Programs & Examples On #Dynamic linking

Dynamic linking is a system which allows libraries to remain separate from programs until loaded, contrast static linking.

When to use dynamic vs. static libraries

Besides the technical implications of static vs dynamic libraries (static files bundle everything in one big binary vs dynamic libraries that allow code sharing among several different executables), there are the legal implications.

For example, if you are using LGPL licensed code and you link statically against a LGPL library (and thus create one big binary), your code automatically becomes Open Sourced (free as in freedom) LGPL code. If you link against a shared objects, then you only need to LGPL the improvements / bug fixes that you make to the LGPL library itself.

This becomes a far more important issue if you are deciding how to compile you mobile applications for example (in Android you have a choice of static vs dynamic, in iOS you do not - it is always static).

Telling gcc directly to link a library statically

You can add .a file in the linking command:

  gcc yourfiles /path/to/library/libLIBRARY.a

But this is not talking with gcc driver, but with ld linker as options like -Wl,anything are.

When you tell gcc or ld -Ldir -lLIBRARY, linker will check both static and dynamic versions of library (you can see a process with -Wl,--verbose). To change order of library types checked you can use -Wl,-Bstatic and -Wl,-Bdynamic. Here is a man page of gnu LD: http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld

To link your program with lib1, lib3 dynamically and lib2 statically, use such gcc call:

gcc program.o -llib1 -Wl,-Bstatic -llib2 -Wl,-Bdynamic -llib3

Assuming that default setting of ld is to use dynamic libraries (it is on Linux).

Static linking vs dynamic linking

Static linking includes the files that the program needs in a single executable file.

Dynamic linking is what you would consider the usual, it makes an executable that still requires DLLs and such to be in the same directory (or the DLLs could be in the system folder).

(DLL = dynamic link library)

Dynamically linked executables are compiled faster and aren't as resource-heavy.

How do I configure Maven for offline development?

Answering your question directly: it does not require an internet connection, but access to a repository, on LAN or local disk (use hints from other people who posted here).

If your project is not in a mature phase, that means when POMs are changed quite often, offline mode will be very impractical, as you'll have to update your repository quite often, too. Unless you can get a copy of a repository that has everything you need, but how would you know? Usually you start a repository from scratch and it gets cloned gradually during development (on a computer connected to another repository). A copy of the repo1.maven.org public repository weighs hundreds of gigabytes, so I wouldn't recommend brute force, either.

How can I know if a branch has been already merged into master?

Here are my techniques when I need to figure out if a branch has been merged, even if it may have been rebased to be up to date with our main branch, which is a common scenario for feature branches.

Neither of these approaches are fool proof, but I've found them useful many times.

1 Show log for all branches

Using a visual tool like gitk or TortoiseGit, or simply git log with --all, go through the history to see all the merges to the main branch. You should be able to spot if this particular feature branch has been merged or not.

2 Always remove remote branch when merging in a feature branch

If you have a good habit of always removing both the local and the remote branch when you merge in a feature branch, then you can simply update and prune remotes on your other computer and the feature branches will disappear.

To help remember doing this, I'm already using git flow extensions (AVH edition) to create and merge my feature branches locally, so I added the following git flow hook to ask me if I also want to auto-remove the remote branch.

Example create/finish feature branch

554 Andreas:MyRepo(develop)$ git flow start tmp
Switched to a new branch 'feature/tmp'

Summary of actions:
- A new branch 'feature/tmp' was created, based on 'develop'
- You are now on branch 'feature/tmp'

Now, start committing on your feature. When done, use:

     git flow feature finish tmp

555 Andreas:MyRepo(feature/tmp)$ git flow finish
Switched to branch 'develop'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'if/develop'.
Already up-to-date.

[post-flow-feature-finish] Delete remote branch? (Y/n)
Deleting remote branch: origin/feature/tmp.

Deleted branch feature/tmp (was 02a3356).

Summary of actions:
- The feature branch 'feature/tmp' was merged into 'develop'
- Feature branch 'feature/tmp' has been locally deleted
- You are now on branch 'develop'

556 Andreas:ScDesktop (develop)$

.git/hooks/post-flow-feature-finish

NAME=$1
ORIGIN=$2
BRANCH=$3

# Delete remote branch
# Allows us to read user input below, assigns stdin to keyboard
exec < /dev/tty

while true; do
  read -p "[post-flow-feature-finish] Delete remote branch? (Y/n) " yn
  if [ "$yn" = "" ]; then
    yn='Y'    
  fi
  case $yn in
      [Yy] ) 
        echo -e "\e[31mDeleting remote branch: $2/$3.\e[0m" || exit "$?"
        git push $2 :$3; 
        break;;
      [Nn] ) 
        echo -e "\e[32mKeeping remote branch.\e[0m" || exit "$?"
        break;;
      * ) echo "Please answer y or n for yes or no.";;
  esac
done

# Stop reading user input (close STDIN)
exec <&-
exit 0

3 Search by commit message

If you do not always remove the remote branch, you can still search for similar commits to determine if the branch has been merged or not. The pitfall here is if the remote branch has been rebased to the unrecognizable, such as squashing commits or changing commit messages.

  • Fetch and prune all remotes
  • Find message of last commit on feature branch
  • See if a commit with same message can be found on master branch

Example commands on master branch:

gru                   
gls origin/feature/foo
glf "my message"

In my bash .profile config

alias gru='git remote update -p'
alias glf=findCommitByMessage

findCommitByMessage() {
    git log -i --grep="$1"
}

ng-if, not equal to?

I don't like "hacks" but in a quick pinch for a deadline I have done this

<li ng-if="edit === false && filtered.length === 0">
    <p ng-if="group.title != 'Dispatcher News'" style="padding: 5px">No links in group.</p>
</li>

Yes, I have another inner nested ng-if, I just didn't like too many conditions on one line.

How do I disable right click on my web page?

If your aim is to prevent people being able to download your images, as most people have said, disabling right click is pretty much ineffective.

Assuming you are trying to protect images the alternative methods are -

Using a flash player, users can't download them as such, but they could easily do a screen capture.

If you want to be more akward, make the image the background of a div, containing a transparent image, à la -

<div style="background-image: url(YourImage.jpg);">
   <img src="transparent.gif"/>
</div>

will be enough to deter the casual theft of your images (see below for a sample), but as with all these techniques, is trivial to defeat with a basic understanding of html.

file path Windows format to java format

Just check

in MacOS

File directory = new File("/Users/sivo03/eclipse-workspace/For4DC/AutomationReportBackup/"+dir);
File directoryApache = new File("/Users/sivo03/Automation/apache-tomcat-9.0.22/webapps/AutomationReport/"+dir); 

and same we use in windows

File directory = new File("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Jenkins\\workspace\\BrokenLinkCheckerALL\\AutomationReportBackup\\"+dir);
File directoryApache = new File("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\Automation\\apache-tomcat-9.0.26\\webapps\\AutomationReports\\"+dir);

use double backslash instead of single frontslash

so no need any converter tool just use find and replace

"C:\Documents and Settings\Manoj\Desktop" to "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Manoj\\Desktop"

Angular 2 ngfor first, last, index loop

By this you can get any index in *ngFor loop in ANGULAR ...

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let object of myArray; let i = index; let first = first ;let last = last;">
    <div *ngIf="first">
       // write your code...
    </div>

    <div *ngIf="last">
       // write your code...
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

We can use these alias in *ngFor

  • index : number : let i = index to get all index of object.
  • first : boolean : let first = first to get first index of object.
  • last : boolean : let last = last to get last index of object.
  • odd : boolean : let odd = odd to get odd index of object.
  • even : boolean : let even = even to get even index of object.

read file from assets

@HpTerm answer Kotlin version:

private fun getDataFromAssets(activity: Activity): String {

    var bufferedReader: BufferedReader? = null
    var data = ""

    try {
        bufferedReader = BufferedReader(
            InputStreamReader(
                activity?.assets?.open("Your_FILE.html"),
                "UTF-8"
            )
        )                  //use assets? directly if in activity

        var mLine:String? = bufferedReader.readLine()
        while (mLine != null) {
            data+= mLine
            mLine=bufferedReader.readLine()
        }

    } catch (e: Exception) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    } finally {
        try {
            bufferedReader?.close()
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
    return data
}

Setting DataContext in XAML in WPF

This code will always fail.

As written, it says: "Look for a property named "Employee" on my DataContext property, and set it to the DataContext property". Clearly that isn't right.

To get your code to work, as is, change your window declaration to:

<Window x:Class="SampleApplication.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SampleApplication"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.DataContext>
   <local:Employee/>
</Window.DataContext>

This declares a new XAML namespace (local) and sets the DataContext to an instance of the Employee class. This will cause your bindings to display the default data (from your constructor).

However, it is highly unlikely this is actually what you want. Instead, you should have a new class (call it MainViewModel) with an Employee property that you then bind to, like this:

public class MainViewModel
{
   public Employee MyEmployee { get; set; } //In reality this should utilize INotifyPropertyChanged!
}

Now your XAML becomes:

<Window x:Class="SampleApplication.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SampleApplication"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.DataContext>
       <local:MainViewModel/>
    </Window.DataContext>
    ...
    <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Margin="3" Text="{Binding MyEmployee.EmpID}" />
    <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Margin="3" Text="{Binding MyEmployee.EmpName}" />

Now you can add other properties (of other types, names), etc. For more information, see Implementing the Model-View-ViewModel Pattern

Vue.js redirection to another page

To stay in line with your original request:

window.location.href = 'some_url'

You can do something like this:

<div @click="this.window.location='some_url'">
</div>

Note that this does not take advantage of using Vue's router, but if you want to "make a redirection in Vue.js similar to the vanilla javascript", this would work.

Is SQL syntax case sensitive?

This isn't strictly SQL language, but in SQL Server if your database collation is case-sensitive, then all table names are case-sensitive.

static files with express.js

In the newest version of express the "createServer" is deprecated. This example works for me:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');

//app.use(express.static(__dirname)); // Current directory is root
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); //  "public" off of current is root

app.listen(80);
console.log('Listening on port 80');

How to get the CUDA version?

if nvcc --version is not working for you then use cat /usr/local/cuda/version.txt

laravel 5.4 upload image

This code will store the image in database.

$('#image').change(function(){
        // FileReader function for read the file.
        let reader = new FileReader();
        var base64;
        reader.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]); 

        //Read File
        let filereader = new FileReader();
        var selectedFile = this.files[0];

        // Onload of file read the file content
        filereader.onload = function(fileLoadedEvent) {
            base64 = fileLoadedEvent.target.result;
            $("#pimage").val(JSON.stringify(base64));
        };

        filereader.readAsDataURL(selectedFile); 
 });

HTML content should be like this.

<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-md-4 user_frm form-group">
        <input id="image" type="file" class="inputMaterial" name="image">        
        <input type="hidden" id="pimage" name="pimage" value="">
        <span class="bar"></span>
    </div>

Store image data in database like this:

//property_image longtext(database field type)

 $data= array(
      'property_image' => trim($request->get('pimage'),'"')
 );

Display image:

<img src="{{$result->property_image}}" >

Fetching data from MySQL database to html dropdown list

# here database details      
mysql_connect('hostname', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database-name');

$sql = "SELECT username FROM userregistraton";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo "<select name='username'>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "<option value='" . $row['username'] ."'>" . $row['username'] ."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

# here username is the column of my table(userregistration)
# it works perfectly

Show data on mouseover of circle

A really good way to make a tooltip is described here: Simple D3 tooltip example

You have to append a div

var tooltip = d3.select("body")
    .append("div")
    .style("position", "absolute")
    .style("z-index", "10")
    .style("visibility", "hidden")
    .text("a simple tooltip");

Then you can just toggle it using

.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){return tooltip.style("top",
    (d3.event.pageY-10)+"px").style("left",(d3.event.pageX+10)+"px");})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});

d3.event.pageX / d3.event.pageY is the current mouse coordinate.

If you want to change the text you can use tooltip.text("my tooltip text");

Android Pop-up message

You can use Dialog to create this easily

create a Dialog instance using the context

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(contex);

You can design your layout as you like.

You can add this layout to your dialog by dialog.setContentView(R.layout.popupview);//popup view is the layout you created

then you can access its content (textviews, etc.) by using findViewById method

TextView txt = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(R.id.textbox);

you can add any text here. the text can be stored in the String.xml file in res\values.

txt.setText(getString(R.string.message));

then finally show the pop up menu

dialog.show();

Export/import jobs in Jenkins

Probably use jenkins command line is another option, see https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI

  • create-job: Creates a new job by reading stdin as a configuration XML file.
  • get-job: Dumps the job definition XML to stdout

So you can do

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://server get-job myjob > myjob.xml
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://server create-job newmyjob < myjob.xml

It works fine for me and I am used to store in inside my version control system

How can I get the list of files in a directory using C or C++?

Shreevardhan answer works great. But if you want to use it in c++14 just make a change namespace fs = experimental::filesystem;

i.e.,

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>

using namespace std;
namespace fs = experimental::filesystem;

int main()
{
    string path = "C:\\splits\\";
    for (auto & p : fs::directory_iterator(path))
        cout << p << endl;
    int n;
    cin >> n;
}

Html table tr inside td

You can solve without nesting tables.

JQuery, Spring MVC @RequestBody and JSON - making it work together

In Addition you also need to be sure that you have

 <context:annotation-config/> 

in your SPring configuration xml.

I also would recommend you to read this blog post. It helped me alot. Spring blog - Ajax Simplifications in Spring 3.0

Update:

just checked my working code where I have @RequestBody working correctly. I also have this bean in my config:

<bean id="jacksonMessageConverter" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"></bean>
 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
  <list>
    <ref bean="jacksonMessageConverter"/>
  </list>
</property>
</bean>

May be it would be nice to see what Log4j is saying. it usually gives more information and from my experience the @RequestBody will fail if your request's content type is not Application/JSON. You can run Fiddler 2 to test it, or even Mozilla Live HTTP headers plugin can help.

Custom Listview Adapter with filter Android

Just an update.

If the ticked answer is working fine for you but it shows nothing when the search text is empty. Here is the solution:

private class ItemFilter extends Filter {
    @Override
    protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
        
        String filterString = constraint.toString().toLowerCase();
        
        FilterResults results = new FilterResults();

        if(constraint.length() == 0)
        {
            results.count = originalData.size();
            results.values = originalData;
        }else {

        
        final List<String> list = originalData;

        int count = list.size();
        final ArrayList<String> nlist = new ArrayList<String>(count);

        String filterableString ;
        
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            filterableString = list.get(i);
            if (filterableString.toLowerCase().contains(filterString)) {
                nlist.add(filterableString);
            }
        }
        
        results.values = nlist;
        results.count = nlist.size();
     }
        return results;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
        filteredData = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
      }

   }

Error 405 (Method Not Allowed) Laravel 5

The methodNotAllowed exception indicates that a route doesn't exist for the HTTP method you are requesting.

Your form is set up to make a DELETE request, so your route needs to use Route::delete() to receive this.

Route::delete('empresas/eliminar/{id}', [
        'as' => 'companiesDelete',
        'uses' => 'CompaniesController@delete'

How do you stylize a font in Swift?

A great resource is iosfonts.com, which says that the name for that font is HelveticaNeue-UltraLight. So you'd use this code:

label.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-UltraLight", size: 30)

If the system can't find the font, it defaults to a 'normal' font - I think it's something like 11-point Helvetica. This can be quite confusing, always check your font names.

json_encode function: special characters

Use the below function.

function utf8_converter($array)
{
    array_walk_recursive($array, function (&$item, $key) {
        if (!mb_detect_encoding($item, 'utf-8', true)) {
                $item = utf8_encode($item);
        }
    });

    return $array;
}

Add item to array in VBScript

There are a few ways, not including a custom COM or ActiveX object

  1. ReDim Preserve
  2. Dictionary object, which can have string keys and search for them
  3. ArrayList .Net Framework Class, which has many methods including: sort (forward, reverse, custom), insert, remove, binarysearch, equals, toArray, and toString

With the code below, I found Redim Preserve is fastest below 54000, Dictionary is fastest from 54000 to 690000, and Array List is fastest above 690000. I tend to use ArrayList for pushing because of the sorting and array conversion.

user326639 provided FastArray, which is pretty much the fastest.

Dictionaries are useful for searching for the value and returning the index (i.e. field names), or for grouping and aggregation (histograms, group and add, group and concatenate strings, group and push sub-arrays). When grouping on keys, set CompareMode for case in/sensitivity, and check the "exists" property before "add"-ing.

Redim wouldn't save much time for one array, but it's useful for a dictionary of arrays.

Specify the date format in XMLGregorianCalendar

This is an easy way for any format. Just change it to required format string

XMLGregorianCalendar gregFmt = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").format(new Date()));
System.out.println(gregFmt);

ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com: Name or service not known; fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Recently, I have seen this problem too. Below, you have my solution:

  1. ping github.com, if ping failed. it is DNS error.
  2. sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf, the add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

Or it can be a genuine network issue. Restart your network-manager using sudo service network-manager restart or fix it up


I have just received this error after switching from HTTPS to SSH (for my origin remote). To fix, I simply ran the following command (for each repo):

ssh -T [email protected]

Upon receiving a successful response, I could fetch/push to the repo with ssh.

I took that command from Git's Testing your SSH connection guide, which is part of the greater Connecting to GitHub with with SSH guide.

How to implement a confirmation (yes/no) DialogPreference?

That is a simple alert dialog, Federico gave you a site where you can look things up.

Here is a short example of how an alert dialog can be built.

new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Title")
.setMessage("Do you really want to whatever?")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Yaay", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }})
 .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, null).show();

What is the best way to declare global variable in Vue.js?

As you need access to your hostname variable in every component, and to change it to localhost while in development mode, or to production hostname when in production mode, you can define this variable in the prototype.

Like this:

Vue.prototype.$hostname = 'http://localhost:3000'

And $hostname will be available in all Vue instances:

new Vue({
  beforeCreate: function () {
    console.log(this.$hostname)
  }
})

In my case, to automatically change from development to production, I've defined the $hostname prototype according to a Vue production tip variable in the file where I instantiated the Vue.

Like this:

Vue.config.productionTip = false
Vue.prototype.$hostname = (Vue.config.productionTip) ? 'https://hostname' : 'http://localhost:3000'

An example can be found in the docs: Documentation on Adding Instance Properties

More about production tip config can be found here:

Vue documentation for production tip

JavaScript string with new line - but not using \n

The query string that I used to to escape the new line character in JS : LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Data.csv' INTO TABLE DEMO FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 ROWS;

This involves new ES6 syntax - Template Literals `` and I tried changing '\n' to '\r\n' and worked perfectly in my case.

PS: This example is my query to upload CSV data into mysql DB.

PostgreSQL, checking date relative to "today"

Why does Lua have no "continue" statement?

In Lua 5.2 the best workaround is to use goto:

-- prints odd numbers in [|1,10|]
for i=1,10 do
  if i % 2 == 0 then goto continue end
  print(i)
  ::continue::
end

This is supported in LuaJIT since version 2.0.1

What would be the best method to code heading/title for <ul> or <ol>, Like we have <caption> in <table>?

how about making the heading a list-element with different styles like so

<ul>
 <li class="heading">heading</li>
 <li>list item</li>
 <li>list item</li>
 <li>list item</li>
 <li>list item</li>
</ul>

and the CSS

ul .heading {font-weight: normal; list-style: none;}

additionally, use a reset CSS to set margins and paddings right on the ul and li. here's a good reset CSS. once you've reset the margins and paddings, you can apply some margin on the list-elements other than the one's with the heading class, to indent them.

CSS values using HTML5 data attribute

As of today, you can read some values from HTML5 data attributes in CSS3 declarations. In CaioToOn's fiddle the CSS code can use the data properties for setting the content.

Unfortunately it is not working for the width and height (tested in Google Chrome 35, Mozilla Firefox 30 & Internet Explorer 11).

But there is a CSS3 attr() Polyfill from Fabrice Weinberg which provides support for data-width and data-height. You can find the GitHub repo to it here: cssattr.js.

How to round 0.745 to 0.75 using BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP?

Never construct BigDecimals from floats or doubles. Construct them from ints or strings. floats and doubles loose precision.

This code works as expected (I just changed the type from double to String):

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String doubleVal = "1.745";
  String doubleVal1 = "0.745";
  BigDecimal bdTest = new BigDecimal(  doubleVal);
  BigDecimal bdTest1 = new BigDecimal(  doubleVal1 );
  bdTest = bdTest.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
  bdTest1 = bdTest1.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
  System.out.println("bdTest:"+bdTest); //1.75
  System.out.println("bdTest1:"+bdTest1);//0.75, no problem
}

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget - Android

I suggest a convenient way to solve this problem. Just assign the attribute "android:configChanges" value as followed in the Mainfest.xml for your errored activity. like this:

<activity android:name=".main.MainActivity"
              android:label="mainActivity"
              android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|navigation">
</activity>

the first solution I gave out had really reduced the frequency of OOM error to a low level. But, it did not solve the problem totally. And then I will give out the 2nd solution:

As the OOM detailed, I have used too much runtime memory. So, I reduce the picture size in ~/res/drawable of my project. Such as an overqualified picture which has a resolution of 128X128, could be resized to 64x64 which would also be suitable for my application. And after I did so with a pile of pictures, the OOM error doesn't occur again.

Mysql - delete from multiple tables with one query

You can use following query to delete rows from multiple tables,

DELETE table1, table2, table3 FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 INNER JOIN table3 WHERE table1.userid = table2.userid AND table2.userid = table3.userid AND table1.userid=3

Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 Authentication required

How to disable Excel's automatic cell reference change after copy/paste?

I found another workaround that is very simple: 1. Cut the contents 2. Paste them in the new location 3. Copy the contents that you just pasted into the new location you want. 4. Undo the Cut-Paste operation, putting the original contents back where you got them. 5. Paste the contents from the clipboard to the same location. These contents will have the original references.

It looks like a lot, but is super fast with keyboard shortcuts: 1. Ctrl-x, 2. Ctrl-v, 3. Ctrl-c, 4. Ctrl-z, 5. Ctrl-v

Where is the <conio.h> header file on Linux? Why can't I find <conio.h>?

That is because is does not exist, since it is bounded to Windows.

Use the standard functions from <stdio.h> instead, such as getc

The suggested ncurses library is good if you want to write console-based GUIs, but I don't think it is what you want.

How to select true/false based on column value?

Use a CASE. I would post the specific code, but need more information than is supplied in the post - such as the data type of EntityProfile and what is usually stored in it. Something like:

CASE WHEN EntityProfile IS NULL THEN 'False' ELSE 'True' END

Edit - the entire SELECT statement, as per the info in the comments:

SELECT EntityID, EntityName, 
       CASE WHEN EntityProfile IS NULL THEN 'False' ELSE 'True' END AS HasProfile
FROM Entity

No LEFT JOIN necessary in this case...

pycharm running way slow

Well Lorenz Lo Sauer already have a good question for this. but if you want to resolve this problem through the Pycharm Tuning (without turning off Pycharm code inspection). you can tuning the heap size as you need. since I prefer to use increasing Heap Size solution for slow running Pycharm Application.

You can tune up Heap Size by editing pycharm.exe.vmoptions file. and pycharm64.exe.vmoptions for 64bit application. and then edit -Xmx and -Xms value on it.

So I allocate 2048m for xmx and xms value (which is 2GB) for my Pycharm Heap Size. Here it is My Configuration. I have 8GB memory so I had set it up with this setting:

-server
-Xms2048m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=2048m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=2048m

save the setting, and restart IDE. And I enable "Show memory indicator" in settings->Appearance & Behavior->Appearance. to see it in action :

Pycharm slow, slow typing, increase Pycharm Heap Size

and Pycharm is quick and running fine now.

.do extension in web pages?

It is whatever it is configured to be on that particular web server. A web server could be configured to run .pl files with the php module and .aspx files with perl, although that would be silly. There are no scripts involved with most web servers, instead you'd have to look in your apache configuration files (or equivalent, if using different server software). If you have permission to edit the server config file, then you could make files ending in .do run as php, if that's what you're after.

Is unsigned integer subtraction defined behavior?

Well, the first interpretation is correct. However, your reasoning about the "signed semantics" in this context is wrong.

Again, your first interpretation is correct. Unsigned arithmetic follow the rules of modulo arithmetic, meaning that 0x0000 - 0x0001 evaluates to 0xFFFF for 32-bit unsigned types.

However, the second interpretation (the one based on "signed semantics") is also required to produce the same result. I.e. even if you evaluate 0 - 1 in the domain of signed type and obtain -1 as the intermediate result, this -1 is still required to produce 0xFFFF when later it gets converted to unsigned type. Even if some platform uses an exotic representation for signed integers (1's complement, signed magnitude), this platform is still required to apply rules of modulo arithmetic when converting signed integer values to unsigned ones.

For example, this evaluation

signed int a = 0, b = 1;
unsigned int c = a - b;

is still guaranteed to produce UINT_MAX in c, even if the platform is using an exotic representation for signed integers.

cv2.imshow command doesn't work properly in opencv-python

I faced the same issue. I tried to read an image from IDLE and tried to display it using cv2.imshow(), but the display window freezes and shows pythonw.exe is not responding when trying to close the window.

The post below gives a possible explanation for why this is happening

pythonw.exe is not responding

"Basically, don't do this from IDLE. Write a script and run it from the shell or the script directly if in windows, by naming it with a .pyw extension and double clicking it. There is apparently a conflict between IDLE's own event loop and the ones from GUI toolkits."

When I used imshow() in a script and execute it rather than running it directly over IDLE, it worked.

What is the bit size of long on 64-bit Windows?

Microsoft has also defined UINT_PTR and INT_PTR for integers that are the same size as a pointer.

Here is a list of Microsoft specific types - it's part of their driver reference, but I believe it's valid for general programming as well.

Check if starting characters of a string are alphabetical in T-SQL

You don't need to use regex, LIKE is sufficient:

WHERE my_field LIKE '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]%'

Assuming that by "alphabetical" you mean only latin characters, not anything classified as alphabetical in Unicode.

Note - if your collation is case sensitive, it's important to specify the range as [a-zA-Z]. [a-z] may exclude A or Z. [A-Z] may exclude a or z.

SQL Server tables: what is the difference between @, # and ##?

CREATE TABLE #t

Creates a table that is only visible on and during that CONNECTION the same user who creates another connection will not be able to see table #t from the other connection.

CREATE TABLE ##t

Creates a temporary table visible to other connections. But the table is dropped when the creating connection is ended.

Drop all tables command

Using pysqlite:

tables = list(cur.execute("select name from sqlite_master where type is 'table'"))

cur.executescript(';'.join(["drop table if exists %s" %i for i in tables]))

Using NOT operator in IF conditions

I never heard of this one before.

How is

if (doSomething()) {
} else {
   // blah
}

better than

if (!doSomething()) {
   // blah
}

The later is more clear and concise.

Besides the ! operator can appear in complex conditions such as (!a || b). How do you avoid it then?

Use the ! operator when you need.

What is the easiest way to push an element to the beginning of the array?

Since Ruby 2.5.0, Array ships with the prepend method (which is just an alias for the unshift method).

How to check if a class inherits another class without instantiating it?

To check for assignability, you can use the Type.IsAssignableFrom method:

typeof(SomeType).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(Derived))

This will work as you expect for type-equality, inheritance-relationships and interface-implementations but not when you are looking for 'assignability' across explicit / implicit conversion operators.

To check for strict inheritance, you can use Type.IsSubclassOf:

typeof(Derived).IsSubclassOf(typeof(SomeType))

How do I change the font size and color in an Excel Drop Down List?

You cannot change the default but there is a codeless workaround.

Select the whole sheet and change the font size on your data to something small, like 10 or 12. When you zoom in to view the data you will find that the drop down box entries are now visible.

To emphasize, the issue is not so much with the size of the font in the drop down, it is the relative size between drop down and data display font sizes.

Test if a property is available on a dynamic variable

I thought I'd do a comparison of Martijn's answer and svick's answer...

The following program returns the following results:

Testing with exception: 2430985 ticks
Testing with reflection: 155570 ticks

void Main()
{
    var random = new Random(Environment.TickCount);

    dynamic test = new Test();

    var sw = new Stopwatch();

    sw.Start();

    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
    {
        TestWithException(test, FlipCoin(random));
    }

    sw.Stop();

    Console.WriteLine("Testing with exception: " + sw.ElapsedTicks.ToString() + " ticks");

    sw.Restart();

    for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
    {
        TestWithReflection(test, FlipCoin(random));
    }

    sw.Stop();

    Console.WriteLine("Testing with reflection: " + sw.ElapsedTicks.ToString() + " ticks");
}

class Test
{
    public bool Exists { get { return true; } }
}

bool FlipCoin(Random random)
{
    return random.Next(2) == 0;
}

bool TestWithException(dynamic d, bool useExisting)
{
    try
    {
        bool result = useExisting ? d.Exists : d.DoesntExist;
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

bool TestWithReflection(dynamic d, bool useExisting)
{
    Type type = d.GetType();

    return type.GetProperties().Any(p => p.Name.Equals(useExisting ? "Exists" : "DoesntExist"));
}

As a result I'd suggest using reflection. See below.


Responding to bland's comment:

Ratios are reflection:exception ticks for 100000 iterations:

Fails 1/1: - 1:43 ticks
Fails 1/2: - 1:22 ticks
Fails 1/3: - 1:14 ticks
Fails 1/5: - 1:9 ticks
Fails 1/7: - 1:7 ticks
Fails 1/13: - 1:4 ticks
Fails 1/17: - 1:3 ticks
Fails 1/23: - 1:2 ticks
...
Fails 1/43: - 1:2 ticks
Fails 1/47: - 1:1 ticks

...fair enough - if you expect it to fail with a probability with less than ~1/47, then go for exception.


The above assumes that you're running GetProperties() each time. You may be able to speed up the process by caching the result of GetProperties() for each type in a dictionary or similar. This may help if you're checking against the same set of types over and again.

What can lead to "IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor" during os.system()?

You can get this error if you use wrong mode when opening the file. For example:

    with open(output, 'wb') as output_file:
        print output_file.read()

In that code, I want to read the file, but I use mode wb instead of r or r+

Set value to an entire column of a pandas dataframe

Assuming your Data frame is like 'Data' you have to consider if your data is a string or an integer. Both are treated differently. So in this case you need be specific about that.

import pandas as pd

data = [('001','xxx'), ('002','xxx'), ('003','xxx'), ('004','xxx'), ('005','xxx')]

df = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=['issueid', 'industry'])

print("Old DataFrame")
print(df)

df.loc[:,'industry'] = str('yyy')

print("New DataFrame")
print(df)

Now if want to put numbers instead of letters you must create and array

list_of_ones = [1,1,1,1,1]
df.loc[:,'industry'] = list_of_ones
print(df)

Or if you are using Numpy

import numpy as np
n = len(df)
df.loc[:,'industry'] = np.ones(n)
print(df)

endforeach in loops?

It's the end statement for the alternative syntax:

foreach ($foo as $bar) :
    ...
endforeach;

Useful to make code more readable if you're breaking out of PHP:

<?php foreach ($foo as $bar) : ?>
    <div ...>
        ...
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

What is the difference between canonical name, simple name and class name in Java Class?

I've been confused by the wide range of different naming schemes as well, and was just about to ask and answer my own question on this when I found this question here. I think my findings fit it well enough, and complement what's already here. My focus is looking for documentation on the various terms, and adding some more related terms that might crop up in other places.

Consider the following example:

package a.b;
class C {
  static class D extends C {
  }
  D d;
  D[] ds;
}
  • The simple name of D is D. That's just the part you wrote when declaring the class. Anonymous classes have no simple name. Class.getSimpleName() returns this name or the empty string. It is possible for the simple name to contain a $ if you write it like this, since $ is a valid part of an identifier as per JLS section 3.8 (even if it is somewhat discouraged).

  • According to the JLS section 6.7, both a.b.C.D and a.b.C.D.D.D would be fully qualified names, but only a.b.C.D would be the canonical name of D. So every canonical name is a fully qualified name, but the converse is not always true. Class.getCanonicalName() will return the canonical name or null.

  • Class.getName() is documented to return the binary name, as specified in JLS section 13.1. In this case it returns a.b.C$D for D and [La.b.C$D; for D[].

  • This answer demonstrates that it is possible for two classes loaded by the same class loader to have the same canonical name but distinct binary names. Neither name is sufficient to reliably deduce the other: if you have the canonical name, you don't know which parts of the name are packages and which are containing classes. If you have the binary name, you don't know which $ were introduced as separators and which were part of some simple name. (The class file stores the binary name of the class itself and its enclosing class, which allows the runtime to make this distinction.)

  • Anonymous classes and local classes have no fully qualified names but still have a binary name. The same holds for classes nested inside such classes. Every class has a binary name.

  • Running javap -v -private on a/b/C.class shows that the bytecode refers to the type of d as La/b/C$D; and that of the array ds as [La/b/C$D;. These are called descriptors, and they are specified in JVMS section 4.3.

  • The class name a/b/C$D used in both of these descriptors is what you get by replacing . by / in the binary name. The JVM spec apparently calls this the internal form of the binary name. JVMS section 4.2.1 describes it, and states that the difference from the binary name were for historical reasons.

  • The file name of a class in one of the typical filename-based class loaders is what you get if you interpret the / in the internal form of the binary name as a directory separator, and append the file name extension .class to it. It's resolved relative to the class path used by the class loader in question.

How to query a CLOB column in Oracle

To add to the answer.

declare
v_result clob;
begin
---- some operation on v_result
dbms_lob.substr( v_result, 4000 ,length(v_result) - 3999 );

end;
/

In dbms_lob.substr

first parameter is clob which you want to extract .

Second parameter is how much length of clob you want to extract.

Third parameter is from which word you want to extract .

In above example i know my clob size is more than 50000 , so i want last 4000 character .

How to change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?

Change remote git URI to [email protected] rather than https://github.com

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:<username>/<repo>.git

Example:

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:Chetabahana/my_repo_name.git

The benefit is that you may do git push automatically when you use ssh-agent :

#!/bin/bash

# Check ssh connection
ssh-add -l &>/dev/null
[[ "$?" == 2 ]] && eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add -l &>/dev/null
[[ "$?" == 1 ]] && expect $HOME/.ssh/agent

# Send git commands to push
git add . && git commit -m "your commit" && git push -u origin master

Put a script file $HOME/.ssh/agent to let it runs ssh-add using expect as below:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set HOME $env(HOME)
spawn ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
expect "Enter passphrase for $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:"
send "<my_passphrase>\n";
expect "Identity added: $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa ($HOME/.ssh/id_rsa)"
interact

How to append in a json file in Python?

You need to update the output of json.load with a_dict and then dump the result. And you cannot append to the file but you need to overwrite it.

Angular ui-grid dynamically calculate height of the grid

UPDATE:

The HTML was requested so I've pasted it below.

<div ui-grid="gridOptions" class="my-grid"></div>

ORIGINAL:

We were able to adequately solve this problem by using responsive CSS (@media) that sets the height and width based on screen real estate. Something like (and clearly you can add more based on your needs):

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
  .my-grid {
    width: 772px;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1280px) {
  .my-grid {
    width: 972px;
  }
}

@media (min-height: 768px) {
  .my-grid {
    height: 480px;
  }
}

@media (min-height: 900px) {
  .my-grid {
    height: 615px;
  }
}

The best part about this solution is that we need no resize event handling to monitor for grid size changes. It just works.

Get Absolute Position of element within the window in wpf

Hm. You have to specify window you clicked in Mouse.GetPosition(IInputElement relativeTo) Following code works well for me

protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseDown(e);
        Point p = e.GetPosition(this);
    }

I suspect that you need to refer to the window not from it own class but from other point of the application. In this case Application.Current.MainWindow will help you.

How to find whether a ResultSet is empty or not in Java?

Do this using rs.next():

while (rs.next())

If the result set is empty, the code inside the loop won't execute.

How to decorate a class?

I would second the notion that you may wish to consider a subclass instead of the approach you've outlined. However, not knowing your specific scenario, YMMV :-)

What you're thinking of is a metaclass. The __new__ function in a metaclass is passed the full proposed definition of the class, which it can then rewrite before the class is created. You can, at that time, sub out the constructor for a new one.

Example:

def substitute_init(self, id, *args, **kwargs):
    pass

class FooMeta(type):

    def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
        attrs['__init__'] = substitute_init
        return super(FooMeta, cls).__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

class Foo(object):

    __metaclass__ = FooMeta

    def __init__(self, value1):
        pass

Replacing the constructor is perhaps a bit dramatic, but the language does provide support for this kind of deep introspection and dynamic modification.

Checking if a variable is defined?

Use the defined? keyword (documentation). It will return a String with the kind of the item, or nil if it doesn’t exist.

>> a = 1
 => 1
>> defined? a
 => "local-variable"
>> defined? b
 => nil
>> defined? nil
 => "nil"
>> defined? String
 => "constant"
>> defined? 1
 => "expression"

As skalee commented: "It is worth noting that variable which is set to nil is initialized."

>> n = nil  
>> defined? n
 => "local-variable"

How to properly overload the << operator for an ostream?

To add to Mehrdad answer ,

namespace Math
{
    class Matrix
    {
       public:

       [...]


    }   
    std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& stream, const Math::Matrix& matrix);
}

In your implementation

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& stream, 
                     const Math::Matrix& matrix) {
    matrix.print(stream); //assuming you define print for matrix 
    return stream;
 }

How to wait in a batch script?

Well, does sleep even exist on your Windows XP box? According to this post: http://malektips.com/xp_dos_0002.html sleep isn't available on Windows XP, and you have to download the Windows 2003 Resource Kit in order to get it.

Chakrit's answer gives you another way to pause, too.

Try running sleep 10 from a command prompt.

Batch file to delete files older than N days

How about this modification on 7daysclean.cmd to take a leap year into account?

It can be done in less than 10 lines of coding!

set /a Leap=0
if (Month GEQ 2 and ((Years%4 EQL 0 and Years%100 NEQ 0) or Years%400 EQL 0)) set /a Leap=day
set /a Months=!_months!+Leap

Edit by Mofi:

The condition above contributed by J.R. evaluates always to false because of invalid syntax.

And Month GEQ 2 is also wrong because adding 86400 seconds for one more day must be done in a leap year only for the months March to December, but not for February.

A working code to take leap day into account - in current year only - in batch file 7daysclean.cmd posted by Jay would be:

set "LeapDaySecs=0"
if %Month% LEQ 2 goto CalcMonths
set /a "LeapRule=Years%%4"
if %LeapRule% NEQ 0 goto CalcMonths
rem The other 2 rules can be ignored up to year 2100.
set /A "LeapDaySecs=day"
:CalcMonths
set /a Months=!_months!+LeapDaySecs

req.body empty on posts

In postman, even after following the accepted answer, I was getting an empty request body. The issue turned out to be not passing a header called

MySQL - UPDATE query based on SELECT Query

I found this question in looking for my own solution to a very complex join. This is an alternative solution, to a more complex version of the problem, which I thought might be useful.

I needed to populate the product_id field in the activities table, where activities are numbered in a unit, and units are numbered in a level (identified using a string ??N), such that one can identify activities using an SKU ie L1U1A1. Those SKUs are then stored in a different table.

I identified the following to get a list of activity_id vs product_id:-

SELECT a.activity_id, w.product_id 
  FROM activities a 
  JOIN units USING(unit_id) 
  JOIN product_types USING(product_type_id) 
  JOIN web_products w 
    ON sku=CONCAT('L',SUBSTR(product_type_code,3), 'U',unit_index, 'A',activity_index)

I found that that was too complex to incorporate into a SELECT within mysql, so I created a temporary table, and joined that with the update statement:-

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE activity_product_ids AS (<the above select statement>);

UPDATE activities a
  JOIN activity_product_ids b
    ON a.activity_id=b.activity_id 
  SET a.product_id=b.product_id;

I hope someone finds this useful

How to enable TLS 1.2 support in an Android application (running on Android 4.1 JB)

As the OP said, TLS v1.1 and v1.2 protocols are supported in API level 16+, but are not enabled by default, we just need to enable it.

Example here uses HttpsUrlConnection, not HttpUrlConnection. Follow https://blog.dev-area.net/2015/08/13/android-4-1-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2/, we can create a factory

class MyFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {

    private javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory internalSSLSocketFactory;

    public MyFactory() throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {
        SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
        context.init(null, null, null);
        internalSSLSocketFactory = context.getSocketFactory();
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getDefaultCipherSuites() {
        return internalSSLSocketFactory.getDefaultCipherSuites();
    }

    @Override
    public String[] getSupportedCipherSuites() {
        return internalSSLSocketFactory.getSupportedCipherSuites();
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket());
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(s, host, port, autoClose));
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(String host, int port) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(host, port));
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(String host, int port, InetAddress localHost, int localPort) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(host, port, localHost, localPort));
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(InetAddress host, int port) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(host, port));
    }

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException {
        return enableTLSOnSocket(internalSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(address, port, localAddress, localPort));
    }

    private Socket enableTLSOnSocket(Socket socket) {
        if(socket != null && (socket instanceof SSLSocket)) {
            ((SSLSocket)socket).setEnabledProtocols(new String[] {"TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"});
        }
        return socket;
    }
}

No matter which Networking library you use, make sure ((SSLSocket)socket).setEnabledProtocols(new String[] {"TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"}); gets called so the Socket has enabled TLS protocols.

Now, you can use that in HttpsUrlConnection

class MyHttpRequestTask extends AsyncTask<String,Integer,String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        String my_url = params[0];
        try {
            URL url = new URL(my_url);
            HttpsURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            httpURLConnection.setSSLSocketFactory(new MyFactory());
            // setting the  Request Method Type
            httpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            // adding the headers for request
            httpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");


            String result = readStream(httpURLConnection.getInputStream());
            Log.e("My Networking", "We have data" + result.toString());


        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.e("My Networking", "Oh no, error occurred " + e.toString());
        }

        return null;
    }

    private static String readStream(InputStream is) throws IOException {
        final BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, Charset.forName("US-ASCII")));
        StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            total.append(line);
        }
        if (reader != null) {
            reader.close();
        }
        return total.toString();
    }
}

For example

new MyHttpRequestTask().execute(myUrl);

Seedable JavaScript random number generator

Note: This code was originally included in the question above. In the interests of keeping the question short and focused, I've moved it to this Community Wiki answer.

I found this code kicking around and it appears to work fine for getting a random number and then using the seed afterward but I'm not quite sure how the logic works (e.g. where the 2345678901, 48271 & 2147483647 numbers came from).

function nextRandomNumber(){
  var hi = this.seed / this.Q;
  var lo = this.seed % this.Q;
  var test = this.A * lo - this.R * hi;
  if(test > 0){
    this.seed = test;
  } else {
    this.seed = test + this.M;
  }
  return (this.seed * this.oneOverM);
}

function RandomNumberGenerator(){
  var d = new Date();
  this.seed = 2345678901 + (d.getSeconds() * 0xFFFFFF) + (d.getMinutes() * 0xFFFF);
  this.A = 48271;
  this.M = 2147483647;
  this.Q = this.M / this.A;
  this.R = this.M % this.A;
  this.oneOverM = 1.0 / this.M;
  this.next = nextRandomNumber;
  return this;
}

function createRandomNumber(Min, Max){
  var rand = new RandomNumberGenerator();
  return Math.round((Max-Min) * rand.next() + Min);
}

//Thus I can now do:
var letters = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'];
var numbers = ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10'];
var colors = ['red','orange','yellow','green','blue','indigo','violet'];
var first = letters[createRandomNumber(0, letters.length)];
var second = numbers[createRandomNumber(0, numbers.length)];
var third = colors[createRandomNumber(0, colors.length)];

alert("Today's show was brought to you by the letter: " + first + ", the number " + second + ", and the color " + third + "!");

/*
  If I could pass my own seed into the createRandomNumber(min, max, seed);
  function then I could reproduce a random output later if desired.
*/

Swift - how to make custom header for UITableView?

If you are willing to use custom table header as table header, try the followings....

Updated for swift 3.0

Step 1

Create UITableViewHeaderFooterView for custom header..

import UIKit

class MapTableHeaderView: UITableViewHeaderFooterView {

    @IBOutlet weak var testView: UIView!

}

Step 2

Add custom header to UITableView

    override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()

            tableView.delegate = self
            tableView.dataSource = self

            //register the header view

            let nibName = UINib(nibName: "CustomHeaderView", bundle: nil)
            self.tableView.register(nibName, forHeaderFooterViewReuseIdentifier: "CustomHeaderView")


    }

    extension BranchViewController : UITableViewDelegate{

    }

    extension BranchViewController : UITableViewDataSource{

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
            return 200
        }

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
            let headerView = self.tableView.dequeueReusableHeaderFooterView(withIdentifier: "CustomHeaderView" ) as! MapTableHeaderView

            return headerView
        }

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: 

    Int) -> Int {
            // retuen no of rows in sections
        }

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { 
            // retuen your custom cells    
        }

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

        }

        func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
            // retuen no of sections
        }

        func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
            // retuen height of row
        }


    }

How to reduce the image size without losing quality in PHP

If you are looking to reduce the size using coding itself, you can follow this code in php.

<?php 
function compress($source, $destination, $quality) {

    $info = getimagesize($source);

    if ($info['mime'] == 'image/jpeg') 
        $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($source);

    elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/gif') 
        $image = imagecreatefromgif($source);

    elseif ($info['mime'] == 'image/png') 
        $image = imagecreatefrompng($source);

    imagejpeg($image, $destination, $quality);

    return $destination;
}

$source_img = 'source.jpg';
$destination_img = 'destination .jpg';

$d = compress($source_img, $destination_img, 90);
?>

$d = compress($source_img, $destination_img, 90);

This is just a php function that passes the source image ( i.e., $source_img ), destination image ( $destination_img ) and quality for the image that will take to compress ( i.e., 90 ).

$info = getimagesize($source);

The getimagesize() function is used to find the size of any given image file and return the dimensions along with the file type.

                }
            }

        }

            var stList = ex.StackTrace.ToString().Split('\\');
            Console.WriteLine("Exception occurred at " + stList[stList.Count() - 1]);
        }
    }

Seems to work for me

Angular2 @Input to a property with get/set

Updated accepted answer to angular 7.0.1 on stackblitz here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-inputsetter?embed=1&file=src/app/app.component.ts

directives are no more in Component decorator options. So I have provided sub directive to app module.

thank you @thierry-templier!

How can I display a modal dialog in Redux that performs asynchronous actions?

In my opinion the bare minimum implementation has two requirements. A state that keeps track of whether the modal is open or not, and a portal to render the modal outside of the standard react tree.

The ModalContainer component below implements those requirements along with corresponding render functions for the modal and the trigger, which is responsible for executing the callback to open the modal.

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import Portal from 'react-portal';

class ModalContainer extends React.Component {
  state = {
    isOpen: false,
  };

  openModal = () => {
    this.setState(() => ({ isOpen: true }));
  }

  closeModal = () => {
    this.setState(() => ({ isOpen: false }));
  }

  renderModal() {
    return (
      this.props.renderModal({
        isOpen: this.state.isOpen,
        closeModal: this.closeModal,
      })
    );
  }

  renderTrigger() {
     return (
       this.props.renderTrigger({
         openModal: this.openModal
       })
     )
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <Portal>
          {this.renderModal()}
        </Portal>
        {this.renderTrigger()}
      </React.Fragment>
    );
  }
}

ModalContainer.propTypes = {
  renderModal: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  renderTrigger: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};

export default ModalContainer;

And here's a simple use case...

import React from 'react';
import Modal from 'react-modal';
import Fade from 'components/Animations/Fade';
import ModalContainer from 'components/ModalContainer';

const SimpleModal = ({ isOpen, closeModal }) => (
  <Fade visible={isOpen}> // example use case with animation components
    <Modal>
      <Button onClick={closeModal}>
        close modal
      </Button>
    </Modal>
  </Fade>
);

const SimpleModalButton = ({ openModal }) => (
  <button onClick={openModal}>
    open modal
  </button>
);

const SimpleButtonWithModal = () => (
   <ModalContainer
     renderModal={props => <SimpleModal {...props} />}
     renderTrigger={props => <SimpleModalButton {...props} />}
   />
);

export default SimpleButtonWithModal;

I use render functions, because I want to isolate state management and boilerplate logic from the implementation of the rendered modal and trigger component. This allows the rendered components to be whatever you want them to be. In your case, I suppose the modal component could be a connected component that receives a callback function that dispatches an asynchronous action.

If you need to send dynamic props to the modal component from the trigger component, which hopefully doesn't happen too often, I recommend wrapping the ModalContainer with a container component that manages the dynamic props in its own state and enhance the original render methods like so.

import React from 'react'
import partialRight from 'lodash/partialRight';
import ModalContainer from 'components/ModalContainer';

class ErrorModalContainer extends React.Component {
  state = { message: '' }

  onError = (message, callback) => {
    this.setState(
      () => ({ message }),
      () => callback && callback()
    );
  }

  renderModal = (props) => (
    this.props.renderModal({
       ...props,
       message: this.state.message,
    })
  )

  renderTrigger = (props) => (
    this.props.renderTrigger({
      openModal: partialRight(this.onError, props.openModal)
    })
  )

  render() {
    return (
      <ModalContainer
        renderModal={this.renderModal}
        renderTrigger={this.renderTrigger}
      />
    )
  }
}

ErrorModalContainer.propTypes = (
  ModalContainer.propTypes
);

export default ErrorModalContainer;

how to set default culture info for entire c# application

Not for entire application or particular class.

CurrentUICulture and CurrentCulture are settable per thread as discussed here Is there a way of setting culture for a whole application? All current threads and new threads?. You can't change InvariantCulture at all.

Sample code to change cultures for current thread:

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(theCultureString);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

For class you can set/restore culture inside critical methods, but it would be significantly safe to use appropriate overrides for most formatting related methods that take culture as one of arguments:

(3.3).ToString(new CultureInfo("fr-FR"))

Scaling horizontally ===> Thousands of minions will do the work together for you.

Scaling vertically ===> One big hulk will do all the work for you.

Can't use WAMP , port 80 is used by IIS 7.5

I don't recommend changing apaches port itself, because it will need you remember changed port. Its also headache to tell your co-developers about port change.

Go to windows features(By searching turn on or off windows features) -> Find Internet information services(IIS) and uncheck if it checked. Please make a note when you disable it FTP server/ client will not work.(incase you are using it, change httpd.conf as giovannipds 's answer) -> If still port is not free, then change skype port through skype settings.

Python Pandas - Find difference between two data frames

In addition to accepted answer, I would like to propose one more wider solution that can find a 2D set difference of two dataframes with any index/columns (they might not coincide for both datarames). Also method allows to setup tolerance for float elements for dataframe comparison (it uses np.isclose)


import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def get_dataframe_setdiff2d(df_new: pd.DataFrame, 
                            df_old: pd.DataFrame, 
                            rtol=1e-03, atol=1e-05) -> pd.DataFrame:
    """Returns set difference of two pandas DataFrames"""

    union_index = np.union1d(df_new.index, df_old.index)
    union_columns = np.union1d(df_new.columns, df_old.columns)

    new = df_new.reindex(index=union_index, columns=union_columns)
    old = df_old.reindex(index=union_index, columns=union_columns)

    mask_diff = ~np.isclose(new, old, rtol, atol)

    df_bool = pd.DataFrame(mask_diff, union_index, union_columns)

    df_diff = pd.concat([new[df_bool].stack(),
                         old[df_bool].stack()], axis=1)

    df_diff.columns = ["New", "Old"]

    return df_diff

Example:

In [1]

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A':[2,1,2],'C':[2,1,2]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1],'B':[1,1]})

print("df1:\n", df1, "\n")

print("df2:\n", df2, "\n")

diff = get_dataframe_setdiff2d(df1, df2)

print("diff:\n", diff, "\n")
Out [1]

df1:
   A  C
0  2  2
1  1  1
2  2  2 

df2:
   A  B
0  1  1
1  1  1 

diff:
     New  Old
0 A  2.0  1.0
  B  NaN  1.0
  C  2.0  NaN
1 B  NaN  1.0
  C  1.0  NaN
2 A  2.0  NaN
  C  2.0  NaN 

How do you align left / right a div without using float?

It is dirty better use the overflow: hidden; hack:

<div class="container">
  <div style="float: left;">Left Div</div>
  <div style="float: right;">Right Div</div>
</div>

.container { overflow: hidden; }

Or if you are going to do some fancy CSS3 drop-shadow stuff and you get in trouble with the above solution:

http://web.archive.org/web/20120414135722/http://fordinteractive.com/2009/12/goodbye-overflow-clearing-hack

PS

If you want to go for clean I would rather worry about that inline javascript rather than the overflow: hidden; hack :)

What are the time complexities of various data structures?

Arrays

  • Set, Check element at a particular index: O(1)
  • Searching: O(n) if array is unsorted and O(log n) if array is sorted and something like a binary search is used,
  • As pointed out by Aivean, there is no Delete operation available on Arrays. We can symbolically delete an element by setting it to some specific value, e.g. -1, 0, etc. depending on our requirements
  • Similarly, Insert for arrays is basically Set as mentioned in the beginning

ArrayList:

  • Add: Amortized O(1)
  • Remove: O(n)
  • Contains: O(n)
  • Size: O(1)

Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Doubly-Linked List:

  • Inserting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Deleting: O(1), if done at the head or tail, O(n) if anywhere else since we have to reach that position by traveseing the linkedlist linearly.
  • Searching: O(n)

Stack:

  • Push: O(1)
  • Pop: O(1)
  • Top: O(1)
  • Search (Something like lookup, as a special operation): O(n) (I guess so)

Queue/Deque/Circular Queue:

  • Insert: O(1)
  • Remove: O(1)
  • Size: O(1)

Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(n)

Red-Black Tree:

  • Insert, delete and search: Average case: O(log n), Worst Case: O(log n)

Heap/PriorityQueue (min/max):

  • Find Min/Find Max: O(1)
  • Insert: O(log n)
  • Delete Min/Delete Max: O(log n)
  • Extract Min/Extract Max: O(log n)
  • Lookup, Delete (if at all provided): O(n), we will have to scan all the elements as they are not ordered like BST

HashMap/Hashtable/HashSet:

  • Insert/Delete: O(1) amortized
  • Re-size/hash: O(n)
  • Contains: O(1)

How to split a string and assign it to variables

There's are multiple ways to split a string :

  1. If you want to make it temporary then split like this:

_

import net package

host, port, err := net.SplitHostPort("0.0.0.1:8080")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error is splitting : "+err.error());
//do you code here
}
fmt.Println(host, port)
  1. Split based on struct :

    • Create a struct and split like this

_

type ServerDetail struct {
    Host       string
    Port       string
    err        error
}

ServerDetail = net.SplitHostPort("0.0.0.1:8080") //Specific for Host and Port

Now use in you code like ServerDetail.Host and ServerDetail.Port

If you don't want to split specific string do it like this:

type ServerDetail struct {
    Host       string
    Port       string
}

ServerDetail = strings.Split([Your_String], ":") // Common split method

and use like ServerDetail.Host and ServerDetail.Port.

That's All.

How to compare two colors for similarity/difference

I've tried various methods like LAB color space, HSV comparisons and I've found that luminosity works pretty well for this purpose.

Here is Python version

def lum(c):
    def factor(component):
        component = component / 255;
        if (component <= 0.03928):
            component = component / 12.92;
        else:
            component = math.pow(((component + 0.055) / 1.055), 2.4);

        return component
    components = [factor(ci) for ci in c]

    return (components[0] * 0.2126 + components[1] * 0.7152 + components[2] * 0.0722) + 0.05;

def color_distance(c1, c2):

    l1 = lum(c1)
    l2 = lum(c2)
    higher = max(l1, l2)
    lower = min(l1, l2)

    return (higher - lower) / higher


c1 = ImageColor.getrgb('white')
c2 = ImageColor.getrgb('yellow')
print(color_distance(c1, c2))

Will give you

0.0687619047619048

How to change DataTable columns order

Try to use the DataColumn.SetOrdinal method. For example:

dataTable.Columns["Qty"].SetOrdinal(0);
dataTable.Columns["Unit"].SetOrdinal(1); 

UPDATE: This answer received much more attention than I expected. To avoid confusion and make it easier to use I decided to create an extension method for column ordering in DataTable:

Extension method:

public static class DataTableExtensions
{
    public static void SetColumnsOrder(this DataTable table, params String[] columnNames)
    {
        int columnIndex = 0;
        foreach(var columnName in columnNames)
        {
            table.Columns[columnName].SetOrdinal(columnIndex);
            columnIndex++;
        }
    }
}

Usage:

table.SetColumnsOrder("Qty", "Unit", "Id");

or

table.SetColumnsOrder(new string[]{"Qty", "Unit", "Id"});

You can't specify target table for update in FROM clause

MySQL doesn't allow selecting from a table and update in the same table at the same time. But there is always a workaround :)

This doesn't work >>>>

UPDATE table1 SET col1 = (SELECT MAX(col1) from table1) WHERE col1 IS NULL;

But this works >>>>

UPDATE table1 SET col1 = (SELECT MAX(col1) FROM (SELECT * FROM table1) AS table1_new) WHERE col1 IS NULL;

onNewIntent() lifecycle and registered listeners

onNewIntent() is meant as entry point for singleTop activities which already run somewhere else in the stack and therefore can't call onCreate(). From activities lifecycle point of view it's therefore needed to call onPause() before onNewIntent(). I suggest you to rewrite your activity to not use these listeners inside of onNewIntent(). For example most of the time my onNewIntent() methods simply looks like this:

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    // getIntent() should always return the most recent
    setIntent(intent);
}

With all setup logic happening in onResume() by utilizing getIntent().

Waiting until the task finishes

Swift 5 version of the solution

    group.enter()
    //async operation 1
    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .default).async { 
        // Network calls or some other async task
        value1 = //out of async task
        group.leave()
    }


    group.enter()
    //async operation 2
    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .default).async {
        // Network calls or some other async task
        value2 = //out of async task
        group.leave()
    }

    
    group.wait()

    print("Value1 \(value1) , Value2 \(value2)") 
}

how to call service method from ng-change of select in angularjs?

You have at least two issues in your code:

  • ng-change="getScoreData(Score)

    Angular doesn't see getScoreData method that refers to defined service

  • getScoreData: function (Score, callback)

    We don't need to use callback since GET returns promise. Use then instead.

Here is a working example (I used random address only for simulation):

HTML

<select ng-model="score"
        ng-change="getScoreData(score)" 
        ng-options="score as score.name for score in  scores"></select>
    <pre>{{ScoreData|json}}</pre> 

JS

var fessmodule = angular.module('myModule', ['ngResource']);

fessmodule.controller('fessCntrl', function($scope, ScoreDataService) {

    $scope.scores = [{
        name: 'Bukit Batok Street 1',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, 153 Bukit Batok Street 1&sensor=true'
    }, {
        name: 'London 8',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, London 8&sensor=true'
    }];

    $scope.getScoreData = function(score) {
        ScoreDataService.getScoreData(score).then(function(result) {
            $scope.ScoreData = result;
        }, function(result) {
            alert("Error: No data returned");
        });
    };

});

fessmodule.$inject = ['$scope', 'ScoreDataService'];

fessmodule.factory('ScoreDataService', ['$http', '$q', function($http) {

    var factory = {
        getScoreData: function(score) {
            console.log(score);
            var data = $http({
                method: 'GET',
                url: score.URL
            });


            return data;
        }
    }
    return factory;
}]);

Split function in oracle to comma separated values with automatic sequence

If you need a function try this.
First we'll create a type:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE T_TABLE IS OBJECT
(
    Field1 int
    , Field2 VARCHAR(25)
);
CREATE TYPE T_TABLE_COLL IS TABLE OF T_TABLE;
/

Then we'll create the function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST_RETURN_TABLE
RETURN T_TABLE_COLL
    IS
      l_res_coll T_TABLE_COLL;
      l_index number;
    BEGIN
      l_res_coll := T_TABLE_COLL();
      FOR i IN (
        WITH TAB AS
          (SELECT '1001' ID, 'A,B,C,D,E,F' STR FROM DUAL
          UNION
          SELECT '1002' ID, 'D,E,F' STR FROM DUAL
          UNION
          SELECT '1003' ID, 'C,E,G' STR FROM DUAL
          )
        SELECT id,
          SUBSTR(STR, instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl) + 1, instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl + 1) - instr(STR, ',', 1, lvl) - 1) name
        FROM
          ( SELECT ',' || STR || ',' AS STR, id FROM TAB
          ),
          ( SELECT level AS lvl FROM dual CONNECT BY level <= 100
          )
        WHERE lvl <= LENGTH(STR) - LENGTH(REPLACE(STR, ',')) - 1
        ORDER BY ID, NAME)
      LOOP
        IF i.ID = 1001 THEN
          l_res_coll.extend;
          l_index := l_res_coll.count;
          l_res_coll(l_index):= T_TABLE(i.ID, i.name);
        END IF;
      END LOOP;
      RETURN l_res_coll;
    END;
    /

Now we can select from it:

select * from table(TEST_RETURN_TABLE()); 

Output:

SQL> select * from table(TEST_RETURN_TABLE());

    FIELD1 FIELD2
---------- -------------------------
      1001 A
      1001 B
      1001 C
      1001 D
      1001 E
      1001 F

6 rows selected.

Obviously you'd need to replace the WITH TAB AS... bit with where you would be getting your actual data from. Credit Credit

Update R using RStudio

Don't use Rstudio to update R. Rstudio IS NOT R, Rstudio is just an IDE. This answer is a summary of previous answers for different OS. For all OS it is convenient to have a look in advance what will happen with the packages you have already installed here.

WINDOWS ->> Open CMD/Powershell as an administrator and type "R" to go into interactive mode. If this does not work, search and run RGui.exe instead of writing R in the console ...and then:

lib_path <- gsub( "/", "\\\\" , Sys.getenv("R_LIBS_USER"))
install.packages("installr", lib = lib_path)
install.packages("stringr", lib_path)
library(stringr, lib.loc = lib_path)
library(installr, lib.loc = lib_path)
installr::updateR()

MacOS ->> You can use updateR package. The package is not on CRAN, so you’ll need to run the following code in Rgui:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("AndreaCirilloAC/updateR")
updateR(admin_password = "PASSWORD") # Where "PASSWORD" stands for your system password

Note that it is planned to merge updateR and installR in the near future to work for both Mac and Windows.

Linux ->> For the moment installr is NOT available for Linux/MacOS (see documentation for current version 0.20). As R is installed, you can follow these instructions (in Ubuntu, although the idea is the same in other distros: add the source, update and upgrade and install.)

Difference between map, applymap and apply methods in Pandas

Adding to the other answers, in a Series there are also map and apply.

Apply can make a DataFrame out of a series; however, map will just put a series in every cell of another series, which is probably not what you want.

In [40]: p=pd.Series([1,2,3])
In [41]: p
Out[31]:
0    1
1    2
2    3
dtype: int64

In [42]: p.apply(lambda x: pd.Series([x, x]))
Out[42]: 
   0  1
0  1  1
1  2  2
2  3  3

In [43]: p.map(lambda x: pd.Series([x, x]))
Out[43]: 
0    0    1
1    1
dtype: int64
1    0    2
1    2
dtype: int64
2    0    3
1    3
dtype: int64
dtype: object

Also if I had a function with side effects, such as "connect to a web server", I'd probably use apply just for the sake of clarity.

series.apply(download_file_for_every_element) 

Map can use not only a function, but also a dictionary or another series. Let's say you want to manipulate permutations.

Take

1 2 3 4 5
2 1 4 5 3

The square of this permutation is

1 2 3 4 5
1 2 5 3 4

You can compute it using map. Not sure if self-application is documented, but it works in 0.15.1.

In [39]: p=pd.Series([1,0,3,4,2])

In [40]: p.map(p)
Out[40]: 
0    0
1    1
2    4
3    2
4    3
dtype: int64

Get installed applications in a system

I used Nicks approach - I needed to check whether the Remote Tools for Visual Studio are installed or not, it seems a bit slow, but in a seperate thread this is fine for me. - here my extended code:

    private bool isRdInstalled() {

Which method performs better: .Any() vs .Count() > 0?

If you are starting with something that has a .Length or .Count (such as ICollection<T>, IList<T>, List<T>, etc) - then this will be the fastest option, since it doesn't need to go through the GetEnumerator()/MoveNext()/Dispose() sequence required by Any() to check for a non-empty IEnumerable<T> sequence.

For just IEnumerable<T>, then Any() will generally be quicker, as it only has to look at one iteration. However, note that the LINQ-to-Objects implementation of Count() does check for ICollection<T> (using .Count as an optimisation) - so if your underlying data-source is directly a list/collection, there won't be a huge difference. Don't ask me why it doesn't use the non-generic ICollection...

Of course, if you have used LINQ to filter it etc (Where etc), you will have an iterator-block based sequence, and so this ICollection<T> optimisation is useless.

In general with IEnumerable<T> : stick with Any() ;-p

How to do what head, tail, more, less, sed do in Powershell?

Here are the built-in ways to do head and tail. Don't use pipes because if you have a large file, it will be extremely slow. Using these built-in options will be extremely fast even for huge files.

gc log.txt -head 10 
gc log.txt -tail 10
gc log.txt -tail 10 -wait # equivalent to tail -f

How do I get list of methods in a Python class?

methods = [(func, getattr(o, func)) for func in dir(o) if callable(getattr(o, func))]

gives an identical list as

methods = inspect.getmembers(o, predicate=inspect.ismethod)

does.

Best way to incorporate Volley (or other library) into Android Studio project

UPDATE:

compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'

OLD ANSWER: You need the next in your build.gradle of your app module:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'
        (Rest of your dependencies)

    }

This is not the official repo but is a highly trusted one.

Android: remove notification from notification bar

NotificationManager.cancel(id) is the correct answer. Yet you can remove in Android Oreo and later notifications by deleting the whole notification channel. This should delete all messages in the deleted channel.

Here is the example from the Android documentation:

NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
        (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// The id of the channel.
String id = "my_channel_01";
mNotificationManager.deleteNotificationChannel(id);

Javadoc link to method in other class

Aside from @see, a more general way of refering to another class and possibly method of that class is {@link somepackage.SomeClass#someMethod(paramTypes)}. This has the benefit of being usable in the middle of a javadoc description.

From the javadoc documentation (description of the @link tag):

This tag is very simliar to @see – both require the same references and accept exactly the same syntax for package.class#member and label. The main difference is that {@link} generates an in-line link rather than placing the link in the "See Also" section. Also, the {@link} tag begins and ends with curly braces to separate it from the rest of the in-line text.

'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' issue when API call made from React (Isomorphic app)

I don't know if this will help but I was getting the same error when remote debugging a react-native application. I was running the debugger on 192.168.x.x:8081. I read a little bit on this Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) to educate myself on what CORS is. (I'm a beginner) and changed my URL from IP:8081 to localhost:8081 and my issue was resolved.

What does %5B and %5D in POST requests stand for?

Well it's the usual url encoding

So they stand for [, respectively ]

Change the encoding of a file in Visual Studio Code

Apart from the settings explained in the answer by @DarkNeuron:

"files.encoding": "any encoding"

you can also specify settings for a specific language like so:

"[language id]": {
  "files.encoding": "any encoding"
}

For example, I use this when I need to edit PowerShell files previously created with ISE (which are created in ANSI format):

"[powershell]": {
    "files.encoding": "windows1252"
}

You can get a list of identifiers of well-known languages here.

Hibernate Criteria Join with 3 Tables

The fetch mode only says that the association must be fetched. If you want to add restrictions on an associated entity, you must create an alias, or a subcriteria. I generally prefer using aliases, but YMMV:

Criteria c = session.createCriteria(Dokument.class, "dokument");
c.createAlias("dokument.role", "role"); // inner join by default
c.createAlias("role.contact", "contact");
c.add(Restrictions.eq("contact.lastName", "Test"));
return c.list();

This is of course well explained in the Hibernate reference manual, and the javadoc for Criteria even has examples. Read the documentation: it has plenty of useful information.

Python Script execute commands in Terminal

I prefer usage of subprocess module:

from subprocess import call
call(["ls", "-l"])

Reason is that if you want to pass some variable in the script this gives very easy way for example take the following part of the code

abc = a.c
call(["vim", abc])

How can I mimic the bottom sheet from the Maps app?

I don't know how exactly the bottom sheet of the new Maps app, responds to user interactions. But you can create a custom view that looks like the one in the screenshots and add it to the main view.

I assume you know how to:

1- create view controllers either by storyboards or using xib files.

2- use googleMaps or Apple's MapKit.

Example

1- Create 2 view controllers e.g, MapViewController and BottomSheetViewController. The first controller will host the map and the second is the bottom sheet itself.

Configure MapViewController

Create a method to add the bottom sheet view.

func addBottomSheetView() {
    // 1- Init bottomSheetVC
    let bottomSheetVC = BottomSheetViewController()

    // 2- Add bottomSheetVC as a child view 
    self.addChildViewController(bottomSheetVC)
    self.view.addSubview(bottomSheetVC.view)
    bottomSheetVC.didMoveToParentViewController(self)

    // 3- Adjust bottomSheet frame and initial position.
    let height = view.frame.height
    let width  = view.frame.width
    bottomSheetVC.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.maxY, width, height)
}

And call it in viewDidAppear method:

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    addBottomSheetView()
}

Configure BottomSheetViewController

1) Prepare background

Create a method to add blur and vibrancy effects

func prepareBackgroundView(){
    let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect.init(style: .Dark)
    let visualEffect = UIVisualEffectView.init(effect: blurEffect)
    let bluredView = UIVisualEffectView.init(effect: blurEffect)
    bluredView.contentView.addSubview(visualEffect)

    visualEffect.frame = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds
    bluredView.frame = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds

    view.insertSubview(bluredView, atIndex: 0)
}

call this method in your viewWillAppear

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
   super.viewWillAppear(animated)
   prepareBackgroundView()
}

Make sure that your controller's view background color is clearColor.

2) Animate bottomSheet appearance

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    UIView.animateWithDuration(0.3) { [weak self] in
        let frame = self?.view.frame
        let yComponent = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height - 200
        self?.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, yComponent, frame!.width, frame!.height)
    }
}

3) Modify your xib as you want.

4) Add Pan Gesture Recognizer to your view.

In your viewDidLoad method add UIPanGestureRecognizer.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let gesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer.init(target: self, action: #selector(BottomSheetViewController.panGesture))
    view.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)

}

And implement your gesture behaviour:

func panGesture(recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
    let translation = recognizer.translationInView(self.view)
    let y = self.view.frame.minY
    self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, y + translation.y, view.frame.width, view.frame.height)
     recognizer.setTranslation(CGPointZero, inView: self.view)
}

Scrollable Bottom Sheet:

If your custom view is a scroll view or any other view that inherits from, so you have two options:

First:

Design the view with a header view and add the panGesture to the header. (bad user experience).

Second:

1 - Add the panGesture to the bottom sheet view.

2 - Implement the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate and set the panGesture delegate to the controller.

3- Implement shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith delegate function and disable the scrollView isScrollEnabled property in two case:

  • The view is partially visible.
  • The view is totally visible, the scrollView contentOffset property is 0 and the user is dragging the view downwards.

Otherwise enable scrolling.

  func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
      let gesture = (gestureRecognizer as! UIPanGestureRecognizer)
      let direction = gesture.velocity(in: view).y

      let y = view.frame.minY
      if (y == fullView && tableView.contentOffset.y == 0 && direction > 0) || (y == partialView) {
          tableView.isScrollEnabled = false
      } else {
        tableView.isScrollEnabled = true
      }

      return false
  }

NOTE

In case you set .allowUserInteraction as an animation option, like in the sample project, so you need to enable scrolling on the animation completion closure if the user is scrolling up.

Sample Project

I created a sample project with more options on this repo which may give you better insights about how to customise the flow.

In the demo, addBottomSheetView() function controls which view should be used as a bottom sheet.

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'user'

You can't do

LivingRoom.objects.create(user=instance)

because you have an __init__ method that does NOT take user as argument.

You need something like

#signal function: if a user is created, add control livingroom to the user    
def create_control_livingroom(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        my_room = LivingRoom()
        my_room.user = instance

Update

But, as bruno has already said it, Django's models.Model subclass's initializer is best left alone, or should accept *args and **kwargs matching the model's meta fields.

So, following better principles, you should probably have something like

class LivingRoom(models.Model):
    '''Living Room object'''
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

    def __init__(self, *args, temp=65, **kwargs):
        self.temp = temp
        return super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Note - If you weren't using temp as a keyword argument, e.g. LivingRoom(65), then you'll have to start doing that. LivingRoom(user=instance, temp=66) or if you want the default (65), simply LivingRoom(user=instance) would do.

Extend contigency table with proportions (percentages)

I made this for when doing aggregate functions and similar

per.fun <- function(x) {
    if(length(x)>1){
        denom <- length(x);
        num <- sum(x);
        percentage <- num/denom;
        percentage*100
        }
        else NA
    }

Loop in react-native

 render() {
    var myloop = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      myloop.push(
        <View key={i}>
        <Text style={{ textAlign: 'center', marginTop: 5 }} >{i}</Text>
        </View>
      );
    }

     return (

            <View >
              <Text >Welcome to React Native!</Text>
               {myloop}
            </View>


        );
      }

Output 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Boolean operators && and ||

&& and || are what is called "short circuiting". That means that they will not evaluate the second operand if the first operand is enough to determine the value of the expression.

For example if the first operand to && is false then there is no point in evaluating the second operand, since it can't change the value of the expression (false && true and false && false are both false). The same goes for || when the first operand is true.

You can read more about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation From the table on that page you can see that && is equivalent to AndAlso in VB.NET, which I assume you are referring to.

Drop-down menu that opens up/upward with pure css

Add bottom:100% to your #menu:hover ul li:hover ul rule

Demo 1

#menu:hover ul li:hover ul {
    position: absolute;
    margin-top: 1px;
    font: 10px;
    bottom: 100%; /* added this attribute */
}

Or better yet to prevent the submenus from having the same effect, just add this rule

Demo 2

#menu>ul>li:hover>ul { 
    bottom:100%;
}

Demo 3

source: http://jsfiddle.net/W5FWW/4/

And to get back the border you can add the following attribute

#menu>ul>li:hover>ul { 
    bottom:100%;
    border-bottom: 1px solid transparent
}

Open URL in new window with JavaScript

Use window.open():

<a onclick="window.open(document.URL, '_blank', 'location=yes,height=570,width=520,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');">

This will create a link titled Share Page which opens the current url in a new window with a height of 570 and width of 520.

SimpleDateFormat parsing date with 'Z' literal

Java doesn't parse ISO dates correctly.

Similar to McKenzie's answer.

Just fix the Z before parsing.

Code

String string = "2013-03-05T18:05:05.000Z";
String defaultTimezone = TimeZone.getDefault().getID();
Date date = (new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ")).parse(string.replaceAll("Z$", "+0000"));

System.out.println("string: " + string);
System.out.println("defaultTimezone: " + defaultTimezone);
System.out.println("date: " + (new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ")).format(date));

Result

string: 2013-03-05T18:05:05.000Z
defaultTimezone: America/New_York
date: 2013-03-05T13:05:05.000-0500

How to parse a month name (string) to an integer for comparison in C#?

One simply solution would be create a Dictionary with names and values. Then using Contains() you can find the right value.

Dictionary<string, string> months = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
                { "january", "01"},
                { "february", "02"},
                { "march", "03"},
                { "april", "04"},
                { "may", "05"},
                { "june", "06"},
                { "july", "07"},
                { "august", "08"},
                { "september", "09"},
                { "october", "10"},
                { "november", "11"},
                { "december", "12"},
};

SQL INSERT INTO from multiple tables

If I'm understanding you correctly, you should be able to do this in one query, joining table1 and table2 together:

INSERT INTO table3 { name, age, sex, city, id, number}

FROM table1 p
INNER JOIN table2 c ON c.Id = p.Id

Adding default parameter value with type hint in Python

Finding moving average from data points in Python

There is a problem with the accepted answer. I think we need to use "valid" instead of "same" here - return numpy.convolve(interval, window, 'same') .

As an Example try out the MA of this data-set = [1,5,7,2,6,7,8,2,2,7,8,3,7,3,7,3,15,6] - the result should be [4.2,5.4,6.0,5.0,5.0,5.2,5.4,4.4,5.4,5.6,5.6,4.6,7.0,6.8], but having "same" gives us an incorrect output of [2.6,3.0,4.2,5.4,6.0,5.0,5.0,5.2,5.4,4.4,5.4,5.6,5.6, 4.6,7.0,6.8,6.2,4.8]

Rusty code to try this out -:

result=[]
dataset=[1,5,7,2,6,7,8,2,2,7,8,3,7,3,7,3,15,6]
window_size=5
for index in xrange(len(dataset)):
    if index <=len(dataset)-window_size :
        tmp=(dataset[index]+ dataset[index+1]+ dataset[index+2]+ dataset[index+3]+ dataset[index+4])/5.0
        result.append(tmp)
    else:
      pass

result==movingaverage(y, window_size) 

Try this with valid & same and see whether the math makes sense.

"Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt." when running "grunt" command

I had the same issue today on windows 32 bit,with node 0.10.25, and grunt 0.4.5.

I followed dongho's answer, with just few extra steps. here are the steps I used to solve the error:

1) create your package.json

$ npm init

2) install grunt for this project, this will be installed under node_modules/. --save-dev will add this module to devDependency in your package.json

$ npm install grunt --save-dev

3) then create gruntfile.js , with a sample code like this:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.initConfig({
    jshint: {
      files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/**/*.js'],
      options: {
        globals: {
          jQuery: true
        }
      }
    },
    watch: {
      files: ['<%= jshint.files %>'],
      tasks: ['jshint']
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');

  grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);

};

here, src/**/*.js and test/**/*.js should be the paths to actual JS files you are using in your project

4) run npm install grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev

5) run npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev

6) run $ grunt

Note: when you require common package like concat, uglify etc, you need to add those modules via npm install, just the way we installed jshint and watch in step 4 & 5

If you use IntelliJ IDEA, try the following:

  1. From 'File', select "Invalidate Caches/ Restart" option.
  2. Confirm this action by clicking the "Invalidate and Restart" button.
  3. Then the IDEA will be restarted.
  4. You will then find a fresh copy of your project.
  5. You then need to import/ change project format to the Maven project. IDEA will show you options at the bottom right corner.
  6. After this, you should be able to run your project.

Check image width and height before upload with Javascript

I agree. Once it is uploaded to somewhere the user's browser can access then it is pretty easy to get the size. As you need to wait for the image to load you'll want to hook into the onload event for img.

var width, height;

var img = document.createElement("img");
img.onload = function() {
    // `naturalWidth`/`naturalHeight` aren't supported on <IE9. Fallback to normal width/height
    // The natural size is the actual image size regardless of rendering.
    // The 'normal' width/height are for the **rendered** size.

    width  = img.naturalWidth  || img.width;
    height = img.naturalHeight || img.height; 

    // Do something with the width and height
}

// Setting the source makes it start downloading and eventually call `onload`
img.src = "http://your.website.com/userUploadedImage.jpg";

Disabling SSL Certificate Validation in Spring RestTemplate

Essentially two things you need to do are use a custom TrustStrategy that trusts all certs, and also use NoopHostnameVerifier() to disable hostname verification. Here is the code, with all the relevant imports:

import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.security.cert.CertificateException;
import java.security.cert.X509Certificate;

  1. Some lists of useful resources (see sidebar bottom right) on
    • ical Spec RFC 5545
    • ical Testing Resources
  2. Some notes recorded on my journey working with .ics over the last few years. In particular, you may find this repeating events 'cheatsheet' to be useful.

.ics areas that need careful handling:

  • 'all day' events
  • types of dates (timezone, UTC, or local 'floating') - nb to understand distinction
  • interoperability of recurrence rules

A JOIN With Additional Conditions Using Query Builder or Eloquent

$results = DB::table('rooms')
                     ->distinct()
                     ->leftJoin('bookings', function($join)
                         {
                             $join->on('rooms.id', '=', 'bookings.room_type_id');
                             $join->on('arrival','>=',DB::raw("'2012-05-01'"));
                             $join->on('arrival','<=',DB::raw("'2012-05-10'"));
                             $join->on('departure','>=',DB::raw("'2012-05-01'"));
                             $join->on('departure','<=',DB::raw("'2012-05-10'"));
                         })
                     ->where('bookings.room_type_id', '=', NULL)
                     ->get();

Not quite sure if the between clause can be added to the join in laravel.

Notes:

  • DB::raw() instructs Laravel not to put back quotes.
  • By passing a closure to join methods you can add more join conditions to it, on() will add AND condition and orOn() will add OR condition.

extract column value based on another column pandas dataframe

You could use loc to get series which satisfying your condition and then iloc to get first element:

In [2]: df
Out[2]:
    A  B
0  p1  1
1  p1  2
2  p3  3
3  p2  4

In [3]: df.loc[df['B'] == 3, 'A']
Out[3]:
2    p3
Name: A, dtype: object

In [4]: df.loc[df['B'] == 3, 'A'].iloc[0]
Out[4]: 'p3'

How to NodeJS require inside TypeScript file?

Typescript will always complain when it is unable to find a symbol. The compiler comes together with a set of default definitions for window, document and such specified in a file called lib.d.ts. If I do a grep for require in this file I can find no definition of a function require. Hence, we have to tell the compiler ourselves that this function will exist at runtime using the declare syntax:

declare function require(name:string);
var sampleModule = require('modulename');

On my system, this compiles just fine.

List all indexes on ElasticSearch server?

Accessing the Secured Elastic Search though Curl (Update 2020)

If the Elastic Search is secured, You can use this command to list indices

curl http://username:password@localhost:9200/_aliases?pretty=true

Structure padding and packing

Padding and packing are just two aspects of the same thing:

  • packing or alignment is the size to which each member is rounded off
  • padding is the extra space added to match the alignment

In mystruct_A, assuming a default alignment of 4, each member is aligned on a multiple of 4 bytes. Since the size of char is 1, the padding for a and c is 4 - 1 = 3 bytes while no padding is required for int b which is already 4 bytes. It works the same way for mystruct_B.

pod has unbound PersistentVolumeClaims

You have to define a PersistentVolume providing disc space to be consumed by the PersistentVolumeClaim.

When using storageClass Kubernetes is going to enable "Dynamic Volume Provisioning" which is not working with the local file system.


To solve your issue:

  • Provide a PersistentVolume fulfilling the constraints of the claim (a size >= 100Mi)
  • Remove the storageClass-line from the PersistentVolumeClaim
  • Remove the StorageClass from your cluster

How do these pieces play together?

At creation of the deployment state-description it is usually known which kind (amount, speed, ...) of storage that application will need.
To make a deployment versatile you'd like to avoid a hard dependency on storage. Kubernetes' volume-abstraction allows you to provide and consume storage in a standardized way.

The PersistentVolumeClaim is used to provide a storage-constraint alongside the deployment of an application.

The PersistentVolume offers cluster-wide volume-instances ready to be consumed ("bound"). One PersistentVolume will be bound to one claim. But since multiple instances of that claim may be run on multiple nodes, that volume may be accessed by multiple nodes.

A PersistentVolume without StorageClass is considered to be static.

"Dynamic Volume Provisioning" alongside with a StorageClass allows the cluster to provision PersistentVolumes on demand. In order to make that work, the given storage provider must support provisioning - this allows the cluster to request the provisioning of a "new" PersistentVolume when an unsatisfied PersistentVolumeClaim pops up.


Example PersistentVolume

In order to find how to specify things you're best advised to take a look at the API for your Kubernetes version, so the following example is build from the API-Reference of K8S 1.17:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: ckan-pv-home
  labels:
    type: local
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 100Mi
  hostPath:
    path: "/mnt/data/ckan"

The PersistentVolumeSpec allows us to define multiple attributes. I chose a hostPath volume which maps a local directory as content for the volume. The capacity allows the resource scheduler to recognize this volume as applicable in terms of resource needs.

Pass element ID to Javascript function

Check this: http://jsfiddle.net/h7kRt/1/,

you should change in jsfiddle on top-left to No-wrap in <head>

Your code looks good and it will work inside a normal page. In jsfiddle your function was being defined inside a load handler and thus is in a different scope. By changing to No-wrap you have it in the global scope and can use it as you wanted.

Stylesheet not loaded because of MIME-type

I had this error, in Angular. The way I solved it was to put an ngIf on my link element so it didn't appear in the DOM until my dynamic URL was populated.

It may be unrelated to the OP a little bit, but I ended up here looking for an answer.

<link *ngIf="cssUrl" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" [href]="sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(cssUrl)">

CodeIgniter: "Unable to load the requested class"

I had a similar issue when deploying from OSx on my local to my Linux live site.

It ran fine on OSx, but on Linux I was getting:

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to load the requested class: Ckeditor

The problem was that Linux paths are apparently case-sensitive so I had to rename my library files from "ckeditor.php" to "CKEditor.php".

I also changed my load call to match the capitalization:

$this->load->library('CKEditor');

Can I do Android Programming in C++, C?

Yes, you can program Android apps in C++ (for the most part), using the Native Development Kit (NDK), although Java is the primary/preferred language for programming Android, and your C++ code will likely have to interface with Java components, and you'll likely need to read and understand the documentation for Java components, as well. Therefore, I'd advise you to use Java unless you have some existing C++ code base that you need to port and that isn't practical to rewrite in Java.

Java is very similar to C++, I don't think you will have any problems picking it up... going from C++ to Java is incredibly easy; going from Java to C++ is a little more difficult, though not terrible. Java for C++ Programmers does a pretty good job at explaining the differences. Writing your Android code in Java will be more idiomatic and will also make the development process easier for you (as the tooling for the Java Android SDK is significantly better than the corresponding NDK tooling)

In terms of setup, Google provides the Android Studio IDE for both Java and C++ Android development (with Gradle as the build system), but you are free to use whatever IDE or build system you want so long as, under the hood, you are using the Android SDK / NDK to produce the final outputs.

How to detect a mobile device with JavaScript?

implements Closeable or implements AutoCloseable

Here is the small example

public class TryWithResource {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (TestMe r = new TestMe()) {
            r.generalTest();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println("From Exception Block");
        } finally {
            System.out.println("From Final Block");
        }
    }
}



public class TestMe implements AutoCloseable {

    @Override
    public void close() throws Exception {
        System.out.println(" From Close -  AutoCloseable  ");
    }

    public void generalTest() {
        System.out.println(" GeneralTest ");
    }
}

Here is the output:

GeneralTest 
From Close -  AutoCloseable  
From Final Block

How to add a jar in External Libraries in android studio

  3. Add implementation files('libs/<name>.jar') into build.gradle. It is the same as UI Add as library do

Scrolling a div with jQuery

Relatively-position your content div within a parent div having overflow:hidden. Make your up/down arrows move the top value of the content div. The following jQuery is untested. Let me know if you require any further assistance with it as a concept.

div.container {
  overflow:hidden;
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
}
div.content {
  position:relative;
  top:0;
}

<div class="container">
  <p>
    <a href="enablejs.html" class="up">Up</a> / 
    <a href="enablejs.html" class="dn">Down</a>
  </p>
  <div class="content">
    <p>Hello World</p>
  </div>
</div>

$(function(){
  $(".container a.up").bind("click", function(){
    var topVal = $(this).parents(".container").find(".content").css("top");
    $(this).parents(".container").find(".content").css("top", topVal-10);
  });

  $(".container a.dn").bind("click", function(){
    var topVal = $(this).parents(".container").find(".content").css("top");
    $(this).parents(".container").find(".content").css("top", topVal+10);
  });
});

Scroll to element on click in Angular 4

Another way to do it in Angular:

Markup:

<textarea #inputMessage></textarea>

Add ViewChild() property:

@ViewChild('inputMessage')
inputMessageRef: ElementRef;

Scroll anywhere you want inside of the component using scrollIntoView() function:

this.inputMessageRef.nativeElement.scrollIntoView();

How to import local packages without gopath

ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN failed because one or more objects access this column

You need to do a few things:

  1. You first need to check if the constrain exits in the information schema
  2. then you need to query by joining the sys.default_constraints and sys.columns if the columns and default_constraints have the same object ids
  3. When you join in step 2, you would get the constraint name from default_constraints. You drop that constraint. Here is an example of one such drops I did.
-- 1. Remove constraint and drop column
IF EXISTS(SELECT *
          FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
          WHERE TABLE_NAME = N'TABLE_NAME'
            AND COLUMN_NAME = N'LOWER_LIMIT')
   BEGIN
    DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
    WHILE 1=1
        BEGIN
            SELECT TOP 1 @sql = N'alter table [TABLE_NAME] drop constraint ['+dc.name+N']'
            FROM sys.default_constraints dc
            JOIN sys.columns c
            ON c.default_object_id = dc.object_id
            WHERE dc.parent_object_id = OBJECT_ID('[TABLE_NAME]') AND c.name = N'LOWER_LIMIT'
            IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
                BEGIN
                    PRINT 'DELETED Constraint on column LOWER_LIMIT'
                    BREAK
                END
        EXEC (@sql)
    END;
    ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME DROP COLUMN LOWER_LIMIT;
    PRINT 'DELETED column LOWER_LIMIT'
   END
ELSE
   PRINT 'Column LOWER_LIMIT does not exist'
GO

Java TreeMap Comparator

You can not sort TreeMap on values.

A Red-Black tree based NavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys, or by a Comparator provided at map creation time, depending on which constructor is used You will need to provide comparator for Comparator<? super K> so your comparator should compare on keys.

To provide sort on values you will need SortedSet. Use

SortedSet<Map.Entry<String, Double>> sortedset = new TreeSet<Map.Entry<String, Double>>(
            new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Double>>() {
                @Override
                public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Double> e1,
                        Map.Entry<String, Double> e2) {
                    return e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue());
                }
            });

  sortedset.addAll(myMap.entrySet());

To give you an example

    SortedMap<String, Double> myMap = new TreeMap<String, Double>();
    myMap.put("a", 10.0);
    myMap.put("b", 9.0);
    myMap.put("c", 11.0);
    myMap.put("d", 2.0);
    sortedset.addAll(myMap.entrySet());
    System.out.println(sortedset);

Output:

  [d=2.0, b=9.0, a=10.0, c=11.0]

Java difference between FileWriter and BufferedWriter

You are right. Here is how write() method of BufferedWriter looks:

public void write(int c) throws IOException {
    synchronized (lock) {
        ensureOpen();
        if (nextChar >= nChars)
            flushBuffer();
        cb[nextChar++] = (char) c;
    }
}

As you can see it indeed checks whether the buffer is full (if (nextChar >= nChars)) and flushes the buffer. Then it adds new character to buffer (cb[nextChar++] = (char) c;).

CSS text-overflow in a table cell?

It seems that if you specify table-layout: fixed; on the table element, then your styles for td should take effect. This will also affect how the cells are sized, though.

Sitepoint discusses the table-layout methods a little here: http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/tableformatting

Javascript: how to validate dates in format MM-DD-YYYY?

Please find in the below code which enables to perform the date validation for any of the supplied format or based on user locale to validate start/from and end/to dates. There could be some better approaches but have come up with this. Have tested it for the formats like: MM/dd/yyyy, dd/MM/yyyy, yyyy-MM-dd, yyyy.MM.dd, yyyy/MM/dd and dd-MM-yyyy.

Note supplied date format and date string go hand in hand.

<script type="text/javascript">

Below is the HTML snippet

    <input type="text" name="start" id="start" size="10" value="05/31/2016" />
<br/> 
<input type="text" name="end" id="end" size="10" value="04/28/2016" />
<br/>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:validate('MM/dd/yyyy');" />

Loop through a comma-separated shell variable

Another solution not using IFS and still preserving the spaces:

$ var="a bc,def,ghij"
$ while read line; do echo line="$line"; done < <(echo "$var" | tr ',' '\n')
line=a bc
line=def
line=ghij

How do I load a file into the python console?

For Python 2 give execfile a try. (See other answers for Python 3)

execfile('file.py')

Example usage:
Let's use "copy con" to quickly create a small script file...

C:\junk>copy con execfile_example.py
a = [9, 42, 888]
b = len(a)
^Z
        1 file(s) copied.

...and then let's load this script like so:

C:\junk>\python27\python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> execfile('execfile_example.py')
>>> a
[9, 42, 888]
>>> b
3
>>>
