Programs & Examples On #Dos2unix

About dos2unix conversion program

How can I run dos2unix on an entire directory?

For any Solaris users (am using 5.10, may apply to newer versions too, as well as other unix systems):

dos2unix doesn't default to overwriting the file, it will just print the updated version to stdout, so you will have to specify the source and target, i.e. the same name twice:

find . -type f -exec dos2unix {} {} \;

Convert line endings

Doing this with POSIX is tricky:

  • POSIX Sed does not support \r or \15. Even if it did, the in place option -i is not POSIX

  • POSIX Awk does support \r and \15, however the -i inplace option is not POSIX

  • d2u and dos2unix are not POSIX utilities, but ex is

  • POSIX ex does not support \r, \15, \n or \12

To remove carriage returns:

awk 'BEGIN{RS="^$";ORS="";getline;gsub("\r","");print>ARGV[1]}' file

To add carriage returns:

awk 'BEGIN{RS="^$";ORS="";getline;gsub("\n","\r&");print>ARGV[1]}' file

Convert DOS line endings to Linux line endings in Vim

You can use the following command:
:%s/^V^M//g
where the '^' means use CTRL key.

Python read next()

You don't need to read the next line, you are iterating through the lines. lines is a list (an array), and for line in lines is iterating over it. Every time you are finished with one you move onto the next line. If you want to skip to the next line just continue out of the current loop.

filne = "D:/testtube/testdkanimfilternode.txt"
f = open(filne, 'r+')

lines = f.readlines() # get all lines as a list (array)

# Iterate over each line, printing each line and then move to the next
for line in lines:
    print line

f.close()

Automatic Preferred Max Layout Width is not available on iOS versions prior to 8.0

For some reason, even if changing the iOS Deployment Target to 8.0 or higher, the Xib files don't adopt that change and remain with the previous settings in the File inspector

File inspector in the Xib after changing the iOS Deployment target

Therefore, you should change it manually for each Xib Afther the manual change

Bootstrap modal in React.js

I've only used bootstrap cdn (css + js) to achieve "reactstrap" like solution. I've used props.children to pass dynamic data from parent to child components. You can find more about this here. In this way you have three separate components modal header, modal body and modal footer and they are totally independent from each other.


//Modal component
import React, { Component } from 'react';

export const ModalHeader = props => {
  return <div className="modal-header">{props.children}</div>;
};

export const ModalBody = props => {
  return <div className="modal-body">{props.children}</div>;
};

export const ModalFooter = props => {
  return <div className="modal-footer">{props.children}</div>;
};

class Modal extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      modalShow: '',
      display: 'none'
    };
    this.openModal = this.openModal.bind(this);
    this.closeModal = this.closeModal.bind(this);
  }

  openModal() {
    this.setState({
      modalShow: 'show',
      display: 'block'
    });
  }

  closeModal() {
    this.setState({
      modalShow: '',
      display: 'none'
    });
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.isOpen ? this.openModal() : this.closeModal();
  }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    if (prevProps.isOpen !== this.props.isOpen) {
      this.props.isOpen ? this.openModal() : this.closeModal();
    }
  }

How to format JSON in notepad++

The answer was to install the plugin individually. I installed all the three plugins shown in the screenshot together. And it created the issue. I had to install each plugin individually and then it worked fine. I am able to format the JSON string.

Reminder - \r\n or \n\r?

I'd use the word 'return' to remember, the r comes before the n.

Uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError)

I have faced this problem in many occassions when I try to start an old rails 2.3.5 project after having worked with rails 3>. In my case to solve the problem, I must do a rubygems update to version 1.4.2, this is:

sudo gem update --system 1.4.2

C++11 thread-safe queue

It is best to make the condition (monitored by your condition variable) the inverse condition of a while-loop: while(!some_condition). Inside this loop, you go to sleep if your condition fails, triggering the body of the loop.

This way, if your thread is awoken--possibly spuriously--your loop will still check the condition before proceeding. Think of the condition as the state of interest, and think of the condition variable as more of a signal from the system that this state might be ready. The loop will do the heavy lifting of actually confirming that it's true, and going to sleep if it's not.

I just wrote a template for an async queue, hope this helps. Here, q.empty() is the inverse condition of what we want: for the queue to have something in it. So it serves as the check for the while loop.

#ifndef SAFE_QUEUE
#define SAFE_QUEUE

#include <queue>
#include <mutex>
#include <condition_variable>

// A threadsafe-queue.
template <class T>
class SafeQueue
{
public:
  SafeQueue(void)
    : q()
    , m()
    , c()
  {}

  ~SafeQueue(void)
  {}

  // Add an element to the queue.
  void enqueue(T t)
  {
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(m);
    q.push(t);
    c.notify_one();
  }

  // Get the "front"-element.
  // If the queue is empty, wait till a element is avaiable.
  T dequeue(void)
  {
    std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m);
    while(q.empty())
    {
      // release lock as long as the wait and reaquire it afterwards.
      c.wait(lock);
    }
    T val = q.front();
    q.pop();
    return val;
  }

private:
  std::queue<T> q;
  mutable std::mutex m;
  std::condition_variable c;
};

"google is not defined" when using Google Maps V3 in Firefox remotely

Another suggestion that helped me:

Here is what happent to me => My script was working once in 3 time I was loading the page and the error was the «google is not defined».

My function using the google map was in my jQuery document's ready function

$(function(){
   //Here was my logic
})

I simply added this code to make sure it works:

$(function(){
   $(window).load(function(){
       //Here is my logic now
   });
});

It works like a charm. If you want more details on difference between document ready and window load, here is a great post about it: window.onload vs $(document).ready()

The ready event occurs after the HTML document has been loaded, while the onload event occurs later, when all content (e.g. images) also has been loaded.

The onload event is a standard event in the DOM, while the ready event is specific to jQuery. The purpose of the ready event is that it should occur as early as possible after the document has loaded, so that code that adds functionality to the elements in the page doesn't have to wait for all content to load.

how to set the background color of the whole page in css

Looks to me like you need to set the yellow on #doc3 and then get rid of the white that is called out on the #yui-main (which is covering up the color of the #doc3). This gets you yellow between header and footer.

Run task only if host does not belong to a group

Here's another way to do this:

- name: my command
  command: echo stuff
  when: "'groupname' not in group_names"

group_names is a magic variable as documented here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#accessing-information-about-other-hosts-with-magic-variables :

group_names is a list (array) of all the groups the current host is in.

Field 'id' doesn't have a default value?

This is caused by MySQL having a strict mode set which won’t allow INSERT or UPDATE commands with empty fields where the schema doesn’t have a default value set.

There are a couple of fixes for this.

First ‘fix’ is to assign a default value to your schema. This can be done with a simple ALTER command:

ALTER TABLE `details` CHANGE COLUMN `delivery_address_id` `delivery_address_id` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 ;

However, this may need doing for many tables in your database schema which will become tedious very quickly. The second fix is to remove sql_mode STRICT_TRANS_TABLES on the mysql server.

If you are using a brew installed MySQL you should edit the my.cnf file in the MySQL directory. Change the sql_mode at the bottom:

#sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Save the file and restart Mysql.

What exactly is \r in C language?

'\r' is the carriage return character. The main times it would be useful are:

  1. When reading text in binary mode, or which may come from a foreign OS, you'll find (and probably want to discard) it due to CR/LF line-endings from Windows-format text files.

  2. When writing to an interactive terminal on stdout or stderr, '\r' can be used to move the cursor back to the beginning of the line, to overwrite it with new contents. This makes a nice primitive progress indicator.

The example code in your post is definitely a wrong way to use '\r'. It assumes a carriage return will precede the newline character at the end of a line entered, which is non-portable and only true on Windows. Instead the code should look for '\n' (newline), and discard any carriage return it finds before the newline. Or, it could use text mode and have the C library handle the translation (but text mode is ugly and probably should not be used).

Syntax behind sorted(key=lambda: ...)

I think all of the answers here cover the core of what the lambda function does in the context of sorted() quite nicely, however I still feel like a description that leads to an intuitive understanding is lacking, so here is my two cents.

For the sake of completeness, I'll state the obvious up front: sorted() returns a list of sorted elements and if we want to sort in a particular way or if we want to sort a complex list of elements (e.g. nested lists or a list of tuples) we can invoke the key argument.

For me, the intuitive understanding of the key argument, why it has to be callable, and the use of lambda as the (anonymous) callable function to accomplish this comes in two parts.

  1. Using lamba ultimately means you don't have to write (define) an entire function, like the one sblom provided an example of. Lambda functions are created, used, and immediately destroyed - so they don't funk up your code with more code that will only ever be used once. This, as I understand it, is the core utility of the lambda function and its applications for such roles are broad. Its syntax is purely by convention, which is in essence the nature of programmatic syntax in general. Learn the syntax and be done with it.

Lambda syntax is as follows:

lambda input_variable(s): tasty one liner

e.g.

In [1]: f00 = lambda x: x/2

In [2]: f00(10)
Out[2]: 5.0

In [3]: (lambda x: x/2)(10)
Out[3]: 5.0

In [4]: (lambda x, y: x / y)(10, 2)
Out[4]: 5.0

In [5]: (lambda: 'amazing lambda')() # func with no args!
Out[5]: 'amazing lambda'
  1. The idea behind the key argument is that it should take in a set of instructions that will essentially point the 'sorted()' function at those list elements which should used to sort by. When it says key=, what it really means is: As I iterate through the list one element at a time (i.e. for e in list), I'm going to pass the current element to the function I provide in the key argument and use that to create a transformed list which will inform me on the order of final sorted list.

Check it out:

mylist = [3,6,3,2,4,8,23]
sorted(mylist, key=WhatToSortBy)

Base example:

sorted(mylist)

[2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 8, 23] # all numbers are in order from small to large.

Example 1:

mylist = [3,6,3,2,4,8,23]
sorted(mylist, key=lambda x: x%2==0)

[3, 3, 23, 6, 2, 4, 8] # Does this sorted result make intuitive sense to you?

Notice that my lambda function told sorted to check if (e) was even or odd before sorting.

BUT WAIT! You may (or perhaps should) be wondering two things - first, why are my odds coming before my evens (since my key value seems to be telling my sorted function to prioritize evens by using the mod operator in x%2==0). Second, why are my evens out of order? 2 comes before 6 right? By analyzing this result, we'll learn something deeper about how the sorted() 'key' argument works, especially in conjunction with the anonymous lambda function.

Firstly, you'll notice that while the odds come before the evens, the evens themselves are not sorted. Why is this?? Lets read the docs:

Key Functions Starting with Python 2.4, both list.sort() and sorted() added a key parameter to specify a function to be called on each list element prior to making comparisons.

We have to do a little bit of reading between the lines here, but what this tells us is that the sort function is only called once, and if we specify the key argument, then we sort by the value that key function points us to.

So what does the example using a modulo return? A boolean value: True == 1, False == 0. So how does sorted deal with this key? It basically transforms the original list to a sequence of 1s and 0s.

[3,6,3,2,4,8,23] becomes [0,1,0,1,1,1,0]

Now we're getting somewhere. What do you get when you sort the transformed list?

[0,0,0,1,1,1,1]

Okay, so now we know why the odds come before the evens. But the next question is: Why does the 6 still come before the 2 in my final list? Well that's easy - its because sorting only happens once! i.e. Those 1s still represent the original list values, which are in their original positions relative to each other. Since sorting only happens once, and we don't call any kind of sort function to order the original even values from low to high, those values remain in their original order relative to one another.

The final question is then this: How do I think conceptually about how the order of my boolean values get transformed back in to the original values when I print out the final sorted list?

Sorted() is a built-in method that (fun fact) uses a hybrid sorting algorithm called Timsort that combines aspects of merge sort and insertion sort. It seems clear to me that when you call it, there is a mechanic that holds these values in memory and bundles them with their boolean identity (mask) determined by (...!) the lambda function. The order is determined by their boolean identity calculated from the lambda function, but keep in mind that these sublists (of one's and zeros) are not themselves sorted by their original values. Hence, the final list, while organized by Odds and Evens, is not sorted by sublist (the evens in this case are out of order). The fact that the odds are ordered is because they were already in order by coincidence in the original list. The takeaway from all this is that when lambda does that transformation, the original order of the sublists are retained.

So how does this all relate back to the original question, and more importantly, our intuition on how we should implement sorted() with its key argument and lambda?

That lambda function can be thought of as a pointer that points to the values we need to sort by, whether its a pointer mapping a value to its boolean transformed by the lambda function, or if its a particular element in a nested list, tuple, dict, etc., again determined by the lambda function.

Lets try and predict what happens when I run the following code.

mylist = [(3, 5, 8), (6, 2, 8), ( 2, 9, 4), (6, 8, 5)]
sorted(mylist, key=lambda x: x[1])

My sorted call obviously says, "Please sort this list". The key argument makes that a little more specific by saying, for each element (x) in mylist, return index 1 of that element, then sort all of the elements of the original list 'mylist' by the sorted order of the list calculated by the lambda function. Since we have a list of tuples, we can return an indexed element from that tuple. So we get:

[(6, 2, 8), (3, 5, 8), (6, 8, 5), (2, 9, 4)]

Run that code, and you'll find that this is the order. Try indexing a list of integers and you'll find that the code breaks.

This was a long winded explanation, but I hope this helps to 'sort' your intuition on the use of lambda functions as the key argument in sorted() and beyond.

How to create a new instance from a class object in Python

Just call the "type" built in using three parameters, like this:

ClassName = type("ClassName", (Base1, Base2,...), classdictionary)

update as stated in the comment bellow this is not the answer to this question at all. I will keep it undeleted, since there are hints some people get here trying to dynamically create classes - which is what the line above does.

To create an object of a class one has a reference too, as put in the accepted answer, one just have to call the class:

instance = ClassObject()

The mechanism for instantiation is thus:

Python does not use the new keyword some languages use - instead it's data model explains the mechanism used to create an instantance of a class when it is called with the same syntax as any other callable:

Its class' __call__ method is invoked (in the case of a class, its class is the "metaclass" - which is usually the built-in type). The normal behavior of this call is to invoke the (pseudo) static __new__ method on the class being instantiated, followed by its __init__. The __new__ method is responsible for allocating memory and such, and normally is done by the __new__ of object which is the class hierarchy root.

So calling ClassObject() invokes ClassObject.__class__.call() (which normally will be type.__call__) this __call__ method will receive ClassObject itself as the first parameter - a Pure Python implementation would be like this: (the cPython version is of course, done in C, and with lots of extra code for cornercases and optimizations)

class type:
    ...
    def __call__(cls, *args, **kw):
          constructor = getattr(cls, "__new__")
          instance = constructor(cls) if constructor is object.__new__ else constructor(cls, *args, **kw)
          instance.__init__(cls, *args, **kw)
          return instance

(I don't recall seeing on the docs the exact justification (or mechanism) for suppressing extra parameters to the root __new__ and passing it to other classes - but it is what happen "in real life" - if object.__new__ is called with any extra parameters it raises a type error - however, any custom implementation of a __new__ will get the extra parameters normally)

Visual Studio Code compile on save

If pressing Ctrl+Shift+B seems like a lot of effort, you can switch on "Auto Save" (File > Auto Save) and use NodeJS to watch all the files in your project, and run TSC automatically.

Open a Node.JS command prompt, change directory to your project root folder and type the following;

tsc -w

And hey presto, each time VS Code auto saves the file, TSC will recompile it.

This technique is mentioned in a blog post;

http://www.typescriptguy.com/getting-started/angularjs-typescript/

How to convert 1 to true or 0 to false upon model fetch

Assigning Comparison to property value

JavaScript

You could assign the comparison of the property to "1"

obj["isChecked"] = (obj["isChecked"]==="1");

This only evaluates for a String value of "1" though. Other variables evaulate to false like an actual typeof number would be false. (i.e. obj["isChecked"]=1)

If you wanted to be indiscrimate about "1" or 1, you could use:

obj["isChecked"] = (obj["isChecked"]=="1");

Example Outputs

console.log(obj["isChecked"]==="1"); // true
console.log(obj["isChecked"]===1); // false
console.log(obj["isChecked"]==1); // true
console.log(obj["isChecked"]==="0"); // false
console.log(obj["isChecked"]==="Elephant"); // false

PHP

Same concept in PHP

$obj["isChecked"] = ($obj["isChecked"] == "1");

The same operator limitations as stated above for JavaScript apply.

Double Not

The 'double not' also works. It's confusing when people first read it but it works in both languages for integer/number type values. It however does not work in JavaScript for string type values as they always evaluate to true:

JavaScript

!!"1"; //true
!!"0"; //true
!!1; //true
!!0; //false
!!parseInt("0",10); // false

PHP

echo !!"1"; //true
echo !!"0"; //false
echo !!1; //true
echo !!0; //false

Difference between Relative path and absolute path in javascript

I think this example will help you in understanding this more simply.

Path differences in Windows

Windows absolute path C:\Windows\calc.exe

Windows non absolute path (relative path) calc.exe

In the above example, the absolute path contains the full path to the file and not just the file as seen in the non absolute path. In this example, if you were in a directory that did not contain "calc.exe" you would get an error message. However, when using an absolute path you can be in any directory and the computer would know where to open the "calc.exe" file.

Path differences in Linux

Linux absolute path /home/users/c/computerhope/public_html/cgi-bin

Linux non absolute path (relative path) /public_html/cgi-bin

In these example, the absolute path contains the full path to the cgi-bin directory on that computer. How to find the absolute path of a file in Linux Since most users do not want to see the full path as their prompt, by default the prompt is relative to their personal directory as shown above. To find the full absolute path of the current directory use the pwd command.

It is a best practice to use relative file paths (if possible).

When using relative file paths, your web pages will not be bound to your current base URL. All links will work on your own computer (localhost) as well as on your current public domain and your future public domains.

}

(The test example is a command that lists all files in a directory and its subdirectories, recursively, in chronological order.)

By the way, if somebody can tell me why I need four and eight backslashes there, instead of two and four, I can learn something. There is one more level of unescaping happening than what I am counting.

Edit: Just tried this same code on Linux, and there it turns out that I need half as many backslashes in the test command! (That is: the expected number of two and four.) Now it's no longer just weird, it's a portability problem.

List vs tuple, when to use each?

There's a strong culture of tuples being for heterogeneous collections, similar to what you'd use structs for in C, and lists being for homogeneous collections, similar to what you'd use arrays for. But I've never quite squared this with the mutability issue mentioned in the other answers. Mutability has teeth to it (you actually can't change a tuple), while homogeneity is not enforced, and so seems to be a much less interesting distinction.

How to get Locale from its String representation in Java?

Since Java 7 there is factory method Locale.forLanguageTag and instance method Locale.toLanguageTag using IETF language tags.

cast or convert a float to nvarchar?

If you're storing phone numbers in a float typed column (which is a bad idea) then they are presumably all integers and could be cast to int before casting to nvarchar.

So instead of:

select cast(cast(1234567890 as float) as nvarchar(50))
1.23457e+009

You would use:

select cast(cast(cast(1234567890 as float) as int) as nvarchar(50))
1234567890

In these examples the innermost cast(1234567890 as float) is used in place of selecting a value from the appropriate column.

I really recommend that you not store phone numbers in floats though!
What if the phone number starts with a zero?

select cast(0100884555 as float)
100884555

Whoops! We just stored an incorrect phone number...

Create auto-numbering on images/figures in MS Word

I assume you are using the caption feature of Word, that is, captions were not typed in as normal text, but were inserted using Insert > Caption (Word versions before 2007), or References > Insert Caption (in the ribbon of Word 2007 and up). If done correctly, the captions are really 'fields'. You'll know if it is a field if the caption's background turns grey when you put your cursor on them (or is permanently displayed grey).

Captions are fields - Unfortunately fields (like caption fields) are only updated on specific actions, like opening of the document, printing, switching from print view to normal view, etc. The easiest way to force updating of all (caption) fields when you want it is by doing the following:

  1. Select all text in your document (easiest way is to press ctrl-a)
  2. Press F9, this command tells Word to update all fields in the selection.

Captions are normal text - If the caption number is not a field, I am afraid you'll have to edit the text manually.

Select a dummy column with a dummy value in SQL?

If you meant just ABC as simple value, answer above is the one that works fine.

If you meant concatenation of values of rows that are not selected by your main query, you will need to use a subquery.

Something like this may work:

SELECT t1.col1, 
t1.col2, 
(SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(col2 SEPARATOR '') FROM  Table1 t2 WHERE t2.col1 != 0) as col3 
FROM Table1 t1
WHERE t1.col1 = 0;

Actual syntax maybe a bit off though

Pandas count(distinct) equivalent

I believe this is what you want:

1           1     201301
2           2     201301
3           1     201302
4           2     201302
5           2     201302
6           3     201302

In [3]: table.groupby('YEARMONTH').CLIENTCODE.nunique()
Out[3]: 
YEARMONTH
201301       2
201302       3

How long would it take a non-programmer to learn C#, the .NET Framework, and SQL?

If you have any programming experience, you can probably learn the C# syntax in a few hours, and be comfortable with it within a week or so. However, you will not be writing complex structures unless you write a lot of code with it. It's really the same as learning any language: you can learn all the words and grammer fairly quickly, but it takes a while to be fluent.

EDIT

A book you may want to pick up for learning C# is C# in a Nutshell (3.0) which I found to be very useful, and has been recommended by several people here.

How, in general, does Node.js handle 10,000 concurrent requests?

Adding to slebetman's answer for more clarity on what happens while executing the code.

The internal thread pool in nodeJs just has 4 threads by default. and its not like the whole request is attached to a new thread from the thread pool the whole execution of request happens just like any normal request (without any blocking task) , just that whenever a request has any long running or a heavy operation like db call ,a file operation or a http request the task is queued to the internal thread pool which is provided by libuv. And as nodeJs provides 4 threads in internal thread pool by default every 5th or next concurrent request waits until a thread is free and once these operations are over the callback is pushed to the callback queue. and is picked up by event loop and sends back the response.

Now here comes another information that its not once single callback queue, there are many queues.

  1. NextTick queue
  2. Micro task queue
  3. Timers Queue
  4. IO callback queue (Requests, File ops, db ops)
  5. IO Poll queue
  6. Check Phase queue or SetImmediate
  7. close handlers queue

Whenever a request comes the code gets executing in this order of callbacks queued.

It is not like when there is a blocking request it is attached to a new thread. There are only 4 threads by default. So there is another queueing happening there.

Whenever in a code a blocking process like file read occurs , then calls a function which utilises thread from thread pool and then once the operation is done , the callback is passed to the respective queue and then executed in the order.

Everything gets queued based on the the type of callback and processed in the order mentioned above.

How to plot a 2D FFT in Matlab?

Assuming that I is your input image and F is its Fourier Transform (i.e. F = fft2(I))

You can use this code:

F = fftshift(F); % Center FFT

F = abs(F); % Get the magnitude
F = log(F+1); % Use log, for perceptual scaling, and +1 since log(0) is undefined
F = mat2gray(F); % Use mat2gray to scale the image between 0 and 1

imshow(F,[]); % Display the result

Transpose a range in VBA

Something like this should do it for you.

Sub CombineColumns1()
    Dim xRng As Range
    Dim i As Long, j As Integer
    Dim xNextRow As Long
    Dim xTxt As String
    On Error Resume Next
    With ActiveSheet
        xTxt = .RangeSelection.Address
        Set xRng = Application.InputBox("please select the data range", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
        If xRng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
        j = xRng.Columns(1).Column
        For i = 4 To xRng.Columns.Count Step 3
            'Need to recalculate the last row, as some of the final columns may not have data in all rows
            xNextRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, j).End(xlUp).Row + 1

            .Range(xRng.Cells(1, i), xRng.Cells(xRng.Rows.Count, i + 2)).Copy .Cells(xNextRow, j)
            .Range(xRng.Cells(1, i), xRng.Cells(xRng.Rows.Count, i + 2)).Clear
        Next
    End With
End Sub

You could do this too.

Sub TransposeFormulas()
    Dim vFormulas As Variant
    Dim oSel As Range
    If TypeName(Selection) <> "Range" Then
        MsgBox "Please select a range of cells first.", _
                vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Transpose formulas"
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Set oSel = Selection
    vFormulas = oSel.Formula
    vFormulas = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(vFormulas)
    oSel.Offset(oSel.Rows.Count + 2).Resize(oSel.Columns.Count, oSel.Rows.Count).Formula = vFormulas
End Sub

    Map<String, Integer> lMap=new HashMap<String, Integer>();


    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s, ",");
    while(st.hasMoreTokens())

PHP Remove elements from associative array

The way to do this to take your nested target array and copy it in single step to a non-nested array. Delete the key(s) and then assign the final trimmed array to the nested node of the earlier array. Here is a code to make it simple:

$temp_array = $list['resultset'][0];

unset($temp_array['badkey1']);
unset($temp_array['badkey2']);

$list['resultset'][0] = $temp_array;

Finding non-numeric rows in dataframe in pandas?

# Original code
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3, 'bad', 5],
                   'b': [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5],
                   'item': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']})
df = df.set_index('item')

Convert to numeric using 'coerce' which fills bad values with 'nan'

a = pd.to_numeric(df.a, errors='coerce')

Use isna to return a boolean index:

idx = a.isna()

Apply that index to the data frame:

df[idx]

output

Returns the row with the bad data in it:

        a    b
item          
d     bad  0.4

How to insert a new key value pair in array in php?

Convert iterator to pointer?

For example, my vector<int> foo contains (5,2,6,87,251). A function takes vector<int>* and I want to pass it a pointer to (2,6,87,251).

A pointer to a vector<int> is not at all the same thing as a pointer to the elements of the vector.

In order to do this you will need to create a new vector<int> with just the elements you want in it to pass a pointer to. Something like:

 vector<int> tempVector( foo.begin()+1, foo.end());

 // now you can pass &tempVector to your function

However, if your function takes a pointer to an array of int, then you can pass &foo[1].

Basic Ajax send/receive with node.js

I was facing following error with code (nodejs 0.10.13), provided by ampersand:

                 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*'});

How to stop a PowerShell script on the first error?

A slight modification to the answer from @alastairtree:

function Invoke-Call {
    param (
        [scriptblock]$ScriptBlock,
        [string]$ErrorAction = $ErrorActionPreference
    )
    & @ScriptBlock
    if (($lastexitcode -ne 0) -and $ErrorAction -eq "Stop") {
        exit $lastexitcode
    }
}

Invoke-Call -ScriptBlock { dotnet build . } -ErrorAction Stop

The key differences here are:

  1. it uses the Verb-Noun (mimicing Invoke-Command)
  2. implies that it uses the call operator under the covers
  3. mimics -ErrorAction behavior from built in cmdlets
  4. exits with same exit code rather than throwing exception with new message

How to find unused/dead code in java projects

I found Clover coverage tool which instruments code and highlights the code that is used and that is unused. Unlike Google CodePro Analytics, it also works for WebApplications (as per my experience and I may be incorrect about Google CodePro).

The only drawback that I noticed is that it does not takes Java interfaces into account.

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

}

jQuery document.createElement equivalent?

Here's your example in the "one" line.

this.$OuterDiv = $('<div></div>')
    .hide()
    .append($('<table></table>')
        .attr({ cellSpacing : 0 })
        .addClass("text")
    )
;

Update: I thought I'd update this post since it still gets quite a bit of traffic. In the comments below there's some discussion about $("<div>") vs $("<div></div>") vs $(document.createElement('div')) as a way of creating new elements, and which is "best".

I put together a small benchmark, and here are roughly the results of repeating the above options 100,000 times:

jQuery 1.4, 1.5, 1.6

               Chrome 11  Firefox 4   IE9
<div>            440ms      640ms    460ms
<div></div>      420ms      650ms    480ms
createElement    100ms      180ms    300ms

jQuery 1.3

                Chrome 11
<div>             770ms
<div></div>      3800ms
createElement     100ms

jQuery 1.2

                Chrome 11
<div>            3500ms
<div></div>      3500ms
createElement     100ms

I think it's no big surprise, but document.createElement is the fastest method. Of course, before you go off and start refactoring your entire codebase, remember that the differences we're talking about here (in all but the archaic versions of jQuery) equate to about an extra 3 milliseconds per thousand elements.


Update 2

Updated for jQuery 1.7.2 and put the benchmark on JSBen.ch which is probably a bit more scientific than my primitive benchmarks, plus it can be crowdsourced now!

How do I add a library project to Android Studio?

I added the newly imported module as a dependency to my main app module and that fixed the problem.

Convert array into csv

My solution requires the array be formatted differently than provided in the question:

<?
    $data = array(
        array( 'row_1_col_1', 'row_1_col_2', 'row_1_col_3' ),
        array( 'row_2_col_1', 'row_2_col_2', 'row_2_col_3' ),
        array( 'row_3_col_1', 'row_3_col_2', 'row_3_col_3' ),
    );
?>

We define our function:

<?
    function outputCSV($data) {
        $outputBuffer = fopen("php://output", 'w');
        foreach($data as $val) {
            fputcsv($outputBuffer, $val);
        }
        fclose($outputBuffer);
    }
?>

Then we output our data as a CSV:

<?
    $filename = "example";

    header("Content-type: text/csv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename={$filename}.csv");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    header("Expires: 0");

    outputCSV($data);
?>

I have used this with several projects, and it works well. I should note that the outputCSV code is more clever than I am, so I am sure I am not the original author. Unfortunately I have lost track of where I got it, so I can't give the credit to whom it is due.

How do you load custom UITableViewCells from Xib files?

Loading UITableViewCells from XIBs saves a lot of code, but usually results in horrible scrolling speed (actually, it's not the XIB but the excessive use of UIViews that cause this).

I suggest you take a look at this: Link reference

Try using this format

<figure>
   <img src="img" alt="The Pulpit Rock" width="304" height="228">

</figure>

This will give you a real caption (just add the 2nd and 3rd imgs using Float:left like others suggested)

Wipe data/Factory reset through ADB

After a lot of digging around I finally ended up downloading the source code of the recovery section of Android. Turns out you can actually send commands to the recovery.

 * The arguments which may be supplied in the recovery.command file:
 *   --send_intent=anystring - write the text out to recovery.intent
 *   --update_package=path - verify install an OTA package file
 *   --wipe_data - erase user data (and cache), then reboot
 *   --wipe_cache - wipe cache (but not user data), then reboot
 *   --set_encrypted_filesystem=on|off - enables / diasables encrypted fs

Those are the commands you can use according to the one I found but that might be different for modded files. So using adb you can do this:

adb shell
recovery --wipe_data

Using --wipe_data seemed to do what I was looking for which was handy although I have not fully tested this as of yet.

EDIT:

For anyone still using this topic, these commands may change based on which recovery you are using. If you are using Clockword recovery, these commands should still work. You can find other commands in /cache/recovery/command

For more information please see here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/cm-10.2/recovery.c

Deserialize json object into dynamic object using Json.net

Json.NET allows us to do this:

dynamic d = JObject.Parse("{number:1000, str:'string', array: [1,2,3,4,5,6]}");

Console.WriteLine(d.number);
Console.WriteLine(d.str);
Console.WriteLine(d.array.Count);

Output:

 1000
 string

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<AnonymousType#1>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<string>

IEnumerable<string> e = (from char c in source
                        select new { Data = c.ToString() }).Select(t = > t.Data);
// or
IEnumerable<string> e = from char c in source
                        select c.ToString();
// or
IEnumerable<string> e = source.Select(c = > c.ToString());

Then you can call ToList():

List<string> l = (from char c in source
                  select new { Data = c.ToString() }).Select(t = > t.Data).ToList();
// or
List<string> l = (from char c in source
                  select c.ToString()).ToList();
// or
List<string> l = source.Select(c = > c.ToString()).ToList();

Why is there no SortedList in Java?

JavaFX SortedList

Though it took a while, Java 8 does have a sorted List. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/collections/transformation/SortedList.html

As you can see in the javadocs, it is part of the JavaFX collections, intended to provide a sorted view on an ObservableList.

Update: Note that with Java 11, the JavaFX toolkit has moved outside the JDK and is now a separate library. JavaFX 11 is available as a downloadable SDK or from MavenCentral. See https://openjfx.io

Sending and Receiving SMS and MMS in Android (pre Kit Kat Android 4.4)

I had the exact same problem you describe above (Galaxy Nexus on t-mobile USA) it is because mobile data is turned off.

In Jelly Bean it is: Settings > Data Usage > mobile data

Note that I have to have mobile data turned on PRIOR to sending an MMS OR receiving one. If I receive an MMS with mobile data turned off, I will get the notification of a new message and I will receive the message with a download button. But if I do not have mobile data on prior, the incoming MMS attachment will not be received. Even if I turn it on after the message was received.

For some reason when your phone provider enables you with the ability to send and receive MMS you must have the Mobile Data enabled, even if you are using Wifi, if the Mobile Data is enabled you will be able to receive and send MMS, even if Wifi is showing as your internet on your device.

It is a real pain, as if you do not have it on, the message can hang a lot, even when turning on Mobile Data, and might require a reboot of the device.

Generating a WSDL from an XSD file

This tool xsd2wsdl part of the Apache CXF project which will generate a minimalist WSDL.

pros and cons between os.path.exists vs os.path.isdir

os.path.exists(path) Returns True if path refers to an existing path. An existing path can be regular files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_file_types#Regular_file), but also special files (e.g. a directory). So in essence this function returns true if the path provided exists in the filesystem in whatever form (notwithstanding a few exceptions such as broken symlinks).

os.path.isdir(path) in turn will only return true when the path points to a directory

No server in windows>preferences

I had the same issue. I was using eclipse platform and server was missing in my show view. To fix this go:

  • help>install new software

  • in work with : select : "Indigo Update Site - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/" , once selected, all available software will be displayed in the section under type filter text

  • Expand “Web, XML, and Java EE Development” and select "JST Server adapters extensions"

  • then click next and finish. The server should be displayed in show view

How can I create a correlation matrix in R?

The cor function will use the columns of the matrix in the calculation of correlation. So, the number of rows must be the same between your matrix x and matrix y. Ex.:

set.seed(1)
x <- matrix(rnorm(20), nrow=5, ncol=4)
y <- matrix(rnorm(15), nrow=5, ncol=3)
COR <- cor(x,y)
COR
image(x=seq(dim(x)[2]), y=seq(dim(y)[2]), z=COR, xlab="x column", ylab="y column")
text(expand.grid(x=seq(dim(x)[2]), y=seq(dim(y)[2])), labels=round(c(COR),2))

enter image description here

Edit:

Here is an example of custom row and column labels on a correlation matrix calculated with a single matrix:

png("corplot.png", width=5, height=5, units="in", res=200)
op <- par(mar=c(6,6,1,1), ps=10)
COR <- cor(iris[,1:4])
image(x=seq(nrow(COR)), y=seq(ncol(COR)), z=cor(iris[,1:4]), axes=F, xlab="", ylab="")
text(expand.grid(x=seq(dim(COR)[1]), y=seq(dim(COR)[2])), labels=round(c(COR),2))
box()
axis(1, at=seq(nrow(COR)), labels = rownames(COR), las=2)
axis(2, at=seq(ncol(COR)), labels = colnames(COR), las=1)
par(op)
dev.off()

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

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

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

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

Programmatically Install Certificate into Mozilla

On Windows 7 with Firefox 10, the cert8.db file is stored at %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\########.default\cert8.db. If you are an administrator, you can probably write a simple WMI application to copy the file to the User's respective folder.

Also, a solution that worked for me from http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=52532&mpage=1&key=&#52532

  1. Copied CERTUTIL.EXE from the NSS zip file ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/ ) to C:\Temp\CertImport (I also placed the certificates I want to import there)

  2. Copied all the dll's from the NSS zip file to C\:Windows\System32

  3. Created a BAT file in %Appdata%\mozilla\firefox\profiles with this script...

    Set FFProfdir=%Appdata%\mozilla\firefox\profiles 
    Set CERTDIR=C:\Temp\CertImport 
    DIR /A:D /B > "%Temp%\FFProfile.txt" 
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in (%Temp%\FFProfile.txt) do ( 
    CD /d "%FFProfDir%\%%i" 
    COPY cert8.db cert8.db.orig /y 
    For %%x in ("%CertDir%\Cert1.crt") do "%Certdir%\certutil.exe" -A -n "Cert1" -i "%%x" -t "TCu,TCu,TCu" -d . 
    For %%x in ("%CertDir%\Cert2.crt") do "%Certdir%\certutil.exe" -A -n "Cert2" -i "%%x" -t "TCu,TCu,TCu" -d . 
    ) 
    DEL /f /q "%Temp%\FFProfile.txt" 
    
  4. Executed the BAT file with good results.

How to get the public IP address of a user in C#

REST API Best practices: Where to put parameters?

IMO the parameters should be better as query arguments. The url is used to identify the resource, while the added query parameters to specify which part of the resource you want, any state the resource should have, etc.

Correct way to push into state array

In the following way we can check and update the objects

this.setState(prevState => ({
    Chart: this.state.Chart.length !== 0 ? [...prevState.Chart,data[data.length - 1]] : data
}));

How to determine if a type implements an interface with C# reflection

If you don't need to use reflection and you have an object, you can use this:

if(myObject is IMyInterface )
{
 // it's implementing IMyInterface
}

How to set ssh timeout?

Use the -o ConnectTimeout and -o BatchMode=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no .

ConnectTimeout keeps the script from hanging, BatchMode keeps it from hanging with Host unknown, YES to add to known_hosts, and StrictHostKeyChecking adds the fingerprint automatically.

**** NOTE **** The "StrictHostKeyChecking" was only intended for internal networks where you trust you hosts. Depending on the version of the SSH client, the "Are you sure you want to add your fingerprint" can cause the client to hang indefinitely (mainly old versions running on AIX). Most modern versions do not suffer from this issue. If you have to deal with fingerprints with multiple hosts, I recommend maintaining the known_hosts file with some sort of configuration management tool like puppet/ansible/chef/salt/etc.

How to calculate the sum of all columns of a 2D numpy array (efficiently)

Check out the documentation for numpy.sum, paying particular attention to the axis parameter. To sum over columns:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(4,3)
>>> a.sum(axis=0)
array([18, 22, 26])

Or, to sum over rows:

>>> a.sum(axis=1)
array([ 3, 12, 21, 30])

Other aggregate functions, like numpy.mean, numpy.cumsum and numpy.std, e.g., also take the axis parameter.

From the Tentative Numpy Tutorial:

Many unary operations, such as computing the sum of all the elements in the array, are implemented as methods of the ndarray class. By default, these operations apply to the array as though it were a list of numbers, regardless of its shape. However, by specifying the axis parameter you can apply an operation along the specified axis of an array:

Multipart File Upload Using Spring Rest Template + Spring Web MVC

What is the reason for the error message "System cannot find the path specified"?

You just need to:

Step 1: Go home directory of C:\ with typing cd.. (2 times)

Step 2: It appears now C:\>

Step 3: Type dir Windows\System32\run

That's all, it shows complete files & folder details inside target folder.

enter image description here

Details: I used Windows\System32\com folder as example, you should type your own folder name etc. Windows\System32\run

Using Keras & Tensorflow with AMD GPU

I'm writing an OpenCL 1.2 backend for Tensorflow at https://github.com/hughperkins/tensorflow-cl

This fork of tensorflow for OpenCL has the following characteristics:

  • it targets any/all OpenCL 1.2 devices. It doesnt need OpenCL 2.0, doesnt need SPIR-V, or SPIR. Doesnt need Shared Virtual Memory. And so on ...
  • it's based on an underlying library called 'cuda-on-cl', https://github.com/hughperkins/cuda-on-cl
    • cuda-on-cl targets to be able to take any NVIDIA® CUDA™ soure-code, and compile it for OpenCL 1.2 devices. It's a very general goal, and a very general compiler
  • for now, the following functionalities are implemented:
  • it is developed on Ubuntu 16.04 (using Intel HD5500, and NVIDIA GPUs) and Mac Sierra (using Intel HD 530, and Radeon Pro 450)

This is not the only OpenCL fork of Tensorflow available. There is also a fork being developed by Codeplay https://www.codeplay.com , using Computecpp, https://www.codeplay.com/products/computesuite/computecpp Their fork has stronger requirements than my own, as far as I know, in terms of which specific GPU devices it works on. You would need to check the Platform Support Notes (at the bottom of hte computecpp page), to determine whether your device is supported. The codeplay fork is actually an official Google fork, which is here: https://github.com/benoitsteiner/tensorflow-opencl

How do I disable a Pylint warning?

You just have to add one line to disable what you want to disable.

E.g.,

#pylint: disable = line-too-long, too-many-lines, no-name-in-module, import-error, multiple-imports, pointless-string-statement, wrong-import-order

Add this at the very beginning of your module.

What's the fastest way to delete a large folder in Windows?

use the command prompt, as suggested. I figured out why explorer is so slow a while ago, it gives you an estimate of how long it will take to delete the files/folders. To do this, it has to scan the number of items and the size. This takes ages, hence the ridiculous wait with large folders.

Also, explorer will stop if there is a particular problem with a file,

Best way to check if object exists in Entity Framework?

Best way to do it

Regardless of what your object is and for what table in the database the only thing you need to have is the primary key in the object.

C# Code

var dbValue = EntityObject.Entry(obj).GetDatabaseValues();
if (dbValue == null)
{
   Don't exist
}

VB.NET Code

Dim dbValue = EntityObject.Entry(obj).GetDatabaseValues()
If dbValue Is Nothing Then
   Don't exist
End If

printf format specifiers for uint32_t and size_t

If you don't want to use the PRI* macros, another approach for printing ANY integer type is to cast to intmax_t or uintmax_t and use "%jd" or %ju, respectively. This is especially useful for POSIX (or other OS) types that don't have PRI* macros defined, for instance off_t.

Eclipse does not start when I run the exe?

What system you have - 32-bit or 64-bit? You say it was installed into (x86) folder. But normally (x86) is a default for the 32-bit JDK, not for 64-bit JDK. If you used defaults, then it seems that you installed 32-bit JDK instead of 64-bit.

What is resource-ref in web.xml used for?

You can always refer to resources in your application directly by their JNDI name as configured in the container, but if you do so, essentially you are wiring the container-specific name into your code. This has some disadvantages, for example, if you'll ever want to change the name later for some reason, you'll need to update all the references in all your applications, and then rebuild and redeploy them.

<resource-ref> introduces another layer of indirection: you specify the name you want to use in the web.xml, and, depending on the container, provide a binding in a container-specific configuration file.

So here's what happens: let's say you want to lookup the java:comp/env/jdbc/primaryDB name. The container finds that web.xml has a <resource-ref> element for jdbc/primaryDB, so it will look into the container-specific configuration, that contains something similar to the following:

<resource-ref>
  <res-ref-name>jdbc/primaryDB</res-ref-name>
  <jndi-name>jdbc/PrimaryDBInTheContainer</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>

Finally, it returns the object registered under the name of jdbc/PrimaryDBInTheContainer.

The idea is that specifying resources in the web.xml has the advantage of separating the developer role from the deployer role. In other words, as a developer, you don't have to know what your required resources are actually called in production, and as the guy deploying the application, you will have a nice list of names to map to real resources.

could not extract ResultSet in hibernate

The @JoinColumn annotation specifies the name of the column being used as the foreign key on the targeted entity.

On the Product class above, the name of the join column is set to ID_CATALOG.

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="ID_CATALOG")
private Catalog catalog;

However, the foreign key on the Product table is called catalog_id

`catalog_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,

You'll need to change either the column name on the table or the name you're using in the @JoinColumn so that they match. See http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/annotations/3.5/reference/en/html/entity.html#entity-mapping-association

How to disable editing of elements in combobox for c#?

I tried ComboBox1_KeyPress but it allows to delete the character & you can also use copy paste command. My DropDownStyle is set to DropDownList but still no use. So I did below step to avoid combobox text editing.

  • Below code handles delete & backspace key. And also disables combination with control key (e.g. ctr+C or ctr+X)

     Private Sub CmbxInType_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles CmbxInType.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Back Then 
            e.SuppressKeyPress = True
        End If
    
        If Not (e.Control AndAlso e.KeyCode = Keys.C) Then
            e.SuppressKeyPress = True
        End If
    End Sub
    
  • In form load use below line to disable right click on combobox control to avoid cut/paste via mouse click.

    CmbxInType.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu()

Remove from the beginning of std::vector

Two suggestions:

  1. Use std::deque instead of std::vector for better performance in your specific case and use the method std::deque::pop_front().
  2. Rethink (I mean: delete) the & in std::vector<ScanRule>& topPriorityRules;

How can I ping a server port with PHP?

function ping($ip){
    $output = shell_exec("ping $ip");
    var_dump($output);
}
ping('127.0.0.1');

UPDATE: If you pass an hardcoded IP (like in this example and most of the real-case scenarios), this function can be enough.

But since some users seem to be very concerned about safety, please remind to never pass user generated inputs to the shell_exec function: If the IP comes from an untrusted source, at least check it with a filter before using it.

How to manage exceptions thrown in filters in Spring?

When you want to test a state of application and in case of a problem return HTTP error I would suggest a filter. The filter below handles all HTTP requests. The shortest solution in Spring Boot with a javax filter.

In the implementation can be various conditions. In my case the applicationManager testing if the application is ready.

import ...ApplicationManager;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;

@Component
public class SystemIsReadyFilter implements Filter {

    @Autowired
    private ApplicationManager applicationManager;

    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {}

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        if (!applicationManager.isApplicationReady()) {
            ((HttpServletResponse) response).sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, "The service is booting.");
        } else {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {}
}

C++ cast to derived class

You can't cast a base object to a derived type - it isn't of that type.

If you have a base type pointer to a derived object, then you can cast that pointer around using dynamic_cast. For instance:

DerivedType D;
BaseType B;

BaseType *B_ptr=&B
BaseType *D_ptr=&D;// get a base pointer to derived type

DerivedType *derived_ptr1=dynamic_cast<DerivedType*>(D_ptr);// works fine
DerivedType *derived_ptr2=dynamic_cast<DerivedType*>(B_ptr);// returns NULL

What is Gradle in Android Studio?

I refer two tutorial to write the Answer one,two

Gradle is a general purpose, declarative build tool. It is general purpose because it can be used to build pretty much anything you care to implement in the build script. It is declarative since you don't want to see lots of code in the build file, which is not readable and less maintainable. So, while Gradle provides the idea of conventions and a simple and declarative build, it also makes the tool adaptable and developers the ability to extend. It also provides an easy way to customize the default behavior and different hooks to add any third-party features.

Gradle combines the good parts of both tools and provides additional features and uses Groovy as a Domain Specific Language (DSL). It has power and flexibility of Ant tool with Maven features such as build life cycle and ease of use.

Why Gradle? Why Now?

The build tool's response is to add scripting functionality through nonstandard extension mechanisms. You end up mixing scripting code with XML or invoking external scripts from your build logic. It's easy to imagine that you'll need to add more and more custom code over time. As a result, you inevitably introduce accidental complexity, and maintainability goes out the window.

Let's say you want to copy a file to a specific location when you're building the release version of your project. To identify the version, you check a string in the metadata describing your project. If it matches a specific numbering scheme (for example, 1.0-RELEASE), you copy the file from point A to point B. From an outside perspective, this may sound like a trivial task. If you have to rely on XML, the build language of many traditional tools, expressing this simple logic becomes fairly difficult.

Evolution of Java Build Tools

Java build logic has to be described in XML. XML is great for describing hierarchical data but falls short on expressing program flow and conditional logic. As a build script grows in complexity, maintaining the building code becomes a nightmare.

In Ant, you make the JAR target depend on the compile target. Ant doesn't give any guidance on how to structure your project. Though it allows for maximum flexibility, Ant makes each build script unique and hard to understand. External libraries required by your project are usually checked into version control because there is no automated mechanism to pull them from a central location.

Maven 1, released in July 2004, tried to ease that process. It provided a standardized project and directory structure, as well as dependency management. Unfortunately, custom logic is hard to implement

Gradle fits right into that generation of build tools and satisfies many requirements of modern build tools (Figure 1). It provides an expressive DSL, a convention over configuration approach, and powerful dependency management. It makes the right move to abandon XML and introduce the dynamic language Groovy to define your build logic. Sounds compelling, doesn't it?

Gradle combines the best features of other build tools.

enter image description here

Gradle's Compelling Feature Set

enter image description here

Why Build Your Java Projects with Gradle Rather than Ant or Maven?

The default build tool for Android (and the new star of build tools on the JVM) is designed to ease scripting of complex, multi-language builds. Should you change to it, though, if you're using Ant or Maven?

The key to unlocking Gradle's power features within your build script lies in discovering and applying its domain model, as shown in below image. enter image description here

Gradle can't know all the requirements specific to your enterprise build. By exposing hooks into lifecycle phases, Gradle allows for monitoring and configuring the build script's execution behavior.

Gradle establishes a vocabulary for its model by exposing a DSL implemented in Groovy. When dealing with a complex problem domain, in this case, the task of building software, being able to use a common language to express your logic can be a powerful tool.

Another example is the way you can express dependencies to external libraries, a very common problem solved by build tools. Out-of-the-box Gradle provides you with two configuration blocks for your build script that allow you to define the dependencies and repositories that you want to retrieve them from. If the standard DSL elements don't fit your needs, you can even introduce your own vocabulary through Gradle's extension mechanism.

Integration with Other Build Tools

Gradle plays well with its predecessors' Ant, Maven, and Ivy, as shown in the image below.

How to access host port from docker container

For all platforms

Docker v 20.10 and above (since December 14th 2020)

On Linux, add --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway to your Docker command to enable this feature. (See below for Docker Compose configuration.)

Use your internal IP address or connect to the special DNS name host.docker.internal which will resolve to the internal IP address used by the host.

To enable this in Docker Compose on Linux, add the following lines to the container definition:

extra_hosts:
- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

For macOS and Windows

Docker v 18.03 and above (since March 21st 2018)

Use your internal IP address or connect to the special DNS name host.docker.internal which will resolve to the internal IP address used by the host.

Linux support pending https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/264

MacOS with earlier versions of Docker

Docker for Mac v 17.12 to v 18.02

Same as above but use docker.for.mac.host.internal instead.

Docker for Mac v 17.06 to v 17.11

Same as above but use docker.for.mac.localhost instead.

Docker for Mac 17.05 and below

To access host machine from the docker container you must attach an IP alias to your network interface. You can bind whichever IP you want, just make sure you're not using it to anything else.

sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 123.123.123.123/24

Then make sure that you server is listening to the IP mentioned above or 0.0.0.0. If it's listening on localhost 127.0.0.1 it will not accept the connection.

Then just point your docker container to this IP and you can access the host machine!

To test you can run something like curl -X GET 123.123.123.123:3000 inside the container.

The alias will reset on every reboot so create a start-up script if necessary.

Solution and more documentation here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking/#use-cases-and-workarounds

How to read a text file directly from Internet using Java?

    while ((inputLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
    {
        stringBuilder.append(inputLine);
        stringBuilder.append(System.lineSeparator());
    }

    bufferedReader.close();
    return stringBuilder.toString().trim();
}

This is based on here.

Testing two JSON objects for equality ignoring child order in Java

As a general architectural point, I usually advise against letting dependencies on a particular serialization format bleed out beyond your storage/networking layer; thus, I'd first recommend that you consider testing equality between your own application objects rather than their JSON manifestations.

Having said that, I'm currently a big fan of Jackson which my quick read of their ObjectNode.equals() implementation suggests does the set membership comparison that you want:

public boolean equals(Object o)
{
    if (o == this) return true;
    if (o == null) return false;
    if (o.getClass() != getClass()) {
        return false;
    }
    ObjectNode other = (ObjectNode) o;
    if (other.size() != size()) {
        return false;
    }
    if (_children != null) {
        for (Map.Entry<String, JsonNode> en : _children.entrySet()) {
            String key = en.getKey();
            JsonNode value = en.getValue();

            JsonNode otherValue = other.get(key);

            if (otherValue == null || !otherValue.equals(value)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

How to call MVC Action using Jquery AJAX and then submit form in MVC?

Use preventDefault() to stop the event of submit button and in ajax call success submit the form using submit():

$('#btnSave').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // <------------------ stop default behaviour of button
    var element = this;    
    $.ajax({
        url: "/Home/SaveDetailedInfo",
        type: "POST",
        data: JSON.stringify({ 'Options': someData}),
        dataType: "json",
        traditional: true,
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        success: function (data) {
            if (data.status == "Success") {
                alert("Done");
                $(element).closest("form").submit(); //<------------ submit form
            } else {
                alert("Error occurs on the Database level!");
            }
        },
        error: function () {
            alert("An error has occured!!!");
        }
    });
});

Best way to encode text data for XML

Brilliant! That's all I can say.

Here is a VB variant of the updated code (not in a class, just a function) that will clean up and also sanitize the xml

Function cXML(ByVal _buf As String) As String
    Dim textOut As New StringBuilder
    Dim c As Char
    If _buf.Trim Is Nothing OrElse _buf = String.Empty Then Return String.Empty
    For i As Integer = 0 To _buf.Length - 1
        c = _buf(i)
        If Entities.ContainsKey(c) Then
            textOut.Append(Entities.Item(c))
        ElseIf (AscW(c) = &H9 OrElse AscW(c) = &HA OrElse AscW(c) = &HD) OrElse ((AscW(c) >= &H20) AndAlso (AscW(c) <= &HD7FF)) _
            OrElse ((AscW(c) >= &HE000) AndAlso (AscW(c) <= &HFFFD)) OrElse ((AscW(c) >= &H10000) AndAlso (AscW(c) <= &H10FFFF)) Then
            textOut.Append(c)
        End If
    Next
    Return textOut.ToString

End Function

Convert a tensor to numpy array in Tensorflow?

You need to:

  1. encode the image tensor in some format (jpeg, png) to binary tensor
  2. evaluate (run) the binary tensor in a session
  3. turn the binary to stream
  4. feed to PIL image
  5. (optional) displaythe image with matplotlib

Code:

import tensorflow as tf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import PIL

...

image_tensor = <your decoded image tensor>
jpeg_bin_tensor = tf.image.encode_jpeg(image_tensor)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    # display encoded back to image data
    jpeg_bin = sess.run(jpeg_bin_tensor)
    jpeg_str = StringIO.StringIO(jpeg_bin)
    jpeg_image = PIL.Image.open(jpeg_str)
    plt.imshow(jpeg_image)

This worked for me. You can try it in a ipython notebook. Just don't forget to add the following line:

%matplotlib inline

Regular Expression For Duplicate Words

Try this regular expression:

\b(\w+)\s+\1\b

Here \b is a word boundary and \1 references the captured match of the first group.

"continue" in cursor.forEach()

Each iteration of the forEach() will call the function that you have supplied. To stop further processing within any given iteration (and continue with the next item) you just have to return from the function at the appropriate point:

elementsCollection.forEach(function(element){
  if (!element.shouldBeProcessed)
    return; // stop processing this iteration

  // This part will be avoided if not neccessary
  doSomeLengthyOperation();
});

How to keep indent for second line in ordered lists via CSS?

my solution is quite the same as Pumbaa80's one, but I suggest to use display: table instead of display:table-row for li element. So it will be something like this:

ol {
    counter-reset: foo; /* default display:list-item */
}

ol > li {
    counter-increment: foo;
    display: table; /* instead of table-row */
}

ol > li::before {
    content: counter(foo) ".";
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: right;
}

So now we can use margins for spacing between li's

Write to rails console

In addition to already suggested p and puts — well, actually in most cases you do can write logger.info "blah" just as you suggested yourself. It works in console too, not only in server mode.

But if all you want is console debugging, puts and p are much shorter to write, anyway.

Android List View Drag and Drop sort

Am adding this answer for the purpose of those who google about this..

There was an episode of DevBytes (ListView Cell Dragging and Rearranging) recently which explains how to do this

You can find it here also the sample code is available here.

What this code basically does is that it creates a dynamic listview by the extension of listview that supports cell dragging and swapping. So that you can use the DynamicListView instead of your basic ListView and that's it you have implemented a ListView with Drag and Drop.

Get current rowIndex of table in jQuery

Since "$(this).parent().index();" and "$(this).parent('table').index();" don't work for me, I use this code instead:

$('td').click(function(){
   var row_index = $(this).closest("tr").index();
   var col_index = $(this).index();
});

Why is list initialization (using curly braces) better than the alternatives?

There are already great answers about the advantages of using list initialization, however my personal rule of thumb is NOT to use curly braces whenever possible, but instead make it dependent on the conceptual meaning:

  • If the object I'm creating conceptually holds the values I'm passing in the constructor (e.g. containers, POD structs, atomics, smart pointers etc.), then I'm using the braces.
  • If the constructor resembles a normal function call (it performs some more or less complex operations that are parametrized by the arguments) then I'm using the normal function call syntax.
  • For default initialization I always use curly braces.
    For one, that way I'm always sure that the object gets initialized irrespective of whether it e.g. is a "real" class with a default constructor that would get called anyway or a builtin / POD type. Second it is - in most cases - consistent with the first rule, as a default initialized object often represents an "empty" object.

In my experience, this ruleset can be applied much more consistently than using curly braces by default, but having to explicitly remember all the exceptions when they can't be used or have a different meaning than the "normal" function-call syntax with parenthesis (calls a different overload).

It e.g. fits nicely with standard library-types like std::vector:

vector<int> a{10,20};   //Curly braces -> fills the vector with the arguments

vector<int> b(10,20);   //Parentheses -> uses arguments to parametrize some functionality,                          
vector<int> c(it1,it2); //like filling the vector with 10 integers or copying a range.

vector<int> d{};      //empty braces -> default constructs vector, which is equivalent
                      //to a vector that is filled with zero elements

What does <> mean in excel?

It means "not equal to" (as in, the values in cells E37-N37 are not equal to "", or in other words, they are not empty.)

Target a css class inside another css class

I use div instead of tables and am able to target classes within the main class, as below:

CSS

.main {
    .width: 800px;
    .margin: 0 auto;
    .text-align: center;
}
.main .table {
    width: 80%;
}
.main .row {
   / ***something ***/
}
.main .column {
    font-size: 14px;
    display: inline-block;
}
.main .left {
    width: 140px;
    margin-right: 5px;
    font-size: 12px;
}
.main .right {
    width: auto;
    margin-right: 20px;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-weight: normal;
}

HTML

<div class="main">
    <div class="table">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="column left">Swing Over Bed</div>
            <div class="column right">650mm</div>
            <div class="column left">Swing In Gap</div>
            <div class="column right">800mm</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

If you want to style a particular "cell" exclusively you can use another sub-class or the id of the div e.g:

.main #red { color: red; }

<div class="main">
    <div class="table">
        <div class="row">
            <div id="red" class="column left">Swing Over Bed</div>
            <div class="column right">650mm</div>
            <div class="column left">Swing In Gap</div>
            <div class="column right">800mm</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

How To Get Selected Value From UIPickerView

You have to use the didSelectRow delegate method, because a UIPickerView can have an arbitrary number of components. There is no "objectValue" or anything like that, because that's entirely up to you.

How to show empty data message in Datatables

This is a just a nice idea. that, you can Add class in body, and hide/show table while there is no data in table. This works perfect for me. You can design custom NO Record Found error message when there is no record in table, you can add class "no-record", and when there is 1 or more than one record, you can remove class and show datatable

Here is jQuery code.

$('#default_table').DataTable({

    // your stuff here

    "fnFooterCallback": function (nRow, aaData, iStart, iEnd, aiDisplay) {
        if (aiDisplay.length > 0) {
            $('body').removeClass('no-record');
        }
        else {
            $('body').addClass('no-record');
        }
    }
});

Here is CSS

.no-record #default_table{display:none;}

and here is Official link.

How to make html table vertically scrollable

Hi try with this overflow-y: scroll. I hope it may helps you

Get domain name from given url

In my case i only needed the main domain and not the subdomain (no "www" or whatever the subdomain is) :

public static String getUrlDomain(String url) throws URISyntaxException {
    URI uri = new URI(url);
    String domain = uri.getHost();
    String[] domainArray = domain.split("\\.");
    if (domainArray.length == 1) {
        return domainArray[0];
    }
    return domainArray[domainArray.length - 2] + "." + domainArray[domainArray.length - 1];
}

With this method the url "https://rest.webtoapp.io/llSlider?lg=en&t=8" will have for domain "webtoapp.io".

How to use font-awesome icons from node-modules

Since I'm currently learning node js, I also encountered this problem. All I did was, first of all, install the font-awesome using npm

npm install font-awesome --save-dev

after that, I set a static folder for the css and fonts:

app.use('/fa', express.static(__dirname + '/node_modules/font-awesome/css'));
app.use('/fonts', express.static(__dirname + '/node_modules/font-awesome/fonts'));

and in html:

<link href="/fa/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

and it works fine!

How to checkout in Git by date?

Looks like you need something along the lines of this: Git checkout based on date

In other words, you use rev-list to find the commit and then use checkout to actually get it.

If you don't want to lose your staged changes, the easiest thing would be to create a new branch and commit them to that branch. You can always switch back and forth between branches.

Edit: The link is down, so here's the command:

git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2009-07-27 13:37" master`

Facebook Open Graph not clearing cache

I'm sorry folks but the correct answer is:

There is no fool proof way to update the open graph og:image url with immediate result. It is cached until fb updates (reportedly every 24 hours)

Here are things that have been reported to work by others but I have had ZERO success with any of them.

  • Choosing "Fetch new scrape information"
  • Changing the actual image filename and/or deleting the original
  • Adding a query string to the image url by appending a PHP TIMESTAMP or ?anything
  • Adding the "...yoursite.com/?fbrefresh=anything" query string to the debugger fetch url
  • Choosing the graph API link at the bottom of the og dev page
  • Choosing to see exactly what the scraper sees - does not appear to request real time un-cached scrape data, it still shows the cached image url even if the file no longer exists

Inspecting your code is always a spot on way to confirm it is not an issue with browser cache or some caching service. If the meta information is up to date in your code and you've tried all of the above (unless another suggestion comes to fruition), the correct answer is you can do nothing but wait.

How do I set proxy for chrome in python webdriver?

I had an issue with the same thing. ChromeOptions is very weird because it's not integrated with the desiredcapabilities like you would think. I forget the exact details, but basically ChromeOptions will reset to default certain values based on whether you did or did not pass a desired capabilities dict.

I did the following monkey-patch that allows me to specify my own dict without worrying about the complications of ChromeOptions

change the following code in /selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py:

def __init__(self, executable_path="chromedriver", port=0,
             chrome_options=None, service_args=None,
             desired_capabilities=None, service_log_path=None, skip_capabilities_update=False):
    """
    Creates a new instance of the chrome driver.

    Starts the service and then creates new instance of chrome driver.

    :Args:
     - executable_path - path to the executable. If the default is used it assumes the executable is in the $PATH
     - port - port you would like the service to run, if left as 0, a free port will be found.
     - desired_capabilities: Dictionary object with non-browser specific
       capabilities only, such as "proxy" or "loggingPref".
     - chrome_options: this takes an instance of ChromeOptions
    """
    if chrome_options is None:
        options = Options()
    else:
        options = chrome_options

    if skip_capabilities_update:
        pass
    elif desired_capabilities is not None:
        desired_capabilities.update(options.to_capabilities())
    else:
        desired_capabilities = options.to_capabilities()

    self.service = Service(executable_path, port=port,
        service_args=service_args, log_path=service_log_path)
    self.service.start()

    try:
        RemoteWebDriver.__init__(self,
            command_executor=self.service.service_url,
            desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)
    except:
        self.quit()
        raise 
    self._is_remote = False

all that changed was the "skip_capabilities_update" kwarg. Now I just do this to set my own dict:

capabilities = dict( DesiredCapabilities.CHROME )

if not "chromeOptions" in capabilities:
    capabilities['chromeOptions'] = {
        'args' : [],
        'binary' : "",
        'extensions' : [],
        'prefs' : {}
    }

capabilities['proxy'] = {
    'httpProxy' : "%s:%i" %(proxy_address, proxy_port),
    'ftpProxy' : "%s:%i" %(proxy_address, proxy_port),
    'sslProxy' : "%s:%i" %(proxy_address, proxy_port),
    'noProxy' : None,
    'proxyType' : "MANUAL",
    'class' : "org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
    'autodetect' : False
}

driver = webdriver.Chrome( executable_path="path_to_chrome", desired_capabilities=capabilities, skip_capabilities_update=True )

Handling exceptions from Java ExecutorService tasks

Postgresql 9.2 pg_dump version mismatch

If you're on Ubuntu, you might have an old version of postgresql-client installed. Based on the versions in your error message, the solution would be the following:

sudo apt-get remove postgresql-client-9.1
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-9.2

jQuery get mouse position within an element

One way is to use the jQuery offset method to translate the event.pageX and event.pageY coordinates from the event into a mouse position relative to the parent. Here's an example for future reference:

$("#something").click(function(e){
   var parentOffset = $(this).parent().offset(); 
   //or $(this).offset(); if you really just want the current element's offset
   var relX = e.pageX - parentOffset.left;
   var relY = e.pageY - parentOffset.top;
});

Why isn't sizeof for a struct equal to the sum of sizeof of each member?

C language leaves compiler some freedom about the location of the structural elements in the memory:

  • memory holes may appear between any two components, and after the last component. It was due to the fact that certain types of objects on the target computer may be limited by the boundaries of addressing
  • "memory holes" size included in the result of sizeof operator. The sizeof only doesn't include size of the flexible array, which is available in C/C++
  • Some implementations of the language allow you to control the memory layout of structures through the pragma and compiler options

The C language provides some assurance to the programmer of the elements layout in the structure:

  • compilers required to assign a sequence of components increasing memory addresses
  • Address of the first component coincides with the start address of the structure
  • unnamed bit fields may be included in the structure to the required address alignments of adjacent elements

Problems related to the elements alignment:

  • Different computers line the edges of objects in different ways
  • Different restrictions on the width of the bit field
  • Computers differ on how to store the bytes in a word (Intel 80x86 and Motorola 68000)

How alignment works:

  • The volume occupied by the structure is calculated as the size of the aligned single element of an array of such structures. The structure should end so that the first element of the next following structure does not the violate requirements of alignment

What is an idiomatic way of representing enums in Go?

It's true that the above examples of using const and iota are the most idiomatic ways of representing primitive enums in Go. But what if you're looking for a way to create a more fully-featured enum similar to the type you'd see in another language like Java or Python?

A very simple way to create an object that starts to look and feel like a string enum in Python would be:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

var Colors = newColorRegistry()

func newColorRegistry() *colorRegistry {
    return &colorRegistry{
        Red:   "red",
        Green: "green",
        Blue:  "blue",
    }
}

type colorRegistry struct {
    Red   string
    Green string
    Blue  string
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(Colors.Red)
}

Suppose you also wanted some utility methods, like Colors.List(), and Colors.Parse("red"). And your colors were more complex and needed to be a struct. Then you might do something a bit like this:

package main

import (
    "errors"
    "fmt"
)

var Colors = newColorRegistry()

type Color struct {
    StringRepresentation string
    Hex                  string
}

func (c *Color) String() string {
    return c.StringRepresentation
}

func newColorRegistry() *colorRegistry {

    red := &Color{"red", "F00"}
    green := &Color{"green", "0F0"}
    blue := &Color{"blue", "00F"}

    return &colorRegistry{
        Red:    red,
        Green:  green,
        Blue:   blue,
        colors: []*Color{red, green, blue},
    }
}

type colorRegistry struct {
    Red   *Color
    Green *Color
    Blue  *Color

    colors []*Color
}

func (c *colorRegistry) List() []*Color {
    return c.colors
}

func (c *colorRegistry) Parse(s string) (*Color, error) {
    for _, color := range c.List() {
        if color.String() == s {
            return color, nil
        }
    }
    return nil, errors.New("couldn't find it")
}

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("%s\n", Colors.List())
}

At that point, sure it works, but you might not like how you have to repetitively define colors. If at this point you'd like to eliminate that, you could use tags on your struct and do some fancy reflecting to set it up, but hopefully this is enough to cover most people.

Current date without time

Use the Date property: Gets the date component of this instance.

var dateAndTime = DateTime.Now;
var date = dateAndTime.Date;

variable date contain the date and the time part will be 00:00:00.

or

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy"));

or

DateTime.ToShortDateString Method-

Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString ());

PHPMailer character encoding issues

Set min-width in HTML table's <td>

min-width and max-width properties do not work the way you expect for table cells. From spec:

In CSS 2.1, the effect of 'min-width' and 'max-width' on tables, inline tables, table cells, table columns, and column groups is undefined.

This hasn't changed in CSS3.

Reading an Excel file in python using pandas

Thought i should add here, that if you want to access rows or columns to loop through them, you do this:

import pandas as pd

# open the file
xlsx = pd.ExcelFile("PATH\FileName.xlsx")

# get the first sheet as an object
sheet1 = xlsx.parse(0)
    
# get the first column as a list you can loop through
# where the is 0 in the code below change to the row or column number you want    
column = sheet1.icol(0).real

# get the first row as a list you can loop through
row = sheet1.irow(0).real

Edit:

The methods icol(i) and irow(i) are deprecated now. You can use sheet1.iloc[:,i] to get the i-th col and sheet1.iloc[i,:] to get the i-th row.

Redis - Connect to Remote Server

Setting tcp-keepalive to 60 (it was set to 0) in server's redis configuration helped me resolve this issue.

How to resolve git's "not something we can merge" error

I suggest checking if you are able to switch to the branch that you are trying to merge with.

I got this error even though the branch I wanted to merge with was in local repository and there were no spelling errors.

I ignored my local changes so that I could switch to the branch (Stash or commit can also be preferred). After this I switched back to the initial branch, and the merge was successful.

how to delete a specific row in codeigniter?

It will come in the url so you can get it by two ways. Fist one

<td><?php echo anchor('textarea/delete_row', 'DELETE', 'id="$row->id"'); ?></td>
$id = $this->input->get('id');

2nd one.

$id = $this->uri->segment(3);

But in the second method you have to count the no. of segments in the url that on which no. your id come. 2,3,4 etc. then you have to pass. then in the ();

Package signatures do not match the previously installed version

This occurs due to the availability of the previous version of the Application, that is not installed on the device but its data is present in the device memory. So it fails to upgrade this uninstalled application data on the device

Try this :

Go to Device Settings ==> Apps(All Apps) ==> search your App OR search for 'client' ==> In App info screen , press the triple dots option on top right corner ==> select 'Uninstall for All Users' ==> a promt appears select 'OK'

It works for me every time this error occurs

no default constructor exists for class

Because you have this:

Blowfish(BlowfishAlgorithm algorithm);

It's not a default constructor. The default constructor is one which takes no parameters. i.e.

Blowfish();

Determine direct shared object dependencies of a Linux binary?

You can use readelf to explore the ELF headers. readelf -d will list the direct dependencies as NEEDED sections.

 $ readelf -d elfbin

Dynamic section at offset 0xe30 contains 22 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libssl.so.1.0.0]
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]

Cannot deserialize the JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type ' ' because type requires JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly

Use this, FrontData is JSON string:

var objResponse1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<DataTransfer>>(FrontData);  

and extract list:

var a = objResponse1[0];
var b = a.CustomerData;

jQuery getTime function

Annoyingly Javascript's date.getSeconds() et al will not pad the result with zeros 11:0:0 instead of 11:00:00.

So I like to use

date.toLocaleTimestring()

Which renders 11:00:00 AM. Just beware when using the extra options, some browsers don't support them (Safari)

Documentation

running php script (php function) in linux bash

I was in need to decode URL in a Bash script. So I decide to use PHP in this way:

$ cat url-decode.sh
#!/bin/bash
URL='url=https%3a%2f%2f1%2fecp%2f'
/usr/bin/php -r '$arg1 = $argv[1];echo rawurldecode($arg1);' "$URL"

Sample output:

$ ./url-decode.sh 
url=https://1/ecp/

What is the purpose of a plus symbol before a variable?

It is a unary "+" operator which yields a numeric expression. It would be the same as d*1, I believe.

uint8_t vs unsigned char

That is really important for example when you are writing a network analyzer. packet headers are defined by the protocol specification, not by the way a particular platform's C compiler works.

How to enable curl in xampp?

First, make sure you have libcurl (see: http://curl.haxx.se) installed. Then make sure your copy of PHP has been compiled with the --with-curl[=DIR] flag. For more info see:

If XAMPP comes pre-compiled with cURL you may just need to enable the extension in your php.ini file (usually by removing a semicolon at the start of the line which includes the extension).

jquery .html() vs .append()

You can get the second method to achieve the same effect by:

var mySecondDiv = $('<div></div>');
$(mySecondDiv).find('div').attr('id', 'mySecondDiv');
$('#myDiv').append(mySecondDiv);

Luca mentioned that html() just inserts hte HTML which results in faster performance.

In some occassions though, you would opt for the second option, consider:

// Clumsy string concat, error prone
$('#myDiv').html("<div style='width:'" + myWidth + "'px'>Lorem ipsum</div>");

// Isn't this a lot cleaner? (though longer)
var newDiv = $('<div></div>');
$(newDiv).find('div').css('width', myWidth);
$('#myDiv').append(newDiv);

What is the @Html.DisplayFor syntax for?

DisplayFor is also useful for templating. You could write a template for your Model, and do something like this:

@Html.DisplayFor(m => m)

Similar to @Html.EditorFor(m => m). It's useful for the DRY principal so that you don't have to write the same display logic over and over for the same Model.

Take a look at this blog on MVC2 templates. It's still very applicable to MVC3:

http://www.dalsoft.co.uk/blog/index.php/2010/04/26/mvc-2-templates/


It's also useful if your Model has a Data annotation. For instance, if the property on the model is decorated with the EmailAddress data annotation, DisplayFor will render it as a mailto: link.

Executable directory where application is running from?

This is the first post on google so I thought I'd post different ways that are available and how they compare. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to create a table here, so it's an image. The code for each is below the image using fully qualified names.

enter image description here

My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

Environment.CurrentDirectory

System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.CodeBase

New System.UriBuilder(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.CodeBase)

Path.GetDirectoryName(Uri.UnescapeDataString((New System.UriBuilder(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.CodeBase).Path)))

Uri.UnescapeDataString((New System.UriBuilder(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.CodeBase).Path))

Check if table exists

You can use the available meta data:

  DatabaseMetaData meta = con.getMetaData();
  ResultSet res = meta.getTables(null, null, "My_Table_Name", 
     new String[] {"TABLE"});
  while (res.next()) {
     System.out.println(
        "   "+res.getString("TABLE_CAT") 
       + ", "+res.getString("TABLE_SCHEM")
       + ", "+res.getString("TABLE_NAME")
       + ", "+res.getString("TABLE_TYPE")
       + ", "+res.getString("REMARKS")); 
  }

See here for more details. Note also the caveats in the JavaDoc.

Working around MySQL error "Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction"

Note that if you use SELECT FOR UPDATE to perform a uniqueness check before an insert, you will get a deadlock for every race condition unless you enable the innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog option. A deadlock-free method to check uniqueness is to blindly insert a row into a table with a unique index using INSERT IGNORE, then to check the affected row count.

add below line to my.cnf file

innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1

#

1 - ON
0 - OFF

Django CSRF Cookie Not Set

If you're using the HTML5 Fetch API to make POST requests as a logged in user and getting Forbidden (CSRF cookie not set.), it could be because by default fetch does not include session cookies, resulting in Django thinking you're a different user than the one who loaded the page.

You can include the session token by passing the option credentials: 'include' to fetch:

var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append('X-CSRFToken', csrftoken);
fetch('/api/upload', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: payload,
    headers: headers,
    credentials: 'include'
})

Interview question: Check if one string is a rotation of other string

}

How to iterate over array of objects in Handlebars?

This fiddle has both each and direct json. http://jsfiddle.net/streethawk707/a9ssja22/.

Below are the two ways of iterating over array. One is with direct json passing and another is naming the json array while passing to content holder.

Eg1: The below example is directly calling json key (data) inside small_data variable.

In html use the below code:

<div id="small-content-placeholder"></div>

The below can be placed in header or body of html:

<script id="small-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
    <table>
        <thead>
            <th>Username</th>
            <th>email</th>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            {{#data}}
                <tr>
                    <td>{{username}}
                    </td>
                    <td>{{email}}</td>
                </tr>
            {{/data}}
        </tbody>
    </table>
</script>

The below one is on document ready:

var small_source   = $("#small-template").html();
var small_template = Handlebars.compile(small_source);

The below is the json:

var small_data = {
            data: [
                {username: "alan1", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "[email protected]" },
                {username: "alan2", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "[email protected]" }
            ]
        };

Finally attach the json to content holder:

$("#small-content-placeholder").html(small_template(small_data));

Eg2: Iteration using each.

Consider the below json.

var big_data = [
            {
                name: "users1",
                details: [
                    {username: "alan1", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "[email protected]" },
                    {username: "allison1", firstName: "Allison", lastName: "House", email: "[email protected]" },
                    {username: "ryan1", firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Carson", email: "[email protected]" }
                  ]
            },
            {
                name: "users2",
                details: [
                    {username: "alan2", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "[email protected]" },
                    {username: "allison2", firstName: "Allison", lastName: "House", email: "[email protected]" },
                    {username: "ryan2", firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Carson", email: "[email protected]" }
                  ]
            }
      ];

While passing the json to content holder just name it in this way:

$("#big-content-placeholder").html(big_template({big_data:big_data}));

And the template looks like :

<script id="big-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
    <table>
        <thead>
            <th>Username</th>
            <th>email</th>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            {{#each big_data}}
                <tr>
                    <td>{{name}}
                            <ul>
                                {{#details}}
                                    <li>{{username}}</li>
                                    <li>{{email}}</li>
                                {{/details}}
                            </ul>
                    </td>
                    <td>{{email}}</td>
                </tr>
            {{/each}}
        </tbody>
    </table>
</script>

increase the java heap size permanently?

This worked for me:

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx1g"

It's important that you have no spaces because for me it did not work. I would suggest just copying and pasting. Then I ran:

java -XshowSettings:vm 

and it will tell you:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx1g

FFmpeg: How to split video efficiently?

Didn't test ist, but this looks promising:

Basic stream segmenter

It is obviously splitting AVI into segments of same size, which implies these chunks don't loose quality or increase memory or must be recalculated.

It also uses the codec copy - does that mean it can handle very large streams ? Because this is my problem, i want to break down my avi so i could use a filter to get rid of the distorsion. But a whole avi runs for hours.

How to return a string value from a Bash function

To illustrate my comment on Andy's answer, with additional file descriptor manipulation to avoid use of /dev/tty:

#!/bin/bash

exec 3>&1

returnString() {
    exec 4>&1 >&3
    local s=$1
    s=${s:="some default string"}
    echo "writing to stdout"
    echo "writing to stderr" >&2
    exec >&4-
    echo "$s"
}

my_string=$(returnString "$*")
echo "my_string:  [$my_string]"

Still nasty, though.

Regular Expressions: Search in list

You can create an iterator in Python 3.x or a list in Python 2.x by using:

filter(r.match, list)

To convert the Python 3.x iterator to a list, simply cast it; list(filter(..)).

Ruby: Can I write multi-line string with no concatenation?

What is PEP8's E128: continuation line under-indented for visual indent?

This goes also for statements like this (auto-formatted by PyCharm):

    return combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['train']), \
           combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['dev']), \
           combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['test'])

Which will give the same style-warning. In order to get rid of it I had to rewrite it to:

    return \
        combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['train']), \
        combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['dev']), \
        combine_sample_generators(sample_generators['test'])

How do you calculate the variance, median, and standard deviation in C++ or Java?

public class Statistics {
    double[] data;
    int size;   

    public Statistics(double[] data) {
        this.data = data;
        size = data.length;
    }   

    double getMean() {
        double sum = 0.0;
        for(double a : data)
            sum += a;
        return sum/size;
    }

    double getVariance() {
        double mean = getMean();
        double temp = 0;
        for(double a :data)
            temp += (a-mean)*(a-mean);
        return temp/(size-1);
    }

    double getStdDev() {
        return Math.sqrt(getVariance());
    }

    public double median() {
       Arrays.sort(data);
       if (data.length % 2 == 0)
          return (data[(data.length / 2) - 1] + data[data.length / 2]) / 2.0;
       return data[data.length / 2];
    }
}

Why Git is not allowing me to commit even after configuration?

Do you have a local user.name or user.email that's overriding the global one?

git config --list --global | grep user
  user.name=YOUR NAME
  user.email=YOUR@EMAIL
git config --list --local | grep user
  user.name=YOUR NAME
  user.email=

If so, remove them

git config --unset --local user.name
git config --unset --local user.email

The local settings are per-clone, so you'll have to unset the local user.name and user.email for each of the repos on your machine.

Saving a Numpy array as an image

The world probably doesn't need yet another package for writing a numpy array to a PNG file, but for those who can't get enough, I recently put up numpngw on github:

https://github.com/WarrenWeckesser/numpngw

and on pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpngw/

The only external dependency is numpy.

Here's the first example from the examples directory of the repository. The essential line is simply

write_png('example1.png', img)

where img is a numpy array. All the code before that line is import statements and code to create img.

import numpy as np
from numpngw import write_png


# Example 1
#
# Create an 8-bit RGB image.

img = np.zeros((80, 128, 3), dtype=np.uint8)

grad = np.linspace(0, 255, img.shape[1])

img[:16, :, :] = 127
img[16:32, :, 0] = grad
img[32:48, :, 1] = grad[::-1]
img[48:64, :, 2] = grad
img[64:, :, :] = 127

write_png('example1.png', img)

Here's the PNG file that it creates:

example1.png

How to change position of Toast in Android?

From the documentation:

Warning: Starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#R, for apps targeting API level Build.VERSION_CODES#R or higher, this method (setGravity) is a no-op when called on text toasts.

Which means that setGravity can no longer be used in API 30+ and will have to find another to achieve the required behaviour.

no overload for matches delegate 'system.eventhandler'

You need to change public void klik(PaintEventArgs pea, EventArgs e) to public void klik(object sender, System.EventArgs e) because there is no Click event handler with parameters PaintEventArgs pea, EventArgs e.

Why do I get permission denied when I try use "make" to install something?

Giving us the whole error message would be much more useful. If it's for make install then you're probably trying to install something to a system directory and you're not root. If you have root access then you can run

sudo make install

or log in as root and do the whole process as root.

What is the Swift equivalent to Objective-C's "@synchronized"?

Swift 3

This code has the re-entry ability and can work with Asynchronous function calls. In this code, after someAsyncFunc() is called, another function closure on the serial queue will process but be blocked by semaphore.wait() until signal() is called. internalQueue.sync shouldn't be used as it will block the main thread if I'm not mistaken.

let internalQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "serialQueue")
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 1)

internalQueue.async {

    self.semaphore.wait()

    // Critical section

    someAsyncFunc() {

        // Do some work here

        self.semaphore.signal()
    }
}

objc_sync_enter/objc_sync_exit isn't a good idea without error handling.

Passing arguments to JavaScript function from code-behind

Some other things I found out:

You can't directly pass in an array like:

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "xx",   
"<script>test("+x+","+y+");</script>");

because that calls the ToString() methods of x and y, which returns "System.Int32[]", and obviously Javascript can't use that. I had to pass in the arrays as strings, like "[1,2,3,4,5]", so I wrote a helper method to do the conversion.

Also, there is a difference between this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() and this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock() - the former places the script at the bottom of the page, which I need in order to be able to access the controls (like with document.getElementByID). RegisterClientScriptBlock() is executed before the tags are rendered, so I actually get a Javascript error if I use that method.

http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/Manipulating-ASP-NET-Pages-and-Server-Controls-with-JavaScript.id-310803.html covers the difference between the two pretty well.

Here's the complete example I came up with:

// code behind
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int[] x = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int[] y = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    string xStr = getArrayString(x); // converts {1,2,3,4,5} to [1,2,3,4,5]
    string yStr = getArrayString(y);

    string script = String.Format("test({0},{1})", xStr, yStr);
    this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(),
    "testFunction", script, true);
    //this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),
    //"testFunction", script, true); // different result
}
private string getArrayString(int[] array)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
    {
        sb.Append(array[i] + ",");
    }
    string arrayStr = string.Format("[{0}]", sb.ToString().TrimEnd(','));
    return arrayStr;
}

How to simulate POST request?

It would be helpful if you provided more information - e.g. what OS your using, what you want to accomplish, etc. But, generally speaking cURL is a very powerful command-line tool I frequently use (in linux) for imitating HTML requests:

For example:

curl --data "post1=value1&post2=value2&etc=valetc" http://host/resource

OR, for a RESTful API:

curl -X POST -d @file http://host/resource

You can check out more information here-> http://curl.haxx.se/


EDITs:

OK. So basically you're looking to stress test your REST server? Then cURL really isn't helpful unless you want to write your own load-testing program, even then sockets would be the way to go. I would suggest you check out Gatling. The Gatling documentation explains how to set up the tool, and from there your can run all kinds of GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests.

Unfortunately, short of writing your own program - i.e. spawning a whole bunch of threads and inundating your REST server with different types of requests - you really have to rely on a stress/load-testing toolkit. Just using a REST client to send requests isn't going to put much stress on your server.


More EDITs

So in order to simulate a post request on a socket, you basically have to build the initial socket connection with the server. I am not a C# guy, so I can't tell you exactly how to do that; I'm sure there are 1001 C# socket tutorials on the web. With most RESTful APIs you usually need to provide a URI to tell the server what to do. For example, let's say your API manages a library, and you are using a POST request to tell the server to update information about a book with an id of '34'. Your URI might be

http://localhost/library/book/34

Therefore, you should open a connection to localhost on port 80 (or 8080, or whatever port your server is on), and pass along an HTML request header. Going with the library example above, your request header might look as follows:

POST library/book/34 HTTP/1.0\r\n
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Referer: localhost\r\n
Content-length: 36\r\n\r\n
title=Learning+REST&author=Some+Name

From here, the server should shoot back a response header, followed by whatever the API is programed to tell the client - usually something to say the POST succeeded or failed. To stress test your API, you should essentially do this over and over again by creating a threaded process.

Also, if you are posting JSON data, you will have to alter your header and content accordingly. Frankly, if you are looking to do this quick and clean, I would suggest using python (or perl) which has several libraries for creating POST, PUT, GET and DELETE request, as well as POSTing and PUTing JSON data. Otherwise, you might end up doing more programming than stress testing. Hope this helps!

Slide up/down effect with ng-show and ng-animate

This can actually be done in CSS and very minimal JS just by adding a CSS class (don't set styles directly in JS!) with e.g. a ng-clickevent. The principle is that one can't animate height: 0; to height: auto; but this can be tricked by animating the max-height property. The container will expand to it's "auto-height" value when .foo-open is set - no need for fixed height or positioning.

.foo {
    max-height: 0;
}

.foo--open {
    max-height: 1000px; /* some arbitrary big value */
    transition: ...

As a concern raised in the comments, note that while this animation works perfectly with linear easing, any exponential easing will produce a behaviour different from what could be expected - due to the fact that the animated property is max-height and not height itself; specifically, only the height fraction of the easing curve of max-height will be displayed.

How do I redirect a user when a button is clicked?

Just as an addition to the other answers, here is the razor engine syntax:

<input type="button" value="Some text" onclick="@("window.location.href='" + @Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName") + "'");" />

or

window.location.href = '@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName")';

Several ports (8005, 8080, 8009) required by Tomcat Server at localhost are already in use

Your Tomcat is probably running already. That's why you have got an error. I've had the same problem before. I solved it very simply:

  1. Restart your computer
  2. Open Eclipse
  3. Run your Tomcat

That's all.

Convert DataTable to IEnumerable<T>

Universal extension method for DataTable. May be somebody be interesting. Idea creating dynamic properties I take from another post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15819760/8105226

    public static IEnumerable<dynamic> AsEnumerable(this DataTable dt)
    {
        List<dynamic> result = new List<dynamic>();
        Dictionary<string, object> d;
        foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
        {
            d = new Dictionary<string, object>();

            foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)
                d.Add(dc.ColumnName, dr[dc]);

            result.Add(GetDynamicObject(d));
        }
        return result.AsEnumerable<dynamic>();
    }

    public static dynamic GetDynamicObject(Dictionary<string, object> properties)
    {
        return new MyDynObject(properties);
    }

    public sealed class MyDynObject : DynamicObject
    {
        private readonly Dictionary<string, object> _properties;

        public MyDynObject(Dictionary<string, object> properties)
        {
            _properties = properties;
        }

        public override IEnumerable<string> GetDynamicMemberNames()
        {
            return _properties.Keys;
        }

        public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)
        {
            if (_properties.ContainsKey(binder.Name))
            {
                result = _properties[binder.Name];
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                result = null;
                return false;
            }
        }

        public override bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value)
        {
            if (_properties.ContainsKey(binder.Name))
            {
                _properties[binder.Name] = value;
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

Is it a good practice to use an empty URL for a HTML form's action attribute? (action="")

When you put empty action then some security filtration consider it malicious or phishing. Hence they can block your page. So its advisable not to keep action= blank.

how to remove "," from a string in javascript

If U want to delete more than one characters, say comma and dots you can write

  var mystring = "It,is,a,test.string,of.mine" 
  mystring = mystring.replace(/[,.]/g , ''); 
  alert( mystring);
</script>

Search a text file and print related lines in Python?

Note the potential for an out-of-range index with "i+3". You could do something like:

with open("file.txt", "r") as f:
    searchlines = f.readlines()
j=len(searchlines)-1
for i, line in enumerate(searchlines):
    if "searchphrase" in line: 
        k=min(i+3,j)
        for l in searchlines[i:k]: print l,
        print

Edit: maybe not necessary. I just tested some examples. x[y] will give errors if y is out of range, but x[y:z] doesn't seem to give errors for out of range values of y and z.

Casting a number to a string in TypeScript

Use the "+" symbol to cast a string to a number.

React - Preventing Form Submission

preventDefault is what you're looking for. To just block the button from submitting

<Button onClick={this.onClickButton} ...

code

onClickButton (event) {
  event.preventDefault();
}

If you have a form which you want to handle in a custom way you can capture a higher level event onSubmit which will also stop that button from submitting.

<form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>

and above in code

onSubmit (event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  // custom form handling here
}

How to remove first and last character of a string?

Another solution for this issue is use commons-lang (since version 2.0) StringUtils.substringBetween(String str, String open, String close) method. Main advantage is that it's null safe operation.

StringUtils.substringBetween("[wdsd34svdf]", "[", "]"); // returns wdsd34svdf

When to use the JavaScript MIME type application/javascript instead of text/javascript?

The problem with Javascript's MIME type is that there hasn't been a standard for years. Now we've got application/javascript as an official MIME type.

But actually, the MIME type doesn't matter at all, as the browser can determine the type itself. That's why the HTML5 specs state that the type="text/javascript" is no longer required.

Google Maps setCenter()

in your code, at line

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lon), 5);

the setCenter method takes just one parameter, for the lat:long location. Why are you passing two parameters there ?

I suggest you should change it to,

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lon));

Does Java support structs?

Actually a struct in C++ is a class (e.g. you can define methods there, it can be extended, it works exactly like a class), the only difference is that the default access modfiers are set to public (for classes they are set to private by default).

This is really the only difference in C++, many people don't know that. ; )
