Breaking a list into multiple columns in Latex

I've had multenum for "Multi-column enumerated lists" recommended to me, but I've never actually used it myself, yet.

Edit: The syntax doesn't exactly look like you could easily copy+paste lists into the LaTeX code. So, it may not be the best solution for your use case!

Difference between @click and v-on:click Vuejs

There is no difference between the two, one is just a shorthand for the second.

The v- prefix serves as a visual cue for identifying Vue-specific attributes in your templates. This is useful when you are using Vue.js to apply dynamic behavior to some existing markup, but can feel verbose for some frequently used directives. At the same time, the need for the v- prefix becomes less important when you are building an SPA where Vue.js manages every template.

<!-- full syntax -->
<a v-on:click="doSomething"></a>
<!-- shorthand -->
<a @click="doSomething"></a>

When to favor ng-if vs. ng-show/ng-hide?

The answer is not simple:

It depends on the target machines (mobile vs desktop), it depends on the nature of your data, the browser, the OS, the hardware it runs on... you will need to benchmark if you really want to know.

It is mostly a memory vs computation problem ... as with most performance issues the difference can become significant with repeated elements (n) like lists, especially when nested (n x n, or worse) and also what kind of computations you run inside these elements:

  • ng-show: If those optional elements are often present (dense), like say 90% of the time, it may be faster to have them ready and only show/hide them, especially if their content is cheap (just plain text, nothing to compute or load). This consumes memory as it fills the DOM with hidden elements, but just show/hide something which already exists is likely to be a cheap operation for the browser.

  • ng-if: If on the contrary elements are likely not to be shown (sparse) just build them and destroy them in real time, especially if their content is expensive to get (computations/sorted/filtered, images, generated images). This is ideal for rare or 'on-demand' elements, it saves memory in terms of not filling the DOM but can cost a lot of computation (creating/destroying elements) and bandwidth (getting remote content). It also depends on how much you compute in the view (filtering/sorting) vs what you already have in the model (pre-sorted/pre-filtered data).

Truncate with condition

No, TRUNCATE is all or nothing. You can do a DELETE FROM <table> WHERE <conditions> but this loses the speed advantages of TRUNCATE.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I encountered the same problem, probably when I uninstalled it and tried to install it again. This happens because of the database file containing login details is still stored in the pc, and the new password will not match the older one. So you can solve this by just uninstalling mysql, and then removing the left over folder from the C: drive (or wherever you must have installed).

Regex Named Groups in Java

A bit old question but I found myself needing this also and that the suggestions above were inaduquate - and as such - developed a thin wrapper myself: https://github.com/hofmeister/MatchIt

Angular 2 declaring an array of objects

type NumberArray = Array<{id: number, text: string}>;

const arr: NumberArray = [
    {id: 0, text: 'Number 0'},
    {id: 1, text: 'Number 1'},
    {id: 2, text: 'Number 2'},
    {id: 3, text: 'Number 3 '},
    {id: 4, text: 'Number 4 '},
    {id: 5, text: 'Number 5 '},
];

Recursively find all files newer than a given time

You can find every file what is created/modified in the last day, use this example:

find /directory -newermt $(date +%Y-%m-%d -d '1 day ago') -type f -print

for finding everything in the last week, use '1 week ago' or '7 day ago' anything you want

Deserializing JSON to .NET object using Newtonsoft (or LINQ to JSON maybe?)

With the dynamic keyword, it becomes really easy to parse any object of this kind:

dynamic x = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);
var page = x.page;
var total_pages = x.total_pages
var albums = x.albums;
foreach(var album in albums)
{
    var albumName = album.name;

    // Access album data;
}

Converting bool to text in C++

As long as strings can be viewed directly as a char array it's going to be really hard to convince me that std::string represents strings as first class citizens in C++.

Besides, combining allocation and boundedness seems to be a bad idea to me anyways.

How can I specify working directory for popen

subprocess.Popen takes a cwd argument to set the Current Working Directory; you'll also want to escape your backslashes ('d:\\test\\local'), or use r'd:\test\local' so that the backslashes aren't interpreted as escape sequences by Python. The way you have it written, the \t part will be translated to a tab.

So, your new line should look like:

subprocess.Popen(r'c:\mytool\tool.exe', cwd=r'd:\test\local')

To use your Python script path as cwd, import os and define cwd using this:

os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) 

Find files and tar them (with spaces)

Would add a comment to @Steve Kehlet post but need 50 rep (RIP).

For anyone that has found this post through numerous googling, I found a way to not only find specific files given a time range, but also NOT include the relative paths OR whitespaces that would cause tarring errors. (THANK YOU SO MUCH STEVE.)

find . -name "*.pdf" -type f -mtime 0 -printf "%f\0" | tar -czvf /dir/zip.tar.gz --null -T -
  1. . relative directory

  2. -name "*.pdf" look for pdfs (or any file type)

  3. -type f type to look for is a file

  4. -mtime 0 look for files created in last 24 hours

  5. -printf "%f\0" Regular -print0 OR -printf "%f" did NOT work for me. From man pages:

This quoting is performed in the same way as for GNU ls. This is not the same quoting mechanism as the one used for -ls and -fls. If you are able to decide what format to use for the output of find then it is normally better to use '\0' as a terminator than to use newline, as file names can contain white space and newline characters.

  1. -czvf create archive, filter the archive through gzip , verbosely list files processed, archive name

Edit 2019-08-14: I would like to add, that I was also able to use essentially use the same command in my comment, just using tar itself:

tar -czvf /archiveDir/test.tar.gz --newer-mtime=0 --ignore-failed-read *.pdf

Needed --ignore-failed-read in-case there were no new PDFs for today.

Convert Java Date to UTC String

tl;dr

You asked:

I was looking for a one-liner like:

Ask and ye shall receive. Convert from terrible legacy class Date to its modern replacement, Instant.

myJavaUtilDate.toInstant().toString()

2020-05-05T19:46:12.912Z

java.time

In Java 8 and later we have the new java.time package built in (Tutorial). Inspired by Joda-Time, defined by JSR 310, and extended by the ThreeTen-Extra project.

The best solution is to sort your date-time objects rather than strings. But if you must work in strings, read on.

An Instant represents a moment on the timeline, basically in UTC (see class doc for precise details). The toString implementation uses the DateTimeFormatter.ISO_INSTANT format by default. This format includes zero, three, six or nine digits digits as needed to display fraction of a second up to nanosecond precision.

String output = Instant.now().toString(); // Example: '2015-12-03T10:15:30.120Z'

If you must interoperate with the old Date class, convert to/from java.time via new methods added to the old classes. Example: Date::toInstant.

myJavaUtilDate.toInstant().toString()

You may want to use an alternate formatter if you need a consistent number of digits in the fractional second or if you need no fractional second.

Another route if you want to truncate fractions of a second is to use ZonedDateTime instead of Instant, calling its method to change the fraction to zero.

Note that we must specify a time zone for ZonedDateTime (thus the name). In our case that means UTC. The subclass of ZoneID, ZoneOffset, holds a convenient constant for UTC. If we omit the time zone, the JVM’s current default time zone is implicitly applied.

String output = ZonedDateTime.now( ZoneOffset.UTC ).withNano( 0 ).toString();  // Example: 2015-08-27T19:28:58Z

Table of date-time types in Java, both modern and legacy


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes. Hibernate 5 & JPA 2.2 support java.time.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?


Joda-Time

UPDATE: The Joda -Time project is now in maintenance mode, with the team advising migration to the java.time classes.

I was looking for a one-liner

Easy if using the Joda-Time 2.3 library. ISO 8601 is the default formatting.

Time Zone

In the code example below, note that I am specifying a time zone rather than depending on the default time zone. In this case, I'm specifying UTC per your question. The Z on the end, spoken as "Zulu", means no time zone offset from UTC.

Example Code

// import org.joda.time.*;

String output = new DateTime( DateTimeZone.UTC );

Output…

Strip first and last character from C string

To "remove" the 1st character point to the second character:

char mystr[] = "Nmy stringP";
char *p = mystr;
p++; /* 'N' is not in `p` */

To remove the last character replace it with a '\0'.

p[strlen(p)-1] = 0; /* 'P' is not in `p` (and it isn't in `mystr` either) */

JavaFX: How to get stage from controller during initialization?

Platform.runLater works to prevent execution until initialization is complete. In this case, i want to refresh a list view every time I resize the window width.

Platform.runLater(() -> {
    ((Stage) listView.getScene().getWindow()).widthProperty().addListener((obs, oldVal, newVal) -> {
        listView.refresh();
    });
});

in your case

Platform.runLater(()->{
    ((Stage)myPane.getScene().getWindow()).setOn*whatIwant*(...);
});

Best HTML5 markup for sidebar

Update 17/07/27: As this is the most-voted answer, I should update this to include current information locally (with links to the references).

From the spec [1]:

The aside element represents a section of a page that consists of content that is tangentially related to the content of the parenting sectioning content, and which could be considered separate from that content. Such sections are often represented as sidebars in printed typography.

Great! Exactly what we're looking for. In addition, it is best to check on <section> as well.

The section element represents a generic section of a document or application. A section, in this context, is a thematic grouping of content. Each section should be identified, typically by including a heading (h1-h6 element) as a child of the section element.

...

A general rule is that the section element is appropriate only if the element’s contents would be listed explicitly in the document’s outline.

Excellent. Just what we're looking for. As opposed to <article> [2] which is for "self-contained" content, <section> allows for related content that isn't stand-alone, or generic enough for a <div> element.

As such, the spec seems to suggest that using Option 1, <aside> with <section> children is best practice.

How to trigger Jenkins builds remotely and to pass parameters

You can simply try it with a jenkinsfile. Create a Jenkins job with following pipeline script.

pipeline {
    agent any

    parameters {
        booleanParam(defaultValue: true, description: '', name: 'userFlag')
    }

    stages {
        stage('Trigger') {
            steps {
                script {
                    println("triggering the pipeline from a rest call...")
                }
            }
        }
        stage("foo") {
            steps {
                echo "flag: ${params.userFlag}"
            }
        }

    }
}

Build the job once manually to get it configured & just create a http POST request to the Jenkins job as follows.

The format is http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?PARAMETER=Value

curl http://admin:test123@localhost:30637/job/apd-test/buildWithParameters?userFlag=false --request POST

T-SQL Cast versus Convert

To expand on the above answercopied by Shakti, I have actually been able to measure a performance difference between the two functions.

I was testing performance of variations of the solution to this question and found that the standard deviation and maximum runtimes were larger when using CAST.

Runtimes in milliseconds *Times in milliseconds, rounded to nearest 1/300th of a second as per the precision of the DateTime type

Regular Expressions and negating a whole character group

In this case I might just simply avoid regular expressions altogether and go with something like:

if (StringToTest.IndexOf("ab") < 0)
  //do stuff

This is likely also going to be much faster (a quick test vs regexes above showed this method to take about 25% of the time of the regex method). In general, if I know the exact string I'm looking for, I've found regexes are overkill. Since you know you don't want "ab", it's a simple matter to test if the string contains that string, without using regex.

HTML email with Javascript

I don't think that is possible in an email, nor should it be. There would be major security ramifications.

Querying DynamoDB by date

You can have multiple identical hash keys; but only if you have a range key that varies. Think of it like file formats; you can have 2 files with the same name in the same folder as long as their format is different. If their format is the same, their name must be different. The same concept applies to DynamoDB's hash/range keys; just think of the hash as the name and the range as the format.

Also, I don't recall if they had these at the time of the OP (I don't believe they did), but they now offer Local Secondary Indexes.

My understanding of these is that it should now allow you to perform the desired queries without having to do a full scan. The downside is that these indexes have to be specified at table creation, and also (I believe) cannot be blank when creating an item. In addition, they require additional throughput (though typically not as much as a scan) and storage, so it's not a perfect solution, but a viable alternative, for some.

I do still recommend Mike Brant's answer as the preferred method of using DynamoDB, though; and use that method myself. In my case, I just have a central table with only a hash key as my ID, then secondary tables that have a hash and range that can be queried, then the item points the code to the central table's "item of interest", directly.

Additional data regarding the secondary indexes can be found in Amazon's DynamoDB documentation here for those interested.

Anyway, hopefully this will help anyone else that happens upon this thread.

ORA-00060: deadlock detected while waiting for resource

I was recently struggling with a similar problem. It turned out that the database was missing indexes on foreign keys. That caused Oracle to lock many more records than required which quickly led to a deadlock during high concurrency.

md-table - How to update the column width

If you have too many table column and it is not adjusted in angular table using md-table, then paste the following style in component.css file. It will work like a charm with scroll view horizontally.

.mat-table__wrapper .mat-table {
    min-width: auto !important;
    width: 100% !important; }

.mat-header-row {
    width: 100%; }

.mat-row {
    width: 100%;
}

Add this style to alter your column separately.

.mat-column-{colum-name} {
    flex: 0 0 25% !important;
    min-width: 104px !important;
}

Alternatively check this link, (where the code above came from), for more detail.

Counter increment in Bash loop not working

There were two conditions that caused the expression ((var++)) to fail for me:

  1. If I set bash to strict mode (set -euo pipefail) and if I start my increment at zero (0).

  2. Starting at one (1) is fine but zero causes the increment to return "1" when evaluating "++" which is a non-zero return code failure in strict mode.

I can either use ((var+=1)) or var=$((var+1)) to escape this behavior

Sorting objects by property values

javascript has the sort function which can take another function as parameter - that second function is used to compare two elements.

Example:

cars = [

    {
        name: "Honda",
        speed: 80
    },

    {
        name: "BMW",
        speed: 180
    },

    {
        name: "Trabi",
        speed: 40
    },

    {
        name: "Ferrari",
        speed: 200
    }
]


cars.sort(function(a, b) { 
    return a.speed - b.speed;
})

for(var i in cars)
    document.writeln(cars[i].name) // Trabi Honda BMW Ferrari 

ok, from your comment i see that you're using the word 'sort' in a wrong sense. In programming "sort" means "put things in a certain order", not "arrange things in groups". The latter is much simpler - this is just how you "sort" things in the real world

  • make two empty arrays ("boxes")
  • for each object in your list, check if it matches the criteria
  • if yes, put it in the first "box"
  • if no, put it in the second "box"

How to count the number of files in a directory using Python

This uses os.listdir and works for any directory:

import os
directory = 'mydirpath'

number_of_files = len([item for item in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, item))])

this can be simplified with a generator and made a little bit faster with:

import os
isfile = os.path.isfile
join = os.path.join

directory = 'mydirpath'
number_of_files = sum(1 for item in os.listdir(directory) if isfile(join(directory, item)))

JavaScript Object Id

No, objects don't have a built in identifier, though you can add one by modifying the object prototype. Here's an example of how you might do that:

(function() {
    var id = 0;

    function generateId() { return id++; };

    Object.prototype.id = function() {
        var newId = generateId();

        this.id = function() { return newId; };

        return newId;
    };
})();

That said, in general modifying the object prototype is considered very bad practice. I would instead recommend that you manually assign an id to objects as needed or use a touch function as others have suggested.

How to preserve insertion order in HashMap?

HashMap is unordered per the second line of the documentation:

This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.

Perhaps you can do as aix suggests and use a LinkedHashMap, or another ordered collection. This link can help you find the most appropriate collection to use.

What is the use of ByteBuffer in Java?

The ByteBuffer class is important because it forms a basis for the use of channels in Java. ByteBuffer class defines six categories of operations upon byte buffers, as stated in the Java 7 documentation:

  • Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write single bytes;

  • Relative bulk get methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from this buffer into an array;

  • Relative bulk put methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from a byte array or some other byte buffer into this buffer;

  • Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write values of other primitive types, translating them to and from sequences of bytes in a particular byte order;

  • Methods for creating view buffers, which allow a byte buffer to be viewed as a buffer containing values of some other primitive type; and

  • Methods for compacting, duplicating, and slicing a byte buffer.

Example code : Putting Bytes into a buffer.

    // Create an empty ByteBuffer with a 10 byte capacity
    ByteBuffer bbuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(10);

    // Get the buffer's capacity
    int capacity = bbuf.capacity(); // 10

    // Use the absolute put(int, byte).
    // This method does not affect the position.
    bbuf.put(0, (byte)0xFF); // position=0

    // Set the position
    bbuf.position(5);

    // Use the relative put(byte)
    bbuf.put((byte)0xFF);

    // Get the new position
    int pos = bbuf.position(); // 6

    // Get remaining byte count
    int rem = bbuf.remaining(); // 4

    // Set the limit
    bbuf.limit(7); // remaining=1

    // This convenience method sets the position to 0
    bbuf.rewind(); // remaining=7

PHP: How to get current time in hour:minute:second?

Anytime you have a question about a particular function in PHP, the easiest way to get quick answers is by visiting php.net, which has great documentation on all of the language's capabilities.

Looking up a function is easy, just visit http://php.net/<function name> and it will forward you to the appropriate place. For the date function, we'll visit http://php.net/date.

We immediately learn a couple things about this function by examining its signature:

string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )

First, it returns a string. That's what the first string in the above code means. Secondly, the first parameter is expected to be a string containing the format. There is an optional second parameter for passing in your own timestamp (to construct strings from some time other than now).

date("d-m-Y") // produces something like 03-12-2012

In this code, d represents the day of the month (with a leading 0 is necessary). m represents the month, again with a leading zero if necessary. And Y represents the full 4-digit year. All of these are documented in the aforementioned link.

To satisfy your request of getting the hours, minutes, and seconds, we need to give a quick look at the documentation to see which characters represents those particular units of time. When we do that, we find the following:

h   12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros    01 through 12
i   Minutes with leading zeros                      00 to 59
s   Seconds, with leading zeros                     00 through 59

With this in mind, we can no create a new format string:

date("d-m-Y h:i:s"); // produces something like 03-12-2012 03:29:13

Hope this is helpful, and I hope you find the documentation has benefiting to your development as I have to mine.

What is more efficient? Using pow to square or just multiply it with itself?

x*x or x*x*x will be faster than pow, since pow must deal with the general case, whereas x*x is specific. Also, you can elide the function call and suchlike.

However, if you find yourself micro-optimizing like this, you need to get a profiler and do some serious profiling. The overwhelming probability is that you would never notice any difference between the two.

list.append(sentence.lower())

I found this in the first result after searching for "python upper to lower case".

Combining "LIKE" and "IN" for SQL Server

You need multiple LIKE clauses connected by OR.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE 
column LIKE 'Text%' OR 
column LIKE 'Link%' OR 
column LIKE 'Hello%' OR 
column LIKE '%World%' OR 

How to remove trailing whitespace in code, using another script?

If you're looking to tidy up for PEP8, this will trim trailing whitespace for your whole project:

import os

PATH = '/path/to/your/project'

for path, dirs, files in os.walk(PATH):
    for f in files:
        file_name, file_extension = os.path.splitext(f)
        if file_extension == '.py':
            path_name = os.path.join(path, f)
            with open(path_name, 'r') as fh:
                new = [line.rstrip() for line in fh]
            with open(path_name, 'w') as fh:
                [fh.write('%s\n' % line) for line in new]

How to convert a Map to List in Java?

The issue here is that Map has two values (a key and value), while a List only has one value (an element).

Therefore, the best that can be done is to either get a List of the keys or the values. (Unless we make a wrapper to hold on to the key/value pair).

Say we have a Map:

Map<String, String> m = new HashMap<String, String>();
m.put("Hello", "World");
m.put("Apple", "3.14");
m.put("Another", "Element");

The keys as a List can be obtained by creating a new ArrayList from a Set returned by the Map.keySet method:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(m.keySet());

While the values as a List can be obtained creating a new ArrayList from a Collection returned by the Map.values method:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(m.values());

The result of getting the List of keys:

Apple
Another
Hello

The result of getting the List of values:

3.14
Element
World

grep for special characters in Unix

You could try removing any alphanumeric characters and space. And then use -n will give you the line number. Try following:

grep -vn "^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]*$" application.log

openCV video saving in python

I also faced same problem but it worked when I used 'MJPG' instead of 'XVID'

I used

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'MJPG')

instead of

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID')

Going through a text file line by line in C

In addition to the other answers, on a recent C library (Posix 2008 compliant), you could use getline. See this answer (to a related question).

Why does the C preprocessor interpret the word "linux" as the constant "1"?

From info gcc (emphasis mine):

-ansi

In C mode, this is equivalent to -std=c90. In C++ mode, it is equivalent to -std=c++98. This turns off certain features of GCC that are incompatible with ISO C90 (when compiling C code), or of standard C++ (when compiling C++ code), such as the asm and typeof keywords, and predefined macros such as 'unix' and 'vax' that identify the type of system you are using. It also enables the undesirable and rarely used ISO trigraph feature. For the C compiler, it disables recognition of C++ style // comments as well as the inline keyword.

(It uses vax in the example instead of linux because when it was written maybe it was more popular ;-).

The basic idea is that GCC only tries to fully comply with the ISO standards when it is invoked with the -ansi option.

JQuery Ajax Post results in 500 Internal Server Error

You can look up HTTP status codes here (or here), this error is telling you:

"The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request."

You need to debug your server.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

This means that you must declare strict mode by writing "use strict" at the beginning of the file or the function to use block-scope declarations.

EX:

function test(){
    "use strict";
    let a = 1;
} 

How can I run an external command asynchronously from Python?

There are several answers here but none of them satisfied my below requirements:

  1. I don't want to wait for command to finish or pollute my terminal with subprocess outputs.

  2. I want to run bash script with redirects.

  3. I want to support piping within my bash script (for example find ... | tar ...).

The only combination that satiesfies above requirements is:

subprocess.Popen(['./my_script.sh "arg1" > "redirect/path/to"'],
                 stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
                 stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
                 shell=True)

What does Ruby have that Python doesn't, and vice versa?

I would like to mention Python descriptor API that allows one customize object-to-attribute "communication". It is also noteworthy that, in Python, one is free to implement an alternative protocol via overriding the default given through the default implementation of the __getattribute__ method. Let me give more details about the aforementioned. Descriptors are regular classes with __get__, __set__ and/or __delete__ methods. When interpreter encounters something like anObj.anAttr, the following is performed:

  • __getattribute__ method of anObj is invoked
  • __getattribute__ retrieves anAttr object from the class dict
  • it checks whether abAttr object has __get__, __set__ or __delete__ callable objects
  • the context (i.e., caller object or class, and value, instead of the latter, if we have setter) is passed to the callable object
  • the result is returned.

As was mentioned, this is the default behavior. One is free to change the protocol by re-implementing __getattribute__.

This technique is lot more powerful than decorators.

Erase whole array Python

Now to answer the question that perhaps you should have asked, like "I'm getting 100 floats form somewhere; do I need to put them in an array or list before I find the minimum?"

Answer: No, if somewhere is a iterable, instead of doing this:

temp = []
for x in somewhere:
   temp.append(x)
answer = min(temp)

you can do this:

answer = min(somewhere)

Example:

answer = min(float(line) for line in open('floats.txt'))

How to parse Excel (XLS) file in Javascript/HTML5

var excel=new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); var book=excel.Workbooks.Open(your_full_file_name_here.xls); var sheet=book.Sheets.Item(1); var value=sheet.Range("A1");

when you have the sheet. You could use VBA functions as you do in Excel.

jQueryUI modal dialog does not show close button (x)

In the upper right corner of the dialog, mouse over where the button should be, and see rather or not you get some effect (the button hover). Try clicking it and seeing if it closes. If it does close, then you're just missing your image sprites that came with your package download.

How can I add new item to the String array?

Simple answer: You can't. An array is fixed size in Java. You'll want to use a List<String>.

Alternatively, you could create an array of fixed size and put things in it:

String[] array = new String[2];
array[0] = "Hello";
array[1] = "World!";

Trying to git pull with error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied

This worked for me:

  1. Right click .git folder
  2. click get info
  3. set permission to your user
  4. click the Cog icon and click apply to enclosed items

No more permission denied errors in git.

Set the location in iPhone Simulator

you can add gpx files to your project and use it:
edit scheme > options > allow location simulation > pick the file name that contains for example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gpx version="1.1" creator="Xcode"> 
    <wpt lat="41.92296" lon="-87.63892"></wpt>
</gpx>

optionally just hardcode the lat/lon values that are returned by the location manager. This is old style though.

so you won't add it to the simulator, but to your Xcode project.

Run a PostgreSQL .sql file using command line arguments

You have four choices to supply a password:

  1. Set the PGPASSWORD environment variable. For details see the manual:
    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-envars.html
  2. Use a .pgpass file to store the password. For details see the manual:
    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html
  3. Use "trust authentication" for that specific user: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-TRUST
  4. Since PostgreSQL 9.1 you can also use a connection string:
    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING

Easiest way to convert int to string in C++

int i = 255; std::string s = std::to_string(i);

In c++, to_string() will create a string object of the integer value by representing the value as a sequence of characters.

Compiler error "archive for required library could not be read" - Spring Tool Suite

How to hide a div element depending on Model value? MVC

Your code isn't working, because the hidden attibute is not supported in versions of IE before v11

If you need to support IE before version 11, add a CSS style to hide when the hidden attribute is present:

*[hidden] { display: none; }

Angular is automatically adding 'ng-invalid' class on 'required' fields

Try to add the class for validation dynamically, when the form has been submitted or the field is invalid. Use the form name and add the 'name' attribute to the input. Example with Bootstrap:

<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': myForm.$submitted && (myForm.username.$invalid && !myForm.username.$pristine)}">
    <label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="username">Username*</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10 col-md-9">
        <input ng-model="data.username" id="username" name="username" type="text" class="form-control input-md" required>
    </div>
</div>

It is also important, that your form has the ng-submit="" attribute:

<form name="myForm" ng-submit="checkSubmit()" novalidate>
 <!-- input fields here -->
 ....

  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

You can also add an optional function for validation to the form:

//within your controller (some extras...)

$scope.checkSubmit = function () {

   if ($scope.myForm.$valid) {
        alert('All good...'); //next step!

   }
   else {
        alert('Not all fields valid! Do something...');
    }

 }

Now, when you load your app the class 'has-error' will only be added when the form is submitted or the field has been touched. Instead of:
!myForm.username.$pristine

You could also use:
myForm.username.$dirty

Linux command for extracting war file?

Using unzip

unzip -c whatever.war META-INF/MANIFEST.MF  

It will print the output in terminal.

And for extracting all the files,

 unzip whatever.war

Using jar

jar xvf test.war

Note! The jar command will extract war contents to current directory. Not to a subdirectory (like Tomcat does).

JTable How to refresh table model after insert delete or update the data.

The faster way for your case is:

    jTable.repaint(); // Repaint all the component (all Cells).

The optimized way when one or few cell change:

    ((AbstractTableModel) jTable.getModel()).fireTableCellUpdated(x, 0); // Repaint one cell.

How can I check a C# variable is an empty string "" or null?

Cheap trick:

Convert.ToString((object)stringVar) == “”

This works because Convert.ToString(object) returns an empty string if object is null. Convert.ToString(string) returns null if string is null.

(Or, if you're using .NET 2.0 you could always using String.IsNullOrEmpty.)

How does a ArrayList's contains() method evaluate objects?

The ArrayList uses the equals method implemented in the class (your case Thing class) to do the equals comparison.

Collections.sort with multiple fields

(originally from Ways to sort lists of objects in Java based on multiple fields)

Original working code in this gist

Using Java 8 lambda's (added April 10, 2019)

Java 8 solves this nicely by lambda's (though Guava and Apache Commons might still offer more flexibility):

Collections.sort(reportList, Comparator.comparing(Report::getReportKey)
            .thenComparing(Report::getStudentNumber)
            .thenComparing(Report::getSchool));

Thanks to @gaoagong's answer below.

Note that one advantage here is that the getters are evaluated lazily (eg. getSchool() is only evaluated if relevant).

Messy and convoluted: Sorting by hand

Collections.sort(pizzas, new Comparator<Pizza>() {  
    @Override  
    public int compare(Pizza p1, Pizza p2) {  
        int sizeCmp = p1.size.compareTo(p2.size);  
        if (sizeCmp != 0) {  
            return sizeCmp;  
        }  
        int nrOfToppingsCmp = p1.nrOfToppings.compareTo(p2.nrOfToppings);  
        if (nrOfToppingsCmp != 0) {  
            return nrOfToppingsCmp;  
        }  
        return p1.name.compareTo(p2.name);  
    }  
});  

This requires a lot of typing, maintenance and is error prone. The only advantage is that getters are only invoked when relevant.

The reflective way: Sorting with BeanComparator

ComparatorChain chain = new ComparatorChain(Arrays.asList(
   new BeanComparator("size"), 
   new BeanComparator("nrOfToppings"), 
   new BeanComparator("name")));

Collections.sort(pizzas, chain);  

Obviously this is more concise, but even more error prone as you lose your direct reference to the fields by using Strings instead (no typesafety, auto-refactorings). Now if a field is renamed, the compiler won’t even report a problem. Moreover, because this solution uses reflection, the sorting is much slower.

Getting there: Sorting with Google Guava’s ComparisonChain

Collections.sort(pizzas, new Comparator<Pizza>() {  
    @Override  
    public int compare(Pizza p1, Pizza p2) {  
        return ComparisonChain.start().compare(p1.size, p2.size).compare(p1.nrOfToppings, p2.nrOfToppings).compare(p1.name, p2.name).result();  
        // or in case the fields can be null:  
        /* 
        return ComparisonChain.start() 
           .compare(p1.size, p2.size, Ordering.natural().nullsLast()) 
           .compare(p1.nrOfToppings, p2.nrOfToppings, Ordering.natural().nullsLast()) 
           .compare(p1.name, p2.name, Ordering.natural().nullsLast()) 
           .result(); 
        */  
    }  
});  

This is much better, but requires some boiler plate code for the most common use case: null-values should be valued less by default. For null-fields, you have to provide an extra directive to Guava what to do in that case. This is a flexible mechanism if you want to do something specific, but often you want the default case (ie. 1, a, b, z, null).

And as noted in the comments below, these getters are all evaluated immediately for each comparison.

Sorting with Apache Commons CompareToBuilder

Collections.sort(pizzas, new Comparator<Pizza>() {  
    @Override  
    public int compare(Pizza p1, Pizza p2) {  
        return new CompareToBuilder().append(p1.size, p2.size).append(p1.nrOfToppings, p2.nrOfToppings).append(p1.name, p2.name).toComparison();  
    }  
});  

Like Guava’s ComparisonChain, this library class sorts easily on multiple fields, but also defines default behavior for null values (ie. 1, a, b, z, null). However, you can’t specify anything else either, unless you provide your own Comparator.

Again, as noted in the comments below, these getters are all evaluated immediately for each comparison.

Thus

Ultimately it comes down to flavor and the need for flexibility (Guava’s ComparisonChain) vs. concise code (Apache’s CompareToBuilder).

Bonus method

I found a nice solution that combines multiple comparators in order of priority on CodeReview in a MultiComparator:

class MultiComparator<T> implements Comparator<T> {
    private final List<Comparator<T>> comparators;

    public MultiComparator(List<Comparator<? super T>> comparators) {
        this.comparators = comparators;
    }

    public MultiComparator(Comparator<? super T>... comparators) {
        this(Arrays.asList(comparators));
    }

    public int compare(T o1, T o2) {
        for (Comparator<T> c : comparators) {
            int result = c.compare(o1, o2);
            if (result != 0) {
                return result;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }

    public static <T> void sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T>... comparators) {
        Collections.sort(list, new MultiComparator<T>(comparators));
    }
}

Ofcourse Apache Commons Collections has a util for this already:

ComparatorUtils.chainedComparator(comparatorCollection)

Collections.sort(list, ComparatorUtils.chainedComparator(comparators));

How do you cache an image in Javascript

I use a similar technique to lazyload images, but can't help but notice that Javascript doesn't access the browser cache on first loading.

My example:

I have a rotating banner on my homepage with 4 images the slider wait 2 seconds, than the javascript loads the next image, waits 2 seconds, etc.

These images have unique urls that change whenever I modify them, so they get caching headers that will cache in the browser for a year.

max-age: 31536000, public

Now when I open Chrome Devtools and make sure de 'Disable cache' option is not active and load the page for the first time (after clearing the cache) all images get fetch and have a 200 status. After a full cycle of all images in the banner the network requests stop and the cached images are used.

Now when I do a regular refresh or go to a subpage and click back, the images that are in the cache seems to be ignored. I would expect to see a grey message "from disk cache" in the Network tab of Chrome devtools. In instead I see the requests pass by every two seconds with a Green status circle instead of gray, I see data being transferred, so it I get the impression the cache is not accessed at all from javascript. It simply fetches the image each time the page gets loaded.

So each request to the homepage triggers 4 requests regardless of the caching policy of the image.

Considering the above together and the new http2 standard most webservers and browsers now support, I think it's better to stop using lazyloading since http2 will load all images nearly simultaneously.

If this is a bug in Chrome Devtools it really surprises my nobody noticed this yet. ;)

If this is true, using lazyloading only increases bandwith usage.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

How to convert char to integer in C?

In the old days, when we could assume that most computers used ASCII, we would just do

int i = c[0] - '0';

But in these days of Unicode, it's not a good idea. It was never a good idea if your code had to run on a non-ASCII computer.

Edit: Although it looks hackish, evidently it is guaranteed by the standard to work. Thanks @Earwicker.

How do I declare a model class in my Angular 2 component using TypeScript?

I realize this is a somewhat older question, but I just wanted to point out that you've add the model variable to your test widget class incorrectly. If you need a Model variable, you shouldn't be trying to pass it in through the component constructor. You are only intended to pass services or other types of injectables that way. If you are instantiating your test widget inside of another component and need to pass a model object as, I would recommend using the angular core OnInit and Input/Output design patterns.

As an example, your code should really look something like this:

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { YourModelLoadingService } from "../yourModuleRootFolderPath/index"

class Model {
    param1: string;
}

@Component({
    selector: "testWidget",
    template: "<div>This is a test and {{model.param1}} is my param.</div>",
    providers: [ YourModelLoadingService ]
})

export class testWidget implements OnInit {
    @Input() model: Model; //Use this if you want the parent component instantiating this
        //one to be able to directly set the model's value
    private _model: Model; //Use this if you only want the model to be private within
        //the component along with a service to load the model's value
    constructor(
        private _yourModelLoadingService: YourModelLoadingService //This service should
        //usually be provided at the module level, not the component level
    ) {}

    ngOnInit() {
        this.load();
    }

    private load() {
        //add some code to make your component read only,
        //possibly add a busy spinner on top of your view
        //This is to avoid bugs as well as communicate to the user what's
        //actually going on

        //If using the Input model so the parent scope can set the contents of model,
        //add code an event call back for when model gets set via the parent
        //On event: now that loading is done, disable read only mode and your spinner
        //if you added one

        //If using the service to set the contents of model, add code that calls your
        //service's functions that return the value of model
        //After setting the value of model, disable read only mode and your spinner
        //if you added one. Depending on if you leverage Observables, or other methods
        //this may also be done in a callback
    }
}

A class which is essentially just a struct/model should not be injected, because it means you can only have a single shared instanced of that class within the scope it was provided. In this case, that means a single instance of Model is created by the dependency injector every time testWidget is instantiated. If it were provided at the module level, you would only have a single instance shared among all components and services within that module.

Instead, you should be following standard Object Oriented practices and creating a private model variable as part of the class, and if you need to pass information into that model when you instantiate the instance, that should be handled by a service (injectable) provided by the parent module. This is how both dependency injection and communication is intended to be performed in angular.

Also, as some of the other mentioned, you should be declaring your model classes in a separate file and importing the class.

I would strongly recommend going back to the angular documentation reference and reviewing the basics pages on the various annotations and class types: https://angular.io/guide/architecture

You should pay particular attention to the sections on Modules, Components and Services/Dependency Injection as these are essential to understanding how to use Angular on an architectural level. Angular is a very architecture heavy language because it is so high level. Separation of concerns, dependency injection factories and javascript versioning for browser comparability are mainly handled for you, but you have to use their application architecture correctly or you'll find things don't work as you expect.

Java, "Variable name" cannot be resolved to a variable

I've noticed bizarre behavior with Eclipse version 4.2.1 delivering me this error:

String cannot be resolved to a variable

With this Java code:

if (true)
    String my_variable = "somevalue";
    System.out.println("foobar");

You would think this code is very straight forward, the conditional is true, we set my_variable to somevalue. And it should print foobar. Right?

Wrong, you get the above mentioned compile time error. Eclipse is trying to prevent you from making a mistake by assuming that both statements are within the if statement.

If you put braces around the conditional block like this:

if (true){
    String my_variable = "somevalue"; }
    System.out.println("foobar");

Then it compiles and runs fine. Apparently poorly bracketed conditionals are fair game for generating compile time errors now.

How to export html table to excel or pdf in php

Either you can use CSV functions or PHPExcel

or you can try like below

<?php
$file="demo.xls";
$test="<table  ><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>";
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
echo $test;
?>

The header for .xlsx files is Content-type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

How to check if a character in a string is a digit or letter

You could use the existing methods from the Character class. Take a look at the docs:

http://download.java.net/jdk7/archive/b123/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isDigit(char)

So, you could do something like this...

String character = in.next();
char c = character.charAt(0);
...
if (Character.isDigit(c)) { 
    ... 
} else if (Character.isLetter(c)) {
    ...
}
...

If you ever want to know exactly how this is implemented, you could always look at the Java source code.

When should I use semicolons in SQL Server?

From a SQLServerCentral.Com article by Ken Powers:

The Semicolon

The semicolon character is a statement terminator. It is a part of the ANSI SQL-92 standard, but was never used within Transact-SQL. Indeed, it was possible to code T-SQL for years without ever encountering a semicolon.

Usage

There are two situations in which you must use the semicolon. The first situation is where you use a Common Table Expression (CTE), and the CTE is not the first statement in the batch. The second is where you issue a Service Broker statement and the Service Broker statement is not the first statement in the batch.

Folder is locked and I can't unlock it

I had this problem where I couldn't unlock a file from the client side. I decided to go to the sever side which was much simpler.

On SVN Server:

Locate locks

 svnadmin lslocks /root/of/repo
 (in my case it was var/www/svn/[name of Company])

 You can add a specific path to this by svnadmin lslocks /root/of/repo "path/to/file"

Remove lock

 svnadmin rmlocks /root/of/repo “path/to/file” 

That's it!

How to set or change the default Java (JDK) version on OS X?

JDK Switch Script

I have adapted the answer from @Alex above and wrote the following to fix the code for Java 9.

$ cat ~/.jdk
#!/bin/bash

#list available jdks
alias jdks="/usr/libexec/java_home -V"
# jdk version switching - e.g. `jdk 6` will switch to version 1.6
function jdk() {
  echo "Switching java version $1";

  requestedVersion=$1
  oldStyleVersion=8
  # Set the version
  if [ $requestedVersion -gt $oldStyleVersion ]; then
    export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v $1);
  else
    export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.$1`;
  fi

  echo "Setting JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME"

  which java
  java -version;
}

Switch to Java 8

$ jdk 8
Switching java version 8
Setting JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home
/usr/bin/java
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Switch to Java 9

$ jdk 9
Switching java version 9
Setting JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
/usr/bin/java
java version "9.0.1"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode)

Sum of values in an array using jQuery

    var arr = ["20.0","40.1","80.2","400.3"],
    sum = 0;
$.each(arr,function(){sum+=parseFloat(this) || 0; });

Worked perfectly for what i needed. Thanks vol7ron

How to remove line breaks (no characters!) from the string?

You can also use PHP trim

This function returns a string with whitespace stripped from the beginning and end of str. Without the second parameter, trim() will strip these characters:

  • " " (ASCII 32 (0x20)), an ordinary space.
  • "\t" (ASCII 9 (0x09)), a tab.
  • "\n" (ASCII 10 (0x0A)), a new line (line feed).
  • "\r" (ASCII 13 (0x0D)), a carriage return.
  • "\0" (ASCII 0 (0x00)), the NUL-byte.
  • "\x0B" (ASCII 11 (0x0B)), a vertical tab.

Angular 2 / 4 / 5 - Set base href dynamically

How to close current tab in a browser window?

As far as I can tell, it no longer is possible in Chrome or FireFox. It may still be possible in IE (at least pre-Edge).

Eclipse: Syntax Error, parameterized types are only if source level is 1.5

Single answer couldn't solve my problem so I used both :

  • First right click on the error in problems tab
  • click Quick fix
  • ok
  • right click on the project
  • build path
  • configure build path
  • remove JRE library
  • add JRE library

.... tada...done... :)

How do I get the unix timestamp in C as an int?

An important point is to consider if you perform tasks based on difference between 2 timestamps because you will get odd behavior if you generate it with gettimeofday(), and even clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,..) at the moment where you will set the time of your system.

To prevent such problem, use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, &tms) instead.

calculating the difference in months between two dates

This library calculates the difference of months, considering all parts of DateTime:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void DateDiffSample()
{
  DateTime date1 = new DateTime( 2009, 11, 8, 7, 13, 59 );
  Console.WriteLine( "Date1: {0}", date1 );
  // > Date1: 08.11.2009 07:13:59
  DateTime date2 = new DateTime( 2011, 3, 20, 19, 55, 28 );
  Console.WriteLine( "Date2: {0}", date2 );
  // > Date2: 20.03.2011 19:55:28

  DateDiff dateDiff = new DateDiff( date1, date2 );

  // differences
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Years: {0}", dateDiff.Years );
  // > DateDiff.Years: 1
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Quarters: {0}", dateDiff.Quarters );
  // > DateDiff.Quarters: 5
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Months: {0}", dateDiff.Months );
  // > DateDiff.Months: 16
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Weeks: {0}", dateDiff.Weeks );
  // > DateDiff.Weeks: 70
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Days: {0}", dateDiff.Days );
  // > DateDiff.Days: 497
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Weekdays: {0}", dateDiff.Weekdays );
  // > DateDiff.Weekdays: 71
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Hours: {0}", dateDiff.Hours );
  // > DateDiff.Hours: 11940
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Minutes: {0}", dateDiff.Minutes );
  // > DateDiff.Minutes: 716441
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.Seconds: {0}", dateDiff.Seconds );
  // > DateDiff.Seconds: 42986489

  // elapsed
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.ElapsedYears: {0}", dateDiff.ElapsedYears );
  // > DateDiff.ElapsedYears: 1
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.ElapsedMonths: {0}", dateDiff.ElapsedMonths );
  // > DateDiff.ElapsedMonths: 4
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.ElapsedDays: {0}", dateDiff.ElapsedDays );
  // > DateDiff.ElapsedDays: 12
  Console.WriteLine( "DateDiff.ElapsedHours: {0}", dateDiff.ElapsedHours );
  // > DateDiff.ElapsedHours: 12

How to find common elements from multiple vectors?

A good answer already, but there are a couple of other ways to do this:

unique(c[c%in%a[a%in%b]])

or,

tst <- c(unique(a),unique(b),unique(c))
tst <- tst[duplicated(tst)]
tst[duplicated(tst)]

You can obviously omit the unique calls if you know that there are no repeated values within a, b or c.

Find html label associated with a given input

All the other answers are extremely outdated!!

All you have to do is:

input.labels

HTML5 has been supported by all of the major browsers for many years already. There is absolutely no reason that you should have to make this from scratch on your own or polyfill it! Literally just use input.labels and it solves all of your problems.

The ternary (conditional) operator in C

In C, the real utility of it is that it's an expression instead of a statement; that is, you can have it on the right-hand side (RHS) of a statement. So you can write certain things more concisely.

How to format a URL to get a file from Amazon S3?

Perhaps not what the OP was after, but for those searching the URL to simply access a readable object on S3 is more like:

https://<region>.amazonaws.com/<bucket-name>/<key>

Where <region> is something like s3-ap-southeast-2.

Click on the item in the S3 GUI to get the link for your bucket.

How to create empty data frame with column names specified in R?

How to make node.js require absolute? (instead of relative)

There's a really interesting section in the Browserify Handbook:

avoiding ../../../../../../..

Not everything in an application properly belongs on the public npm and the overhead of setting up a private npm or git repo is still rather large in many cases. Here are some approaches for avoiding the ../../../../../../../ relative paths problem.

node_modules

People sometimes object to putting application-specific modules into node_modules because it is not obvious how to check in your internal modules without also checking in third-party modules from npm.

The answer is quite simple! If you have a .gitignore file that ignores node_modules:

node_modules

You can just add an exception with ! for each of your internal application modules:

node_modules/*
!node_modules/foo
!node_modules/bar

Please note that you can't unignore a subdirectory, if the parent is already ignored. So instead of ignoring node_modules, you have to ignore every directory inside node_modules with the node_modules/* trick, and then you can add your exceptions.

Now anywhere in your application you will be able to require('foo') or require('bar') without having a very large and fragile relative path.

If you have a lot of modules and want to keep them more separate from the third-party modules installed by npm, you can just put them all under a directory in node_modules such as node_modules/app:

node_modules/app/foo
node_modules/app/bar

Now you will be able to require('app/foo') or require('app/bar') from anywhere in your application.

In your .gitignore, just add an exception for node_modules/app:

node_modules/*
!node_modules/app

If your application had transforms configured in package.json, you'll need to create a separate package.json with its own transform field in your node_modules/foo or node_modules/app/foo component directory because transforms don't apply across module boundaries. This will make your modules more robust against configuration changes in your application and it will be easier to independently reuse the packages outside of your application.

symlink

Another handy trick if you are working on an application where you can make symlinks and don't need to support windows is to symlink a lib/ or app/ folder into node_modules. From the project root, do:

ln -s ../lib node_modules/app

and now from anywhere in your project you'll be able to require files in lib/ by doing require('app/foo.js') to get lib/foo.js.

custom paths

You might see some places talk about using the $NODE_PATH environment variable or opts.paths to add directories for node and browserify to look in to find modules.

Unlike most other platforms, using a shell-style array of path directories with $NODE_PATH is not as favorable in node compared to making effective use of the node_modules directory.

This is because your application is more tightly coupled to a runtime environment configuration so there are more moving parts and your application will only work when your environment is setup correctly.

node and browserify both support but discourage the use of $NODE_PATH.

jQuery - Fancybox: But I don't want scrollbars!

$(".various").fancybox({
    fitToView   : false,
    width       : '100%',
    height      : '100%',
    maxWidth    : 850,
    maxHeight   : 550,    
    fitToView   : false,
    padding : 20,
    autoSize    : true,
    closeClick  : true,
    openEffect  : 'none',
    closeEffect : 'none',
    overflow : 'hidden', 

            scrolling   : 'no'
});

Pad a number with leading zeros in JavaScript

You could do something like this:

function pad ( num, size ) {
  return ( Math.pow( 10, size ) + ~~num ).toString().substring( 1 );
}

Edit: This was just a basic idea for a function, but to add support for larger numbers (as well as invalid input), this would probably be better:

function pad ( num, size ) {
  if (num.toString().length >= size) return num;
  return ( Math.pow( 10, size ) + Math.floor(num) ).toString().substring( 1 );
}

This does 2 things:

  1. If the number is larger than the specified size, it will simply return the number.
  2. Using Math.floor(num) in place of ~~num will support larger numbers.

How to append data to a json file?

Using a instead of w should let you update the file instead of creating a new one/overwriting everything in the existing file.

See this answer for a difference in the modes.

Java and SSL - java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

Try javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword instead of javax.net.ssl.keyPassword: the latter isn't mentioned in the JSSE ref guide.

The algorithms you mention should be there by default using the default security providers. NoSuchAlgorithmExceptions are often cause by other underlying exceptions (file not found, wrong password, wrong keystore type, ...). It's useful to look at the full stack trace.

You could also use -Djavax.net.debug=ssl, or at least -Djavax.net.debug=ssl,keymanager, to get more debugging information, if the information in the stack trace isn't sufficient.

What does $ mean before a string?

Note that you can also combine the two, which is pretty cool (although it looks a bit odd):

// simple interpolated verbatim string
WriteLine($@"Path ""C:\Windows\{file}"" not found.");

Git error: src refspec master does not match any

The quick possible answer: When you first successfully clone an empty git repository, the origin has no master branch. So the first time you have a commit to push you must do:

git push origin master

Which will create this new master branch for you. Little things like this are very confusing with git.

If this didn't fix your issue then it's probably a gitolite-related issue:

Your conf file looks strange. There should have been an example conf file that came with your gitolite. Mine looks like this:

repo    phonegap                                                                                                                                                                           
    RW+     =   myusername otherusername                                                                                                                                               

repo    gitolite-admin                                                                                                                                                                         
    RW+     =   myusername                                                                                                                                                               

Please make sure you're setting your conf file correctly.

Gitolite actually replaces the gitolite user's account with a modified shell that doesn't accept interactive terminal sessions. You can see if gitolite is working by trying to ssh into your box using the gitolite user account. If it knows who you are it will say something like "Hi XYZ, you have access to the following repositories: X, Y, Z" and then close the connection. If it doesn't know you, it will just close the connection.

Lastly, after your first git push failed on your local machine you should never resort to creating the repo manually on the server. We need to know why your git push failed initially. You can cause yourself and gitolite more confusion when you don't use gitolite exclusively once you've set it up.

Core dump file analysis

You just need a binary (with debugging symbols included) that is identical to the one that generated the core dump file. Then you can run gdb path/to/the/binary path/to/the/core/dump/file to debug it.

When it starts up, you can use bt (for backtrace) to get a stack trace from the time of the crash. In the backtrace, each function invocation is given a number. You can use frame number (replacing number with the corresponding number in the stack trace) to select a particular stack frame.

You can then use list to see code around that function, and info locals to see the local variables. You can also use print name_of_variable (replacing "name_of_variable" with a variable name) to see its value.

Typing help within GDB will give you a prompt that will let you see additional commands.

How to use OpenCV SimpleBlobDetector

// creation 
            cv::SimpleBlobDetector * blob_detector; 
            blob_detector = new SimpleBlobDetector(); 
            blob_detector->create("SimpleBlobDetector"); 
// change params - first move it to public!! 
            blob_detector->params.filterByArea = true; 
            blob_detector->params.minArea = 1; 
            blob_detector->params.maxArea = 32000; 
// or read / write them with file 
            FileStorage fs("test_fs.yml", FileStorage::WRITE); 
            FileNode fn = fs["features"]; 

            //blob_detector->read(fn); 
// detect 
            vector<KeyPoint> keypoints; 
            blob_detector->detect(img_text, keypoints); 
            fs.release(); 

I do know why, but params are protected. So I moved it in file features2d.hpp to be public:

  virtual void read( const FileNode& fn ); 
  virtual void write( FileStorage& fs ) const; 

public: 
Params params; 




protected: 
struct CV_EXPORTS Center 
  { 
      Point2d loc 

If you will not do this, the only way to change params is to create file (FileStorage fs("test_fs.yml", FileStorage::WRITE);), than open it in notepad, and edit. Or maybe there is another way, but I`m not aware of it.

HTTP Headers for File Downloads

Acoording to RFC 2046 (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions):

The recommended action for an implementation that receives an
"application/octet-stream" entity is to simply offer to put the data in a file

So I'd go for that one.

how to get the cookies from a php curl into a variable

If you use CURLOPT_COOKIE_FILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE_JAR curl will read/write the cookies from/to a file. You can, after curl is done with it, read and/or modify it however you want.

Pass a PHP array to a JavaScript function

In the following example you have an PHP array, then firstly create a JavaScript array by a PHP array:

<script type="javascript">
    day = new Array(<?php echo implode(',', $day); ?>);
    week = new Array(<?php echo implode(',',$week); ?>);
    month = new Array(<?php echo implode(',',$month); ?>);

    <!--  Then pass it to the JavaScript function:   -->

    drawChart(<?php echo count($day); ?>, day, week, month);
</script>

Posting JSON Data to ASP.NET MVC

You can try these. 1. stringify your JSON Object before calling the server action via ajax 2. deserialize the string in the action then use the data as a dictionary.

Javascript sample below (sending the JSON Object

$.ajax(
   {
       type: 'POST',
       url: 'TheAction',
       data: { 'data': JSON.stringify(theJSONObject) 
   }
})

Action (C#) sample below

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult TheAction(string data) {

       string _jsonObject = data.Replace(@"\", string.Empty);
       var serializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();           
        Dictionary<string, string> jsonObject = serializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(_jsonObject);


        return Json(new object{status = true});

    }

Why doesn't calling a Python string method do anything unless you assign its output?

All string functions as lower, upper, strip are returning a string without modifying the original. If you try to modify a string, as you might think well it is an iterable, it will fail.

x = 'hello'
x[0] = 'i' #'str' object does not support item assignment

Javascript logical "!==" operator?

Copied from the formal specification: ECMAScript 5.1 section 11.9.5

11.9.4 The Strict Equals Operator ( === )

The production EqualityExpression : EqualityExpression === RelationalExpression is evaluated as follows:

  1. Let lref be the result of evaluating EqualityExpression.
  2. Let lval be GetValue(lref).
  3. Let rref be the result of evaluating RelationalExpression.
  4. Let rval be GetValue(rref).
  5. Return the result of performing the strict equality comparison rval === lval. (See 11.9.6)

11.9.5 The Strict Does-not-equal Operator ( !== )

The production EqualityExpression : EqualityExpression !== RelationalExpression is evaluated as follows:

  1. Let lref be the result of evaluating EqualityExpression.
  2. Let lval be GetValue(lref).
  3. Let rref be the result of evaluating RelationalExpression.
  4. Let rval be GetValue(rref). Let r be the result of performing strict equality comparison rval === lval. (See 11.9.6)
  5. If r is true, return false. Otherwise, return true.

11.9.6 The Strict Equality Comparison Algorithm

The comparison x === y, where x and y are values, produces true or false. Such a comparison is performed as follows:

  1. If Type(x) is different from Type(y), return false.
  2. Type(x) is Undefined, return true.
  3. Type(x) is Null, return true.
  4. Type(x) is Number, then
    1. If x is NaN, return false.
    2. If y is NaN, return false.
    3. If x is the same Number value as y, return true.
    4. If x is +0 and y is -0, return true.
    5. If x is -0 and y is +0, return true.
    6. Return false.
  5. If Type(x) is String, then return true if x and y are exactly the same sequence of characters (same length and same characters in corresponding positions); otherwise, return false.
  6. If Type(x) is Boolean, return true if x and y are both true or both false; otherwise, return false.
  7. Return true if x and y refer to the same object. Otherwise, return false.

PHP, pass array through POST

There are two things to consider: users can modify forms, and you need to secure against Cross Site Scripting (XSS).

XSS

XSS is when a user enters HTML into their input. For example, what if a user submitted this value?:

" /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/malice.js"></script><input value="

This would be written into your form like so:

<input type="hidden" name="prova[]" value="" /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/malice.js"></script><input value=""/>

The best way to protect against this is to use htmlspecialchars() to secure your input. This encodes characters such as < into &lt;. For example:

<input type="hidden" name="prova[]" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($array); ?>"/>

You can read more about XSS here: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS

Form Modification

If I were on your site, I could use Chrome's developer tools or Firebug to modify the HTML of your page. Depending on what your form does, this could be used maliciously.

I could, for example, add extra values to your array, or values that don't belong in the array. If this were a file system manager, then I could add files that don't exist or files that contain sensitive information (e.g.: replace myfile.jpg with ../index.php or ../db-connect.php).

In short, you always need to check your inputs later to make sure that they make sense, and only use safe inputs in forms. A File ID (a number) is safe, because you can check to see if the number exists, then extract the filename from a database (this assumes that your database contains validated input). A File Name isn't safe, for the reasons described above. You must either re-validate the filename or else I could change it to anything.

T-SQL: Deleting all duplicate rows but keeping one

Example query:

DELETE FROM Table
WHERE ID NOT IN
(
SELECT MIN(ID)
FROM Table
GROUP BY Field1, Field2, Field3, ...
)

Here fields are column on which you want to group the duplicate rows.

Freeing up a TCP/IP port?

As the others have said, you'll have to kill all processes that are listening on that port. The easiest way to do that would be to use the fuser(1) command. For example, to see all of the processes listening for http requests on port 80 (run as root or use sudo):

# fuser 80/tcp

If you want to kill them, then just add the -k option.

Java NIO FileChannel versus FileOutputstream performance / usefulness

My experience with larger files sizes has been that java.nio is faster than java.io. Solidly faster. Like in the >250% range. That said, I am eliminating obvious bottlenecks, which I suggest your micro-benchmark might suffer from. Potential areas for investigating:

The buffer size. The algorithm you basically have is

  • copy from disk to buffer
  • copy from buffer to disk

My own experience has been that this buffer size is ripe for tuning. I've settled on 4KB for one part of my application, 256KB for another. I suspect your code is suffering with such a large buffer. Run some benchmarks with buffers of 1KB, 2KB, 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 32KB and 64KB to prove it to yourself.

Don't perform java benchmarks that read and write to the same disk.

If you do, then you are really benchmarking the disk, and not Java. I would also suggest that if your CPU is not busy, then you are probably experiencing some other bottleneck.

Don't use a buffer if you don't need to.

Why copy to memory if your target is another disk or a NIC? With larger files, the latency incured is non-trivial.

Like other have said, use FileChannel.transferTo() or FileChannel.transferFrom(). The key advantage here is that the JVM uses the OS's access to DMA (Direct Memory Access), if present. (This is implementation dependent, but modern Sun and IBM versions on general purpose CPUs are good to go.) What happens is the data goes straight to/from disc, to the bus, and then to the destination... bypassing any circuit through RAM or the CPU.

The web app I spent my days and night working on is very IO heavy. I've done micro benchmarks and real-world benchmarks too. And the results are up on my blog, have a look-see:

Use production data and environments

Micro-benchmarks are prone to distortion. If you can, make the effort to gather data from exactly what you plan to do, with the load you expect, on the hardware you expect.

My benchmarks are solid and reliable because they took place on a production system, a beefy system, a system under load, gathered in logs. Not my notebook's 7200 RPM 2.5" SATA drive while I watched intensely as the JVM work my hard disc.

What are you running on? It matters.

CSS - Syntax to select a class within an id

PermGen elimination in JDK 8

PermGen space is replaced by MetaSpace in Java 8. The PermSize and MaxPermSize JVM arguments are ignored and a warning is issued if present at start-up.

Most allocations for the class metadata are now allocated out of native memory. * The classes that were used to describe class metadata have been removed.

Main difference between old PermGen and new MetaSpace is, you don't have to mandatory define upper limit of memory usage. You can keep MetaSpace space limit unbounded. Thus when memory usage increases you will not get OutOfMemoryError error. Instead the reserved native memory is increased to full-fill the increase memory usage.

You can define the max limit of space for MetaSpace, and then it will throw OutOfMemoryError : Metadata space. Thus it is important to define this limit cautiously, so that we can avoid memory waste.

How to loop through a checkboxlist and to find what's checked and not checked?

Use the CheckBoxList's GetItemChecked or GetItemCheckState method to find out whether an item is checked or not by its index.

performSelector may cause a leak because its selector is unknown

You could also use a protocol here. So, create a protocol like so:

@protocol MyProtocol
-(void)doSomethingWithObject:(id)object;
@end

In your class that needs to call your selector, you then have a @property.

@interface MyObject
    @property (strong) id<MyProtocol> source;
@end

When you need to call @selector(doSomethingWithObject:) in an instance of MyObject, do this:

[self.source doSomethingWithObject:object];

SQL query: Delete all records from the table except latest N?

Using id for this task is not an option in many cases. For example - table with twitter statuses. Here is a variant with specified timestamp field.

delete from table 
where access_time >= 
(
    select access_time from  
    (
        select access_time from table 
            order by access_time limit 150000,1
    ) foo    
)

VBA setting the formula for a cell

If you want to make address directly, the worksheet must exist.

Turning off automatic recalculation want help you :)

But... you can get value indirectly...

.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,7,1,0,""" & strProjectName & """),FALSE)"

At the time formula is inserted it will return #REF error, because strProjectName sheet does not exist.

But after this worksheet appear Excel will calculate formula again and proper value will be shown.
Disadvantage: there will be no tracking, so if you move the cell or change worksheet name, the formula will not adjust to the changes as in the direct addressing.

window.open(url, '_blank'); not working on iMac/Safari

The correct syntax is window.open(URL,WindowTitle,'_blank') All the arguments in the open must be strings. They are not mandatory, and window can be dropped. So just newWin=open() works as well, if you plan to populate newWin.document by yourself. BUT you MUST use all the three arguments, and the third one set to '_blank' for opening a new true window and not a tab.

Objects inside objects in javascript

You may have as many levels of Object hierarchy as you want, as long you declare an Object as being a property of another parent Object. Pay attention to the commas on each level, that's the tricky part. Don't use commas after the last element on each level:

{el1, el2, {el31, el32, el33}, {el41, el42}}

Round double in two decimal places in C#?

You should use

inputvalue=Math.Round(inputValue, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)

Math.Round

Math.Round rounds a double-precision floating-point value to a specified number of fractional digits.

MidpointRounding

Specifies how mathematical rounding methods should process a number that is midway between two numbers.

Basically the function above will take your inputvalue and round it to 2 (or whichever number you specify) decimal places. With MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero when a number is halfway between two others, it is rounded toward the nearest number that is away from zero. There is also another option you can use that rounds towards the nearest even number.

Creating an instance using the class name and calling constructor

Very Simple way to create an object in Java using Class<?> with constructor argument(s) passing:

Case 1:- Here, is a small code in this Main class:

import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException, SecurityException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException {

        // Get class name as string.
        String myClassName = Base.class.getName();
        // Create class of type Base.
        Class<?> myClass = Class.forName(myClassName);
        // Create constructor call with argument types.
        Constructor<?> ctr = myClass.getConstructor(String.class);
        // Finally create object of type Base and pass data to constructor.
        String arg1 = "My User Data";
        Object object = ctr.newInstance(new Object[] { arg1 });
        // Type-cast and access the data from class Base.
        Base base = (Base)object;
        System.out.println(base.data);
    }

}

And, here is the Base class structure:

public class Base {

    public String data = null;

    public Base() 
    {
        data = "default";
        System.out.println("Base()");
    }

    public Base(String arg1) {
        data = arg1;
        System.out.println("Base("+arg1+")");
    }

}

Case 2:- You, can code similarly for constructor with multiple argument and copy constructor. For example, passing 3 arguments as parameter to the Base constructor will need the constructor to be created in class and a code change in above as:

Constructor<?> ctr = myClass.getConstructor(String.class, String.class, String.class);
Object object = ctr.newInstance(new Object[] { "Arg1", "Arg2", "Arg3" }); 

And here the Base class should somehow look like:

public class Base {

    public Base(String a, String b, String c){
        // This constructor need to be created in this case.
    }   
}

Note:- Don't forget to handle the various exceptions which need to be handled in the code.

Why is it that "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI" here?

You need to map the unique route to specify your parameters as query elements. In RouteConfig.cs (or WebApiConfig.cs) add:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "MyPagedQuery",
            routeTemplate:     "api/{controller}/{action}/{firstId}/{countToFetch}",
            defaults: new { action = "GetNDepartmentsFromID" }
        );

git: How to diff changed files versus previous versions after a pull?

If you do a straight git pull then you will either be 'fast-forwarded' or merge an unknown number of commits from the remote repository. This happens as one action though, so the last commit that you were at immediately before the pull will be the last entry in the reflog and can be accessed as HEAD@{1}. This means that you can do:

git diff HEAD@{1}

However, I would strongly recommend that if this is something you find yourself doing a lot then you should consider just doing a git fetch and examining the fetched branch before manually merging or rebasing onto it. E.g. if you're on master and were going to pull in origin/master:

git fetch

git log HEAD..origin/master

 # looks good, lets merge

git merge origin/master

async at console app in C#?

As a quick and very scoped solution:

Task.Result

Both Task.Result and Task.Wait won't allow to improving scalability when used with I/O, as they will cause the calling thread to stay blocked waiting for the I/O to end.

When you call .Result on an incomplete Task, the thread executing the method has to sit and wait for the task to complete, which blocks the thread from doing any other useful work in the meantime. This negates the benefit of the asynchronous nature of the task.

Google Maps: How to create a custom InfoWindow?

Why does a base64 encoded string have an = sign at the end

It's padding. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64:

In theory, the padding character is not needed for decoding, since the number of missing bytes can be calculated from the number of Base64 digits. In some implementations, the padding character is mandatory, while for others it is not used. One case in which padding characters are required is concatenating multiple Base64 encoded files.

JavaScript DOM remove element

Using Node.removeChild() does the job for you, simply use something like this:

var leftSection = document.getElementById('left-section');
leftSection.parentNode.removeChild(leftSection);

In DOM 4, the remove method applied, but there is a poor browser support according to W3C:

The method node.remove() is implemented in the DOM 4 specification. But because of poor browser support, you should not use it.

But you can use remove method if you using jQuery...

$('#left-section').remove(); //using remove method in jQuery

Also in new frameworks like you can use conditions to remove an element, for example *ngIf in Angular and in React, rendering different views, depends on the conditions...

How do I skip an iteration of a `foreach` loop?

Another approach using linq is:

foreach ( int number in numbers.Skip(1))
{   
    // process number  
}

If you want to skip the first in a number of items.

Or use .SkipWhere if you want to specify a condition for skipping.

Is there a way to check if a file is in use?

You can suffer from a thread race condition on this which there are documented examples of this being used as a security vulnerability. If you check that the file is available, but then try and use it you could throw at that point, which a malicious user could use to force and exploit in your code.

Your best bet is a try catch / finally which tries to get the file handle.

try
{
   using (Stream stream = new FileStream("MyFilename.txt", FileMode.Open))
   {
        // File/Stream manipulating code here
   }
} catch {
  //check here why it failed and ask user to retry if the file is in use.
}

C++ Object Instantiation

I've seen this anti-pattern from people who don't quite get the & address-of operator. If they need to call a function with a pointer, they'll always allocate on the heap so they get a pointer.

Dog* badDog = new Dog;
FeedTheDog(badDog);
delete badDog;

Dog goodDog;
FeedTheDog(&goodDog);

DataColumn Name from DataRow (not DataTable)

    }
    }

Bulk Insert into Oracle database: Which is better: FOR Cursor loop or a simple Select?

As you can see by reading the other answers, there are a lot of options available. If you are just doing < 10k rows you should go with the second option.

In short, for approx > 10k all the way to say a <100k. It is kind of a gray area. A lot of old geezers will bark at big rollback segments. But honestly hardware and software have made amazing progress to where you may be able to get away with option 2 for a lot of records if you only run the code a few times. Otherwise you should probably commit every 1k-10k or so rows. Here is a snippet that I use. I like it because it is short and I don't have to declare a cursor. Plus it has the benefits of bulk collect and forall.

begin
    for r in (select rownum rn, t.* from foo t) loop
        insert into bar (A,B,C) values (r.A,r.B,r.C);
        if mod(rn,1000)=0 then
            commit;
        end if;
    end;
    commit;
end;

I found this link from the oracle site that illustrates the options in more detail.

Constructor overloading in Java - best practice

It really depends on the kind of classes as not all classes are created equal.

As general guideline I would suggest 2 options:

  • For value & immutable classes (Exception, Integer, DTOs and such) use single primary constructor as suggested in above answer
  • For everything else (session beans, services, mutable objects, JPA & JAXB entities and so on) use default constructor only with sensible defaults on all the properties so it can be used without additional configuration

nano error: Error opening terminal: xterm-256color

I, too, have this problem on an older Mac that I upgraded to Lion.

Before reading the terminfo tip, I was able to get vi and less working by doing "export TERM=xterm".

Now, even though echo $TERM still yields xterm-256color, vi and less now work fine.

How do I find Waldo with Mathematica?

I've found Waldo!

waldo had been found

How I've done it

First, I'm filtering out all colours that aren't red

waldo = Import["http://www.findwaldo.com/fankit/graphics/IntlManOfLiterature/Scenes/DepartmentStore.jpg"];
red = Fold[ImageSubtract, #[[1]], Rest[#]] &@ColorSeparate[waldo];

Next, I'm calculating the correlation of this image with a simple black and white pattern to find the red and white transitions in the shirt.

corr = ImageCorrelate[red, 
   Image@Join[ConstantArray[1, {2, 4}], ConstantArray[0, {2, 4}]], 
   NormalizedSquaredEuclideanDistance];

I use Binarize to pick out the pixels in the image with a sufficiently high correlation and draw white circle around them to emphasize them using Dilation

pos = Dilation[ColorNegate[Binarize[corr, .12]], DiskMatrix[30]];

I had to play around a little with the level. If the level is too high, too many false positives are picked out.

Finally I'm combining this result with the original image to get the result above

When you zip() together three lists containing 20 elements each, the result has twenty elements. Each element is a three-tuple.

See for yourself:

In [1]: a = b = c = range(20)

In [2]: zip(a, b, c)
Out[2]: 
[(0, 0, 0),
 (1, 1, 1),
 ...
 (17, 17, 17),
 (18, 18, 18),
 (19, 19, 19)]

To find out how many elements each tuple contains, you could examine the length of the first element:

In [3]: result = zip(a, b, c)

In [4]: len(result[0])
Out[4]: 3

Of course, this won't work if the lists were empty to start with.

git replacing LF with CRLF

OP's question is windows related and I could not use others without going to the directory or even running file in Notepad++ as administrator did not work.. So had to go this route:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc>git config --global core.autocrlf false

How do I create a basic UIButton programmatically?

This is an example as well to create three buttons. Just move their location.

UIImage *buttonOff = [UIImage imageNamed:@"crysBallNorm.png"];
UIImage *buttonOn = [UIImage imageNamed:@"crysBallHigh.png"];

UIButton *predictButton = [UIButton alloc];
predictButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
predictButton.frame = CGRectMake(180.0, 510.0, 120.0, 30.0);
[predictButton setBackgroundImage:buttonOff forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[predictButton setBackgroundImage:buttonOn forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[predictButton setTitle:@"Predict" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[predictButton setTitleColor:[UIColor purpleColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[predictButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:predictButton];

What is /dev/null 2>&1?

Let's break >> /dev/null 2>&1 statement into parts:


Part 1: >> output redirection

This is used to redirect the program output and append the output at the end of the file. More...


Part 2: /dev/null special file

This is a Pseudo-devices special file.

Command ls -l /dev/null will give you details of this file:

crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 20 18:37 /dev/null

Did you observe crw? Which means it is a pseudo-device file which is of character-special-file type that provides serial access.

/dev/null accepts and discards all input; produces no output (always returns an end-of-file indication on a read). Reference: Wikipedia


Part 3: 2>&1 file descriptor

Whenever you execute a program, the operating system always opens three files, standard input, standard output, and standard error as we know whenever a file is opened, the operating system (from kernel) returns a non-negative integer called a file descriptor. The file descriptor for these files are 0, 1, and 2, respectively.

So 2>&1 simply says redirect standard error to standard output.

& means whatever follows is a file descriptor, not a filename.

In short, by using this command you are telling your program not to shout while executing.

What is the importance of using 2>&1?

If you don't want to produce any output, even in case of some error produced in the terminal. To explain more clearly, let's consider the following example:

$ ls -l > /dev/null

For the above command, no output was printed in the terminal, but what if this command produces an error:

$ ls -l file_doesnot_exists > /dev/null
ls: cannot access file_doesnot_exists: No such file or directory

Despite I'm redirecting output to /dev/null, it is printed in the terminal. It is because we are not redirecting error output to /dev/null, so in order to redirect error output as well, it is required to add 2>&1:

$ ls -l file_doesnot_exists > /dev/null 2>&1

Android AudioRecord example

Generate a random point within a circle (uniformly)

Let ? (radius) and f (azimuth) be two random variables corresponding to polar coordinates of an arbitrary point inside the circle. If the points are uniformly distributed then what is the disribution function of ? and f?

For any r: 0 < r < R the probability of radius coordinate ? to be less then r is

P[? < r] = P[point is within a circle of radius r] = S1 / S0 =(r/R)2

Where S1 and S0 are the areas of circle of radius r and R respectively. So the CDF can be given as:

          0          if r<=0
  CDF =   (r/R)**2   if 0 < r <= R
          1          if r > R

And PDF:

PDF = d/dr(CDF) = 2 * (r/R**2) (0 < r <= R).

Note that for R=1 random variable sqrt(X) where X is uniform on [0, 1) has this exact CDF (because P[sqrt(X) < y] = P[x < y**2] = y**2 for 0 < y <= 1).

The distribution of f is obviously uniform from 0 to 2*p. Now you can create random polar coordinates and convert them to Cartesian using trigonometric equations:

x = ? * cos(f)
y = ? * sin(f)

Can't resist to post python code for R=1.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

rho = np.sqrt(np.random.uniform(0, 1, 5000))
phi = np.random.uniform(0, 2*np.pi, 5000)

x = rho * np.cos(phi)
y = rho * np.sin(phi)

plt.scatter(x, y, s = 4)

You will get

Subtract two dates in SQL and get days of the result

EDIT: It seems I was wrong about the performance on the code example. The best performer is whichever snippet runs second in the posted case. This demonstrates what I was trying to explain, and the time differences are not as dramatic:

----------------------------------
--  Monitor time differences
----------------------------------
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX dtIDX ON #ArbDates (MyDate)
DECLARE @Stopwatch DATETIME 
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()
    -- SARGABLE
    SELECT *
    FROM #ArbDates
    WHERE MyDate > DATEADD(DAY, -364, '2010-01-01')


PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()
    -- NOT SARGABLE
    SELECT *
    FROM #ArbDates
    WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, MyDate, '2010-01-01') < 365
PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())

Excuse me for posting late and my crudely commented example, but I think it important to mention SARG.

SELECT I.Fee
FROM Item I
WHERE  I.DateCreated > DATEADD(DAY, -364, GETDATE())

Although the temp table in the code below has no index, the performance is still enhanced by the fact that a comparison is done between an expression and a value in the table and not an expression that modifies the value in the table and a constant. Hope this is found to be useful.

USE tempdb
GO

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#ArbDates') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #ArbDates
DECLARE @Stopwatch DATETIME 

----------------------------------
--  Build test data: 100000 rows
----------------------------------
;WITH Base10 (n) AS
(
    SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL
    SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL
    SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL  SELECT 1 UNION ALL

    SELECT 1

----------------------------------
--  Monitor time differences
----------------------------------
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()

    -- NOT SARGABLE
    SELECT *
    FROM #ArbDates
    WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY, MyDate, '2010-01-01') < 365

PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())
SET @Stopwatch = GETDATE()

    -- SARGABLE
    SELECT *
    FROM #ArbDates
    WHERE MyDate > DATEADD(DAY, -364, '2010-01-01')

PRINT DATEDIFF(MS, @Stopwatch, GETDATE())

null vs empty string in Oracle

This is because Oracle internally changes empty string to NULL values. Oracle simply won't let insert an empty string.

On the other hand, SQL Server would let you do what you are trying to achieve.

There are 2 workarounds here:

  1. Use another column that states whether the 'description' field is valid or not
  2. Use some dummy value for the 'description' field where you want it to store empty string. (i.e. set the field to be 'stackoverflowrocks' assuming your real data will never encounter such a description value)

Both are, of course, stupid workarounds :)

How to make a HTTP PUT request?

My Final Approach:

    public void PutObject(string postUrl, object payload)
        {
            var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(postUrl);
            request.Method = "PUT";
            request.ContentType = "application/xml";
            if (payload !=null)
            {
                request.ContentLength = Size(payload);
                Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
                Serialize(dataStream,payload);
                dataStream.Close();
            }

            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            string returnString = response.StatusCode.ToString();
        }

public void Serialize(Stream output, object input)
            {
                var ser = new DataContractSerializer(input.GetType());
                ser.WriteObject(output, input);
            }

Python: Random numbers into a list

You could use random.sample to generate the list with one call:

import random
my_randoms = random.sample(range(100), 10)

That generates numbers in the (inclusive) range from 0 to 99. If you want 1 to 100, you could use this (thanks to @martineau for pointing out my convoluted solution):

my_randoms = random.sample(range(1, 101), 10)

JavaScript: Alert.Show(message) From ASP.NET Code-behind

Try this method:

public static void Show(string message) 
{                
    string cleanMessage = message.Replace("'", "\'");                               
    Page page = HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler as Page; 
    string script = string.Format("alert('{0}');", cleanMessage);
    if (page != null && !page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("alert")) 
    {
        page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(page.GetType(), "alert", script, true /* addScriptTags */);
    } 
} 

In Vb.Net

Public Sub Show(message As String)
    Dim cleanMessage As String = message.Replace("'", "\'")
    Dim page As Page = HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler
    Dim script As String = String.Format("alert('{0}');", cleanMessage)
    If (page IsNot Nothing And Not page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("alert")) Then
        page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(page.GetType(), "alert", script, True) ' /* addScriptTags */
    End If
End Sub

Powershell: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument "xxx"

In my case I had tried to make code more readable by putting:

"LONGTEXTSTRING " +
"LONGTEXTSTRING" +
"LONGTEXTSTRING"

Once I changed it to

LONGTEXTSTRING LONGTEXTSTRING LONGTEXTSTRING 

Then it worked

Git diff against a stash

One way to do this without moving anything is to take advantage of the fact that patch can read git diff's (unified diffs basically)

git stash show -p | patch -p1 --verbose --dry-run

This will show you a step-by-step preview of what patch would ordinarily do. The added benefit to this is that patch won't prevent itself from writing the patch to the working tree either, if for some reason you just really need git to shut up about commiting-before-modifying, go ahead and remove --dry-run and follow the verbose instructions.

Convenient way to parse incoming multipart/form-data parameters in a Servlet

multipart/form-data encoded requests are indeed not by default supported by the Servlet API prior to version 3.0. The Servlet API parses the parameters by default using application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding. When using a different encoding, the request.getParameter() calls will all return null. When you're already on Servlet 3.0 (Glassfish 3, Tomcat 7, etc), then you can use HttpServletRequest#getParts() instead. Also see this blog for extended examples.

Prior to Servlet 3.0, a de facto standard to parse multipart/form-data requests would be using Apache Commons FileUpload. Just carefully read its User Guide and Frequently Asked Questions sections to learn how to use it. I've posted an answer with a code example before here (it also contains an example targeting Servlet 3.0).

DataTables: Cannot read property style of undefined

I resolved this error, by replacing the src attribute with https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js, the problem is caused by the slim version of JQuery.

Is there a typical state machine implementation pattern?

In my experience using the 'switch' statement is the standard way to handle multiple possible states. Although I am surpirsed that you are passing in a transition value to the per-state processing. I thought the whole point of a state machine was that each state performed a single action. Then the next action/input determines which new state to transition into. So I would have expected each state processing function to immediately perform whatever is fixed for entering state and then afterwards decide if transition is needed to another state.

C++ calling base class constructors

Imagine it like this: When your sub-class inherits properties from a super-class, they don't magically appear. You still have to construct the object. So, you call the base constructor. Imagine if you class inherits a variable, which your super-class constructor initializes to an important value. If we didn't do this, your code could fail because the variable wasn't initialized.

How to call a JavaScript function within an HTML body

Try wrapping the createtable(); statement in a <script> tag:

<table>
        <tr>
            <th>Balance</th>
            <th>Fee</th>

        </tr>
        <script>createtable();</script>
</table>

I would avoid using document.write() and use the DOM if I were you though.
