Programs & Examples On #Consumer

Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component

If you are fetching data from axios and the error still occurs, just wrap the setter inside the condition

let isRendered = useRef(false);
useEffect(() => {
    isRendered = true;
    axios
        .get("/sample/api")
        .then(res => {
            if (isRendered) {
                setState(res.data);
            }
            return null;
        })
        .catch(err => console.log(err));
    return () => {
        isRendered = false;
    };
}, []);

Android Gradle 5.0 Update:Cause: org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.tooling.util

For others who have the same problem in IntelliJ:

upgrading to the latest IDE version should resolve the issue.

Java 8 optional: ifPresent return object orElseThrow exception

Two options here:

Replace ifPresent with map and use Function instead of Consumer

private String getStringIfObjectIsPresent(Optional<Object> object) {
    return object
            .map(obj -> {
                String result = "result";
                //some logic with result and return it
                return result;
            })
            .orElseThrow(MyCustomException::new);
}

Use isPresent:

private String getStringIfObjectIsPresent(Optional<Object> object) {
    if (object.isPresent()) {
        String result = "result";
        //some logic with result and return it
        return result;
    } else {
        throw new MyCustomException();
    }
}

Kafka consumer list

I realize that this question is nearly 4 years old now. Much has changed in Kafka since then. This is mentioned above, but only in small print, so I write this for users who stumble over this question as late as I did.

  1. Offsets by default are now stored in a Kafka Topic (not in Zookeeper any more), see Offsets stored in Zookeeper or Kafka?
  2. There's a kafka-consumer-groups utility which returns all the information, including the offset of the topic and partition, of the consumer, and even the lag (Remark: When you ask for the topic's offset, I assume that you mean the offsets of the partitions of the topic). In my Kafka 2.0 test cluster:
kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server kafka:9092 --describe
    --group console-consumer-69763 Consumer group 'console-consumer-69763' has no active members.

TOPIC           PARTITION  CURRENT-OFFSET  LOG-END-OFFSET  LAG             CONSUMER-ID     HOST            CLIENT-ID

Python IndentationError unindent does not match any outer indentation level

I recently ran into the same problem but the issue wasn't related to tabs and spaces but an odd Unicode character that appeared invisible to the eye in my IDE. Eventually, I isolated the problem and typed out the line exactly as it was and checked the git diff:

enter image description here

If you are able to isolate the line before the reported line and type it out again, you might find that it solves your problem. Won't tell you why it happened in the first place, but it at least gets rid of the issue.

How to extract hours and minutes from a datetime.datetime object?

Don't know how you want to format it, but you can do:

print("Created at %s:%s" % (t1.hour, t1.minute))

for example.

Error: org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8' not supported

For me it turned out that I had a @JsonManagedReferece in one entity without a @JsonBackReference in the other referenced entity. This caused the marshaller to throw an error.

Proper usage of Optional.ifPresent()

Optional<User>.ifPresent() takes a Consumer<? super User> as argument. You're passing it an expression whose type is void. So that doesn't compile.

A Consumer is intended to be implemented as a lambda expression:

Optional<User> user = ...
user.ifPresent(theUser -> doSomethingWithUser(theUser));

Or even simpler, using a method reference:

Optional<User> user = ...
user.ifPresent(this::doSomethingWithUser);

This is basically the same thing as

Optional<User> user = ...
user.ifPresent(new Consumer<User>() {
    @Override
    public void accept(User theUser) {
        doSomethingWithUser(theUser);
    }
});

The idea is that the doSomethingWithUser() method call will only be executed if the user is present. Your code executes the method call directly, and tries to pass its void result to ifPresent().

How can I send large messages with Kafka (over 15MB)?

The answer from @laughing_man is quite accurate. But still, I wanted to give a recommendation which I learned from Kafka expert Stephane Maarek.

Kafka isn’t meant to handle large messages.

Your API should use cloud storage (Ex AWS S3), and just push to Kafka or any message broker a reference of S3. You must find somewhere to persist your data, maybe it’s a network drive, maybe it’s whatever, but it shouldn't be message broker.

Now, if you don’t want to go with the above solution

The message max size is 1MB (the setting in your brokers is called message.max.bytes) Apache Kafka. If you really needed it badly, you could increase that size and make sure to increase the network buffers for your producers and consumers.

And if you really care about splitting your message, make sure each message split has the exact same key so that it gets pushed to the same partition, and your message content should report a “part id” so that your consumer can fully reconstruct the message.

You can also explore compression, if your message is text-based (gzip, snappy, lz4 compression) which may reduce the data size, but not magically.

Again, you have to use an external system to store that data and just push an external reference to Kafka. That is a very common architecture and one you should go with and widely accepted.

Keep that in mind Kafka works best only if the messages are huge in amount but not in size.

Caused By: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger

Had the same problem, it was indeed caused by weblogic stupidly using its own opensaml implementation. To solve it, you have to tell it to load classes from WEB-INF/lib for this package in weblogic.xml:

    <prefer-application-packages>
        <package-name>org.opensaml.*</package-name>
    </prefer-application-packages>

maybe <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes> would work too.

(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main' and undefined reference to function

This rule

main: producer.o consumer.o AddRemove.o
   $(COMPILER) -pthread $(CCFLAGS) -o producer.o consumer.o AddRemove.o

is wrong. It says to create a file named producer.o (with -o producer.o), but you want to create a file named main. Please excuse the shouting, but ALWAYS USE $@ TO REFERENCE THE TARGET:

main: producer.o consumer.o AddRemove.o
   $(COMPILER) -pthread $(CCFLAGS) -o $@ producer.o consumer.o AddRemove.o

As Shahbaz rightly points out, the gmake professionals would also use $^ which expands to all the prerequisites in the rule. In general, if you find yourself repeating a string or name, you're doing it wrong and should use a variable, whether one of the built-ins or one you create.

main: producer.o consumer.o AddRemove.o
   $(COMPILER) -pthread $(CCFLAGS) -o $@ $^

what is Segmentation fault (core dumped)?

"Segmentation fault" means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.

The first problem is with your arguments of main. The main function should be int main(int argc, char *argv[]), and you should check that argc is at least 2 before accessing argv[1].

Also, since you're passing in a float to printf (which, by the way, gets converted to a double when passing to printf), you should use the %f format specifier. The %s format specifier is for strings ('\0'-terminated character arrays).

Ways to iterate over a list in Java

You could always switch out the first and third examples with a while loop and a little more code. This gives you the advantage of being able to use the do-while:

int i = 0;
do{
 E element = list.get(i);
 i++;
}
while (i < list.size());

Of course, this kind of thing might cause a NullPointerException if the list.size() returns 0, becuase it always gets executed at least once. This can be fixed by testing if element is null before using its attributes / methods tho. Still, it's a lot simpler and easier to use the for loop

Is there a way to delete all the data from a topic or delete the topic before every run?

  1. Stop ZooKeeper and Kafka
  2. In server.properties, change log.retention.hours value. You can comment log.retention.hours and add log.retention.ms=1000. It would keep the record on Kafka Topic for only one second.
  3. Start zookeeper and kafka.
  4. Check on consumer console. When I opened the console for the first time, record was there. But when I opened the console again, the record was removed.
  5. Later on, you can set the value of log.retention.hours to your desired figure.

jquery AJAX and json format

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: hb_base_url + "consumer",
   contentType: "application/json",
   dataType: "json",
   data: {
       data__value = JSON.stringify(
       {

           last_name: $("#surnamec").val(),
           email: $("#emailc").val(),
           mobile: $("#numberc").val(),
           password: $("#passwordc").val()
       })
   },
   success: function(response) {
       console.log(response);
   },
   error: function(response) {
       console.log(response);
   }
});

(RU) ?? ??????? ???? ?????? ????? ???????? ??? - $_POST['data__value']; ???????? ??? ????????? ???????? first_name ?? ???????, ????? ????????:

(EN) On the server, you can get your data as - $_POST ['data__value']; For example, to get the first_name value on the server, write:

$test = json_decode( $_POST['data__value'] );
echo $test->first_name;

Compare two DataFrames and output their differences side-by-side

A different approach using concat and drop_duplicates:

import sys
if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
    from StringIO import StringIO
else:
    from io import StringIO
import pandas as pd

DF1 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment
111  Jack   2.17                     True                 "He was late to class"
112  Nick   1.11                     False                "Graduated"
113  Zoe    NaN                     True                  " "
""")
DF2 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment

113  Zoe    NaN                     False                "On vacation" """)

df1 = pd.read_table(DF1, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
df2 = pd.read_table(DF2, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
#%%
dictionary = {1:df1,2:df2}
df=pd.concat(dictionary)
df.drop_duplicates(keep=False)

Output:

JSON, REST, SOAP, WSDL, and SOA: How do they all link together

Imagine you are developing a web-application and you decide to decouple the functionality from the presentation of the application, because it affords greater freedom.

You create an API and let others implement their own front-ends over it as well. What you just did here is implement an SOA methodology, i.e. using web-services.

Web services make functional building-blocks accessible over standard Internet protocols independent of platforms and programming languages.

So, you design an interchange mechanism between the back-end (web-service) that does the processing and generation of something useful, and the front-end (which consumes the data), which could be anything. (A web, mobile, or desktop application, or another web-service). The only limitation here is that the front-end and back-end must "speak" the same "language".


That's where SOAP and REST come in. They are standard ways you'd pick communicate with the web-service.

SOAP:

SOAP internally uses XML to send data back and forth. SOAP messages have rigid structure and the response XML then needs to be parsed. WSDL is a specification of what requests can be made, with which parameters, and what they will return. It is a complete specification of your API.

REST:

REST is a design concept.

The World Wide Web represents the largest implementation of a system conforming to the REST architectural style.

It isn't as rigid as SOAP. RESTful web-services use standard URIs and methods to make calls to the webservice. When you request a URI, it returns the representation of an object, that you can then perform operations upon (e.g. GET, PUT, POST, DELETE). You are not limited to picking XML to represent data, you could pick anything really (JSON included)

Flickr's REST API goes further and lets you return images as well.


JSON and XML, are functionally equivalent, and common choices. There are also RPC-based frameworks like GRPC based on Protobufs, and Apache Thrift that can be used for communication between the API producers and consumers. The most common format used by web APIs is JSON because of it is easy to use and parse in every language.

"Large data" workflows using pandas

As noted by others, after some years an 'out-of-core' pandas equivalent has emerged: dask. Though dask is not a drop-in replacement of pandas and all of its functionality it stands out for several reasons:

Dask is a flexible parallel computing library for analytic computing that is optimized for dynamic task scheduling for interactive computational workloads of “Big Data” collections like parallel arrays, dataframes, and lists that extend common interfaces like NumPy, Pandas, or Python iterators to larger-than-memory or distributed environments and scales from laptops to clusters.

Dask emphasizes the following virtues:

  • Familiar: Provides parallelized NumPy array and Pandas DataFrame objects
  • Flexible: Provides a task scheduling interface for more custom workloads and integration with other projects.
  • Native: Enables distributed computing in Pure Python with access to the PyData stack.
  • Fast: Operates with low overhead, low latency, and minimal serialization necessary for fast numerical algorithms
  • Scales up: Runs resiliently on clusters with 1000s of cores Scales down: Trivial to set up and run on a laptop in a single process
  • Responsive: Designed with interactive computing in mind it provides rapid feedback and diagnostics to aid humans

and to add a simple code sample:

import dask.dataframe as dd
df = dd.read_csv('2015-*-*.csv')
df.groupby(df.user_id).value.mean().compute()

replaces some pandas code like this:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('2015-01-01.csv')
df.groupby(df.user_id).value.mean()

and, especially noteworthy, provides through the concurrent.futures interface a general infrastructure for the submission of custom tasks:

from dask.distributed import Client
client = Client('scheduler:port')

futures = []
for fn in filenames:
    future = client.submit(load, fn)
    futures.append(future)

summary = client.submit(summarize, futures)
summary.result()

API pagination best practices

I think currently your api's actually responding the way it should. The first 100 records on the page in the overall order of objects you are maintaining. Your explanation tells that you are using some kind of ordering ids to define the order of your objects for pagination.

Now, in case you want that page 2 should always start from 101 and end at 200, then you must make the number of entries on the page as variable, since they are subject to deletion.

You should do something like the below pseudocode:

page_max = 100
def get_page_results(page_no) :

    start = (page_no - 1) * page_max + 1
    end = page_no * page_max

    return fetch_results_by_id_between(start, end)

Pagination response payload from a RESTful API

As someone who has written several libraries for consuming REST services, let me give you the client perspective on why I think wrapping the result in metadata is the way to go:

  • Without the total count, how can the client know that it has not yet received everything there is and should continue paging through the result set? In a UI that didn't perform look ahead to the next page, in the worst case this might be represented as a Next/More link that didn't actually fetch any more data.
  • Including metadata in the response allows the client to track less state. Now I don't have to match up my REST request with the response, as the response contains the metadata necessary to reconstruct the request state (in this case the cursor into the dataset).
  • If the state is part of the response, I can perform multiple requests into the same dataset simultaneously, and I can handle the requests in any order they happen to arrive in which is not necessarily the order I made the requests in.

And a suggestion: Like the Twitter API, you should replace the page_number with a straight index/cursor. The reason is, the API allows the client to set the page size per-request. Is the returned page_number the number of pages the client has requested so far, or the number of the page given the last used page_size (almost certainly the later, but why not avoid such ambiguity altogether)?

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Header

You can still use the Authorization header with OAuth 2.0. There is a Bearer type specified in the Authorization header for use with OAuth bearer tokens (meaning the client app simply has to present ("bear") the token). The value of the header is the access token the client received from the Authorization Server.

It's documented in this spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-2.1

E.g.:

   GET /resource HTTP/1.1
   Host: server.example.com
   Authorization: Bearer mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM

Where mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM is your OAuth access token.

Compare and contrast REST and SOAP web services?

SOAP brings it’s own protocol and focuses on exposing pieces of application logic (not data) as services. SOAP exposes operations. SOAP is focused on accessing named operations, each implement some business logic through different interfaces.

Though SOAP is commonly referred to as “web services” this is a misnomer. SOAP has very little if anything to do with the Web. REST provides true “Web services” based on URIs and HTTP.

By way of illustration here are few calls and their appropriate home with commentary.

getUser(User);

This is a rest operation as you are accessing a resource (data).

switchCategory(User, OldCategory, NewCategory)

REST permits many different data formats where as SOAP only permits XML. While this may seem like it adds complexity to REST because you need to handle multiple formats, in my experience it has actually been quite beneficial. JSON usually is a better fit for data and parses much faster. REST allows better support for browser clients due to it’s support for JSON.

RabbitMQ / AMQP: single queue, multiple consumers for same message?

Fan out was clearly what you wanted. fanout

read rabbitMQ tutorial: https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-three-javascript.html

here's my example:

Publisher.js:

amqp.connect('amqp://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>', async (error0, connection) => {
    if (error0) {
      throw error0;
    }
    console.log('RabbitMQ connected')
    try {
      // Create exchange for queues
      channel = await connection.createChannel()
      await channel.assertExchange(process.env.EXCHANGE_NAME, 'fanout', { durable: false });
      await channel.publish(process.env.EXCHANGE_NAME, '', Buffer.from('msg'))
    } catch(error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
})

Subscriber.js:

amqp.connect('amqp://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>', async (error0, connection) => {
    if (error0) {
      throw error0;
    }
    console.log('RabbitMQ connected')
    try {
      // Create/Bind a consumer queue for an exchange broker
      channel = await connection.createChannel()
      await channel.assertExchange(process.env.EXCHANGE_NAME, 'fanout', { durable: false });
      const queue = await channel.assertQueue('', {exclusive: true})
      channel.bindQueue(queue.queue, process.env.EXCHANGE_NAME, '')

      console.log(" [*] Waiting for messages in %s. To exit press CTRL+C");
      channel.consume('', consumeMessage, {noAck: true});
    } catch(error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
});

here is an example i found in the internet. maybe can also help. https://www.codota.com/code/javascript/functions/amqplib/Channel/assertExchange

Celery Received unregistered task of type (run example)

If you use autodiscover_tasks, make sure that your functions to be registered stay in the tasks.py, not any other file. Or celery can not find the functions you want to register.

Use app.register_task will also do the job, but seems a little naive.

Please refer to this official specification of autodiscover_tasks.

def autodiscover_tasks(self, packages=None, related_name='tasks', force=False):
    """Auto-discover task modules.

    Searches a list of packages for a "tasks.py" module (or use
    related_name argument).

    If the name is empty, this will be delegated to fix-ups (e.g., Django).

    For example if you have a directory layout like this:

    .. code-block:: text

        foo/__init__.py
           tasks.py
           models.py

        bar/__init__.py
            tasks.py
            models.py

        baz/__init__.py
            models.py

    Then calling ``app.autodiscover_tasks(['foo', bar', 'baz'])`` will
    result in the modules ``foo.tasks`` and ``bar.tasks`` being imported.

    Arguments:
        packages (List[str]): List of packages to search.
            This argument may also be a callable, in which case the
            value returned is used (for lazy evaluation).
        related_name (str): The name of the module to find.  Defaults
            to "tasks": meaning "look for 'module.tasks' for every
            module in ``packages``."
        force (bool): By default this call is lazy so that the actual
            auto-discovery won't happen until an application imports
            the default modules.  Forcing will cause the auto-discovery
            to happen immediately.

Node.js setting up environment specific configs to be used with everyauth

How about doing this in a much more elegant way with nodejs-config module.

This module is able to set configuration environment based on your computer's name. After that when you request a configuration you will get environment specific value.

For example lets assume your have two development machines named pc1 and pc2 and a production machine named pc3. When ever you request configuration values in your code in pc1 or pc2 you must get "development" environment configuration and in pc3 you must get "production" environment configuration. This can be achieved like this:

  1. Create a base configuration file in the config directory, lets say "app.json" and add required configurations to it.
  2. Now simply create folders within the config directory that matches your environment name, in this case "development" and "production".
  3. Next, create the configuration files you wish to override and specify the options for each environment at the environment directories(Notice that you do not have to specify every option that is in the base configuration file, but only the options you wish to override. The environment configuration files will "cascade" over the base files.).

Now create new config instance with following syntax.

var config = require('nodejs-config')(
   __dirname,  // an absolute path to your applications 'config' directory
   {
      development: ["pc1", "pc2"],
      production: ["pc3"],

   }
);

Now you can get any configuration value without worrying about the environment like this:

config.get('app').configurationKey;

Here is the solution I'm using:

const result = `${ window.location.protocol }//${ window.location.host }`;

EDIT:

To add cross-browser compatibility, use the following:

const result = `${ window.location.protocol }//${ window.location.hostname + (window.location.port ? ':' + window.location.port: '') }`;

Java: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

For those who like Debian and prepackaged Java:

sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/test/  # don't mess with other certs
sudo cp ~/tmp/test.loc.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/test/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force ca-certificates  # check your cert in curses GUI!
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh --verbose

Don't forget to check /etc/default/cacerts for:

# enable/disable updates of the keystore /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts
cacerts_updates=yes

To remove cert:

sudo rm /usr/share/ca-certificates/test/test.loc.crt
sudo rm /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh --verbose

Ignore self-signed ssl cert using Jersey Client

For Jersey 2.* (Tested on 2.7) and java 8:

import java.security.cert.CertificateException; 
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate; 
import javax.net.ssl.SSLContext; 
import javax.net.ssl.TrustManager; 
import javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager; 

public static Client ignoreSSLClient() throws Exception {

    SSLContext sslcontext = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

    sslcontext.init(null, new TrustManager[]{new X509TrustManager() {
        public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {}
        public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException {}
        public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() { return new X509Certificate[0]; }

How to check if an element exists in the xml using xpath?

Use the boolean() XPath function

The boolean function converts its argument to a boolean as follows:

  • a number is true if and only if it is neither positive or negative zero nor NaN

  • a node-set is true if and only if it is non-empty

  • a string is true if and only if its length is non-zero

  • an object of a type other than the four basic types is converted to a boolean in a way that is dependent on that type

If there is an AttachedXml in the CreditReport of primary Consumer, then it will return true().

boolean(/mc:Consumers
          /mc:Consumer[@subjectIdentifier='Primary']
            //mc:CreditReport/mc:AttachedXml)

JMS Topic vs Queues

A JMS topic is the type of destination in a 1-to-many model of distribution. The same published message is received by all consuming subscribers. You can also call this the 'broadcast' model. You can think of a topic as the equivalent of a Subject in an Observer design pattern for distributed computing. Some JMS providers efficiently choose to implement this as UDP instead of TCP. For topic's the message delivery is 'fire-and-forget' - if no one listens, the message just disappears. If that's not what you want, you can use 'durable subscriptions'.

A JMS queue is a 1-to-1 destination of messages. The message is received by only one of the consuming receivers (please note: consistently using subscribers for 'topic client's and receivers for queue client's avoids confusion). Messages sent to a queue are stored on disk or memory until someone picks it up or it expires. So queues (and durable subscriptions) need some active storage management, you need to think about slow consumers.

In most environments, I would argue, topics are the better choice because you can always add additional components without having to change the architecture. Added components could be monitoring, logging, analytics, etc. You never know at the beginning of the project what the requirements will be like in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. Change is inevitable, embrace it :-)

How to Load RSA Private Key From File

Two things. First, you must base64 decode the mykey.pem file yourself. Second, the openssl private key format is specified in PKCS#1 as the RSAPrivateKey ASN.1 structure. It is not compatible with java's PKCS8EncodedKeySpec, which is based on the SubjectPublicKeyInfo ASN.1 structure. If you are willing to use the bouncycastle library you can use a few classes in the bouncycastle provider and bouncycastle PKIX libraries to make quick work of this.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.security.KeyPair;
import java.security.Security;

import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;
import org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMKeyPair;
import org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMParser;
import org.bouncycastle.openssl.jcajce.JcaPEMKeyConverter;

// ...   

String keyPath = "mykey.pem";
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(keyPath));
Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
PEMParser pp = new PEMParser(br);
PEMKeyPair pemKeyPair = (PEMKeyPair) pp.readObject();
KeyPair kp = new JcaPEMKeyConverter().getKeyPair(pemKeyPair);
pp.close();
samlResponse.sign(Signature.getInstance("SHA1withRSA").toString(), kp.getPrivate(), certs);

Is there a max size for POST parameter content?

As per this the default is 2 MB for your <Connector>.

maxPostSize = The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be handled by the container FORM URL parameter parsing. The limit can be disabled by setting this attribute to a value less than or equal to 0. If not specified, this attribute is set to 2097152 (2 megabytes).

Edit Tomcat's server.xml. In the <Connector> element, add an attribute maxPostSize and set a larger value (in bytes) to increase the limit.

Having said that, if this is the issue, you should have got an exception on the lines of Post data too big in tomcat

What is an application binary interface (ABI)?

Application binary interface (ABI)

Functionality:

  • Translation from the programmer's model to the underlying system's domain data type, size, alignment, the calling convention, which controls how functions' arguments are passed and return values retrieved; the system call numbers and how an application should make system calls to the operating system; the high-level language compilers' name mangling scheme, exception propagation, and calling convention between compilers on the same platform, but do not require cross-platform compatibility...

Existing entities:

  • Logical blocks that directly participate in program's execution: ALU, general purpose registers, registers for memory/ I/O mapping of I/O, etc...

consumer:

  • Language processors linker, assembler...

These are needed by whoever has to ensure that build tool-chains work as a whole. If you write one module in assembly language, another in Python, and instead of your own boot-loader want to use an operating system, then your "application" modules are working across "binary" boundaries and require agreement of such "interface".

C++ name mangling because object files from different high-level languages might be required to be linked in your application. Consider using GCC standard library making system calls to Windows built with Visual C++.

ELF is one possible expectation of the linker from an object file for interpretation, though JVM might have some other idea.

For a Windows RT Store app, try searching for ARM ABI if you really wish to make some build tool-chain work together.

Can a CSV file have a comment?

A Comma Separated File is really just a text file where the lines consist of values separated by commas.

There is no standard which defines the contents of a CSV file, so there is no defined way of indicating a comment. It depends on the program which will be importing the CSV file.

Of course, this is usually Excel. You should ask yourself how does Excel define a comment? In other words, what would make Excel ignore a line (or part of a line) in the CSV file? I'm not aware of anything which would do this.

Getting new Twitter API consumer and secret keys

step 1.Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps


step 2.Create app(fill up the form)


step 3.Change permissions if necessary(depending if you want to just read,write or execute)


step 4.Go To API keys section and click generate ACCESS TOKEN.


5 years late to answer :)

Now you have these tokens which is all you need.

'oauth_access_token' => Access token
'oauth_access_token_secret' => Access token secret
'consumer_key' => API key
'consumer_secret' => API secret

Understanding generators in Python

I like to describe generators, to those with a decent background in programming languages and computing, in terms of stack frames.

In many languages, there is a stack on top of which is the current stack "frame". The stack frame includes space allocated for variables local to the function including the arguments passed in to that function.

When you call a function, the current point of execution (the "program counter" or equivalent) is pushed onto the stack, and a new stack frame is created. Execution then transfers to the beginning of the function being called.

With regular functions, at some point the function returns a value, and the stack is "popped". The function's stack frame is discarded and execution resumes at the previous location.

When a function is a generator, it can return a value without the stack frame being discarded, using the yield statement. The values of local variables and the program counter within the function are preserved. This allows the generator to be resumed at a later time, with execution continuing from the yield statement, and it can execute more code and return another value.

Before Python 2.5 this was all generators did. Python 2.5 added the ability to pass values back in to the generator as well. In doing so, the passed-in value is available as an expression resulting from the yield statement which had temporarily returned control (and a value) from the generator.

The key advantage to generators is that the "state" of the function is preserved, unlike with regular functions where each time the stack frame is discarded, you lose all that "state". A secondary advantage is that some of the function call overhead (creating and deleting stack frames) is avoided, though this is a usually a minor advantage.

Which concurrent Queue implementation should I use in Java?

ConcurrentLinkedQueue is lock-free, LinkedBlockingQueue is not. Every time you invoke LinkedBlockingQueue.put() or LinkedBlockingQueue.take(), you need acquire the lock first. In other word, LinkedBlockingQueue has poor concurrency. If you care performance, try ConcurrentLinkedQueue + LockSupport.

How to use ConcurrentLinkedQueue?

This is largely a duplicate of another question.

Here's the section of that answer that is relevant to this question:

Do I need to do my own synchronization if I use java.util.ConcurrentLinkedQueue?

Atomic operations on the concurrent collections are synchronized for you. In other words, each individual call to the queue is guaranteed thread-safe without any action on your part. What is not guaranteed thread-safe are any operations you perform on the collection that are non-atomic.

For example, this is threadsafe without any action on your part:

queue.add(obj);

or

queue.poll(obj);

However; non-atomic calls to the queue are not automatically thread-safe. For example, the following operations are not automatically threadsafe:

if(!queue.isEmpty()) {
   queue.poll(obj);
}

That last one is not threadsafe, as it is very possible that between the time isEmpty is called and the time poll is called, other threads will have added or removed items from the queue. The threadsafe way to perform this is like this:

synchronized(queue) {
    if(!queue.isEmpty()) {
       queue.poll(obj);
    }
}

Again...atomic calls to the queue are automatically thread-safe. Non-atomic calls are not.

Disposing WPF User Controls

My scenario is little different, but the intent is same i would like to know when the parent window hosting my user control is closing/closed as The view(i.e my usercontrol) should invoke the presenters oncloseView to execute some functionality and perform clean up. ( well we are implementing a MVP pattern on a WPF PRISM application).

I just figured that in the Loaded event of the usercontrol, i can hook up my ParentWindowClosing method to the Parent windows Closing event. This way my Usercontrol can be aware when the Parent window is being closed and act accordingly!

Why does PEP-8 specify a maximum line length of 79 characters?

Keeping your code human readable not just machine readable. A lot of devices still can only show 80 characters at a time. Also it makes it easier for people with larger screens to multi-task by being able to set up multiple windows to be side by side.

Readability is also one of the reasons for enforced line indentation.

How to make Python script run as service?

for my script of python, I use...

To START python script :

start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile $PIDFILE --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON

To STOP python script :

PID=$(cat $PIDFILE)
kill -9 $PID
rm -f $PIDFILE

P.S.: sorry for poor English, I'm from CHILE :D

How do I kill the process currently using a port on localhost in Windows?

Step 1 (same is in accepted answer written by KavinduWije):

netstat -ano | findstr :yourPortNumber

Change in Step 2 to:

Note: taskkill is not working in some git bash terminal

Prevent redirect after form is submitted

If you want the information in the form to be processed by the PHP page, then you HAVE to make a call to that PHP page. To avoid a redirection or refresh in this process, submit the form info via AJAX. Perhaps use jQuery dialog to display the results, or your custom animation.

How to reset AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL?

You can reset the counter with:

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 1

For InnoDB you cannot set the auto_increment value lower or equal to the highest current index. (quote from ViralPatel):

Note that you cannot reset the counter to a value less than or equal to any that have already been used. For MyISAM, if the value is less than or equal to the maximum value currently in the AUTO_INCREMENT column, the value is reset to the current maximum plus one. For InnoDB, if the value is less than the current maximum value in the column, no error occurs and the current sequence value is not changed.

See How to Reset an MySQL AutoIncrement using a MAX value from another table? on how to dynamically get an acceptable value.

How to check if image exists with given url?

Use Case

$('#myImg').safeUrl({wanted:"http://example/nature.png",rm:"/myproject/images/anonym.png"});

API :

$.fn.safeUrl=function(args){
  var that=this;
  if($(that).attr('data-safeurl') && $(that).attr('data-safeurl') === 'found'){
        return that;
  }else{
       $.ajax({
    url:args.wanted,
    type:'HEAD',
    error:
        function(){
            $(that).attr('src',args.rm)
        },
    success:
        function(){
             $(that).attr('src',args.wanted)
             $(that).attr('data-safeurl','found');
        }
      });
   }


 return that;
};

Note : rm means here risk managment .


Another Use Case :

$('#myImg').safeUrl({wanted:"http://example/1.png",rm:"http://example/2.png"})
.safeUrl({wanted:"http://example/2.png",rm:"http://example/3.png"});
  • 'http://example/1.png' : if not exist 'http://example/2.png'

  • 'http://example/2.png' : if not exist 'http://example/3.png'

Change form size at runtime in C#

If you want to manipulate the form programmatically the simplest solution is to keep a reference to it:

static Form myForm;

static void Main()
{
    myForm = new Form();
    Application.Run(myForm);
}

You can then use that to change the size (or what ever else you want to do) at run time. Though as Arrow points out you can't set the Width and Height directly but have to set the Size property.

entity framework Unable to load the specified metadata resource

Craig Stuntz has written an extensive (in my opinion) blog post on troubleshooting this exact error message, I personally would start there.

The following res: (resource) references need to point to your model.

<add name="Entities" connectionString="metadata=
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.csdl|
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.ssdl|
    res://*/Models.WraithNath.co.uk.msl;

Make sure each one has the name of your .edmx file after the "*/", with the "edmx" changed to the extension for that res (.csdl, .ssdl, or .msl).

It also may help to specify the assembly rather than using "//*/".

Worst case, you can check everything (a bit slower but should always find the resource) by using

<add name="Entities" connectionString="metadata=
        res://*/;provider= <!-- ... -->

Create a zip file and download it

but the file i am getting from server after download it gives the size of 226 bytes

This is the size of a ZIP header. Apparently there is no data in the downloaded ZIP file. So, can you verify that the files to be added into the ZIP file are, indeed, there (relative to the path of the download PHP script)?

Consider adding a check on addFile too:

foreach($file_names as $file)
{
    $inputFile = $file_path . $file;
    if (!file_exists($inputFile))
        trigger_error("The input file $inputFile does not exist", E_USER_ERROR);
    if (!is_readable($inputFile))
        trigger_error("The input file $inputFile exists, but has wrong permissions or ownership", E_USER_ERROR);
    if (!$zip->addFile($inputFile, $file))
        trigger_error("Could not add $inputFile to ZIP file", E_USER_ERROR);
}

The observed behaviour is consistent with some problem (path error, permission problems, ...) preventing the files from being added to the ZIP file. On receiving an "empty" ZIP file, the client issues an error referring to the ZIP central directory missing (the actual error being that there is no directory, and no files).

Convert .pfx to .cer

Might be irrelevant for OP's Q, but I've tried all openssl statements with all the different flags, while trying to connect with PHP \SoapClient(...) and after 3 days I finally found a solution that worked for me.

GitBash

$ cd path/to/certificate/
$ openssl pkcs12 -in personal_certificate.pfx -out public_key.pem -clcerts

First you have to enter YOUR_CERT_PASSWORD once, then DIFFERENT_PASSWORD! twice. The latter will possibly be available to everyone with access to code.

PHP

<?php

$wsdlUrl   = "https://example.com/service.svc?singlewsdl";
$publicKey = "rel/path/to/certificate/public_key.pem";
$password  = "DIFFERENT_PASSWORD!";

$params = [
    'local_cert' => $publicKey,
    'passphrase' => $password,
    'trace' => 1,
    'exceptions' => 0
];

$soapClient = new \SoapClient($wsdlUrl, $params);

var_dump($soapClient->__getFunctions());

Android: adb pull file on desktop

Judging by the desktop folder location you are using Windows. The command in Windows would be:

adb pull /sdcard/log.txt %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\

should use size_t or ssize_t

ssize_t is used for functions whose return value could either be a valid size, or a negative value to indicate an error. It is guaranteed to be able to store values at least in the range [-1, SSIZE_MAX] (SSIZE_MAX is system-dependent).

So you should use size_t whenever you mean to return a size in bytes, and ssize_t whenever you would return either a size in bytes or a (negative) error value.

Using jQuery To Get Size of Viewport

1. Response to the main question

The script $(window).height() does work well (showing the viewport's height and not the document with scrolling height), BUT it needs that you put correctly the doctype tag in your document, for example these doctypes:

For HTML 5:

<!DOCTYPE html>

For transitional HTML4:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Probably the default doctype assumed by some browsers is such, that $(window).height() takes the document's height and not the browser's height. With the doctype specification, it's satisfactorily solved, and I'm pretty sure you peps will avoid the "changing scroll-overflow to hidden and then back", which is, I'm sorry, a bit dirty trick, specially if you don't document it on the code for future programmer's usage.

2. An ADDITIONAL tip, note aside: Moreover, if you are doing a script, you can invent tests to help programmers in using your libraries, let me invent a couple:

$(document).ready(function() {

      if(typeof $=='undefined') {
        alert("PROGRAMMER'S Error: you haven't called JQuery library");
      } else if (typeof $.ui=='undefined') {
        alert("PROGRAMMER'S Error: you haven't installed the UI Jquery library");
      }
      if(document.doctype==null || screen.height < parseInt($(window).height()) ) {
        alert("ERROR, check your doctype, the calculated heights are not what you might expect");
      } 

});


EDIT: about the part 2, "An ADDITIONAL tip, note aside": @Machiel, in yesterday's comment (2014-09-04), was UTTERLY right: the check of the $ can not be inside the ready event of Jquery, because we are, as he pointed out, assuming $ is already defined. THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT, and do please the rest of you readers correct this, if you used it in your scripts. My suggestion is: in your libraries put an "install_script()" function which initializes the library (put any reference to $ inside such init function, including the declaration of ready()) and AT THE BEGINNING of such "install_script()" function, check if the $ is defined, but make everything independent of JQuery, so your library can "diagnose itself" when JQuery is not yet defined. I prefer this method rather than forcing the automatic creation of a JQuery bringing it from a CDN. Those are tiny notes aside for helping out other programmers. I think that people who make libraries must be richer in the feedback to potential programmer's mistakes. For example, Google Apis need an aside manual to understand the error messages. That's absurd, to need external documentation for some tiny mistakes that don't need you to go and search a manual or a specification. The library must be SELF-DOCUMENTED. I write code even taking care of the mistakes I might commit even six months from now, and it still tries to be a clean and not-repetitive code, already-written-to-prevent-future-developer-mistakes.

Wait until a process ends

I think you just want this:

var process = Process.Start(...);
process.WaitForExit();

See the MSDN page for the method. It also has an overload where you can specify the timeout, so you're not potentially waiting forever.

Entity Framework 5 Updating a Record

I have added an extra update method onto my repository base class that's similar to the update method generated by Scaffolding. Instead of setting the entire object to "modified", it sets a set of individual properties. (T is a class generic parameter.)

public void Update(T obj, params Expression<Func<T, object>>[] propertiesToUpdate)
{
    Context.Set<T>().Attach(obj);

    foreach (var p in propertiesToUpdate)
    {
        Context.Entry(obj).Property(p).IsModified = true;
    }
}

And then to call, for example:

public void UpdatePasswordAndEmail(long userId, string password, string email)
{
    var user = new User {UserId = userId, Password = password, Email = email};

    Update(user, u => u.Password, u => u.Email);

    Save();
}

I like one trip to the database. Its probably better to do this with view models, though, in order to avoid repeating sets of properties. I haven't done that yet because I don't know how to avoid bringing the validation messages on my view model validators into my domain project.

Create multiple threads and wait all of them to complete

I've made a very simple extension method to wait for all threads of a collection:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;

namespace Extensions
{
    public static class ThreadExtension
    {
        public static void WaitAll(this IEnumerable<Thread> threads)
        {
            if(threads!=null)
            {
                foreach(Thread thread in threads)
                { thread.Join(); }
            }
        }
    }
}

Then you simply call:

List<Thread> threads=new List<Thread>();
// Add your threads to this collection
threads.WaitAll();

Center Oversized Image in Div

Try something like this. This should center any huge element in the middle vertically and horizontally with respect to its parent no matter both of their sizes.

.parent {
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    //optionally set height and width, it will depend on the rest of the styling used
}

.child {
    position: absolute;
    top: -9999px;
    bottom: -9999px;
    left: -9999px;
    right: -9999px;
    margin: auto;

}

git index.lock File exists when I try to commit, but cannot delete the file

On Linux, Unix, Git Bash, or Cygwin, try:

rm -f .git/index.lock

On Windows Command Prompt, try:

del .git\index.lock


For Windows:

  • From a PowerShell console opened as administrator, try

    rm -Force ./.git/index.lock
    
  • If that does not work, you must kill all git.exe processes

    taskkill /F /IM git.exe
    

    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 20448 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 11312 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 23868 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 27496 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 33480 has been terminated.
    SUCCESS: The process "git.exe" with PID 28036 has been terminated. \

How to listen for changes to a MongoDB collection?

Check out this: Change Streams

January 10, 2018 - Release 3.6

*EDIT: I wrote an article about how to do this https://medium.com/riow/mongodb-data-collection-change-85b63d96ff76

https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.6/changeStreams/


It's new in mongodb 3.6 https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/3.6/ 2018/01/10

$ mongod --version
db version v3.6.2

In order to use changeStreams the database must be a Replication Set

More about Replication Sets: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/replication/

Your Database will be a "Standalone" by default.

How to Convert a Standalone to a Replica Set: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/convert-standalone-to-replica-set/


The following example is a practical application for how you might use this.
* Specifically for Node.

/* file.js */
'use strict'


module.exports = function (
    app,
    io,
    User // Collection Name
) {
    // SET WATCH ON COLLECTION 
    const changeStream = User.watch();  

    // Socket Connection  
    io.on('connection', function (socket) {
        console.log('Connection!');

        // USERS - Change
        changeStream.on('change', function(change) {
            console.log('COLLECTION CHANGED');

            User.find({}, (err, data) => {
                if (err) throw err;

                if (data) {
                    // RESEND ALL USERS
                    socket.emit('users', data);
                }
            });
        });
    });
};

Applying CSS styles to all elements inside a DIV

If you're looking for a shortcut for writing out all of your selectors, then a CSS Preprocessor (Sass, LESS, Stylus, etc.) can do what you're looking for. However, the generated styles must be valid CSS.

Sass:

#applyCSS {
    .ui-bar-a {
       color: blue;
    }
    .ui-bar-a .ui-link-inherit {
       color: orange;
    }
    background: #CCC;
}

Generated CSS:

#applyCSS {
  background: #CCC;
}

#applyCSS .ui-bar-a {
  color: blue;
}

#applyCSS .ui-bar-a .ui-link-inherit {
  color: orange;
}

Can jQuery read/write cookies to a browser?

I have managed to write a script allowing the user to choose his/her language, using the cookie script from Klaus Hartl. It took me a few hours work, and I hope I can help others.

What's the fastest way to convert String to Number in JavaScript?

A fast way to convert strings to an integer is to use a bitwise or, like so:

x | 0

While it depends on how it is implemented, in theory it should be relatively fast (at least as fast as +x) since it will first cast x to a number and then perform a very efficient or.

Passing an integer by reference in Python

The correct answer, is to use a class and put the value inside the class, this lets you pass by reference exactly as you desire.

class Thing:
  def __init__(self,a):
    self.a = a
def dosomething(ref)
  ref.a += 1

t = Thing(3)
dosomething(t)
print("T is now",t.a)

Set Locale programmatically

I had a problem with setting locale programmatically with devices that has Android OS N and higher. For me the solution was writing this code in my base activity:

(if you don't have a base activity then you should make these changes in all of your activities)

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(updateBaseContextLocale(base));
}

private Context updateBaseContextLocale(Context context) {
    String language = SharedPref.getInstance().getSavedLanguage();
    Locale locale = new Locale(language);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        return updateResourcesLocale(context, locale);
    }

    return updateResourcesLocaleLegacy(context, locale);
}

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
private Context updateResourcesLocale(Context context, Locale locale) {
    Configuration configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration();
    configuration.setLocale(locale);
    return context.createConfigurationContext(configuration);
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private Context updateResourcesLocaleLegacy(Context context, Locale locale) {
    Resources resources = context.getResources();
    Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
    configuration.locale = locale;
    resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics());
    return context;
}

note that here it is not enough to call

createConfigurationContext(configuration)

you also need to get the context that this method returns and then to set this context in the attachBaseContext method.

How can I connect to a Tor hidden service using cURL in PHP?

DataTables: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'defaults' of undefined

I got the same error, I'm using laravel 5.4 with webpack, here package.json before:

    ...
    ...
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "datatables.net": "^2.1.1",

I had to move jquery and datatables.net npm packages under one of these "dependencies": {} or "devDependencies": {} in package.json and the error disappeared, after:

  ...
  "devDependencies": {
    "jquery": "^1.12.4",

I hope that helps!

Telnet is not recognized as internal or external command

You have to go to Control Panel>Programs>Turn Windows features on or off. Then, check "Telnet Client" and save the changes. You might have to wait about a few minutes before the change could take effect.

See what's in a stash without applying it

From the man git-stash page:

The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with git stash list, inspected with git stash show

show [<stash>]
       Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the stashed state and
       its original parent. When no <stash> is given, shows the latest one. By default,
       the command shows the diffstat, but it will accept any format known to git diff
       (e.g., git stash show -p stash@{1} to view the second most recent stash in patch
       form).

To list the stashed modifications

git stash list

To show files changed in the last stash

git stash show

So, to view the content of the most recent stash, run

git stash show -p

To view the content of an arbitrary stash, run something like

git stash show -p stash@{1}

What's the difference between dependencies, devDependencies and peerDependencies in npm package.json file?

I'd like to add to the answer my view on these dependencies explanations

  • dependencies are used for direct usage in your codebase, things that usually end up in the production code, or chunks of code
  • devDependencies are used for the build process, tools that help you manage how the end code will end up, third party test modules, (ex. webpack stuff)

How to enable and use HTTP PUT and DELETE with Apache2 and PHP?

The technical limitations with using PUT and DELETE requests does not lie with PHP or Apache2; it is instead on the burden of the browser to sent those types of requests.

Simply putting <form action="" method="PUT"> will not work because there are no browsers that support that method (and they would simply default to GET, treating PUT the same as it would treat gibberish like FDSFGS). Sadly those HTTP verbs are limited to the realm of non-desktop application browsers (ie: web service consumers).

C# getting the path of %AppData%

For ASP.NET, the Load User Profile setting needs to be set on the app pool but that's not enough. There is a hidden setting named setProfileEnvironment in \Windows\System32\inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config, which for some reason is turned off by default, instead of on as described in the documentation. You can either change the default or set it on your app pool. All the methods on the Environment class will then return proper values.

Nothing was returned from render. This usually means a return statement is missing. Or, to render nothing, return null

This error can be seen for a number of reasons:

  1. As mentioned above, starting the parenthesis on a new line.

Error:

render() {
  return  
  (
    <div>I am demo data</div>
  )
}

Correct way to implement render:

render() {
  return (
    <div>I am demo html</div>
  );
}

In the above example, the semicolon at the end of the return statement will not make any difference.

  1. It can also be caused due to the wrong brackets used in the routing:

Error:

export default () => {
  <BrowserRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path='/' component={ DemoComponent } />
    </Switch>
  </BrowserRouter>
}

Correct way:

export default () => (
  <BrowserRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path='/' component={ DemoComponent } />
    </Switch>
  </BrowserRouter>
)

In the error example, we have used curly braces but we have to use round brackets instead. This also gives the same error.

Generating random, unique values C#

This console app will let you shuffle the alphabet five times with different orders.

using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace Shuffle
{
    class Program
    {
        static Random rnd = new Random();
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var alphabet = new string[] { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z" };
            Console.WriteLine("Alphabet : {0}", string.Join(",", alphabet)); 
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
            {
                var shuffledAlphabet = GetShuffledAlphabet(alphabet);
                Console.WriteLine("SHUFFLE {0}: {1}", i, string.Join(",", shuffledAlphabet));
            }
        }

        static string[] GetShuffledAlphabet(string[] arr)
        {
            int?[] uniqueNumbers = new int?[arr.Length];
            string[] shuffledAlphabet = new string[arr.Length];

            for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
            {
                int uniqueNumber = GenerateUniqueNumber(uniqueNumberArrays);
                uniqueNumberArrays[i] = uniqueNumber;
                newArray[i] = arr[uniqueNumber];
            }

            return shuffledAlphabet;
        }

        static int GenerateUniqueNumber(int?[] uniqueNumbers)
        {
            int number = rnd.Next(uniqueNumbers.Length);

            if (!uniqueNumbers.Any(r => r == number))
            {
                return number;
            }

            return GenerateUniqueNumber(uniqueNumbers);
        }
    }
}

Initialize value of 'var' in C# to null

var variables still have a type - and the compiler error message says this type must be established during the declaration.

The specific request (assigning an initial null value) can be done, but I don't recommend it. It doesn't provide an advantage here (as the type must still be specified) and it could be viewed as making the code less readable:

var x = (String)null;

Which is still "type inferred" and equivalent to:

String x = null;

The compiler will not accept var x = null because it doesn't associate the null with any type - not even Object. Using the above approach, var x = (Object)null would "work" although it is of questionable usefulness.

Generally, when I can't use var's type inference correctly then

  1. I am at a place where it's best to declare the variable explicitly; or
  2. I should rewrite the code such that a valid value (with an established type) is assigned during the declaration.

The second approach can be done by moving code into methods or functions.

How to install the current version of Go in Ubuntu Precise

Here is the most straight forward and simple method I found to install go on Ubuntu 14.04 without any ppa or any other tool.

As of now, The version of GO is 1.7

Get the Go 1.7.tar.gz using wget

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Extract it and copy it to /usr/local/

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzvf go1.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

You have now successfully installed GO. Now You have to set Environment Variables so you can use the go command from anywhere.

To achieve this we need to add a line to .bashrc So,

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

and add the following line to the end of file.

export PATH="/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH"

Now, All the commands in go/bin will work.

Check if the install was successful by doing

go version

For offline Documentation you can do

godoc -http=:6060

Offline documentation will be available at http://localhost:6060

NOTE:

Some people here are suggesting to change the PATH variable.

It is not a good choice.

  1. Changing that to /usr/local/go/bin is temporary and it'll reset once you close terminal.

  2. go command will only work in terminal in which you changed the value of PATH.

  3. You'll not be able to use any other command like ls, nano or just about everything because everything else is in /usr/bin or in other locations. All those things will stop working and it'll start giving you error.

However, this is permanent and does not disturbs anything else.

How to markdown nested list items in Bitbucket?

4 spaces do the trick even inside definition list:

Endpoint

    * `withDisabled` - should we include disabled `AGENT`s.
    * `userId` - bla-bla.

I am documenting API using BitBucket Wiki and Markdown proprietary extension for definition list is most pleasing (MD's table syntax is awful, imaging multiline and embedding requirements...).

What does .pack() do?

The pack method sizes the frame so that all its contents are at or above their preferred sizes. An alternative to pack is to establish a frame size explicitly by calling setSize or setBounds (which also sets the frame location). In general, using pack is preferable to calling setSize, since pack leaves the frame layout manager in charge of the frame size, and layout managers are good at adjusting to platform dependencies and other factors that affect component size.

How to set time zone in codeigniter?

Placing this date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata'); on config.php above base url also works

PHP List of Supported Time Zones

application/config/config.php

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');

Another way I have found use full is if you wish to set a time zone for each user

Create a MY_Controller.php

create a column in your user table you can name it timezone or any thing you want to. So that way when user selects his time zone it can can be set to his timezone when login.

application/core/MY_Controller.php

<?php

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->set_timezone();
    }

    public function set_timezone() {
        if ($this->session->userdata('user_id')) {
            $this->db->select('timezone');
            $this->db->from($this->db->dbprefix . 'user');
            $this->db->where('user_id', $this->session->userdata('user_id'));
            $query = $this->db->get();
            if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
                date_default_timezone_set($query->row()->timezone);
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Also to get the list of time zones in php

 $timezones =  DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);

 foreach ($timezones as $timezone) 
 {
    echo $timezone;
    echo "</br>";
 }

What does `dword ptr` mean?

Consider the figure enclosed in this other question. ebp-4 is your first local variable and, seen as a dword pointer, it is the address of a 32 bit integer that has to be cleared. Maybe your source starts with

Object x = null;

process.env.NODE_ENV is undefined

We ran into this problem when working with node on Windows.

Rather than requiring anyone who attempts to run the app to set these variables, we provided a fallback within the application.

var environment = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';

In a production environment, we would define it per the usual methods (SET/export).

Angular 2 Cannot find control with unspecified name attribute on formArrays

In my case I solved the issue by putting the name of the formControl in double and sinlge quotes so that it is interpreted as a string:

formControlName="familyName"

What causes the error "_pickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, ' '."?

pickling is recursive, not sequential. Thus, to pickle a list, pickle will start to pickle the containing list, then pickle the first element… diving into the first element and pickling dependencies and sub-elements until the first element is serialized. Then moves on to the next element of the list, and so on, until it finally finishes the list and finishes serializing the enclosing list. In short, it's hard to treat a recursive pickle as sequential, except for some special cases. It's better to use a smarter pattern on your dump, if you want to load in a special way.

The most common pickle, it to pickle everything with a single dump to a file -- but then you have to load everything at once with a single load. However, if you open a file handle and do multiple dump calls (e.g. one for each element of the list, or a tuple of selected elements), then your load will mirror that… you open the file handle and do multiple load calls until you have all the list elements and can reconstruct the list. It's still not easy to selectively load only certain list elements, however. To do that, you'd probably have to store your list elements as a dict (with the index of the element or chunk as the key) using a package like klepto, which can break up a pickled dict into several files transparently, and enables easy loading of specific elements.

Saving and loading multiple objects in pickle file?

Jasypt provides the org.jasypt.properties.EncryptableProperties class for loading, managing and transparently decrypting encrypted values in .properties files, allowing the mix of both encrypted and not-encrypted values in the same file.

http://www.jasypt.org/encrypting-configuration.html

By using an org.jasypt.properties.EncryptableProperties object, an application would be able to correctly read and use a .properties file like this:

datasource.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver 
datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/reportsdb 
datasource.username=reportsUser 
datasource.password=ENC(G6N718UuyPE5bHyWKyuLQSm02auQPUtm) 

Note that the database password is encrypted (in fact, any other property could also be encrypted, be it related with database configuration or not).

How do we read this value? like this:

/*
* First, create (or ask some other component for) the adequate encryptor for   
* decrypting the values in our .properties file.   
*/  
StandardPBEStringEncryptor encryptor = new StandardPBEStringEncryptor();     
encryptor.setPassword("jasypt"); // could be got from web, env variable...    
/*   
* Create our EncryptableProperties object and load it the usual way.   
*/  
Properties props = new EncryptableProperties(encryptor);  
props.load(new FileInputStream("/path/to/my/configuration.properties"));

/*   
* To get a non-encrypted value, we just get it with getProperty...   
*/  
String datasourceUsername = props.getProperty("datasource.username");

/*   
* ...and to get an encrypted value, we do exactly the same. Decryption will   
* be transparently performed behind the scenes.   
*/ 
String datasourcePassword = props.getProperty("datasource.password");

 // From now on, datasourcePassword equals "reports_passwd"...

ReferenceError: event is not defined error in Firefox

It is because you forgot to pass in event into the click function:

$('.menuOption').on('click', function (e) { // <-- the "e" for event

    e.preventDefault(); // now it'll work

    var categories = $(this).attr('rel');
    $('.pages').hide();
    $(categories).fadeIn();
});

On a side note, e is more commonly used as opposed to the word event since Event is a global variable in most browsers.

Toggle visibility property of div

To do it with an effect like with $.fadeIn() and $.fadeOut() you can use transitions

.visible {
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
  transition: opacity 1s linear;
}
.hidden {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: visibility 0s 1s, opacity 1s linear;
}

laravel compact() and ->with()

I just wanted to hop in here and correct (suggest alternative) to the previous answer....

You can actually use compact in the same way, however a lot neater for example...

return View::make('gameworlds.mygame', compact(array('fixtures', 'teams', 'selections')));

Or if you are using PHP > 5.4

return View::make('gameworlds.mygame', compact(['fixtures', 'teams', 'selections']));

This is far neater, and still allows for readability when reviewing what the application does ;)

Execution sequence of Group By, Having and Where clause in SQL Server?

I think it is implemented in the engine as Matthias said: WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING

Was trying to find a reference online that lists the entire sequence (i.e. "SELECT" comes right down at the bottom), but I can't find it. It was detailed in a "Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005" book I read not that long ago, by Solid Quality Learning

Edit: Found a link: http://blogs.x2line.com/al/archive/2007/06/30/3187.aspx

Please help me convert this script to a simple image slider

Problems only surface when I am I trying to give the first loaded content an active state

Does this mean that you want to add a class to the first button?

$('.o-links').click(function(e) {   // ... }).first().addClass('O_Nav_Current'); 

instead of using IDs for the slider's items and resetting html contents you can use classes and indexes:

CSS:

.image-area {     width: 100%;     height: auto;     display: none; }  .image-area:first-of-type {     display: block; } 

JavaScript:

var $slides = $('.image-area'),     $btns = $('a.o-links');  $btns.on('click', function (e) {     var i = $btns.removeClass('O_Nav_Current').index(this);     $(this).addClass('O_Nav_Current');      $slides.filter(':visible').fadeOut(1000, function () {         $slides.eq(i).fadeIn(1000);     });      e.preventDefault();  }).first().addClass('O_Nav_Current');

"Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not transfer artifact" when trying to refer to a parent pom from a child pom with ${parent.groupid}

As Nayan said the Path has to updated properly in my case the apache-maven was installed in C:\apache-maven and settings.xml was found inside C:\apache-maven\conf\settings.xml

if this doesn't work go to your local repos
in my case C:\Users\<<"name">>.m2\
and search for .lastUpdated and delete them
then build the maven

Checking for NULL pointer in C/C++

I use if (ptr), but this is completely not worth arguing about.

I like my way because it's concise, though others say == NULL makes it easier to read and more explicit. I see where they're coming from, I just disagree the extra stuff makes it any easier. (I hate the macro, so I'm biased.) Up to you.

I disagree with your argument. If you're not getting warnings for assignments in a conditional, you need to turn your warning levels up. Simple as that. (And for the love of all that is good, don't switch them around.)

Note in C++0x, we can do if (ptr == nullptr), which to me does read nicer. (Again, I hate the macro. But nullptr is nice.) I still do if (ptr), though, just because it's what I'm used to.

How to add element in List while iterating in java?

Just iterate the old-fashion way, because you need explicit index handling:

List myList = ...
...
int length = myList.size();
for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
   String s = myList.get(i);
   // add items here, if you want to
}

Why emulator is very slow in Android Studio?

Try using another android virtual device. You can create one by adding a new device by going to the AVD Manager. Select the screen size 3'2 and API-10 (gingerbread).

This worked for me, and it is super-fast now.

P.S.- My laptop used to take forever to load the emulator, and It never got started due to insufficient memory(4.2). I used to get restart again and again. This solved my problem.

Convert array of integers to comma-separated string

How do I find the current directory of a batch file, and then use it for the path?

ElektroStudios answer is a bit misleading.

"when you launch a bat file the working dir is the dir where it was launched" This is true if the user clicks on the batch file in the explorer.

However, if the script is called from another script using the CALL command, the current working directory does not change.

Thus, inside your script, it is better to use %~dp0subfolder\file1.txt

Please also note that %~dp0 will end with a backslash when the current script is not in the current working directory. Thus, if you need the directory name without a trailing backslash, you could use something like

call :GET_THIS_DIR
echo I am here: %THIS_DIR%
goto :EOF

:GET_THIS_DIR
pushd %~dp0
set THIS_DIR=%CD%
popd
goto :EOF

URL Encode a string in jQuery for an AJAX request

encodeURIComponent works fine for me. we can give the url like this in ajax call.The code shown below:

  $.ajax({
    cache: false,
    type: "POST",
    url: "http://atandra.mivamerchantdev.com//mm5/json.mvc?Store_Code=ATA&Function=Module&Module_Code=thub_connector&Module_Function=THUB_Request",
    data: "strChannelName=" + $('#txtupdstorename').val() + "&ServiceUrl=" + encodeURIComponent($('#txtupdserviceurl').val()),
    dataType: "HTML",
    success: function (data) {
    },
    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
    }
  });

How to make borders collapse (on a div)?

Instead using border use box-shadow:

  box-shadow: 
    2px 0 0 0 #888, 
    0 2px 0 0 #888, 
    2px 2px 0 0 #888,   /* Just to fix the corner */
    2px 0 0 0 #888 inset, 
    0 2px 0 0 #888 inset;

PHP save image file

Note: you should use the accepted answer if possible. It's better than mine.

It's quite easy with the GD library.

It's built in usually, you probably have it (use phpinfo() to check)

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://images.websnapr.com/?size=size&key=Y64Q44QLt12u&url=http://google.com");

imagejpeg($image, "folder/file.jpg");

The above answer is better (faster) for most situations, but with GD you can also modify it in some form (cropping for example).

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://images.websnapr.com/?size=size&key=Y64Q44QLt12u&url=http://google.com");
imagecopy($image, $image, 0, 140, 0, 0, imagesx($image), imagesy($image));
imagejpeg($image, "folder/file.jpg");

This only works if allow_url_fopen is true (it is by default)

Setting a log file name to include current date in Log4j

I'm 99% sure that RollingFileAppender/DailyRollingFileAppender, while it gives you the date-rolling functionality you want, doesn't have any way to specify that the current log file should use the DatePattern as well.

You might just be able to simply subclass RollingFileAppender (or DailyRollingFileAppender, I forget which is which in log4net) and modify the naming logic.

How can I output a UTF-8 CSV in PHP that Excel will read properly?

I have the same (or similar) problem.

In my case, if I add a BOM to the output, it works:

header('Content-Encoding: UTF-8');
header('Content-type: text/csv; charset=UTF-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Customers_Export.csv');
echo "\xEF\xBB\xBF"; // UTF-8 BOM

I believe this is a pretty ugly hack, but it worked for me, at least for Excel 2007 Windows. Not sure it'll work on Mac.

How to change the CHARACTER SET (and COLLATION) throughout a database?

here describes the process well. However, some of the characters that didn't fit in latin space are gone forever. UTF-8 is a SUPERSET of latin1. Not the reverse. Most will fit in single byte space, but any undefined ones will not (check a list of latin1 - not all 256 characters are defined, depending on mysql's latin1 definition)

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

How to load my app from Eclipse to my Android phone instead of AVD

Yes! You can Debug Android Application While you are developing them follow these steps.. Make sure that you have PC suite of the mobile manufacturer. For Example:if you are using samsung you should have samsung kies

1.Enable USB debugging on your device:Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging 2.Enable Unknownresources:Settings>Unknowresoures
3.Connect your device to PC
4.Select your Application Right click it: RunAS>Run configurations>Choose Device>Target Select your device Run.

You can also without using debugging cable.For that you need to install Airdroid in your device.After installing enter the link in your browser and Drag and Drop .apk file.

Happy Coding!

Vuex - passing multiple parameters to mutation

In simple terms you need to build your payload into a key array

payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

Then send the payload directly to the action

this.$store.dispatch('yourAction', payload)

No change in your action

yourAction: ({commit}, payload) => {
  commit('YOUR_MUTATION',  payload )
},

In your mutation call the values with the key

'YOUR_MUTATION' (state,  payload ){
  state.state1 = payload.key1
  state.state2 =  payload.key2
},

Upload files from Java client to a HTTP server

Here is how you could do it with Java 11's java.net.http package:

    var fileA = new File("a.pdf");
    var fileB = new File("b.pdf");

    var mimeMultipartData = MimeMultipartData.newBuilder()
            .withCharset(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
            .addFile("file1", fileA.toPath(), Files.probeContentType(fileA.toPath()))
            .addFile("file2", fileB.toPath(), Files.probeContentType(fileB.toPath()))
            .build();

    var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
            .header("Content-Type", mimeMultipartData.getContentType())
            .POST(mimeMultipartData.getBodyPublisher())
            .uri(URI.create("http://somehost/upload"))
            .build();

    var httpClient = HttpClient.newBuilder().build();
    var response = httpClient.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());

With the following MimeMultipartData:

public class MimeMultipartData {

    public static class Builder {

        private String boundary;
        private Charset charset = StandardCharsets.UTF_8;
        private List<MimedFile> files = new ArrayList<MimedFile>();
        private Map<String, String> texts = new LinkedHashMap<>();

        private Builder() {
            this.boundary = new BigInteger(128, new Random()).toString();
        }

        public Builder withCharset(Charset charset) {
            this.charset = charset;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder withBoundary(String boundary) {
            this.boundary = boundary;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder addFile(String name, Path path, String mimeType) {
            this.files.add(new MimedFile(name, path, mimeType));
            return this;
        }

        public Builder addText(String name, String text) {
            texts.put(name, text);
            return this;
        }

        public MimeMultipartData build() throws IOException {
            MimeMultipartData mimeMultipartData = new MimeMultipartData();
            mimeMultipartData.boundary = boundary;

            var newline = "\r\n".getBytes(charset);
            var byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            for (var f : files) {
                byteArrayOutputStream.write(("--" + boundary).getBytes(charset)); 
                byteArrayOutputStream.write(newline);
                byteArrayOutputStream.write(("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + f.name + "\"; filename=\"" + f.path.getFileName() + "\"").getBytes(charset));

Android - save/restore fragment state

I'm not quite sure if this question is still bothering you, since it has been several months. But I would like to share how I dealt with this. Here is the source code:

int FLAG = 0;
private View rootView;
private LinearLayout parentView;

/**
 * The fragment argument representing the section number for this fragment.
 */
private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

/**
 * Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section number.
 */
public static Fragment2 newInstance(Bundle bundle) {
    Fragment2 fragment = new Fragment2();
    Bundle args = bundle;
    fragment.setArguments(args);
    return fragment;
}

public Fragment2() {

}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    Log.e("onCreateView","onCreateView");
    if(FLAG!=12321){
        rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_create_new_album, container, false);
        changeFLAG(12321);
    }       
    parentView=new LinearLayout(getActivity());
    parentView.addView(rootView);

    return parentView;
}

/* (non-Javadoc)
 * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onDestroy()
 */
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.e("onDestroy","onDestroy");
}

/* (non-Javadoc)
 * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onStart()
 */
@Override
public void onStart() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onStart();
    Log.e("onstart","onstart");
}

/* (non-Javadoc)
 * @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onStop()
 */
@Override
public void onStop() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onStop();
    if(false){
        Bundle savedInstance=getArguments();
        LinearLayout viewParent;

        viewParent= (LinearLayout) rootView.getParent();
        viewParent.removeView(rootView);

    }
    parentView.removeView(rootView);

    Log.e("onStop","onstop");
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    Log.e("onpause","onpause");
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Log.e("onResume","onResume");
}

And here is the MainActivity:

/**
 * Fragment managing the behaviors, interactions and presentation of the
 * navigation drawer.
 */
private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment;

/**
 * Used to store the last screen title. For use in
 * {@link #restoreActionBar()}.
 */

public static boolean fragment2InstanceExists=false;
public static Fragment2 fragment2=null;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
    mTitle = getTitle();

    // Set up the drawer.
    mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(R.id.navigation_drawer,
            (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}

@Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
    // update the main content by replacing fragments
    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction=fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    switch(position){
    case 0:
        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, Fragment1.newInstance(position+1)).commit();
        break;
    case 1:

        Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
        bundle.putInt("source_of_create",CommonMethods.CREATE_FROM_ACTIVITY);

        if(!fragment2InstanceExists){
            fragment2=Fragment2.newInstance(bundle);
            fragment2InstanceExists=true;
        }
        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, fragment2).commit();

        break;
    case 2:
        fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, FolderExplorerFragment.newInstance(position+1)).commit();
        break;
    default: 
        break;
    }
}

The parentView is the keypoint. Normally, when onCreateView, we just use return rootView. But now, I add rootView to parentView, and then return parentView. To prevent "The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the ..." error, we need to call parentView.removeView(rootView), or the method I supplied is useless. I also would like to share how I found it. Firstly, I set up a boolean to indicate if the instance exists. When the instance exists, the rootView will not be inflated again. But then, logcat gave the child already has a parent thing, so I decided to use another parent as a intermediate Parent View. That's how it works.

Hope it's helpful to you.

Select multiple columns by labels in pandas

Name- or Label-Based (using regular expression syntax)

df.filter(regex='[A-CEG-I]')   # does NOT depend on the column order

Note that any regular expression is allowed here, so this approach can be very general. E.g. if you wanted all columns starting with a capital or lowercase "A" you could use: df.filter(regex='^[Aa]')

Location-Based (depends on column order)

df[ list(df.loc[:,'A':'C']) + ['E'] + list(df.loc[:,'G':'I']) ]

Note that unlike the label-based method, this only works if your columns are alphabetically sorted. This is not necessarily a problem, however. For example, if your columns go ['A','C','B'], then you could replace 'A':'C' above with 'A':'B'.

The Long Way

And for completeness, you always have the option shown by @Magdalena of simply listing each column individually, although it could be much more verbose as the number of columns increases:

df[['A','B','C','E','G','H','I']]   # does NOT depend on the column order

Results for any of the above methods

          A         B         C         E         G         H         I

How to post pictures to instagram using API

Update:

Instagram are now banning accounts and removing the images based on this method. Please use with caution.


It seems that everyone who has answered this question with something along the lines of it can't be done is somewhat correct. Officially, you cannot post a photo to Instagram with their API. However, if you reverse engineer the API, you can.

function SendRequest($url, $post, $post_data, $user_agent, $cookies) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/'.$url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

    if($post) {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
    }

    if($cookies) {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');            
    } else {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');
    }

    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $http = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);

Just copy and paste the code above in your text editor, change the few variables accordingly and VOILA! I wrote an article about this and I've done it many times. See a demo here.

Visual Studio 2008 Product Key in Registry?

For 32 bit Windows:


Visual Studio 2003:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2005:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Registration\PIDKEY


For 64 bit Windows:


Visual Studio 2003:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2005:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Registration\PIDKEY

Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Registration\PIDKEY


Notes:

  • Data is a GUID without dashes. Put a dash ( – ) after every 5 characters to convert to product key.
  • If PIDKEY value is empty try to look at the subfolders e.g.

    ...\Registration\1000.0x0000\PIDKEY

    or

    ...\Registration\2000.0x0000\PIDKEY

How to convert string to integer in C#

string varString = "15";
int i = int.Parse(varString);

or

int varI;
string varString = "15";
int.TryParse(varString, out varI);

int.TryParse is safer since if you put something else in varString (for example "fsfdsfs") you would get an exception. By using int.TryParse when string can't be converted into int it will return 0.

Get specific ArrayList item

Time to familiarize yourself with the ArrayList API and more:

ArrayList at Java 6 API Documentation

For your immediate question:

Converting String To Float in C#

You can use parsing with double instead of float to get more precision value.

Java LinkedHashMap get first or last entry

public static List<Fragment> pullToBackStack() {
    List<Fragment> fragments = new ArrayList<>();
    List<Map.Entry<String, Fragment>> entryList = new ArrayList<>(backMap.entrySet());
    int size = entryList.size();
    if (size > 0) {
        for (int i = size - 1; i >= 0; i--) {// last Fragments
            fragments.add(entryList.get(i).getValue());
            backMap.remove(entryList.get(i).getKey());
        }
        return fragments;

Short circuit Array.forEach like calling break

From your code example, it looks like Array.prototype.find is what you are looking for: Array.prototype.find() and Array.prototype.findIndex()

[1, 2, 3].find(function(el) {
    return el === 2;
}); // returns 2

What is a mixin, and why are they useful?

It's not a Python example but in the D programing language the term mixin is used to refer to a construct used much the same way; adding a pile of stuff to a class.

In D (which by the way doesn't do MI) this is done by inserting a template (think syntactically aware and safe macros and you will be close) into a scope. This allows for a single line of code in a class, struct, function, module or whatever to expand to any number of declarations.

What MySQL data type should be used for Latitude/Longitude with 8 decimal places?

I believe the best way to store Lat/Lng in MySQL is to have a POINT column (2D datatype) with a SPATIAL index.

CREATE TABLE `cities` (
  `zip` varchar(8) NOT NULL,
  `country` varchar (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (SUBSTRING(`zip`, 1, 2)) STORED,
  `city` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `centre` point NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`zip`),
  KEY `country` (`country`),
  KEY `city` (`city`),
  SPATIAL KEY `centre` (`centre`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;


INSERT INTO `cities` (`zip`, `city`, `centre`) VALUES
('CZ-10000', 'Prague', POINT(50.0755381, 14.4378005));

Calling one Activity from another in Android

This task can be accomplished using one of the android's main building block named as Intents and One of the methods public void startActivity (Intent intent) which belongs to your Activity class.

An intent is an abstract description of an operation to be performed. It can be used with startActivity to launch an Activity, broadcastIntent to send it to any interested BroadcastReceiver components, and startService(Intent) or bindService(Intent, ServiceConnection, int) to communicate with a background Service.

An Intent provides a facility for performing late runtime binding between the code in different applications. Its most significant use is in the launching of activities, where it can be thought of as the glue between activities. It is basically a passive data structure holding an abstract description of an action to be performed.

Refer the official docs -- http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

public void startActivity (Intent intent) -- Used to launch a new activity.

So suppose you have two Activity class and on a button click's OnClickListener() you wanna move from one Activity to another then --

  1. PresentActivity -- This is your current activity from which you want to go the second activity.

  2. NextActivity -- This is your next Activity on which you want to move (It may contain anything like you are saying dialog box).

So the Intent would be like this

Intent(PresentActivity.this, NextActivity.class)

Finally this will be the complete code

  public class PresentActivity extends Activity {
        protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
            super.onCreate(icicle);

            setContentView(R.layout.content_layout_id);

            final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
            button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // Perform action on click   

                    Intent activityChangeIntent = new Intent(PresentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);

                    // currentContext.startActivity(activityChangeIntent);

                    PresentActivity.this.startActivity(activityChangeIntent);
                }
            });
        }
    }

This exmple is related to button click you can use the code anywhere which is written inside button click's OnClickListener() at any place where you want to switch between your activities.

How do I define global variables in CoffeeScript?

I think what you are trying to achieve can simply be done like this :

While you are compiling the coffeescript, use the "-b" parameter.

-b / --bare Compile the JavaScript without the top-level function safety wrapper.

So something like this : coffee -b --compile somefile.coffee whatever.js

This will output your code just like in the CoffeeScript.org site.

How to create an on/off switch with Javascript/CSS?

Using plain javascript

<html>

  <head>

     <!-- define on/off styles -->
     <style type="text/css">
      .on  { background:blue; }
      .off { background:red; }
     </style>

     <!-- define the toggle function -->
     <script language="javascript">
        function toggleState(item){
           if(item.className == "on") {
              item.className="off";
           } else {
              item.className="on";
           }
        }
     </script>
  </head>

  <body>
     <!-- call 'toggleState' whenever clicked -->
     <input type="button" id="btn" value="button" 
        class="off" onclick="toggleState(this)" />
  </body>

</html>

Using jQuery

If you use jQuery, you can do it using the toggle function, or using the toggleClass function inside click event handler, like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('a#myButton').click(function(){
        $(this).toggleClass("btnClicked");
    });
});

Using jQuery UI effects, you can animate transitions: http://jqueryui.com/demos/toggleClass/

how to remove the first two columns in a file using shell (awk, sed, whatever)

Its pretty straight forward to do it with only shell

while read A B C; do
echo "$C"
done < oldfile >newfile

How to Diff between local uncommitted changes and origin

To see non-staged (non-added) changes to existing files

git diff

Note that this does not track new files. To see staged, non-commited changes

git diff --cached

Twig: in_array or similar possible within if statement?

another example following @jake stayman:

{% for key, item in row.divs %}
    {% if (key not in [1,2,9]) %} // eliminate element 1,2,9
        <li>{{ item }}</li>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Display a decimal in scientific notation

Given your number

x = Decimal('40800000000.00000000000000')

Starting from Python 3,

'{:.2e}'.format(x)

is the recommended way to do it.

e means you want scientific notation, and .2 means you want 2 digits after the dot. So you will get x.xxE±n

What's the difference between a temp table and table variable in SQL Server?

Just looking at the claim in the accepted answer that table variables don't participate in logging.

It seems generally untrue that there is any difference in quantity of logging (at least for insert/update/delete operations to the table itself though I have since found that there is some small difference in this respect for cached temporary objects in stored procedures due to additional system table updates).

I looked at the logging behaviour against both a @table_variable and a #temp table for the following operations.

  1. Successful Insert
  2. Multi Row Insert where statement rolled back due to constraint violation.
  3. Update
  4. Delete
  5. Deallocate

The transaction log records were almost identical for all operations.

The table variable version actually has a few extra log entries because it gets an entry added to (and later removed from) the sys.syssingleobjrefs base table but overall had a few less bytes logged purely as the internal name for table variables consumes 236 less bytes than for #temp tables (118 fewer nvarchar characters).

Full script to reproduce (best run on an instance started in single user mode and using sqlcmd mode)

:setvar tablename "@T" 
:setvar tablescript "DECLARE @T TABLE"

/*
 --Uncomment this section to test a #temp table
:setvar tablename "#T" 
:setvar tablescript "CREATE TABLE #T"
*/

Xcode doesn't see my iOS device but iTunes does

I just barely tried every solution suggested above. The only thing that worked and resolved my issue was to go into xcode's "Organizer", right click on my iPhone, click on "Remove from organizer" and then wait about 10 seconds while xcode automatically re-added the device.

I previously plugged in my phone and itunes recognized it fine and synced with it, etc, but all xcode said in the organizer was "Device is not currently connected", which it was most definitely connected if itunes was syncing with it and not syncing over wi-fi.

Why xcode needed me to delete and re-add the phone is beyond me, but it works great now that I did this.

Get current cursor position in a textbox

Here's one possible method.

function isMouseInBox(e) {
  var textbox = document.getElementById('textbox');

  // Box position & sizes
  var boxX = textbox.offsetLeft;
  var boxY = textbox.offsetTop;
  var boxWidth = textbox.offsetWidth;
  var boxHeight = textbox.offsetHeight;

  // Mouse position comes from the 'mousemove' event
  var mouseX = e.pageX;
  var mouseY = e.pageY;
  if(mouseX>=boxX && mouseX<=boxX+boxWidth) {
    if(mouseY>=boxY && mouseY<=boxY+boxHeight){
       // Mouse is in the box
       return true;
    }
  }
}

document.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e){
    isMouseInBox(e);
})

How to check whether input value is integer or float?

You should check that fractional part of the number is 0. Use

x==Math.ceil(x)

or

x==Math.round(x)

or something like that

How to Create a Form Dynamically Via Javascript

some thing as follows ::

Add this After the body tag

This is a rough sketch, you will need to modify it according to your needs.

<script>
var f = document.createElement("form");
f.setAttribute('method',"post");
f.setAttribute('action',"submit.php");

var i = document.createElement("input"); //input element, text
i.setAttribute('type',"text");
i.setAttribute('name',"username");

var s = document.createElement("input"); //input element, Submit button
s.setAttribute('type',"submit");
s.setAttribute('value',"Submit");

f.appendChild(i);
f.appendChild(s);

//and some more input elements here
//and dont forget to add a submit button

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(f);

</script>

Select the first 10 rows - Laravel Eloquent

Another way to do it is using a limit method:

Listing::limit(10)->get();

This can be useful if you're not trying to implement pagination, but for example, return 10 random rows from a table:

Listing::inRandomOrder()->limit(10)->get();

How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?

I compared the tree plugins mentioned in this post. I generated 2 jars and a directory with all the jars. I compared the results and definitely the maven-shade-plugin is the best. My challenge was that I have multiple spring resources that needed to be merged, as well as jax-rs, and JDBC services. They were all merged properly by the shade plugin in comparison with the maven-assembly-plugin. In which case the spring will fail unless you copy them to your own resources folder and merge them manually one time. Both plugins output the correct dependency tree. I had multiple scopes like test,provide, compile, etc the test and provided were skipped by both plugins. They both produced the same manifest but I was able to consolidate licenses with the shade plugin using their transformer. With the maven-dependency-plugin of course you don't have those problems because the jars are not extracted. But like some other have pointed you need to carry one extra file(s) to work properly. Here is a snip of the pom.xml

What exactly is "exit" in PowerShell?

It's a reserved keyword (like return, filter, function, break).

Reference

Also, as per Section 7.6.4 of Bruce Payette's Powershell in Action:

But what happens when you want a script to exit from within a function defined in that script? ... To make this easier, Powershell has the exit keyword.

Of course, as other have pointed out, it's not hard to do what you want by wrapping exit in a function:

PS C:\> function ex{exit}
PS C:\> new-alias ^D ex

Eclipse gives “Java was started but returned exit code 13”

In your eclipse.ini file simply put

–vm
/home/aniket/jdk1.7.0_11/bin(Your path to JDK 7)

before -vmargs line.

intl extension: installing php_intl.dll

You have to modify the php.ini file by removing the semi-colon on the line containing extension=php_intl.dll

After this, go to the php folder of Xamp or Wamp or EasyPHP, copy every dll file containing icu*, Paste them inside your windows file.

That worked for me. Configuration : EasyPHP Dev Server, Windows 10.

Get immediate first child element

Both these will give you the first child node:

console.log(parentElement.firstChild); // or
console.log(parentElement.childNodes[0]);

If you need the first child that is an element node then use:

console.log(parentElement.children[0]);

Edit

Ah, I see your problem now; parentElement is an array.

If you know that getElementsByClassName will only return one result, which it seems you do, you should use [0] to dearray (yes, I made that word up) the element:

var parentElement = document.getElementsByClassName("uniqueClassName")[0];

Regular Expression to reformat a US phone number in Javascript

The solutions above are superior, especially if using Java, and encountering more numbers with more than 10 digits such as the international code prefix or additional extension numbers. This solution is basic (I'm a beginner in the regex world) and designed with US Phone numbers in mind and is only useful for strings with just 10 numbers with perhaps some formatting characters, or perhaps no formatting characters at all (just 10 numbers). As such I would recomend this solution only for semi-automatic applications. I Personally prefer to store numbers as just 10 numbers without formatting characters, but also want to be able to convert or clean phone numbers to the standard format normal people and apps/phones will recognize instantly at will.

I came across this post looking for something I could use with a text cleaner app that has PCRE Regex capabilities (but no java functions). I will post this here for people who could use a simple pure Regex solution that could work in a variety of text editors, cleaners, expanders, or even some clipboard managers. I personally use Sublime and TextSoap. This solution was made for Text Soap as it lives in the menu bar and provides a drop-down menu where you can trigger text manipulation actions on what is selected by the cursor or what's in the clipboard.

My approach is essentially two substitution/search and replace regexes. Each substitution search and replace involves two regexes, one for search and one for replace.

Substitution/ Search & Replace #1

  • The first substitution/ search & replace strips non-numeric numbers from an otherwise 10-digit number to a 10-digit string.

First Substitution/ Search Regex: \D

  • This search string matches all characters that is not a digit.

First Substitution/ Replace Regex: "" (nothing, not even a space)

  • Leave the substitute field completely blank, no white space should exist including spaces. This will result in all matched non-digit characters being deleted. You should have gone in with 10 digits + formatting characters prior this operation and come out with 10 digits sans formatting characters.

Substitution/ Search & Replace #2

  • The second substitution/search and replace search part of the operation captures groups for area code $1, a capture group for the second set of three numbers $2, and the last capture group for the last set of four numbers $3. The regex for the substitute portion of the operation inserts US phone number formatting in between the captured group of digits.

Second Substitution/ Search Regex: (\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})

Second Substitution/ Replace Regex: \($1\) $2\-$3

  • The backslash \ escapes the special characters (, ) , (<-whitespace), and - since we are inserting them between our captured numbers in capture groups $1, $2, & $3 for US phone number formatting purposes.

  • In TextSoap I created a custom cleaner that includes the two substitution operation actions, so in practice it feels identical to executing a script. I'm sure this solution could be improved but I expect complexity to go up quite a bit. An improved version of this solution is welcomed as a learning experience if anyone wants to add to this.

How do I create 7-Zip archives with .NET?

Here's a complete working example using the SevenZip SDK in C#.

It will write, and read, standard 7zip files as created by the Windows 7zip application.

Ball to Ball Collision - Detection and Handling

You have two easy ways to do this. Jay has covered the accurate way of checking from the center of the ball.

The easier way is to use a rectangle bounding box, set the size of your box to be 80% the size of the ball, and you'll simulate collision pretty well.

Add a method to your ball class:

public Rectangle getBoundingRect()
{
   int ballHeight = (int)Ball.Height * 0.80f;
   int ballWidth = (int)Ball.Width * 0.80f;
   int x = Ball.X - ballWidth / 2;
   int y = Ball.Y - ballHeight / 2;

   return new Rectangle(x,y,ballHeight,ballWidth);
}

Then, in your loop:

// Checks every ball against every other ball. 
// For best results, split it into quadrants like Ryan suggested. 
// I didn't do that for simplicity here.
for (int i = 0; i < balls.count; i++)
{
    Rectangle r1 = balls[i].getBoundingRect();

    for (int k = 0; k < balls.count; k++)
    {

        if (balls[i] != balls[k])
        {
            Rectangle r2 = balls[k].getBoundingRect();

            if (r1.Intersects(r2))
            {
                 // balls[i] collided with balls[k]
            }
        }
    }
}

Change :hover CSS properties with JavaScript

If it fits your purpose you can add the hover functionality without using css and using the onmouseover event in javascript

Here is a code snippet

<div id="mydiv">foo</div>

<script>
document.getElementById("mydiv").onmouseover = function() 
{
    this.style.backgroundColor = "blue";
}
</script>

Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]

In the endpoint tag you need to include the property address=""

<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="SecureBasicRest" behaviorConfiguration="svcEndpoint" name="webHttp" contract="SvcContract.Authenticate" />

Types in MySQL: BigInt(20) vs Int(20)

I wanted to add one more point is, if you are storing a really large number like 902054990011312 then one can easily see the difference of INT(20) and BIGINT(20). It is advisable to store in BIGINT.

How do I POST urlencoded form data with $http without jQuery?

you need to post plain javascript object, nothing else

           var request = $http({
                method: "post",
                url: "process.cfm",
                transformRequest: transformRequestAsFormPost,
                data: { id: 4, name: "Kim" }
            });

            request.success(
                function( data ) {
                    $scope.localData = data;
                }
            );

if you have php as back-end then you will need to do some more modification.. checkout this link for fixing php server side

Where does one get the "sys/socket.h" header/source file?

Given that Windows has no sys/socket.h, you might consider just doing something like this:

#ifdef __WIN32__
# include <winsock2.h>
#else
# include <sys/socket.h>
#endif

I know you indicated that you won't use WinSock, but since WinSock is how TCP networking is done under Windows, I don't see that you have any alternative. Even if you use a cross-platform networking library, that library will be calling WinSock internally. Most of the standard BSD sockets API calls are implemented in WinSock, so with a bit of futzing around, you can make the same sockets-based program compile under both Windows and other OS's. Just don't forget to do a

#ifdef __WIN32__
   WORD versionWanted = MAKEWORD(1, 1);
   WSADATA wsaData;
   WSAStartup(versionWanted, &wsaData);
#endif

at the top of main()... otherwise all of your socket calls will fail under Windows, because the WSA subsystem wasn't initialized for your process.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)

Update for python 3.0 and later. Try the following in the python editor:

locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.en
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

This sets the system`s default locale encoding to the UTF-8 format.

More can be read here at PEP 538 -- Coercing the legacy C locale to a UTF-8 based locale.

Should I use .done() and .fail() for new jQuery AJAX code instead of success and error

When we are going to migrate JQuery from 1.x to 2x or 3.x in our old existing application , then we will use .done,.fail instead of success,error as JQuery up gradation is going to be deprecated these methods.For example when we make a call to server web methods then server returns promise objects to the calling methods(Ajax methods) and this promise objects contains .done,.fail..etc methods.Hence we will the same for success and failure response. Below is the example(it is for POST request same way we can construct for request type like GET...)

 $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: url,
            data: '{"name" :"sheo"}',
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            async: false,
            cache: false
            }).done(function (Response) {
                  //do something when get response            })
           .fail(function (Response) {
                    //do something when any error occurs.
                });

How to convert a date string to different format

I assume I have import datetime before running each of the lines of code below

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')

prints "01/25/13".

If you can't live with the leading zero, try this:

dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d')
print '{0}/{1}/{2:02}'.format(dt.month, dt.day, dt.year % 100)

This prints "1/25/13".

EDIT: This may not work on every platform:

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')

How to start working with GTest and CMake

You can get the best of both worlds. It is possible to use ExternalProject to download the gtest source and then use add_subdirectory() to add it to your build. This has the following advantages:

  • gtest is built as part of your main build, so it uses the same compiler flags, etc. and hence avoids problems like the ones described in the question.
  • There's no need to add the gtest sources to your own source tree.

Used in the normal way, ExternalProject won't do the download and unpacking at configure time (i.e. when CMake is run), but you can get it to do so with just a little bit of work. I've written a blog post on how to do this which also includes a generalised implementation which works for any external project which uses CMake as its build system, not just gtest. You can find them here:

Update: This approach is now also part of the googletest documentation.

Create PDF with Java

I prefer outputting my data into XML (using Castor, XStream or JAXB), then transforming it using a XSLT stylesheet into XSL-FO and render that with Apache FOP into PDF. Worked so far for 10-page reports and 400-page manuals. I found this more flexible and stylable than generating PDFs in code using iText.

Python "expected an indented block"

There are several issues:

  1. elif option == 2: and the subsequent elif-else should be aligned with the second if option == 1, not with the for.

  2. The for x in range(x, 1, 1): is missing a body.

  3. Since "option 1 (count)" requires a second input, you need to call input() for the second time. However, for sanity's sake I urge you to store the result in a second variable rather than repurposing option.

  4. The comparison in the first line of your code is probably meant to be an assignment.

You'll discover more issues once you're able to run your code (you'll need a couple more input() calls, one of the range() calls will need attention etc).

Lastly, please don't use the same variable as the loop variable and as part of the initial/terminal condition, as in:

            for x in range(1, x, 1):
                print x

It may work, but it is very confusing to read. Give the loop variable a different name:

            for i in range(1, x, 1):
                print i

Where are Magento's log files located?

You can find the log within you Magento root directory under

var/log

there are two types of log files system.log and exception.log

you need to give the correct permission to var folder, then enable logging from your Magento admin by going to

System > Configuration> Developer > Log Settings > Enable = Yes

system.log is used for general debugging and catches almost all log entries from Magento, including warning, debug and errors messages from both native and custom modules.

exception.log is reserved for exceptions only, for example when you are using try-catch statement.

To output to either the default system.log or the exception.log see the following code examples:

Mage::log('My log entry');
Mage::log('My log message: '.$myVariable);
Mage::log($myArray);
Mage::log($myObject);
Mage::logException($e);

You can create your own log file for more debugging

Mage::log('My log entry', null, 'mylogfile.log');

How can I clone a JavaScript object except for one key?

Here's an option for omitting dynamic keys that I believe has not been mentioned yet:

const obj = { 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4 };
const removeMe = 1;

const { [removeMe]: removedKey, ...newObj } = obj;

removeMe is aliased as removedKey and ignored. newObj becomes { 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4 }. Note that the removed key does not exist, the value was not just set to undefined.

"inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation"

Don't use tabs.

  1. Set your editor to use 4 spaces for indentation.
  2. Make a search and replace to replace all tabs with 4 spaces.
  3. Make sure your editor is set to display tabs as 8 spaces.

Note: The reason for 8 spaces for tabs is so that you immediately notice when tabs have been inserted unintentionally - such as when copying and pasting from example code that uses tabs instead of spaces.

fatal: does not appear to be a git repository

I had a similar problem when using TFS 2017. I was not able to push or pull GIT repositories. Eventually I reinstalled TFS 2017, making sure that I installed TFS 2017 with an SSH Port different from 22 (in my case, I chose 8022). After that, push and pull became possible against TFS using SSH.

Bat file to run a .exe at the command prompt

What's stopping you?

Put this command in a text file, save it with the .bat (or .cmd) extension and double click on it...

Presuming the command executes on your system, I think that's it.

mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp

Opsss. after I change user to 'admin', it doesn't have privelege to add database.. so I change back the user to 'root'.

Then I change the password from the browser.

  1. Go to http://localhost/security/ and then click on the link http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php . After that change pasword for superuser to 'root'.

  2. After that open your http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

    Now it works.

React-router urls don't work when refreshing or writing manually

As I am using .Net Core MVC something like this helped me:

    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            var url = Request.Path + Request.QueryString;
            return App(url);
        }

        [Route("App")]
        public IActionResult App(string url)
        {
            return View("/wwwroot/app/build/index.html");
        }
   }

Basically in MVC side, all the routes not matching will fall into to Home/Index as it specified in startup.cs. Inside Index it is possible to get the original request url and pass it wherever needed.

startup.cs

        app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "default",
                template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

            routes.MapSpaFallbackRoute(
                name: "spa-fallback",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
        });

Simple way to convert datarow array to datatable

Another way is to use a DataView

// Create a DataTable
DataTable table = new DataTable()
...

// Filter and Sort expressions
string expression = "[Birth Year] >= 1983"; 
string sortOrder = "[Birth Year] ASC";

// Create a DataView using the table as its source and the filter and sort expressions
DataView dv = new DataView(table, expression, sortOrder, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);

// Convert the DataView to a DataTable
DataTable new_table = dv.ToTable("NewTableName");

Python Requests - No connection adapters

You need to include the protocol scheme:

'http://192.168.1.61:8080/api/call'

Without the http:// part, requests has no idea how to connect to the remote server.

Note that the protocol scheme must be all lowercase; if your URL starts with HTTP:// for example, it won’t find the http:// connection adapter either.

ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count - 8 what does it mean?

BernardSaucier has already given you an answer. My post is not an answer but an explanation as to why you shouldn't be using UsedRange.

UsedRange is highly unreliable as shown HERE

To find the last column which has data, use .Find and then subtract from it.

With Sheets("Sheet1")
    If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Cells) <> 0 Then
        lastCol = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
                      After:=.Range("A1"), _
                      Lookat:=xlPart, _
                      LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
                      SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
                      SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
                      MatchCase:=False).Column
    Else
        lastCol = 1
    End If
End With

If lastCol > 8 Then
    'Debug.Print ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count - 8

    'The above becomes

    Debug.Print lastCol - 8
End If

How to select only 1 row from oracle sql?

row_number() over (order by user) user_rank, 
row_number() over (partition by dept order by user) user_dept_rank 
from users 
) a 
where a.user_rank = 1 or user_dept_rank = 2

in scenarios where you want different subsets, but I guess you could also use RANK() But, I also like row_number() over(...) since no grouping is required.

Generate table relationship diagram from existing schema (SQL Server)

SchemaCrawler for SQL Server can generate database diagrams, with the help of GraphViz. Foreign key relationships are displayed (and can even be inferred, using naming conventions), and tables and columns can be excluded using regular expressions.

How to fix "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized"

I stumbled in the same problem while working on a web api Asp Net Core project. I followed the suggestion to change the reference in my code to:

ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NameOfTheConnectionString"].ConnectionString

but adding the reference to System.Configuration.dll caused the error "Reference not valid or not supported".

Configuration manager error

To fix the problem I had to download the package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager using NuGet (Tools -> Nuget Package-> Manage Nuget packages for the solution)

OnItemCLickListener not working in listview

The thing that worked for me was to add the below code to every subview inside the layout of my row.xml file:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

So in my case:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">


    <TextView
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:id="@+id/testingId"
        android:text="Name"
       //other stuff 
        />

    <TextView
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:id="@+id/dummyId"
        android:text="icon"
        //other stuff 
        />

    <TextView
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:id="@+id/assignmentColor"
       //other stuff 
       />

    <TextView
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:id="@+id/testID"
        //other stuff 
        />

    <TextView
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:text="TextView"
        //other stuff 
        />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

And this is my setOnItemClickListener call in my Fragment subclass:

CustomListView = (PullToRefreshListCustomView) layout.findViewById(getListResourceID());
        CustomListView.setAdapter(customAdapter);
        CustomListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                Log.d("Testing", "onitem click working");
              //  other code
            }

        });

How to find topmost view controller on iOS

Swift:

extension UIWindow {

func visibleViewController() -> UIViewController? {
    if let rootViewController: UIViewController  = self.rootViewController {
        return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(rootViewController)
    }
    return nil
}

class func getVisibleViewControllerFrom(vc:UIViewController) -> UIViewController {
if vc.isKindOfClass(UINavigationController.self) {

    let navigationController = vc as UINavigationController
    return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom( navigationController.visibleViewController)

} else if vc.isKindOfClass(UITabBarController.self) {

    let tabBarController = vc as UITabBarController
    return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(tabBarController.selectedViewController!)

} else {

    if let presentedViewController = vc.presentedViewController {

        return UIWindow.getVisibleViewControllerFrom(presentedViewController.presentedViewController!)

    } else {

        return vc;
    }
}
}

Usage:

 if let topController = window.visibleViewController() {
            println(topController)
        }

Python 3: EOF when reading a line (Sublime Text 2 is angry)

It seems as of now, the only solution is still to install SublimeREPL.

To extend on Raghav's answer, it can be quite annoying to have to go into the Tools->SublimeREPL->Python->Run command every time you want to run a script with input, so I devised a quick key binding that may be handy:

To enable it, go to Preferences->Key Bindings - User, and copy this in there:

[
    {"keys":["ctrl+r"] , 
    "caption": "SublimeREPL: Python - RUN current file",
    "command": "run_existing_window_command", 
    "args":
        {
            "id": "repl_python_run",
            "file": "config/Python/Main.sublime-menu"
        }
    },
]

Naturally, you would just have to change the "keys" argument to change the shortcut to whatever you'd like.

MySQL match() against() - order by relevance and column?

Just adding for who might need.. Don't forget to alter the table!

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD FULLTEXT(column_name);

Creating an abstract class in Objective-C

(more of a related suggestion)

I wanted to have a way of letting the programmer know "do not call from child" and to override completely (in my case still offer some default functionality on behalf of the parent when not extended):

typedef void override_void;
typedef id override_id;

@implementation myBaseClass

// some limited default behavior (undesired by subclasses)
- (override_void) doSomething;
- (override_id) makeSomeObject;

// some internally required default behavior
- (void) doesSomethingImportant;

@end

The advantage is that the programmer will SEE the "override" in the declaration and will know they should not be calling [super ..].

Granted, it is ugly having to define individual return types for this, but it serves as a good enough visual hint and you can easily not use the "override_" part in a subclass definition.

Of course a class can still have a default implementation when an extension is optional. But like the other answers say, implement a run-time exception when appropriate, like for abstract (virtual) classes.

It would be nice to have built in compiler hints like this one, even hints for when it is best to pre/post call the super's implement, instead of having to dig through comments/documentation or... assume.

Get changes from master into branch in Git

You have a couple options. git rebase master aqonto the branch which will keep the commit names, but DO NOT REBASE if this is a remote branch. You can git merge master aq if you don't care about keeping the commit names. If you want to keep the commit names and it is a remote branch git cherry-pick <commit hash> the commits onto your branch.

Can't build create-react-app project with custom PUBLIC_URL

You may use this variable to force assets to be referenced verbatim to the url you provide (hostname included). This may be particularly useful when using a CDN to host your application.

How to wait for a number of threads to complete?

Create the thread object inside the first for loop.

for (int i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
     threads[i] = new Thread(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
             // some code to run in parallel
         }
     });
     threads[i].start();
 }

And then so what everyone here is saying.

for(i = 0; i < threads.length; i++)
  threads[i].join();

Mixing C# & VB In The Same Project

Walkthrough: Using Multiple Programming Languages in a Web Site Project http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366714.aspx

By default, the App_Code folder does not allow multiple programming languages. However, in a Web site project you can modify your folder structure and configuration settings to support multiple programming languages such as Visual Basic and C#. This allows ASP.NET to create multiple assemblies, one for each language. For more information, see Shared Code Folders in ASP.NET Web Projects. Developers commonly include multiple programming languages in Web applications to support multiple development teams that operate independently and prefer different programming languages.

Xampp MySQL not starting - "Attempting to start MySQL service..."

How to get response from S3 getObject in Node.js?

Alternatively you could use minio-js client library get-object.js

var Minio = require('minio')

var s3Client = new Minio({
  endPoint: 's3.amazonaws.com',
  accessKey: 'YOUR-ACCESSKEYID',
  secretKey: 'YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY'
})

var size = 0
// Get a full object.
s3Client.getObject('my-bucketname', 'my-objectname', function(e, dataStream) {
  if (e) {
    return console.log(e)
  }
  dataStream.on('data', function(chunk) {
    size += chunk.length
  })
  dataStream.on('end', function() {
    console.log("End. Total size = " + size)
  })
  dataStream.on('error', function(e) {
    console.log(e)
  })
})

Disclaimer: I work for Minio Its open source, S3 compatible object storage written in golang with client libraries available in Java, Python, Js, golang.

Ajax passing data to php script

You are sending a POST AJAX request so use $albumname = $_POST['album']; on your server to fetch the value. Also I would recommend you writing the request like this in order to ensure proper encoding:

$.ajax({  
    type: 'POST',  
    url: 'test.php', 
    data: { album: this.title },
    success: function(response) {
        content.html(response);
    }
});

or in its shorter form:

$.post('test.php', { album: this.title }, function() {
    content.html(response);
});

and if you wanted to use a GET request:

$.ajax({  
    type: 'GET',
    url: 'test.php', 
    data: { album: this.title },
    success: function(response) {
        content.html(response);
    }
});

or in its shorter form:

$.get('test.php', { album: this.title }, function() {
    content.html(response);
});

and now on your server you wil be able to use $albumname = $_GET['album'];. Be careful though with AJAX GET requests as they might be cached by some browsers. To avoid caching them you could set the cache: false setting.

path.join vs path.resolve with __dirname

From the doc for path.resolve:

The resulting path is normalized and trailing slashes are removed unless the path is resolved to the root directory.

But path.join keeps trailing slashes

So

__dirname = '/';
path.resolve(__dirname, 'foo/'); // '/foo'
path.join(__dirname, 'foo/'); // '/foo/'

In Python, how do you convert a `datetime` object to seconds?

Python provides operation on datetime to compute the difference between two date. In your case that would be:

t - datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)

The value returned is a timedelta object from which you can use the member function total_seconds to get the value in seconds.

(t - datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)).total_seconds()

How to change the bootstrap primary color?

Update 2020 for Bootstrap 4

To change the primary, or any of the theme colors in Bootstrap 4 SASS, set the appropriate variables before importing bootstrap.scss. This allows your custom scss to override the !default values...

$primary: purple;
$danger: red;

@import "bootstrap";

Demo: https://codeply.com/go/f5OmhIdre3


In some cases, you may want to set a new color from another existing Bootstrap variable. For this @import the functions and variables first so they can be referenced in the customizations...

/* import the necessary Bootstrap files */
@import "bootstrap/functions";
@import "bootstrap/variables";

$theme-colors: (
  primary: $purple
);

/* finally, import Bootstrap */
@import "bootstrap";

Demo: https://codeply.com/go/lobGxGgfZE


Also see: this answer, this answer or changing the button color in (CSS or SASS)


It's also possible to change the primary color with CSS only but it requires a lot of additional CSS since there are many -primary variations (btn-primary, alert-primary, bg-primary, text-primary, table-primary, border-primary, etc...) and some of these classes have slight colors variations on borders, hover, and active states. Therefore, if you must use CSS it's better to use target one component such as changing the primary button color.

These solutions will also work for Bootstrap 5 alpha

Python if not == vs if !=

              6 COMPARE_OP               2 (==)
              9 UNARY_NOT
             10 POP_TOP
             11 LOAD_CONST               2 (None)
             14 RETURN_VALUE
>>> dis(compile('10 != 20', '', 'exec'))
  1           0 LOAD_CONST               0 (10)
              3 LOAD_CONST               1 (20)
              6 COMPARE_OP               3 (!=)
              9 POP_TOP
             10 LOAD_CONST               2 (None)
             13 RETURN_VALUE

Here you can see that not x == y has one more instruction than x != y. So the performance difference will be very small in most cases unless you are doing millions of comparisons and even then this will likely not be the cause of a bottleneck.

How can I count the numbers of rows that a MySQL query returned?

The basics

To get the number of matching rows in SQL you would usually use COUNT(*). For example:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM some_table

To get that in value in PHP you need to fetch the value from the first column in the first row of the returned result. An example using PDO and mysqli is demonstrated below.

However, if you want to fetch the results and then still know how many records you fetched using PHP, you could use count() or avail of the pre-populated count in the result object if your DB API offers it e.g. mysqli's num_rows.

Using MySQLi

Using mysqli you can fetch the first row using fetch_row() and then access the 0 column, which should contain the value of COUNT(*).

// your connection code
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new \mysqli('localhost', 'dbuser', 'yourdbpassword', 'db_name');
$mysqli->set_charset('utf8mb4');

// your SQL statement
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM some_table WHERE col1=?');
$stmt->bind_param('s', $someVariable);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

// now fetch 1st column of the 1st row 
$count = $result->fetch_row()[0];

echo $count;

If you want to fetch all the rows, but still know the number of rows then you can use num_rows or count().

// your SQL statement
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare('SELECT col1, col2 FROM some_table WHERE col1=?');
$stmt->bind_param('s', $someVariable);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

// If you want to use the results, but still know how many records were fetched
$rows = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);

echo $result->num_rows;
// or
echo count($rows);

Using PDO

Using PDO is much simpler. You can directly call fetchColumn() on the statement to get a single column value.

// your connection code
$pdo = new \PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test;charset=utf8mb4', 'root', '', [
    \PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
    \PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
]);

// your SQL statement
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM some_table WHERE col1=?');
$stmt->execute([
    $someVariable
]);

// Fetch the first column of the first row
$count = $stmt->fetchColumn();

echo $count;

Again, if you need to fetch all the rows anyway, then you can get it using count() function.

// your SQL statement
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT col1, col2 FROM some_table WHERE col1=?');
$stmt->execute([
    $someVariable
]);

// If you want to use the results, but still know how many records were fetched
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll();

echo count($rows);

PDO's statement doesn't offer pre-computed property with the number of rows fetched, but it has a method called rowCount(). This method can tell you the number of rows returned in the result, but it cannot be relied upon and it is generally not recommended to use.

This fixed my problem.. All I needed to do was to downgrade my google-services plugin in buildscript in the build.gradle(Project) level file as follows

buildscript{
     dependencies {
        // From =>
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
        // To =>
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
        // Add dependency
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.1'
    }
}

How to delete a module in Android Studio

As I saw that in Android Studio 0.5.1, you have to close your project by doing simply File -> Close Project then move your mouse over the project which you want to delete then keep your mouse on the same project and press delete then click on "OK" button that would delete your project from Android Studio.

Delete files or folder recursively on Windows CMD

Use the Windows rmdir command

That is, rmdir /S /Q C:\Temp

I'm also using the ones below for some years now, flawlessly.

Check out other options with: forfiles /?

Delete SQM/Telemetry in windows folder recursively

forfiles /p %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogFiles /s /m *.* /d -1 /c "cmd /c del @file"

Delete windows TMP files recursively

forfiles /p %SYSTEMROOT%\Temp /s /m *.* /d -1 /c "cmd /c del @file"

Delete user TEMP files and folders recursively

forfiles /p %TMP% /s /m *.* /d -1 /c "cmd /c del @file"

What is the meaning of {...this.props} in Reactjs

You will use props in your child component

for example

if your now component props is

{
   booking: 4,
   isDisable: false
}

you can use this props in your child compoenet

 <div {...this.props}> ... </div>

in you child component, you will receive all your parent props.

Difference between FetchType LAZY and EAGER in Java Persistence API?

public enum FetchType extends java.lang.Enum Defines strategies for fetching data from the database. The EAGER strategy is a requirement on the persistence provider runtime that data must be eagerly fetched. The LAZY strategy is a hint to the persistence provider runtime that data should be fetched lazily when it is first accessed. The implementation is permitted to eagerly fetch data for which the LAZY strategy hint has been specified. Example: @Basic(fetch=LAZY) protected String getName() { return name; }

Font-awesome, input type 'submit'

use button type="submit" instead of input

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">
    <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right fa-lg"></i> Next
</button>

for Font Awesome 3.2.0 use

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">
    <i class="icon-circle-arrow-right icon-large"></i> Next

How to set Status Bar Style in Swift 3

using WebkitView

Swift 9.3 iOS 11.3

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate, WKUIDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!
    var hideStatusBar = true

    override func loadView() {
        let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration)
        webView.uiDelegate = self
        view = webView
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
        let myURL = URL(string: "https://www.apple.com/")
        let myRequest = URLRequest(url: myURL!)
        UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

         webView.load(myRequest)

    }
}

extension UIApplication {

    var statusBarView: UIView? {
        return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
    }

Passing multiple argument through CommandArgument of Button in Asp.net

If you want to pass two values, you can use this approach

<asp:LinkButton ID="RemoveFroRole" Text="Remove From Role" runat="server"
CommandName='<%# Eval("UserName") %>' CommandArgument='<%# Eval("RoleName") %>'
 OnClick="RemoveFromRole_Click" />

Basically I am treating {CommmandName,CommandArgument} as key value. Set both from database field. You will have to use OnClick event and use OnCommand event in this case, which I think is more clean code.

Converting any object to a byte array in java

What you want to do is called "serialization". There are several ways of doing it, but if you don't need anything fancy I think using the standard Java object serialization would do just fine.

Perhaps you could use something like this?

package com.example;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;

public class Serializer {

    public static byte[] serialize(Object obj) throws IOException {
        try(ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream()){
            try(ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream(b)){
                o.writeObject(obj);
            }
            return b.toByteArray();
        }
    }

    public static Object deserialize(byte[] bytes) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        try(ByteArrayInputStream b = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes)){
            try(ObjectInputStream o = new ObjectInputStream(b)){
                return o.readObject();
            }
        }
    }

}

There are several improvements to this that can be done. Not in the least the fact that you can only read/write one object per byte array, which might or might not be what you want.

Note that "Only objects that support the java.io.Serializable interface can be written to streams" (see java.io.ObjectOutputStream).

Since you might run into it, the continuous allocation and resizing of the java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream might turn out to be quite the bottle neck. Depending on your threading model you might want to consider reusing some of the objects.

For serialization of objects that do not implement the Serializable interface you either need to write your own serializer, for example using the read*/write* methods of java.io.DataOutputStream and the get*/put* methods of java.nio.ByteBuffer perhaps together with reflection, or pull in a third party dependency.

This site has a list and performance comparison of some serialization frameworks. Looking at the APIs it seems Kryo might fit what you need.
