How to bundle vendor scripts separately and require them as needed with Webpack?

Also not sure if I fully understand your case, but here is config snippet to create separate vendor chunks for each of your bundles:

entry: {
  bundle1: './build/bundles/bundle1.js',
  bundle2: './build/bundles/bundle2.js',
  'vendor-bundle1': [
    'react',
    'react-router'
  ],
  'vendor-bundle2': [
    'react',
    'react-router',
    'flummox',
    'immutable'
  ]
},

plugins: [
  new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
    name: 'vendor-bundle1',
    chunks: ['bundle1'],
    filename: 'vendor-bundle1.js',
    minChunks: Infinity
  }),
  new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
    name: 'vendor-bundle2',
    chunks: ['bundle2'],
    filename: 'vendor-bundle2-whatever.js',
    minChunks: Infinity
  }),
]

And link to CommonsChunkPlugin docs: http://webpack.github.io/docs/list-of-plugins.html#commonschunkplugin

Inserting an item in a Tuple

t = (1,2,3,4,5)

t= t + (6,7)

output :

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

Cannot open include file: 'stdio.h' - Visual Studio Community 2017 - C++ Error

Similar problem for me but a little different. I can compile and run the default CUDA 10 code with no problem, but there are a lots of error related to the stdio.h file show in the edit window. Which is annoying. I solve it by change the code file name from "kernel.cu" to "kernel.cpp". That is wired but works for me. And it runs well so far.

String formatting: % vs. .format vs. string literal

% gives better performance than format from my test.

Test code:

Python 2.7.2:

import timeit
print 'format:', timeit.timeit("'{}{}{}'.format(1, 1.23, 'hello')")
print '%:', timeit.timeit("'%s%s%s' % (1, 1.23, 'hello')")

Result:

> format: 0.470329046249
> %: 0.357107877731

Python 3.5.2

import timeit
print('format:', timeit.timeit("'{}{}{}'.format(1, 1.23, 'hello')"))
print('%:', timeit.timeit("'%s%s%s' % (1, 1.23, 'hello')"))

Result

> format: 0.5864730989560485
> %: 0.013593495357781649

It looks in Python2, the difference is small whereas in Python3, % is much faster than format.

Thanks @Chris Cogdon for the sample code.

Edit 1:

Tested again in Python 3.7.2 in July 2019.

Result:

> format: 0.86600608
> %: 0.630180146

There is not much difference. I guess Python is improving gradually.

Edit 2:

After someone mentioned python 3's f-string in comment, I did a test for the following code under python 3.7.2 :

import timeit
print('format:', timeit.timeit("'{}{}{}'.format(1, 1.23, 'hello')"))
print('%:', timeit.timeit("'%s%s%s' % (1, 1.23, 'hello')"))
print('f-string:', timeit.timeit("f'{1}{1.23}{\"hello\"}'"))

Result:

format: 0.8331376779999999
%: 0.6314778750000001
f-string: 0.766649943

It seems f-string is still slower than % but better than format.

Convert Datetime column from UTC to local time in select statement

For anyone still trying to solve this issue, here's a proof of concept that works in SQL Server 2017

 declare
    @StartDate date = '2020-01-01'

;with cte_utc as
(
    select 
         1 as i
        ,CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate) AS UTC
        ,datepart(weekday, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as Weekday
        ,datepart(month, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as [Month]
        ,datepart(YEAR, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as [Year]
        
    union all

    Select
         i + 1
        ,dateadd(d, 1, utc)
        ,datepart(weekday, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as Weekday
        ,datepart(month, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as [Month]
        ,datepart(YEAR, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as [Year]
    from    
        cte_utc
    where
        (i + 1) < 32767

), cte_utc_dates as 
(
    select 
        *,
        DENSE_RANK()OVER(PARTITION BY [Year], [Month], [Weekday] ORDER BY Utc) WeekDayIndex
    from
        cte_utc

), cte_hours as (
    select 0 as [Hour]
    union all
    select [Hour] + 1 from cte_hours where [Hour] < 23
)

select
    d.*
    , DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AS UtcTime
    ,CONVERT(datetime, DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Central Standard Time') CST
    ,CONVERT(datetime, DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time') EST
from
    cte_utc_dates d, cte_hours h
where
    ([Month] = 3 and [Weekday] = 1 and WeekDayIndex = 2 )-- dst start
    or 
    ([Month] = 11 and [Weekday] = 1 and WeekDayIndex = 1 )-- dst end

How to pip install a package with min and max version range?

An elegant method would be to use the ~= compatible release operator according to PEP 440. In your case this would amount to:

package~=0.5.0

As an example, if the following versions exist, it would choose 0.5.9:

0.5.0
0.5.9
0.6.0

For clarification, each pair is equivalent:

~= 0.5.0
>= 0.5.0, == 0.5.*

~= 0.5
>= 0.5, == 0.*

How to print matched regex pattern using awk?

Using sed can also be elegant in this situation. Example (replace line with matched group "yyy" from line):

$ cat testfile
xxx yyy zzz
yyy xxx zzz
$ cat testfile | sed -r 's#^.*(yyy).*$#\1#g'
yyy
yyy

how to read value from string.xml in android?

while u write R. you are referring to the R.java class created by eclipse, use getResources().getString() and pass the id of the resource from which you are trying to read inside the getString() method.

Example : String[] yourStringArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Your_array);

Oracle listener not running and won't start

I managed to resolve the issue that caused the configuration to fail on a docker container running the Hortonworks HDP 2.6 Sandbox.

If the initial configuration fails the listener will be running and will have to be killed first:

ps -aux | grep tnslsnr
kill {process id identified above}

Then next step is then to fix the shared memory issue which makes the configuration process fail.

Oracle XE requires 1 Gb of shared memory and fails otherwise (I didn't try 512 mb) according to https://blogs.oracle.com/oraclewebcentersuite/implement-oracle-database-xe-as-docker-containers.

vi /etc/fstab

change/add the line to:

tmpfs    /dev/shm     tmpfs   defaults,size=1024m 0 0

Then reload the configuration by:

mount -a

Keep in mind that the next time you restart the docker container you might have to do 'mount -a'.

How to convert a factor to integer\numeric without loss of information?

It is possible only in the case when the factor labels match the original values. I will explain it with an example.

Assume the data is vector x:

x <- c(20, 10, 30, 20, 10, 40, 10, 40)

Now I will create a factor with four labels:

f <- factor(x, levels = c(10, 20, 30, 40), labels = c("A", "B", "C", "D"))

1) x is with type double, f is with type integer. This is the first unavoidable loss of information. Factors are always stored as integers.

> typeof(x)
[1] "double"
> typeof(f)
[1] "integer"

2) It is not possible to revert back to the original values (10, 20, 30, 40) having only f available. We can see that f holds only integer values 1, 2, 3, 4 and two attributes - the list of labels ("A", "B", "C", "D") and the class attribute "factor". Nothing more.

> str(f)
 Factor w/ 4 levels "A","B","C","D": 2 1 3 2 1 4 1 4
> attributes(f)
$levels
[1] "A" "B" "C" "D"

$class
[1] "factor"

To revert back to the original values we have to know the values of levels used in creating the factor. In this case c(10, 20, 30, 40). If we know the original levels (in correct order), we can revert back to the original values.

> orig_levels <- c(10, 20, 30, 40)
> x1 <- orig_levels[f]
> all.equal(x, x1)
[1] TRUE

And this will work only in case when labels have been defined for all possible values in the original data.

So if you will need the original values, you have to keep them. Otherwise there is a high chance it will not be possible to get back to them only from a factor.

Swift: Sort array of objects alphabetically

With Swift 3, you can choose one of the following ways to solve your problem.

1. Using `sorted(by:?)` with a `Movie` class that does not conform to `Comparable` protocol

If your Movie class does not conform to Comparable protocol, you must specify in your closure the property on which you wish to use Array's sorted(by:?) method.

Movie class declaration:

import Foundation

class Movie: CustomStringConvertible {

    let name: String
    var date: Date
    var description: String { return name }

    init(name: String, date: Date = Date()) {
        self.name = name
        self.date = date
    }

}

Usage:

let avatarMovie = Movie(name: "Avatar")
let titanicMovie = Movie(name: "Titanic")
let piranhaMovie = Movie(name: "Piranha II: The Spawning")

let movies = [avatarMovie, titanicMovie, piranhaMovie]
let sortedMovies = movies.sorted(by: { $0.name < $1.name })
// let sortedMovies = movies.sorted { $0.name < $1.name } // also works

print(sortedMovies)

/*
prints: [Avatar, Piranha II: The Spawning, Titanic]
*/

2. Using `sorted(by:?)` with a `Movie` class that conforms to `Comparable` protocol

However, by making your Movie class conform to Comparable protocol, you can have a much concise code when you want to use Array's sorted(by:?) method.

Movie class declaration:

import Foundation

class Movie: CustomStringConvertible, Comparable {

    let name: String
    var date: Date
    var description: String { return name }

    init(name: String, date: Date = Date()) {
        self.name = name
        self.date = date
    }

    static func ==(lhs: Movie, rhs: Movie) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name == rhs.name
    }

    static func <(lhs: Movie, rhs: Movie) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name < rhs.name
    }

}

Usage:

let avatarMovie = Movie(name: "Avatar")
let titanicMovie = Movie(name: "Titanic")
let piranhaMovie = Movie(name: "Piranha II: The Spawning")

let movies = [avatarMovie, titanicMovie, piranhaMovie]
let sortedMovies = movies.sorted(by: { $0 < $1 })
// let sortedMovies = movies.sorted { $0 < $1 } // also works
// let sortedMovies = movies.sorted(by: <) // also works

print(sortedMovies)

/*
 prints: [Avatar, Piranha II: The Spawning, Titanic]
 */

3. Using `sorted()` with a `Movie` class that conforms to `Comparable` protocol

By making your Movie class conform to Comparable protocol, you can use Array's sorted() method as an alternative to sorted(by:?).

Movie class declaration:

import Foundation

class Movie: CustomStringConvertible, Comparable {

    let name: String
    var date: Date
    var description: String { return name }

    init(name: String, date: Date = Date()) {
        self.name = name
        self.date = date
    }

    static func ==(lhs: Movie, rhs: Movie) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name == rhs.name
    }

    static func <(lhs: Movie, rhs: Movie) -> Bool {
        return lhs.name < rhs.name
    }

}

Usage:

let avatarMovie = Movie(name: "Avatar")
let titanicMovie = Movie(name: "Titanic")
let piranhaMovie = Movie(name: "Piranha II: The Spawning")

let movies = [avatarMovie, titanicMovie, piranhaMovie]
let sortedMovies = movies.sorted()

print(sortedMovies)

/*
 prints: [Avatar, Piranha II: The Spawning, Titanic]
 */

Visual c++ can't open include file 'iostream'

quick fix for small programs:

add: #include <cstdlib>

Convert UTF-8 to base64 string

It's a little difficult to tell what you're trying to achieve, but assuming you're trying to get a Base64 string that when decoded is abcdef==, the following should work:

byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("abcdef==");
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);
Console.WriteLine(base64);

This will output: YWJjZGVmPT0= which is abcdef== encoded in Base64.

Edit:

To decode a Base64 string, simply use Convert.FromBase64String(). E.g.

string base64 = "YWJjZGVmPT0=";
byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64);

At this point, bytes will be a byte[] (not a string). If we know that the byte array represents a string in UTF8, then it can be converted back to the string form using:

string str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
Console.WriteLine(str);

This will output the original input string, abcdef== in this case.

Checking for directory and file write permissions in .NET

The answers by Richard and Jason are sort of in the right direction. However what you should be doing is computing the effective permissions for the user identity running your code. None of the examples above correctly account for group membership for example.

I'm pretty sure Keith Brown had some code to do this in his wiki version (offline at this time) of The .NET Developers Guide to Windows Security. This is also discussed in reasonable detail in his Programming Windows Security book.

Computing effective permissions is not for the faint hearted and your code to attempt creating a file and catching the security exception thrown is probably the path of least resistance.

Is there a TRY CATCH command in Bash

Below is an complete copy of the simplified script used in my other answer. Beyond additional error checking, there is an alias which allows the user to change the name of an existing alias. The syntax is given below. If the new_alias parameter is omitted, then the alias is removed.

How to open a web page automatically in full screen mode

For Chrome via Chrome Fullscreen API

Note that for (Chrome) security reasons it cannot be called or executed automatically, there must be an interaction from the user first. (Such as button click, keydown/keypress etc.)

addEventListener("click", function() {
    var
          el = document.documentElement
        , rfs =
               el.requestFullScreen
            || el.webkitRequestFullScreen
            || el.mozRequestFullScreen
    ;
    rfs.call(el);
});

Javascript Fullscreen API as demo'd by David Walsh that seems to be a cross browser solution

// Find the right method, call on correct element
function launchFullScreen(element) {
  if(element.requestFullScreen) {
    element.requestFullScreen();
  } else if(element.mozRequestFullScreen) {
    element.mozRequestFullScreen();
  } else if(element.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
    element.webkitRequestFullScreen();
  }
}

// Launch fullscreen for browsers that support it!
launchFullScreen(document.documentElement); // the whole page
launchFullScreen(document.getElementById("videoElement")); // any individual element

Graphviz: How to go from .dot to a graph?

there is no requirement of any conversion.

We can simply use xdot command in Linux which is an Interactive viewer for Graphviz dot files.

ex: xdot file.dot

How can I escape a double quote inside double quotes?

Use a backslash:

echo "\""     # Prints one " character.

Find what 2 numbers add to something and multiply to something

With the multiplication, I recommend using the modulo operator (%) to determine which numbers divide evenly into the target number like:

$factors = array();
for($i = 0; $i < $target; $i++){
    if($target % $i == 0){
        $temp = array()
        $a = $i;
        $b = $target / $i;
        $temp["a"] = $a;
        $temp["b"] = $b;
        $temp["index"] = $i;
        array_push($factors, $temp);
    }
}

This would leave you with an array of factors of the target number.

request exceeds the configured maxQueryStringLength when using [Authorize]

When an unauthorized request comes in, the entire request is URL encoded, and added as a query string to the request to the authorization form, so I can see where this may result in a problem given your situation.

According to MSDN, the correct element to modify to reset maxQueryStringLength in web.config is the <httpRuntime> element inside the <system.web> element, see httpRuntime Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema). Try modifying that element.

Converting 24 hour time to 12 hour time w/ AM & PM using Javascript

You're going to end up doing alot of string manipulation anyway, so why not just manipulate the date string itself?

Browsers format the date string differently.

Netscape ::: Fri May 11 2012 20:15:49 GMT-0600 (Mountain Daylight Time)

IE ::: Fri May 11 20:17:33 MDT 2012

so you'll have to check for that.

var D = new Date().toString().split(' ')[(document.all)?3:4];

That will set D equal to the 24-hour HH:MM:SS string. Split that on the colons, and the first element will be the hours.

var H = new Date().toString().split(' ')[(document.all)?3:4].split(':')[0];

You can convert 24-hour hours into 12-hour hours, but that hasn't actually been mentioned here. Probably because it's fairly CRAZY what you're actually doing mathematically when you convert hours from clocks. In fact, what you're doing is adding 23, mod'ing that by 12, and adding 1

twelveHour = ((twentyfourHour+23)%12)+1;

So, for example, you could grab the whole time from the date string, mod the hours, and display all that with the new hours.

var T = new Date().toString().split(' ')[(document.all)?3:4].split(':');
T[0] = (((T[0])+23)%12)+1;
alert(T.join(':'));

With some smart regex, you can probably pull the hours off the HH:MM:SS part of the date string, and mod them all in the same line. It would be a ridiculous line because the backreference $1 couldn't be used in calculations without putting a function in the replace.

Here's how that would look:

var T = new Date().toString().split(' ')[(document.all)?3:4].replace(/(^\d\d)/,function(){return ((parseInt(RegExp.$1)+23)%12)+1} );

Which, as I say, is ridiculous. If you're using a library that CAN perform calculations on backreferences, the line becomes:

var T = new Date().toString().split(' ')[(document.all)?3:4].replace(/(^\d\d)/, (($1+23)%12)+1);

And that's not actually out of the question as useable code, if you document it well. That line says:

Make a Date string, break it up on the spaces, get the browser-apropos part, and replace the first two-digit-number with that number mod'ed.

Point of the story is, the way to convert 24-hour-clock hours to 12-hour-clock hours is a non-obvious mathematical calculation:

You add 23, mod by 12, then add one more.

.keyCode vs. .which

I'd recommend event.key currently. MDN docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key

event.KeyCode and event.which both have nasty deprecated warnings at the top of their MDN pages:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/keyCode https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/which

For alphanumeric keys, event.key appears to be implemented identically across all browsers. For control keys (tab, enter, escape, etc), event.key has the same value across Chrome/FF/Safari/Opera but a different value in IE10/11/Edge (IEs apparently use an older version of the spec but match each other as of Jan 14 2018).

For alphanumeric keys a check would look something like:

event.key === 'a'

For control characters you'd need to do something like:

event.key === 'Esc' || event.key === 'Escape'

I used the example here to test on multiple browsers (I had to open in codepen and edit to get it to work with IE10): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/code

event.code is mentioned in a different answer as a possibility, but IE10/11/Edge don't implement it, so it's out if you want IE support.

How can I create Min stl priority_queue?

You can do it in multiple ways:
1. Using greater as comparison function :

 #include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    priority_queue<int,vector<int>,greater<int> >pq;
    pq.push(1);
    pq.push(2);
    pq.push(3);

    while(!pq.empty())
    {
        int r = pq.top();
        pq.pop();
        cout<<r<< " ";
    }
    return 0;
}

2. Inserting values by changing their sign (using minus (-) for positive number and using plus (+) for negative number :

int main()
{
    priority_queue<int>pq2;
    pq2.push(-1); //for +1
    pq2.push(-2); //for +2
    pq2.push(-3); //for +3
    pq2.push(4);  //for -4

    while(!pq2.empty())
    {
        int r = pq2.top();
        pq2.pop();
        cout<<-r<<" ";
    }

    return 0;
}

3. Using custom structure or class :

struct compare
{
    bool operator()(const int & a, const int & b)
    {
        return a>b;
    }
};

int main()
{

    priority_queue<int,vector<int>,compare> pq;
    pq.push(1);
    pq.push(2);
    pq.push(3);

    while(!pq.empty())
    {
        int r = pq.top();
        pq.pop();
        cout<<r<<" ";
    }

    return 0;
}

4. Using custom structure or class you can use priority_queue in any order. Suppose, we want to sort people in descending order according to their salary and if tie then according to their age.

    struct people
    {
        int age,salary;

    };
    struct compare{
    bool operator()(const people & a, const people & b)
        {
            if(a.salary==b.salary)
            {
                return a.age>b.age;
            }
            else
            {
                return a.salary>b.salary;
            }

    }
    };
    int main()
    {

        priority_queue<people,vector<people>,compare> pq;
        people person1,person2,person3;
        person1.salary=100;
        person1.age = 50;
        person2.salary=80;
        person2.age = 40;
        person3.salary = 100;
        person3.age=40;


        pq.push(person1);
        pq.push(person2);
        pq.push(person3);

        while(!pq.empty())
        {
            people r = pq.top();
            pq.pop();
            cout<<r.salary<<" "<<r.age<<endl;
    }

Same result can be obtained by operator overloading :

struct people
{
int age,salary;

bool operator< (const people & p)const
{
    if(salary==p.salary)
    {
        return age>p.age;
    }
    else
    {
        return salary>p.salary;
    }
}};

In main function :

priority_queue<people> pq;
people person1,person2,person3;
person1.salary=100;
person1.age = 50;
person2.salary=80;
person2.age = 40;
person3.salary = 100;
person3.age=40;


pq.push(person1);
pq.push(person2);
pq.push(person3);

while(!pq.empty())
{
    people r = pq.top();
    pq.pop();
    cout<<r.salary<<" "<<r.age<<endl;
}

Tricks to manage the available memory in an R session

Tip for dealing with objects requiring heavy intermediate calculation: When using objects that require a lot of heavy calculation and intermediate steps to create, I often find it useful to write a chunk of code with the function to create the object, and then a separate chunk of code that gives me the option either to generate and save the object as an rmd file, or load it externally from an rmd file I have already previously saved. This is especially easy to do in R Markdown using the following code-chunk structure.

```{r Create OBJECT}

COMPLICATED.FUNCTION <- function(...) { Do heavy calculations needing lots of memory;
                                        Output OBJECT; }

```
```{r Generate or load OBJECT}

LOAD <- TRUE;
#NOTE: Set LOAD to TRUE if you want to load saved file
#NOTE: Set LOAD to FALSE if you want to generate and save

if(LOAD == TRUE) { OBJECT <- readRDS(file = 'MySavedObject.rds'); } else
                 { OBJECT <- COMPLICATED.FUNCTION(x, y, z);
                             saveRDS(file = 'MySavedObject.rds', object = OBJECT); }

```

With this code structure, all I need to do is to change LOAD depending on whether I want to generate and save the object, or load it directly from an existing saved file. (Of course, I have to generate it and save it the first time, but after this I have the option of loading it.) Setting LOAD = TRUE bypasses use of my complicated function and avoids all of the heavy computation therein. This method still requires enough memory to store the object of interest, but it saves you from having to calculate it each time you run your code. For objects that require a lot of heavy calculation of intermediate steps (e.g., for calculations involving loops over large arrays) this can save a substantial amount of time and computation.

Php - Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

I had same issue as mentioned " Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress" in resellerclub hosting.

I went through this thread and came to know that php version should be greater than > 5.6 so that wordpress will automatically gets converted to mysqli

Then logged into my cpanel searched for php in cpanel to check for the version, luckly was able to find that my version of php was 5.2 and changed that to 5.6 by making sure mysqli is tick marked in the option window and saved it is working fine now.

Exception Error c0000005 in VC++

Exception code c0000005 is the code for an access violation. That means that your program is accessing (either reading or writing) a memory address to which it does not have rights. Most commonly this is caused by:

Accessing a stale pointer. That is accessing memory that has already been deallocated. Note that such stale pointer accesses do not always result in access violations. Only if the memory manager has returned the memory to the system do you get an access violation.
Reading off the end of an array. This is when you have an array of length N and you access elements with index >=N.

To solve the problem you'll need to do some debugging. If you are not in a position to get the fault to occur under your debugger on your development machine you should get a crash dump file and load it into your debugger. This will allow you to see where in the code the problem occurred and hopefully lead you to the solution. You'll need to have the debugging symbols associated with the executable in order to see meaningful stack traces.

REST API Authentication

You can use HTTP Basic or Digest Authentication. You can securely authenticate users using SSL on the top of it, however, it slows down the API a little bit.

Basic authentication - uses Base64 encoding on username and password
Digest authentication - hashes the username and password before sending them over the network.

OAuth is the best it can get. The advantages oAuth gives is a revokable or expirable token. Refer following on how to implement: Working Link from comments: https://www.ida.liu.se/~TDP024/labs/hmacarticle.pdf

How to import data from text file to mysql database

If your table is separated by others than tabs, you should specify it like...

LOAD DATA LOCAL

    OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'; ## ...and if text is enclosed, specify here

Is there a Java API that can create rich Word documents?

I have developed pure XML based word files in the past. I used .NET, but the language should not matter since it's truely XML. It was not the easiest thing to do (had a project that required it a couple years ago.) These do only work in Word 2007 or above - but all you need is Microsoft's white paper that describe what each tag does. You can accomplish all you want with the tags the same way as if you were using Word (of course a little more painful initially.)

Connecting an input stream to an outputstream

Just because you use a buffer doesn't mean the stream has to fill that buffer. In other words, this should be okay:

public static void copyStream(InputStream input, OutputStream output)
    throws IOException
{
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; // Adjust if you want
    int bytesRead;
    while ((bytesRead = input.read(buffer)) != -1)
    {
        output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    }
}

That should work fine - basically the read call will block until there's some data available, but it won't wait until it's all available to fill the buffer. (I suppose it could, and I believe FileInputStream usually will fill the buffer, but a stream attached to a socket is more likely to give you the data immediately.)

I think it's worth at least trying this simple solution first.

How do I center this form in css?

Another solution (without a wrapper) would be to set the form to display: table, which would make it act like a table so it would have the width of its largest child, and then apply margin: 0 auto to center it.

form {
    display: table;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

Change line width of lines in matplotlib pyplot legend

@ImportanceOfBeingErnest 's answer is good if you only want to change the linewidth inside the legend box. But I think it is a bit more complex since you have to copy the handles before changing legend linewidth. Besides, it can not change the legend label fontsize. The following two methods can not only change the linewidth but also the legend label text font size in a more concise way.

Method 1

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the individual lines inside legend and set line width
for line in leg.get_lines():
    line.set_linewidth(4)
# get label texts inside legend and set font size
for text in leg.get_texts():
    text.set_fontsize('x-large')

plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

Method 2

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the lines and texts inside legend box
leg_lines = leg.get_lines()
leg_texts = leg.get_texts()
# bulk-set the properties of all lines and texts
plt.setp(leg_lines, linewidth=4)
plt.setp(leg_texts, fontsize='x-large')
plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

The above two methods produce the same output image:

Use sudo with password as parameter

The -S switch makes sudo read the password from STDIN. This means you can do

echo mypassword | sudo -S command

to pass the password to sudo

However, the suggestions by others that do not involve passing the password as part of a command such as checking if the user is root are probably much better ideas for security reasons

Android Shared preferences for creating one time activity (example)

        // Create object of SharedPreferences.
        SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("mypref", 0);

        //now get Editor
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();

        //put your value
        editor.putString("name", required_Text);

        //commits your edits
        editor.commit();

       // Its used to retrieve data
       SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("mypref", 0);
       String name = sharedPref.getString("name", "");

       if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("required_Text")) {
          Log.v("Matched","Required Text Matched");
          } else {
               Log.v("Not Matched","Required Text Not Matched"); 
                 }

Are list-comprehensions and functional functions faster than "for loops"?

I have managed to modify some of @alpiii's code and discovered that List comprehension is a little faster than for loop. It might be caused by int(), it is not fair between list comprehension and for loop.

from functools import reduce
import datetime

def time_it(func, numbers, *args):
    start_t = datetime.datetime.now()
    for i in range(numbers):
        func(args[0])
    print (datetime.datetime.now()-start_t)

def square_sum1(numbers):
    return reduce(lambda sum, next: sum+next*next, numbers, 0)

def square_sum2(numbers):
    a = []
    for i in numbers:
        a.append(i*2)
    a = sum(a)
    return a

def square_sum3(numbers):
    sqrt = lambda x: x*x
    return sum(map(sqrt, numbers))

def square_sum4(numbers):
    return(sum([i*i for i in numbers]))

time_it(square_sum1, 100000, [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3])
time_it(square_sum2, 100000, [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3])
time_it(square_sum3, 100000, [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3])
time_it(square_sum4, 100000, [1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3])

How do I find the mime-type of a file with php?

If you are working with Images only and you need mime type (e.g. for headers), then this is the fastest and most direct answer:

$file = 'path/to/image.jpg';
$image_mime = image_type_to_mime_type(exif_imagetype($file));

It will output true image mime type even if you rename your image file

Data binding for TextBox

We can use following code

textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", model, "Name", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);

Where

"Text" – the property of textbox
model – the model object enter code here
"Name" – the value of model which to bind the textbox.

Passing data to a bootstrap modal

I think you can make this work using jQuery's .on event handler.

Here's a fiddle you can test; just make sure to expand the HTML frame in the fiddle as much as possible so you can view the modal.

HTML

<p>Link 1</p>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-id="ISBN564541" title="Add this item" class="open-AddBookDialog btn btn-primary" href="#addBookDialog">test</a>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


<p>Link 2</p>
<a data-toggle="modal" data-id="ISBN-001122" title="Add this item" class="open-AddBookDialog btn btn-primary" href="#addBookDialog">test</a>

<div class="modal hide" id="addBookDialog">
 <div class="modal-header">
    <button class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
    <h3>Modal header</h3>
  </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <p>some content</p>
        <input type="text" name="bookId" id="bookId" value=""/>
    </div>
</div>

JAVASCRIPT

$(document).on("click", ".open-AddBookDialog", function () {
     var myBookId = $(this).data('id');
     $(".modal-body #bookId").val( myBookId );
     // As pointed out in comments, 
     // it is unnecessary to have to manually call the modal.
     // $('#addBookDialog').modal('show');

Tomcat is web server or application server?

Application Server:

Application server maintains the application logic and
serves the web pages in response to user request.

That means application server can do both application logic maintanence and web page serving.

Web Server:

Web server just serves the web pages and it cannot enforce any application logic.

Final conclusion is: Application server also contains the web server.

Algorithm to generate all possible permutations of a list?

It's my solution on Java:

public class CombinatorialUtils {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> alphabet = new ArrayList<>();
        alphabet.add("1");
        alphabet.add("2");
        alphabet.add("3");
        alphabet.add("4");

        for (List<String> strings : permutations(alphabet)) {
            System.out.println(strings);
        }
        System.out.println("-----------");
        for (List<String> strings : combinations(alphabet)) {
            System.out.println(strings);
        }
    }

    public static List<List<String>> combinations(List<String> alphabet) {
        List<List<String>> permutations = permutations(alphabet);
        List<List<String>> combinations = new ArrayList<>(permutations);

How to force Hibernate to return dates as java.util.Date instead of Timestamp?

There are some classes in the Java platform libraries that do extend an instantiable class and add a value component. For example, java.sql.Timestamp extends java.util.Date and adds a nanoseconds field. The equals implementation for Timestamp does violate symmetry and can cause erratic behavior if Timestamp and Date objects are used in the same collection or are otherwise intermixed. The Timestamp class has a disclaimer cautioning programmers against mixing dates and timestamps. While you won’t get into trouble as long as you keep them separate, there’s nothing to prevent you from mixing them, and the resulting errors can be hard to debug. This behavior of the Timestamp class was a mistake and should not be emulated.

Which Java library provides base64 encoding/decoding?

Java 9

Use the Java 8 solution. Note DatatypeConverter can still be used, but it is now within the java.xml.bind module which will need to be included.

module org.example.foo {
    requires java.xml.bind;
}

Java 8

Java 8 now provides java.util.Base64 for encoding and decoding base64.

Encoding

byte[] message = "hello world".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
String encoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(message);
System.out.println(encoded);
// => aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=

Decoding

byte[] decoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=");
System.out.println(new String(decoded, StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
// => hello world

Java 6 and 7

Since Java 6 the lesser known class javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter can be used. This is part of the JRE, no extra libraries required.

Encoding

byte[] message = "hello world".getBytes("UTF-8");
String encoded = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(message);
System.out.println(encoded);
// => aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=

Decoding

byte[] decoded = DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=");
System.out.println(new String(decoded, "UTF-8"));
// => hello world

How to loop over a Class attributes in Java?

While I agree with Jörn's answer if your class conforms to the JavaBeabs spec, here is a good alternative if it doesn't and you use Spring.

Spring has a class named ReflectionUtils that offers some very powerful functionality, including doWithFields(class, callback), a visitor-style method that lets you iterate over a classes fields using a callback object like this:

public void analyze(Object obj){
    ReflectionUtils.doWithFields(obj.getClass(), field -> {

        System.out.println("Field name: " + field.getName());
        field.setAccessible(true);
        System.out.println("Field value: "+ field.get(obj));

    });
}

But here's a warning: the class is labeled as "for internal use only", which is a pity if you ask me

Using `date` command to get previous, current and next month

The problem is that date takes your request quite literally and tries to use a date of 31st September (being 31st October minus one month) and then because that doesn't exist it moves to the next day which does. The date documentation (from info date) has the following advice:

The fuzz in units can cause problems with relative items. For example, `2003-07-31 -1 month' might evaluate to 2003-07-01, because 2003-06-31 is an invalid date. To determine the previous month more reliably, you can ask for the month before the 15th of the current month. For example:
 $ date -R
 Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:02:39 -0700
 $ date --date='-1 month' +'Last month was %B?'
 Last month was July?
 $ date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +'Last month was %B!'
 Last month was June!

maven compilation failure

I had the same problem and this is how I suggest you fix it:

Run:

mvn dependency:list

and read carefully if there are any warning messages indicating that for some dependencies there will be no transitive dependencies available.

If yes, re-run it with -X flag:

mvn dependency:list -X

to see detailed info what is maven complaining about (there might be a lot of output for -X flag)

In my case there was a problem in dependent maven module pom.xml - with managed dependency. Although there was a version for the managed dependency defined in parent pom, Maven was unable to resolve it and was complaining about missing version in the dependent pom.xml

So I just configured the missing version and the problem disappeared.

MySQL: @variable vs. variable. What's the difference?

In principle, I use UserDefinedVariables (prepended with @) within Stored Procedures. This makes life easier, especially when I need these variables in two or more Stored Procedures. Just when I need a variable only within ONE Stored Procedure, than I use a System Variable (without prepended @).

@Xybo: I don't understand why using @variables in StoredProcedures should be risky. Could you please explain "scope" and "boundaries" a little bit easier (for me as a newbe)?

Python 3 - ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

In this line:

for name, email, lastname in unpaidMembers.items():

unpaidMembers.items() must have only two values per iteration.

Here is a small example to illustrate the problem:

This will work:

for alpha, beta, delta in [("first", "second", "third")]:
    print("alpha:", alpha, "beta:", beta, "delta:", delta)

This will fail, and is what your code does:

for alpha, beta, delta in [("first", "second")]:
    print("alpha:", alpha, "beta:", beta, "delta:", delta)

In this last example, what value in the list is assigned to delta? Nothing, There aren't enough values, and that is the problem.

How to define two angular apps / modules in one page?

Manual bootstrapping both the modules will work. Look at this

  <!-- IN HTML -->
  <div id="dvFirst">
    <div ng-controller="FirstController">
      <p>1: {{ desc }}</p>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div id="dvSecond">
    <div ng-controller="SecondController ">
      <p>2: {{ desc }}</p>
    </div>
  </div>



// IN SCRIPT       
var dvFirst = document.getElementById('dvFirst');
var dvSecond = document.getElementById('dvSecond');

angular.element(document).ready(function() {
   angular.bootstrap(dvFirst, ['firstApp']);
   angular.bootstrap(dvSecond, ['secondApp']);
});

Here is the link to the Plunker http://plnkr.co/edit/1SdZ4QpPfuHtdBjTKJIu?p=preview

NOTE: In html, there is no ng-app. id has been used instead.

Random "Element is no longer attached to the DOM" StaleElementReferenceException

I was facing the same problem today and made up a wrapper class, which checks before every method if the element reference is still valid. My solution to retrive the element is pretty simple so i thought i'd just share it.

private void setElementLocator()
{
    this.locatorVariable = "selenium_" + DateTimeMethods.GetTime().ToString();
    ((IJavaScriptExecutor)this.driver).ExecuteScript(locatorVariable + " = arguments[0];", this.element);
}

private void RetrieveElement()
{
    this.element = (IWebElement)((IJavaScriptExecutor)this.driver).ExecuteScript("return " + locatorVariable);
}

You see i "locate" or rather save the element in a global js variable and retrieve the element if needed. If the page gets reloaded this reference will not work anymore. But as long as only changes are made to doom the reference stays. And that should do the job in most cases.

Also it avoids re-searching the element.

How to make UIButton's text alignment center? Using IB

UIButton will not support setTextAlignment. So You need to go with setContentHorizontalAlignment for button text alignment

For your reference

[buttonName setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];

How to flip background image using CSS?

You can flip both vertical and horizontal at the same time

    -moz-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);

And with the transition property you can get a cool flip

    -webkit-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -moz-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -o-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition-property: transform;
    transition-duration: .4s;
    transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    transition-delay: 0ms;

Actually it flips the whole element, not just the background-image

Tomcat Server Error - Port 8080 already in use

I have encountered this issue many times. If port 8080 is already in use that means there is any Process ( or it child process) which is using this port

Two Way to Solve this issue:

Change the Port number and this issue will be solved
We will find the PID i.e Process Id and then we will kill the process of child process which is using this Port.

Find PID:Process ID (every process has unique PID) c:user>user_name>netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0.8080

Now we need to kill this process

cmd ->Run as Admin

C:\Windows\system32>taskkill /F /T /PID 2160

"taskkill /F /T /PID 2160" -> "2160" is the process ID Now your server can use this port 8080

Objective-C declared @property attributes (nonatomic, copy, strong, weak)

nonatomic property means @synthesized methods are not going to be generated threadsafe -- but this is much faster than the atomic property since extra checks are eliminated.

strong is used with ARC and it basically helps you , by not having to worry about the retain count of an object. ARC automatically releases it for you when you are done with it.Using the keyword strong means that you own the object.

weak ownership means that you don't own it and it just keeps track of the object till the object it was assigned to stays , as soon as the second object is released it loses is value. For eg. obj.a=objectB; is used and a has weak property , than its value will only be valid till objectB remains in memory.

copy property is very well explained here

strong,weak,retain,copy,assign are mutually exclusive so you can't use them on one single object... read the "Declared Properties " section

hoping this helps you out a bit...

Java error: Comparison method violates its general contract

I had the same symptom. For me it turned out that another thread was modifying the compared objects while the sorting was happening in a Stream. To resolve the issue, I mapped the objects to immutable temporary objects, collected the Stream to a temporary Collection and did the sorting on that.

Passing parameters to a JQuery function

Do you want to pass parameters to another page or to the function only?

If only the function, you don't need to add the $.ajax() tvanfosson added. Just add your function content instead. Like:

function DoAction (id, name ) {
    // ...
    // do anything you want here
    alert ("id: "+id+" - name: "+name);
    //...
}

This will return an alert box with the id and name values.

AWS S3: how do I see how much disk space is using

The AWS CLI now supports the --query parameter which takes a JMESPath expressions.

This means you can sum the size values given by list-objects using sum(Contents[].Size) and count like length(Contents[]).

This can be be run using the official AWS CLI as below and was introduced in Feb 2014

 aws s3api list-objects --bucket BUCKETNAME --output json --query "[sum(Contents[].Size), length(Contents[])]"

Alternative to the HTML Bold tag

The <b> tag is alive and well. <b> is not deprecated, but its use has been clarified and limited. <b> has no semantic meaning, nor does it convey vocal emphasis such as might be spoken by a screen reader. <b> does, however, convey printed empasis, as does the <i> tag. Both have a specific place in typograpghy, but not in spoken communication, mes frères.

To quote from http://www.whatwg.org/

The b element represents a span of text to be stylistically offset from the normal prose without conveying any extra importance, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, or other spans of text whose typical typographic presentation is boldened.

Conversion between UTF-8 ArrayBuffer and String

function stringToUint(string) {
    var string = btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(string))),
        charList = string.split(''),
        uintArray = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < charList.length; i++) {
        uintArray.push(charList[i].charCodeAt(0));
    }
    return new Uint8Array(uintArray);
}

function uintToString(uintArray) {
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uintArray),
        decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(encodedString)));
    return decodedString;
}

I have done, with some help from the internet, these little functions, they should solve your problems! Here is the working JSFiddle.

EDIT:

Since the source of the Uint8Array is external and you can't use atob you just need to remove it(working fiddle):

function uintToString(uintArray) {
    var encodedString = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uintArray),
        decodedString = decodeURIComponent(escape(encodedString));
    return decodedString;
}

Warning: escape and unescape is removed from web standards. See this.

Is there a destructor for Java?

I fully agree to other answers, saying not to rely on the execution of finalize.

In addition to try-catch-finally blocks, you may use Runtime#addShutdownHook (introduced in Java 1.3) to perform final cleanups in your program.

That isn't the same as destructors are, but one may implement a shutdown hook having listener objects registered on which cleanup methods (close persistent database connections, remove file locks, and so on) can be invoked - things that would normally be done in destructors. Again - this is not a replacement for destructors but in some cases, you can approach the wanted functionality with this.

The advantage of this is having deconstruction behavior loosely coupled from the rest of your program.

jQuery Validation plugin: disable validation for specified submit buttons

You can add a CSS class of cancel to a submit button to suppress the validation

e.g

<input class="cancel" type="submit" value="Save" />

See the jQuery Validator documentation of this feature here: Skipping validation on submit

EDIT:

The above technique has been deprecated and replaced with the formnovalidate attribute.

<input formnovalidate="formnovalidate" type="submit" value="Save" />

how to realize countifs function (excel) in R

Table is the obvious choice, but it returns an object of class table which takes a few annoying steps to transform back into a data.frame So, if you're OK using dplyr, you use the command tally:

    library(dplyr)
    df = data.frame(sex=sample(c("M", "F"), 100000, replace=T), occupation=sample(c('Analyst', 'Student'), 100000, replace=T)
    df %>% group_by_all() %>% tally()


# A tibble: 4 x 3
# Groups:   sex [2]
  sex   occupation `n()`
  <fct> <fct>      <int>
1 F     Analyst    25105
2 F     Student    24933
3 M     Analyst    24769
4 M     Student    25193

How do I restrict a float value to only two places after the decimal point in C?

...or you can do it the old-fashioned way without any libraries:

float a = 37.777779;

int b = a; // b = 37    
float c = a - b; // c = 0.777779   
c *= 100; // c = 77.777863   
int d = c; // d = 77;    
a = b + d / (float)100; // a = 37.770000;

That of course if you want to remove the extra information from the number.

Why is JavaFX is not included in OpenJDK 8 on Ubuntu Wily (15.10)?

According to the packages list in Ubuntu ~~Wily~~ ~~Xenial~~ Bionic there is a package named openjfx. This should be a candidate for what you're looking for:

JavaFX/OpenJFX 8 - Rich client application platform for Java

You can install it via:

sudo apt-get install openjfx

It provides the following JAR files to the OpenJDK installation on Ubuntu systems:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/jfxswt.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/lib/ant-javafx.jar
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/lib/javafx-mx.jar

If you want to have sources available, for example for debugging, you can additionally install:

sudo apt-get install openjfx-source

Spring expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency

If there is an interface anywhere in the ThreadProvider hierarchy try putting the name of the Interface as the type of your service provider, eg. if you have say this structure:

public class ThreadProvider implements CustomInterface{
...
}

Then in your controller try this:

@Controller
public class ChiusuraController {

    @Autowired
    private CustomInterface chiusuraProvider;
}

The reason why this is happening is, in your first case when you DID NOT have ChiusuraProvider extend ThreadProvider Spring probably was underlying creating a CGLIB based proxy for you(to handle the @Transaction).

When you DID extend from ThreadProvider assuming that ThreadProvider extends some interface, Spring in that case creates a Java Dynamic Proxy based Proxy, which would appear to be an implementation of that interface instead of being of ChisuraProvider type.

If you absolutely need to use ChisuraProvider you can try AspectJ as an alternative or force CGLIB based proxy in the case with ThreadProvider also this way:

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true"/>

Here is some more reference on this from the Spring Reference site: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/classic-aop-spring.html#classic-aop-pfb

How to convert C++ Code to C

A compiler consists of two major blocks: the 'front end' and the 'back end'. The front end of a compiler analyzes the source code and builds some form of a 'intermediary representation' of said source code which is much easier to analyze by a machine algorithm than is the source code (i.e. whereas the source code e.g. C++ is designed to help the human programmer to write code, the intermediary form is designed to help simplify the algorithm that analyzes said intermediary form easier). The back end of a compiler takes the intermediary form and then converts it to a 'target language'.

Now, the target language for general-use compilers are assembler languages for various processors, but there's nothing to prohibit a compiler back end to produce code in some other language, for as long as said target language is (at least) as flexible as a general CPU assembler.

Now, as you can probably imagine, C is definitely as flexible as a CPU's assembler, such that a C++ to C compiler is really no problem to implement from a technical pov.

So you have: C++ ---frontEnd---> someIntermediaryForm ---backEnd---> C

You may want to check these guys out: http://www.edg.com/index.php?location=c_frontend (the above link is just informative for what can be done, they license their front ends for tens of thousands of dollars)

PS As far as i know, there is no such a C++ to C compiler by GNU, and this totally beats me (if i'm right about this). Because the C language is fairly small and it's internal mechanisms are fairly rudimentary, a C compiler requires something like one man-year work (i can tell you this first hand cause i wrote such a compiler myself may years ago, and it produces a [virtual] stack machine intermediary code), and being able to have a maintained, up-to-date C++ compiler while only having to write a C compiler once would be a great thing to have...

Creating stored procedure with declare and set variables

You should try this syntax - assuming you want to have @OrderID as a parameter for your stored procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.YourStoredProcNameHere
   @OrderID INT
AS
BEGIN
 DECLARE @OrderItemID AS INT
 DECLARE @AppointmentID AS INT
 DECLARE @PurchaseOrderID AS INT
 DECLARE @PurchaseOrderItemID AS INT
 DECLARE @SalesOrderID AS INT
 DECLARE @SalesOrderItemID AS INT

 SELECT @OrderItemID = OrderItemID 
 FROM [OrderItem] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

 SELECT @AppointmentID = AppoinmentID 
 FROM [Appointment] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

 SELECT @PurchaseOrderID = PurchaseOrderID 
 FROM [PurchaseOrder] 
 WHERE OrderID = @OrderID

END

OF course, that only works if you're returning exactly one value (not multiple values!)

How can I turn a JSONArray into a JSONObject?

I have JSONObject like this: {"status":[{"Response":"success"}]}.

If I want to convert the JSONObject value, which is a JSONArray into JSONObject automatically without using any static value, here is the code for that.

JSONArray array=new JSONArray();
JSONObject obj2=new JSONObject();
obj2.put("Response", "success");
array.put(obj2);
JSONObject obj=new JSONObject();
obj.put("status",array);

Converting the JSONArray to JSON Object:

Iterator<String> it=obj.keys();
        while(it.hasNext()){
String keys=it.next();
JSONObject innerJson=new JSONObject(obj.toString());
JSONArray innerArray=innerJson.getJSONArray(keys);
for(int i=0;i<innerArray.length();i++){
JSONObject innInnerObj=innerArray.getJSONObject(i);
Iterator<String> InnerIterator=innInnerObj.keys();
while(InnerIterator.hasNext()){
System.out.println("InnInnerObject value is :"+innInnerObj.get(InnerIterator.next()));


 }
}

When does System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") return "c:\temp"

In MS Windows the temporary directory is set by the environment variable TEMP. In XP, the temporary directory was set per-user as Local Settings\Temp.

If you change your TEMP environment variable to C:\temp, then you get the same when you run :

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));

Laravel back button

The following is a complete Blade (the templating engine Laravel uses) solution:

The options array with the class is optional, in this case it specifies the styling for a Bootstrap 3 button.

git undo all uncommitted or unsaved changes

This will unstage all files you might have staged with git add:
```
git reset
```
This will revert all local uncommitted changes (should be executed in repo root):
```
git checkout .
```
You can also revert uncommitted changes only to particular file or directory:
```
git checkout [some_dir|file.txt]
```
Yet another way to revert all uncommitted changes (longer to type, but works from any subdirectory):
```
git reset --hard HEAD
```
This will remove all local untracked files, so only git tracked files remain:
```
git clean -fdx
```
WARNING: -x will also remove all ignored files, including ones specified by .gitignore! You may want to use -n for preview of files to be deleted.

To sum it up: executing commands below is basically equivalent to fresh git clone from original source (but it does not re-download anything, so is much faster):

git reset
git checkout .
git clean -fdx

Typical usage for this would be in build scripts, when you must make sure that your tree is absolutely clean - does not have any modifications or locally created object files or build artefacts, and you want to make it work very fast and to not re-clone whole repository every single time.

How to copy the first few lines of a giant file, and add a line of text at the end of it using some Linux commands?

I am assuming what you are trying to achieve is to insert a line after the first few lines of of a textfile.

head -n10 file.txt >> newfile.txt
echo "your line >> newfile.txt
tail -n +10 file.txt >> newfile.txt

If you don't want to rest of the lines from the file, just skip the tail part.

AngularJS app.run() documentation?

Specifically...

How and where is app.run() used? After module definition or after app.config(), after app.controller()?

Where:

In your package.js E.g. /packages/dashboard/public/controllers/dashboard.js

How:

Make it look like this

var app = angular.module('mean.dashboard', ['ui.bootstrap']);

app.controller('DashboardController', ['$scope', 'Global', 'Dashboard',
    function($scope, Global, Dashboard) {
        $scope.global = Global;
        $scope.package = {
            name: 'dashboard'
        };
        // ...
    }
]);

app.run(function(editableOptions) {
    editableOptions.theme = 'bs3'; // bootstrap3 theme. Can be also 'bs2', 'default'
});

set serveroutput on in oracle procedure

To understand the use of "SET SERVEROUTPUT ON" I will take an example

DECLARE
a number(10)  :=10;
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(a) ;
dbms_output.put_line('Hello World ! ')  ;
END ;

With an output : PL/SQl procedure successfully completed i.e without the expected output

And the main reason behind is that ,whatever we pass inside dbms_output.put_line(' ARGUMENT '/VALUES) i.e. ARGUMENT/VALUES , is internally stored inside a buffer in SGA(Shared Global Area ) memory area upto 2000 bytes .

*NOTE :***However one should note that this buffer is only created when we use **dbms_output package. And we need to set the environment variable only once for a session !!

And in order to fetch it from that buffer we need to set the environment variable for the session . It makes a lot of confusion to the beginners that we are setting the server output on ( because of its nomenclature ) , but unfortunately its nothing like that . Using SET SERVER OUTPUT ON are just telling the PL/SQL engine that

*Hey please print the ARGUMENT/VALUES that I will be passing inside dbms_output.put_line
and in turn PL/SQl run time engine prints the argument on the main console .

I think I am clear to you all . Wish you all the best . To know more about it with the architectural structure of Oracle Server Engine you can see my answer on Quora http://qr.ae/RojAn8

And to answer your question "One should use SET SERVER OUTPUT in the beginning of the session. "

Last non-empty cell in a column

I used HLOOKUP

A1 has a date; A2:A8 has forecasts captured at different times, I want the latest

=Hlookup(a1,a1:a8,count(a2:a8)+1)

This uses a standard hlookup formula with the lookup array defined by the number of entries.

How to download Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 (not 2017)

The "official" way to get the vs2015 is to go to https://my.visualstudio.com/ ; join the " Visual Studio Dev Essentials" and then search the relevant file to download https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202015%20with%20Update%203

Remove all subviews?

If you're using Swift, it's as simple as:

subviews.map { $0.removeFromSuperview }

It's similar in philosophy to the makeObjectsPerformSelector approach, however with a little more type safety.

how to break the _.each function in underscore.js

You can't break from the each method—it emulates the native forEach method's behavior, and the native forEach doesn't provide to escape the loop (other than throwing an exception).

However, all hope is not lost! You can use the Array.every method. :)

From that link:

every executes the provided callback function once for each element present in the array until it finds one where callback returns a false value. If such an element is found, the every method immediately returns false.

In other words, you could do something convoluted like this (link to JSFiddle):

[1, 2, 3, 4].every(function(n) {
    alert(n);
    return n !== 3;
});

This will alert 1 through 3, and then "break" out of the loop.

You're using underscore.js, so you'll be pleased to learn that it does provide an every method—they call it every, but as that link mentions, they also provide an alias called all.

C# - using List<T>.Find() with custom objects

Find() will find the element that matches the predicate that you pass as a parameter, so it is not related to Equals() or the == operator.

var element = myList.Find(e => [some condition on e]);

In this case, I have used a lambda expression as a predicate. You might want to read on this. In the case of Find(), your expression should take an element and return a bool.

In your case, that would be:

var reponse = list.Find(r => r.Statement == "statement1")

And to answer the question in the comments, this is the equivalent in .NET 2.0, before lambda expressions were introduced:

var response = list.Find(delegate (Response r) {
    return r.Statement == "statement1";
});

Running Windows batch file commands asynchronously

There's a third (and potentially much easier) option. If you want to spin up multiple instances of a single program, using a Unix-style command processor like Xargs or GNU Parallel can make that a fairly straightforward process.

There's a win32 Xargs clone called PPX2 that makes this fairly straightforward.

For instance, if you wanted to transcode a directory of video files, you could run the command:

dir /b *.mpg |ppx2 -P 4 -I {} -L 1 ffmpeg.exe -i "{}" -quality:v 1 "{}.mp4"

Picking this apart, dir /b *.mpg grabs a list of .mpg files in my current directory, the | operator pipes this list into ppx2, which then builds a series of commands to be executed in parallel; 4 at a time, as specified here by the -P 4 operator. The -L 1 operator tells ppx2 to only send one line of our directory listing to ffmpeg at a time.

After that, you just write your command line (ffmpeg.exe -i "{}" -quality:v 1 "{}.mp4"), and {} gets automatically substituted for each line of your directory listing.

It's not universally applicable to every case, but is a whole lot easier than using the batch file workarounds detailed above. Of course, if you're not dealing with a list of files, you could also pipe the contents of a textfile or any other program into the input of pxx2.

Android Studio cannot resolve R in imported project?

None of these answers helped me!

My problem was not a problem! The program could compile completely and run on the device but the IDE has given me an annoying syntax error. It has underlined the lines of codes that included "R.".

The way that I could solve this issue:

I just added these three classes in "myapp/gen/com.example.app/" folder:

BuildConfig

package com.example.app;
public final class BuildConfig {
    public final static boolean DEBUG = true;
}

Manifest

package com.example.app;
public final class Manifest {
}

package com.example.app;
public final class R {
}

jQuery get value of selected radio button

In your code, jQuery just looks for the first instance of an input with name q12_3, which in this case has a value of 1. You want an input with name q12_3 that is :checked.

$(function(){
    $("#submit").click(function() {     
        alert($("input[name=q12_3]:checked").val());
    });
});

Note that the above code is not the same as using .is(":checked"). jQuery's is() function returns a boolean (true or false) and not an element.

How do I purge a linux mail box with huge number of emails?

If you're using cyrus/sasl/imap on your mailserver, then one fast and efficient way to purge everything in a mailbox that is older then number of days specified is to use cyrus/imap ipurge command. For example, here is an example removing everything (be carefull!!), older then 30 days from user vleo. Notice, that you must be logged in as cyrus (imap mail administrator) user:

[cyrus@mailserver ~]$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 30 user.vleo Working on user.vleo... total messages 4 total bytes 113183 Deleted messages 0 Deleted bytes 0 Remaining messages 4 Remaining bytes 113183

A regex for version number parsing

I've seen a lot of answers, but... i have a new one. It works for me at least. I've added a new restriction. Version numbers can't start (major, minor or patch) with any zeros followed by others.

01.0.0 is not valid 1.0.0 is valid 10.0.10 is valid 1.0.0000 is not valid

^(?:(0\\.|([1-9]+\\d*)\\.))+(?:(0\\.|([1-9]+\\d*)\\.))+((0|([1-9]+\\d*)))$

It's based in a previous one. But i see this solution better... for me ;)

Enjoy!!!

Convert List to Pandas Dataframe Column

For Converting a List into Pandas Core Data Frame, we need to use DataFrame Method from pandas Package.

There are Different Ways to Perform the Above Operation.

import pandas as pd

pd.DataFrame({'Column_Name':Column_Data})

Column_Name : String
Column_Data : List Form

Data = pd.DataFrame(Column_Data)

Data.columns = ['Column_Name']

So, for the above mentioned issue, the code snippet is

import pandas as pd

Content = ['Thanks You',
           'Its fine no problem',
           'Are you sure']

Data = pd.DataFrame({'Text': Content})

Decrypt password created with htpasswd

.htpasswd entries are HASHES. They are not encrypted passwords. Hashes are designed not to be decryptable. Hence there is no way (unless you bruteforce for a loooong time) to get the password from the .htpasswd file.

What you need to do is apply the same hash algorithm to the password provided to you and compare it to the hash in the .htpasswd file. If the user and hash are the same then you're a go.

swift How to remove optional String Character

Although we might have different contexts, the below worked for me.

I wrapped every part of my variable in brackets and then added an exclamation mark outside the right closing bracket.

For example, print(documentData["mileage"]) is changed to:

print((documentData["mileage"])!)

A CORS POST request works from plain JavaScript, but why not with jQuery?

UPDATE: As TimK pointed out, this isn't needed with jquery 1.5.2 any more. But if you want to add custom headers or allow the use of credentials (username, password, or cookies, etc), read on.

I think I found the answer! (4 hours and a lot of cursing later)

//This does not work!!
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *

You need to manually specify all the headers you will accept (at least that was the case for me in FF 4.0 & Chrome 10.0.648.204).

jQuery's $.ajax method sends the "x-requested-with" header for all cross domain requests (i think its only cross domain).

So the missing header needed to respond to the OPTIONS request is:

//no longer needed as of jquery 1.5.2
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with

If you are passing any non "simple" headers, you will need to include them in your list (i send one more):

//only need part of this for my custom header
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with, x-requested-by

So to put it all together, here is my PHP:

// * wont work in FF w/ Allow-Credentials
//if you dont need Allow-Credentials, * seems to work
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://www.example.com');
//if you need cookies or login etc
header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true');
if ($this->getRequestMethod() == 'OPTIONS')
{
  header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
  header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 604800');
  //if you need special headers
  header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with');
  exit(0);
}

Trying to use Spring Boot REST to Read JSON String from POST

The issue appears with parsing the JSON from request body, tipical for an invalid JSON. If you're using curl on windows, try escaping the json like -d "{"name":"value"}" or even -d "{"""name""":"value"""}"

On the other hand you can ommit the content-type header in which case whetewer is sent will be converted to your String argument

What type of hash does WordPress use?

$hash_type$salt$password

If the hash does not use a salt, then there is no $ sign for that. The actual hash in your case is after the 2nd $

The reason for this is, so you can have many types of hashes with different salts and feeds that string into a function that knows how to match it with some other value.

How to find the difference in days between two dates?

on unix you should have GNU dates installed. you do not need to deviate from bash. here is the strung out solution considering days, just to show the steps. it can be simplified and extended to full dates.

DATE=$(echo `date`)
DATENOW=$(echo `date -d "$DATE" +%j`)
DATECOMING=$(echo `date -d "20131220" +%j`)
THEDAY=$(echo `expr $DATECOMING - $DATENOW`)

echo $THEDAY

Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

You can do it using streams map function like below, get result in new stream for further processing.

Stream<Fruit> newFruits = fruits.stream().map(fruit -> {fruit.name+="s"; return fruit;});
        newFruits.forEach(fruit->{
            System.out.println(fruit.name);
        });

How to return a value from init in Python?

From the documentation of __init__:

As a special constraint on constructors, no value may be returned; doing so will cause a TypeError to be raised at runtime.

As a proof, this code:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        return 2

f = Foo()

Gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_init.py", line 5, in <module>
    f = Foo()
TypeError: __init__() should return None, not 'int'

Reading From A Text File - Batch

Your code "for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (a.txt) do echo %%x" will work on most Windows Operating Systems unless you have modified commands.

So you could instead "cd" into the directory to read from before executing the "for /f" command to follow out the string. For instance if the file "a.txt" is located at C:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\desktop\a.txt then you'd use the following.

cd "C:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\desktop"
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (a.txt) do echo %%x
echo.
echo.
echo.
pause >nul
exit

But since this doesn't work on your computer for x reason there is an easier and more efficient way of doing this. Using the "type" command.

@echo off
color a
cls
cd "C:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\desktop"
type a.txt
echo.
echo.
pause >nul
exit

Or if you'd like them to select the file from which to write in the batch you could do the following.

@echo off
:A
color a
cls
echo Choose the file that you want to read.
echo.
echo.
tree
echo.
echo.
echo.
set file=
set /p file=File:
cls
echo Reading from %file%
echo.
type %file%
echo.
echo.
echo.
set re=
set /p re=Y/N?:
if %re%==Y goto :A
if %re%==y goto :A
exit

center a row using Bootstrap 3

We can also use col-md-offset like this, it would save us from an extra divs code. So instead of three divs we can do by using only one div:

<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">Centered content</div>

Pandas: Appending a row to a dataframe and specify its index label

df.loc will do the job :

How to create range in Swift?

I created the following extension:

extension String {
    func substring(from from:Int, to:Int) -> String? {
        if from<to && from>=0 && to<self.characters.count {
            let rng = self.startIndex.advancedBy(from)..<self.startIndex.advancedBy(to)
            return self.substringWithRange(rng)
        } else {
            return nil
        }
    }
}

example of use:

print("abcde".substring(from: 1, to: 10)) //nil
print("abcde".substring(from: 2, to: 4))  //Optional("cd")
print("abcde".substring(from: 1, to: 0))  //nil
print("abcde".substring(from: 1, to: 1))  //nil
print("abcde".substring(from: -1, to: 1)) //nil

What is the difference between required and ng-required?

AngularJS form elements look for the required attribute to perform validation functions. ng-required allows you to set the required attribute depending on a boolean test (for instance, only require field B - say, a student number - if the field A has a certain value - if you selected "student" as a choice)

As an example, <input required> and <input ng-required="true"> are essentially the same thing

If you are wondering why this is this way, (and not just make <input required="true"> or <input required="false">), it is due to the limitations of HTML - the required attribute has no associated value - its mere presence means (as per HTML standards) that the element is required - so angular needs a way to set/unset required value (required="false" would be invalid HTML)

Firefox setting to enable cross domain Ajax request

To allow cross domain:

enter about:config
accept to be careful
enter security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy in the search bar
change to false

You can now close the tab. Normally you can now make cross domain request with this config.

See here for more details.

Reading e-mails from Outlook with Python through MAPI

I had the same problem you did - didn't find much that worked. The following code, however, works like a charm.

import win32com.client

outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")

inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6) # "6" refers to the index of a folder - in this case,
                                    # the inbox. You can change that number to reference
                                    # any other folder
messages = inbox.Items
message = messages.GetLast()
body_content = message.body
print body_content

Static nested class in Java, why?

The Sun page you link to has some key differences between the two:

A nested class is a member of its enclosing class. Non-static nested classes (inner classes) have access to other members of the enclosing class, even if they are declared private. Static nested classes do not have access to other members of the enclosing class.
...

Note: A static nested class interacts with the instance members of its outer class (and other classes) just like any other top-level class. In effect, a static nested class is behaviorally a top-level class that has been nested in another top-level class for packaging convenience.

There is no need for LinkedList.Entry to be top-level class as it is only used by LinkedList (there are some other interfaces that also have static nested classes named Entry, such as Map.Entry - same concept). And since it does not need access to LinkedList's members, it makes sense for it to be static - it's a much cleaner approach.

As Jon Skeet points out, I think it is a better idea if you are using a nested class is to start off with it being static, and then decide if it really needs to be non-static based on your usage.

How to edit one specific row in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008?

What tool to use to draw file tree diagram

Graphviz - from the web page:

The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text language, and make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents; or display in an interactive graph browser. (Graphviz also supports GXL, an XML dialect.)

It's the simplest and most productive tool I've found to create a variety of boxes-and-lines diagrams. I have and use Visio and OmniGraffle, but there's always the temptation to make "just one more adjustment".

It's also quite easy to write code to produce the "dot file" format that Graphiz consumes, so automated diagram production is also nicely within reach.

Click through div to underlying elements

I'm adding this answer because I didn’t see it here in full. I was able to do this using elementFromPoint. So basically:

attach a click to the div you want to be clicked through
hide it
determine what element the pointer is on
fire the click on the element there.

var range-selector= $("")
    .css("position", "absolute").addClass("range-selector")
    .appendTo("")
    .click(function(e) {
        _range-selector.hide();

        $(document.elementFromPoint(e.clientX,e.clientY)).trigger("click");
    });

In my case the overlaying div is absolutely positioned—I am not sure if this makes a difference. This works on IE8/9, Safari Chrome and Firefox at least.

How to _really_ programmatically change primary and accent color in Android Lollipop?

I used the Dahnark's code but I also need to change the ToolBar background:

if (dark_ui) {
    this.setTheme(R.style.Theme_Dark);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
        getWindow().setNavigationBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.Theme_Dark_primary));
        getWindow().setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.Theme_Dark_primary_dark));
    }
} else {
    this.setTheme(R.style.Theme_Light);
}

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.app_bar);

if(dark_ui) {
    toolbar.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.Theme_Dark_primary));
}

Synchronous Requests in Node.js

You can do something exactly similar with the request library, but this is sync using const https = require('https'); or const http = require('http');, which should come with node.

Here is an example,

const https = require('https');

const http_get1 = {
    host : 'www.googleapis.com',
    port : '443',
    path : '/youtube/v3/search?arg=1',
    method : 'GET',
    headers : {
        'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
    }
};

const http_get2 = {
host : 'www.googleapis.com',
    port : '443',
    path : '/youtube/v3/search?arg=2',
    method : 'GET',
    headers : {
        'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
    }
};

let data1 = '';
let data2 = '';

function master() {

    if(!data1)
        return;

    if(!data2)
        return;

    console.log(data1);
    console.log(data2);

}

const req1 = https.request(http_get1, (res) => {
    console.log(res.headers);

    res.on('data', (chunk) => {
        data1 += chunk;
    });

    res.on('end', () => {
        console.log('done');
        master();
    });
});


const req2 = https.request(http_get2, (res) => {
    console.log(res.headers);

    res.on('data', (chunk) => {
        data2 += chunk;
    });

    res.on('end', () => {
        console.log('done');
        master();
    });
});

req1.end();
req2.end();

Multi-key dictionary in c#?

Sass calculate percent minus px

There is a calc function in both SCSS [compile-time] and CSS [run-time]. You're likely invoking the former instead of the latter.

For obvious reasons mixing units won't work compile-time, but will at run-time.

You can force the latter by using unquote, a SCSS function.

.selector { height: unquote("-webkit-calc(100% - 40px)"); }

How can I change the date format in Java?

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

 String stringdate1 = "28/04/2010";  

 try {

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

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

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

Storing a file in a database as opposed to the file system?

If you can move to SQL Server 2008, you can take advantage of the FILESTREAM support which gives you the best of both - the files are stored in the filesystem, but the database integration is much better than just storing a filepath in a varchar field. Your query can return a standard .NET file stream, which makes the integration a lot simpler.

Getting Started with FILESTREAM Storage

How to write data with FileOutputStream without losing old data?

Use the constructor that takes a File and a boolean

FileOutputStream(File file, boolean append)

and set the boolean to true. That way, the data you write will be appended to the end of the file, rather than overwriting what was already there.

python dataframe pandas drop column using int

Since there can be multiple columns with same name , we should first rename the columns. Here is code for the solution.

df.columns=list(range(0,len(df.columns)))
df.drop(columns=[1,2])#drop second and third columns

Generics in C#, using type of a variable as parameter

The point about generics is to give compile-time type safety - which means that types need to be known at compile-time.

You can call generic methods with types only known at execution time, but you have to use reflection:

// For non-public methods, you'll need to specify binding flags too
MethodInfo method = GetType().GetMethod("DoesEntityExist")
                             .MakeGenericMethod(new Type[] { t });
method.Invoke(this, new object[] { entityGuid, transaction });

Ick.

Can you make your calling method generic instead, and pass in your type parameter as the type argument, pushing the decision one level higher up the stack?

If you could give us more information about what you're doing, that would help. Sometimes you may need to use reflection as above, but if you pick the right point to do it, you can make sure you only need to do it once, and let everything below that point use the type parameter in a normal way.

Storing C++ template function definitions in a .CPP file

Let's take one example, let's say for some reason you want to have a template class:

//test_template.h:
#pragma once
#include <cstdio>

template <class T>
class DemoT
{
public:
    void test()
    {
        printf("ok\n");
    }
};

template <>
void DemoT<int>::test()
{
    printf("int test (int)\n");
}


template <>
void DemoT<bool>::test()
{
    printf("int test (bool)\n");
}

If you compile this code with Visual Studio - it works out of box. gcc will produce linker error (if same header file is used from multiple .cpp files):

error : multiple definition of `DemoT<int>::test()'; your.o: .../test_template.h:16: first defined here

It's possible to move implementation to .cpp file, but then you need to declare class like this -

//test_template.h:
#pragma once
#include <cstdio>

template <class T>
class DemoT
{
public:
    void test()
    {
        printf("ok\n");
    }
};

template <>
void DemoT<int>::test();

template <>
void DemoT<bool>::test();

// Instantiate parametrized template classes, implementation resides on .cpp side.
template class DemoT<bool>;
template class DemoT<int>;

And then .cpp will look like this:

//test_template.cpp:
#include "test_template.h"

template <>
void DemoT<int>::test()
{
    printf("int test (int)\n");
}


template <>
void DemoT<bool>::test()
{
    printf("int test (bool)\n");
}

Without two last lines in header file - gcc will work fine, but Visual studio will produce an error:

 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __cdecl DemoT<int>::test(void)" (?test@?$DemoT@H@@QEAAXXZ) referenced in function

template class syntax is optional in case if you want to expose function via .dll export, but this is applicable only for windows platform - so test_template.h could look like this:

//test_template.h:
#pragma once
#include <cstdio>

template <class T>
class DemoT
{
public:
    void test()
    {
        printf("ok\n");
    }
};

#ifdef _WIN32
    #define DLL_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport) 
#else
    #define DLL_EXPORT
#endif

template <>
void DLL_EXPORT DemoT<int>::test();

template <>
void DLL_EXPORT DemoT<bool>::test();

with .cpp file from previous example.

This however gives more headache to linker, so it's recommended to use previous example if you don't export .dll function.

Can I set text box to readonly when using Html.TextBoxFor?

In case if you have to apply your custom class you can use

  @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Birthday,   new Dictionary<string, object>() { {"readonly", "true"}, {"class", "commonField"} } )

Where are

commonField is CSS class

and Birthday could be string field that you probably can use to keep jQuery Datapicker date :)

<script>
             $(function () {
                 $("#Birthday").datepicker({

                 });
             });
  </script>

That's a real life example.

Angular 4: How to include Bootstrap?

Adding bootstrap current version 4 to angular:

1/ First you have to install those:

npm install jquery --save
npm install popper.js --save
npm install bootstrap --save

2/ Then add the needed script files to scripts in angular.json:

"scripts": [
  "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.slim.js",
  "node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.js",
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"
],

3/Finally add the Bootstrap CSS to the styles array in angular.json:

"styles": [
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css",
  "src/styles.css"
],`

golang why don't we have a set datastructure

Like Vatine wrote: Since go lacks generics it would have to be part of the language and not the standard library. For that you would then have to pollute the language with keywords set, union, intersection, difference, subset...

The other reason is, that it's not clear at all what the "right" implementation of a set is:

There is a functional approach:

func IsInEvenNumbers(n int) bool {
    if n % 2 == 0 {
        return true
    }
   return false
}

This is a set of all even ints. It has a very efficient lookup and union, intersect, difference and subset can easily be done by functional composition.

Or you do a has-like approach like Dali showed.

A map does not have that problem, since you store something associated with the value.

XSS filtering function in PHP

I found a solution for my problem with the posts with german umlaut. To provide from totally cleaning (killing) the posts, i encode the incoming data:

    *$data = utf8_encode($data);
    ... function ...*

And at last i decode the output to get correct signs:

    *$data = utf8_decode($data);*

Now the post go through the filter function and i get a correct result...

Why es6 react component works only with "export default"?

Add { } while importing and exporting: export { ... }; | import { ... } from './Template';

export → import { ... } from './Template'

export default → import ... from './Template'

Here is a working example:

// ExportExample.js
import React from "react";

function DefaultExport() {
  return "This is the default export";
}

function Export1() {
  return "Export without default 1";
}

function Export2() {
  return "Export without default 2";
}

export default DefaultExport;
export { Export1, Export2 };

// App.js
import React from "react";
import DefaultExport, { Export1, Export2 } from "./ExportExample";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <strong>
        <DefaultExport />
      </strong>
      <br />
      <Export1 />
      <br />
      <Export2 />
    </>
  );
}

Start an external application from a Google Chrome Extension?

Previously, you would do this through NPAPI plugins.

However, Google is now phasing out NPAPI for Chrome, so the preferred way to do this is using the native messaging API. The external application would have to register a native messaging host in order to exchange messages with your application.

Spring data JPA query with parameter properties

You could also solve it with an interface default method:

 @Query(select p from Person p where p.forename = :forename and p.surname = :surname)
User findByForenameAndSurname(@Param("surname") String lastname,
                         @Param("forename") String firstname);

default User findByName(Name name) {
  return findByForenameAndSurname(name.getLastname(), name.getFirstname());
}

Of course you'd still have the actual repository function publicly visible...

How to Refresh a Component in Angular

In my application i have component and all data is coming from API which i am calling in Component's constructor. There is button by which i am updating my page data. on button click i have save data in back end and refresh data. So to reload/refresh the component - as per my requirement - is only to refresh the data. if this is also your requirement then use the same code written in constructor of component.

Visual Studio Code: format is not using indent settings

I had a similar problem -- no matter what I did I couldn't get the tabsize to stick at 2, even though it is in my user settings -- that ended up being due to the EditorConfig extension. It looks for a .editorconfig file in your current working directory and, if it doesn't find one (or the one it finds doesn't specify root=true), it will continue looking at parent directories until it finds one.

Turns out I had a .editorconfig in a parent directory of the dir I put all my new code projects in, and it specified a tabSize of 4. Deleting that file fixed my issue.

How do I retrieve a textbox value using JQuery?

You need to use the val() function to get the textbox value. text does not exist as a property only as a function and even then its not the correct function to use in this situation.

var from = $("input#fromAddress").val()

val() is the standard function for getting the value of an input.

SQL Server procedure declare a list

I've always found it easier to invert the test against the list in situations like this. For instance...

SELECT 
    field0, field1, field2 
FROM 
    my_table 
WHERE 
    ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%'

This means that there is no complicated mish-mash required for the values that you are looking for.

As an example, if our list was ('1,2,3'), then we add a comma to the start and end of our list like so: ',' + @mysearchlist + ','.

We also do the same for the field value we're looking for and add wildcards: '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%' (notice the % and the , characters).

Finally we test the two using the LIKE operator: ',' + @mysearchlist + ',' LIKE '%,' + CAST(field3 AS VARCHAR) + ',%'.

Error "gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory" while compiling Nachos source code

gnu/stubs-32.h is not directed included in programms. It's a back-end type header file of gnu/stubs.h, just like gnu/stubs-64.h. You can install the multilib package to add both.

Converting integer to digit list

you can use:

First convert the value in a string to iterate it, Them each value can be convert to a Integer value = 12345

l = [ int(item) for item in str(value) ]

Pass Method as Parameter using C#

In order to provide a clear and complete answer, I'm going to start from the very beginning before coming up with three possible solutions.

A brief introduction

All languages that run on top of the CLR (Common Language Runtime), such as C#, F#, and Visual Basic, work under a VM that runs higher level code than machine code, which native languages like C and C++ are compiled to. It follows that methods aren't Assembly subroutines, nor are they values, unlike JavaScript as well as most functional languages; rather, they're definitions that CLR recognizes. Thus, you cannot think to pass a method as a parameter, because methods don't produce any values themselves, as they're not expressions but statements, which are stored in the generated assemblies. At this point, you'll face delegates.

What's a delegate?

A delegate represents a handle to a method (the term handle is to be preferred over pointer as it is implementation–dependent.) As I said above, a method is not a value, hence there's a special class in CLR languages, namely Delegate, which wraps up any method.

Look at the following example:

static void MyMethod()
{
    Console.WriteLine("I was called by the Delegate special class!");
}

static void CallAnyMethod(Delegate yourMethod)
{
    yourMethod.DynamicInvoke(new object[] { /*Array of arguments to pass*/ });
}

static void Main()
{
    CallAnyMethod(MyMethod);
}

Three different solutions, the same underlying concept:

The type–unsafe way
Using the Delegate special class directly the same way as the example above. The drawback here is your code being type–unsafe, allowing arguments to be passed dynamically, with no constraints.

The custom way
Besides the Delegate special class, the concept of delegates spreads to custom delegates, which are declarations of methods preceded by the delegate keyword. They are type–checked the same as method declarations, leading to flawlessly safe code.

Here's an example:

delegate void PrintDelegate(string prompt);

static void PrintSomewhere(PrintDelegate print, string prompt)
{
    print(prompt);
}

static void PrintOnConsole(string prompt)
{
    Console.WriteLine(prompt);
}

static void PrintOnScreen(string prompt)
{
    MessageBox.Show(prompt);
}

static void Main()
{
    PrintSomewhere(PrintOnConsole, "Press a key to get a message");
    Console.Read();
    PrintSomewhere(PrintOnScreen, "Hello world");
}

The standard library's way
Alternatively, you can use a delegate that's part of the .NET Standard:
- Action wraps up a parameterless void method.
- Action<T1> wraps up a void method with one parameter of type T1.
- Action<T1, T2> wraps up a void method with two parameters of types T1 and T2, respectively.
- And so forth...
- Func<TR> wraps up a parameterless function with TR return type.
- Func<T1, TR> wraps up a function with TR return type and with one parameter of type T1.
- Func<T1, T2, TR> wraps up a function with TR return type and with two parameters of types T1 and T2, respectively.
- And so forth...
However, bear in mind that using predefined delegates like these, parameter names won't describe what they have to be passed in, nor is the delegate name meaningful on what it's supposed to do. Therefore, be cautious about when to use these delegates and refrain from using them in contexts where their purpose is not absolutely self–evident.

^{The latter solution is the one most people posted. I'm still mentioning it in my answer for the sake of completeness.}

Define a global variable in a JavaScript function

To use the window object is not a good idea. As I see in comments,

'use strict';

function showMessage() {
    window.say_hello = 'hello!';
}

console.log(say_hello);

This will throw an error to use the say_hello variable we need to first call the showMessage function.

My kubernetes pods keep crashing with "CrashLoopBackOff" but I can't find any log

My pod kept crashing and I was unable to find the cause. Luckily there is a space where kubernetes saves all the events that occurred before my pod crashed.
(#List Events sorted by timestamp)

To see these events run the command:

kubectl get events --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp

make sure to add a --namespace mynamespace argument to the command if needed

The events shown in the output of the command showed my why my pod kept crashing.

git-diff to ignore ^M

TL;DR

Change the core.pager to "tr -d '\r' | less -REX", not the source code

This is why

Those pesky ^M shown are an artifact of the colorization and the pager. It is caused by less -R, a default git pager option. (git's default pager is less -REX)

The first thing to note is that git diff -b will not show changes in white space (e.g. the \r\n vs \n)

setup:

git clone https://github.com/CipherShed/CipherShed
cd CipherShed

A quick test to create a unix file and change the line endings will show no changes with git diff -b:

echo -e 'The quick brown fox\njumped over the lazy\ndogs.' > test.txt
git add test.txt
unix2dos.exe test.txt
git diff -b test.txt

We note that forcing a pipe to less does not show the ^M, but enabling color and less -R does:

git diff origin/v0.7.4.0 origin/v0.7.4.1 | less
git -c color.ui=always diff origin/v0.7.4.0 origin/v0.7.4.1 | less -R

The fix is shown by using a pipe to strip the \r (^M) from the output:

git diff origin/v0.7.4.0 origin/v0.7.4.1
git -c core.pager="tr -d '\r' | less -REX"  diff origin/v0.7.4.0 origin/v0.7.4.1

An unwise alternative is to use less -r, because it will pass through all control codes, not just the color codes.

If you want to just edit your git config file directly, this is the entry to update/add:

[core]
        pager = tr -d '\\r' | less -REX

Password encryption/decryption code in .NET

Do not encrypt/decrypt passwords, that is a significant security vulnerability. HASH passwords, using a strong hash algorithm such as PBKDF2, bcrypt, scrypts, or Argon.

When the user sets their password, hash it, and store the hash (and salt).

When the user logs in, re-hash their provided password, and compare it to the hash in the database.

Returning Month Name in SQL Server Query

basically this ...

declare @currentdate datetime = getdate()
select left(datename(month,DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())),3)
union all
select left(datename(month,(DATEADD(MONTH, -2, GETDATE()))),3)
union all
select left(datename(month,(DATEADD(MONTH, -3, GETDATE()))),3)

Get Android API level of phone currently running my application

Check android.os.Build.VERSION, which is a static class that holds various pieces of information about the Android OS a system is running.

If you care about all versions possible (back to original Android version), as in minSdkVersion is set to anything less than 4, then you will have to use android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK, which is a String that can be converted to the integer of the release.

If you are on at least API version 4 (Android 1.6 Donut), the current suggested way of getting the API level would be to check the value of android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT, which is an integer.

In either case, the integer you get maps to an enum value from all those defined in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES:

SDK_INT value        Build.VERSION_CODES        Human Version Name

Simple linked list in C++

You should take reference of a head pointer. Otherwise the pointer modification is not visible outside of the function.

void addNode(struct Node *&head, int n){
    struct Node *NewNode = new Node;
 NewNode-> x = n;
 NewNode -> next = head;
 head = NewNode;
}

Is there a performance difference between i++ and ++i in C?

First of all: The difference between i++ and ++i is neglegible in C.

To the details.

1. The well known C++ issue: `++i` is faster

In C++, ++i is more efficient iff i is some kind of an object with an overloaded increment operator.

Why?
In ++i, the object is first incremented, and can subsequently passed as a const reference to any other function. This is not possible if the expression is foo(i++) because now the increment needs to be done before foo() is called, but the old value needs to be passed to foo(). Consequently, the compiler is forced to make a copy of i before it executes the increment operator on the original. The additional constructor/destructor calls are the bad part.

As noted above, this does not apply to fundamental types.

2. The little known fact: `i++` may be faster

If no constructor/destructor needs to be called, which is always the case in C, ++i and i++ should be equally fast, right? No. They are virtually equally fast, but there may be small differences, which most other answerers got the wrong way around.

How can i++ be faster?
The point is data dependencies. If the value needs to be loaded from memory, two subsequent operations need to be done with it, incrementing it, and using it. With ++i, the incrementation needs to be done before the value can be used. With i++, the use does not depend on the increment, and the CPU may perform the use operation in parallel to the increment operation. The difference is at most one CPU cycle, so it is really neglegible, but it is there. And it is the other way round then many would expect.

How to download a file with Node.js (without using third-party libraries)?

Writing my own solution since the existing didn't fit my requirements.

What this covers:

HTTPS download (switch package to http for HTTP downloads)
Promise based function
Handle forwarded path (status 302)
Browser header - required on a few CDNs
Filename from URL (as well as hardcoded)
Error handling

It's typed, it's safer. Feel free to drop the types if you're working with plain JS (no Flow, no TS) or convert to a .d.ts file

index.js

import httpsDownload from httpsDownload;
httpsDownload('https://example.com/file.zip', './');

json.dumps vs flask.jsonify

The choice of one or another depends on what you intend to do. From what I do understand:

jsonify would be useful when you are building an API someone would query and expect json in return. E.g: The REST github API could use this method to answer your request.
dumps, is more about formating data/python object into json and work on it inside your application. For instance, I need to pass an object to my representation layer where some javascript will display graph. You'll feed javascript with the Json generated by dumps.

How to set the font size in Emacs?

How to split a string content into an array of strings in PowerShell?

As of PowerShell 2, simple:

$recipients = $addresses -split "; "

Note that the right hand side is actually a case-insensitive regular expression, not a simple match. Use csplit to force case-sensitivity. See about_Split for more details.

Difference between malloc and calloc?

Number of blocks:
malloc() assigns single block of requested memory,
calloc() assigns multiple blocks of the requested memory

Initialization:
malloc() - doesn't clear and initialize the allocated memory.
calloc() - initializes the allocated memory by zero.

Speed:
malloc() is fast.
calloc() is slower than malloc().

Arguments & Syntax:
malloc() takes 1 argument:

bytes
- The number of bytes to be allocated

calloc() takes 2 arguments:

length
- the number of blocks of memory to be allocated
bytes
- the number of bytes to be allocated at each block of memory

void *malloc(size_t bytes);         
void *calloc(size_t length, size_t bytes);

Manner of memory Allocation:
The malloc function assigns memory of the desired 'size' from the available heap.
The calloc function assigns memory that is the size of what’s equal to ‘num *size’.

Meaning on name:
The name malloc means "memory allocation".
The name calloc means "contiguous allocation".

Remove portion of a string after a certain character

preg_replace offers one way:

$newText = preg_replace('/\bBy.*$/', '', $text);

IE9 jQuery AJAX with CORS returns "Access is denied"

Building on the solution by MoonScript, you could try this instead:

https://github.com/intuit/xhr-xdr-adapter/blob/master/src/xhr-xdr-adapter.js

The benefit is that since it's a lower level solution, it will enable CORS (to the extent possible) on IE 8/9 with other frameworks, not just with jQuery. I've had success using it with AngularJS, as well as jQuery 1.x and 2.x.

Datanode process not running in Hadoop

I ran into the same issue. I have created a hdfs folder '/home/username/hdfs' with sub-directories name, data, and tmp which were referenced in config xml files of hadoop/conf.

When I started hadoop and did jps, I couldn't find datanode so I tried to manually start datanode using bin/hadoop datanode. Then I realized from error message that it has permissions issue accessing the dfs.data.dir=/home/username/hdfs/data/ which was referenced in one of the hadoop config files. All I had to do was stop hadoop, delete the contents of /home/username/hdfs/tmp/* directory and then try this command - chmod -R 755 /home/username/hdfs/ and then start hadoop. I could find the datanode!

How do I force Robocopy to overwrite files?

This is really weird, why nobody is mentioning the /IM switch ?! I've been using it for a long time in backup jobs. But I tried googling just now and I couldn't land on a single web page that says anything about it even on MS website !!! Also found so many user posts complaining about the same issue!!

Anyway.. to use Robocopy to overwrite EVERYTHING what ever size or time in source or distination you must include these three switches in your command (/IS /IT /IM)

/IS :: Include Same files. (Includes same size files)
/IT :: Include Tweaked files. (Includes same files with different Attributes)
/IM :: Include Modified files (Includes same files with different times).

This is the exact command I use to transfer few TeraBytes of mostly 1GB+ files (ISOs - Disk Images - 4K Videos):

robocopy B:\Source D:\Destination /E /J /COPYALL /MT:1 /DCOPY:DATE /IS /IT /IM /X /V /NP /LOG:A:\ROBOCOPY.LOG

I did a small test for you .. and here is the result:

               Total    Copied   Skipped  Mismatch    FAILED    Extras
    Dirs :      1028      1028         0         0         0       169

Dest, Disk: WD Gold 6TB (Compare the write speed with my result)

Even with those "Extras", that's for reporting only because of the "/X" switch. As you can see nothing was Skipped and Total number and size of all files are equal to the Copied. Sometimes It will show small number of skipped files when I abuse it and cancel it multiple times during operation but even with that the values in the first 2 columns are always Equal. I also confirmed that once before by running a PowerShell script that scans all files in destination and generate a report of all time-stamps.

Some performance tips from my history with it and so many tests & troubles!:

. Despite of what most users online advise to use maximum threads "/MT:128" like it's a general trick to get the best performance ... PLEASE DON'T USE "/MT:128" WITH VERY LARGE FILES ... that's a big mistake and it will decrease your drive performance dramatically after several runs .. it will create very high fragmentation or even cause the files system to fail in some cases and you end up spending valuable time trying to recover a RAW partition and all that nonsense. And above all that, It will perform 4-6 times slower!!

For very large files:

Use Only "One" thread "/MT:1" | Impact: BIG
Must use "/J" to disable buffering. | Impact: High
Use "/NP" with "/LOG:file" and Don't output to the console by "/TEE" | Impact: Medium.
Put the "/LOG:file" on a separate drive from the source or destination | Impact: Low.

For regular big files:

Use multi threads, I would not exceed "/MT:4" | Impact: BIG
IF destination disk has low Cache specs use "/J" to disable buffering | Impact: High
& 4 same as above.

For thousands of tiny files:

Go nuts :) with Multi threads, at first I would start with 16 and multibly by 2 while monitoring the disk performance. Once it starts dropping I'll fall back to the prevouse value and stik with it | Impact: BIG
Don't use "/J" | Impact: High
Use "/NP" with "/LOG:file" and Don't output to the console by "/TEE" | Impact: HIGH.
Put the "/LOG:file" on a separate drive from the source or destination | Impact: HIGH.

Using JavaScript to display a Blob

In your example, you should createElement('img').

In your link, base64blob != Base64.encode(blob).

This works, as long as your data is valid http://jsfiddle.net/SXFwP/ (I didn't have any BMP images so I had to use PNG).

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

Out of the box

In case you want an object with the directory structure out-of-the-box I highly reccomend you to check directory-tree.

Lets say you have this structure:

photos
¦   june
¦   +-- windsurf.jpg
+-- january
    +-- ski.png
    +-- snowboard.jpg

const dirTree = require("directory-tree");
const tree = dirTree("/path/to/photos");

Will return:

{
  path: "photos",
  name: "photos",
  size: 600,
  type: "directory",
  children: [
    {
      path: "photos/june",
      name: "june",
      size: 400,
      type: "directory",
      children: [
        {
          path: "photos/june/windsurf.jpg",
          name: "windsurf.jpg",
          size: 400,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".jpg"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      path: "photos/january",
      name: "january",
      size: 200,
      type: "directory",
      children: [
        {
          path: "photos/january/ski.png",
          name: "ski.png",
          size: 100,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".png"
        },
        {
          path: "photos/january/snowboard.jpg",
          name: "snowboard.jpg",
          size: 100,
          type: "file",
          extension: ".jpg"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Custom Object

Otherwise if you want to create an directory tree object with your custom settings have a look at the following snippet. A live example is visible on this codesandbox.

// my-script.js
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");

const isDirectory = filePath => fs.statSync(filePath).isDirectory();
const isFile = filePath => fs.statSync(filePath).isFile();

const getDirectoryDetails = filePath => {
  const dirs = fs.readdirSync(filePath);
  return {
    dirs: dirs.filter(name => isDirectory(path.join(filePath, name))),
    files: dirs.filter(name => isFile(path.join(filePath, name)))
  };
};

const getFilesRecursively = (parentPath, currentFolder) => {
  const currentFolderPath = path.join(parentPath, currentFolder);
  let currentDirectoryDetails = getDirectoryDetails(currentFolderPath);

  const final = {
    current_dir: currentFolder,
    dirs: currentDirectoryDetails.dirs.map(dir =>
      getFilesRecursively(currentFolderPath, dir)
    ),
    files: currentDirectoryDetails.files
  };

  return final;
};

const getAllFiles = relativePath => {
  const fullPath = path.join(__dirname, relativePath);
  const parentDirectoryPath = path.dirname(fullPath);
  const leafDirectory = path.basename(fullPath);

  const allFiles = getFilesRecursively(parentDirectoryPath, leafDirectory);
  return allFiles;
};

module.exports = { getAllFiles };

Then you can simply do:

// another-file.js 

const { getAllFiles } = require("path/to/my-script");

const allFiles = getAllFiles("/path/to/my-directory");

Convert command line arguments into an array in Bash

Here is another usage :

#!/bin/bash
array=( "$@" )
arraylength=${#array[@]}
for (( i=0; i<${arraylength}; i++ ));
do
   echo "${array[$i]}"
done

Python ImportError: No module named wx

Generally, package names in the site-packages folder are intended to be imported using the exact name of the module or subfolder.

If my site-packages folder has a subfolder named "foobar", I would import that package by typing import foobar.

One solution might be to rename site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode to site-packages\wx.

Or you could add C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode to your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Stuck while installing Visual Studio 2015 (Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2999226))

Today i also face this type of problem during visual studio 2015 Community installation. As i have 64bit OS. I used https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49093 link to update KB2999226 mannualy.

Try It. Good luck.

Delete files older than 15 days using PowerShell

Basically, you iterate over files under the given path, subtract the CreationTime of each file found from the current time, and compare against the Days property of the result. The -WhatIf switch will tell you what will happen without actually deleting the files (which files will be deleted), remove the switch to actually delete the files:

$old = 15
$now = Get-Date

Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse |
Where-Object {-not $_.PSIsContainer -and $now.Subtract($_.CreationTime).Days -gt $old } |
Remove-Item -WhatIf

How do I iterate and modify Java Sets?

You can safely remove from a set during iteration with an Iterator object; attempting to modify a set through its API while iterating will break the iterator. the Set class provides an iterator through getIterator().

however, Integer objects are immutable; my strategy would be to iterate through the set and for each Integer i, add i+1 to some new temporary set. When you are finished iterating, remove all the elements from the original set and add all the elements of the new temporary set.

Set<Integer> s; //contains your Integers
...
Set<Integer> temp = new Set<Integer>();
for(Integer i : s)
    temp.add(i+1);
s.clear();
s.addAll(temp);

Bootstrap modal not displaying

How to append strings using sprintf?

What about:

char s[100] = "";

sprintf(s, "%s%s", s, "s1");

sprintf(s, "%s%s", s, "s2");

sprintf(s, "%s%s", s, "s3");

printf("%s", s);

But take into account possible buffer ovewflows!

What are all the user accounts for IIS/ASP.NET and how do they differ?

This is a very good question and sadly many developers don't ask enough questions about IIS/ASP.NET security in the context of being a web developer and setting up IIS. So here goes....

To cover the identities listed:

IIS_IUSRS:

This is analogous to the old IIS6 IIS_WPG group. It's a built-in group with it's security configured such that any member of this group can act as an application pool identity.

IUSR:

This account is analogous to the old IUSR_<MACHINE_NAME> local account that was the default anonymous user for IIS5 and IIS6 websites (i.e. the one configured via the Directory Security tab of a site's properties).

For more information about IIS_IUSRS and IUSR see:

Understanding Built-In User and Group Accounts in IIS 7

DefaultAppPool:

If an application pool is configured to run using the Application Pool Identity feature then a "synthesised" account called IIS AppPool\<pool name> will be created on the fly to used as the pool identity. In this case there will be a synthesised account called IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool created for the life time of the pool. If you delete the pool then this account will no longer exist. When applying permissions to files and folders these must be added using IIS AppPool\<pool name>. You also won't see these pool accounts in your computers User Manager. See the following for more information:

Application Pool Identities

ASP.NET v4.0: -

This will be the Application Pool Identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 Application Pool. See DefaultAppPool above.

NETWORK SERVICE: -

The NETWORK SERVICE account is a built-in identity introduced on Windows 2003. NETWORK SERVICE is a low privileged account under which you can run your application pools and websites. A website running in a Windows 2003 pool can still impersonate the site's anonymous account (IUSR_ or whatever you configured as the anonymous identity).

In ASP.NET prior to Windows 2008 you could have ASP.NET execute requests under the Application Pool account (usually NETWORK SERVICE). Alternatively you could configure ASP.NET to impersonate the site's anonymous account via the <identity impersonate="true" /> setting in web.config file locally (if that setting is locked then it would need to be done by an admin in the machine.config file).

Setting <identity impersonate="true"> is common in shared hosting environments where shared application pools are used (in conjunction with partial trust settings to prevent unwinding of the impersonated account).

In IIS7.x/ASP.NET impersonation control is now configured via the Authentication configuration feature of a site. So you can configure to run as the pool identity, IUSR or a specific custom anonymous account.

LOCAL SERVICE:

The LOCAL SERVICE account is a built-in account used by the service control manager. It has a minimum set of privileges on the local computer. It has a fairly limited scope of use:

LocalService Account

LOCAL SYSTEM:

You didn't ask about this one but I'm adding for completeness. This is a local built-in account. It has fairly extensive privileges and trust. You should never configure a website or application pool to run under this identity.

LocalSystem Account

In Practice:

In practice the preferred approach to securing a website (if the site gets its own application pool - which is the default for a new site in IIS7's MMC) is to run under Application Pool Identity. This means setting the site's Identity in its Application Pool's Advanced Settings to Application Pool Identity:

enter image description here

In the website you should then configure the Authentication feature:

enter image description here

Right click and edit the Anonymous Authentication entry:

enter image description here

Ensure that "Application pool identity" is selected:

enter image description here

When you come to apply file and folder permissions you grant the Application Pool identity whatever rights are required. For example if you are granting the application pool identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 pool permissions then you can either do this via Explorer:

enter image description here

Click the "Check Names" button:

enter image description here

Or you can do this using the ICACLS.EXE utility:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\ASP.NET v4.0":(CI)(OI)(M)

...or...if you site's application pool is called BobsCatPicBlogthen:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\BobsCatPicBlog":(CI)(OI)(M)

I hope this helps clear things up.

Update:

I just bumped into this excellent answer from 2009 which contains a bunch of useful information, well worth a read:

The difference between the 'Local System' account and the 'Network Service' account?

Best Timer for using in a Windows service

Don't use a service for this. Create a normal application and create a scheduled task to run it.

This is the commonly held best practice. Jon Galloway agrees with me. Or maybe its the other way around. Either way, the fact is that it is not best practices to create a windows service to perform an intermittent task run off a timer.

"If you're writing a Windows Service that runs a timer, you should re-evaluate your solution."

How to override maven property in command line?

See Introduction to the POM

finalName is created as:

<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>

One of the solutions is to add own property:

<properties>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</properties>
<build>
    <finalName>${finalName}</finalName>
 </build>

And now try:

mvn -DfinalName=build clean package
