An algorithm for reducing the number of points in a curve that is approximated by a series of points

Retrieve column names from java.sql.ResultSet

U can get column name and value from resultSet.getMetaData(); This code work for me:

Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
    try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
        conn = MySQLJDBCUtil.getConnection();
        preparedStatement = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
        if (params != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < params.size(); i++) {
                preparedStatement.setObject(i + 1, params.get(i).getSqlValue());
            }
            ResultSet resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
            ResultSetMetaData md = resultSet.getMetaData();
            while (resultSet.next()) {
                int counter = md.getColumnCount();
                String colName[] = new String[counter];
                Map<String, Object> field = new HashMap<>();
                for (int loop = 1; loop <= counter; loop++) {
                    int index = loop - 1;
                    colName[index] = md.getColumnLabel(loop);
                    field.put(colName[index], resultSet.getObject(colName[index]));
                }
                rows.add(field);
            }
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (preparedStatement != null) {
            try {
                preparedStatement.close();
            }catch (Exception e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        if (conn != null) {
            try {
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
    return rows;

How do I hide an element on a click event anywhere outside of the element?

$('html').click(function() {
//Hide the menus if it is visible
});

$('#menu_container').click(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
});

but you need to keep in mind these things as well. http://css-tricks.com/dangers-stopping-event-propagation/

How to write logs in text file when using java.util.logging.Logger

Here is an example of how to overwrite Logger configuration from the code. Does not require external configuration file ..

FileLoggerTest.java:

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogManager;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class FileLoggerTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            String h = MyLogHandler.class.getCanonicalName();
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.append(".level=ALL\n");
            sb.append("handlers=").append(h).append('\n');
            LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(new ByteArrayInputStream(sb.toString().getBytes("UTF-8")));
        } catch (IOException | SecurityException ex) {
            // Do something about it
        }

        Logger.getGlobal().severe("Global SEVERE log entry");
        Logger.getLogger(FileLoggerTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "This is a SEVERE log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SomeName").log(Level.WARNING, "This is a WARNING log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("AnotherName").log(Level.INFO, "This is an INFO log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SameName").log(Level.CONFIG, "This is an CONFIG log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SameName").log(Level.FINE, "This is an FINE log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SameName").log(Level.FINEST, "This is an FINEST log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SameName").log(Level.FINER, "This is an FINER log entry");
        Logger.getLogger("SameName").log(Level.ALL, "This is an ALL log entry");

    }
}

MyLogHandler.java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;

public final class MyLogHandler extends FileHandler {

    public MyLogHandler() throws IOException, SecurityException {
        super("/tmp/path-to-log.log");
        setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
        setLevel(Level.ALL);
    }

    @Override
    public void publish(LogRecord record) {
        System.out.println("Some additional logic");
        super.publish(record);
    }

}

CardView Corner Radius

NOTE: This here is a workaround if you want to achieve rounded corners at the bottom only and regular corners at the top. This will not work if you want to have different radius for all four corners of the cardview. You will have to use material cardview for it or use some third party library.

Here's what seemed to work for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:background="#F9F9F9">

    <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="200dp"
            android:background="@drawable/profile_bg"/>

    </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

    <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/cvProfileHeader"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:cardCornerRadius="32dp">
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="280dp"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:background="@drawable/profile_bg"
            android:id="@+id/llProfileHeader"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal">

            <!--Enter your code here-->

        </LinearLayout>
    
    </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

</RelativeLayout>

There's two cardview's in all. The second cardview is the one that will have rounded corners (on all sides as usual) and will hold all other subviews under it. The first cardview above it is also at the same level (of elevation), and has the same background but is only about half the height of the second cardview and has no rounded corners (just the usual sharp corners). This way I was able to achieve partially rounded corners on the bottom and normal corners on the top. But for all four sides, you may have to use the material cardview.

You could do the reverse of this to get rounded corners at the top and regular ones at the bottom, i.e. let the first cardview have rounded corners and the second cardview have regular corners.

How can I get the count of line in a file in an efficient way?

Probably the fastest solution in pure Java would be to read the file as bytes using a NIO Channel into large ByteBuffer. Then using your knowledge of the file encoding scheme(s) count the encoded CR and/or NL bytes, per the relevant line separator convention.

The keys to maximising throughput will be:

  • make sure that you read the file in large chunks,
  • avoid copying the bytes from one buffer to another,
  • avoid copying / converting bytes into characters, and
  • avoid allocating objects to represent the file lines.

The actual code is too complicated for me to write on the fly. Besides, the OP is not asking for the fastest solution.

Entity Framework Core: A second operation started on this context before a previous operation completed

you can use SemaphoreSlim to block the next thread that will try to execute that EF call.

static SemaphoreSlim semSlim = new SemaphoreSlim(1, 1);

await semSlim.WaitAsync();
try
{
  // something like this here...
  // EmployeeService.GetList(); or...
  var result = await _ctx.Employees.ToListAsync();
}
finally
{
  semSlim.Release();
}

How to determine the longest increasing subsequence using dynamic programming?

The O(NLog(N)) Approach To Find Longest Increasing Sub sequence
Let us maintain an array where the ith element is the smallest possible number with which a i sized sub sequence can end.

On purpose I am avoiding further details as the top voted answer already explains it, but this technique eventually leads to a neat implementation using the set data structure (at least in c++).

Here is the implementation in c++ (assuming strictly increasing longest sub sequence size is required)

#include <bits/stdc++.h> // gcc supported header to include (almost) everything
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;

int main()
{
  ll n;
  cin >> n;
  ll arr[n];
  set<ll> S;

  for(ll i=0; i<n; i++)
  {
    cin >> arr[i];
    auto it = S.lower_bound(arr[i]);
    if(it != S.end())
      S.erase(it);
    S.insert(arr[i]);
  }

  cout << S.size() << endl; // Size of the set is the required answer

  return 0;
}

What are the differences between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio?

Visual Studio Code is integrated with a command prompt / terminal, hence it will be handy when there is switching between IDE and terminal / command prompt required, for example: connecting to Linux.

Why should I use IHttpActionResult instead of HttpResponseMessage?

Here are several benefits of IHttpActionResult over HttpResponseMessage mentioned in Microsoft ASP.Net Documentation:

  • Simplifies unit testing your controllers.
  • Moves common logic for creating HTTP responses into separate classes.
  • Makes the intent of the controller action clearer, by hiding the low-level details of constructing the response.

But here are some other advantages of using IHttpActionResult worth mentioning:

  • Respecting single responsibility principle: cause action methods to have the responsibility of serving the HTTP requests and does not involve them in creating the HTTP response messages.
  • Useful implementations already defined in the System.Web.Http.Results namely: Ok NotFound Exception Unauthorized BadRequest Conflict Redirect InvalidModelState (link to full list)
  • Uses Async and Await by default.
  • Easy to create own ActionResult just by implementing ExecuteAsync method.
  • you can use ResponseMessageResult ResponseMessage(HttpResponseMessage response) to convert HttpResponseMessage to IHttpActionResult.

What are the most common naming conventions in C?

There could be many, mainly IDEs dictate some trends and C++ conventions are also pushing. For C commonly:

  • UNDERSCORED_UPPER_CASE (macro definitions, constants, enum members)
  • underscored_lower_case (variables, functions)
  • CamelCase (custom types: structs, enums, unions)
  • uncappedCamelCase (oppa Java style)
  • UnderScored_CamelCase (variables, functions under kind of namespaces)

Hungarian notation for globals are fine but not for types. And even for trivial names, please use at least two characters.

Setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin in ASP.Net MVC - simplest possible method

In Web.config enter the following

<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
  <customHeaders>
    <clear />     
    <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" value="true" />
    <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://localhost:123456(etc)" />
  </customHeaders>

Sum the digits of a number

Both lines you posted are fine, but you can do it purely in integers, and it will be the most efficient:

def sum_digits(n):
    s = 0
    while n:
        s += n % 10
        n //= 10
    return s

or with divmod:

def sum_digits2(n):
    s = 0
    while n:
        n, remainder = divmod(n, 10)
        s += remainder
    return s

Even faster is the version without augmented assignments:

def sum_digits3(n):
   r = 0
   while n:
       r, n = r + n % 10, n // 10
   return r

> %timeit sum_digits(n)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 574 ns per loop

> %timeit sum_digits2(n)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 716 ns per loop

> %timeit sum_digits3(n)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 479 ns per loop

> %timeit sum(map(int, str(n)))
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.42 us per loop

> %timeit sum([int(digit) for digit in str(n)])

Constructors in JavaScript objects

http://www.jsoops.net/ is quite good for oop in Js. If provide private, protected, public variable and function, and also Inheritance feature. Example Code:

var ClassA = JsOops(function (pri, pro, pub)
{// pri = private, pro = protected, pub = public

    pri.className = "I am A ";

    this.init = function (var1)// constructor
    {
        pri.className += var1;
    }

    pub.getData = function ()
    {
        return "ClassA(Top=" + pro.getClassName() + ", This=" + pri.getClassName()
        + ", ID=" + pro.getClassId() + ")";
    }

    pri.getClassName = function () { return pri.className; }
    pro.getClassName = function () { return pri.className; }
    pro.getClassId = function () { return 1; }
});

var newA = new ClassA("Class");

//***Access public function
console.log(typeof (newA.getData));
// function
console.log(newA.getData());
// ClassA(Top=I am A Class, This=I am A Class, ID=1)

//***You can not access constructor, private and protected function
console.log(typeof (newA.init));            // undefined
console.log(typeof (newA.className));       // undefined
console.log(typeof (newA.pro));             // undefined
console.log(typeof (newA.getClassName));    // undefined

SSL Connection / Connection Reset with IISExpress

In my case, I was getting this exact error running on port 443, and (for reasons I won't go into here) switching to a different port was not an option. In order to get IIS Express to work on port 443, I had to run this command...

C:\Program Files\IIS Express>IisExpressAdminCmd.exe setupsslUrl -url:https://localhost:443/ -UseSelfSigned

Much thanks to Robert Muehsig for originally posting this solution here.

When to use virtual destructors?

What is a virtual destructor or how to use virtual destructor

A class destructor is a function with same name of the class preceding with ~ that will reallocate the memory that is allocated by the class. Why we need a virtual destructor

See the following sample with some virtual functions

The sample also tell how you can convert a letter to upper or lower

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
// program to convert the lower to upper orlower
class convertch
{
public:
  //void convertch(){};
  virtual char* convertChar() = 0;
  ~convertch(){};
};

class MakeLower :public convertch
{
public:
  MakeLower(char *passLetter)
  {
    tolower = true;
    Letter = new char[30];
    strcpy(Letter, passLetter);
  }

  virtual ~MakeLower()
  {
    cout<< "called ~MakeLower()"<<"\n";
    delete[] Letter;
  }

  char* convertChar()
  {
    size_t len = strlen(Letter);
    for(int i= 0;i<len;i++)
      Letter[i] = Letter[i] + 32;
    return Letter;
  }

private:
  char *Letter;
  bool tolower;
};

class MakeUpper : public convertch
{
public:
  MakeUpper(char *passLetter)
  {
    Letter = new char[30];
    toupper = true;
    strcpy(Letter, passLetter);
  }

  char* convertChar()
  {   
    size_t len = strlen(Letter);
    for(int i= 0;i<len;i++)
      Letter[i] = Letter[i] - 32;
    return Letter;
  }

  virtual ~MakeUpper()
  {
    cout<< "called ~MakeUpper()"<<"\n";
    delete Letter;
  }

private:
  char *Letter;
  bool toupper;
};


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
  convertch *makeupper = new MakeUpper("hai"); 
  cout<< "Eneterd : hai = " <<makeupper->convertChar()<<" ";     
  delete makeupper;
  convertch *makelower = new MakeLower("HAI");;
  cout<<"Eneterd : HAI = " <<makelower->convertChar()<<" "; 
  delete makelower;
  return 0;
}

From the above sample you can see that the destructor for both MakeUpper and MakeLower class is not called.

See the next sample with the virtual destructor

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;
// program to convert the lower to upper orlower
class convertch
{
public:
//void convertch(){};
virtual char* convertChar() = 0;
virtual ~convertch(){}; // defined the virtual destructor

};
class MakeLower :public convertch
{
public:
MakeLower(char *passLetter)
{
tolower = true;
Letter = new char[30];
strcpy(Letter, passLetter);
}
virtual ~MakeLower()
{
cout<< "called ~MakeLower()"<<"\n";
      delete[] Letter;
}
char* convertChar()
{
size_t len = strlen(Letter);
for(int i= 0;i<len;i++)
{
Letter[i] = Letter[i] + 32;

}

return Letter;
}

private:
char *Letter;
bool tolower;

};
class MakeUpper : public convertch
{
public:
MakeUpper(char *passLetter)
{
Letter = new char[30];
toupper = true;
strcpy(Letter, passLetter);
}
char* convertChar()
{

size_t len = strlen(Letter);
for(int i= 0;i<len;i++)
{
Letter[i] = Letter[i] - 32;
}
return Letter;
}
virtual ~MakeUpper()
{
      cout<< "called ~MakeUpper()"<<"\n";
delete Letter;
}
private:
char *Letter;
bool toupper;
};


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

convertch *makeupper = new MakeUpper("hai");

cout<< "Eneterd : hai = " <<makeupper->convertChar()<<" \n";

delete makeupper;
convertch *makelower = new MakeLower("HAI");;
cout<<"Eneterd : HAI = " <<makelower->convertChar()<<"\n ";


delete makelower;
return 0;
}

The virtual destructor will call explicitly the most derived run time destructor of class so that it will be able to clear the object in a proper way.

How to correctly catch change/focusOut event on text input in React.js?

If you want to only trigger validation when the input looses focus you can use onBlur

Trivia: React <17 listens to blur event and >=17 listens to focusout event.

How to program a fractal?

Well, simple and graphically appealing don't really go hand in hand. If you're serious about programming fractals, I suggest reading up on iterated function systems and the advances that have been made in rendering them.

VBA macro that search for file in multiple subfolders

Just for fun, here's a sample with a recursive function which (I hope) should be a bit simpler to understand and to use with your code:

Function Recurse(sPath As String) As String

    Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
    Dim myFolder As Folder
    Dim mySubFolder As Folder

    Set myFolder = FSO.GetFolder(sPath)
    For Each mySubFolder In myFolder.SubFolders
        Call TestSub(mySubFolder.Path)
        Recurse = Recurse(mySubFolder.Path)
    Next

End Function

Sub TestR()

    Call Recurse("D:\Projets\")

End Sub

Sub TestSub(ByVal s As String)

    Debug.Print s

End Sub

Edit: Here's how you can implement this code in your workbook to achieve your objective.

Sub TestSub(ByVal s As String)

    Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
    Dim myFolder As Folder
    Dim myFile As File

    Set myFolder = FSO.GetFolder(s)
    For Each myFile In myFolder.Files
        If myFile.Name = Range("E1").Value Then
            Debug.Print myFile.Name 'Or do whatever you want with the file
        End If
    Next

End Sub

Here, I just debug the name of the found file, the rest is up to you. ;)

Of course, some would say it's a bit clumsy to call twice the FileSystemObject so you could simply write your code like this (depends on wether you want to compartmentalize or not):

Function Recurse(sPath As String) As String

    Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
    Dim myFolder As Folder
    Dim mySubFolder As Folder
    Dim myFile As File

    Set myFolder = FSO.GetFolder(sPath)

    For Each mySubFolder In myFolder.SubFolders
        For Each myFile In mySubFolder.Files
            If myFile.Name = Range("E1").Value Then
                Debug.Print myFile.Name & " in " & myFile.Path 'Or do whatever you want with the file
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        Recurse = Recurse(mySubFolder.Path)
    Next

End Function

Sub TestR()

    Call Recurse("D:\Projets\")

End Sub

PHP cURL not working - WAMP on Windows 7 64 bit

The error is unrelated to PHP. It means you are somehow relying on Apache's mod_deflate, but that Apache module is not loaded. Try enabling mod_deflate in httpd.conf or commenting out the offending line (search for DEFLATE in httpd.conf).

As for the PHP curl extension, you must make sure it's activated in php.ini. Make sure extension_diris set to the directory php_curl.dll is in:

extension_dir = "C:/whatever" and then add

extension=php_curl.dll

How do I delete an item or object from an array using ng-click?

Building on the accepted answer, this will work with ngRepeat, filterand handle expections better:

Controller:

vm.remove = function(item, array) {
  var index = array.indexOf(item);
  if(index>=0)
    array.splice(index, 1);
}

View:

ng-click="vm.remove(item,$scope.bdays)"

TypeError: window.initMap is not a function

I am using React and I had mentioned &callback=initMap in the script as below

<script 
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js? 
key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">
</script>

then is just removed the &callback=initMap part now there is no such error as window.initMap is not a function in the console.

How to use a jQuery plugin inside Vue

You need to use either the globals loader or expose loader to ensure that webpack includes the jQuery lib in your source code output and so that it doesn't throw errors when your use $ in your components.

// example with expose loader:
npm i --save-dev expose-loader

// somewhere, import (require) this jquery, but pipe it through the expose loader
require('expose?$!expose?jQuery!jquery')

If you prefer, you can import (require) it directly within your webpack config as a point of entry, so I understand, but I don't have an example of this to hand

Alternatively, you can use the globals loader like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/globals-loader

PowerShell Remoting giving "Access is Denied" error

Running the command prompt or Powershell ISE as an administrator fixed this for me.

How to rearrange Pandas column sequence?

You could also do something like this:

df = df[['x', 'y', 'a', 'b']]

You can get the list of columns with:

cols = list(df.columns.values)

The output will produce something like this:

['a', 'b', 'x', 'y']

...which is then easy to rearrange manually before dropping it into the first function

How to see the changes in a Git commit?

For checking complete changes:

  git diff <commit_Id_1> <commit_Id_2>

For checking only the changed/added/deleted files:

  git diff <commit_Id_1> <commit_Id_2> --name-only

NOTE: For checking diff without commit in between, you don't need to put the commit ids.

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process (File is created but contains nothing)

You are writing to the file prior to closing your filestream:

using(FileStream fs=new FileStream(path,FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
using (StreamWriter str=new StreamWriter(fs))
{
   str.BaseStream.Seek(0,SeekOrigin.End); 
   str.Write("mytext.txt.........................");
   str.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()+" "+DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString());
   string addtext="this line is added"+Environment.NewLine;

   str.Flush();

}

File.AppendAllText(path,addtext);  //Exception occurrs ??????????
string readtext=File.ReadAllText(path);
Console.WriteLine(readtext);

The above code should work, using the methods you are currently using. You should also look into the using statement and wrap your streams in a using block.

How to run Maven from another directory (without cd to project dir)?

Makefile: How to correctly include header file and its directory?

Try INC_DIR=../ ../StdCUtil.

Then, set CCFLAGS=-c -Wall $(addprefix -I,$(INC_DIR))

EDIT: Also, modify your #include to be #include <StdCUtil/split.h> so that the compiler knows to use -I rather than local path of the .cpp using the #include.

Calling a stored procedure in Oracle with IN and OUT parameters

I had the same problem. I used a trigger and in that trigger I called a procedure which computed some values into 2 OUT variables. When I tried to print the result in the trigger body, nothing showed on screen. But then I solved this problem by making 2 local variables in a function, computed what I need with them and finally, copied those variables in your OUT procedure variables. I hope it'll be useful and successful!

If else in stored procedure sql server

Instead of writing:

Select top 1 ParLngId from T_Param where ParStrNom = 'Extranet Client'

Write:

Select top 1 ParLngId from T_Param where ParStrNom IN 'Extranet Client'

i.e. replace '=' sign by 'IN'

Random number c++ in some range

Since nobody posted the modern C++ approach yet,

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
int main()
{
    std::random_device rd; // obtain a random number from hardware
    std::mt19937 gen(rd()); // seed the generator
    std::uniform_int_distribution<> distr(25, 63); // define the range

    for(int n=0; n<40; ++n)
        std::cout << distr(gen) << ' '; // generate numbers
}

How to determine if a list of polygon points are in clockwise order?

A much computationally simpler method, if you already know a point inside the polygon:

  1. Choose any line segment from the original polygon, points and their coordinates in that order.

  2. Add a known "inside" point, and form a triangle.

  3. Calculate CW or CCW as suggested here with those three points.

Changing plot scale by a factor in matplotlib

As you have noticed, xscale and yscale does not support a simple linear re-scaling (unfortunately). As an alternative to Hooked's answer, instead of messing with the data, you can trick the labels like so:

ticks = ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x, pos: '{0:g}'.format(x*scale))
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticks)

A complete example showing both x and y scaling:

import numpy as np
import pylab as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker

# Generate data
x = np.linspace(0, 1e-9)
y = 1e3*np.sin(2*np.pi*x/1e-9) # one period, 1k amplitude

# setup figures
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(121)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(122)
# plot two identical plots
ax1.plot(x, y)
ax2.plot(x, y)

# Change only ax2
scale_x = 1e-9
scale_y = 1e3
ticks_x = ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x, pos: '{0:g}'.format(x/scale_x))
ax2.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticks_x)

ticks_y = ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x, pos: '{0:g}'.format(x/scale_y))
ax2.yaxis.set_major_formatter(ticks_y)

ax1.set_xlabel("meters")
ax1.set_ylabel('volt')
ax2.set_xlabel("nanometers")
ax2.set_ylabel('kilovolt')

plt.show() 

And finally I have the credits for a picture:

Left: ax1 no scaling, right: ax2 y axis scaled to kilo and x axis scaled to nano

Note that, if you have text.usetex: true as I have, you may want to enclose the labels in $, like so: '${0:g}$'.

Breaking up long strings on multiple lines in Ruby without stripping newlines

I modified Zack's answer since I wanted spaces and interpolation but not newlines and used:

%W[
  It's a nice day "#{name}"
  for a walk!
].join(' ')

where name = 'fred' this produces It's a nice day "fred" for a walk!

How to show one layout on top of the other programmatically in my case?

The answer, given by Alexandru is working quite nice. As he said, it is important that this "accessor"-view is added as the last element. Here is some code which did the trick for me:

        ...

        ...

            </LinearLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

    </FrameLayout>

</LinearLayout>

<!-- place a FrameLayout (match_parent) as the last child -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/icon_frame_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>

</TabHost>

in Java:

final MaterialDialog materialDialog = (MaterialDialog) dialogInterface;

FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) materialDialog
        .findViewById(R.id.icon_frame_container);

frameLayout.setOnTouchListener(
        new OnSwipeTouchListener(ShowCardActivity.this) {

Python: How to convert datetime format?

@Tim's answer only does half the work -- that gets it into a datetime.datetime object.

To get it into the string format you require, you use datetime.strftime:

print(datetime.strftime('%b %d,%Y'))

FCM getting MismatchSenderId

Make sure you remove all the Parse code from your app (libraries, receivers in AndroidManifest, etc). I found that intermittently push notifications were not working. From my observations, it would work on fresh installs but not app updates from the play store.

I believe something internal to Parse was conflicting with FCM (Parse uses GCM, so I'm guessing it had to do with using GCM and FCM simultaneously). As soon as I ripped out all the Parse receivers and libraries, things worked great.

OS X: equivalent of Linux's wget

Instead of going with equivalent, you can try "brew install wget" and use wget.

You need to have brew installed in your mac.

Clang vs GCC for my Linux Development project

I think clang could be an alternative.

GCC and clang have some differences on expressions like a+++++a, and I've got many different answers with my peer who use clang on Mac while I use gcc.

GCC has become the standard, and clang could be an alternative. Because GCC is very stable and clang is still under developing.

Reading Properties file in Java


You can find information on this page:
http://www.mkyong.com/java/java-properties-file-examples/

Properties prop = new Properties();
try {
    //load a properties file from class path, inside static method
    prop.load(App.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.properties"));

    //get the property value and print it out
    System.out.println(prop.getProperty("database"));
    System.out.println(prop.getProperty("dbuser"));
    System.out.println(prop.getProperty("dbpassword"));

} 
catch (IOException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();

How to add a touch event to a UIView?

You can achieve this by adding Gesture Recogniser in your code.

Step 1: ViewController.m:

// Declare the Gesture.
UITapGestureRecognizer *gesRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                          initWithTarget:self 
                                          action:@selector(handleTap:)];
gesRecognizer.delegate = self;

// Add Gesture to your view.
[yourView addGestureRecognizer:gesRecognizer]; 

Step 2: ViewController.m:

// Declare the Gesture Recogniser handler method.
- (void)handleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer{
   NSLog(@"Tapped");
}

NOTE: here yourView in my case was @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *localView;

EDIT: *localView is the white box in Main.storyboard from below

python: unhashable type error

  File "C:\pythonwork\readthefile080410.py", line 120, in medications_minimum3
    counter[row[11]]+=1
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

row[11] is unhashable. It's a list. That is precisely (and only) what the error message means. You might not like it, but that is the error message.

Do this

counter[tuple(row[11])]+=1

Also, simplify.

d= [ row for row in c if counter[tuple(row[11])]>=sample_cutoff ]

how to convert a string to an array in php

here, Use explode() function to convert string into array, by a string

click here to know more about explode()

$str = "this is string";
$delimiter = ' ';  // use any string / character by which, need to split string into Array
$resultArr = explode($delimiter, $str);  
var_dump($resultArr);

Output :

Array
(
    [0] => "this",
    [1] => "is",
    [2] => "string "
)

it is same as the requirements:

  arr[0]="this";
  arr[1]="is";
  arr[2]="string";

@font-face src: local - How to use the local font if the user already has it?

I haven’t actually done anything with font-face, so take this with a pinch of salt, but I don’t think there’s any way for the browser to definitively tell if a given web font installed on a user’s machine or not.

The user could, for example, have a different font with the same name installed on their machine. The only way to definitively tell would be to compare the font files to see if they’re identical. And the browser couldn’t do that without downloading your web font first.

Does Firefox download the font when you actually use it in a font declaration? (e.g. h1 { font: 'DejaVu Serif';)?

How to generate a git patch for a specific commit?

Good NumericUpDown equivalent in WPF?

If commercial solutions are ok, you may consider this control set: WPF Elements by Mindscape

It contains such a spin control and alternatively (my personal preference) a spin-decorator, that can decorate various numeric controls (like IntegerTextBox, NumericTextBox, also part of the control set) in XAML like this:

<WpfElements:SpinDecorator>
   <WpfElements:IntegerTextBox Text="{Binding Foo}" />
</WpfElements:SpinDecorator>

Which command do I use to generate the build of a Vue app?

To deploy your application to prod environment add

"build": "vue-cli-service build --mode prod"

in your scripts in package.json file.

Open your main.js and add

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

right after your imports. Then open your cli in the project folder and run this command

npm run build

This will make a dist folder in your project directory you may upload that dist folder in your host and your website will be live

urlencoded Forward slash is breaking URL

Here's my humble opinion. !!!! Don't !!!! change settings on the server to make your parameters work correctly. This is a time bomb waiting to happen someday when you change servers.

The best way I have found is to just convert the parameter to base 64 encoding. So in my case, I'm calling a php service from Angular and passing a parameter that could contain any value.

So my typescript code in the client looks like this:

    private encodeParameter(parm:string){
    if (!parm){
        return null;
    }
    return btoa(parm);
}

And to retrieve the parameter in php:

    $item_name = $request->getAttribute('item_name');
    $item_name = base64_decode($item_name); 

MYSQL Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value

If you're getting this problem with an insert that looks like the one below, the problem may simply be the lack of a space between -- and the comment text:

insert into myTable (a, b, c)
values (
   123 --something
  ,345 --something else
  ,567 --something something else
);

The problem with this is that the --something should actually be -- something with a space.

How to automatically crop and center an image

What is the correct way to create a single-instance WPF application?

MSDN actually has a sample application for both C# and VB to do exactly this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms771662(v=VS.90).aspx

The most common and reliable technique for developing single-instance detection is to use the Microsoft .NET Framework remoting infrastructure (System.Remoting). The Microsoft .NET Framework (version 2.0) includes a type, WindowsFormsApplicationBase, which encapsulates the required remoting functionality. To incorporate this type into a WPF application, a type needs to derive from it, and be used as a shim between the application static entry point method, Main, and the WPF application's Application type. The shim detects when an application is first launched, and when subsequent launches are attempted, and yields control the WPF Application type to determine how to process the launches.

  • For C# people just take a deep breath and forget about the whole 'I don't wanna include VisualBasic DLL'. Because of this and what Scott Hanselman says and the fact that this pretty much is the cleanest solution to the problem and is designed by people who know a lot more about the framework than you do.
  • From a usability standpoint the fact is if your user is loading an application and it is already open and you're giving them an error message like 'Another instance of the app is running. Bye' then they're not gonna be a very happy user. You simply MUST (in a GUI application) switch to that application and pass in the arguments provided - or if command line parameters have no meaning then you must pop up the application which may have been minimized.

The framework already has support for this - its just that some idiot named the DLL Microsoft.VisualBasic and it didn't get put into Microsoft.ApplicationUtils or something like that. Get over it - or open up Reflector.

Tip: If you use this approach exactly as is, and you already have an App.xaml with resources etc. you'll want to take a look at this too.

Call to undefined function mysql_query() with Login

You are mixing mysql and mysqli

Change these lines:

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."' and password = '".md5($_POST['password'])."'");
$row = mysql_num_rows($sql);

to

$sql = mysqli_query($success, "SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."' and password = '".md5($_POST['password'])."'");
$row = mysqli_num_rows($sql);

Counting the number of files in a directory using Java

Since Java 8, you can do that in three lines:

try (Stream<Path> files = Files.list(Paths.get("your/path/here"))) {
    long count = files.count();
}

Regarding the 5000 child nodes and inode aspects:

This method will iterate over the entries but as Varkhan suggested you probably can't do better besides playing with JNI or direct system commands calls, but even then, you can never be sure these methods don't do the same thing!

However, let's dig into this a little:

Looking at JDK8 source, Files.list exposes a stream that uses an Iterable from Files.newDirectoryStream that delegates to FileSystemProvider.newDirectoryStream.

On UNIX systems (decompiled sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.class), it loads an iterator: A sun.nio.fs.UnixSecureDirectoryStream is used (with file locks while iterating through the directory).

So, there is an iterator that will loop through the entries here.

Now, let's look to the counting mechanism.

The actual count is performed by the count/sum reducing API exposed by Java 8 streams. In theory, this API can perform parallel operations without much effort (with multihtreading). However the stream is created with parallelism disabled so it's a no go...

The good side of this approach is that it won't load the array in memory as the entries will be counted by an iterator as they are read by the underlying (Filesystem) API.

Finally, for the information, conceptually in a filesystem, a directory node is not required to hold the number of the files that it contains, it can just contain the list of it's child nodes (list of inodes). I'm not an expert on filesystems, but I believe that UNIX filesystems work just like that. So you can't assume there is a way to have this information directly (i.e: there can always be some list of child nodes hidden somewhere).

check if file exists in php

file_exists checks whether a file exist in the specified path or not.

Syntax:

file_exists ( string $filename )

Returns TRUE if the file or directory specified by filename exists; FALSE otherwise.

$filename = BASE_DIR."images/a/test.jpg";
if (file_exists($filename)){
    echo "File exist.";
}else{
    echo "File does not exist.";
}

Another alternative method you can use getimagesize(), it will return 0(zero) if file/directory is not available in the specified path.

if (@getimagesize($filename)) {...}

Java Project: Failed to load ApplicationContext

I've faced this issue because during bootstrapping my spring project using the class that implements ApplicationListener<ContextRefreshedEvent> and inside onApplicationEvent function it throws an exception

so make sure that your application bootstrap points do not throw any exception

in my case, I was using maven surefire plugin for testing so to debug the test process use this command

mvn -Dmaven.surefire.debug test

Transport endpoint is not connected

I have exactly the same problem. I haven't found a solution anywhere, but I have been able to fix it without rebooting by simply unmounting and remounting the mountpoint.

For your system the commands would be:

fusermount -uz /data
mount /data

The -z forces the unmount, which solved the need to reboot for me. You may need to do this as sudo depending on your setup. You may encounter the below error if the command does not have the required elevated permissions:

fusermount: entry for /data not found in /etc/mtab

Issue with parsing the content from json file with Jackson & message- JsonMappingException -Cannot deserialize as out of START_ARRAY token

Your JSON string is malformed: the type of center is an array of invalid objects. Replace [ and ] with { and } in the JSON string around longitude and latitude so they will be objects:

[
    {
        "name" : "New York",
        "number" : "732921",
        "center" : {
                "latitude" : 38.895111, 
                "longitude" : -77.036667
            }
    },
    {
        "name" : "San Francisco",

Upper memory limit?

(This is my third answer because I misunderstood what your code was doing in my original, and then made a small but crucial mistake in my second—hopefully three's a charm.

Edits: Since this seems to be a popular answer, I've made a few modifications to improve its implementation over the years—most not too major. This is so if folks use it as template, it will provide an even better basis.

As others have pointed out, your MemoryError problem is most likely because you're attempting to read the entire contents of huge files into memory and then, on top of that, effectively doubling the amount of memory needed by creating a list of lists of the string values from each line.

Python's memory limits are determined by how much physical ram and virtual memory disk space your computer and operating system have available. Even if you don't use it all up and your program "works", using it may be impractical because it takes too long.

Anyway, the most obvious way to avoid that is to process each file a single line at a time, which means you have to do the processing incrementally.

To accomplish this, a list of running totals for each of the fields is kept. When that is finished, the average value of each field can be calculated by dividing the corresponding total value by the count of total lines read. Once that is done, these averages can be printed out and some written to one of the output files. I've also made a conscious effort to use very descriptive variable names to try to make it understandable.

try:
    from itertools import izip_longest
except ImportError:    # Python 3
    from itertools import zip_longest as izip_longest

GROUP_SIZE = 4
input_file_names = ["A1_B1_100000.txt", "A2_B2_100000.txt", "A1_B2_100000.txt",
                    "A2_B1_100000.txt"]
file_write = open("average_generations.txt", 'w')
mutation_average = open("mutation_average", 'w')  # left in, but nothing written

for file_name in input_file_names:
    with open(file_name, 'r') as input_file:
        print('processing file: {}'.format(file_name))

        totals = []
        for count, fields in enumerate((line.split('\t') for line in input_file), 1):
            totals = [sum(values) for values in
                        izip_longest(totals, map(float, fields), fillvalue=0)]
        averages = [total/count for total in totals]

        for print_counter, average in enumerate(averages):
            print('  {:9.4f}'.format(average))
            if print_counter % GROUP_SIZE == 0:
                file_write.write(str(average)+'\n')

file_write.write('\n')
file_write.close()
mutation_average.close()

how to configure config.inc.php to have a loginform in phpmyadmin

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

should work.

From the manual:

auth_type = 'cookie' prompts for a MySQL username and password in a friendly HTML form. This is also the only way by which one can log in to an arbitrary server (if $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] is enabled). Cookie is good for most installations (default in pma 3.1+), it provides security over config and allows multiple users to use the same phpMyAdmin installation. For IIS users, cookie is often easier to configure than http.

Javascript ajax call on page onload

Or with Prototype:

Event.observe(this, 'load', function() { new Ajax.Request(... ) );

Or better, define the function elsewhere rather than inline, then:

Event.observe(this, 'load', functionName );

You don't have to use jQuery or Prototype specifically, but I hope you're using some kind of library. Either library is going to handle the event handling in a more consistent manner than onload, and of course is going to make it much easier to process the Ajax call. If you must use the body onload attribute, then you should just be able to call the same function as referenced in these examples (onload="javascript:functionName();").

However, if your database update doesn't depend on the rendering on the page, why wait until it's fully loaded? You could just include a call to the Ajax-calling function at the end of the JavaScript on the page, which should give nearly the same effect.

File name without extension name VBA

To be verbose it the removal of extension is demonstrated for workbooks.. which now have a variety of extensions . . a new unsaved Book1 has no ext . works the same for files

Function WorkbookIsOpen(FWNa$, Optional AnyExt As Boolean = False) As Boolean

Dim wWB As Workbook, WBNa$, PD%
FWNa = Trim(FWNa)
If FWNa <> "" Then
    For Each wWB In Workbooks
        WBNa = wWB.Name
        If AnyExt Then
            PD = InStr(WBNa, ".")
            If PD > 0 Then WBNa = Left(WBNa, PD - 1)
            PD = InStr(FWNa, ".")
            If PD > 0 Then FWNa = Left(FWNa, PD - 1)
            '
            ' the alternative of using split..  see commented out  below
            ' looks neater but takes a bit longer then the pair of instr and left
            ' VBA does about 800,000  of these small splits/sec
            ' and about 20,000,000  Instr Lefts per sec
            ' of course if not checking for other extensions they do not matter
            ' and to any reasonable program
            ' THIS DISCUSSIONOF TIME TAKEN DOES NOT MATTER
            ' IN doing about doing 2000 of this routine per sec

            ' WBNa = Split(WBNa, ".")(0)
            'FWNa = Split(FWNa, ".")(0)
        End If

        If WBNa = FWNa Then
            WorkbookIsOpen = True
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next wWB
End If

End Function

Locking pattern for proper use of .NET MemoryCache

Its a bit late, however... Full implementation:

    [HttpGet]
    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> GetPageFromUriOrBody(RequestQuery requestQuery)
    {
        log(nameof(GetPageFromUriOrBody), nameof(requestQuery));
        var responseResult = await _requestQueryCache.GetOrCreate(
            nameof(GetPageFromUriOrBody)
            , requestQuery
            , (x) => getPageContent(x).Result);
        return Request.CreateResponse(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Accepted, responseResult);
    }
    static MemoryCacheWithPolicy<RequestQuery, string> _requestQueryCache = new MemoryCacheWithPolicy<RequestQuery, string>();

Here is getPageContent signature:

async Task<string> getPageContent(RequestQuery requestQuery);

And here is the MemoryCacheWithPolicy implementation:

public class MemoryCacheWithPolicy<TParameter, TResult>
{
    static ILogger _nlogger = new AppLogger().Logger;
    private MemoryCache _cache = new MemoryCache(new MemoryCacheOptions() 
    {
        //Size limit amount: this is actually a memory size limit value!
        SizeLimit = 1024 
    });

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or creates a new memory cache record for a main data
    /// along with parameter data that is assocciated with main main.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="key">Main data cache memory key.</param>
    /// <param name="param">Parameter model that assocciated to main model (request result).</param>
    /// <param name="createCacheData">A delegate to create a new main data to cache.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public async Task<TResult> GetOrCreate(object key, TParameter param, Func<TParameter, TResult> createCacheData)
    {
        // this key is used for param cache memory.
        var paramKey = key + nameof(param);

        if (!_cache.TryGetValue(key, out TResult cacheEntry))
        {
            // key is not in the cache, create data through the delegate.
            cacheEntry = createCacheData(param);
            createMemoryCache(key, cacheEntry, paramKey, param);

            _nlogger.Warn(" cache is created.");
        }
        else
        {
            // data is chached so far..., check if param model is same (or changed)?
            if(!_cache.TryGetValue(paramKey, out TParameter cacheParam))
            {
                //exception: this case should not happened!
            }

            if (!cacheParam.Equals(param))
            {
                // request param is changed, create data through the delegate.
                cacheEntry = createCacheData(param);
                createMemoryCache(key, cacheEntry, paramKey, param);
                _nlogger.Warn(" cache is re-created (param model has been changed).");
            }
            else
            {
                _nlogger.Trace(" cache is used.");
            }

        }
        return await Task.FromResult<TResult>(cacheEntry);
    }
    MemoryCacheEntryOptions createMemoryCacheEntryOptions(TimeSpan slidingOffset, TimeSpan relativeOffset)
    {
        // Cache data within [slidingOffset] seconds, 
        // request new result after [relativeOffset] seconds.
        return new MemoryCacheEntryOptions()

            // Size amount: this is actually an entry count per 
            // key limit value! not an actual memory size value!
            .SetSize(1)

            // Priority on removing when reaching size limit (memory pressure)
            .SetPriority(CacheItemPriority.High)

            // Keep in cache for this amount of time, reset it if accessed.
            .SetSlidingExpiration(slidingOffset)

            // Remove from cache after this time, regardless of sliding expiration
            .SetAbsoluteExpiration(relativeOffset);
        //
    }
    void createMemoryCache(object key, TResult cacheEntry, object paramKey, TParameter param)
    {
        // Cache data within 2 seconds, 
        // request new result after 5 seconds.
        var cacheEntryOptions = createMemoryCacheEntryOptions(
            TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)
            , TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));

        // Save data in cache.
        _cache.Set(key, cacheEntry, cacheEntryOptions);

        // Save param in cache.
        _cache.Set(paramKey, param, cacheEntryOptions);
    }
    void checkCacheEntry<T>(object key, string name)
    {
        _cache.TryGetValue(key, out T value);
        _nlogger.Fatal("Key: {0}, Name: {1}, Value: {2}", key, name, value);
    }
}

nlogger is just nLog object to trace MemoryCacheWithPolicy behavior. I re-create the memory cache if request object (RequestQuery requestQuery) is changed through the delegate (Func<TParameter, TResult> createCacheData) or re-create when sliding or absolute time reached their limit. Note that everything is async too ;)

When to use Common Table Expression (CTE)

One example, if you need to reference/join the same data set multiple times you can do so by defining a CTE. Therefore, it can be a form of code re-use.

An example of self referencing is recursion: Recursive Queries Using CTE

For exciting Microsoft definitions Taken from Books Online:

A CTE can be used to:

  • Create a recursive query. For more information, see Recursive Queries Using Common Table Expressions.

  • Substitute for a view when the general use of a view is not required; that is, you do not have to store the definition in metadata.

  • Enable grouping by a column that is derived from a scalar subselect, or a function that is either not deterministic or has external access.

  • Reference the resulting table multiple times in the same statement.

How to iterate a table rows with JQuery and access some cell values?

$("tr.item").each(function() {
  $this = $(this);
  var value = $this.find("span.value").html();
  var quantity = $this.find("input.quantity").val();
});

memcpy() vs memmove()

The code given in the links http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/memcpy for memcpy seems to confuse me a bit, as it does not give the same output when I implemented it using the below example.

#include <memory.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char str1[11] = "abcdefghij";

void *memcpyCustom(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
    char *dp = (char *)dest;
    const char *sp = (char *)src;
    while (n--)
        *dp++ = *sp++;
    return dest;
}

void *memmoveCustom(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n)
{
    unsigned char *pd = (unsigned char *)dest;
    const unsigned char *ps = (unsigned char *)src;
    if ( ps < pd )
        for (pd += n, ps += n; n--;)
            *--pd = *--ps;
    else
        while(n--)
            *pd++ = *ps++;
    return dest;
}

int main( void )
{
    printf( "The string: %s\n", str1 );
    memcpy( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Actual memcpy output: %s\n", str1 );

    strcpy_s( str1, sizeof(str1), "abcdefghij" );   // reset string

    memcpyCustom( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Implemented memcpy output: %s\n", str1 );

    strcpy_s( str1, sizeof(str1), "abcdefghij" );   // reset string

    memmoveCustom( str1 + 1, str1, 9 );
    printf( "Implemented memmove output: %s\n", str1 );
    getchar();
}

Output :

The string: abcdefghij
Actual memcpy output: aabcdefghi
Implemented memcpy output: aaaaaaaaaa
Implemented memmove output: aabcdefghi

But you can now understand why memmove will take care of overlapping issue.

Entity Framework is Too Slow. What are my options?

We have an similar application (Wcf -> EF -> database) that does 120 Requests per second easily, so I am more than sure that EF is not your problem here, that being said, I have seen major performance improvements with compiled queries.

Ruby Array find_first object?

Do you need the object itself or do you just need to know if there is an object that satisfies. If the former then yes: use find:

found_object = my_array.find { |e| e.satisfies_condition? }

otherwise you can use any?

found_it = my_array.any?  { |e| e.satisfies_condition? }

The latter will bail with "true" when it finds one that satisfies the condition. The former will do the same, but return the object.

Get total number of items on Json object?

Is that your actual code? A javascript object (which is what you've given us) does not have a length property, so in this case exampleArray.length returns undefined rather than 5.

This stackoverflow explains the length differences between an object and an array, and this stackoverflow shows how to get the 'size' of an object.

How to check if a value exists in an object using JavaScript

The simple answer to this is given below.

This is working because every JavaScript type has a “constructor” property on it prototype”.

let array = []
array.constructor === Array
// => true


let data = {}
data.constructor === Object
// => true

Correct way to set Bearer token with CURL

This is a cURL function that can send or retrieve data. It should work with any PHP app that supports OAuth:

    function jwt_request($token, $post) {

       header('Content-Type: application/json'); // Specify the type of data
       $ch = curl_init('https://APPURL.com/api/json.php'); // Initialise cURL
       $post = json_encode($post); // Encode the data array into a JSON string
       $authorization = "Authorization: Bearer ".$token; // Prepare the authorisation token
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json' , $authorization )); // Inject the token into the header
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // Specify the request method as POST
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); // Set the posted fields
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); // This will follow any redirects
       $result = curl_exec($ch); // Execute the cURL statement
       curl_close($ch); // Close the cURL connection
       return json_decode($result); // Return the received data

    }

Use it within one-way or two-way requests:

$token = "080042cad6356ad5dc0a720c18b53b8e53d4c274"; // Get your token from a cookie or database
$post = array('some_trigger'=>'...','some_values'=>'...'); // Array of data with a trigger
$request = jwt_request($token,$post); // Send or retrieve data

mySQL convert varchar to date

As gratitude to the timely help I got from here - a minor update to above.

$query = "UPDATE `db`.`table` SET `fieldname`=  str_to_date(  fieldname, '%d/%m/%Y')";

How can I select multiple columns from a subquery (in SQL Server) that should have one record (select top 1) for each record in the main query?

i think that is what you want.

SELECT 
      A.SalesOrderID, 
      A.OrderDate, 
      FooFromB.*

FROM A,
     (SELECT TOP 1 B.Foo
      FROM B
      WHERE A.SalesOrderID = B.SalesOrderID
      ) AS FooFromB

WHERE A.Date BETWEEN '2000-1-4' AND '2010-1-4'

Can I install Python 3.x and 2.x on the same Windows computer?

I'm using 2.5, 2.6, and 3.0 from the shell with one line batch scripts of the form:

:: The @ symbol at the start turns off the prompt from displaying the command.
:: The % represents an argument, while the * means all of them.
@c:\programs\pythonX.Y\python.exe %*

Name them pythonX.Y.bat and put them somewhere in your PATH. Copy the file for the preferred minor version (i.e. the latest) to pythonX.bat. (E.g. copy python2.6.bat python2.bat.) Then you can use python2 file.py from anywhere.

However, this doesn't help or even affect the Windows file association situation. For that you'll need a launcher program that reads the #! line, and then associate that with .py and .pyw files.

Loading another html page from javascript

You can include a .js file which has the script to set the

window.location.href = url;

Where url would be the url you wish to load.

jquery mobile background image

With JQM 1.4.2 this one works for me (Change theme to the used one):

.ui-page-theme-b, .ui-page-theme-b .ui-panel-wrapper {
    background: transparent url(../img/xxx) !important;
    background-repeat:repeat !important;
}

space between divs - display table-cell

Make a new div with whatever name (I will just use table-split) and give it a width, without adding content to it, while placing it between necessary divs that need to be separated.

You can add whatever width you find necessary. I just used 0.6% because it's what I needed for when I had to do this.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.table-split {_x000D_
  display: table-cell;_x000D_
  width: 0.6%_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="table-split"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Closing Applications

What role do they play when exiting an application in C#?

The same as every other application. Basically they get returned to the caller. Irrelvant if ythe start was an iicon double click. Relevant is the call is a batch file that decides whether the app worked on the return code. SO, unless you write a program that needs this, the return dcode IS irrelevant.

But what is the difference?

One comes from environment one from the System.Windows.Forms?.Application. Functionall there should not bbe a lot of difference.

How to use pip with python 3.4 on windows?

Assuming you don't have any other Python installations, you should be able to do python -m pip after a default installation. Something like the following should be in your system path:

C:\Python34\Scripts

This would obviously be different, if you installed Python in a different location.

How can I return NULL from a generic method in C#?

Your other option would be to to add this to the end of your declaration:

    where T : class
    where T: IList

That way it will allow you to return null.

How do I exit from a function?

Use the return keyword.

From MSDN:

The return statement terminates execution of the method in which it appears and returns control to the calling method. It can also return the value of the optional expression. If the method is of the type void, the return statement can be omitted.

So in your case, the usage would be:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (textBox1.Text == "" || textBox2.Text == "" || textBox3.Text == "")
    {
        return; //exit this event
    }
}

How do I detect if software keyboard is visible on Android Device or not?

It works with adjustNothing flag of activity and lifecycle events are used. Also with Kotlin:

/**
 * This class uses a PopupWindow to calculate the window height when the floating keyboard is opened and closed
 *
 * @param activity The parent activity
 *  The root activity that uses this KeyboardManager
 */
class KeyboardManager(private val activity: AppCompatActivity) : PopupWindow(activity), LifecycleObserver {

    private var observerList = mutableListOf<((keyboardTop: Int) -> Unit)>()

    /** The last value of keyboardTop */
    private var keyboardTop: Int = 0

    /** The view that is used to calculate the keyboard top  */
    private val popupView: View?

    /** The parent view  */
    private var parentView: View

    var isKeyboardShown = false
        private set

    /**
     * Create transparent view which will be stretched over to the full screen
     */
    private fun createFullScreenView(): View {
        val view = LinearLayout(activity)
        view.layoutParams = LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
        view.background = ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT)
        return view
    }

    init {
        this.popupView = createFullScreenView()
        contentView = popupView

        softInputMode = LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE or LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE
        inputMethodMode = INPUT_METHOD_NEEDED

        parentView = activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content)

        width = 0
        height = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT

        popupView.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener {
            val rect = Rect()
            popupView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect)

            val keyboardTop = rect.bottom
            if (this.keyboardTop != keyboardTop) {
                isKeyboardShown = keyboardTop < this.keyboardTop
                this.keyboardTop = keyboardTop
                observerList.forEach { it(keyboardTop) }
            }
        }
        activity.lifecycle.addObserver(this)
    }

    /**
     * This must be called after the onResume of the Activity or inside view.post { } .
     * PopupWindows are not allowed to be registered before the onResume has finished
     * of the Activity
     */
    @OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_RESUME)
    fun start() {
        parentView.post {
            if (!isShowing && parentView.windowToken != null) {
                setBackgroundDrawable(ColorDrawable(0))
                showAtLocation(parentView, Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, 0, 0)
            }
        }
    }

    /**

}

Useful method to keep view always above the keyboard

fun KeyboardManager.updateBottomMarginIfKeyboardShown(
        view: View,
        activity: AppCompatActivity,
        // marginBottom of view when keyboard is hide
        marginBottomHideKeyboard: Int,

What can I use for good quality code coverage for C#/.NET?

I just tested out NCrunch and have to say I am very impressed. It is a continuous testing tool that will add code coverage to your code in Visual Studio at almost real time. At the time as I write this NCrunch is free. It is a little unclear if it going to be free, cost money or be opened source in the future though.

Cannot connect to SQL Server named instance from another SQL Server

Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for, but it worked for me. After spinning my wheels in Windows Firewall, I went back into SQL Server Configuration Manager, checked SQL Server Network Configuration, in the protocols for the instance I was working with look at TCP/IP. By default it seems mine was set to disabled, which allowed for instance connections on the local machine but not using SSMS on another machine. Enabling TCP/IP did the trick for me.

Embedding Base64 Images

Update: 2017-01-10

Data URIs are now supported by all major browsers. IE supports embedding images since version 8 as well.

http://caniuse.com/#feat=datauri


Data URIs are now supported by the following web browsers:

  • Gecko-based, such as Firefox, SeaMonkey, XeroBank, Camino, Fennec and K-Meleon
  • Konqueror, via KDE's KIO slaves input/output system
  • Opera (including devices such as the Nintendo DSi or Wii)
  • WebKit-based, such as Safari (including on iOS), Android's browser, Epiphany and Midori (WebKit is a derivative of Konqueror's KHTML engine, but Mac OS X does not share the KIO architecture so the implementations are different), as well as Webkit/Chromium-based, such as Chrome
  • Trident
    • Internet Explorer 8: Microsoft has limited its support to certain "non-navigable" content for security reasons, including concerns that JavaScript embedded in a data URI may not be interpretable by script filters such as those used by web-based email clients. Data URIs must be smaller than 32 KiB in Version 8[3].
    • Data URIs are supported only for the following elements and/or attributes[4]:
      • object (images only)
      • img
      • input type=image
      • link
    • CSS declarations that accept a URL, such as background-image, background, list-style-type, list-style and similar.
    • Internet Explorer 9: Internet Explorer 9 does not have 32KiB limitation and allowed in broader elements.
    • TheWorld Browser: An IE shell browser which has a built-in support for Data URI scheme

Splitting applicationContext to multiple files

There are two types of contexts we are dealing with:

1: root context (parent context. Typically include all jdbc(ORM, Hibernate) initialisation and other spring security related configuration)

2: individual servlet context (child context.Typically Dispatcher Servlet Context and initialise all beans related to spring-mvc (controllers , URL Mapping etc)).

Here is an example of web.xml which includes multiple application context file

How to make a transparent border using CSS?

You can also use border-style: double with background-clip: padding-box, without the use of any extra (pseudo-)elements. It's probably the most compact solution, but not as flexible as the others.

For example:

<div class="circle">Some text goes here...</div>

.circle{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    padding: 50px;
    border-radius: 200px;
    border: double 15px rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
    background: rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
    background-clip: padding-box;
}

Result

If you look closely you can see that the edge between the border and the background is not perfect. This seems to be an issue in current browsers. But it's not that noticeable when the border is small.

how to delete a specific row in codeigniter?

You are using an $id variable in your model, but your are plucking it from nowhere. You need to pass the $id variable from your controller to your model.

Controller

Lets pass the $id to the model via a parameter of the row_delete() method.

function delete_row()
{
   $this->load->model('mod1');

   // Pass the $id to the row_delete() method
   $this->mod1->row_delete($id);


   redirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);  
}

Model

Add the $id to the Model methods parameters.

function row_delete($id)
{
   $this->db->where('id', $id);
   $this->db->delete('testimonials'); 
}

The problem now is that your passing the $id variable from your controller, but it's not declared anywhere in your controller.

How do I write to the console from a Laravel Controller?

If you want the fancy command IO from Laravel (like styling, asking and table) then I created this class below

Instructions

I have not fully verified everywhere that it is THE cleanest solution etc, but it works nice (but I only tested it from within a unit test case, under Laravel 5.5).

So most probably you can use it however you like:

$cmd = new ConsoleCommand;

$cmd->error("Aw snap!");
$cmd->table($headers, $rows);
$answer = $cmd->ask("Tell me, what do you need?");

//even Symfony's progress bar
$cmd->outputStyle->progressStart(5);  //set n = 100% (here 100% is 5 steps)
$cmd->outputStyle->progressAdvance(); //you can call it n times
$cmd->outputStyle->progressFinish();  //set to 100%

Or course you can also wrap in your own facade, or some static singleton etc, or anyway you wish.

The class itself

class ConsoleCommand extends \Illuminate\Console\Command
{
    protected $name = 'NONEXISTENT';
    protected $hidden = true;

    public $outputSymfony;
    public $outputStyle;

    public function __construct($argInput = null)
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->input = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Input\StringInput($argInput);

        $this->outputSymfony = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput();
        $this->outputStyle = new \Illuminate\Console\OutputStyle($this->input, $this->outputSymfony);

        $this->output = $this->outputStyle;
    }

}

Random alpha-numeric string in JavaScript?

This function should give a random string in any length.

function randString(length) {
    var l = length > 25 ? 25 : length;
    var str = Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, l);
    if(str.length >= length){
        return str;
    }
    return str.concat(this.randString(length - str.length));
}

I've tested it with the following test that succeeded.

function test(){
    for(var x = 0; x < 300000; x++){
        if(randString(x).length != x){
            throw new Error('invalid result for len ' + x);
        }
    }
}

The reason i have chosen 25 is since that in practice the length of the string returned from Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 25) has length 25. This number can be changed as you wish.

This function is recursive and hence calling the function with very large values can result with Maximum call stack size exceeded. From my testing i was able to get string in the length of 300,000 characters.

This function can be converted to a tail recursion by sending the string to the function as a second parameter. I'm not sure if JS uses Tail call optimization

String.equals() with multiple conditions (and one action on result)

No,its check like if string is "john" OR "mary" OR "peter" OR "etc."

you should check using ||

Like.,,if(str.equals("john") || str.equals("mary") || str.equals("peter"))

Setting up MySQL and importing dump within Dockerfile

I used docker-entrypoint-initdb.d approach (Thanks to @Kuhess) But in my case I want to create my DB based on some parameters I defined in .env file so I did these

1) First I define .env file something like this in my docker root project directory

MYSQL_DATABASE=my_db_name
MYSQL_USER=user_test
MYSQL_PASSWORD=test
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test
MYSQL_PORT=3306

2) Then I define my docker-compose.yml file. So I used the args directive to define my environment variables and I set them from .env file

version: '2'
services:
### MySQL Container
    mysql:
        build:
            context: ./mysql
            args:
                - MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
                - MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
                - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
                - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
        ports:
            - "${MYSQL_PORT}:3306"

3) Then I define a mysql folder that includes a Dockerfile. So the Dockerfile is this

FROM mysql:5.7
RUN chown -R mysql:root /var/lib/mysql/

ARG MYSQL_DATABASE
ARG MYSQL_USER
ARG MYSQL_PASSWORD
ARG MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD

ENV MYSQL_DATABASE=$MYSQL_DATABASE
ENV MYSQL_USER=$MYSQL_USER
ENV MYSQL_PASSWORD=$MYSQL_PASSWORD
ENV MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD

ADD data.sql /etc/mysql/data.sql
RUN sed -i 's/MYSQL_DATABASE/'$MYSQL_DATABASE'/g' /etc/mysql/data.sql
RUN cp /etc/mysql/data.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

EXPOSE 3306

4) Now I use mysqldump to dump my db and put the data.sql inside mysql folder

mysqldump -h <server name> -u<user> -p <db name> > data.sql

The file is just a normal sql dump file but I add 2 lines at the beginning so the file would look like this

--
-- Create a database using `MYSQL_DATABASE` placeholder
--
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `MYSQL_DATABASE`;
USE `MYSQL_DATABASE`;

-- Rest of queries
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `x`;
CREATE TABLE `x` (..)
LOCK TABLES `x` WRITE;
INSERT INTO `x` VALUES ...;
...
...
...

So what happening is that I used "RUN sed -i 's/MYSQL_DATABASE/'$MYSQL_DATABASE'/g' /etc/mysql/data.sql" command to replace the MYSQL_DATABASE placeholder with the name of my DB that I have set it in .env file.

|- docker-compose.yml
|- .env
|- mysql
     |- Dockerfile
     |- data.sql

Now you are ready to build and run your container

Download File to server from URL

  1. Create a folder called "downloads" in destination server
  2. Save [this code] into .php file and run in destination server

Downloader :

<html>
<form method="post">
<input name="url" size="50" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
    // maximum execution time in seconds
    set_time_limit (24 * 60 * 60);

    if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) die();

    // folder to save downloaded files to. must end with slash
    $destination_folder = 'downloads/';

    $url = $_POST['url'];
    $newfname = $destination_folder . basename($url);

    $file = fopen ($url, "rb");
    if ($file) {
      $newf = fopen ($newfname, "wb");

      if ($newf)
      while(!feof($file)) {
        fwrite($newf, fread($file, 1024 * 8 ), 1024 * 8 );
      }
    }

    if ($file) {
      fclose($file);
    }

    if ($newf) {
      fclose($newf);
    }
?>
</html> 

Transposing a 2D-array in JavaScript

Just another variation using Array.map. Using indexes allows to transpose matrices where M != N:

// Get just the first row to iterate columns first
var t = matrix[0].map(function (col, c) {
    // For each column, iterate all rows
    return matrix.map(function (row, r) { 
        return matrix[r][c]; 
    }); 
});

All there is to transposing is mapping the elements column-first, and then by row.

Where to place and how to read configuration resource files in servlet based application?

You can you with your source folder so whenever you build, those files are automatically copied to the classes directory.

Instead of using properties file, use XML file.

If the data is too small, you can even use web.xml for accessing the properties.

Please note that any of these approach will require app server restart for changes to be reflected.

Timeout on a function call

I have a different proposal which is a pure function (with the same API as the threading suggestion) and seems to work fine (based on suggestions on this thread)

def timeout(func, args=(), kwargs={}, timeout_duration=1, default=None):
    import signal

    class TimeoutError(Exception):
        pass

    def handler(signum, frame):
        raise TimeoutError()

    # set the timeout handler
    signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler) 
    signal.alarm(timeout_duration)
    try:
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
    except TimeoutError as exc:
        result = default
    finally:
        signal.alarm(0)

    return result

Checking if a folder exists using a .bat file

For a file:

if exist yourfilename (
  echo Yes 
) else (
  echo No
)

Replace yourfilename with the name of your file.

For a directory:

if exist yourfoldername\ (
  echo Yes 
) else (
  echo No
)

Replace yourfoldername with the name of your folder.

A trailing backslash (\) seems to be enough to distinguish between directories and ordinary files.

Remove spacing between table cells and rows

I had a similar problem and I solved it by (inline)styling the td element as follows :

<td style="display: block;"> 

This will work although its not the best practice. In my case I was working on a old template that had been styled using HTML tables.

MySQL select rows where left join is null

One of the best approach if you do not want to return any columns from table2 is to use the NOT EXISTS

SELECT  table1.id 
FROM    table1 T1
WHERE
  NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
              FROM table2 T2
              WHERE T1.id = T2.user_one
                  OR T1.id = T2.user_two)

Semantically this says what you want to query: Select every row where there is no matching record in the second table.

MySQL is optimized for EXISTS: It returns as soon as it finds the first matching record.

When should you use constexpr capability in C++11?

Suppose it does something a little more complicated.

constexpr int MeaningOfLife ( int a, int b ) { return a * b; }

const int meaningOfLife = MeaningOfLife( 6, 7 );

Now you have something that can be evaluated down to a constant while maintaining good readability and allowing slightly more complex processing than just setting a constant to a number.

It basically provides a good aid to maintainability as it becomes more obvious what you are doing. Take max( a, b ) for example:

template< typename Type > constexpr Type max( Type a, Type b ) { return a < b ? b : a; }

Its a pretty simple choice there but it does mean that if you call max with constant values it is explicitly calculated at compile time and not at runtime.

Another good example would be a DegreesToRadians function. Everyone finds degrees easier to read than radians. While you may know that 180 degrees is 3.14159265 (Pi) in radians it is much clearer written as follows:

const float oneeighty = DegreesToRadians( 180.0f );

Lots of good info here:

Difference between "@id/" and "@+id/" in Android

@id/ and @android:id/ is not the same.

@id/ referencing ID in your application, @android:id/ referencing an item in Android platform.

How do I get the YouTube video ID from a URL?

I simplified Lasnv's answer a bit.

It also fixes the bug that WebDeb describes.

Here it is:

var regExp = /^.*(youtu\.be\/|v\/|u\/\w\/|embed\/|watch\?v=|\&v=)([^#\&\?]*).*/;
var match = url.match(regExp);
if (match && match[2].length == 11) {
  return match[2];
} else {
  //error
}

Post order traversal of binary tree without recursion

Here is the Java implementation with two stacks

public static <T> List<T> iPostOrder(BinaryTreeNode<T> root) {
    if (root == null) {
        return Collections.emptyList();
    }
    List<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();
    Deque<BinaryTreeNode<T>> firstLevel = new LinkedList<BinaryTreeNode<T>>();
    Deque<BinaryTreeNode<T>> secondLevel = new LinkedList<BinaryTreeNode<T>>();
    firstLevel.push(root);
    while (!firstLevel.isEmpty()) {
        BinaryTreeNode<T> node = firstLevel.pop();
        secondLevel.push(node);
        if (node.hasLeftChild()) {
            firstLevel.push(node.getLeft());
        }
        if (node.hasRightChild()) {
            firstLevel.push(node.getRight());
        }
    }
    while (!secondLevel.isEmpty()) {
        result.add(secondLevel.pop().getData());            
    }       
    return result;
}

Here is the unit tests

@Test
public void iterativePostOrderTest() {
    BinaryTreeNode<Integer> bst = BinaryTreeUtil.<Integer>fromInAndPostOrder(new Integer[]{4,2,5,1,6,3,7}, new Integer[]{4,5,2,6,7,3,1});
    assertThat(BinaryTreeUtil.iPostOrder(bst).toArray(new Integer[0]), equalTo(new Integer[]{4,5,2,6,7,3,1}));

Return Type for jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql, object, classType)

List<Conversation> conversations = **jdbcTemplate**.**queryForList**(
            **SQL_QUERY**,
            new Object[] {userId, dateFrom, dateTo});  //placeholders values

Suppose the sql query is like

SQL_QUERY = "**select** info,count(*),IF(info is null , 'DATA' , 'NO DATA') **from** table where userId=? , dateFrom=? , dateTo=?";

**HERE userId=? , dateFrom=? , dateTo=?**

the question marks are place holders

**SQL_QUERY**,
            new Object[] {userId, dateFrom, dateTo});

It will go as an object array along with the sql query

Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB)

In a Chrome extension, you can use

chrome.webRequest.onHeadersReceived.addListener

to rewrite the server response headers. You can either replace an existing header or add an additional header. This is the header you want:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

https://developers.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest#event-onHeadersReceived

I was stuck on CORB issues, and this fixed it for me.

Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect)

I was also receiving such an exception, but the problem was in my Entity identifier. I am using UUID and there are some problems in the way Spring works with them. So I just added this line to my entity identifier and it began working:

@Column(columnDefinition = "BINARY(16)")

Here you can find a little bit more information.

How to convert URL parameters to a JavaScript object?

Edit

This edit improves and explains the answer based on the comments.

var search = location.search.substring(1);
JSON.parse('{"' + decodeURI(search).replace(/"/g, '\\"').replace(/&/g, '","').replace(/=/g,'":"') + '"}')

Example

Parse abc=foo&def=%5Basf%5D&xyz=5 in five steps:

  • decodeURI: abc=foo&def=[asf]&xyz=5
  • Escape quotes: same, as there are no quotes
  • Replace &: abc=foo","def=[asf]","xyz=5
  • Replace =: abc":"foo","def":"[asf]","xyz":"5
  • Suround with curlies and quotes: {"abc":"foo","def":"[asf]","xyz":"5"}

which is legal JSON.

An improved solution allows for more characters in the search string. It uses a reviver function for URI decoding:

var search = location.search.substring(1);
JSON.parse('{"' + search.replace(/&/g, '","').replace(/=/g,'":"') + '"}', function(key, value) { return key===""?value:decodeURIComponent(value) })

Example

search = "abc=foo&def=%5Basf%5D&xyz=5&foo=b%3Dar";

gives

Object {abc: "foo", def: "[asf]", xyz: "5", foo: "b=ar"}

Original answer

A one-liner:

JSON.parse('{"' + decodeURI("abc=foo&def=%5Basf%5D&xyz=5".replace(/&/g, "\",\"").replace(/=/g,"\":\"")) + '"}')

remove all variables except functions

I wrote this to remove all objects apart from functions from the current environment (Programming language used is R with IDE R-Studio):

    remove_list=c()                             # create a vector

      for(i in 1:NROW(ls())){                   # repeat over all objects in environment
        if(class(get(ls()[i]))!="function"){    # if object is *not* a function
         remove_list=c(remove_list,ls()[i])     # ..add to vector remove_list
         }    
      }

    rm(list=remove_list)                        # remove all objects named in remove_list

Notes-

The argument "list" in rm(list=) must be a character vector.

The name of an object in position i of the current environment is returned from ls()[i] and the object itself from get(ls()[i]). Therefore the class of an object is returned from class(get(ls()[i]))

React - Component Full Screen (with height 100%)

I had the same issue displaying my side navigation panel height to 100%.

My steps to fix it was to:

In the index.css file ------

.html {
   height: 100%;
}
.body {
   height:100%;
}

In the sidePanel.css (this was giving me issues):

.side-panel {
   height: 100%;
   position: fixed; <--- this is what made the difference and scaled to 100% correctly
}

Other attributes were taken out for clarity, but I think the issue lies with scaling the height to 100% in nested containers like how you are trying to scale height in your nested containers. The parent classes height will need to be applied the 100%. - What i'm curious about is why fixed: position corrects the scale and fails without it; this is something i'll learn eventually with some more practice.

I've been working with react for a week now and i'm a novice to web developing, but I wanted to share a fix that I discovered with scaling height to 100%; I hope this helps you or anyone who has a similar issue. Good luck!

How do I change the text size in a label widget, python tkinter

Try passing width=200 as additional paramater when creating the Label.

This should work in creating label with specified width.

If you want to change it later, you can use:

label.config(width=200)

As you want to change the size of font itself you can try:

label.config(font=("Courier", 44))

No process is on the other end of the pipe (SQL Server 2012)

So, I had this recently also, for integrated security, It turns out that my issue was actually fairly simple to fix but mainly because I had forgotten to add "Trusted_Connection=True" to my connection string.

I know that may seem fairly obvious but it had me going for 20 minutes or so until I realised that I had copied my connection string format from connectionstrings.com and that portion of the connection string was missing.

Simple and I feel a bit daft, but it was the answer for me.

Bootstrap 3 breakpoints and media queries

for bootstrap 3 I have the following code in my navbar component

/**
 * Navbar styling.
 */
@mobile:          ~"screen and (max-width: @{screen-xs-max})";
@tablet:          ~"screen and (min-width: @{screen-sm-min})";
@normal:          ~"screen and (min-width: @{screen-md-min})";
@wide:            ~"screen and (min-width: @{screen-lg-min})";
@grid-breakpoint: ~"screen and (min-width: @{grid-float-breakpoint})";

then you can use something like

@media wide { selector: style }

This uses whatever value you have the variables set to.

Escaping allows you to use any arbitrary string as property or variable value. Anything inside ~"anything" or ~'anything' is used as is with no changes except interpolation.

Get $_POST from multiple checkboxes

It's pretty simple. Pay attention and you'll get it right away! :)

You will create a html array, which will be then sent to php array. Your html code will look like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="check_list[1]" alt="Checkbox" value="checked">
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list[2]" alt="Checkbox" value="checked">
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list[3]" alt="Checkbox" value="checked">

Where [1] [2] [3] are the IDs of your messages, meaning that you will echo your $row['Report ID'] in their place.

Then, when you submit the form, your PHP array will look like this:

print_r($check_list)

[1] => checked [3] => checked

Depending on which were checked and which were not.

I'm sure you can continue from this point forward.

How to keep keys/values in same order as declared?

You can't really do what you want with a dictionary. You already have the dictionary d = {'ac':33, 'gw':20, 'ap':102, 'za':321, 'bs':10}created. I found there was no way to keep in order once it is already created. What I did was make a json file instead with the object:

{"ac":33,"gw":20,"ap":102,"za":321,"bs":10}

I used:

r = json.load(open('file.json'), object_pairs_hook=OrderedDict)

then used:

print json.dumps(r)

to verify.

How do I use raw_input in Python 3

Plotting a python dict in order of key values

Python dictionaries are unordered. If you want an ordered dictionary, use collections.OrderedDict

In your case, sort the dict by key before plotting,

import matplotlib.pylab as plt

lists = sorted(d.items()) # sorted by key, return a list of tuples

x, y = zip(*lists) # unpack a list of pairs into two tuples

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

Here is the result. enter image description here

Change size of text in text input tag?

This works, too.

<input style="width:300px; height:55px; font-size:50px;" />

A CSS stylesheet looks better though, and can easily be used over multiple pages.

Mapping list in Yaml to list of objects in Spring Boot

I had referenced this article and many others and did not find a clear cut concise response to help. I am offering my discovery, arrived at with some references from this thread, in the following:

Spring-Boot version: 1.3.5.RELEASE

Spring-Core version: 4.2.6.RELEASE

Dependency Management: Brixton.SR1

The following is the pertinent yaml excerpt:

tools:
  toolList:
    - 
      name: jira
      matchUrl: http://someJiraUrl
    - 
      name: bamboo
      matchUrl: http://someBambooUrl

I created a Tools.class:

@Component
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "tools")
public class Tools{
    private List<Tool> toolList = new ArrayList<>();
    public Tools(){
      //empty ctor
    }

    public List<Tool> getToolList(){
        return toolList;
    }

    public void setToolList(List<Tool> tools){
       this.toolList = tools;
    }
}

I created a Tool.class:

@Component
public class Tool{
    private String name;
    private String matchUrl;

    public Tool(){
      //empty ctor
    }

    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name){
       this.name= name;
    }
    public String getMatchUrl(){
        return matchUrl;
    }

    public void setMatchUrl(String matchUrl){
       this.matchUrl= matchUrl;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString(){
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        String ls = System.lineSeparator();
        sb.append(ls);
        sb.append("name:  " + name);
        sb.append(ls);
        sb.append("matchUrl:  " + matchUrl);
        sb.append(ls);
    }
}

I used this combination in another class through @Autowired

@Component
public class SomeOtherClass{

   private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SomeOtherClass.class);

Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor error

I've got this error when I accidentally defined a property as a specific object type, instead of the interface type I have defined in UnityContainer.

For example:

Defining UnityContainer:

var container = new UnityContainer();
container.RegisterInstance(typeof(IDashboardRepository), DashboardRepository);
config.DependencyResolver = new UnityResolver(container);

SiteController (the wrong way - notice repo type):

private readonly DashboardRepository _repo;

public SiteController(DashboardRepository repo)
{
    _repo = repo;
}

SiteController (the right way):

private readonly IDashboardRepository _repo;

public SiteController(IDashboardRepository repo)
{
    _repo = repo;
}

How do I sort a two-dimensional (rectangular) array in C#?

So your array is structured like this (I'm gonna talk in pseudocode because my C#-fu is weak, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm saying)

string values[rows][columns]

So value[1][3] is the value at row 1, column 3.

You want to sort by column, so the problem is that your array is off by 90 degrees.

As a first cut, could you just rotate it?

std::string values_by_column[columns][rows];

for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
  for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
    values_by_column[column][row] = values[row][column]

sort_array(values_by_column[column])

for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
  for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
    values[row][column] = values_by_column[column][row]

If you know you only want to sort one column at a time, you could optimize this a lot by just extracting the data you want to sort:

  string values_to_sort[rows]
  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
    values_to_sort[i] = values[i][column_to_sort]

  sort_array(values_to_sort)

  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
    values[i][column_to_sort] = values_to_sort[i]

In C++ you could play tricks with how to calculate offsets into the array (since you could treat your two-dimensional array as a one-d array) but I'm not sure how to do that in c#.

How to create a cron job using Bash automatically without the interactive editor?

There have been a lot of good answers around the use of crontab, but no mention of a simpler method, such as using cron.

Using cron would take advantage of system files and directories located at /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.daily,weekly,hourly or /etc/cron.d/:

cat > /etc/cron.d/<job> << EOF
SHELL=/bin/bash 
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin 
MAILTO=root HOME=/  
01 * * * * <user> <command>
EOF

In this above example, we created a file in /etc/cron.d/, provided the environment variables for the command to execute successfully, and provided the user for the command, and the command itself. This file should not be executable and the name should only contain alpha-numeric and hyphens (more details below).

To give a thorough answer though, let's look at the differences between crontab vs cron/crond:

crontab -- maintain tables for driving cron for individual users

For those who want to run the job in the context of their user on the system, using crontab may make perfect sense.

cron -- daemon to execute scheduled commands

For those who use configuration management or want to manage jobs for other users, in which case we should use cron.

A quick excerpt from the manpages gives you a few examples of what to and not to do:

/etc/crontab and the files in /etc/cron.d must be owned by root, and must not be group- or other-writable. In contrast to the spool area, the files under /etc/cron.d or the files under /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly and /etc/cron.monthly may also be symlinks, provided that both the symlink and the file it points to are owned by root. The files under /etc/cron.d do not need to be executable, while the files under /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly and /etc/cron.monthly do, as they are run by run-parts (see run-parts(8) for more information).

Source: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/cron.8.html

Managing crons in this manner is easier and more scalable from a system perspective, but will not always be the best solution.

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

If you installed it using the PKG installer, you can do:

pkgutil --pkgs

or better:

pkgutil --pkgs | grep org.python.Python

which will output something like:

org.python.Python.PythonApplications-2.7
org.python.Python.PythonDocumentation-2.7
org.python.Python.PythonFramework-2.7
org.python.Python.PythonProfileChanges-2.7
org.python.Python.PythonUnixTools-2.7

you can now select which packages you will unlink (remove).

This is the unlink documentation:

 --unlink package-id
             Unlinks (removes) each file referenced by package-id. WARNING: This command makes no attempt to perform reference counting or dependency analy-
             sis. It can easily remove files required by your system. It may include unexpected files due to package tainting. Use the --files command first
             to double check.

In my example you will type

pkgutil --unlink org.python.Python.PythonApplications-2.7
pkgutil --unlink org.python.Python.PythonDocumentation-2.7
pkgutil --unlink org.python.Python.PythonFramework-2.7
pkgutil --unlink org.python.Python.PythonProfileChanges-2.7
pkgutil --unlink org.python.Python.PythonUnixTools-2.7

or in one single line:

pkgutil --pkgs | grep org.python.Python | xargs -L1 pkgutil -f --unlink

Important: --unlink is not available anymore starting with Lion (as of Q1`2014 that would include Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks). If anyone that comes to this instructions try to use it with lion, should try instead to adapt it with what this post is saying: https://wincent.com/wiki/Uninstalling_packages_(.pkg_files)_on_Mac_OS_X

"The file "MyApp.app" couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it" when running app in Xcode 6 Beta 4

I've had this error with a number of my older projects that I am getting out of the cupboard to update. It seems that using Xcode 6 with older code seems to bring this about for some reason.

I have fixed this in all projects that I have done this with by:

  1. Delete Derived Data
  2. in Product: do a clean
  3. go to Build Settings in the project Target and go to Build Options and change the value of the "Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C" to 'Default Compiler'.

What are the differences between delegates and events?

An Event declaration adds a layer of abstraction and protection on the delegate instance. This protection prevents clients of the delegate from resetting the delegate and its invocation list and only allows adding or removing targets from the invocation list.

How to force uninstallation of windows service

There are plenty of forum questions in that subject.

I have found the answer in windows api. You don't need to restart the computer after uninstalling the service. You have to call:

BOOL WINAPI CloseServiceHandle(
  SC_HANDLE hSCObject
);

That closes the handle of the service. On windows 7 it solved my problem. I do:

  • stop service
  • close handle
  • uninstall service
  • wait 3 sec
  • copy new exe to the directory
  • install the service
  • start service
  • close handle

MySQL root access from all hosts

if you have many networks attached to you OS, yo must especify one of this network in the bind-addres from my.conf file. an example:

[mysqld]
bind-address = 127.100.10.234

this ip is from a ethX configuration.

How to set input type date's default value to today?

I had the same problem and I fixed it with simple JS. The input:

<input type="date" name="dateOrder" id="dateOrder"  required="required">

the JS

<script language="javascript">
document.getElementById('dateOrder').value = "<?php echo date("Y-m-d"); ?>";
</script>

Important: the JS script should be in the last code line, or after to input, because if you put this code before, the script won't find your input.

Dynamic variable names in Bash

An extra method that doesn't rely on which shell/bash version you have is by using envsubst. For example:

newvar=$(echo '$magic_variable_'"${dynamic_part}" | envsubst)

Javascript loading CSV file into an array

If your not overly worried about the size of the file then it may be easier for you to store the data as a JS object in another file and import it in your . Either synchronously or asynchronously using the syntax <script src="countries.js" async></script>. Saves on you needing to import the file and parse it.

However, i can see why you wouldnt want to rewrite 10000 entries so here's a basic object orientated csv parser i wrote.

function requestCSV(f,c){return new CSVAJAX(f,c);};
function CSVAJAX(filepath,callback)
{
    this.request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    this.request.timeout = 10000;
    this.request.open("GET", filepath, true);
    this.request.parent = this;
    this.callback = callback;
    this.request.onload = function() 
    {
        var d = this.response.split('\n'); /*1st separator*/
        var i = d.length;
        while(i--)
        {
            if(d[i] !== "")
                d[i] = d[i].split(','); /*2nd separator*/
            else
                d.splice(i,1);
        }
        this.parent.response = d;
        if(typeof this.parent.callback !== "undefined")
            this.parent.callback(d);
    };
    this.request.send();
};

Which can be used like this;

var foo = requestCSV("csvfile.csv",drawlines(lines)); 

The first parameter is the file, relative to the position of your html file in this case. The second parameter is an optional callback function the runs when the file has been completely loaded.

If your file has non-separating commmas then it wont get on with this, as it just creates 2d arrays by chopping at returns and commas. You might want to look into regexp if you need that functionality.

//THIS works 

"1234","ABCD" \n
"!@£$" \n

//Gives you 
[
 [
  1234,
  'ABCD'
 ],
 [
  '!@£$'
 ]
]

//This DOESN'T!

"12,34","AB,CD" \n
"!@,£$" \n

//Gives you

[
 [
  '"12',
  '34"',
  '"AB',
  'CD'
 ]
 [
  '"!@',
  '£$'
 ]
]

If your not used to the OO methods; they create a new object (like a number, string, array) with their own local functions and variables via a 'constructor' function. Very handy in certain situations. This function could be used to load 10 different files with different callbacks all at the same time(depending on your level of csv love! )

Bootstrap fixed header and footer with scrolling body-content area in fluid-container

Add the following css to disable the default scroll:

body {
    overflow: hidden;
}

And change the #content css to this to make the scroll only on content body:

#content {
    max-height: calc(100% - 120px);
    overflow-y: scroll;
    padding: 0px 10%;
    margin-top: 60px;
}

Delete all data rows from an Excel table (apart from the first)

This VBA Sub will delete all data rows (apart from the first, which it will just clear) -

Sub DeleteTableRows(ByRef Table as ListObject)

        '** Work out the current number of rows in the table
        On Error Resume Next                    ' If there are no rows, then counting them will cause an error
        Dim Rows As Integer
        Rows = Table.DataBodyRange.Rows.Count   ' Cound the number of rows in the table
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then                 ' Check to see if there has been an error
            Rows = 0                            ' Set rows to 0, as the table is empty
            Err.Clear                           ' Clear the error

Throwing exceptions from constructors

Apart from the fact that you do not need to throw from the constructor in your specific case because pthread_mutex_lock actually returns an EINVAL if your mutex has not been initialized and you can throw after the call to lock as is done in std::mutex:

void
lock()
{
  int __e = __gthread_mutex_lock(&_M_mutex);

  // EINVAL, EAGAIN, EBUSY, EINVAL, EDEADLK(may)
  if (__e)
__throw_system_error(__e);
}

then in general throwing from constructors is ok for acquisition errors during construction, and in compliance with RAII ( Resource-acquisition-is-Initialization ) programming paradigm.

Check this example on RAII

void write_to_file (const std::string & message) {
    // mutex to protect file access (shared across threads)
    static std::mutex mutex;

    // lock mutex before accessing file
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex);

    // try to open file
    std::ofstream file("example.txt");
    if (!file.is_open())
        throw std::runtime_error("unable to open file");

    // write message to file
    file << message << std::endl;

    // file will be closed 1st when leaving scope (regardless of exception)
    // mutex will be unlocked 2nd (from lock destructor) when leaving
    // scope (regardless of exception)
}

Focus on these statements:

  1. static std::mutex mutex
  2. std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex);
  3. std::ofstream file("example.txt");

The first statement is RAII and noexcept. In (2) it is clear that RAII is applied on lock_guard and it actually can throw , whereas in (3) ofstream seems not to be RAII , since the objects state has to be checked by calling is_open() that checks the failbit flag.

At first glance it seems that it is undecided on what it the standard way and in the first case std::mutex does not throw in initialization , *in contrast to OP implementation * . In the second case it will throw whatever is thrown from std::mutex::lock, and in the third there is no throw at all.

Notice the differences:

(1) Can be declared static, and will actually be declared as a member variable (2) Will never actually be expected to be declared as a member variable (3) Is expected to be declared as a member variable, and the underlying resource may not always be available.

All these forms are RAII; to resolve this, one must analyse RAII.

  • Resource : your object
  • Acquisition ( allocation ) : you object being created
  • Initialization : your object is in its invariant state

This does not require you to initialize and connect everything on construction. For example when you would create a network client object you would not actually connect it to the server upon creation, since it is a slow operation with failures. You would instead write a connect function to do just that. On the other hand you could create the buffers or just set its state.

Therefore, your issue boils down to defining your initial state. If in your case your initial state is mutex must be initialized then you should throw from the constructor. In contrast it is just fine not to initialize then ( as is done in std::mutex ), and define your invariant state as mutex is created . At any rate the invariant is not compromized necessarily by the state of its member object, since the mutex_ object mutates between locked and unlocked through the Mutex public methods Mutex::lock() and Mutex::unlock().

class Mutex {
private:
  int e;
  pthread_mutex_t mutex_;

public:
  Mutex(): e(0) {
  e = pthread_mutex_init(&mutex_);
  }

  void lock() {

    e = pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_);
    if( e == EINVAL ) 
    { 
      throw MutexInitException();
    }
    else (e ) {
      throw MutexLockException();
    }
  }

  // ... the rest of your class
};

create multiple tag docker image

How not to do it:

When building an image, you could also tag it this way.

docker build -t ubuntu:14.04 .

Then you build it again with another tag:

docker build -t ubuntu:latest .

If your Dockerfile makes good use of the cache, the same image should come out, and it effectively does the same as retagging the same image. If you do docker images then you will see that they have the same ID.

There's probably a case where this goes wrong though... But like @david-braun said, you can't create tags with Dockerfiles themselves, just with the docker command.
