Programs & Examples On #Code analysis

Code Analysis is the process of analyzing the code of the application to discover, review, validate or verify certain properties of the application. This is useful during the process of development and for testing the application before it is put in production mode, especially for checking the security related aspects.

What static analysis tools are available for C#?

Optimyth Software has just launched a static analysis service in the cloud www.checkinginthecloud.com. Just securely upload your code run the analysis and get the results. No hassles.

It supports several languages including C# more info can be found at wwww.optimyth.com

C# compiler error: "not all code paths return a value"

This usually happens to me if I misplace a return statement, for example: enter image description here

Adding a return statement, or in my case, moving it to correct scope will do the trick: enter image description here

How can I perform static code analysis in PHP?

Online PHP lint

PHPLint

Unitialized variables check. Link 1 and 2 already seem to do this just fine, though.

I can't say I have used any of these intensively, though :)

How do I fix PyDev "Undefined variable from import" errors?

I had the same problem. I am using Python and Eclipse on Windows. The code was running just fine, but eclipse show errors everywhere. After I changed the name of the folder 'Lib' to 'lib' (C:\Python27\lib), the problem was solved. It seems that if the capitalization of the letters doesn't match the one in the configuration file, this will sometimes cause problems (but it seems like not always, because the error checking was fine for long time before the problems suddenly appeared for no obvious reason).

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

Disable back button in react navigation

i think it is simple just add headerLeft : null , i am using react-native cli, so this is the example :

static navigationOptions = {
    headerLeft : null
};

Regex to get the words after matching string

The following should work for you:

[\n\r].*Object Name:\s*([^\n\r]*)

Working example

Your desired match will be in capture group 1.


[\n\r][ \t]*Object Name:[ \t]*([^\n\r]*)

Would be similar but not allow for things such as " blah Object Name: blah" and also make sure that not to capture the next line if there is no actual content after "Object Name:"

#1214 - The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes

Simply do the following:

  1. Open your .sql file with Notepad or Notepad ++

  2. Find InnoDB and Replace all (around 87) with MyISAM

  3. Save and now you can import your database with out error.

Get the length of a String

For Xcode 7.3 and Swift 2.2.

let str = ""
  1. If you want the number of visual characters:

    str.characters.count
    
  2. If you want the "16-bit code units within the string’s UTF-16 representation":

    str.utf16.count
    

Most of the time, 1 is what you need.

When would you need 2? I've found a use case for 2:

let regex = try! NSRegularExpression(pattern:"", 
    options: NSRegularExpressionOptions.UseUnixLineSeparators)
let str = ""
let result = regex.stringByReplacingMatchesInString(str, 
    options: NSMatchingOptions.WithTransparentBounds, 
    range: NSMakeRange(0, str.utf16.count), withTemplate: "dog")
print(result) // dogdogdogdogdogdog

If you use 1, the result is incorrect:

let result = regex.stringByReplacingMatchesInString(str, 
    options: NSMatchingOptions.WithTransparentBounds, 
    range: NSMakeRange(0, str.characters.count), withTemplate: "dog")
print(result) // dogdogdog

Make the current Git branch a master branch

My way of doing things is the following

#Backup branch
git checkout -b master_backup
git push origin master_backup
git checkout master
#Hard Reset master branch to the last common commit
git reset --hard e8c8597
#Merge
git merge develop

calling java methods in javascript code

Java is a server side language, whereas javascript is a client side language. Both cannot communicate. If you have setup some server side script using Java you could use AJAX on the client in order to send an asynchronous request to it and thus invoke any possible Java functions. For example if you use jQuery as js framework you may take a look at the $.ajax() method. Or if you wanted to do it using plain javascript, here's a tutorial.

PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement

In PLSQL block, columns of select statements must be assigned to variables, which is not the case in SQL statements.

The second BEGIN's SQL statement doesn't have INTO clause and that caused the error.

How to get two or more commands together into a batch file

You can use the following command. The SET will set the input from the user console to the variable comment and then you can use that variable using %comment%

SET /P comment=Comment: 
echo %comment%
pause

Getting current directory in .NET web application

The current directory is a system-level feature; it returns the directory that the server was launched from. It has nothing to do with the website.

You want HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath.

If you're in an HTTP request, you can also call Server.MapPath("~/Whatever").

How to set thymeleaf th:field value from other variable

So what you need to do is replace th:field with th:name and add th:value, th:value will have the value of the variable you're passing across.

<div class="col-auto">
        <input type="text" th:value="${client.name}" th:name="clientName" 
        class="form control">
</div>

Converting UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in Java - how to keep it as single byte

byte[] iso88591Data = theString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");

Will do the trick. From your description it seems as if you're trying to "store an ISO-8859-1 String". String objects in Java are always implicitly encoded in UTF-16. There's no way to change that encoding.

What you can do, 'though is to get the bytes that constitute some other encoding of it (using the .getBytes() method as shown above).

Google Maps API: open url by clicking on marker

the previous answers didn't work out for me well. I had persisting problems by setting the marker. So i changed the code slightly.

   <!DOCTYPE html>
   <html>
   <head>
     <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ANSI" />
     <title>Google Maps Multiple Markers</title>
     <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
      type="text/javascript"></script>
   </head>
   <body>
     <div id="map" style="width: 1500px; height: 1000px;"></div>

     <script type="text/javascript">
       var locations = [
         ['Goettingen',  51.54128040000001,  9.915803500000038, 'http://www.google.de'],
         ['Kassel', 51.31271139999999,  9.479746100000057,0, 'http://www.stackoverflow.com'],
         ['Witzenhausen', 51.33996819999999,  9.855564299999969,0, 'www.http://developer.mozilla.org.de']

 ];

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
  zoom: 10,
 center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.54376, 9.910419999999931),
 mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

var marker, i;

for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
  marker = new google.maps.Marker({
   position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
   map: map,
   url: locations[i][4]
  });

 google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', (function(marker, i) {
   return function() {
     infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);
     infowindow.open(map, marker);
   }
 })(marker, i));

      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
   return function() {
     infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);
     infowindow.open(map, marker);
     window.location.href = this.url;
   }
 })(marker, i));

    }

     </script>
   </body>
   </html>

This way worked out for me! You can create Google Maps routing links from your Datebase to to use it as an interactive routing map.

How to check for null/empty/whitespace values with a single test?

This phpMyAdmin query is returning those rows, that are NOT null or empty or just whitespaces:

SELECT * FROM `table_name` WHERE NOT ((`column_name` IS NULL) OR (TRIM(`column_name`) LIKE ''))

if you want to select rows that are null/empty/just whitespaces just remove NOT.

How to read a CSV file into a .NET Datatable

I have been using OleDb provider. However, it has problems if you are reading in rows that have numeric values but you want them treated as text. However, you can get around that issue by creating a schema.ini file. Here is my method I used:

// using System.Data;
// using System.Data.OleDb;
// using System.Globalization;
// using System.IO;

static DataTable GetDataTableFromCsv(string path, bool isFirstRowHeader)
{
    string header = isFirstRowHeader ? "Yes" : "No";

    string pathOnly = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
    string fileName = Path.GetFileName(path);

    string sql = @"SELECT * FROM [" + fileName + "]";

    using(OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(
              @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + pathOnly + 
              ";Extended Properties=\"Text;HDR=" + header + "\""))
    using(OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(sql, connection))
    using(OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command))
    {
        DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
        dataTable.Locale = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
        adapter.Fill(dataTable);
        return dataTable;
    }
}

How to add icon inside EditText view in Android ?

If you want to use Android's default drawable, you can use @android:drawable/ic_menu_search like this:

<EditText android:id="@+id/inputSearch"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawableLeft="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
    android:hint="Search product.."
    android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"/>

Your configuration specifies to merge with the <branch name> from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.?

In my case I was simply lacking of initial commit on remote branch, so local branch wasn't finding anything to pull and it was giving that error message.

I did:

git commit -m 'first commit' // on remote branch
git pull // on local branch

How to modify a text file?

Python's mmap module will allow you to insert into a file. The following sample shows how it can be done in Unix (Windows mmap may be different). Note that this does not handle all error conditions and you might corrupt or lose the original file. Also, this won't handle unicode strings.

import os
from mmap import mmap

def insert(filename, str, pos):
    if len(str) < 1:
        # nothing to insert
        return

    f = open(filename, 'r+')
    m = mmap(f.fileno(), os.path.getsize(filename))
    origSize = m.size()

    # or this could be an error
    if pos > origSize:
        pos = origSize
    elif pos < 0:
        pos = 0

    m.resize(origSize + len(str))
    m[pos+len(str):] = m[pos:origSize]
    m[pos:pos+len(str)] = str
    m.close()
    f.close()

It is also possible to do this without mmap with files opened in 'r+' mode, but it is less convenient and less efficient as you'd have to read and temporarily store the contents of the file from the insertion position to EOF - which might be huge.

Printing variables in Python 3.4

Exposing a port on a live Docker container

Based on Robm's answer I have created a Docker image and a Bash script called portcat.

Using portcat, you can easily map multiple ports to an existing Docker container. An example using the (optional) Bash script:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archan937/portcat/master/script/install | sudo bash
portcat my-awesome-container 3456 4444:8080

And there you go! Portcat is mapping:

  • port 3456 to my-awesome-container:3456
  • port 4444 to my-awesome-container:8080

Please note that the Bash script is optional, the following commands:

ipAddress=$(docker inspect my-awesome-container | grep IPAddress | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\(\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\)\{3\}' | head -n 1)
docker run -p 3456:3456 -p 4444:4444 --name=alpine-portcat -it pmelegend/portcat:latest $ipAddress 3456 4444:8080

I hope portcat will come in handy for you guys. Cheers!

Uninstall all installed gems, in OSX?

If you are using Rubygems version 2.1.0 or later, you can try: gem uninstall --all.

AngularJS - value attribute for select

If the model specified for the drop down does not exist then angular will generate an empty options element. So you will have to explicitly specify the model on the select like this:

<select ng-model="regions[index]" ng-options="....">

Refer to the following as it has been answered before:

Why does AngularJS include an empty option in select? and this fiddle

Update: Try this instead:

<select ng-model="regions[index].code" ng-options="i.code as i.name for i in regions">
</select>

or

<select ng-model="regions[2]" ng-options="r.name for r in regions">
</select>

Note that there is no empty options element in the select.

How can I have same rule for two locations in NGINX config?

Both the regex and included files are good methods, and I frequently use those. But another alternative is to use a "named location", which is a useful approach in many situations — especially more complicated ones. The official "If is Evil" page shows essentially the following as a good way to do things:

error_page 418 = @common_location;
location /first/location/ {
    return 418;
}
location /second/location/ {
    return 418;
}
location @common_location {
    # The common configuration...
}

There are advantages and disadvantages to these various approaches. One big advantage to a regex is that you can capture parts of the match and use them to modify the response. Of course, you can usually achieve similar results with the other approaches by either setting a variable in the original block or using map. The downside of the regex approach is that it can get unwieldy if you want to match a variety of locations, plus the low precedence of a regex might just not fit with how you want to match locations — not to mention that there are apparently performance impacts from regexes in some cases.

The main advantage of including files (as far as I can tell) is that it is a little more flexible about exactly what you can include — it doesn't have to be a full location block, for example. But it's also just subjectively a bit clunkier than named locations.

Also note that there is a related solution that you may be able to use in similar situations: nested locations. The idea is that you would start with a very general location, apply some configuration common to several of the possible matches, and then have separate nested locations for the different types of paths that you want to match. For example, it might be useful to do something like this:

location /specialpages/ {
    # some config
    location /specialpages/static/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
    location /specialpages/dynamic/ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
    }
}

How to emit an event from parent to child?

As far as I know, there are 2 standard ways you can do that.

1. @Input

Whenever the data in the parent changes, the child gets notified about this in the ngOnChanges method. The child can act on it. This is the standard way of interacting with a child.

Parent-Component
public inputToChild: Object;

Parent-HTML
<child [data]="inputToChild"> </child>       

Child-Component: @Input() data;

ngOnChanges(changes: { [property: string]: SimpleChange }){
   // Extract changes to the input property by its name
   let change: SimpleChange = changes['data']; 
// Whenever the data in the parent changes, this method gets triggered. You 
// can act on the changes here. You will have both the previous value and the 
// current value here.
}
  1. Shared service concept

Creating a service and using an observable in the shared service. The child subscribes to it and whenever there is a change, the child will be notified. This is also a popular method. When you want to send something other than the data you pass as the input, this can be used.

SharedService
subject: Subject<Object>;

Parent-Component
constructor(sharedService: SharedService)
this.sharedService.subject.next(data);

Child-Component
constructor(sharedService: SharedService)
this.sharedService.subject.subscribe((data)=>{

// Whenever the parent emits using the next method, you can receive the data 
in here and act on it.})

Python: Best way to add to sys.path relative to the current running script

I'm using:

import sys,os
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())

How to search for an element in an stl list?

You use std::find from <algorithm>, which works equally well for std::list and std::vector. std::vector does not have its own search/find function.

#include <list>
#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
    std::list<int> ilist;
    ilist.push_back(1);
    ilist.push_back(2);
    ilist.push_back(3);

    std::list<int>::iterator findIter = std::find(ilist.begin(), ilist.end(), 1);
}

Note that this works for built-in types like int as well as standard library types like std::string by default because they have operator== provided for them. If you are using using std::find on a container of a user-defined type, you should overload operator== to allow std::find to work properly: EqualityComparable concept

How to convert int to float in C?

You are doing integer arithmetic, so there the result is correct. Try

percentage=((double)number/total)*100;

BTW the %f expects a double not a float. By pure luck that is converted here, so it works out well. But generally you'd mostly use double as floating point type in C nowadays.

Local variable referenced before assignment?

In order for you to modify test1 while inside a function you will need to do define test1 as a global variable, for example:

test1 = 0
def testFunc():
    global test1 
    test1 += 1
testFunc()

However, if you only need to read the global variable you can print it without using the keyword global, like so:

test1 = 0
def testFunc():
     print test1 
testFunc()

But whenever you need to modify a global variable you must use the keyword global.

Creating threads - Task.Factory.StartNew vs new Thread()

The task gives you all the goodness of the task API:

  • Adding continuations (Task.ContinueWith)
  • Waiting for multiple tasks to complete (either all or any)
  • Capturing errors in the task and interrogating them later
  • Capturing cancellation (and allowing you to specify cancellation to start with)
  • Potentially having a return value
  • Using await in C# 5
  • Better control over scheduling (if it's going to be long-running, say so when you create the task so the task scheduler can take that into account)

Note that in both cases you can make your code slightly simpler with method group conversions:

Delete last commit in bitbucket

you can reset to HEAD^ then force push it.

git reset HEAD^
git push -u origin master --force

It will delete your last commit and will reflect on bitbucket as commit deleted but will still remain on their server.

'sudo gem install' or 'gem install' and gem locations

Installing Ruby gems on a Mac is a common source of confusion and frustration. Unfortunately, most solutions are incomplete, outdated, and provide bad advice. I'm glad the accepted answer here says to NOT use sudo, which you should never need to do, especially if you don't understand what it does. While I used RVM years ago, I would recommend chruby in 2020.

Some of the other answers here provide alternative options for installing gems, but they don't mention the limitations of those solutions. What's missing is an explanation and comparison of the various options and why you might choose one over the other. I've attempted to cover most common scenarios in my definitive guide to installing Ruby gems on a Mac.

What is a "callback" in C and how are they implemented?

Here is an example of callbacks in C.

Let's say you want to write some code that allows registering callbacks to be called when some event occurs.

First define the type of function used for the callback:

typedef void (*event_cb_t)(const struct event *evt, void *userdata);

Now, define a function that is used to register a callback:

int event_cb_register(event_cb_t cb, void *userdata);

This is what code would look like that registers a callback:

static void my_event_cb(const struct event *evt, void *data)
{
    /* do stuff and things with the event */
}

...
   event_cb_register(my_event_cb, &my_custom_data);
...

In the internals of the event dispatcher, the callback may be stored in a struct that looks something like this:

struct event_cb {
    event_cb_t cb;
    void *data;
};

This is what the code looks like that executes a callback.

struct event_cb *callback;

...

/* Get the event_cb that you want to execute */

callback->cb(event, callback->data);

App.settings - the Angular way?

Here's my two solutions for this

1. Store in json files

Just make a json file and get in your component by $http.get() method. If I was need this very low then it's good and quick.

2. Store by using data services

If you want to store and use in all components or having large usage then it's better to use data service. Like this :

  1. Just create static folder inside src/app folder.

  2. Create a file named as fuels.ts into static folder. You can store other static files here also. Let define your data like this. Assuming you having fuels data.

__

export const Fuels {

   Fuel: [
    { "id": 1, "type": "A" },
    { "id": 2, "type": "B" },
    { "id": 3, "type": "C" },
    { "id": 4, "type": "D" },
   ];
   }
  1. Create a file name static.services.ts

__

import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import { Fuels } from "./static/fuels";

@Injectable()
export class StaticService {

  constructor() { }

  getFuelData(): Fuels[] {
    return Fuels;
  }
 }`
  1. Now You can make this available for every module

just import in app.module.ts file like this and change in providers

import { StaticService } from './static.services';

providers: [StaticService]

Now use this as StaticService in any module.

That's All.

How to print strings with line breaks in java

Copying Code from Inspect Element in Google Chrome

you dont have to do that in the Google chrome. Use the Internet explorer it offers the option to copy the css associated and after you copy and paste select the style and put that into another file .css to call into that html which you have created. Hope this will solve you problem than anything else:)

matplotlib savefig() plots different from show()

You render your matplotlib plots to different devices (e.g., on-screen via Quartz versus to to-file via pdf using different functions (plot versus savefig) whose parameters are nearly the same, yet the default values for those parameters are not the same for both functions.

Put another way, the savefig default parameters are different from the default display parameters.

Aligning them is simple if you do it in the matplotlib config file. The template file is included with the source package, and named matplotlibrc.template. If you did not create one when you installed matplotlib, you can get this template from the matplotlib source, or from the matplotlib website.

Once you have customized this file the way you want, rename it to matplotlibrc (no extension) and save it to the directory .matplotlib (note the leading '.') which should be in your home directory.

The config parameters for saving figures begins at about line 314 in the supplied matplotlibrc.template (first line before this section is: ### SAVING FIGURES).

In particular, you will want to look at these:

savefig.dpi       : 100         # figure dots per inch
savefig.facecolor : white       # figure facecolor when saving
savefig.edgecolor : white       # figure edgecolor when saving
savefig.extension : auto        # what extension to use for savefig('foo'), or 'auto'

Below these lines are the settings for font type and various image format-specific parameters.

These same parameters for display, i.e., PLT.show(), begin at about line 277 a in the matplotlibrc.template (this section preceded with the line: ### FIGURE):

figure.figsize   : 8, 6          
figure.dpi       : 80            
figure.facecolor : 0.75       
figure.edgecolor : white     

As you can see by comparing the values of these two blocks of parameters, the default settings for the same figure attribute are different for savefig versus display (show).

How to change environment's font size?

Currently it is not possible to change the font family or size outside the editor. You can however zoom the entire user interface in and out from the View menu.

Update for our VS Code 1.0 release:

A newly introduced setting window.zoomLevel allows to persist the zoom level for good! It can have both negative and positive values to zoom in or out.

Can Mysql Split a column?

As an addendum to this, I've strings of the form: Some words 303

where I'd like to split off the numerical part from the tail of the string. This seems to point to a possible solution:

The problem however, is that you only get the answer "yes, it matches", and not the start index of the regexp match.

Understanding MongoDB BSON Document size limit

To post a clarification answer here for those who get directed here by Google.

The document size includes everything in the document including the subdocuments, nested objects etc.

So a document of:

{
  "_id": {},
  "na": [1, 2, 3],
  "naa": [
    { "w": 1, "v": 2, "b": [1, 2, 3] },
    { "w": 5, "b": 2, "h": [{ "d": 5, "g": 7 }, {}] }
  ]
}

Has a maximum size of 16 MB.

Subdocuments and nested objects are all counted towards the size of the document.

Is 'bool' a basic datatype in C++?

Yes, bool is a built-in type.

WIN32 is C code, not C++, and C does not have a bool, so they provide their own typedef BOOL.

Should I declare Jackson's ObjectMapper as a static field?

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._hashMapSuperInterfaceChain(HierarchicType)

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._findSuperInterfaceChain(Type, Class)
  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._findSuperTypeChain(Class, Class)
     com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.findTypeParameters(Class, Class, TypeBindings)
        com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.findTypeParameters(JavaType, Class)
           com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._fromParamType(ParameterizedType, TypeBindings)
              com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._constructType(Type, TypeBindings)
                 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.constructType(TypeReference)
                    com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.convertValue(Object, TypeReference)

The method _hashMapSuperInterfaceChain in class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory is synchronized. Am seeing contention on the same at high loads.

May be another reason to avoid a static ObjectMapper

How to install a Notepad++ plugin offline?

In v7.7, I had to go to Plugins menu and select "Open Plugins Folder..." (which goes to C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins).

I had to create a folder for the plugin and extract the .dll into the folder. For example, create a folder called "JSMinNPP" and place the "JSMinNPP.dll" in that folder. It doesn't work if you put the dll into the plugins folder.

Finally go to Settings --> Import --> Import plugin(s) and import that dll and restart Notepad++.

Flutter: Setting the height of the AppBar

If you are in Visual Code, Ctrl + Click on AppBar function.

Widget demoPage() {
  AppBar appBar = AppBar(
    title: Text('Demo'),
  );
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: appBar,
    body: /*

}

And edit this piece.

app_bar.dart will open and you can find 
    preferredSize = new Size.fromHeight(kToolbarHeight + (bottom?.preferredSize?.height ?? 0.0)),

Difference of height!

How do I use select with date condition?

I always get the filter date into a datetime, with no time (time= 00:00:00.000)

DECLARE @FilterDate  datetime --final destination, will not have any time on it
DECLARE @GivenDateD  datetime --if you're given a datetime
DECLARE @GivenDateS  char(23) --if you're given a string, it can be any valid date format, not just the yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.mmm that I'm using

SET @GivenDateD='2009/03/30 13:42:50.123'
SET @GivenDateS='2009/03/30 13:42:50.123'

--remove the time and assign it to the datetime
@FilterDate=dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, @FilterDateD), 0)
--OR
@FilterDate=dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, @FilterDateS), 0)

You can use this WHERE clause to then filter:

WHERE ColumnDateTime>=@FilterDate AND ColumnDateTime<@FilterDate+1

this will give all matches that are on or after the beginning of the day on 2009/03/30 up to and including the complete day on 2009/03/30

you can do the same for START and END filter parameters as well. Always make the start date a datetime and use zero time on the day you want, and make the condition ">=". Always make the end date the zero time on the day after you want and use "<". Doing that, you will always include any dates properly, regardless of the time portion of the date.

python "TypeError: 'numpy.float64' object cannot be interpreted as an integer"

I came here with the same Error, though one with a different origin.

It is caused by unsupported float index in 1.12.0 and newer numpy versions even if the code should be considered as valid.

An int type is expected, not a np.float64

Solution: Try to install numpy 1.11.0

sudo pip install -U numpy==1.11.0.

How to fix Ora-01427 single-row subquery returns more than one row in select?

Use the following query:

SELECT E.I_EmpID AS EMPID,
       E.I_EMPCODE AS EMPCODE,
       E.I_EmpName AS EMPNAME,
       REPLACE(TO_CHAR(A.I_REQDATE, 'DD-Mon-YYYY'), ' ', '') AS FROMDATE,
       REPLACE(TO_CHAR(A.I_ENDDATE, 'DD-Mon-YYYY'), ' ', '') AS TODATE,
       TO_CHAR(NOD) AS NOD,
       DECODE(A.I_DURATION,
              'FD',
              'FullDay',
              'FN',
              'ForeNoon',
              'AN',
              'AfterNoon') AS DURATION,
       L.I_LeaveType AS LEAVETYPE,
       REPLACE(TO_CHAR((SELECT max(C.I_WORKDATE)
                         FROM T_COMPENSATION C
                        WHERE C.I_COMPENSATEDDATE = A.I_REQDATE
                          AND C.I_EMPID = A.I_EMPID),
                       'DD-Mon-YYYY'),
               ' ',
               '') AS WORKDATE,
       A.I_REASON AS REASON,
       AP.I_REJECTREASON AS REJECTREASON
  FROM T_LEAVEAPPLY A
 INNER JOIN T_EMPLOYEE_MS E
    ON A.I_EMPID = E.I_EmpID
   AND UPPER(E.I_IsActive) = 'YES'
   AND A.I_STATUS = '1'
 INNER JOIN T_LeaveType_MS L
    ON A.I_LEAVETYPEID = L.I_LEAVETYPEID
  LEFT OUTER JOIN T_APPROVAL AP
    ON A.I_REQDATE = AP.I_REQDATE
   AND A.I_EMPID = AP.I_EMPID
   AND AP.I_APPROVALSTATUS = '1'
 WHERE E.I_EMPID <> '22'
 ORDER BY A.I_REQDATE DESC

The trick is to force the inner query return only one record by adding an aggregate function (I have used max() here). This will work perfectly as far as the query is concerned, but, honestly, OP should investigate why the inner query is returning multiple records by examining the data. Are these multiple records really relevant business wise?

Find unused npm packages in package.json

If you're using a Unix like OS (Linux, OSX, etc) then you can use a combination of find and egrep to search for require statements containing your package name:

find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -name "*.js" -exec egrep -ni 'name-of-package' {} \;

If you search for the entire require('name-of-package') statement, remember to use the correct type of quotation marks:

find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -name "*.js" -exec egrep -ni 'require("name-of-package")' {} \;

or

find . -path ./node_modules -prune -o -name "*.js" -exec egrep -ni "require('name-of-package')" {} \;

The downside is that it's not fully automatic, i.e. it doesn't extract package names from package.json and check them. You need to do this for each package yourself. Since package.json is just JSON this could be remedied by writing a small script that uses child_process.exec to run this command for each dependency. And make it a module. And add it to the NPM repo...

Step-by-step debugging with IPython

One option is to use an IDE like Spyder which should allow you to interact with your code while debugging (using an IPython console, in fact). In fact, Spyder is very MATLAB-like, which I presume was intentional. That includes variable inspectors, variable editing, built-in access to documentation, etc.

It worked for me, thanks to this post.

The type arguments for method cannot be inferred from the usage

Now my aim was to have one pair with an base type and a type definition (Requirement A). For the type definition I want to use inheritance (Requirement B). The use should be possible, without explicite knowledge over the base type (Requirement C).

After I know now that the gernic constraints are not used for solving the generic return type, I experimented a little bit:

Ok let's introducte Get2:

class ServiceGate
{
    public IAccess<C, T> Get1<C, T>(C control) where C : ISignatur<T>
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public IAccess<ISignatur<T>, T> Get2<T>(ISignatur<T> control)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ServiceGate service = new ServiceGate();
        //var bla1 = service.Get1(new Signatur()); // CS0411
        var bla = service.Get2(new Signatur()); // Works
    }
}

Fine, but this solution reaches not requriement B.

Next try:

class ServiceGate
{
    public IAccess<C, T> Get3<C, T>(C control, ISignatur<T> iControl) where C : ISignatur<T>
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

}

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ServiceGate service = new ServiceGate();
        //var bla1 = service.Get1(new Signatur()); // CS0411
        var bla = service.Get2(new Signatur()); // Works
        var c = new Signatur();
        var bla3 = service.Get3(c, c); // Works!! 
    }
}

Nice! Now the compiler can infer the generic return types. But i don't like it. Other try:

class IC<A, B>
{
    public IC(A a, B b)
    {
        Value1 = a;
        Value2 = b;
    }

    public A Value1 { get; set; }

    public B Value2 { get; set; }
}

class Signatur : ISignatur<bool>
{
    public string Test { get; set; }

    public IC<Signatur, ISignatur<bool>> Get()
    {
        return new IC<Signatur, ISignatur<bool>>(this, this);
    }
}

class ServiceGate
{
    public IAccess<C, T> Get4<C, T>(IC<C, ISignatur<T>> control) where C : ISignatur<T>
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ServiceGate service = new ServiceGate();
        //var bla1 = service.Get1(new Signatur()); // CS0411
        var bla = service.Get2(new Signatur()); // Works
        var c = new Signatur();
        var bla3 = service.Get3(c, c); // Works!!
        var bla4 = service.Get4((new Signatur()).Get()); // Better...
    }
}

My final solution is to have something like ISignature<B, C>, where B ist the base type and C the definition...

Removing elements from array Ruby

Not very simple but:

a = [1,1,1,2,2,3]
b = a.group_by {|n| n}.each {|k,v| v.pop [1,3].count(k)}.values.flatten
=> [1, 1, 2, 2]

Also handles the case for multiples in the 'subtrahend':

a = [1,1,1,2,2,3]
b = a.group_by {|n| n}.each {|k,v| v.pop [1,1,3].count(k)}.values.flatten
=> [1, 2, 2]

EDIT: this is more an enhancement combining Norm212 and my answer to make a "functional" solution.

b = [1,1,3].each.with_object( a ) { |del| a.delete_at( a.index( del ) ) }

Put it in a lambda if needed:

subtract = lambda do |minuend, subtrahend|
  subtrahend.each.with_object( minuend ) { |del| minuend.delete_at( minuend.index( del ) ) }
end

then:

subtract.call a, [1,1,3]

Install a Nuget package in Visual Studio Code

The answers above are good, but insufficient if you have more than 1 project (.csproj) in the same folder.

First, you easily add the "PackageReference" tag to the .csproj file (either manually, by using the nuget package manager or by using the dotnet add package command).

But then, you need to run the "restore" command manually so you can tell it which project you are trying to restore (if I just clicked the restore button that popped up, nothing happened). You can do that by running:

dotnet restore Project-File-Name.csproj

And that installs the package

How to make Bootstrap 4 cards the same height in card-columns?

Get random sample from list while maintaining ordering of items?

Simple-to-code O(N + K*log(K)) way

Take a random sample without replacement of the indices, sort the indices, and take them from the original.

indices = random.sample(range(len(myList)), K)
[myList[i] for i in sorted(indices)]

Or more concisely:

[x[1] for x in sorted(random.sample(enumerate(myList),K))]

Optimized O(N)-time, O(1)-auxiliary-space way

You can alternatively use a math trick and iteratively go through myList from left to right, picking numbers with dynamically-changing probability (N-numbersPicked)/(total-numbersVisited). The advantage of this approach is that it's an O(N) algorithm since it doesn't involve sorting!

from __future__ import division

def orderedSampleWithoutReplacement(seq, k):
    if not 0<=k<=len(seq):
        raise ValueError('Required that 0 <= sample_size <= population_size')

    numbersPicked = 0
    for i,number in enumerate(seq):
        prob = (k-numbersPicked)/(len(seq)-i)
        if random.random() < prob:
            yield number
            numbersPicked += 1

Proof of concept and test that probabilities are correct:

Simulated with 1 trillion pseudorandom samples over the course of 5 hours:

>>> Counter(
        tuple(orderedSampleWithoutReplacement([0,1,2,3], 2))
        for _ in range(10**9)
    )
Counter({
    (0, 3): 166680161, 
    (1, 2): 166672608, 
    (0, 2): 166669915,

Probabilities diverge from true probabilities by less a factor of 1.0001. Running this test again resulted in a different order meaning it isn't biased towards one ordering. Running the test with fewer samples for [0,1,2,3,4], k=3 and [0,1,2,3,4,5], k=4 had similar results.

edit: Not sure why people are voting up wrong comments or afraid to upvote... NO, there is nothing wrong with this method. =)

(Also a useful note from user tegan in the comments: If this is python2, you will want to use xrange, as usual, if you really care about extra space.)

edit: Proof: Considering the uniform distribution (without replacement) of picking a subset of k out of a population seq of size len(seq), we can consider a partition at an arbitrary point i into 'left' (0,1,...,i-1) and 'right' (i,i+1,...,len(seq)). Given that we picked numbersPicked from the left known subset, the remaining must come from the same uniform distribution on the right unknown subset, though the parameters are now different. In particular, the probability that seq[i] contains a chosen element is #remainingToChoose/#remainingToChooseFrom, or (k-numbersPicked)/(len(seq)-i), so we simulate that and recurse on the result. (This must terminate since if #remainingToChoose == #remainingToChooseFrom, then all remaining probabilities are 1.) This is similar to a probability tree that happens to be dynamically generated. Basically you can simulate a uniform probability distribution by conditioning on prior choices (as you grow the probability tree, you pick the probability of the current branch such that it is aposteriori the same as prior leaves, i.e. conditioned on prior choices; this will work because this probability is uniformly exactly N/k).

edit: Timothy Shields mentions Reservoir Sampling, which is the generalization of this method when len(seq) is unknown (such as with a generator expression). Specifically the one noted as "algorithm R" is O(N) and O(1) space if done in-place; it involves taking the first N element and slowly replacing them (a hint at an inductive proof is also given). There are also useful distributed variants and miscellaneous variants of reservoir sampling to be found on the wikipedia page.

edit: Here's another way to code it below in a more semantically obvious manner.

from __future__ import division
import random

def orderedSampleWithoutReplacement(seq, sampleSize):
    totalElems = len(seq)
    if not 0<=sampleSize<=totalElems:
        raise ValueError('Required that 0 <= sample_size <= population_size')

    picksRemaining = sampleSize
    for elemsSeen,element in enumerate(seq):
        elemsRemaining = totalElems - elemsSeen
        prob = picksRemaining/elemsRemaining
        if random.random() < prob:
            yield element
            picksRemaining -= 1

from collections import Counter         
Counter(
    tuple(orderedSampleWithoutReplacement([0,1,2,3], 2))
    for _ in range(10**5)

Why does Java have transient fields?

Before understanding the transient keyword, one has to understand the concept of serialization. If the reader knows about serialization, please skip the first point.

What is serialization?

Serialization is the process of making the object's state persistent. That means the state of the object is converted into a stream of bytes to be used for persisting (e.g. storing bytes in a file) or transferring (e.g. sending bytes across a network). In the same way, we can use the deserialization to bring back the object's state from bytes. This is one of the important concepts in Java programming because serialization is mostly used in networking programming. The objects that need to be transmitted through the network have to be converted into bytes. For that purpose, every class or interface must implement the Serializable interface. It is a marker interface without any methods.

Now what is the transient keyword and its purpose?

By default, all of object's variables get converted into a persistent state. In some cases, you may want to avoid persisting some variables because you don't have the need to persist those variables. So you can declare those variables as transient. If the variable is declared as transient, then it will not be persisted. That is the main purpose of the transient keyword.

I want to explain the above two points with the following example:

package javabeat.samples;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

class NameStore implements Serializable{
    private String firstName;
    private transient String middleName;
    private String lastName;

    public NameStore (String fName, String mName, String lName){
        this.firstName = fName;
        this.middleName = mName;
        this.lastName = lName;
    }

    public String toString(){
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(40);
        sb.append("First Name : ");
        sb.append(this.firstName);
        sb.append("Middle Name : ");
        sb.append(this.middleName);
        sb.append("Last Name : ");
        sb.append(this.lastName);
        return sb.toString();
    }
}

public class TransientExample{
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        NameStore nameStore = new NameStore("Steve", "Middle","Jobs");
        ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("nameStore"));
        // writing to object
        o.writeObject(nameStore);
        o.close();

        // reading from object
        ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("nameStore"));
        NameStore nameStore1 = (NameStore)in.readObject();
        System.out.println(nameStore1);
    }
}

And the output will be the following:

First Name : Steve
Middle Name : null
Last Name : Jobs

Middle Name is declared as transient, so it will not be stored in the persistent storage.

How can we draw a vertical line in the webpage?

You can use <hr> for a vertical line as well.
Set the width to 1 and the size(height) as long as you want.
I used 500 in my example(demo):

With <hr width="1" size="500">

User Get-ADUser to list all properties and export to .csv

Query all users and filter by the list from your text file:

$Users = Get-Content 'C:\scripts\Users.txt'
Get-ADUser -Filter '*' -Properties DisplayName,Office |
    Where-Object { $Users -contains $_.SamAccountName } |
    Select-Object DisplayName, Office |
    Export-Csv 'C:\path\to\your.csv' -NoType

Get-ADUser -Filter '*' returns all AD user accounts. This stream of user objects is then piped into a Where-Object filter, which checks for each object if its SamAccountName property is contained in the user list from your input file ($Users). Only objects with a matching account name are passed forward to the next step of the pipeline. The output can be limited by selecting the relevant properties before exporting the data.

You can further optimize the code by replacing the -contains operator with hashtable lookups:

$Users = @{}
Get-Content 'C:\scripts\Users.txt' | ForEach-Object { $Users[$_] = $true }

Get-ADUser -Filter '*' -Properties DisplayName,Office |
    Where-Object { $Users.ContainsKey($_.SamAccountName) } |
    Select-Object DisplayName, Office |
    Export-Csv 'C:\path\to\your.csv' -NoType

What is a method group in C#?

You can cast a method group into a delegate.

The delegate signature selects 1 method out of the group.

This example picks the ToString() overload which takes a string parameter:

Func<string,string> fn = 123.ToString;
Console.WriteLine(fn("00000000"));

This example picks the ToString() overload which takes no parameters:

Func<string> fn = 123.ToString;
Console.WriteLine(fn());

What is the best way to remove a table row with jQuery?

$('#myTable tr').click(function(){
    $(this).remove();
    return false;
});

Even a better one

$("#MyTable").on("click", "#DeleteButton", function() {
   $(this).closest("tr").remove();
});

Capture iframe load complete event

There is another consistent way (only for IE9+) in vanilla JavaScript for this:

const iframe = document.getElementById('iframe');
const handleLoad = () => console.log('loaded');

iframe.addEventListener('load', handleLoad, true)

And if you're interested in Observables this does the trick:

return Observable.fromEventPattern(
  handler => iframe.addEventListener('load', handler, true),
  handler => iframe.removeEventListener('load', handler)
);

Basic Ajax send/receive with node.js

  1. Your request should be to the server, NOT the server.js file which instantiates it. So, the request should look something like this: xmlhttp.open("GET","http://localhost:8001/", true); Also, you are trying to serve the front-end (index.html) AND serve AJAX requests at the same URI. To accomplish this, you are going to have to introduce logic to your server.js that will differentiate between your AJAX requests and a normal http access request. To do this, you'll want to either introduce GET/POST data (i.e. call http://localhost:8001/?getstring=true) or use a different path for your AJAX requests (i.e. call http://localhost:8001/getstring). On the server end then, you'll need to examine the request object to determine what to write on the response. For the latter option, you need to use the 'url' module to parse the request.

  2. You are correctly calling listen() but incorrectly writing the response. First of all, if you wish to serve index.html when navigating to http://localhost:8001/, you need to write the contents of the file to the response using response.write() or response.end(). First, you need to include fs=require('fs') to get access to the filesystem. Then, you need to actually serve the file.

  3. XMLHttpRequest needs a callback function specified if you use it asynchronously (third parameter = true, as you have done) AND want to do something with the response. The way you have it now, string will be undefined (or perhaps null), because that line will execute before the AJAX request is complete (i.e. the responseText is still empty). If you use it synchronously (third parameter = false), you can write inline code as you have done. This is not recommended as it locks the browser during the request. Asynchronous operation is usually used with the onreadystatechange function, which can handle the response once it is complete. You need to learn the basics of XMLHttpRequest. Start here.

Here is a simple implementation that incorporates all of the above:

server.js:

var http = require('http'),
      fs = require('fs'),
     url = require('url'),
 choices = ["hello world", "goodbye world"];

http.createServer(function(request, response){
    var path = url.parse(request.url).pathname;
    if(path=="/getstring"){
        console.log("request recieved");
        var string = choices[Math.floor(Math.random()*choices.length)];
        console.log("string '" + string + "' chosen");
        response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
        response.end(string);
        console.log("string sent");
    }else{
        fs.readFile('./index.html', function(err, file) {  
            if(err) {  
                // write an error response or nothing here  
                return;  
            }  
            response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });  
            response.end(file, "utf-8");  
        });
    }
}).listen(8001);
console.log("server initialized");

frontend (part of index.html):

function newGame()
{
   guessCnt=0;
   guess="";
   server();
   displayHash();
   displayGuessStr();
   displayGuessCnt();
}

function server()
{
   xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
   xmlhttp.open("GET","http://localhost:8001/getstring", true);
   xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
         if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
           string=xmlhttp.responseText;
         }
   }
   xmlhttp.send();
}

You will need to be comfortable with AJAX. Use the mozilla learning center to learn about XMLHttpRequest. After you can use the basic XHR object, you will most likely want to use a good AJAX library instead of manually writing cross-browser AJAX requests (for example, in IE you'll need to use an ActiveXObject instead of XHR). The AJAX in jQuery is excellent, but if you don't need everything else jQuery offers, find a good AJAX library here: http://microjs.com/. You will also need to get comfy with the node.js docs, found here. Search http://google.com for some good node.js server and static file server tutorials. http://nodetuts.com is a good place to start.

UPDATE: I have changed response.sendHeader() to the new response.writeHead() in the code above !!!

How to Use Order By for Multiple Columns in Laravel 4?

You can do as @rmobis has specified in his answer, [Adding something more into it]

Using order by twice:

MyTable::orderBy('coloumn1', 'DESC')
    ->orderBy('coloumn2', 'ASC')
    ->get();

and the second way to do it is,

Using raw order by:

MyTable::orderByRaw("coloumn1 DESC, coloumn2 ASC");
    ->get();

Both will produce same query as follow,

SELECT * FROM `my_tables` ORDER BY `coloumn1` DESC, `coloumn2` ASC

As @rmobis specified in comment of first answer you can pass like an array to order by column like this,

$myTable->orders = array(
    array('column' => 'coloumn1', 'direction' => 'desc'), 
    array('column' => 'coloumn2', 'direction' => 'asc')
);

one more way to do it is iterate in loop,

$query = DB::table('my_tables');

foreach ($request->get('order_by_columns') as $column => $direction) {
    $query->orderBy($column, $direction);
}

$results = $query->get();

Hope it helps :)

C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

I've found answers here still are incomplete.

The most closest portable implementation I've found from here is: C++ preprocessor __VA_ARGS__ number of arguments

But it doen't work with the zero arguments in the GCC without at least -std=gnu++11 command line parameter.

So I decided to merge this solution with that: https://gustedt.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/detect-empty-macro-arguments/

Python Threading String Arguments

I hope to provide more background knowledge here.

First, constructor signature of the of method threading::Thread:

class threading.Thread(group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={}, *, daemon=None)

args is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().

Second, A quirk in Python about tuple:

Empty tuples are constructed by an empty pair of parentheses; a tuple with one item is constructed by following a value with a comma (it is not sufficient to enclose a single value in parentheses).

On the other hand, a string is a sequence of characters, like 'abc'[1] == 'b'. So if send a string to args, even in parentheses (still a sting), each character will be treated as a single parameter.

However, Python is so integrated and is not like JavaScript where extra arguments can be tolerated. Instead, it throws an TypeError to complain.

Session variables not working php

I had the same issue for a while and had a very hard time figuring it out. My problem was that I had the site working for a while with the sessions working right, and then all of the sudden everything broke.

Apparently, your session_save_path(), for me it was /var/lib/php5/, needs to have correct permissions (the user running php, eg www-data needs write access to the directory). I accidentally changed it, breaking sessions completely.

Run sudo chmod -R 700 /var/lib/php5/ and then sudo chown -R www-data /var/lib/php5/ so that the php user has access to the folder.

Git on Bitbucket: Always asked for password, even after uploading my public SSH key

The following assumes command-line access via iTerm / Terminal to bitbucket.

For MacOS Sierra 10.12.5, my system manifested an equivalent problem - asking for my SSH passphrase on each connection to bitbucket.

The issue has to do with OpenSSH updates in macOS 10.12.2, which are described here in Technical Note TN2449.

You very well might want to tailor your solution, but the following will work when added to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host *
    UseKeychain yes

For more information on ssh configs, take a look at the man pages for ssh_config:

% man ssh_config

One other thing: there is a good write-up on superuser here that discusses this problem and various solutions depending on your needs and setup.

How to convert a Django QuerySet to a list

instead of remove() you can use exclude() function to remove an object from the queryset. it's syntax is similar to filter()

eg : -

qs = qs.exclude(id= 1)

in above code it removes all objects from qs with id '1'

additional info :-

filter() used to select specific objects but exclude() used to remove

List of standard lengths for database fields

If you need to consider localisation (for those of us outside the US!) and it's possible in your environment, I'd suggest:

Define data types for each component of the name - NOTE: some cultures have more than two names! Then have a type for the full name,

Then localisation becomes simple (as far as names are concerned).

The same applies to addresses, BTW - different formats!

Launch Android application without main Activity and start Service on launching application

Android Studio Version 2.3

You can create a Service without a Main Activity by following a few easy steps. You'll be able to install this app through Android Studio and debug it like a normal app.

First, create a project in Android Studio without an activity. Then create your Service class and add the service to your AndroidManifest.xml

<application android:allowBackup="true"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <service android:name="com.whatever.myservice.MyService">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.whatever.myservice.MyService" />
        </intent-filter>
    </service>
</application>

Now, in the drop down next to the "Run" button(green arrow), go to "edit configurations" and within the "Launch Options" choose "Nothing". This will allow you to install your Service without Android Studio complaining about not having a Main Activity.

Once installed, the service will NOT be running but you will be able to start it with this adb shell command...

am startservice -n com.whatever.myservice/.MyService

Can check it's running with...

ps | grep whatever

I haven't tried yet but you can likely have Android Studio automatically start the service too. This would be done in that "Edit Configurations" menu.

ErrorActionPreference and ErrorAction SilentlyContinue for Get-PSSessionConfiguration

Tip #2

Can't you use the classical 2> redirection operator.

(Get-PSSessionConfiguration -Name "MyShellUri" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) 2> $NULL
if(!$?){
   'foo'
}

I don't like errors so I avoid them at all costs.

SQL Server replace, remove all after certain character

Use CHARINDEX to find the ";". Then use SUBSTRING to just return the part before the ";".

IndexError: too many indices for array

I think the problem is given in the error message, although it is not very easy to spot:

IndexError: too many indices for array
xs  = data[:, col["l1"     ]]

'Too many indices' means you've given too many index values. You've given 2 values as you're expecting data to be a 2D array. Numpy is complaining because data is not 2D (it's either 1D or None).

This is a bit of a guess - I wonder if one of the filenames you pass to loadfile() points to an empty file, or a badly formatted one? If so, you might get an array returned that is either 1D, or even empty (np.array(None) does not throw an Error, so you would never know...). If you want to guard against this failure, you can insert some error checking into your loadfile function.

I highly recommend in your for loop inserting:

print(data)

This will work in Python 2.x or 3.x and might reveal the source of the issue. You might well find it is only one value of your outputs_l1 list (i.e. one file) that is giving the issue.

How does one parse XML files?

If you're using .NET 2.0, try XmlReader and its subclasses XmlTextReader, and XmlValidatingReader. They provide a fast, lightweight (memory usage, etc.), forward-only way to parse an XML file.

If you need XPath capabilities, try the XPathNavigator. If you need the entire document in memory try XmlDocument.

How to tune Tomcat 5.5 JVM Memory settings without using the configuration program

If you'd start Tomcat manually (not as service), then the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable is the way to go. If you'd start it as a service, then the settings are probably stored somewhere in the registry. I have Tomcat 6 installed in my machine and I found the settings at the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\Tomcat6\Parameters\Java key.

Asp Net Web API 2.1 get client IP address

Following link might help you. Here's code from the following link.

reference : getting-the-client-ip-via-asp-net-web-api

using System.Net.Http;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Http;


namespace Trikks.Controllers.Api

    public class IpController : ApiController
    {
          public string GetIp()
          {
                return GetClientIp();
          }

          private string GetClientIp(HttpRequestMessage request = null)

                request = request ?? Request;

                if (request.Properties.ContainsKey("MS_HttpContext"))
                {
                      return   ((HttpContextWrapper)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"]).Request.UserHostAddress;
                }
                else if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name))

                }
           }
     }
}

Another way of doing this is below.

For web hosted version

string clientAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;

For self hosted

object property;
        Request.Properties.TryGetValue(typeof(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty).FullName, out property);
        RemoteEndpointMessageProperty remoteProperty = property as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;

How should I validate an e-mail address?

Try this code.. Its really works..

            if (!email
                    .matches("^[\\w-_\\.+]*[\\w-_\\.]\\@([\\w]+\\.)+[\\w]+[\\w]$"))
            {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Email is invalid",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                return;
            }

Checkbox value true/false

Checkboxes can be really weird in JS. You're best off checking for the presence of the checked attribute. (I've had older jQuery versions return true even if checked is set to 'false'.) Once you've determined that something is checked then you can get the value from the value attribute.

How do I get the XML root node with C#?

I got the same question here. If the document is huge, it is not a good idea to use XmlDocument. The fact is that the first element is the root element, based on which XmlReader can be used to get the root element. Using XmlReader will be much more efficient than using XmlDocument as it doesn't require load the whole document into memory.

  using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(<your_xml_file>)) {
    while (reader.Read()) {
      // first element is the root element
      if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) {
        System.Console.WriteLine(reader.Name);
        break;
      }
    }
  }

Where is the user's Subversion config file stored on the major operating systems?

In TortoiseSVN you can access and modify some settings in the context menu "Settings/General" in explorer.

E.g. the "Global ignore pattern" can be edited directly in the dialog box. Such changings are the stored in the registry as bahrep pointed out in her answer.

Laravel 4: Redirect to a given url

Yes, it's

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

return Redirect::to('http://heera.it');

Check the documentation.

Update: Redirect::away('url') (For external link, Laravel Version 4.19):

public function away($path, $status = 302, $headers = array())
{
    return $this->createRedirect($path, $status, $headers);
}

"The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure." using Gmail SMTP server

Check your computer's Date and Time. If it is wrong, update it to the current time or set it automatically to get the time from the Internet.

Because certificates are tied to a fixed time period, if your clock is wrong, you are likely to get errors like this. In that scenario, by fixing the time, the problem will be fixed.

Recursively list files in Java

Example outputs *.csv files in directory recursive searching Subdirectories using Files.find() from java.nio:

String path = "C:/Daten/ibiss/ferret/";
    logger.debug("Path:" + path);
    try (Stream<Path> fileList = Files.find(Paths.get(path), Integer.MAX_VALUE,
            (filePath, fileAttr) -> fileAttr.isRegularFile() && filePath.toString().endsWith("csv"))) {
        List<String> someThingNew = fileList.sorted().map(String::valueOf).collect(Collectors.toList());
        for (String t : someThingNew) {
            t.toString();
            logger.debug("Filename:" + t);
        }

    }

Cannot use mkdir in home directory: permission denied (Linux Lubuntu)

Convert a list to a data frame

You can use the plyr package. For example a nested list of the form

l <- list(a = list(var.1 = 1, var.2 = 2, var.3 = 3)
      , b = list(var.1 = 4, var.2 = 5, var.3 = 6)
      , c = list(var.1 = 7, var.2 = 8, var.3 = 9)
      , d = list(var.1 = 10, var.2 = 11, var.3 = 12)
      )

has now a length of 4 and each list in l contains another list of the length 3. Now you can run

  library (plyr)
  df <- ldply (l, data.frame)

and should get the same result as in the answer @Marek and @nico.

count number of characters in nvarchar column

I had a similar problem recently, and here's what I did:

    SELECT
         columnname as 'Original_Value',
         LEN(LTRIM(columnname)) as 'Orig_Val_Char_Count',
         N'['+columnname+']' as 'UnicodeStr_Value',
         LEN(N'['+columnname+']')-2 as 'True_Char_Count'
    FROM mytable 

The first two columns look at the original value and count the characters (minus leading/trailing spaces).

I needed to compare that with the true count of characters, which is why I used the second LEN function. It sets the column value to a string, forces that string to Unicode, and then counts the characters.

By using the brackets, you ensure that any leading or trailing spaces are also counted as characters; of course, you don't want to count the brackets themselves, so you subtract 2 at the end.

setValue:forUndefinedKey: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key

Such inexplicable exceptions are often a result of an unclean xib file. Open the xib in xcode, select File's Owner and click on the "Connection Inspector" (upper right arrow), to see all outlets at once. Look for !s which indicates a missing outlet.

In HTML5, should the main navigation be inside or outside the <header> element?

It's completely up to you. You can either put them in the header or not, as long as the elements within them are internal navigation elements only (i.e. don't link to external sites such as a twitter or facebook account) then it's fine.

They tend to get placed in a header simply because that's where navigation often goes, but it's not set in stone.

You can read more about it at HTML5 Doctor.

Restore the mysql database from .frm files

Yes! It is possible

Long approach but you can get all the data's using just .frm files. Of course you need other files in the mysql/data directory.

My Problem

One day my harddisk crashed and got the booting blue screen error. I try connecting with multiple machine and it didn't work. Since it is a booting error i was concered about the files. and i tryed with the secondary harddisk and try to recover the folders and files. I also backed up the full xampp folder c:/xampp just in case, Because I had no back of the recent databases i got really worried how to retrieve the database. we have lot of clients project management and personal doc in the database.

None of the method listed on the stackoverflow comment works, at-least for me. It took me 2 full days googling for the answer to get the data's from the .frm files. Came across multiple approaches from many people but everything was frustration and getting some error or another when implementing. If most of them get it working (based on their comment) then what am i missing.

Because i was so desperate I even reinstall windows which result in loosing all my softwares and tried again. But still the same error

THANKS to Dustin Davis

i found the solution in his blog and i managed to get it working exactly the same way he did. Let me give the credit to this guy, Dustin Davis (https://dustindavis.me/restoring-mysql-innodb-files-on-windows/). You could jump from here to his blog and try his method, pretty clear and easy to follow.

But there are something i discovered when trying his approach which he hasn't explained in his blog and i will try my best to explain how i did and what you need to look for.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you to install the same version of XAMPP. You cannot copy paste from older XAMPP to a new version. This will result in __config or __tracking errors.

How to check your XAMPP version

  1. Go to your xampp folder (your backed up xampp).
  2. Open the readme_en.txt file. which is in the root directory of the xampp.
  3. You should see the version on top. ###### ApacheFriends XAMPP Version X.X.XX ######

Files require to restore

xampp(old folder)/mysql/data/

ibdata1
ib_logfile0
ib_logfile1
<databasename>/*.frm
<databasename>/*.ibd

Step 1

  1. After installed the same version of xampp.
  2. Do not start the apache or myql

Step 2

  • Go to the mysql/data folder and replace the ibdata1, ib_logfile0, and ib_logfile1
  • Now copy paste your database folder from your old xampp backup to the newly installed xampp folder c:/xampp/mysql/data/ that contain .frm and .ibd files, If you are not sure try with one database.

Step 3

  • Go to c:/xampp/mysql/bin and look for my.cn.
  • Open the my.cn file and look for #skip-innodb and under that look for the line that says innodb_log_file_size=5M change it to 170M. innodb_log_file_size=170M. This is your log file size and if you are not sure just set it to 170

Step 4

  • Now open the file mysql_start.bat (Windows Batch file) that is in the c:/xampp/ directory.
  • Add –innodb_force_recovery=6 after the ... --console

    ....
    
    mysql\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=mysql\bin\my.ini --standalone --console
    –innodb_force_recovery=6
    if errorlevel 1 goto error
    goto finish
    

Step 5

  • Now Start your Apache and Mysql.
  • Go to your phpmyadmin and check for your database and its tables. if you do not get any errors you are on the right track.
  • Stop the Apache and Mysql and copy paste the rest of the databases.

how to make window.open pop up Modal?

I was able to make parent window disable. However making the pop-up always keep raised didn't work. Below code works even for frame tags. Just add id and class property to frame tag and it works well there too.

In parent window use:

<head>    
<style>
.disableWin{
     pointer-events: none;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function openPopUp(url) {
      disableParentWin(); 
      var win = window.open(url);
      win.focus();
      checkPopUpClosed(win);
    }
    /*Function to detect pop up is closed and take action to enable parent window*/
   function checkPopUpClosed(win) {
         var timer = setInterval(function() {
              if(win.closed) {
                  clearInterval(timer);                  
                  enableParentWin();
              }
          }, 1000);
     }
     /*Function to enable parent window*/ 
     function enableParentWin() {
          window.document.getElementById('mainDiv').class="";
     }
     /*Function to enable parent window*/ 
     function disableParentWin() {
          window.document.getElementById('mainDiv').class="disableWin";
     }

</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="mainDiv class="">

How to get size in bytes of a CLOB column in Oracle?

Try this one for CLOB sizes bigger than VARCHAR2:

We have to split the CLOB in parts of "VARCHAR2 compatible" sizes, run lengthb through every part of the CLOB data, and summarize all results.

declare
   my_sum int;
begin
   for x in ( select COLUMN, ceil(DBMS_LOB.getlength(COLUMN) / 2000) steps from TABLE ) 
   loop
       my_sum := 0;
       for y in 1 .. x.steps
       loop
          my_sum := my_sum + lengthb(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000, (y-1)*2000+1 ));
          -- some additional output
          dbms_output.put_line('step:' || y );
          dbms_output.put_line('char length:' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000 , (y-1)*2000+1 )));
          dbms_output.put_line('byte length:' || lengthb(dbms_lob.substr( x.COLUMN, 2000, (y-1)*2000+1 )));
          continue;
        end loop;
        dbms_output.put_line('char summary:' || DBMS_LOB.getlength(x.COLUMN));
        dbms_output.put_line('byte summary:' || my_sum);
        continue;
    end loop;
end;

How to load URL in UIWebView in Swift?

Loading URL to WebView is very easy. Just create a WebView in your storyboard and then you can use the following code to load url.

    let url = NSURL (string: "https://www.simplifiedios.net");
    let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!);
    webView.loadRequest(request);

As simple as that only 3 lines of codes :)

How can I remove an SSH key?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you lost your .ssh directory containing your private key on your local machine and so you want to remove the public key which was on a server and which allowed key-based login.

In that case, it will be stored in the .ssh/authorized_keys file in your home directory on the server. You can just edit this file with a text editor and delete the relevant line if you can identify it (even easier if it's the only entry!).

I hope that key wasn't your only method of access to the server and you have some other way of logging in and editing the file. You can either manually add a new public key to authorised_keys file or use ssh-copy-id. Either way, you'll need password authentication set up for your account on the server, or some other identity or access method to get to the authorized_keys file on the server.

ssh-add adds identities to your SSH agent which handles management of your identities locally and "the connection to the agent is forwarded over SSH remote logins, and the user can thus use the privileges given by the identities anywhere in the network in a secure way." (man page), so I don't think it's what you want in this case. It doesn't have any way to get your public key onto a server without you having access to said server via an SSH login as far as I know.

DateTime to javascript date

You can try this in your Action:

return DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss");

And this in your Ajax success:

success: function (resultDateString) {
    var date = new Date(resultDateString);
}

Or this in your View: (Javascript plus C#)

var date = new Date('@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss")');

Getting the closest string match

I was presented with this problem about a year ago when it came to looking up user entered information about a oil rig in a database of miscellaneous information. The goal was to do some sort of fuzzy string search that could identify the database entry with the most common elements.

Part of the research involved implementing the Levenshtein distance algorithm, which determines how many changes must be made to a string or phrase to turn it into another string or phrase.

The implementation I came up with was relatively simple, and involved a weighted comparison of the length of the two phrases, the number of changes between each phrase, and whether each word could be found in the target entry.

The article is on a private site so I'll do my best to append the relevant contents here:


Fuzzy String Matching is the process of performing a human-like estimation of the similarity of two words or phrases. In many cases, it involves identifying words or phrases which are most similar to each other. This article describes an in-house solution to the fuzzy string matching problem and its usefulness in solving a variety of problems which can allow us to automate tasks which previously required tedious user involvement.

Introduction

The need to do fuzzy string matching originally came about while developing the Gulf of Mexico Validator tool. What existed was a database of known gulf of Mexico oil rigs and platforms, and people buying insurance would give us some badly typed out information about their assets and we had to match it to the database of known platforms. When there was very little information given, the best we could do is rely on an underwriter to "recognize" the one they were referring to and call up the proper information. This is where this automated solution comes in handy.

I spent a day researching methods of fuzzy string matching, and eventually stumbled upon the very useful Levenshtein distance algorithm on Wikipedia.

Implementation

After reading about the theory behind it, I implemented and found ways to optimize it. This is how my code looks like in VBA:

'Calculate the Levenshtein Distance between two strings (the number of insertions,
'deletions, and substitutions needed to transform the first string into the second)
Public Function LevenshteinDistance(ByRef S1 As String, ByVal S2 As String) As Long
    Dim L1 As Long, L2 As Long, D() As Long 'Length of input strings and distance matrix
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, cost As Long 'loop counters and cost of substitution for current letter
    Dim cI As Long, cD As Long, cS As Long 'cost of next Insertion, Deletion and Substitution
    L1 = Len(S1): L2 = Len(S2)
    ReDim D(0 To L1, 0 To L2)
    For i = 0 To L1: D(i, 0) = i: Next i
    For j = 0 To L2: D(0, j) = j: Next j

    For j = 1 To L2
        For i = 1 To L1
            cost = Abs(StrComp(Mid$(S1, i, 1), Mid$(S2, j, 1), vbTextCompare))
            cI = D(i - 1, j) + 1
            cD = D(i, j - 1) + 1
            cS = D(i - 1, j - 1) + cost
            If cI <= cD Then 'Insertion or Substitution
                If cI <= cS Then D(i, j) = cI Else D(i, j) = cS
            Else 'Deletion or Substitution
                If cD <= cS Then D(i, j) = cD Else D(i, j) = cS
            End If
        Next i
    Next j
    LevenshteinDistance = D(L1, L2)
End Function

Simple, speedy, and a very useful metric. Using this, I created two separate metrics for evaluating the similarity of two strings. One I call "valuePhrase" and one I call "valueWords". valuePhrase is just the Levenshtein distance between the two phrases, and valueWords splits the string into individual words, based on delimiters such as spaces, dashes, and anything else you'd like, and compares each word to each other word, summing up the shortest Levenshtein distance connecting any two words. Essentially, it measures whether the information in one 'phrase' is really contained in another, just as a word-wise permutation. I spent a few days as a side project coming up with the most efficient way possible of splitting a string based on delimiters.

valueWords, valuePhrase, and Split function:

Public Function valuePhrase#(ByRef S1$, ByRef S2$)
    valuePhrase = LevenshteinDistance(S1, S2)
End Function

Public Function valueWords#(ByRef S1$, ByRef S2$)
    Dim wordsS1$(), wordsS2$()
    wordsS1 = SplitMultiDelims(S1, " _-")
    wordsS2 = SplitMultiDelims(S2, " _-")
    Dim word1%, word2%, thisD#, wordbest#
    Dim wordsTotal#
    For word1 = LBound(wordsS1) To UBound(wordsS1)
        wordbest = Len(S2)
        For word2 = LBound(wordsS2) To UBound(wordsS2)
            thisD = LevenshteinDistance(wordsS1(word1), wordsS2(word2))
            If thisD < wordbest Then wordbest = thisD
            If thisD = 0 Then GoTo foundbest
        Next word2
foundbest:
        wordsTotal = wordsTotal + wordbest
    Next word1
    valueWords = wordsTotal
End Function

Measures of Similarity

Using these two metrics, and a third which simply computes the distance between two strings, I have a series of variables which I can run an optimization algorithm to achieve the greatest number of matches. Fuzzy string matching is, itself, a fuzzy science, and so by creating linearly independent metrics for measuring string similarity, and having a known set of strings we wish to match to each other, we can find the parameters that, for our specific styles of strings, give the best fuzzy match results.

Initially, the goal of the metric was to have a low search value for for an exact match, and increasing search values for increasingly permuted measures. In an impractical case, this was fairly easy to define using a set of well defined permutations, and engineering the final formula such that they had increasing search values results as desired.

Fuzzy String Matching Permutations

In the above screenshot, I tweaked my heuristic to come up with something that I felt scaled nicely to my perceived difference between the search term and result. The heuristic I used for Value Phrase in the above spreadsheet was =valuePhrase(A2,B2)-0.8*ABS(LEN(B2)-LEN(A2)). I was effectively reducing the penalty of the Levenstein distance by 80% of the difference in the length of the two "phrases". This way, "phrases" that have the same length suffer the full penalty, but "phrases" which contain 'additional information' (longer) but aside from that still mostly share the same characters suffer a reduced penalty. I used the Value Words function as is, and then my final SearchVal heuristic was defined as =MIN(D2,E2)*0.8+MAX(D2,E2)*0.2 - a weighted average. Whichever of the two scores was lower got weighted 80%, and 20% of the higher score. This was just a heuristic that suited my use case to get a good match rate. These weights are something that one could then tweak to get the best match rate with their test data.

Fuzzy String Matching Value Phrase

Fuzzy String Matching Value Words

As you can see, the last two metrics, which are fuzzy string matching metrics, already have a natural tendency to give low scores to strings that are meant to match (down the diagonal). This is very good.

Application To allow the optimization of fuzzy matching, I weight each metric. As such, every application of fuzzy string match can weight the parameters differently. The formula that defines the final score is a simply combination of the metrics and their weights:

value = Min(phraseWeight*phraseValue, wordsWeight*wordsValue)*minWeight
      + Max(phraseWeight*phraseValue, wordsWeight*wordsValue)*maxWeight
      + lengthWeight*lengthValue

Using an optimization algorithm (neural network is best here because it is a discrete, multi-dimentional problem), the goal is now to maximize the number of matches. I created a function that detects the number of correct matches of each set to each other, as can be seen in this final screenshot. A column or row gets a point if the lowest score is assigned the the string that was meant to be matched, and partial points are given if there is a tie for the lowest score, and the correct match is among the tied matched strings. I then optimized it. You can see that a green cell is the column that best matches the current row, and a blue square around the cell is the row that best matches the current column. The score in the bottom corner is roughly the number of successful matches and this is what we tell our optimization problem to maximize.

Fuzzy String Matching Optimized Metric

The algorithm was a wonderful success, and the solution parameters say a lot about this type of problem. You'll notice the optimized score was 44, and the best possible score is 48. The 5 columns at the end are decoys, and do not have any match at all to the row values. The more decoys there are, the harder it will naturally be to find the best match.

In this particular matching case, the length of the strings are irrelevant, because we are expecting abbreviations that represent longer words, so the optimal weight for length is -0.3, which means we do not penalize strings which vary in length. We reduce the score in anticipation of these abbreviations, giving more room for partial word matches to supersede non-word matches that simply require less substitutions because the string is shorter.

The word weight is 1.0 while the phrase weight is only 0.5, which means that we penalize whole words missing from one string and value more the entire phrase being intact. This is useful because a lot of these strings have one word in common (the peril) where what really matters is whether or not the combination (region and peril) are maintained.

Finally, the min weight is optimized at 10 and the max weight at 1. What this means is that if the best of the two scores (value phrase and value words) isn't very good, the match is greatly penalized, but we don't greatly penalize the worst of the two scores. Essentially, this puts emphasis on requiring either the valueWord or valuePhrase to have a good score, but not both. A sort of "take what we can get" mentality.

It's really fascinating what the optimized value of these 5 weights say about the sort of fuzzy string matching taking place. For completely different practical cases of fuzzy string matching, these parameters are very different. I've used it for 3 separate applications so far.

While unused in the final optimization, a benchmarking sheet was established which matches columns to themselves for all perfect results down the diagonal, and lets the user change parameters to control the rate at which scores diverge from 0, and note innate similarities between search phrases (which could in theory be used to offset false positives in the results)

Fuzzy String Matching Benchmark

Further Applications

This solution has potential to be used anywhere where the user wishes to have a computer system identify a string in a set of strings where there is no perfect match. (Like an approximate match vlookup for strings).


So what you should take from this, is that you probably want to use a combination of high level heuristics (finding words from one phrase in the other phrase, length of both phrases, etc) along with the implementation of the Levenshtein distance algorithm. Because deciding which is the "best" match is a heuristic (fuzzy) determination - you'll have to come up with a set of weights for any metrics you come up with to determine similarity.

With the appropriate set of heuristics and weights, you'll have your comparison program quickly making the decisions that you would have made.

What does .shape[] do in "for i in range(Y.shape[0])"?

In python, Suppose you have loaded up the data in some variable train:

train = pandas.read_csv('file_name')
>>> train
train([[ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 5.,  1.,  2.]],)

I want to check what are the dimensions of the 'file_name'. I have stored the file in train

>>>train.shape
(2,3)
>>>train.shape[0]              # will display number of rows

Does Visual Studio have code coverage for unit tests?

Toni's answer is very useful, but I thought a quick start for total beginners to test coverage assessment (like I am).

As already mentioned, Visual Studio Professional and Community Editions do not have built-in test coverage support. However, it can be obtained quite easily. I will write step-by-step configuration for use with NUnit tests within Visual Studion 2015 Professional.

  1. Install OpenCover NUGet component using NuGet interface

  2. Get OpenCoverUI extension. This can be installed directly from Visual Studio by using Tools -> Extensions and Updates

  3. Configure OpenCoverUI to use the appropriate executables, by accessing Tools -> Options -> OpenCover.UI Options -> General

NUnit Path: must point to the `nunit-console.exe file. This can be found only within NUnit 2.xx version, which can be downloaded from here.

OpenCover Path: this should point to the installed package, usually <solution path>\packages\OpenCover.4.6.519\tools\OpenCover.Console.exe

  1. Install ReportGenerator NUGet package

  2. Access OpenCover Test Explorer from OpenCover menu. Try discovering tests from there. If it fails, check Output windows for more details.

  3. Check OpenCover Results (within OpenCover menu) for more details. It will output details such as Code Coverage in a tree based view. You can also highlight code that is or is not covered (small icon in the top-left).

NOTE: as mentioned, OpenCoverUI does not support latest major version of NUnit (3.xx). However, if nothing specific to this version is used within tests, it will work with no problems, regardless of having installed NUnit 3.xx version.

This covers the quick start. As already mentioned in the comments, for more advanced configuration and automation check this article.

How to allow only a number (digits and decimal point) to be typed in an input?

I wrote a working CodePen example to demonstrate a great way of filtering numeric user input. The directive currently only allows positive integers, but the regex can easily be updated to support any desired numeric format.

My directive is easy to use:

<input type="text" ng-model="employee.age" valid-number />

The directive is very easy to understand:

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
});

app.directive('validNumber', function() {
  return {
    require: '?ngModel',
    link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
      if(!ngModelCtrl) {
        return; 
      }

      ngModelCtrl.$parsers.push(function(val) {
        if (angular.isUndefined(val)) {
            var val = '';
        }
        var clean = val.replace( /[^0-9]+/g, '');
        if (val !== clean) {
          ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue(clean);
          ngModelCtrl.$render();
        }
        return clean;
      });

      element.bind('keypress', function(event) {
        if(event.keyCode === 32) {
          event.preventDefault();
        }
      });
    }
  };
});

I want to emphasize that keeping model references out of the directive is important.

I hope you find this helpful.

Big thanks to Sean Christe and Chris Grimes for introducing me to the ngModelController

What is the best way to find the users home directory in Java?

The concept of a HOME directory seems to be a bit vague when it comes to Windows. If the environment variables (HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH/USERPROFILE) aren't enough, you may have to resort to using native functions via JNI or JNA. SHGetFolderPath allows you to retrieve special folders, like My Documents (CSIDL_PERSONAL) or Local Settings\Application Data (CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA).

Sample JNA code:

public class PrintAppDataDir {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (com.sun.jna.Platform.isWindows()) {
            HWND hwndOwner = null;
            int nFolder = Shell32.CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA;
            HANDLE hToken = null;
            int dwFlags = Shell32.SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT;
            char[] pszPath = new char[Shell32.MAX_PATH];
            int hResult = Shell32.INSTANCE.SHGetFolderPath(hwndOwner, nFolder,
                    hToken, dwFlags, pszPath);
            if (Shell32.S_OK == hResult) {
                String path = new String(pszPath);
                int len = path.indexOf('\0');
                path = path.substring(0, len);
                System.out.println(path);
            } else {
                System.err.println("Error: " + hResult);
            }
        }
    }

    private static Map<String, Object> OPTIONS = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    static {
        OPTIONS.put(Library.OPTION_TYPE_MAPPER, W32APITypeMapper.UNICODE);
        OPTIONS.put(Library.OPTION_FUNCTION_MAPPER,
                W32APIFunctionMapper.UNICODE);
    }

    static class HANDLE extends PointerType implements NativeMapped {
    }

    static class HWND extends HANDLE {
    }

    static interface Shell32 extends Library {

        public static final int MAX_PATH = 260;
        public static final int CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA = 0x001c;
        public static final int SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT = 0;
        public static final int SHGFP_TYPE_DEFAULT = 1;
        public static final int S_OK = 0;

        static Shell32 INSTANCE = (Shell32) Native.loadLibrary("shell32",
                Shell32.class, OPTIONS);

        /**
         * see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181(VS.85).aspx
         * 
         * HRESULT SHGetFolderPath( HWND hwndOwner, int nFolder, HANDLE hToken,
         * DWORD dwFlags, LPTSTR pszPath);
         */
        public int SHGetFolderPath(HWND hwndOwner, int nFolder, HANDLE hToken,
                int dwFlags, char[] pszPath);

    }

}

How to give a Linux user sudo access?

This answer will do what you need, although usually you don't add specific usernames to sudoers. Instead, you have a group of sudoers and just add your user to that group when needed. This way you don't need to use visudo more than once when giving sudo permission to users.

If you're on Ubuntu, the group is most probably already set up and called admin:

$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#

...

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# See sudoers(5) for more information on "#include" directives:

#includedir /etc/sudoers.d

On other distributions, like Arch and some others, it's usually called wheel and you may need to set it up: Arch Wiki

To give users in the wheel group full root privileges when they precede a command with "sudo", uncomment the following line: %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Also note that on most systems visudo will read the EDITOR environment variable or default to using vi. So you can try to do EDITOR=vim visudo to use vim as the editor.

To add a user to the group you should run (as root):

# usermod -a -G groupname username

where groupname is your group (say, admin or wheel) and username is the username (say, john).

What should I do when 'svn cleanup' fails?

I just had this same problem on Windows 7 64-bit. I ran console as administrator and deleted the .svn directory from the problem directory (got an error about logs or something, but ignored it). Then, in explorer, I deleted the problem directory which was no longer showing as under version control. Then, I ran an update and things proceeded as expected.

Pandas dataframe fillna() only some columns in place

using the top answer produces a warning about making changes to a copy of a df slice. Assuming that you have other columns, a better way to do this is to pass a dictionary:
df.fillna({'A': 'NA', 'B': 'NA'}, inplace=True)

casting int to char using C++ style casting

You can implicitly convert between numerical types, even when that loses precision:

char c = i;

However, you might like to enable compiler warnings to avoid potentially lossy conversions like this. If you do, then use static_cast for the conversion.

Of the other casts:

  • dynamic_cast only works for pointers or references to polymorphic class types;
  • const_cast can't change types, only const or volatile qualifiers;
  • reinterpret_cast is for special circumstances, converting between pointers or references and completely unrelated types. Specifically, it won't do numeric conversions.
  • C-style and function-style casts do whatever combination of static_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast is needed to get the job done.

       class="textLink" href="<c:url value="/mapping/parameter/bar />">By path, method,and
           presence of parameter</a>
</li>

Controller

@RequestMapping(value="/mapping/parameter/{foo}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String byParameter(@PathVariable String foo) {
    //Perform logic with foo
    return "Mapped by path + method + presence of query parameter! (MappingController)";

Is it possible to ignore one single specific line with Pylint?

Checkout the files in https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/tree/master/pylint/checkers. I haven't found a better way to obtain the error name from a message than either Ctrl + F-ing those files or using the GitHub search feature:

If the message is "No name ... in module ...", use the search:

No name %r in module %r repo:PyCQA/pylint/tree/master path:/pylint/checkers

Or, to get fewer results:

"No name %r in module %r" repo:PyCQA/pylint/tree/master path:/pylint/checkers

GitHub will show you:

"E0611": (
    "No name %r in module %r",
    "no-name-in-module",
    "Used when a name cannot be found in a module.",

You can then do:

from collections import Sequence # pylint: disable=no-name-in-module

Java system properties and environment variables

I think the difference between the two boils down to access. Environment variables are accessible by any process and Java system properties are only accessible by the process they are added to.

Also as Bohemian stated, env variables are set in the OS (however they 'can' be set through Java) and system properties are passed as command line options or set via setProperty().

How can I make my own event in C#?

I have a full discussion of events and delegates in my events article. For the simplest kind of event, you can just declare a public event and the compiler will create both an event and a field to keep track of subscribers:

public event EventHandler Foo;

If you need more complicated subscription/unsubscription logic, you can do that explicitly:

public event EventHandler Foo
{
    add
    {
        // Subscription logic here
    }
    remove
    {
        // Unsubscription logic here
    }
}

matplotlib error - no module named tkinter

If you are using fedora then first install tkinter

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

I don't think you need to import tkinter afterwards I also suggest you to use virtualenv

$ python3 -m venv myvenv
$ source myvenv/bin/activate

And add the necessary packages using pip

How do I group Windows Form radio buttons?

GroupBox is better.But not only group box, even you can use Panels (System.Windows.Forms.Panel).

How to validate phone number in laravel 5.2?

One possible solution would to use regex.

'phone' => 'required|regex:/(01)[0-9]{9}/'

This will check the input starts with 01 and is followed by 9 numbers. By using regex you don't need the numeric or size validation rules.

If you want to reuse this validation method else where, it would be a good idea to create your own validation rule for validating phone numbers.

Docs: Custom Validation

In your AppServiceProvider's boot method:

Validator::extend('phone_number', function($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
    return substr($value, 0, 2) == '01';
});

This will allow you to use the phone_number validation rule anywhere in your application, so your form validation could be:

'phone' => 'required|numeric|phone_number|size:11'

In your validator extension you could also check if the $value is numeric and 11 characters long.

ImportError: No module named tensorflow

Instead of using the doc's command (conda create -n tensorflow pip python=2.7 # or python=3.3, etc.) which wanted to install python2.7 in the conda environment, and kept erroring out saying the module can't be found when following the installation validation steps, I used conda create -n tensorflow pip python=3 to make sure python3 was installed in the environment.

Doing this, I only had to type python instead of python3 when validating the installation and the error went away.

How to open an elevated cmd using command line for Windows?

Make the batch file save the credentials of the actual administrator account by using the /savecred switch. This will prompt for credentials the first time and then store the encrypted password in credential manager. Then for all subsequent times the batch runs it will run as the full admin but not prompt for credentials because they are stored encrypted in credential manager and the end user is unable to get the password. The following should open an elevated CMD with full administrator privileges and will only prompt for password the first time:

START c:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Administrator /savecred cmd.exe

C++ template constructor

Some points:

  • If you declare any constructor(including a templated one), the compiler will refrain from declaring a default constructor.
  • Unless you declare a copy-constructor (for class X one that takes X or X& or X const &) the compiler will generate the default copy-constructor.
  • If you provide a template constructor for class X which takes T const & or T or T& then the compiler will nevertheless generate a default non-templated copy-constructor, even though you may think that it shouldn't because when T = X the declaration matches the copy-constructor declaration.
  • In the latter case you may want to provide a non-templated copy-constructor along with the templated one. They will not conflict. When X is passed the nontemplated will be called. Otherwise the templated

How to find all occurrences of an element in a list

Or Use range (python 3):

l=[i for i in range(len(lst)) if lst[i]=='something...']

And then (both cases):

print(l)

Calculating the difference between two Java date instances

You need to define your problem more clearly. You could just take the number of milliseconds between the two Date objects and divide by the number of milliseconds in 24 hours, for example... but:

  • This won't take time zones into consideration - Date is always in UTC
  • This won't take daylight saving time into consideration (where there can be days which are only 23 hours long, for example)
  • Even within UTC, how many days are there in August 16th 11pm to August 18th 2am? It's only 27 hours, so does that mean one day? Or should it be three days because it covers three dates?

Login to website, via C#

You can simplify things quite a bit by creating a class that derives from WebClient, overriding its GetWebRequest method and setting a CookieContainer object on it. If you always set the same CookieContainer instance, then cookie management will be handled automatically for you.

But the only way to get at the HttpWebRequest before it is sent is to inherit from WebClient and override that method.

public class CookieAwareWebClient : WebClient
{
    private CookieContainer cookie = new CookieContainer();

    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        WebRequest request = base.GetWebRequest(address);
        if (request is HttpWebRequest)
        {
            (request as HttpWebRequest).CookieContainer = cookie;
        }
        return request;
    }
}

var client = new CookieAwareWebClient();
client.BaseAddress = @"https://www.site.com/any/base/url/";
var loginData = new NameValueCollection();
loginData.Add("login", "YourLogin");
loginData.Add("password", "YourPassword");
client.UploadValues("login.php", "POST", loginData);

//Now you are logged in and can request pages    
string htmlSource = client.DownloadString("index.php");

Trying to get property of non-object - CodeIgniter

In my case, I was looping through a series of objects from an XML file, but some of the instances apparently were not objects which was causing the error. Checking if the object was empty before processing it fixed the problem.

In other words, without checking if the object was empty, the script would error out on any empty object with the error as given below.

Trying to get property of non-object

For Example:

if (!empty($this->xml_data->thing1->thing2))
{

Node.js ES6 classes with require

The ES6 way of require is import. You can export your class and import it somewhere else using import { ClassName } from 'path/to/ClassName'syntax.

import fs from 'fs';
export default class Animal {

    this.name = name ;
  }

  print(){
    console.log('Name is :'+ this.name);
  }
}

import Animal from 'path/to/Animal.js';

Namespace for [DataContract]

DataContractAttribute Class is in the System.Runtime.Serialization namespace.

You should add a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization.dll. That assembly isn't referenced by default though. To add the reference to your project you have to go to References -> Add Reference in the Solution Explorer and add an assembly reference manually.

setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

After upgrade my computer with pip today, and check the other answers here, I can tell you that it could be ANYTHING. You should check error by error, looking for what's the specific library that you need. In my case, these were the libraries that I had to install:

$ sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

How to push a docker image to a private repository

Ref: dock.docker.com

This topic provides basic information about deploying and configuring a registry

Run a local registry

Before you can deploy a registry, you need to install Docker on the host.

Use a command like the following to start the registry container:

start_registry.sh

#!/bin/bash

docker run -d \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  --restart=always \
  --name registry \
  -v /data/registry:/var/lib/registry \
  registry:2

Copy an image from Docker Hub to your registry

  1. Pull the ubuntu:16.04 image from Docker Hub.

    $ docker pull ubuntu:16.04
    
  2. Tag the image as localhost:5000/my-ubuntu. This creates an additional tag for the existing image. When the first part of the tag is a hostname and port, Docker interprets this as the location of a registry, when pushing.

    $ docker tag ubuntu:16.04 localhost:5000/my-ubuntu
    
  3. Push the image to the local registry running at localhost:5000:

    $ docker push localhost:5000/my-ubuntu
    
  4. Remove the locally-cached images. This does not remove the localhost:5000/my-ubuntu image from your registry.

    $ docker image remove ubuntu:16.04
    $ docker image remove localhost:5000/my-ubuntu
    
  5. Pull the localhost:5000/my-ubuntu image from your local registry.

    $ docker pull localhost:5000/my-ubuntu
    
Deploy a plain HTTP registry

According to docs.docker.com, this is very insecure and is not recommended.

  1. Edit the daemon.json file, whose default location is /etc/docker/daemon.json on Linux or C:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json on Windows Server. If you use Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows, click Docker icon -> Preferences -> Daemon, add in the insecure registry.

    If the daemon.json file does not exist, create it. Assuming there are no other settings in the file, it should have the following contents:

    {
      "insecure-registries" : ["myregistrydomain.com:5000"]
    }
    

    With insecure registries enabled, Docker goes through the following steps:

    • First, try using HTTPS.
      • If HTTPS is available but the certificate is invalid, ignore the error about the certificate.
      • If HTTPS is not available, fall back to HTTP.
  2. Restart Docker for the changes to take effect.

How can I run an EXE program from a Windows Service using C#?

This will never work, at least not under Windows Vista or later. The key problem is that you're trying to execute this from within a Windows Service, rather than a standard Windows application. The code you've shown will work perfectly in a Windows Forms, WPF, or Console application, but it won't work at all in a Windows Service.

Windows Services cannot start additional applications because they are not running in the context of any particular user. Unlike regular Windows applications, services are now run in an isolated session and are prohibited from interacting with a user or the desktop. This leaves no place for the application to be run.

More information is available in the answers to these related questions:

The best solution to your problem, as you've probably figured out by now, is to create a standard Windows application instead of a service. These are designed to be run by a particular user and are associated with that user's desktop. This way, you can run additional applications whenever you want, using the code that you've already shown.

Another possible solution, assuming that your Console application does not require an interface or output of any sort, is to instruct the process not to create a window. This will prevent Windows from blocking the creation of your process, because it will no longer request that a Console window be created. You can find the relevant code in this answer to a related question.

Remove all special characters with RegExp

I use RegexBuddy for debbuging my regexes it has almost all languages very usefull. Than copy/paste for the targeted language. Terrific tool and not very expensive.

So I copy/pasted your regex and your issue is that [,] are special characters in regex, so you need to escape them. So the regex should be : /!@#$^&%*()+=-[\x5B\x5D]\/{}|:<>?,./im

    for i := range projects {
        p := projects[i]
        fmt.Println(p.name) //p1, p2
    }
}

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (Mysql::Error)

Caesar Cipher Function in Python

As pointed by others, you were resetting the cipherText in the iteration of the for loop. Placing cipherText before the start of the for loop will solve your problem.

Additionally, there is an alternate approach to solving this problem using Python's Standard library. The Python Standard Library defines a function maketrans() and a method translate that operates on strings.

The function maketrans() creates translation tables that can be used with the translate method to change one set of characters to another more efficiently. (Quoted from The Python Standard Library by Example).

import string

def caesar(plaintext, shift): 

shift %= 26 # Values greater than 26 will wrap around

alphabet_lower = string.ascii_lowercase
alphabet_upper = string.ascii_uppercase

shifted_alphabet_lower = alphabet_lower[shift:] + alphabet_lower[:shift]
shifted_alphabet_upper = alphabet_upper[shift:] + alphabet_upper[:shift]

alphabet = alphabet_lower + alphabet_upper 
shifted_alphabet = shifted_alphabet_lower + shifted_alphabet_upper

table = string.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet) 

return plaintext.translate(table)

ERROR Error: No value accessor for form control with unspecified name attribute on switch

I was getting this error message in my Unit tests with Jasmine. I added ngDefaultControl attribute to the custom element(in my case it was an angular material slide toggle) and this resolves the error.

<mat-slide-toggle formControlName="extraCheese">
  Extra Cheese

Change the above element to include ngDefaultControl atttribute

<mat-slide-toggle ngDefaultControl formControlName="extraCheese">
 Extra Cheese
</mat-slide-toggle>

How to specify multiple conditions in an if statement in javascript

Here is an alternative way to do that.

const conditionsArray = [
    condition1, 
    condition2,
    condition3,
]

if (conditionsArray.indexOf(false) === -1) {
    "do somthing"
}

Or ES6

if (!conditionsArray.includes(false)) {
   "do somthing"
}

get enum name from enum value

What you can do is

RelationActiveEnum ae = Enum.valueOf(RelationActiveEnum.class,
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.name();

or

RelationActiveEnum ae = RelationActiveEnum.valueOf(
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.name();

or

// not recommended as the ordinal might not match the value
RelationActiveEnum ae = RelationActiveEnum.values()[
                                     RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.value];

By if you want to lookup by a field of an enum you need to construct a collection such as a List, an array or a Map.

public enum RelationActiveEnum {
    Invited(0),
    Active(1),
    Suspended(2);

    private final int code;

    private RelationActiveEnum(final int code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    private static final Map<Integer, RelationActiveEnum> BY_CODE_MAP = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    static {
        for (RelationActiveEnum rae : RelationActiveEnum.values()) {
            BY_CODE_MAP.put(rae.code, rae);
        }
    }

    public static RelationActiveEnum forCode(int code) {
        return BY_CODE_MAP.get(code);
    }
}

allows you to write

String name = RelationActiveEnum.forCode(RelationActiveEnum.ACTIVE.code).name();

How do I put variable values into a text string in MATLAB?

Here's how you convert numbers to strings, and join strings to other things (it's weird):

Check if element found in array c++

If you were originally looking for the answer to this question (int value in sorted (Ascending) int array), then you can use the following code that performs a binary search (fastest result):

static inline bool exists(int ints[], int size, int k) // array, array's size, searched value
{
    if (size <= 0)      // check that array size is not null or negative
         return false;
    // sort(ints, ints + size); // uncomment this line if array wasn't previously sorted
    return (std::binary_search(ints, ints + size, k));
}

edit: Also works for unsorted int array if uncommenting sort.

When do I need to use AtomicBoolean in Java?

When multiple threads need to check and change the boolean. For example:

if (!initialized) {
   initialize();
   initialized = true;
}

This is not thread-safe. You can fix it by using AtomicBoolean:

if (atomicInitialized.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
    initialize();
}

jQuery Ajax Request inside Ajax Request

Call second ajax from 'complete'

Here is the example

   var dt='';
   $.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: "ajax/example.php",
    data: 'page='+btn_page,
    success: function(data){
        dt=data;
        /*Do something*/
    },
    complete:function(){
        $.ajax({
           var a=dt; // This line shows error.
           type: "post",
           url: "example.php",
           data: 'page='+a,
           success: function(data){
              /*do some thing in second function*/
           },
       });
    }
});

There is no ViewData item of type 'IEnumerable<SelectListItem>' that has the key 'xxx'

This is OK too; For example:
==> In "NumberController" file:

public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "NumberId,Number1,Number2,OperatorId")] Number number)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        ...
        ...
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    ViewBag.OperatorId = new SelectList(db.Operators, "OperatorId", 
                                "OperatorSign", number.OperatorId);                
    return View();
}

==> In View file (Create.cshtml):

<div class="form-group">
    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Number1, htmlAttributes: new { @class = 
                   "control-label col-md-2" })
    <div class="col-md-10">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Number1, new { htmlAttributes = new { 
                        @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Number1, "", new { @class = 
                                   "text-danger" })
    </div>
</div>

Now if we remove this statement:

ViewBag.OperatorId = new SelectList(db.Operators, "OperatorId", "OperatorSign", number.OperatorId);

from back of the following statement (in our controller) :

return View();

we will see this error:

There is no ViewData item of type 'IEnumerable' that has the key 'OperatorId'.

* So be sure of the existing of these statements. *

define a List like List<int,string>?

With the new ValueTuple from C# 7 (VS 2017 and above), there is a new solution:

List<(int,string)> mylist= new List<(int,string)>();

Which creates a list of ValueTuple type. If you're targeting .Net Framework 4.7+ or .Net Core, it's native, otherwise you have to get the ValueTuple package from nuget.

It's a struct opposing to Tuple, which is a class. It also has the advantage over the Tuple class that you could create a named tuple, like this:

var mylist = new List<(int myInt, string myString)>();

That way you can access like mylist[0].myInt and mylist[0].myString

what is reverse() in Django

The reverse() is used to adhere the django DRY principle i.e if you change the url in future then you can reference that url using reverse(urlname).

AngularJS POST Fails: Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 404

You have enabled CORS and enabled Access-Control-Allow-Origin : * in the server.If still you get GET method working and POST method is not working then it might be because of the problem of Content-Type and data problem.

First AngularJS transmits data using Content-Type: application/json which is not serialized natively by some of the web servers (notably PHP). For them we have to transmit the data as Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded

Example :-

        $scope.formLoginPost = function () {
            $http({
                url: url,
                method: "POST",
                data: $.param({ 'username': $scope.username, 'Password': $scope.Password }),
                headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
            }).then(function (response) {
                // success
                console.log('success');
                console.log("then : " + JSON.stringify(response));
            }, function (response) { // optional
                // failed
                console.log('failed');
                console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
            });
        };

Note : I am using $.params to serialize the data to use Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded. Alternatively you can use the following javascript function

function params(obj){
    var str = "";
    for (var key in obj) {
        if (str != "") {
            str += "&";
        }
        str += key + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[key]);
    }
    return str;
}

and use params({ 'username': $scope.username, 'Password': $scope.Password }) to serialize it as the Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded requests only gets the POST data in username=john&Password=12345 form.

How do I kill an Activity when the Back button is pressed?

public boolean onKeyDown(int keycode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
        moveTaskToBack(true);
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keycode, event);
}

My app closed with above code.

Wait for a void async method

The best solution is to use async Task. You should avoid async void for several reasons, one of which is composability.

If the method cannot be made to return Task (e.g., it's an event handler), then you can use SemaphoreSlim to have the method signal when it is about to exit. Consider doing this in a finally block.

Condition within JOIN or WHERE

The relational algebra allows interchangeability of the predicates in the WHERE clause and the INNER JOIN, so even INNER JOIN queries with WHERE clauses can have the predicates rearrranged by the optimizer so that they may already be excluded during the JOIN process.

I recommend you write the queries in the most readable way possible.

Sometimes this includes making the INNER JOIN relatively "incomplete" and putting some of the criteria in the WHERE simply to make the lists of filtering criteria more easily maintainable.

For example, instead of:

SELECT *
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN CustomerAccounts ca
    ON ca.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
    AND c.State = 'NY'
INNER JOIN Accounts a
    ON ca.AccountID = a.AccountID
    AND a.Status = 1

Write:

SELECT *
FROM Customers c
INNER JOIN CustomerAccounts ca
    ON ca.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
INNER JOIN Accounts a
    ON ca.AccountID = a.AccountID
WHERE c.State = 'NY'
    AND a.Status = 1

But it depends, of course.

How to remove specific elements in a numpy array

There is a numpy built-in function to help with that.

import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> b = np.array([3,4,7])
>>> c = np.setdiff1d(a,b)
>>> c
array([1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9])

Comparison of full text search engine - Lucene, Sphinx, Postgresql, MySQL?

Good to see someone's chimed in about Lucene - because I've no idea about that.

Sphinx, on the other hand, I know quite well, so let's see if I can be of some help.

  • Result relevance ranking is the default. You can set up your own sorting should you wish, and give specific fields higher weightings.
  • Indexing speed is super-fast, because it talks directly to the database. Any slowness will come from complex SQL queries and un-indexed foreign keys and other such problems. I've never noticed any slowness in searching either.
  • I'm a Rails guy, so I've no idea how easy it is to implement with Django. There is a Python API that comes with the Sphinx source though.
  • The search service daemon (searchd) is pretty low on memory usage - and you can set limits on how much memory the indexer process uses too.
  • Scalability is where my knowledge is more sketchy - but it's easy enough to copy index files to multiple machines and run several searchd daemons. The general impression I get from others though is that it's pretty damn good under high load, so scaling it out across multiple machines isn't something that needs to be dealt with.
  • There's no support for 'did-you-mean', etc - although these can be done with other tools easily enough. Sphinx does stem words though using dictionaries, so 'driving' and 'drive' (for example) would be considered the same in searches.
  • Sphinx doesn't allow partial index updates for field data though. The common approach to this is to maintain a delta index with all the recent changes, and re-index this after every change (and those new results appear within a second or two). Because of the small amount of data, this can take a matter of seconds. You will still need to re-index the main dataset regularly though (although how regularly depends on the volatility of your data - every day? every hour?). The fast indexing speeds keep this all pretty painless though.

I've no idea how applicable to your situation this is, but Evan Weaver compared a few of the common Rails search options (Sphinx, Ferret (a port of Lucene for Ruby) and Solr), running some benchmarks. Could be useful, I guess.

I've not plumbed the depths of MySQL's full-text search, but I know it doesn't compete speed-wise nor feature-wise with Sphinx, Lucene or Solr.
