.X and Python 3.X is that the former uses the universal newlines approach to splitting lines, so "\r", "\n", and "\r\n" are considered line boundaries for 8-bit strings, while the latter uses a superset of it that also includes:

  • \v or \x0b: Line Tabulation (added in Python 3.2).
  • \f or \x0c: Form Feed (added in Python 3.2).
  • \x1c: File Separator.
  • \x1d: Group Separator.
  • \x1e: Record Separator.
  • \x85: Next Line (C1 Control Code).
  • \u2028: Line Separator.
  • \u2029: Paragraph Separator.

splitlines VS split:

Unlike str.split() when a delimiter string sep is given, this method returns an empty list for the empty string, and a terminal line break does not result in an extra line:

>>> ''.splitlines()
[]

>>> 'Line 1\n'.splitlines()
['Line 1']

While str.split('\n') returns:

>>> ''.split('\n')
['']

>>> 'Line 1\n'.split('\n')
['Line 1', '']

?? Removing additional whitespace:

If you also need to remove additional leading or trailing whitespace, like spaces, that are ignored by str.splitlines(), you could use str.splitlines() together with str.strip():

>>> [str.strip() for str in 'Line 1  \n  \nLine 3 \rLine 4 \r\n'.splitlines()]
['Line 1', '', 'Line 3', 'Line 4']

? Removing empty strings (''):

Lastly, if you want to filter out the empty strings from the resulting list, you could use filter():

>>> # Python 2.X:
>>> filter(bool, 'Line 1\n\nLine 3\rLine 4\r\n'.splitlines())
['Line 1', 'Line 3', 'Line 4']

>>> # Python 3.X:
>>> list(filter(bool, 'Line 1\n\nLine 3\rLine 4\r\n'.splitlines()))
['Line 1', 'Line 3', 'Line 4']

Additional comment regarding the original question:

As the error you posted indicates and Burhan suggested, the problem is from the print. There's a related question about that could be useful to you: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode - character maps to <undefined>, print function

Timeout jQuery effects

I just figured it out below:

$(".notice")
   .fadeIn( function() 
   {
      setTimeout( function()
      {
         $(".notice").fadeOut("fast");
      }, 2000);
   });

I will keep the post for other users!

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

After Windows 10 XAMPP now I installed LAMPP (XAMPP) on Ubuntu. Windows XAMPP had a lot less to configure compare to MAC (iOS) but now with Linux Ubuntu I had a few more since there are more going in Linux (a good thing).

I confused and activated mysqli.dll (and mysql.dll: erase "#" in /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini

I started to get the PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library message related to dll. I commented out mysql(and i).dll in the same file but the message didn't go away up until I commented out " " in /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini.

Looks like XAMPP reads php.ini file from /etc/php/7.2/cli and makes modification in php.ini of /opt/lampp/etc. (;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll after ";" restarted Apache and no more any message.

J2ME/Android/BlackBerry - driving directions, route between two locations

J2ME Map Route Provider

maps.google.com has a navigation service which can provide you route information in KML format.

To get kml file we need to form url with start and destination locations:

public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
                            double toLat, double toLon) {// connect to map web service
    StringBuffer urlString = new StringBuffer();
    urlString.append("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en");
    urlString.append("&saddr=");// from
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLon));
    urlString.append("&daddr=");// to
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(toLon));
    urlString.append("&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=kml");
    return urlString.toString();
}

Next you will need to parse xml (implemented with SAXParser) and fill data structures:

public class Point {
    String mName;
    String mDescription;
    String mIconUrl;
    double mLatitude;
    double mLongitude;
}

public class Road {
    public String mName;
    public String mDescription;
    public int mColor;
    public int mWidth;
    public double[][] mRoute = new double[][] {};
    public Point[] mPoints = new Point[] {};
}

Network connection is implemented in different ways on Android and Blackberry, so you will have to first form url:

 public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon,
     double toLat, double toLon)

then create connection with this url and get InputStream.
Then pass this InputStream and get parsed data structure:

 public static Road getRoute(InputStream is) 

Full source code RoadProvider.java

class MapPathScreen extends MainScreen {
    MapControl map;
    Road mRoad = new Road();
    public MapPathScreen() {

        double toLat = 50.45, toLon = 30.523333;
        String url = RoadProvider.getUrl(fromLat, fromLon, toLat, toLon);
        InputStream is = getConnection(url);
        mRoad = RoadProvider.getRoute(is);
        map = new MapControl();
        add(new LabelField(mRoad.mName));
        add(new LabelField(mRoad.mDescription));
        add(map);
    }
    protected void onUiEngineAttached(boolean attached) {
        super.onUiEngineAttached(attached);
        if (attached) {
            map.drawPath(mRoad);
        }
    }
    private InputStream getConnection(String url) {
        HttpConnection urlConnection = null;
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
            urlConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
            urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            is = urlConnection.openInputStream();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return is;

Transposing a 1D NumPy array

I am just consolidating the above post, hope it will help others to save some time:

The below array has (2, )dimension, it's a 1-D array,

b_new = np.array([2j, 3j])  

There are two ways to transpose a 1-D array:


slice it with "np.newaxis" or none.!

print(b_new[np.newaxis].T.shape)
print(b_new[None].T.shape)

other way of writing, the above without T operation.!

print(b_new[:, np.newaxis].shape)
print(b_new[:, None].shape)

Wrapping [ ] or using np.matrix, means adding a new dimension.!

print(np.array([b_new]).T.shape)
print(np.matrix(b_new).T.shape)

Get selected value of a dropdown's item using jQuery

You can do this by using following code.

If you want to get the selected value from the select list`s options. This will do the trick.

$('#dropDownId option:selected').text();

Pip Install not installing into correct directory?

You could just change the shebang line. I do this all the time on new systems.

If you want pip to install to a current version of Python installed just update the shebang line to the correct version of pythons path.

For example, to change pip (not pip3) to install to Python 3:

#!/usr/bin/python

To:

#!/usr/bin/python3

Any module you install using pip should install to Python not Python.

Or you could just change the path.

Python Function to test ping

It looks like you want the return keyword

def check_ping():
    hostname = "taylor"
    response = os.system("ping -c 1 " + hostname)
    # and then check the response...
    if response == 0:
        pingstatus = "Network Active"
    else:
        pingstatus = "Network Error"

    return pingstatus

You need to capture/'receive' the return value of the function(pingstatus) in a variable with something like:

pingstatus = check_ping()

NOTE: ping -c is for Linux, for Windows use ping -n

Some info on python functions:

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_functions.htm

http://www.learnpython.org/en/Functions

It's probably worth going through a good introductory tutorial to Python, which will cover all the fundamentals. I recommend investigating Udacity.com and codeacademy.com

How I can check whether a page is loaded completely or not in web driver?

Selenium does it for you. Or at least it tries its best. Sometimes it falls short, and you must help it a little bit. The usual solution is Implicit Wait which solves most of the problems.

If you really know what you're doing, and why you're doing it, you could try to write a generic method which would check whether the page is completely loaded. However, it can't be done for every web and for every situation.


Related question: Selenium WebDriver : Wait for complex page with JavaScript(JS) to load, see my answer there.

Shorter version: You'll never be sure.

The "normal" load is easy - document.readyState. This one is implemented by Selenium, of course. The problematic thing are asynchronous requests, AJAX, because you can never tell whether it's done for good or not. Most of today's webpages have scripts that run forever and poll the server all the time.

The various things you could do are under the link above. Or, like 95% of other people, use Implicit Wait implicity and Explicit Wait + ExpectedConditions where needed.

E.g. after a click, some element on the page should become visible and you need to wait for it:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);  // you can reuse this one

WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.id("myInvisibleElement"));
elem.click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(elem));

What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?

There is one more stacktrace feature offered by Throwable family - the possibility to manipulate stack trace information.

Standard behavior:

package test.stack.trace;

public class SomeClass {

    public void methodA() {
        methodB();
    }

    public void methodB() {
        methodC();
    }

    public void methodC() {
        throw new RuntimeException();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SomeClass().methodA();
    }
}

Stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
    at test.stack.trace.SomeClass.methodC(SomeClass.java:18)
    at test.stack.trace.SomeClass.methodB(SomeClass.java:13)
    at test.stack.trace.SomeClass.methodA(SomeClass.java:9)
    at test.stack.trace.SomeClass.main(SomeClass.java:27)

Manipulated stack trace:

package test.stack.trace;

public class SomeClass {

    ...

    public void methodC() {
        RuntimeException e = new RuntimeException();
        e.setStackTrace(new StackTraceElement[]{
                new StackTraceElement("OtherClass", "methodX", "String.java", 99),
                new StackTraceElement("OtherClass", "methodY", "String.java", 55)
        });
        throw e;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SomeClass().methodA();
    }
}

Stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
    at OtherClass.methodX(String.java:99)
    at OtherClass.methodY(String.java:55)

Freeing up a TCP/IP port?

As the others have said, you'll have to kill all processes that are listening on that port. The easiest way to do that would be to use the fuser(1) command. For example, to see all of the processes listening for http requests on port 80 (run as root or use sudo):

# fuser 80/tcp

If you want to kill them, then just add the -k option.

Apply jQuery datepicker to multiple instances

When adding datepicker at runtime generated input textboxes you have to check if it already contains datepicker then first remove class hasDatepicker then apply datePicker to it.

function convertTxtToDate() {
        $('.dateTxt').each(function () {
            if ($(this).hasClass('hasDatepicker')) {
                $(this).removeClass('hasDatepicker');
            } 
             $(this).datepicker();
        });
    } 

403 Access Denied on Tomcat 8 Manager App without prompting for user/password

If non of above works for you, make sure tomcat has access to manager folder under webapps (chown ...). The message is the exact same message, and It took me 2 hours to figure out the problem. :-)

just for someone else who came here for the same issue as me.

How to "fadeOut" & "remove" a div in jQuery?

Configuring so that pip install can work from github

I had similar issue when I had to install from github repo, but did not want to install git , etc.

The simple way to do it is using zip archive of the package. Add /zipball/master to the repo URL:

    $ pip install https://github.com/hmarr/django-debug-toolbar-mongo/zipball/master
Downloading/unpacking https://github.com/hmarr/django-debug-toolbar-mongo/zipball/master
  Downloading master
  Running setup.py egg_info for package from https://github.com/hmarr/django-debug-toolbar-mongo/zipball/master
Installing collected packages: django-debug-toolbar-mongo
  Running setup.py install for django-debug-toolbar-mongo
Successfully installed django-debug-toolbar-mongo
Cleaning up...

This way you will make pip work with github source repositories.

How to run a Python script in the background even after I logout SSH?

You can also use Yapdi:

Basic usage:

import yapdi

daemon = yapdi.Daemon()
retcode = daemon.daemonize()

# This would run in daemon mode; output is not visible
if retcode == yapdi.OPERATION_SUCCESSFUL:
print('Hello Daemon')

LINQ to SQL Left Outer Join

I'd like to add one more thing. In LINQ to SQL if your DB is properly built and your tables are related through foreign key constraints, then you do not need to do a join at all.

Using LINQPad I created the following LINQ query:

//Querying from both the CustomerInfo table and OrderInfo table
from cust in CustomerInfo
where cust.CustomerID == 123456
select new {cust, cust.OrderInfo}

Which was translated to the (slightly truncated) query below

 -- Region Parameters
 DECLARE @p0 Int = 123456
-- EndRegion
SELECT [t0].[CustomerID], [t0].[AlternateCustomerID],  [t1].[OrderID], [t1].[OnlineOrderID], (
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM [OrderInfo] AS [t2]
    WHERE [t2].[CustomerID] = [t0].[CustomerID]
    ) AS [value]
FROM [CustomerInfo] AS [t0]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [OrderInfo] AS [t1] ON [t1].[CustomerID] = [t0].[CustomerID]
WHERE [t0].[CustomerID] = @p0
ORDER BY [t0].[CustomerID], [t1].[OrderID]

Notice the LEFT OUTER JOIN above.

What is the proper use of an EventEmitter?

Yes, go ahead and use it.

EventEmitter is a public, documented type in the final Angular Core API. Whether or not it is based on Observable is irrelevant; if its documented emit and subscribe methods suit what you need, then go ahead and use it.

As also stated in the docs:

Uses Rx.Observable but provides an adapter to make it work as specified here: https://github.com/jhusain/observable-spec

Once a reference implementation of the spec is available, switch to it.

So they wanted an Observable like object that behaved in a certain way, they implemented it, and made it public. If it were merely an internal Angular abstraction that shouldn't be used, they wouldn't have made it public.

There are plenty of times when it's useful to have an emitter which sends events of a specific type. If that's your use case, go for it. If/when a reference implementation of the spec they link to is available, it should be a drop-in replacement, just as with any other polyfill.

Just be sure that the generator you pass to the subscribe() function follows the linked spec. The returned object is guaranteed to have an unsubscribe method which should be called to free any references to the generator (this is currently an RxJs Subscription object but that is indeed an implementation detail which should not be depended on).

export class MyServiceEvent {
    message: string;
    eventId: number;
}

export class MyService {
    public onChange: EventEmitter<MyServiceEvent> = new EventEmitter<MyServiceEvent>();

    public doSomething(message: string) {
        // do something, then...
        this.onChange.emit({message: message, eventId: 42});
    }
}

export class MyConsumer {
    private _serviceSubscription;

    constructor(private service: MyService) {
        this._serviceSubscription = this.service.onChange.subscribe({
            next: (event: MyServiceEvent) => {
                console.log(`Received message #${event.eventId}: ${event.message}`);
            }
        })
    }

    public consume() {
        // do some stuff, then later...

        this.cleanup();
    }

    private cleanup() {
        this._serviceSubscription.unsubscribe();
    }
}

All of the strongly-worded doom and gloom predictions seem to stem from a single Stack Overflow comment from a single developer on a pre-release version of Angular 2.

How to convert integers to characters in C?

void main ()
 {
    int temp,integer,count=0,i,cnd=0;
    char ascii[10]={0};
    printf("enter a number");
    scanf("%d",&integer);
     if(integer>>31)
     {
     /*CONVERTING 2's complement value to normal value*/    
     integer=~integer+1;    
     for(temp=integer;temp!=0;temp/=10,count++);    
     ascii[0]=0x2D;
     count++;
     cnd=1;
     }
     else
     for(temp=integer;temp!=0;temp/=10,count++);    
     for(i=count-1,temp=integer;i>=cnd;i--)
     {

        ascii[i]=(temp%10)+0x30;
        temp/=10;
     }
    printf("\n count =%d ascii=%s ",count,ascii);

 }

MySQL Error: : 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

All solutions I found were much more complex than necessary and none worked for me. Here is the solution that solved my problem. No need to restart mysqld or start it with special privileges.

sudo mysql

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';

With a single query we are changing the auth_plugin to mysql_native_password and setting the root password to root (feel free to change it in the query)

Now you should be able to login with root. More information can be found in mysql documentation

(exit mysql console with Ctrl + D or by typing exit)

How to draw an overlay on a SurfaceView used by Camera on Android?

Try calling setWillNotDraw(false) from surfaceCreated:

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    try {
        setWillNotDraw(false); 
        mycam.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
        mycam.startPreview();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Log.d(TAG,"Surface not created");
    }
}

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

    canvas.drawRect(area, rectanglePaint);
    Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "On Draw Called");
}

and calling invalidate from onTouchEvent:

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

    invalidate();
    return true;
}

CSS pseudo elements in React

Got a reply from @Vjeux over at the React team:

Normal HTML/CSS:

<div class="something"><span>Something</span></div>
<style>
    .something::after {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    -webkit-filter: blur(10px) saturate(2);
}
</style>

React with inline style:

render: function() {
    return (
        <div>
          <span>Something</span>
          <div style={{position: 'absolute', WebkitFilter: 'blur(10px) saturate(2)'}} />
        </div>
    );
},

The trick is that instead of using ::after in CSS in order to create a new element, you should instead create a new element via React. If you don't want to have to add this element everywhere, then make a component that does it for you.

For special attributes like -webkit-filter, the way to encode them is by removing dashes - and capitalizing the next letter. So it turns into WebkitFilter. Note that doing {'-webkit-filter': ...} should also work.
