Programs & Examples On #Color picker

A color picker is a widget used to preview and test color values.

Color picker utility (color pipette) in Ubuntu

I recommend GPick:

sudo apt-get install gpick

Applications -> Graphics -> GPick

It has many more features than gcolor2 but is still extremely simple to use: click on one of the hex swatches, move your mouse around the screen over the colours you want to pick, then press the Space bar to add to your swatch list.

If that doesn't work, another way is to click-and-drag from the centre of the hexagon and release your mouse over the pixel that you want to sample. Then immediately hit Space to copy that color into the next swatch in rotation.

It also has a traditional colour picker (like gcolor2) in the bottom right-hand corner of the window to allow you to pick individual colours with magnification.

jQuery UI Color Picker

Make sure you have jQuery UI base and the color picker widget included on your page (as well as a copy of jQuery 1.3):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/themes/flora/flora.all.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="Flora (Default)">

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ui.colorpicker.js"></script>

If you have those included, try posting your source so we can see what's going on.

How to automatically generate N "distinct" colors?

Here's a solution to managed your "distinct" issue, which is entirely overblown:

Create a unit sphere and drop points on it with repelling charges. Run a particle system until they no longer move (or the delta is "small enough"). At this point, each of the points are as far away from each other as possible. Convert (x, y, z) to rgb.

I mention it because for certain classes of problems, this type of solution can work better than brute force.

I originally saw this approach here for tesselating a sphere.

Again, the most obvious solutions of traversing HSL space or RGB space will probably work just fine.

SELECT INTO using Oracle

select into is used in pl/sql to set a variable to field values. Instead, use

create table new_table as select * from old_table

scale fit mobile web content using viewport meta tag

In the head add this

//Include jQuery
<meta id="Viewport" name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
  var ww = ( $(window).width() < window.screen.width ) ? $(window).width() : window.screen.width; //get proper width
  var mw = 480; // min width of site
  var ratio =  ww / mw; //calculate ratio
  if( ww < mw){ //smaller than minimum size
   $('#Viewport').attr('content', 'initial-scale=' + ratio + ', maximum-scale=' + ratio + ', minimum-scale=' + ratio + ', user-scalable=yes, width=' + ww);
  }else{ //regular size
   $('#Viewport').attr('content', 'initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=2, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes, width=' + ww);
  }
}
});
</script>

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

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

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

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

Reading json files in C++

You can use c++ boost::property_tree::ptree for parsing json data. here is the example for your json data. this would be more easy if you shift name inside each child nodes

#include <iostream>                                                             
#include <string>                                                               
#include <tuple>                                                                

#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>                                        
#include <boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp> 
 int main () {

    namespace pt = boost::property_tree;

    pt::read_json("example.json", loadPtreeRoot);                               
    std::vector<std::tuple<std::string, std::string, std::string>> people;      

    pt::ptree temp ;                                                            
    pt::ptree tage ;

    //Get Second child                                                          
    temp = loadPtreeRoot.get_child("Ben");                                      
    tage = temp.get_child("age");                                               
    tprofession = temp.get_child("profession");                                 

    age =  tage.get_value<std::string>();                                       
    profession  =  tprofession.get_value<std::string>();

How to change the background-color of jumbrotron?

You can use the following to change the background-color of a Jumbotron:

<div class="container">
    <div class="jumbotron text-white" style="background-color: #8c6278;">
        <h1>Coffee lover project !</h1>
    </div>
</div>

Why is this error, 'Sequence contains no elements', happening?

In the following line.

temp.Response = db.Responses.Where(y => y.ResponseId.Equals(item.ResponseId)).First();

You are calling First but the collection returned from db.Responses.Where is empty.

How to compare objects by multiple fields

Following blog given good chained Comparator example

http://www.codejava.net/java-core/collections/sorting-a-list-by-multiple-attributes-example

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * This is a chained comparator that is used to sort a list by multiple
 * attributes by chaining a sequence of comparators of individual fields
 * together.
 *
 */
public class EmployeeChainedComparator implements Comparator<Employee> {

    private List<Comparator<Employee>> listComparators;

    @SafeVarargs
    public EmployeeChainedComparator(Comparator<Employee>... comparators) {
        this.listComparators = Arrays.asList(comparators);
    }

    @Override
    public int compare(Employee emp1, Employee emp2) {
        for (Comparator<Employee> comparator : listComparators) {
            int result = comparator.compare(emp1, emp2);
            if (result != 0) {
                return result;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }
}

Calling Comparator:

Collections.sort(listEmployees, new EmployeeChainedComparator(
                new EmployeeJobTitleComparator(),
                new EmployeeAgeComparator(),
                new EmployeeSalaryComparator())
        );

How to use XPath preceding-sibling correctly

I also like to build locators from up to bottom like:

//div[contains(@class,'btn-group')][./button[contains(.,'Arcade Reader')]]/button[@name='settings']

It's pretty simple, as we just search btn-group with button[contains(.,'Arcade Reader')] and get it's button[@name='settings']

That's just another option to build xPath locators

What is the profit of searching wrapper element: you can return it by method (example in java) and just build selenium constructions like:

getGroupByName("Arcade Reader").find("button[name='settings']");
getGroupByName("Arcade Reader").find("button[name='delete']");

or even simplify more

getGroupButton("Arcade Reader", "delete").click();

When to use which design pattern?

Learn them and slowly you'll be able to reconize and figure out when to use them. Start with something simple as the singleton pattern :)

if you want to create one instance of an object and just ONE. You use the singleton pattern. Let's say you're making a program with an options object. You don't want several of those, that would be silly. Singleton makes sure that there will never be more than one. Singleton pattern is simple, used a lot, and really effective.

How does data binding work in AngularJS?

By dirty checking the $scope object

Angular maintains a simple array of watchers in the $scope objects. If you inspect any $scope you will find that it contains an array called $$watchers.

Each watcher is an object that contains among other things

  1. An expression which the watcher is monitoring. This might just be an attribute name, or something more complicated.
  2. A last known value of the expression. This can be checked against the current computed value of the expression. If the values differ the watcher will trigger the function and mark the $scope as dirty.
  3. A function which will be executed if the watcher is dirty.

How watchers are defined

There are many different ways of defining a watcher in AngularJS.

  • You can explicitly $watch an attribute on $scope.

      $scope.$watch('person.username', validateUnique);
    
  • You can place a {{}} interpolation in your template (a watcher will be created for you on the current $scope).

      <p>username: {{person.username}}</p>
    
  • You can ask a directive such as ng-model to define the watcher for you.

      <input ng-model="person.username" />
    

The $digest cycle checks all watchers against their last value

When we interact with AngularJS through the normal channels (ng-model, ng-repeat, etc) a digest cycle will be triggered by the directive.

A digest cycle is a depth-first traversal of $scope and all its children. For each $scope object, we iterate over its $$watchers array and evaluate all the expressions. If the new expression value is different from the last known value, the watcher's function is called. This function might recompile part of the DOM, recompute a value on $scope, trigger an AJAX request, anything you need it to do.

Every scope is traversed and every watch expression evaluated and checked against the last value.

If a watcher is triggered, the $scope is dirty

If a watcher is triggered, the app knows something has changed, and the $scope is marked as dirty.

Watcher functions can change other attributes on $scope or on a parent $scope. If one $watcher function has been triggered, we can't guarantee that our other $scopes are still clean, and so we execute the entire digest cycle again.

This is because AngularJS has two-way binding, so data can be passed back up the $scope tree. We may change a value on a higher $scope that has already been digested. Perhaps we change a value on the $rootScope.

If the $digest is dirty, we execute the entire $digest cycle again

We continually loop through the $digest cycle until either the digest cycle comes up clean (all $watch expressions have the same value as they had in the previous cycle), or we reach the digest limit. By default, this limit is set at 10.

If we reach the digest limit AngularJS will raise an error in the console:

10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!

The digest is hard on the machine but easy on the developer

As you can see, every time something changes in an AngularJS app, AngularJS will check every single watcher in the $scope hierarchy to see how to respond. For a developer this is a massive productivity boon, as you now need to write almost no wiring code, AngularJS will just notice if a value has changed, and make the rest of the app consistent with the change.

From the perspective of the machine though this is wildly inefficient and will slow our app down if we create too many watchers. Misko has quoted a figure of about 4000 watchers before your app will feel slow on older browsers.

This limit is easy to reach if you ng-repeat over a large JSON array for example. You can mitigate against this using features like one-time binding to compile a template without creating watchers.

How to avoid creating too many watchers

Each time your user interacts with your app, every single watcher in your app will be evaluated at least once. A big part of optimising an AngularJS app is reducing the number of watchers in your $scope tree. One easy way to do this is with one time binding.

If you have data which will rarely change, you can bind it only once using the :: syntax, like so:

<p>{{::person.username}}</p>

or

<p ng-bind="::person.username"></p>

The binding will only be triggered when the containing template is rendered and the data loaded into $scope.

This is especially important when you have an ng-repeat with many items.

<div ng-repeat="person in people track by username">
  {{::person.username}}
</div>

comparing elements of the same array in java

Try this or purpose will solve with lesser no of steps

for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) 
{
    for (int k = i+1; k < a.length; k++) 
    {
        if (a[i] != a[k]) 
         {
            System.out.println(a[i]+"not the same with"+a[k]+"\n");
        }
    }
}

Generate Json schema from XML schema (XSD)

Disclaimer: I am the author of Jsonix, a powerful open-source XML<->JSON JavaScript mapping library.

Today I've released the new version of the Jsonix Schema Compiler, with the new JSON Schema generation feature.

Let's take the Purchase Order schema for example. Here's a fragment:

  <xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>

  <xsd:complexType name="PurchaseOrderType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="shipTo" type="USAddress"/>
      <xsd:element name="billTo" type="USAddress"/>
      <xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xsd:element name="items"  type="Items"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:attribute name="orderDate" type="xsd:date"/>
  </xsd:complexType>

You can compile this schema using the provided command-line tool:

java -jar jsonix-schema-compiler-full.jar
    -generateJsonSchema
    -p PO
    schemas/purchaseorder.xsd

The compiler generates Jsonix mappings as well the matching JSON Schema.

Here's what the result looks like (edited for brevity):

{
    "id":"PurchaseOrder.jsonschema#",
    "definitions":{
        "PurchaseOrderType":{
            "type":"object",
            "title":"PurchaseOrderType",
            "properties":{
                "shipTo":{
                    "title":"shipTo",
                    "allOf":[
                        {
                            "$ref":"#/definitions/USAddress"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                "billTo":{
                    "title":"billTo",
                    "allOf":[
                        {
                            "$ref":"#/definitions/USAddress"
                        }
                    ]
                }, ...
            }
        },
        "USAddress":{ ... }, ...
    },
    "anyOf":[
        {
            "type":"object",
            "properties":{
                "name":{
                    "$ref":"http://www.jsonix.org/jsonschemas/w3c/2001/XMLSchema.jsonschema#/definitions/QName"
                },
                "value":{
                    "$ref":"#/definitions/PurchaseOrderType"
                }
            },
            "elementName":{
                "localPart":"purchaseOrder",
                "namespaceURI":""
            }
        }
    ]
}

Now this JSON Schema is derived from the original XML Schema. It is not exactly 1:1 transformation, but very very close.

The generated JSON Schema matches the generatd Jsonix mappings. So if you use Jsonix for XML<->JSON conversion, you should be able to validate JSON with the generated JSON Schema. It also contains all the required metadata from the originating XML Schema (like element, attribute and type names).

Disclaimer: At the moment this is a new and experimental feature. There are certain known limitations and missing functionality. But I'm expecting this to manifest and mature very fast.

HTML5 record audio to file

Update now Chrome also supports MediaRecorder API from v47. The same thing to do would be to use it( guessing native recording method is bound to be faster than work arounds), the API is really easy to use, and you would find tons of answers as to how to upload a blob for the server.

Demo - would work in Chrome and Firefox, intentionally left out pushing blob to server...

Code Source


Currently, there are three ways to do it:

  1. as wav[ all code client-side, uncompressed recording], you can check out --> Recorderjs. Problem: file size is quite big, more upload bandwidth required.
  2. as mp3[ all code client-side, compressed recording], you can check out --> mp3Recorder. Problem: personally, I find the quality bad, also there is this licensing issue.
  3. as ogg [ client+ server(node.js) code, compressed recording, infinite hours of recording without browser crash ], you can check out --> recordOpus, either only client-side recording, or client-server bundling, the choice is yours.

    ogg recording example( only firefox):

    var mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
    mediaRecorder.start();  // to start recording.    
    ...
    mediaRecorder.stop();   // to stop recording.
    mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function(e) {
        // do something with the data.
    }
    

    Fiddle Demo for ogg recording.

Flatten nested dictionaries, compressing keys

If you're using pandas there is a function hidden in pandas.io.json._normalize1 called nested_to_record which does this exactly.

from pandas.io.json._normalize import nested_to_record    

flat = nested_to_record(my_dict, sep='_')

1 In pandas versions 0.24.x and older use pandas.io.json.normalize (without the _)

How to uninstall Python 2.7 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4?

Do not attempt to remove any Apple-supplied system Python which are in /System/Library and /usr/bin, as this may break your whole operating system.


NOTE: The steps listed below do not affect the Apple-supplied system Python 2.7; they only remove a third-party Python framework, like those installed by python.org installers.


The complete list is documented here. Basically, all you need to do is the following:

  1. Remove the third-party Python 2.7 framework

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
    
  2. Remove the Python 2.7 applications directory

    sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Python 2.7"
    
  3. Remove the symbolic links, in /usr/local/bin, that point to this Python version. See them using

    ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep '../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7' 
    

    and then run the following command to remove all the links:

    cd /usr/local/bin/
    ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep '../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7' | awk '{print $9}' | tr -d @ | xargs rm
    
  4. If necessary, edit your shell profile file(s) to remove adding /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 to your PATH environment file. Depending on which shell you use, any of the following files may have been modified: ~/.bash_login, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.cshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.tcshrc, and/or ~/.zprofile.

Can .NET load and parse a properties file equivalent to Java Properties class?

I don't know of any built-in way to do this. However, it would seem easy enough to do, since the only delimiters you have to worry about are the newline character and the equals sign.

It would be very easy to write a routine that will return a NameValueCollection, or an IDictionary given the contents of the file.

Parenthesis/Brackets Matching using Stack algorithm

public static boolean isBalanced(String s) {
    Map<Character, Character> openClosePair = new HashMap<Character, Character>();
    openClosePair.put('(', ')');
    openClosePair.put('{', '}');
    openClosePair.put('[', ']'); 

    Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {

        if (openClosePair.containsKey(s.charAt(i))) {
            stack.push(s.charAt(i));

        } else if ( openClosePair.containsValue(s.charAt(i))) {
            if (stack.isEmpty())
                return false;
            if (openClosePair.get(stack.pop()) != s.charAt(i))
                return false;
        }

        // ignore all other characters

    }
    return stack.isEmpty();
}

How do I get the last word in each line with bash

tldr;

$ awk '{print $NF}' file.txt | paste -sd, | sed 's/,/, /g'

For a file like this

$ cat file.txt
The quick brown fox
jumps over
the lazy dog.

the given command will print

fox, over, dog.

How it works:

  • awk '{print $NF}' : prints the last field of every line
  • paste -sd, : reads stdin serially (-s, one file at a time) and writes fields comma-delimited (-d,)
  • sed 's/,/, /g' : substitutes "," with ", " globally (for all instances)

As others suggest __repr__,__str__ or even __init__ (somehow) CAN give you what you want, But __new__ will be a semantically better solution for your purpose since you want the actual object to be returned and not just the string representation of it.

Read this answer for more insights into __str__ and __repr__ https://stackoverflow.com/a/19331543/4985585

class MyClass():
    def __new__(cls):
        return list() #or anything you want

>>> MyClass()
[]   #Returns a true list not a repr or string

How to compare two java objects

You have to correctly override method equals() from class Object

Edit: I think that my first response was misunderstood probably because I was not too precise. So I decided to to add more explanations.

Why do you have to override equals()? Well, because this is in the domain of a developer to decide what does it mean for two objects to be equal. Reference equality is not enough for most of the cases.

For example, imagine that you have a HashMap whose keys are of type Person. Each person has name and address. Now, you want to find detailed bean using the key. The problem is, that you usually are not able to create an instance with the same reference as the one in the map. What you do is to create another instance of class Person. Clearly, operator == will not work here and you have to use equals().

But now, we come to another problem. Let's imagine that your collection is very large and you want to execute a search. The naive implementation would compare your key object with every instance in a map using equals(). That, however, would be very expansive. And here comes the hashCode(). As others pointed out, hashcode is a single number that does not have to be unique. The important requirement is that whenever equals() gives true for two objects, hashCode() must return the same value for both of them. The inverse implication does not hold, which is a good thing, because hashcode separates our keys into kind of buckets. We have a small number of instances of class Person in a single bucket. When we execute a search, the algorithm can jump right away to a correct bucket and only now execute equals for each instance. The implementation for hashCode() therefore must distribute objects as evenly as possible across buckets.

There is one more point. Some collections require a proper implementation of a hashCode() method in classes that are used as keys not only for performance reasons. The examples are: HashSet and LinkedHashSet. If they don’t override hashCode(), the default Object hashCode() method will allow multiple objects that you might consider "meaningfully equal" to be added to your "no duplicates allowed" set.

Some of the collections that use hashCode()

  • HashSet
  • LinkedHashSet
  • HashMap

Have a look at those two classes from apache commons that will allow you to implement equals() and hashCode() easily

How to close a GUI when I push a JButton?

See JFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE)1. You might also use EXIT_ON_CLOSE, but it is better to explicitly clean up any running threads, then when the last GUI element becomes invisible, the EDT & JRE will end.

The 'button' to invoke this operation is already on a frame.

  1. See this answer to How to best position Swing GUIs? for a demo. of the DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE functionality.

    The JRE will end after all 3 frames are closed by clicking the X button.

Delete a single record from Entity Framework?

The best way is to check and then delete

        if (ctx.Employ.Any(r=>r.Id == entity.Id))
        {
            Employ rec = new Employ() { Id = entity.Id };
            ctx.Entry(rec).State = EntityState.Deleted;
            ctx.SaveChanges();
        }

Problem solved after restarting the tomcat and apache, the tomcat was caching older version of the app.

Including all the jars in a directory within the Java classpath

The only way I know how is to do it individually, for example:

Editable 'Select' element

Based on the other answers, here is a first draft for usage with knockout:

Usage

      <div data-bind="editableSelect: {options: optionsObservable, value: nameObservable}"></div>

Knockout data binding

composition.addBindingHandler('editableSelect',
  {
    init: function(hostElement, valueAccessor) {

      var optionsObservable = getOptionsObservable();
      var valueObservable = getValueObservable();

      var $editableSelect = $(hostElement);
      $editableSelect.addClass('select-editable');

      var editableSelect = $editableSelect[0];

      var viewModel = new editableSelectViewModel(optionsObservable, valueObservable);
      ko.applyBindingsToNode(editableSelect, { compose: viewModel });

      //tell knockout to not apply bindings twice
      return { controlsDescendantBindings: true };

      function getOptionsObservable() {
        var accessor = valueAccessor();
        return getAttribute(accessor, 'options');
      }

      function getValueObservable() {
        var accessor = valueAccessor();
        return getAttribute(accessor, 'value');
      }
    }
  });

View

<select
  data-bind="options: options, event:{ focus: resetComboBoxValue, change: setTextFieldValue} "
  id="comboBox"
  ></select>
<input
  data-bind="value: value, , event:{ focus: textFieldGotFocus, focusout: textFieldLostFocus}"
  id="textField"
  type="text"/>

ViewModel

define([
  'lodash',
  'services/errorHandler'
], function(
  _,
  errorhandler
) {

  var viewModel = function(optionsObservable, valueObservable) {

    var self = this;
    self.options = optionsObservable();
    self.value = valueObservable;
    self.resetComboBoxValue = resetComboBoxValue;
    self.setTextFieldValue = setTextFieldValue;
    self.textFieldGotFocus = textFieldGotFocus;
    self.textFieldLostFocus = textFieldLostFocus;

    function resetComboBoxValue() {
      $('#comboBox').val(null);
    }

    function setTextFieldValue() {
      var selection = $('#comboBox').val();
      self.value(selection);
    }

    function textFieldGotFocus() {
      $('#comboBox').addClass('select-editable-input-focus');

    }

    function textFieldLostFocus() {
      $('#comboBox').removeClass('select-editable-input-focus');
    }

  };
  errorhandler.includeIn(viewModel);

  return viewModel;
});

BigDecimal setScale and round

There is indeed a big difference, which you should keep in mind. setScale really set the scale of your number whereas round does round your number to the specified digits BUT it "starts from the leftmost digit of exact result" as mentioned within the jdk. So regarding your sample the results are the same, but try 0.0034 instead. Here's my note about that on my blog:

Where's my JSON data in my incoming Django request?

Method 1

Client : Send as JSON

$.ajax({
    url: 'example.com/ajax/',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    processData: false,
    data: JSON.stringify({'name':'John', 'age': 42}),
    ...
});

//Sent as a JSON object {'name':'John', 'age': 42}

Server :

data = json.loads(request.body) # {'name':'John', 'age': 42}

Method 2

Client : Send as x-www-form-urlencoded
(Note: contentType & processData have changed, JSON.stringify is not needed)

$.ajax({
    url: 'example.com/ajax/',
    type: 'POST',    
    data: {'name':'John', 'age': 42},
    contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8',  //Default
    processData: true,       
});

//Sent as a query string name=John&age=42

Server :

data = request.POST # will be <QueryDict: {u'name':u'John', u'age': 42}>

Changed in 1.5+ : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5/#non-form-data-in-http-requests

Non-form data in HTTP requests :
request.POST will no longer include data posted via HTTP requests with non form-specific content-types in the header. In prior versions, data posted with content-types other than multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded would still end up represented in the request.POST attribute. Developers wishing to access the raw POST data for these cases, should use the request.body attribute instead.

How to solve munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer error in C++

This happens when the pointer passed to free() is not valid or has been modified somehow. I don't really know the details here. The bottom line is that the pointer passed to free() must be the same as returned by malloc(), realloc() and their friends. It's not always easy to spot what the problem is for a novice in their own code or even deeper in a library. In my case, it was a simple case of an undefined (uninitialized) pointer related to branching.

The free() function frees the memory space pointed to by ptr, which must have been returned by a previous call to malloc(), calloc() or realloc(). Otherwise, or if free(ptr) has already been called before, undefined behavior occurs. If ptr is NULL, no operation is performed. GNU 2012-05-10 MALLOC(3)

char *words; // setting this to NULL would have prevented the issue

if (condition) {
    words = malloc( 512 );

    /* calling free sometime later works here */

    free(words)
} else {

    /* do not allocate words in this branch */
}

/* free(words);  -- error here --
*** glibc detected *** ./bin: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb________ ***/

There are many similar questions here about the related free() and rellocate() functions. Some notable answers providing more details:

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x0a03c978 ***
*** glibc detected *** sendip: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x09da25e8 ***
glibc detected, realloc(): invalid pointer


IMHO running everything in a debugger (Valgrind) is not the best option because errors like this are often caused by inept or novice programmers. It's more productive to figure out the issue manually and learn how to avoid it in the future.

Invoking a static method using reflection

How do you change the document font in LaTeX?

For a different approach, I would suggest using the XeTeX or LuaTex system. They allow you to access system fonts (TrueType, OpenType, etc) and set font features. In a typical LaTeX document, you just need to include this in your headers:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text,Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setmainfont{Times}
\setmonofont{Lucida Sans Typewriter}

It's the fontspec package that allows for \setmainfont and \setmonofont. The ability to choose a multitude of font features is beyond my expertise, but I would suggest looking up some examples and seeing if this would suit your needs.

Just don't forget to replace your favorite latex compiler by the appropriate one (xelatex or lualatex).

Detect if range is empty

If you find yourself in a situation where you can’t use CountA then it's much faster to first store your range as an array and loop on the array data than it is to loop on range/cell data.

Function IsRangeEmpty(ByVal rng As Range) As Boolean
    'Converts a range to an array and returns true if a value is found in said array
    
    Dim area As Range
    For Each area In rng.Areas
        
        If area.Cells.Count > 1 Then
        
            'save range as array
            Dim arr As Variant
            arr = area.value
            
            'loop through array
            Dim cel As Variant
            For Each cel In arr
            
                'if cell is not empty then
                If Len(Trim(cel)) > 0 Then
                    IsRangeEmpty = False
                    Exit Function
                End If

            Next cel
            
        Else    'cannot loop on array with one value
            
            'if cell is not empty then
            If Len(Trim(area.Value2)) > 0 Then
                IsRangeEmpty = False
                Exit Function
            End If
            
        End If

    Next area

    IsRangeEmpty = True

End Function

Example of how to use it:

Sub Test()
    Debug.Print IsRangeEmpty(Range("A38:P38"))
End Sub

If Range("A38:P38") is empty, it would print True in the Immediate Window; otherwise it'd print False.

How to solve a pair of nonlinear equations using Python?

Short answer: use fsolve

As mentioned in other answers the simplest solution to the particular problem you have posed is to use something like fsolve:

from scipy.optimize import fsolve
from math import exp

def equations(vars):
    x, y = vars
    eq1 = x+y**2-4
    eq2 = exp(x) + x*y - 3
    return [eq1, eq2]

x, y =  fsolve(equations, (1, 1))

print(x, y)

Output:

0.6203445234801195 1.8383839306750887

Analytic solutions?

You say how to "solve" but there are different kinds of solution. Since you mention SymPy I should point out the biggest difference between what this could mean which is between analytic and numeric solutions. The particular example you have given is one that does not have an (easy) analytic solution but other systems of nonlinear equations do. When there are readily available analytic solutions SymPY can often find them for you:

from sympy import *

x, y = symbols('x, y')
eq1 = Eq(x+y**2, 4)
eq2 = Eq(x**2 + y, 4)

sol = solve([eq1, eq2], [x, y])

Output:

?? ?  5   v17? ?3   v17?    v17   1?  ? ?  5   v17? ?3   v17?    1   v17?  ? ?  3   v13? ?v13   5?  1   v13?  ? ?5   v13? ?  v13   3?  1   v13??
??-?- - - ---?·?- - ---?, - --- - -?, ?-?- - + ---?·?- + ---?, - - + ---?, ?-?- - + ---?·?--- + -?, - + ---?, ?-?- - ---?·?- --- - -?, - - ---??
?? ?  2    2 ? ?2    2 ?     2    2?  ? ?  2    2 ? ?2    2 ?    2    2 ?  ? ?  2    2 ? ? 2    2?  2    2 ?  ? ?2    2 ? ?   2    2?  2    2 ??

Note that in this example SymPy finds all solutions and does not need to be given an initial estimate.

You can evaluate these solutions numerically with evalf:

soln = [tuple(v.evalf() for v in s) for s in sol]
[(-2.56155281280883, -2.56155281280883), (1.56155281280883, 1.56155281280883), (-1.30277563773199, 2.30277563773199), (2.30277563773199, -1.30277563773199)]

Precision of numeric solutions

However most systems of nonlinear equations will not have a suitable analytic solution so using SymPy as above is great when it works but not generally applicable. That is why we end up looking for numeric solutions even though with numeric solutions: 1) We have no guarantee that we have found all solutions or the "right" solution when there are many. 2) We have to provide an initial guess which isn't always easy.

Having accepted that we want numeric solutions something like fsolve will normally do all you need. For this kind of problem SymPy will probably be much slower but it can offer something else which is finding the (numeric) solutions more precisely:

from sympy import *

x, y = symbols('x, y')
nsolve([Eq(x+y**2, 4), Eq(exp(x)+x*y, 3)], [x, y], [1, 1])
?0.620344523485226?
?                 ?
?1.83838393066159 ?

With greater precision:

nsolve([Eq(x+y**2, 4), Eq(exp(x)+x*y, 3)], [x, y], [1, 1], prec=50)
?0.62034452348522585617392716579154399314071550594401?
?                                                    ?
? 1.838383930661594459049793153371142549403114879699 ?

Select distinct values from a table field

In addition to the still very relevant answer of jujule, I find it quite important to also be aware of the implications of order_by() on distinct("field_name") queries. This is, however, a Postgres only feature!

If you are using Postgres and if you define a field name that the query should be distinct for, then order_by() needs to begin with the same field name (or field names) in the same sequence (there may be more fields afterward).

Note

When you specify field names, you must provide an order_by() in the QuerySet, and the fields in order_by() must start with the fields in distinct(), in the same order.

For example, SELECT DISTINCT ON (a) gives you the first row for each value in column a. If you don’t specify an order, you’ll get some arbitrary row.

If you want to e-g- extract a list of cities that you know shops in , the example of jujule would have to be adapted to this:

# returns an iterable Queryset of cities.
models.Shop.objects.order_by('city').values_list('city', flat=True).distinct('city')  

Using LINQ to group by multiple properties and sum

Linus is spot on in the approach, but a few properties are off. It looks like 'AgencyContractId' is your Primary Key, which is unrelated to the output you want to give the user. I think this is what you want (assuming you change your ViewModel to match the data you say you want in your view).

var agencyContracts = _agencyContractsRepository.AgencyContracts
    .GroupBy(ac => new
                   {
                       ac.AgencyID,
                       ac.VendorID,
                       ac.RegionID
                   })
    .Select(ac => new AgencyContractViewModel
                   {
                       AgencyId = ac.Key.AgencyID,
                       VendorId = ac.Key.VendorID,
                       RegionId = ac.Key.RegionID,
                       Total = ac.Sum(acs => acs.Amount) + ac.Sum(acs => acs.Fee)
                   });

jquery - return value using ajax result on success

Although all the approaches regarding the use of async: false are not good because of its deprecation and stuck the page untill the request comes back. Thus here are 2 ways to do it:

1st: Return whole ajax response in a function and then make use of done function to capture the response when the request is completed.(RECOMMENDED, THE BEST WAY)

function getAjax(url, data){
    return $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url : url,              
        data: data,
        dataType: 'JSON',
        //async: true,  //NOT NEEDED
        success: function(response) {
            //Data = response;
        }
    });
 }

CALL THE ABOVE LIKE SO:

getAjax(youUrl, yourData).done(function(response){
    console.log(response);
});

FOR MULTIPLE AJAX CALLS MAKE USE OF $.when :

$.when( getAjax(youUrl, yourData), getAjax2(yourUrl2, yourData2) ).done(function(response){
    console.log(response);
});

2nd: Store the response in a cookie and then outside of the ajax call get that cookie value.(NOT RECOMMENDED)

        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url : url,              
            data: data,
            //async: false,    // No need to use this
            success: function(response) {
                Cookies.set(name, response);
            }
        });

        // Outside of the ajax call
        var response = Cookies.get(name);

NOTE: In the exmple above jquery cookies library is used.It is quite lightweight and works as snappy. Here is the link https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie

How to return a part of an array in Ruby?

GET and POST methods with the same Action name in the same Controller

I like to accept a form post for my POST actions, even if I don't need it. For me it just feels like the right thing to do as you're supposedly posting something.

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        //Code...
        return View();
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(FormCollection form)
    {
        //Code...
        return View();
    }
}

Given an array of numbers, return array of products of all other numbers (no division)

Based on Billz answer--sorry I can't comment, but here is a scala version that correctly handles duplicate items in the list, and is probably O(n):

val list1 = List(1, 7, 3, 3, 4, 4)
val view = list1.view.zipWithIndex map { x => list1.view.patch(x._2, Nil, 1).reduceLeft(_*_)}
view.force

returns:

List(1008, 144, 336, 336, 252, 252)

Linux Process States

A process performing I/O will be put in D state (uninterruptable sleep), which frees the CPU until there is a hardware interrupt which tells the CPU to return to executing the program. See man ps for the other process states.

Depending on your kernel, there is a process scheduler, which keeps track of a runqueue of processes ready to execute. It, along with a scheduling algorithm, tells the kernel which process to assign to which CPU. There are kernel processes and user processes to consider. Each process is allocated a time-slice, which is a chunk of CPU time it is allowed to use. Once the process uses all of its time-slice, it is marked as expired and given lower priority in the scheduling algorithm.

In the 2.6 kernel, there is a O(1) time complexity scheduler, so no matter how many processes you have up running, it will assign CPUs in constant time. It is more complicated though, since 2.6 introduced preemption and CPU load balancing is not an easy algorithm. In any case, it’s efficient and CPUs will not remain idle while you wait for the I/O.

CSS-Only Scrollable Table with fixed headers

Ive achieved this easily using this code :

So you have a structure like this :

<table>
<thead><tr></tr></thead>
<tbody><tr></tr></tbody>
</table>

just style the thead with :

<style>
thead{ 
    position: -webkit-sticky;
    position: -moz-sticky;
    position: -ms-sticky;
    position: -o-sticky;
    position: sticky;
    top: 0px;
}
</style>

Three things to consider :

First, this property is new. It’s not supported at all, apart from the beta builds of Webkit-based browsers. So caveat formator. Again, if you really want for your users to benefit from sticky headers, go with a javascript implementation.

Second, if you do use it, you’ll need to incorporate vendor prefixes. Perhaps position: sticky will work one day. For now, though, you need to use position:-webkit-sticky (and the others; check the block of css further up in this post).

Third, there aren’t any positioning defaults at the moment, so you need to at least include top: 0; in the same css declaration as the position:-webkit-sticky. Otherwise, it’ll just scroll off-screen.

NSRange to Range<String.Index>

Here's my best effort. But this cannot check or detect wrong input argument.

extension String {
    /// :r: Must correctly select proper UTF-16 code-unit range. Wrong range will produce wrong result.
    public func convertRangeFromNSRange(r:NSRange) -> Range<String.Index> {
        let a   =   (self as NSString).substringToIndex(r.location)
        let b   =   (self as NSString).substringWithRange(r)

        let n1  =   distance(a.startIndex, a.endIndex)
        let n2  =   distance(b.startIndex, b.endIndex)

        let i1  =   advance(startIndex, n1)
        let i2  =   advance(i1, n2)

        return  Range<String.Index>(start: i1, end: i2)
    }
}

let s   =   ""
println(s[s.convertRangeFromNSRange(NSRange(location: 4, length: 2))])      //  Proper range. Produces correct result.
println(s[s.convertRangeFromNSRange(NSRange(location: 0, length: 4))])      //  Proper range. Produces correct result.
println(s[s.convertRangeFromNSRange(NSRange(location: 0, length: 2))])      //  Improper range. Produces wrong result.
println(s[s.convertRangeFromNSRange(NSRange(location: 0, length: 1))])      //  Improper range. Produces wrong result.

Result.





Details

NSRange from NSString counts UTF-16 code-units. And Range<String.Index> from Swift String is an opaque relative type which provides only equality and navigation operations. This is intentionally hidden design.

Though the Range<String.Index> seem to be mapped to UTF-16 code-unit offset, that is just an implementation detail, and I couldn't find any mention about any guarantee. That means the implementation details can be changed at any time. Internal representation of Swift String is not pretty defined, and I cannot rely on it.

NSRange values can be directly mapped to String.UTF16View indexes. But there's no method to convert it into String.Index.

Swift String.Index is index to iterate Swift Character which is an Unicode grapheme cluster. Then, you must provide proper NSRange which selects correct grapheme clusters. If you provide wrong range like the above example, it will produce wrong result because proper grapheme cluster range couldn't be figured out.

If there's a guarantee that the String.Index is UTF-16 code-unit offset, then problem becomes simple. But it is unlikely to happen.

Inverse conversion

Anyway the inverse conversion can be done precisely.

extension String {
    /// O(1) if `self` is optimised to use UTF-16.
    /// O(n) otherwise.
    public func convertRangeToNSRange(r:Range<String.Index>) -> NSRange {
        let a   =   substringToIndex(r.startIndex)
        let b   =   substringWithRange(r)

        return  NSRange(location: a.utf16Count, length: b.utf16Count)
    }
}
println(convertRangeToNSRange(s.startIndex..<s.endIndex))
println(convertRangeToNSRange(s.startIndex.successor()..<s.endIndex))

Result.

How to use glOrtho() in OpenGL?

glOrtho describes a transformation that produces a parallel projection. The current matrix (see glMatrixMode) is multiplied by this matrix and the result replaces the current matrix, as if glMultMatrix were called with the following matrix as its argument:

OpenGL documentation (my bold)

The numbers define the locations of the clipping planes (left, right, bottom, top, near and far).

The "normal" projection is a perspective projection that provides the illusion of depth. Wikipedia defines a parallel projection as:

Parallel projections have lines of projection that are parallel both in reality and in the projection plane.

Parallel projection corresponds to a perspective projection with a hypothetical viewpoint—e.g., one where the camera lies an infinite distance away from the object and has an infinite focal length, or "zoom".

How to change colour of blue highlight on select box dropdown

I believe you are looking for the outline CSS property (in conjunction with active and hover psuedo attributes):

/* turn it off completely */
select:active, select:hover {
  outline: none
}

/* make it red instead (with with same width and style) */
select:active, select:hover {
  outline-color: red
}

How can I use/create dynamic template to compile dynamic Component with Angular 2.0?

In angular 7.x I used angular-elements for this.

  1. Install @angular-elements npm i @angular/elements -s

  2. Create accessory service.

import { Injectable, Injector } from '@angular/core';
import { createCustomElement } from '@angular/elements';
import { IStringAnyMap } from 'src/app/core/models';
import { AppUserIconComponent } from 'src/app/shared';

const COMPONENTS = {
  'user-icon': AppUserIconComponent
};

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class DynamicComponentsService {
  constructor(private injector: Injector) {

  }

  public register(): void {
    Object.entries(COMPONENTS).forEach(([key, component]: [string, any]) => {
      const CustomElement = createCustomElement(component, { injector: this.injector });
      customElements.define(key, CustomElement);
    });
  }

  public create(tagName: string, data: IStringAnyMap = {}): HTMLElement {
    const customEl = document.createElement(tagName);

    Object.entries(data).forEach(([key, value]: [string, any]) => {
      customEl[key] = value;
    });

    return customEl;
  }
}

Note that you custom element tag must be different with angular component selector. in AppUserIconComponent:

...
selector: app-user-icon
...

and in this case custom tag name I used "user-icon".

  1. Then you must call register in AppComponent:
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: '<router-outlet></router-outlet>'
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(   
    dynamicComponents: DynamicComponentsService,
  ) {
    dynamicComponents.register();
  }

}
  1. And now in any place of your code you can use it like this:
dynamicComponents.create('user-icon', {user:{...}});

or like this:

const html = `<div class="wrapper"><user-icon class="user-icon" user='${JSON.stringify(rec.user)}'></user-icon></div>`;

this.content = this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(html);

(in template):

<div class="comment-item d-flex" [innerHTML]="content"></div>

Note that in second case you must pass objects with JSON.stringify and after that parse it again. I can't find better solution.

How to pause a YouTube player when hiding the iframe?

The easiest way to implement this behaviour is by calling the pauseVideo and playVideo methods, when necessary. Inspired by the result of my previous answer, I have written a pluginless function to achieve the desired behaviour.

The only adjustments:

  • I have added a function, toggleVideo
  • I have added ?enablejsapi=1 to YouTube's URL, to enable the feature

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ZcMkt/
Code:

<script>
function toggleVideo(state) {
    // if state == 'hide', hide. Else: show video
    var div = document.getElementById("popupVid");
    var iframe = div.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].contentWindow;
    div.style.display = state == 'hide' ? 'none' : '';
    func = state == 'hide' ? 'pauseVideo' : 'playVideo';
    iframe.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"' + func + '","args":""}', '*');
}
</script>

<p><a href="javascript:;" onClick="toggleVideo();">Click here</a> to see my presenting showreel, to give you an idea of my style - usually described as authoritative, affable and and engaging.</p>

<!-- popup and contents -->
<div id="popupVid" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:87px;width:500px;background-color:#D05F27;height:auto;display:none;z-index:200;">
   <iframe width="500" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T39hYJAwR40?enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   <br /><br />
   <a href="javascript:;" onClick="toggleVideo('hide');">close</a>

Import local function from a module housed in another directory with relative imports in Jupyter Notebook using Python 3

I have found that python-dotenv helps solve this issue pretty effectively. Your project structure ends up changing slightly, but the code in your notebook is a bit simpler and consistent across notebooks.

For your project, do a little install.

pipenv install python-dotenv

Then, project changes to:

+-- .env (this can be empty)
+-- ipynb
¦   +-- 20170609-Examine_Database_Requirements.ipynb
¦   +-- 20170609-Initial_Database_Connection.ipynb
+-- lib
    +-- __init__.py
    +-- postgres.py

And finally, your import changes to:

import os
import sys

from dotenv import find_dotenv


sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(find_dotenv()))

A +1 for this package is that your notebooks can be several directories deep. python-dotenv will find the closest one in a parent directory and use it. A +2 for this approach is that jupyter will load environment variables from the .env file on startup. Double whammy.

Mapping over values in a python dictionary

To avoid doing indexing from inside lambda, like:

rval = dict(map(lambda kv : (kv[0], ' '.join(kv[1])), rval.iteritems()))

You can also do:

Yahoo Finance All Currencies quote API Documentation

I have used this URL to obtain multiple currency market quotes.

"USD",1.0000
"CAD",1.2458
"EUR",0.8396

They can be parsed in PHP like this:

$symbols = ['USD=X', 'CAD=X', 'EUR=X'];
$url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&f=c4l1&s=".join($symbols, ',');

$quote = array_map( 'str_getcsv', file($url) );

foreach ($quote as $key => $symb) {
    $symbol = $quote[$key][0];
    $value = $quote[$key][1];

NULL values inside NOT IN clause

It may be concluded from answers here that NOT IN (subquery) doesn't handle nulls correctly and should be avoided in favour of NOT EXISTS. However, such a conclusion may be premature. In the following scenario, credited to Chris Date (Database Programming and Design, Vol 2 No 9, September 1989), it is NOT IN that handles nulls correctly and returns the correct result, rather than NOT EXISTS.

Consider a table sp to represent suppliers (sno) who are known to supply parts (pno) in quantity (qty). The table currently holds the following values:

      VALUES ('S1', 'P1', NULL), 
             ('S2', 'P1', 200),
             ('S3', 'P1', 1000)

Note that quantity is nullable i.e. to be able to record the fact a supplier is known to supply parts even if it is not known in what quantity.

The task is to find the suppliers who are known supply part number 'P1' but not in quantities of 1000.

The following uses NOT IN to correctly identify supplier 'S2' only:

WITH sp AS 
     ( SELECT * 
         FROM ( VALUES ( 'S1', 'P1', NULL ), 
                       ( 'S2', 'P1', 200 ),
                       ( 'S3', 'P1', 1000 ) )
              AS T ( sno, pno, qty )
     )
SELECT DISTINCT spx.sno
  FROM sp spx
 WHERE spx.pno = 'P1'
       AND 1000 NOT IN (
                        SELECT spy.qty
                          FROM sp spy
                         WHERE spy.sno = spx.sno
                               AND spy.pno = 'P1'
                       );

However, the below query uses the same general structure but with NOT EXISTS but incorrectly includes supplier 'S1' in the result (i.e. for which the quantity is null):

WITH sp AS 
     ( SELECT * 
         FROM ( VALUES ( 'S1', 'P1', NULL ), 
                       ( 'S2', 'P1', 200 ),
                       ( 'S3', 'P1', 1000 ) )
              AS T ( sno, pno, qty )
     )
SELECT DISTINCT spx.sno
  FROM sp spx
 WHERE spx.pno = 'P1'
       AND NOT EXISTS (
                       SELECT *
                         FROM sp spy
                        WHERE spy.sno = spx.sno
                              AND spy.pno = 'P1'
                              AND spy.qty = 1000
                      );

So NOT EXISTS is not the silver bullet it may have appeared!

Of course, source of the problem is the presence of nulls, therefore the 'real' solution is to eliminate those nulls.

This can be achieved (among other possible designs) using two tables:

  • sp suppliers known to supply parts
  • spq suppliers known to supply parts in known quantities

noting there should probably be a foreign key constraint where spq references sp.

The result can then be obtained using the 'minus' relational operator (being the EXCEPT keyword in Standard SQL) e.g.

WITH sp AS 
     ( SELECT * 
         FROM ( VALUES ( 'S1', 'P1' ), 
                       ( 'S2', 'P1' ),
                       ( 'S3', 'P1' ) )
              AS T ( sno, pno )
     ),
     spq AS 
     ( SELECT * 
         FROM ( VALUES ( 'S2', 'P1', 200 ),
                       ( 'S3', 'P1', 1000 ) )
              AS T ( sno, pno, qty )
     )
SELECT sno
  FROM spq
 WHERE pno = 'P1'
EXCEPT 
SELECT sno
  FROM spq
 WHERE pno = 'P1'
       AND qty = 1000;

What is the largest Safe UDP Packet Size on the Internet

UDP is not "safe", so the question is not great - however -

  • if you are on a Mac the max size you can send by default is 9216 bytes.
  • if you are on Linux (CentOS/RedHat) or Windows 7 the max is 65507 bytes.

If you send 9217 or more (mac) or 65508+ (linux/windows), the socket send function returns with an error.

The above answers discussing fragmentation and MTU and so on are off topic - that all takes place at a lower level, is "invisible" to you, and does not affect "safety" on typical connections to a significant degree.

To answer the actual question meaning though - do not use UDP - use raw sockets so you get better control of everything; since you're writing a game, you need to delve into the flags to get priority into your traffic anyhow, so you may as well get rid of UDP issues at the same time.

How to use a ViewBag to create a dropdownlist?

hope it will work

 @Html.DropDownList("accountid", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.Accounts, String.Empty, new { @class ="extra-class" })

Here String.Empty will be the empty as a default selector.

Error handling in getJSON calls

$.getJSON() is a kind of abstraction of a regular AJAX call where you would have to tell that you want a JSON encoded response.

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  dataType: 'json',
  data: data,
  success: callback
});

You can handle errors in two ways: generically (by configuring your AJAX calls before actually calling them) or specifically (with method chain).

'generic' would be something like:

$.ajaxSetup({
      "error":function() { alert("error");  }
});

And the 'specific' way:

$.getJSON("example.json", function() {
  alert("success");
})
.done(function() { alert("second success"); })
.fail(function() { alert("error"); })
.always(function() { alert("complete"); });

Python class inherits object

History from Learn Python the Hard Way:

Python's original rendition of a class was broken in many serious ways. By the time this fault was recognized it was already too late, and they had to support it. In order to fix the problem, they needed some "new class" style so that the "old classes" would keep working but you can use the new more correct version.

They decided that they would use a word "object", lowercased, to be the "class" that you inherit from to make a class. It is confusing, but a class inherits from the class named "object" to make a class but it's not an object really its a class, but don't forget to inherit from object.

Also just to let you know what the difference between new-style classes and old-style classes is, it's that new-style classes always inherit from object class or from another class that inherited from object:

class NewStyle(object):
    pass

Another example is:

class AnotherExampleOfNewStyle(NewStyle):
    pass

While an old-style base class looks like this:

class OldStyle():
    pass

And an old-style child class looks like this:

class OldStyleSubclass(OldStyle):
    pass

You can see that an Old Style base class doesn't inherit from any other class, however, Old Style classes can, of course, inherit from one another. Inheriting from object guarantees that certain functionality is available in every Python class. New style classes were introduced in Python 2.2

Very simple log4j2 XML configuration file using Console and File appender

There are excellent answers, but if you want to color your console logs you can use the pattern :

<PatternLayout pattern="%style{%date{DEFAULT}}{yellow}
            [%t] %highlight{%-5level}{FATAL=bg_red, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow, INFO=green} %logger{36} - %message\n"/>

The full log4j2 file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
    <Properties>
        <Property name="APP_LOG_ROOT">/opt/test/log</Property>
    </Properties>
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="ConsoleAppender" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%style{%date{DEFAULT}}{yellow}
                [%t] %highlight{%-5level}{FATAL=bg_red, ERROR=red, WARN=yellow, INFO=green} %logger{36} - %message\n"/>
        </Console>
        <RollingFile name="XML_ROLLING_FILE_APPENDER"
                     fileName="${APP_LOG_ROOT}/appName.log"
                     filePattern="${APP_LOG_ROOT}/appName-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%d{DEFAULT} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>
            <Policies>
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="19500KB"/>
            </Policies>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="error">
            <AppenderRef ref="ConsoleAppender"/>
        </Root>
        <Logger name="com.compName.projectName" level="debug">
            <AppenderRef ref="XML_ROLLING_FILE_APPENDER"/>
        </Logger>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

How do I convert a list into a string with spaces in Python?

So in order to achieve a desired output, we should first know how the function works.

The syntax for join() method as described in the python documentation is as follows:

string_name.join(iterable)

Things to be noted:

  • It returns a string concatenated with the elements of iterable. The separator between the elements being the string_name.
  • Any non-string value in the iterable will raise a TypeError

Now, to add white spaces, we just need to replace the string_name with a " " or a ' ' both of them will work and place the iterable that we want to concatenate.

So, our function will look something like this:

' '.join(my_list)

But, what if we want to add a particular number of white spaces in between our elements in the iterable ?

We need to add this:

str(number*" ").join(iterable)

here, the number will be a user input.

So, for example if number=4.

Then, the output of str(4*" ").join(my_list) will be how are you, so in between every word there are 4 white spaces.

Gnuplot line types

Until version 4.6

The dash type of a linestyle is given by the linetype, which does also select the line color unless you explicitely set an other one with linecolor.

However, the support for dashed lines depends on the selected terminal:

  1. Some terminals don't support dashed lines, like png (uses libgd)
  2. Other terminals, like pngcairo, support dashed lines, but it is disables by default. To enable it, use set termoption dashed, or set terminal pngcairo dashed ....
  3. The exact dash patterns differ between terminals. To see the defined linetype, use the test command:

Running

set terminal pngcairo dashed
set output 'test.png'
test
set output

gives:

enter image description here

whereas, the postscript terminal shows different dash patterns:

set terminal postscript eps color colortext
set output 'test.eps'
test
set output

enter image description here

Version 5.0

Starting with version 5.0 the following changes related to linetypes, dash patterns and line colors are introduced:

  • A new dashtype parameter was introduced:

    To get the predefined dash patterns, use e.g.

    plot x dashtype 2
    

    You can also specify custom dash patterns like

    plot x dashtype (3,5,10,5),\
         2*x dashtype '.-_'
    
  • The terminal options dashed and solid are ignored. By default all lines are solid. To change them to dashed, use e.g.

    set for [i=1:8] linetype i dashtype i
    
  • The default set of line colors was changed. You can select between three different color sets with set colorsequence default|podo|classic:

enter image description here

Why can't I call a public method in another class?

For example 1 and 2 you need to create static methods:

public static string InstanceMethod() {return "Hello World";}

Then for example 3 you need an instance of your object to invoke the method:

object o = new object();
string s = o.InstanceMethod();

How to "flatten" a multi-dimensional array to simple one in PHP?

A new approach based on the previous example function submited by chaos, which fixes the bug of overwritting string keys in multiarrays:

# Flatten a multidimensional array to one dimension, optionally preserving keys.
# $array - the array to flatten
# $preserve_keys - 0 (default) to not preserve keys, 1 to preserve string keys only, 2 to preserve all keys
# $out - internal use argument for recursion

function flatten_array($array, $preserve_keys = 2, &$out = array(), &$last_subarray_found) 
{
        foreach($array as $key => $child)
        {
            if(is_array($child))
            {
                $last_subarray_found = $key;
                $out = flatten_array($child, $preserve_keys, $out, $last_subarray_found);
            }
            elseif($preserve_keys + is_string($key) > 1)
            {
                if ($last_subarray_found)
                {
                    $sfinal_key_value = $last_subarray_found . "_" . $key;
                }
                else
                {
                    $sfinal_key_value = $key;
                }
                $out[$sfinal_key_value] = $child;
            }
            else
            {
                $out[] = $child;
            }
        }

        return $out;
}

Example:
$newarraytest = array();
$last_subarray_found = "";
$this->flatten_array($array, 2, $newarraytest, $last_subarray_found);

Can I run CUDA on Intel's integrated graphics processor?

Intel HD Graphics is usually the on-CPU graphics chip in newer Core i3/i5/i7 processors.

As far as I know it doesn't support CUDA (which is a proprietary NVidia technology), but OpenCL is supported by NVidia, ATi and Intel.

Move_uploaded_file() function is not working

If move_uploaded_file() is not working for you and you are not getting any errors (like in my case), make sure that the size of the file/image you are uploading is not greater than upload_max_filesize value in php.ini.

My upload_max_filesize value was 2MB on my localhost and I kept trying to upload a 4MB image for countless times while trying to figure out what the issue with move_uploaded_file() is.

Limiting the output of PHP's echo to 200 characters

Like this:

echo substr($row['style-info'], 0, 200);

Or wrapped in a function:

    echo substr($row['style-info'], 0, 200);
}

echo_200($str);

How to fix a locale setting warning from Perl

Passing arrays as url parameter

This is another way of solving this problem.

$data = array(
              1,
              4,
             'a' => 'b',
             'c' => 'd'
              );
$query = http_build_query(array('aParam' => $data));

How to a convert a date to a number and back again in MATLAB

Use DATESTR

>> datestr(40189)
ans =
12-Jan-0110

Unfortunately, Excel starts counting at 1-Jan-1900. Find out how to convert serial dates from Matlab to Excel by using DATENUM

>> datenum(2010,1,11)
ans =
      734149
>> datenum(2010,1,11)-40189
ans =
      693960
>> datestr(40189+693960)
ans =
11-Jan-2010

In other words, to convert any serial Excel date, call

datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960)

EDIT

To get the date in mm/dd/yyyy format, call datestr with the specified format

excelSerialDate = 40189;
datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960,'mm/dd/yyyy')
ans =
01/11/2010

Also, if you want to get rid of the leading zero for the month, you can use REGEXPREP to fix things

excelSerialDate = 40189;
regexprep(datestr(excelSerialDate + 693960,'mm/dd/yyyy'),'^0','')
ans =
1/11/2010

Django - makemigrations - No changes detected

I solved that problem by doing this:

  1. Erase the "db.sqlite3" file. The issue here is that your current data base will be erased, so you will have to remake it again.
  2. Inside the migrations folder of your edited app, erase the last updated file. Remember that the first created file is: "0001_initial.py". For example: I made a new class and register it by the "makemigrations" and "migrate" procedure, now a new file called "0002_auto_etc.py" was created; erase it.
  3. Go to the "pycache" folder (inside the migrations folder) and erase the file "0002_auto_etc.pyc".
  4. Finally, go to the console and use "python manage.py makemigrations" and "python manage.py migrate".

How to convert a date to milliseconds

The SimpleDateFormat class allows you to parse a String into a java.util.Date object. Once you have the Date object, you can get the milliseconds since the epoch by calling Date.getTime().

The full example:

String myDate = "2014/10/29 18:10:45";
//creates a formatter that parses the date in the given format
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Date date = sdf.parse(myDate);
long timeInMillis = date.getTime();

Note that this gives you a long and not a double, but I think that's probably what you intended. The documentation for the SimpleDateFormat class has tons on information on how to set it up to parse different formats.

Variable is accessed within inner class. Needs to be declared final

Here's a funny answer.

You can declare a final one-element array and change the elements of the array all you want apparently. I'm sure it breaks the very reason why this compiler rule was implemented in the first place but it's handy when you're in a time-bind as I was today.

I actually can't claim credit for this one. It was IntelliJ's recommendation! Feels a bit hacky. But doesn't seem as bad as a global variable so I thought it worth mentioning here. It's just one solution to the problem. Not necessarily the best one.

final int[] tapCount = {0};

addSiteButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
       tapCount[0]++;
    }

});

How to split a string in Java

One way to do this is to run through the String in a for-each loop and use the required split character.

public class StringSplitTest {

    public static void main(String[] arg){
        String str = "004-034556";
        String split[] = str.split("-");
        System.out.println("The split parts of the String are");
        for(String s:split)
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

Output:

The split parts of the String are:
004
034556

How to scroll the page when a modal dialog is longer than the screen?

fixed positioning alone should have fixed that problem but another good workaround to avoid this issue is to place your modal divs or elements at the bottom of the page not within your sites layout. Most modal plugins give their modal positioning absolute to allow the user keep main page scrolling.

<html>
        <body>
        <!-- Put all your page layouts and elements


        <!-- Let the last element be the modal elemment  -->
        <div id="myModals">
        ...
        </div>

        </body>
</html>

Select * from subquery

You can select every column from that sub-query by aliasing it and adding the alias before the *:

SELECT t.*, a+b AS total_sum
FROM
(
   SELECT SUM(column1) AS a, SUM(column2) AS b
   FROM table
) t

SQL left join vs multiple tables on FROM line?

To the database, they end up being the same. For you, though, you'll have to use that second syntax in some situations. For the sake of editing queries that end up having to use it (finding out you needed a left join where you had a straight join), and for consistency, I'd pattern only on the 2nd method. It'll make reading queries easier.

Get Context in a Service

  1. Service extends ContextWrapper
  2. ContextWrapper extends Context

So....

Context context = this;

OTP (token) should be automatically read from the message

You can try using a simple library like

After installing via gradle and adding permissions initiate SmsVerifyCatcher in method like onCreate activity:

    smsVerifyCatcher = new SmsVerifyCatcher(this, new OnSmsCatchListener<String>() {
    @Override
    public void onSmsCatch(String message) {
        String code = parseCode(message);//Parse verification code
        etCode.setText(code);//set code in edit text
        //then you can send verification code to server
    }
});

Also, override activity lifecicle methods:

  @Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    smsVerifyCatcher.onStart();
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    smsVerifyCatcher.onStop();
}

/**

    smsVerifyCatcher.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}


public String parseCode(String message) {
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\b\\d{4}\\b");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(message);
    String code = "";
    while (m.find()) {

XSLT getting last element

You need to put the last() indexing on the nodelist result, rather than as part of the selection criteria. Try:

html5 - canvas element - Multiple layers

No, however, you could layer multiple <canvas> elements on top of each other and accomplish something similar.

<div style="position: relative;">
 <canvas id="layer1" width="100" height="100" 
   style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 0;"></canvas>
 <canvas id="layer2" width="100" height="100" 
   style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 1;"></canvas>
</div>

Draw your first layer on the layer1 canvas, and the second layer on the layer2 canvas. Then when you clearRect on the top layer, whatever's on the lower canvas will show through.

SQL Server - An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'RETURN'

That is invalid syntax. You are mixing relational expressions with scalar operators (OR). Specifically you cannot combine expr IN (select ...) OR (select ...). You probably want expr IN (select ...) OR expr IN (select ...). Using union would also work: expr IN (select... UNION select...)

Google Play Services GCM 9.2.0 asks to "update" back to 9.0.0

The same situation was with the previous versions. It's annoing that new versions com.google.android.gms libraries are always releasing before plugin, and it's impossible to use new version because is incompatible with old plugin. I don't know if plugin is now required (google docs sucks). I remember times when it wasn't. The only way is wait for new plugin version, or you can try to remove plugin dependencies, but as I said I'am not sure if gcm will work without it. What I know the main feature of 9.2.0 version is new Awareness API https://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/google-awareness-api-in-action/en, if you didn't need it, you can use 9.0.0 version without any trouble.

What's the console.log() of java?

Use the Android logging utility.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html

Log has a bunch of static methods for accessing the different log levels. The common thread is that they always accept at least a tag and a log message.

Tags are a way of filtering output in your log messages. You can use them to wade through the thousands of log messages you'll see and find the ones you're specifically looking for.

You use the Log functions in Android by accessing the Log.x objects (where the x method is the log level). For example:

Log.d("MyTagGoesHere", "This is my log message at the debug level here");
Log.e("MyTagGoesHere", "This is my log message at the error level here");

I usually make it a point to make the tag my class name so I know where the log message was generated too. Saves a lot of time later on in the game.

You can see your log messages using the logcat tool for android:

adb logcat

Or by opening the eclipse Logcat view by going to the menu bar

Window->Show View->Other then select the Android menu and the LogCat view

How to change Oracle default data pump directory to import dumpfile?

You can use the following command to update the DATA PUMP DIRECTORY path,

For me data path correction was required as I have restored the my database from production to test environment.

Same command can be used to create a new DATA PUMP DIRECTORY name and path.

That was much more painful than it ought to have been.

It turns out there are two concepts, the format of the data and the format of the axis. You need to format the data series as a time, then you format the graph's display axis as date and time.

Graph your data

Highlight all columns and insert your graph

First graph your data

Format datetime cells

Select the column, right click, format cells. Select time so that the data is in time format.

Format the cells

Now format the axis

Now right click on the axis text and change it to display whatever format you want

Format axis as custom date

How to keep a Python script output window open?

You can just write

input()

at the end of your code

therefore when you run you script it will wait for you to enter something

{ENTER for example}

C# int to enum conversion

You don't need the inheritance. You can do:

(Foo)1 

it will work ;)

How to create global variables accessible in all views using Express / Node.JS?

In your app.js you need add something like this

global.myvar = 100;

Now, in all your files you want use this variable, you can just access it as myvar

Then goto Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Click Change then the installer will load and you need to click Modify to add ClickOnce Publishing Tools feature.

How to check if a radiobutton is checked in a radiogroup in Android?

If you want to check on just one RadioButton you can use the isChecked function

if(radioButton.isChecked())
{
  // is checked    
}
else
{
  // not checked
}

and if you have a RadioGroup you can use

if (radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId() == -1)
{
  // no radio buttons are checked
}
else
{
  // one of the radio buttons is checked
}

How to filter keys of an object with lodash?

A non-lodash way to solve this in a fairly readable and efficient manner:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function filterByKeys(obj, keys = []) {_x000D_
  const filtered = {}_x000D_
  keys.forEach(key => {_x000D_

How to change onClick handler dynamically?

OMG... It's not only a problem of "jQuery Library" and "getElementById".

Sure, jQuery helps us to put cross-browser problems aside, but using the traditional way without libraries can still work well, if you really understand JavaScript ENOUGH!!!

Both @Már Örlygsson and @Darryl Hein gave you good ALTARNATIVES(I'd say, they're just altarnatives, not anwsers), where the former used the traditional way, and the latter jQuery way. But do you really know the answer to your problem? What is wrong with your code?

First, .click is a jQuery way. If you want to use traditional way, use .onclick instead. Or I recommend you concentrating on learning to use jQuery only, in case of confusing. jQuery is a good tool to use without knowing DOM enough.

The second problem, also the critical one, new function(){} is a very bad syntax, or say it is a wrong syntax.

No matter whether you want to go with jQuery or without it, you need to clarify it.

There are 3 basic ways declaring function:

function name () {code}

... = function() {code} // known as anonymous function or function literal

... = new Function("code") // Function Object

Note that javascript is case-sensitive, so new function() is not a standard syntax of javascript. Browsers may misunderstand the meaning.

Thus your code can be modified using the second way as

 = function(){alert();}

Or using the third way as

 = new Function("alert();");

Elaborating on it, the second way works almost the same as the third way, and the second way is very common, while the third is rare. Both of your best answers use the second way.

However, the third way can do something that the second can't do, because of "runtime" and "compile time". I just hope you know new Function() can be useful sometimes. One day you meet problems using function(){}, don't forget new Function().

To understand more, you are recommended read << JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 6th Edition >>, O'Reilly.

How to send a GET request from PHP?

For more advanced GET/POST requests, you can install the CURL library (http://us3.php.net/curl):

$ch = curl_init("REMOTE XML FILE URL GOES HERE"); // such as http://example.com/example.xml
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

How to define constants in Visual C# like #define in C?

public const int NUMBER = 9;

You'd need to put it in a class somewhere, and the usage would be ClassName.NUMBER

ImproperlyConfigured: You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings

I figured that the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE had to be set some way, so I looked at the documentation (link updated) and found:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings

Though that is not enough if you are running a server on heroku, you need to specify it there, too. Like this:

heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings --account <your account name> 

In my specific case I ran these two and everything worked out:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=nirla.settings
heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=nirla.settings --account personal

Edit

I would also like to point out that you have to re-do this every time you close or restart your virtual environment. Instead, you should automate the process by going to venv/bin/activate and adding the line: set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings to the bottom of the code. From now on every time you activate the virtual environment, you will be using that app's settings.

What is the Simplest Way to Reverse an ArrayList?

The trick here is defining "reverse". One can modify the list in place, create a copy in reverse order, or create a view in reversed order.

The simplest way, intuitively speaking, is Collections.reverse:

Collections.reverse(myList);

This method modifies the list in place. That is, Collections.reverse takes the list and overwrites its elements, leaving no unreversed copy behind. This is suitable for some use cases, but not for others; furthermore, it assumes the list is modifiable. If this is acceptable, we're good.


If not, one could create a copy in reverse order:

static <T> List<T> reverse(final List<T> list) {
    final List<T> result = new ArrayList<>(list);
    Collections.reverse(result);
    return result;
}

This approach works, but requires iterating over the list twice. The copy constructor (new ArrayList<>(list)) iterates over the list, and so does Collections.reverse. We can rewrite this method to iterate only once, if we're so inclined:

static <T> List<T> reverse(final List<T> list) {
    final int size = list.size();
    final int last = size - 1;

    // create a new list, with exactly enough initial capacity to hold the (reversed) list
    final List<T> result = new ArrayList<>(size);

    // iterate through the list in reverse order and append to the result
    for (int i = last; i >= 0; --i) {
        final T element = list.get(i);
        result.add(element);
    }

    // result now holds a reversed copy of the original list
    return result;
}

This is more efficient, but also more verbose.

Alternatively, we can rewrite the above to use Java 8's stream API, which some people find more concise and legible than the above:

static <T> List<T> reverse(final List<T> list) {
    final int last = list.size() - 1;
    return IntStream.rangeClosed(0, last) // a stream of all valid indexes into the list
        .map(i -> (last - i))             // reverse order
        .mapToObj(list::get)              // map each index to a list element
        .collect(Collectors.toList());    // wrap them up in a list
}

nb. that Collectors.toList() makes very few guarantees about the result list. If you want to ensure the result comes back as an ArrayList, use Collectors.toCollection(ArrayList::new) instead.


The third option is to create a view in reversed order. This is a more complicated solution, and worthy of further reading/its own question. Guava's Lists#reverse method is a viable starting point.

Choosing a "simplest" implementation is left as an exercise for the reader.

window.close() doesn't work - Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it

Error messages don't get any clearer than this:

"Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it."

If your script did not initiate opening the window (with something like window.open), then the script in that window is not allowed to close it. Its a security to prevent a website taking control of your browser and closing windows.

MySQL COUNT DISTINCT

 Select
     Count(Distinct user_id) As countUsers
   , Count(site_id) As countVisits
   , site_id As site
 From cp_visits
 Where ts >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
 Group By site_id

List rows after specific date

Simply put:

SELECT * 
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE
dob > '1/21/2012'

Where 1/21/2012 is the date and you want all data, including that date.

SELECT * 
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE
dob BETWEEN '1/21/2012' AND '2/22/2012'

Use a between if you're selecting time between two dates

What is a web service endpoint?

A endpoint is a URL for web service.And Endpoints also is a distributed API.

The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) endpoint is a URL. It identifies the location on the built-in HTTP service where the web services listener listens for incoming requests.

ps command doesn't work in docker container

In case you can't install the procps package (don't have proper permissions) you can use /proc directory.

The first few directories (named as numbers) are PIDs of your processes. Inside directories, you can find additional information useful to decipher which process is connected to each PID. For example, you can use the cat command to view "cmdline" file to check which process is connected to PID.

$ ls /proc
1 10 11 ...

$ ls -1 /proc/22
attr
autogroup
auxv
cgroup
clear_refs
cmdline
...

$ cat /proc/22/cmdline 
/bin/sh

Ineligible Devices section appeared in Xcode 6.x.x

Ran into the same issue, using Unity3D

=> Xcode 6.3 requires Unity 4.6.4

If you're using an older Unity version (e.g. 4.6.3) you'll always get your devices in the Ineligible Devices section

How to apply font anti-alias effects in CSS?

Short answer: You can't.

CSS does not have techniques which affect the rendering of fonts in the browser; only the system can do that.

Obviously, text sharpness can easily be achieved with pixel-dense screens, but if you're using a normal PC that's gonna be hard to achieve.

There are some newer fonts that are smooth but at the sacrifice of it appearing somewhat blurry (look at most of Adobe's fonts, for example). You can also find some smooth-but-blurry-by-design fonts at Google Fonts, however.

There are some new CSS3 techniques for font rendering and text effects though the consistency, performance, and reliability of these techniques vary so largely to the point where you generally shouldn't rely on them too much.

\n or \n in php echo not print

Escape sequences (and variables too) work inside double quoted and heredoc strings. So change your code to:

echo '<p>' . $unit1 . "</p>\n";

PS: One clarification, single quotes strings do accept two escape sequences:

  • \' when you want to use single quote inside single quoted strings
  • \\ when you want to use backslash literally

What is the most efficient way to store tags in a database?

If space is going to be an issue, have a 3rd table Tags(Tag_Id, Title) to store the text for the tag and then change your Tags table to be (Tag_Id, Item_Id). Those two values should provide a unique composite primary key as well.

What is a "slug" in Django?

Also auto slug at django-admin. Added at ModelAdmin:

    list_display = ('title', 'slug')
    search_fields = ('content', )

    prepopulated_fields = {'slug': ('title', )}

jquery find closest previous sibling with class

I think all the answers are lacking something. I prefer using something like this

$('li.current_sub').prevUntil("li.par_cat").prev();

Saves you not adding :first inside the selector and is easier to read and understand. prevUntil() method has a better performance as well rather than using prevAll()

How to convert an array into an object using stdClass()

The quick and dirty way is using json_encode and json_decode which will turn the entire array (including sub elements) into an object.

$clasa = json_decode(json_encode($clasa)); //Turn it into an object

The same can be used to convert an object into an array. Simply add , true to json_decode to return an associated array:

$clasa = json_decode(json_encode($clasa), true); //Turn it into an array

An alternate way (without being dirty) is simply a recursive function:

function convertToObject($array) {
    $object = new stdClass();
    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if (is_array($value)) {
            $value = convertToObject($value);
        }
        $object->$key = $value;
    }
    return $object;
}

or in full code:

<?php
    function convertToObject($array) {
        $object = new stdClass();
        foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
            if (is_array($value)) {
                $value = convertToObject($value);
            }
            $object->$key = $value;
        }
        return $object;
    }

    $clasa = array(
            'e1' => array('nume' => 'Nitu', 'prenume' => 'Andrei', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
            'e2' => array('nume' => 'Nae', 'prenume' => 'Ionel', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 27),
            'e3' => array('nume' => 'Noman', 'prenume' => 'Alice', 'sex' => 'f', 'varsta' => 22),
            'e4' => array('nume' => 'Geangos', 'prenume' => 'Bogdan', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 23),
            'e5' => array('nume' => 'Vasile', 'prenume' => 'Mihai', 'sex' => 'm', 'varsta' => 25)
    );

    $obj = convertToObject($clasa);
    print_r($obj);
?>

which outputs (note that there's no arrays - only stdClass's):

stdClass Object
(
    [e1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [nume] => Nitu
            [prenume] => Andrei
            [sex] => m
            [varsta] => 23
        )

    [e2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [nume] => Nae
            [prenume] => Ionel
            [sex] => m
            [varsta] => 27
        )

    [e3] => stdClass Object
        (
            [nume] => Noman
            [prenume] => Alice
            [sex] => f
            [varsta] => 22
        )

    [e4] => stdClass Object
        (
            [nume] => Geangos
            [prenume] => Bogdan
            [sex] => m
            [varsta] => 23
        )

    [e5] => stdClass Object
        (
            [nume] => Vasile
            [prenume] => Mihai
            [sex] => m
            [varsta] => 25
        )

)

So you'd refer to it by $obj->e5->nume.

Laravel 5 route not defined, while it is?

This thread is old but was the first one to come up so I thought id share my solution too. Apart from having named routes in your routes.php file. This error can also occur when you have duplicate URLs in your routes file, but with different names, the error can be misleading in this scenario. Example

Route::any('official/form/reject-form', 'FormStatus@rejectForm')->name('reject-form');  


Route::any('official/form/accept-form', 'FormStatus@acceptForm')->name('accept-form');

Changing one of the names solves the problem. Copy pasting and fatigue will get you to this problem :).

File being used by another process after using File.Create()

I updated your question with the code snippet. After proper indenting, it is immediately clear what the problem is: you use File.Create() but don't close the FileStream that it returns.

Doing it that way is unnecessary, StreamWriter already allows appending to an existing file and creating a new file if it doesn't yet exist. Like this:

  string filePath = string.Format(@"{0}\M{1}.dat", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DirectoryPath"], costCentre); 
  using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filePath, true)) {
    //write my text 
  }

Which uses this StreamWriter constructor.

JavaScript: replace last occurrence of text in a string

If speed is important, use this:

/**
 * Replace last occurrence of a string with another string
 * x - the initial string
 * y - string to replace
 * z - string that will replace
 */
function replaceLast(x, y, z){
    var a = x.split("");
    var length = y.length;
    if(x.lastIndexOf(y) != -1) {
        for(var i = x.lastIndexOf(y); i < x.lastIndexOf(y) + length; i++) {
            if(i == x.lastIndexOf(y)) {
                a[i] = z;
            }
            else {
                delete a[i];
            }
        }
    }

    return a.join("");
}

It's faster than using RegExp.

Calculating moving average

Though a bit slow but you can also use zoo::rollapply to perform calculations on matrices.

reqd_ma <- rollapply(x, FUN = mean, width = n)

where x is the data set, FUN = mean is the function; you can also change it to min, max, sd etc and width is the rolling window.

Python Set Comprehension

You can get clean and clear solutions by building the appropriate predicates as helper functions. In other words, use the Python set-builder notation the same way you would write the answer with regular mathematics set-notation.

The whole idea behind set comprehensions is to let us write and reason in code the same way we do mathematics by hand.

With an appropriate predicate in hand, problem 1 simplifies to:

 low_primes = {x for x in range(1, 100) if is_prime(x)}

And problem 2 simplifies to:

 low_prime_pairs = {(x, x+2) for x in range(1,100,2) if is_prime(x) and is_prime(x+2)}

Note how this code is a direct translation of the problem specification, "A Prime Pair is a pair of consecutive odd numbers that are both prime."

P.S. I'm trying to give you the correct problem solving technique without actually giving away the answer to the homework problem.

Issue with virtualenv - cannot activate

According to the documentation

Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be “activated” using a script in the virtual environment’s binary directory. The invocation of the script is platform-specific ( must be replaced by the path of the directory containing the virtual environment).

As it is platform-specific, use env\Scripts\activate for Windows and use env/Scripts/activate for Linux.

jQuery 'each' loop with JSON array

Try (untested):

$.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
    $.each(data.justIn, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });
    $.each(data.recent, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });
    $.each(data.old, function() {
        $.each(this, function(k, v) {
            alert(k + ' ' + v);
        });
    });    
});

I figured, three separate loops since you'll probably want to treat each dataset differently (justIn, recent, old). If not, you can do:

$.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
    $.each(data, function(k, v) {
        alert(k + ' ' + v);
        $.each(v, function(k1, v1) {
            alert(k1 + ' ' + v1);
        });
    });
});

this type of error generally occurs when you have to put characters or values more than that you have specified in Database table like in this case: you specify transaction_status varchar(10) but you actually trying to store
_transaction_status which contain 19 characters. that's why you faced this type of error in this code..

What are the most useful Intellij IDEA keyboard shortcuts?

Any combination of Ctrl + Alt + Shift and N.

Ctrl + Shift + T in idea8 is also excellent.

ValueError: unsupported format character while forming strings

Well, why do you have %20 url-quoting escapes in a formatting string in first place? Ideally you'd do the interpolation formatting first:

formatting_template = 'Hello World%s'
text = '!'
full_string = formatting_template % text

Then you url quote it afterwards:

result = urllib.quote(full_string)

That is better because it would quote all url-quotable things in your string, including stuff that is in the text part.

Checking if a string can be converted to float in Python

Passing dictionary as argument it will convert strings which can be converted to float and will leave others

def covertDict_float(data):
        for i in data:
            if data[i].split(".")[0].isdigit():
                try:
                    data[i] = float(data[i])
                except:
                    continue
        return data

jquery select element by xpath

document.evaluate() (DOM Level 3 XPath) is supported in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera - the only major browser missing is MSIE. Nevertheless, jQuery supports basic XPath expressions: http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Traversing/Selectors#XPath_Selectors (moved into a plugin in the current jQuery version, see https://plugins.jquery.com/xpath/). It simply converts XPath expressions into equivalent CSS selectors however.

Round button with text and icon in flutter

You can simply use named constructors for creating different types of buttons with icons. For instance

FlatButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);
RaisedButton.icon(onPressed: null, icon: null, label: null);

But if you have specfic requirements then you can always create custom button with different layouts or simply wrap a widget in GestureDetector.

JavaScript Loading Screen while page loads

To build further upon the ajax part which you may or may not use (from the comments)

a simple way to load another page and replace it with your current one is:

<script>
    $(document).ready( function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'get',
            url: 'http://pageToLoad.from',
            success: function(response) {
                // response = data which has been received and passed on to the 'success' function.
                $('body').html(response);
            }
        });
    });
<script>

React Native: How to select the next TextInput after pressing the "next" keyboard button?

If you happen to be using tcomb-form-native as I am, you can do this, too. Here's the trick: instead of setting the props of the TextInput directly, you do it via options. You can refer to the fields of the form as:

this.refs.form.getComponent('password').refs.input.focus()

So the final product looks something like this:

var t = require('tcomb-form-native');
var Form = t.form.Form;

var MyForm = t.struct({
  field1:     t.String,
  field2:     t.String,
});

var MyComponent = React.createClass({

  _getFormOptions () {
    return {
      fields: {
        field1: {
          returnKeyType: 'next',
          onSubmitEditing: () => {this.refs.form.getComponent('field2').refs.input.focus()},
        },
      },
    };
  },

  render () {

    var formOptions = this._getFormOptions();

    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Form ref="form" type={MyForm} options={formOptions}/>
      </View>
    );
  },
});

Abstraction vs Encapsulation in Java

In simple words: You do abstraction when deciding what to implement. You do encapsulation when hiding something that you have implemented.

When should I write the keyword 'inline' for a function/method?

I'd like to contribute to all of the great answers in this thread with a convincing example to disperse any remaining misunderstanding.

Given two source files, such as:

  • inline111.cpp:

    #include <iostream>
    
    void bar();
    
    inline int fun() {
      return 111;
    }
    
    int main() {
      std::cout << "inline111: fun() = " << fun() << ", &fun = " << (void*) &fun;
      bar();
    }
    
  • inline222.cpp:

    #include <iostream>
    
    inline int fun() {
      return 222;
    }
    
    void bar() {
      std::cout << "inline222: fun() = " << fun() << ", &fun = " << (void*) &fun;
    }
    

  • Case A:

    Compile:

    g++ -std=c++11 inline111.cpp inline222.cpp
    

    Output:

    inline111: fun() = 111, &fun = 0x4029a0
    inline222: fun() = 111, &fun = 0x4029a0
    

    Discussion:

    1. Even thou you ought to have identical definitions of your inline functions, C++ compiler does not flag it if that is not the case (actually, due to separate compilation it has no ways to check it). It is your own duty to ensure this!

    2. Linker does not complain about One Definition Rule, as fun() is declared as inline. However, because inline111.cpp is the first translation unit (which actually calls fun()) processed by compiler, the compiler instantiates fun() upon its first call-encounter in inline111.cpp. If compiler decides not to expand fun() upon its call from anywhere else in your program (e.g. from inline222.cpp), the call to fun() will always be linked to its instance produced from inline111.cpp (the call to fun() inside inline222.cpp may also produce an instance in that translation unit, but it will remain unlinked). Indeed, that is evident from the identical &fun = 0x4029a0 print-outs.

    3. Finally, despite the inline suggestion to the compiler to actually expand the one-liner fun(), it ignores your suggestion completely, which is clear because fun() = 111 in both of the lines.


  • Case B:

    Compile (notice reverse order):

    g++ -std=c++11 inline222.cpp inline111.cpp
    

    Output:

    inline111: fun() = 222, &fun = 0x402980
    inline222: fun() = 222, &fun = 0x402980
    

    Discussion:

    1. This case asserts what have been discussed in Case A.

    2. Notice an important point, that if you comment out the actual call to fun() in inline222.cpp (e.g. comment out cout-statement in inline222.cpp completely) then, despite the compilation order of your translation units, fun() will be instantiated upon it's first call encounter in inline111.cpp, resulting in print-out for Case B as inline111: fun() = 111, &fun = 0x402980.


  • Case C:

    Compile (notice -O2):

    g++ -std=c++11 -O2 inline222.cpp inline111.cpp
    

    or

    g++ -std=c++11 -O2 inline111.cpp inline222.cpp
    

    Output:

    inline111: fun() = 111, &fun = 0x402900
    inline222: fun() = 222, &fun = 0x402900
    

    Discussion:

    1. As is described here, -O2 optimization encourages compiler to actually expand the functions that can be inlined (Notice also that -fno-inline is default without optimization options). As is evident from the outprint here, the fun() has actually been inline expanded (according to its definition in that particular translation unit), resulting in two different fun() print-outs. Despite this, there is still only one globally linked instance of fun() (as required by the standard), as is evident from identical &fun print-out.

boto3 client NoRegionError: You must specify a region error only sometimes

One way or another you must tell boto3 in which region you wish the kms client to be created. This could be done explicitly using the region_name parameter as in:

kms = boto3.client('kms', region_name='us-west-2')

or you can have a default region associated with your profile in your ~/.aws/config file as in:

[default]
region=us-west-2

or you can use an environment variable as in:

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-west-2

but you do need to tell boto3 which region to use.

Eclipse returns error message "Java was started but returned exit code = 1"

If none of the solutions works, please check if you have more than one version of java installed on your machine. Please keep only one version which you prefer and everything should work fine.

Compare every item to every other item in ArrayList

In some cases this is the best way because your code may have change something and j=i+1 won't check that.

for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++){  
    for (int j = 0; j < list.size(); j++) {
                if(i == j) {
               //to do code here
                    continue;
                }

}

}

Struct memory layout in C

In C, the compiler is allowed to dictate some alignment for every primitive type. Typically the alignment is the size of the type. But it's entirely implementation-specific.

Padding bytes are introduced so every object is properly aligned. Reordering is not allowed.

Possibly every remotely modern compiler implements #pragma pack which allows control over padding and leaves it to the programmer to comply with the ABI. (It is strictly nonstandard, though.)

From C99 §6.7.2.1:

12 Each non-bit-field member of a structure or union object is aligned in an implementation- defined manner appropriate to its type.

13 Within a structure object, the non-bit-field members and the units in which bit-fields reside have addresses that increase in the order in which they are declared. A pointer to a structure object, suitably converted, points to its initial member (or if that member is a bit-field, then to the unit in which it resides), and vice versa. There may be unnamed padding within a structure object, but not at its beginning.

How to Run a jQuery or JavaScript Before Page Start to Load

Hide the body with css then show it after the page is loaded:

CSS:

html { visibility:hidden; }

Javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
  document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].style.visibility = "visible";
});

The page will go from blank to showing all content when the page is loaded, no flash of content, no watching images load etc.

Find Java classes implementing an interface

Package Level Annotations

I know this question has already been answered a long time ago but another solution to this problem is to use Package Level Annotations.

While its pretty hard to go find all the classes in the JVM its actually pretty easy to browse the package hierarchy.

Package[] ps = Package.getPackages();
for (Package p : ps) {
  MyAno a = p.getAnnotation(MyAno.class)
  // Recursively descend
}

Then just make your annotation have an argument of an array of Class. Then in your package-info.java for a particular package put the MyAno.

I'll add more details (code) if people are interested but most probably get the idea.

MetaInf Service Loader

To add to @erickson answer you can also use the service loader approach. Kohsuke has an awesome way of generating the the required META-INF stuff you need for the service loader approach:

angular2 manually firing click event on particular element

Angular4

Instead of

    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
        this.fileInput.nativeElement, 'dispatchEvent', [event]);

use

    this.fileInput.nativeElement.dispatchEvent(event);

because invokeElementMethod won't be part of the renderer anymore.

Angular2

Use ViewChild with a template variable to get a reference to the file input, then use the Renderer to invoke dispatchEvent to fire the event:

import { Component, Renderer, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
  ...
  template: `
...
<input #fileInput type="file" id="imgFile" (click)="onChange($event)" >
...`
})
class MyComponent {
  @ViewChild('fileInput') fileInput:ElementRef;

  constructor(private renderer:Renderer) {}

  showImageBrowseDlg() {
    // from http://stackoverflow.com/a/32010791/217408
    let event = new MouseEvent('click', {bubbles: true});
    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
        this.fileInput.nativeElement, 'dispatchEvent', [event]);
  }
}

Update

Since direct DOM access isn't discouraged anymore by the Angular team this simpler code can be used as well

this.fileInput.nativeElement.click()

WordPress: get author info from post id

If you want it outside of loop then use the below code.

<?php
$author_id = get_post_field ('post_author', $cause_id);
$display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' , $author_id ); 
echo $display_name;
?>

Adding an identity to an existing column

There isn't one, sadly; the IDENTITY property belongs to the table rather than the column.

The easier way is to do it in the GUI, but if this isn't an option, you can go the long way around of copying the data, dropping the column, re-adding it with identity, and putting the data back.

See here for a blow-by-blow account.

Why does this CSS margin-top style not work?

Just for a quick fix, try wrapping your child elements into a div element like this -

<div id="outer">
   <div class="divadjust" style="padding-top: 1px">
      <div id="inner">
         Hello world!
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

Margin of inner div won't collapse due to the padding of 1px in-between outer and inner div. So logically you will have 1px extra space along with existing margin of inner div.

.mp4 file not playing in chrome

I was actually running into some strange errors with mp4's a while ago. What fixed it for me was re-encoding the video using known supported codecs (H.264 & MP3).

I actually used the VLC player to do so and it worked fine afterward. I converted using the mentioned codecs H.264/MP3. That solved it for me.

Maybe the problem is not in the format but in the JavaScript implementation of the play/ pause methods. May I suggest visiting the following link where Google developer explains it in a good way?

Additionally, you could choose to use the newer webp format, which Chrome supports out of the box, but be careful with other browsers. Check the support for it before implementation. Here's a link that describes the mentioned format.

On that note: I've created a small script that easily converts all standard formats to webp. You can easily configure it to fit your needs. Here's the Github repo of the same projects.

How to configure SSL certificates with Charles Web Proxy and the latest Android Emulator on Windows?

For what it's worth here are the step by step instructions for doing this in an Android device. Should be the same for iOS:

  1. Open Charles
  2. Go to Proxy > Proxy Settings > SSL
  3. Check “Enable SSL Proxying”
  4. Select “Add location” and enter the host name and port (if needed)
  5. Click ok and make sure the option is checked
  6. Download the Charles cert from here: Charles cert >
  7. Send that file to yourself in an email.
  8. Open the email on your device and select the cert
  9. In “Name the certificate” enter whatever you want
  10. Click OK and you should get a message that the certificate was installed

You should then be able to see the SSL files in Charles. If you want to intercept and change the values you can use the "Map Local" tool which is really awesome:

  1. In Charles go to Tools > Map Local
  2. Select "Add entry"
  3. Enter the values for the file you want to replace
  4. In “Local path” select the file you want the app to load instead
  5. Click OK
  6. Make sure the entry is selected and click OK
  7. Run your app
  8. You should see in “Notes” that your file loads instead of the live one

Adding link a href to an element using css

You cannot simply add a link using CSS. CSS is used for styling.

You can style your using CSS.

If you want to give a link dynamically to then I will advice you to use jQuery or Javascript.

You can accomplish that very easily using jQuery.

I have done a sample for you. You can refer that.

URL : http://jsfiddle.net/zyk9w/

$('#link').attr('href','http://www.google.com');

This single line will do the trick.

How can I check if a string contains a character in C#?

How do I check CPU and Memory Usage in Java?

Since Java 1.5 the JDK comes with a new tool: JConsole wich can show you the CPU and memory usage of any 1.5 or later JVM. It can do charts of these parameters, export to CSV, show the number of classes loaded, the number of instances, deadlocks, threads etc...

What's the best practice to "git clone" into an existing folder?

To clone a git repo into an empty existing directory do the following:

cd myfolder
git clone https://myrepo.com/git.git . 

Notice the . at the end of your git clone command. That will download the repo into the current working directory.

Output Django queryset as JSON

It didn't work, because QuerySets are not JSON serializable.

1) In case of json.dumps you have to explicitely convert your QuerySet to JSON serializable objects:

class Model(model.Model):
    def as_dict(self):
        return {
            "id": self.id,
            # other stuff
        }

And the serialization:

dictionaries = [ obj.as_dict() for obj in self.get_queryset() ]
return HttpResponse(json.dumps({"data": dictionaries}), content_type='application/json')

2) In case of serializers. Serializers accept either JSON serializable object or QuerySet, but a dictionary containing a QuerySet is neither. Try this:

serializers.serialize("json", self.get_queryset())

How to convert .pfx file to keystore with private key?

Your PFX file should contain the private key within it. Export the private key and certificate directly from your PFX file (e.g. using OpenSSL) and import them into your Java keystore.

Edit

Further information:

  • Download OpenSSL for Windows here.
  • Export private key: openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem
  • Export certificate: openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem
  • Import private key and certificate into Java keystore using keytool.

Where's the IE7/8/9/10-emulator in IE11 dev tools?

I posted an answer to this already when someone else asked the same question (see How to bring back "Browser mode" in IE11?).

Read my answer there for a fuller explaination, but in short:

  • They removed it deliberately, because compat mode is not actually really very good for testing compatibility.

  • If you really want to test for compatibility with any given version of IE, you need to test in a real copy of that IE version. MS provide free VMs on http://modern.ie/ for you to use for this purpose.

  • The only way to get compat mode in IE11 is to set the X-UA-Compatible header. When you have this and the site defaults to compat mode, you will be able to set the mode in dev tools, but only between edge or the specified compat mode; other modes will still not be available.

Entity Framework .Remove() vs. .DeleteObject()

It's not generally correct that you can "remove an item from a database" with both methods. To be precise it is like so:

  • ObjectContext.DeleteObject(entity) marks the entity as Deleted in the context. (It's EntityState is Deleted after that.) If you call SaveChanges afterwards EF sends a SQL DELETE statement to the database. If no referential constraints in the database are violated the entity will be deleted, otherwise an exception is thrown.

  • EntityCollection.Remove(childEntity) marks the relationship between parent and childEntity as Deleted. If the childEntity itself is deleted from the database and what exactly happens when you call SaveChanges depends on the kind of relationship between the two:

    • If the relationship is optional, i.e. the foreign key that refers from the child to the parent in the database allows NULL values, this foreign will be set to null and if you call SaveChanges this NULL value for the childEntity will be written to the database (i.e. the relationship between the two is removed). This happens with a SQL UPDATE statement. No DELETE statement occurs.

    • If the relationship is required (the FK doesn't allow NULL values) and the relationship is not identifying (which means that the foreign key is not part of the child's (composite) primary key) you have to either add the child to another parent or you have to explicitly delete the child (with DeleteObject then). If you don't do any of these a referential constraint is violated and EF will throw an exception when you call SaveChanges - the infamous "The relationship could not be changed because one or more of the foreign-key properties is non-nullable" exception or similar.

    • If the relationship is identifying (it's necessarily required then because any part of the primary key cannot be NULL) EF will mark the childEntity as Deleted as well. If you call SaveChanges a SQL DELETE statement will be sent to the database. If no other referential constraints in the database are violated the entity will be deleted, otherwise an exception is thrown.

I am actually a bit confused about the Remarks section on the MSDN page you have linked because it says: "If the relationship has a referential integrity constraint, calling the Remove method on a dependent object marks both the relationship and the dependent object for deletion.". This seems unprecise or even wrong to me because all three cases above have a "referential integrity constraint" but only in the last case the child is in fact deleted. (Unless they mean with "dependent object" an object that participates in an identifying relationship which would be an unusual terminology though.)

How to add a recyclerView inside another recyclerView

you can use LayoutInflater to inflate your dynamic data as a layout file.

UPDATE : first create a LinearLayout inside your CardView's layout and assign an ID for it. after that create a layout file that you want to inflate. at last in your onBindViewHolder method in your "RAdaper" class. write these codes :

  mInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

  view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_list_custom_row, parent, false);

after that you can initialize data and ClickListeners with your RAdapter Data. hope it helps.

this and this may useful :)
