Why is setTimeout(fn, 0) sometimes useful?
Both of these two top-rated answers are wrong. Check out the MDN description on the concurrency model and the event loop, and it should become clear what's going on (that MDN resource is a real gem). And simply using setTimeout
can be adding unexpected problems in your code in addition to "solving" this little problem.
What's actually going on here is not that "the browser might not be quite ready yet because concurrency," or something based on "each line is an event that gets added to the back of the queue".
The jsfiddle provided by DVK indeed illustrates a problem, but his explanation for it isn't correct.
What's happening in his code is that he's first attaching an event handler to the click
event on the #do
button.
Then, when you actually click the button, a message
is created referencing the event handler function, which gets added to the message queue
. When the event loop
reaches this message, it creates a frame
on the stack, with the function call to the click event handler in the jsfiddle.
And this is where it gets interesting. We're so used to thinking of Javascript as being asynchronous that we're prone to overlook this tiny fact: Any frame has to be executed, in full, before the next frame can be executed. No concurrency, people.
What does this mean? It means that whenever a function is invoked from the message queue, it blocks the queue until the stack it generates has been emptied. Or, in more general terms, it blocks until the function has returned. And it blocks everything, including DOM rendering operations, scrolling, and whatnot. If you want confirmation, just try to increase the duration of the long running operation in the fiddle (e.g. run the outer loop 10 more times), and you'll notice that while it runs, you cannot scroll the page. If it runs long enough, your browser will ask you if you want to kill the process, because it's making the page unresponsive. The frame is being executed, and the event loop and message queue are stuck until it finishes.
So why this side-effect of the text not updating? Because while you have changed the value of the element in the DOM — you can console.log()
its value immediately after changing it and see that it has been changed (which shows why DVK's explanation isn't correct) — the browser is waiting for the stack to deplete (the on
handler function to return) and thus the message to finish, so that it can eventually get around to executing the message that has been added by the runtime as a reaction to our mutation operation, and in order to reflect that mutation in the UI.
This is because we are actually waiting for code to finish running. We haven't said "someone fetch this and then call this function with the results, thanks, and now I'm done so imma return, do whatever now," like we usually do with our event-based asynchronous Javascript. We enter a click event handler function, we update a DOM element, we call another function, the other function works for a long time and then returns, we then update the same DOM element, and then we return from the initial function, effectively emptying the stack. And then the browser can get to the next message in the queue, which might very well be a message generated by us by triggering some internal "on-DOM-mutation" type event.
The browser UI cannot (or chooses not to) update the UI until the currently executing frame has completed (the function has returned). Personally, I think this is rather by design than restriction.
Why does the setTimeout
thing work then? It does so, because it effectively removes the call to the long-running function from its own frame, scheduling it to be executed later in the window
context, so that it itself can return immediately and allow the message queue to process other messages. And the idea is that the UI "on update" message that has been triggered by us in Javascript when changing the text in the DOM is now ahead of the message queued for the long-running function, so that the UI update happens before we block for a long time.
Note that a) The long-running function still blocks everything when it runs, and b) you're not guaranteed that the UI update is actually ahead of it in the message queue. On my June 2018 Chrome browser, a value of 0
does not "fix" the problem the fiddle demonstrates — 10 does. I'm actually a bit stifled by this, because it seems logical to me that the UI update message should be queued up before it, since its trigger is executed before scheduling the long-running function to be run "later". But perhaps there're some optimisations in the V8 engine that may interfere, or maybe my understanding is just lacking.
Okay, so what's the problem with using setTimeout
, and what's a better solution for this particular case?
First off, the problem with using setTimeout
on any event handler like this, to try to alleviate another problem, is prone to mess with other code. Here's a real-life example from my work:
A colleague, in a mis-informed understanding on the event loop, tried to "thread" Javascript by having some template rendering code use setTimeout 0
for its rendering. He's no longer here to ask, but I can presume that perhaps he inserted timers to gauge the rendering speed (which would be the return immediacy of functions) and found that using this approach would make for blisteringly fast responses from that function.
First problem is obvious; you cannot thread javascript, so you win nothing here while you add obfuscation. Secondly, you have now effectively detached the rendering of a template from the stack of possible event listeners that might expect that very template to have been rendered, while it may very well not have been. The actual behaviour of that function was now non-deterministic, as was — unknowingly so — any function that would run it, or depend on it. You can make educated guesses, but you cannot properly code for its behaviour.
The "fix" when writing a new event handler that depended on its logic was to also use setTimeout 0
. But, that's not a fix, it is hard to understand, and it is no fun to debug errors that are caused by code like this. Sometimes there's no problem ever, other times it concistently fails, and then again, sometimes it works and breaks sporadically, depending on the current performance of the platform and whatever else happens to going on at the time. This is why I personally would advise against using this hack (it is a hack, and we should all know that it is), unless you really know what you're doing and what the consequences are.
But what can we do instead? Well, as the referenced MDN article suggests, either split the work into multiple messages (if you can) so that other messages that are queued up may be interleaved with your work and executed while it runs, or use a web worker, which can run in tandem with your page and return results when done with its calculations.
Oh, and if you're thinking, "Well, couldn't I just put a callback in the long-running function to make it asynchronous?," then no. The callback doesn't make it asynchronous, it'll still have to run the long-running code before explicitly calling your callback.

how to specify new environment location for conda create
If you want to use the --prefix
or -p
arguments, but want to avoid having to use the environment's full path to activate it, you need to edit the .condarc
config file before you create the environment.
The .condarc
file is in the home directory; C:\Users\<user>
on Windows. Edit the values under the envs_dirs
key to include the custom path for your environment. Assuming the custom path is D:\envs
, the file should end up looking something like this:
ssl_verify: true
channels:
- defaults
envs_dirs:
- C:\Users\<user>\Anaconda3\envs
- D:\envs
Then, when you create a new environment on that path, its name will appear along with the path when you run conda env list
, and you should be able to activate it using only the name, and not the full path.
Command line screenshot
In summary, if you edit .condarc
to include D:\envs
, and then run conda env create -p D:\envs\myenv python=x.x
, then activate myenv
(or source activate myenv
on Linux) should work.
Hope that helps!
P.S. I stumbled upon this through trial and error. I think what happens is when you edit the envs_dirs
key, conda updates ~\.conda\environments.txt
to include the environments found in all the directories specified under the envs_dirs
, so they can be accessed without using absolute paths.
Maven and Spring Boot - non resolvable parent pom - repo.spring.io (Unknown host)
As people already mentioned, it could be internet problems or proxy configuration.
I found this question when I was searching about the same problem. In my case, it was proxy configuration.
Answers posted here didn't solve my issue, because every link suggest a configuration that shows the username and passoword and I can't use it.

Delete topic in Kafka 0.8.1.1
Andrea is correct. we can do it using command line.
And we still can program it, by
ZkClient zkClient = new ZkClient("localhost:2181", 10000);
zkClient.deleteRecursive(ZkUtils.getTopicPath("test2"));
Actually I do not recommend you delete topic on Kafka 0.8.1.1. I can delete this topic by this method, but if you check log for zookeeper, deletion mess it up.
Get specific objects from ArrayList when objects were added anonymously?
Given the use of List
, there's no way to "lookup" a value without iterating through it...
For example...
Cave cave = new Cave();
// Loop adds several Parties to the cave's party list
cave.parties.add(new Party("FirstParty")); // all anonymously added
cave.parties.add(new Party("SecondParty"));
cave.parties.add(new Party("ThirdParty"));
for (Party p : cave.parties) {
if (p.name.equals("SecondParty") {
p.index = ...;
break;
}
}
Now, this will take time. If the element you are looking for is at the end of the list, you will have to iterate to the end of the list before you find a match.
It might be better to use a Map
of some kind...
So, if we update Cave
to look like...
class Cave {
Map<String, Party> parties = new HashMap<String, Party>(25);
}
We could do something like...
Cave cave = new Cave();
// Loop adds several Parties to the cave's party list
cave.parties.put("FirstParty", new Party("FirstParty")); // all anonymously added
cave.parties.put("SecondParty", new Party("SecondParty"));
cave.parties.put("ThirdParty", new Party("ThirdParty"));
if (cave.parties.containsKey("SecondParty")) {
cave.parties.get("SecondParty").index = ...
}
Instead...
Ultimately, this will all depend on what it is you want to achieve...

How to run the sftp command with a password from Bash script?
EXPECT
is a great program to use.
On Ubuntu install it with:
sudo apt-get install expect
On a CentOS Machine install it with:
yum install expect
Lets say you want to make a connection to a sftp server and then upload a local file from your local machine to the remote sftp server
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn sftp [email protected]
expect "password:"
send "yourpasswordhere\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd logdirectory\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "put /var/log/file.log\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "exit\n"
interact
This opens a sftp connection with your password to the server.
Then it goes to the directory where you want to upload your file, in this case "logdirectory"
This uploads a log file from the local directory found at /var/log/ with the files name being file.log to the "logdirectory" on the remote server
How to do ToString for a possibly null object?
With an extension method, you can accomplish this:
public static class Extension
{
public static string ToStringOrEmpty(this Object value)
{
return value == null ? "" : value.ToString();
}
}
The following would write nothing to the screen and would not thrown an exception:
string value = null;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToStringOrEmpty());
Loop Through Each HTML Table Column and Get the Data using jQuery
Using a nested .each()
means that your inner loop is doing one td at a time, so you can't set the productId
and product
and quantity
all in the inner loop.
Also using function(key, val)
and then val[key].innerHTML
isn't right: the .each()
method passes the index (an integer) and the actual element, so you'd use function(i, element)
and then element.innerHTML
. Though jQuery also sets this
to the element, so you can just say this.innerHTML
.
Anyway, here's a way to get it to work:
table.find('tr').each(function (i, el) {
var $tds = $(this).find('td'),
productId = $tds.eq(0).text(),
product = $tds.eq(1).text(),
Quantity = $tds.eq(2).text();
// do something with productId, product, Quantity
});

No == operator found while comparing structs in C++
In C++, struct
s do not have a comparison operator generated by default. You need to write your own:
bool operator==(const MyStruct1& lhs, const MyStruct1& rhs)
{
return /* your comparison code goes here */
}
How to pip install a package with min and max version range?
An elegant method would be to use the ~=
compatible release operator according to PEP 440. In your case this would amount to:
package~=0.5.0
As an example, if the following versions exist, it would choose 0.5.9
:
For clarification, each pair is equivalent:
~= 0.5.0
>= 0.5.0, == 0.5.*
~= 0.5
>= 0.5, == 0.*
Android: Remove all the previous activities from the back stack
finishAffinity()
added in API 16. Use ActivityCompat.finishAffinity()
in previous versions. When you will launch any activity using intent and finish the current activity. Now use ActivityCompat.finishAffinity()
instead finish()
. it will finish all stacked activity below current activity. It works fine for me.

Creating and returning Observable from Angular 2 Service
Notice that you're using Observable#map to convert the raw Response
object your base Observable emits to a parsed representation of the JSON response.
If I understood you correctly, you want to map
again. But this time, converting that raw JSON to instances of your Model
. So you would do something like:
http.get('api/people.json')
.map(res => res.json())
.map(peopleData => peopleData.map(personData => new Person(personData)))
So, you started with an Observable that emits a Response
object, turned that into an observable that emits an object of the parsed JSON of that response, and then turned that into yet another observable that turned that raw JSON into an array of your models.
What is a pre-revprop-change hook in SVN, and how do I create it?
If you want to save the changes on the log messages, use the batch script from the answer above from @patmortech (https://stackoverflow.com/a/468475),
who copied the script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/68850,
and add these lines between if "%bIsEmpty%" == "true" goto ERROR_EMPTY
and goto :eofbefore
:
set outputFile=%repos%\log-change-history.txt
echo User '%user%' changes log message in rev %rev% on %date% %time%.>>%outputFile%
echo ----- Old message: ----->>%outputFile%
svnlook propget --revprop %repos% svn:log -r %rev% >>%outputFile%
echo.>>%outputFile%
echo ----- New message: ----->>%outputFile%
for /f "tokens=*" %%g in ('find /V ""') do (echo %%g >>%outputFile%)
echo ---------->>%outputFile%
echo.>>%outputFile%
It will create a text file log-change-history.txt
in the repo folder on the server and append each log change notification.
Get DataKey values in GridView RowCommand
foreach (GridViewRow gvr in gvMyGridView.Rows)
{
string PrimaryKey = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values[0].ToString();
}
You can use this code while doing an iteration with foreach
or for any GridView event like OnRowDataBound
.
Here you can input multiple values for DataKeyNames
by separating with comma ,
. For example, DataKeyNames="ProductID,ItemID,OrderID"
.
You can now access each of DataKeys
by providing its index like below:
string ProductID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values[0].ToString();
string ItemID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString();
string OrderID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values[2].ToString();
You can also use Key Name instead of its index to get the values from DataKeyNames
collection like below:
string ProductID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values["ProductID"].ToString();
string ItemID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values["ItemID"].ToString();
string OrderID = gvMyGridView.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex].Values["OrderID"].ToString();
Maximum number of threads in a .NET app?
Mitch is right. It depends on resources (memory).
Although Raymond's article is dedicated to Windows threads, not to C# threads, the logic applies the same (C# threads are mapped to Windows threads).
However, as we are in C#, if we want to be completely precise, we need to distinguish between "started" and "non started" threads. Only started threads actually reserve stack space (as we could expect). Non started threads only allocate the information required by a thread object (you can use reflector if interested in the actual members).
You can actually test it for yourself, compare:
static void DummyCall()
{
Thread.Sleep(1000000000);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int count = 0;
var threadList = new List<Thread>();
try
{
while (true)
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DummyCall), 1024);
newThread.Start();
threadList.Add(newThread);
count++;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
with:
static void DummyCall()
{
Thread.Sleep(1000000000);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int count = 0;
var threadList = new List<Thread>();
try
{
while (true)
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DummyCall), 1024);
threadList.Add(newThread);
count++;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
Put a breakpoint in the exception (out of memory, of course) in VS to see the value of counter. There is a very significant difference, of course.
Can Twitter Bootstrap alerts fade in as well as out?
The thing I use is this:
In your template an alert area
<div id="alert-area"></div>
Then an jQuery function for showing an alert
function newAlert (type, message) {
$("#alert-area").append($("<div class='alert-message " + type + " fade in' data-alert><p> " + message + " </p></div>"));
$(".alert-message").delay(2000).fadeOut("slow", function () { $(this).remove(); });
}
newAlert('success', 'Oh yeah!');
How to add a color overlay to a background image?

background-size:cover;
box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 2000px rgba(255, 0, 150, 0.3);
}

Strip Leading and Trailing Spaces From Java String
With Java-11 and above, you can make use of the String.strip
API to return a string whose value is this string, with all leading and trailing whitespace removed. The javadoc for the same reads :
/**
* Returns a string whose value is this string, with all leading
* and trailing {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space}
* removed.
* <p>
* If this {@code String} object represents an empty string,
* or if all code points in this string are
* {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space}, then an empty string
* is returned.
* <p>
* Otherwise, returns a substring of this string beginning with the first
* code point that is not a {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space}
* up to and including the last code point that is not a
* {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space}.
* <p>
* This method may be used to strip
* {@link Character#isWhitespace(int) white space} from
* the beginning and end of a string.
*
* @return a string whose value is this string, with all leading
* and trailing white space removed
*
* @see Character#isWhitespace(int)
*
* @since 11
*/
public String strip()
The sample cases for these could be:--
System.out.println(" leading".strip()); // prints "leading"
System.out.println("trailing ".strip()); // prints "trailing"
System.out.println(" keep this ".strip()); // prints "keep this"
input file appears to be a text format dump. Please use psql
In order to create a backup using pg_dump
that is compatible with pg_restore
you must use the --format=custom
/ -Fc
when creating your dump.
From the docs:
Output a custom-format archive suitable for input into pg_restore.
So your pg_dump
command might look like:
pg_dump --file /tmp/db.dump --format=custom --host localhost --dbname my-source-database --username my-username --password
And your pg_restore
command:
pg_restore --verbose --clean --no-acl --no-owner --host localhost --dbname my-destination-database /tmp/db.dump
Switch statement fallthrough in C#?
The "why" is to avoid accidental fall-through, for which I'm grateful. This is a not uncommon source of bugs in C and Java.
The workaround is to use goto, e.g.
switch (number.ToString().Length)
{
case 3:
ans += string.Format("{0} hundred and ", numbers[number / 100]);
goto case 2;
case 2:
// Etc
}
The general design of switch/case is a little bit unfortunate in my view. It stuck too close to C - there are some useful changes which could be made in terms of scoping etc. Arguably a smarter switch which could do pattern matching etc would be helpful, but that's really changing from switch to "check a sequence of conditions" - at which point a different name would perhaps be called for.
add scroll bar to table body
This is because you are adding your <tbody>
tag before <td>
in table you cannot print any data without <td>
.
So for that you have to make a <div>
say #header
with position: fixed;
header
{
position: fixed;
}
make another <div>
which will act as <tbody>
tbody
{
overflow:scroll;
}
Now your header is fixed and the body will scroll. And the header will remain there.
Implementing a slider (SeekBar) in Android
How to implement a SeekBar
Add the SeekBar to your layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<SeekBar
android:id="@+id/seekBar"
android:max="100"
android:progress="50"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
Notes
max
is the highest value that the seek bar can go to. The default is 100
. The minimum is 0
. The xml min
value is only available from API 26, but you can just programmatically convert the 0-100
range to whatever you need for earlier versions.
progress
is the initial position of the slider dot (called a "thumb").
- For a vertical SeekBar use
android:rotation="270"
.
Listen for changes in code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView tvProgressLabel;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// set a change listener on the SeekBar
SeekBar seekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(seekBarChangeListener);
int progress = seekBar.getProgress();
tvProgressLabel = findViewById(R.id.textView);
tvProgressLabel.setText("Progress: " + progress);
}
SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener seekBarChangeListener = new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
// updated continuously as the user slides the thumb
tvProgressLabel.setText("Progress: " + progress);
}
@Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
// called when the user first touches the SeekBar
}
@Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
// called after the user finishes moving the SeekBar
}
};
}
Notes
- If you don't need to do any updates while the user is moving the seekbar, then you can just update the UI in
onStopTrackingTouch

move_uploaded_file gives "failed to open stream: Permission denied" error
I ran into this related issue even after having already successfully run composer. I updated composer, and when running composer install
or php composer.phar install
I got:
...failed to open stream: Permission denied...
It turns out after much research that the previous answers regarding changing permissions for the folder worked. They are just slightly different directories now.
In my install, on OS X, the cache file is in /Users/[USER]/.composer/cache
, and I was having trouble because the cache file was owned by root. Changing ownership of '.composer' recursively to my user solved the issue.
This is what I did:
sudo chown -R [USER] cache
Then I ran the composer install again and voila!
javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException: View could not be restored
Introduction
The ViewExpiredException
will be thrown whenever the javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD
is set to server
(default) and the enduser sends a HTTP POST request on a view via <h:form>
with <h:commandLink>
, <h:commandButton>
or <f:ajax>
, while the associated view state isn't available in the session anymore.
The view state is identified as value of a hidden input field javax.faces.ViewState
of the <h:form>
. With the state saving method set to server
, this contains only the view state ID which references a serialized view state in the session. So, when the session is expired for some reason (either timed out in server or client side, or the session cookie is not maintained anymore for some reason in browser, or by calling HttpSession#invalidate()
in server, or due a server specific bug with session cookies as known in WildFly), then the serialized view state is not available anymore in the session and the enduser will get this exception. To understand the working of the session, see also How do servlets work? Instantiation, sessions, shared variables and multithreading.
There is also a limit on the amount of views JSF will store in the session. When the limit is hit, then the least recently used view will be expired. See also com.sun.faces.numberOfViewsInSession vs com.sun.faces.numberOfLogicalViews.
With the state saving method set to client
, the javax.faces.ViewState
hidden input field contains instead the whole serialized view state, so the enduser won't get a ViewExpiredException
when the session expires. It can however still happen on a cluster environment ("ERROR: MAC did not verify" is symptomatic) and/or when there's a implementation-specific timeout on the client side state configured and/or when server re-generates the AES key during restart, see also Getting ViewExpiredException in clustered environment while state saving method is set to client and user session is valid how to solve it.
Regardless of the solution, make sure you do not use enableRestoreView11Compatibility
. it does not at all restore the original view state. It basically recreates the view and all associated view scoped beans from scratch and hereby thus losing all of original data (state). As the application will behave in a confusing way ("Hey, where are my input values..??"), this is very bad for user experience. Better use stateless views or <o:enableRestorableView>
instead so you can manage it on a specific view only instead of on all views.
As to the why JSF needs to save view state, head to this answer: Why JSF saves the state of UI components on server?
Avoiding ViewExpiredException on page navigation
In order to avoid ViewExpiredException
when e.g. navigating back after logout when the state saving is set to server
, only redirecting the POST request after logout is not sufficient. You also need to instruct the browser to not cache the dynamic JSF pages, otherwise the browser may show them from the cache instead of requesting a fresh one from the server when you send a GET request on it (e.g. by back button).
The javax.faces.ViewState
hidden field of the cached page may contain a view state ID value which is not valid anymore in the current session. If you're (ab)using POST (command links/buttons) instead of GET (regular links/buttons) for page-to-page navigation, and click such a command link/button on the cached page, then this will in turn fail with a ViewExpiredException
.
To fire a redirect after logout in JSF 2.0, either add <redirect />
to the <navigation-case>
in question (if any), or add ?faces-redirect=true
to the outcome
value.
<h:commandButton value="Logout" action="logout?faces-redirect=true" />
or
public String logout() {
// ...
return "index?faces-redirect=true";
}
To instruct the browser to not cache the dynamic JSF pages, create a Filter
which is mapped on the servlet name of the FacesServlet
and adds the needed response headers to disable the browser cache. E.g.
@WebFilter(servletNames={"Faces Servlet"}) // Must match <servlet-name> of your FacesServlet.
public class NoCacheFilter implements Filter {
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
if (!req.getRequestURI().startsWith(req.getContextPath() + ResourceHandler.RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER)) { // Skip JSF resources (CSS/JS/Images/etc)
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1.
res.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0.
res.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // Proxies.
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
// ...
}
Avoiding ViewExpiredException on page refresh
In order to avoid ViewExpiredException
when refreshing the current page when the state saving is set to server
, you not only need to make sure you are performing page-to-page navigation exclusively by GET (regular links/buttons), but you also need to make sure that you are exclusively using ajax to submit the forms. If you're submitting the form synchronously (non-ajax) anyway, then you'd best either make the view stateless (see later section), or to send a redirect after POST (see previous section).
Having a ViewExpiredException
on page refresh is in default configuration a very rare case. It can only happen when the limit on the amount of views JSF will store in the session is hit. So, it will only happen when you've manually set that limit way too low, or that you're continuously creating new views in the "background" (e.g. by a badly implemented ajax poll in the same page or by a badly implemented 404 error page on broken images of the same page). See also com.sun.faces.numberOfViewsInSession vs com.sun.faces.numberOfLogicalViews for detail on that limit. Another cause is having duplicate JSF libraries in runtime classpath conflicting each other. The correct procedure to install JSF is outlined in our JSF wiki page.
Handling ViewExpiredException
When you want to handle an unavoidable ViewExpiredException
after a POST action on an arbitrary page which was already opened in some browser tab/window while you're logged out in another tab/window, then you'd like to specify an error-page
for that in web.xml
which goes to a "Your session is timed out" page. E.g.
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.faces.application.ViewExpiredException</exception-type>
<location>/WEB-INF/errorpages/expired.xhtml</location>
</error-page>
Use if necessary a meta refresh header in the error page in case you intend to actually redirect further to home or login page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Session expired</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=#{request.contextPath}/login.xhtml" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Session expired</h1>
<h3>You will be redirected to login page</h3>
<p><a href="#{request.contextPath}/login.xhtml">Click here if redirect didn't work or when you're impatient</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>
(the 0
in content
represents the amount of seconds before redirect, 0
thus means "redirect immediately", you can use e.g. 3
to let the browser wait 3 seconds with the redirect)
Note that handling exceptions during ajax requests requires a special ExceptionHandler
. See also Session timeout and ViewExpiredException handling on JSF/PrimeFaces ajax request. You can find a live example at OmniFaces FullAjaxExceptionHandler
showcase page (this also covers non-ajax requests).
Also note that your "general" error page should be mapped on <error-code>
of 500
instead of an <exception-type>
of e.g. java.lang.Exception
or java.lang.Throwable
, otherwise all exceptions wrapped in ServletException
such as ViewExpiredException
would still end up in the general error page. See also ViewExpiredException shown in java.lang.Throwable error-page in web.xml.
<error-page>
<error-code>500</error-code>
<location>/WEB-INF/errorpages/general.xhtml</location>
</error-page>
Stateless views
A completely different alternative is to run JSF views in stateless mode. This way nothing of JSF state will be saved and the views will never expire, but just be rebuilt from scratch on every request. You can turn on stateless views by setting the transient
attribute of <f:view>
to true
:
<f:view transient="true">
</f:view>
This way the javax.faces.ViewState
hidden field will get a fixed value of "stateless"
in Mojarra (have not checked MyFaces at this point). Note that this feature was introduced in Mojarra 2.1.19 and 2.2.0 and is not available in older versions.
The consequence is that you cannot use view scoped beans anymore. They will now behave like request scoped beans. One of the disadvantages is that you have to track the state yourself by fiddling with hidden inputs and/or loose request parameters. Mainly those forms with input fields with rendered
, readonly
or disabled
attributes which are controlled by ajax events will be affected.
Note that the <f:view>
does not necessarily need to be unique throughout the view and/or reside in the master template only. It's also completely legit to redeclare and nest it in a template client. It basically "extends" the parent <f:view>
then. E.g. in master template:
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<ui:insert name="content" />
</f:view>
and in template client:
<ui:define name="content">
<f:view transient="true">
<h:form>...</h:form>
</f:view>
</f:view>
You can even wrap the <f:view>
in a <c:if>
to make it conditional. Note that it would apply on the entire view, not only on the nested contents, such as the <h:form>
in above example.
See also
Unrelated to the concrete problem, using HTTP POST for pure page-to-page navigation isn't very user/SEO friendly. In JSF 2.0 you should really prefer <h:link>
or <h:button>
over the <h:commandXxx>
ones for plain vanilla page-to-page navigation.
So instead of e.g.
<h:form id="menu">
<h:commandLink value="Foo" action="foo?faces-redirect=true" />
<h:commandLink value="Bar" action="bar?faces-redirect=true" />
<h:commandLink value="Baz" action="baz?faces-redirect=true" />
</h:form>
better do
<h:link value="Foo" outcome="foo" />
<h:link value="Bar" outcome="bar" />
<h:link value="Baz" outcome="baz" />

websocket.send() parameter
As I understand it, you want the server be able to send messages through from client 1 to client 2. You cannot directly connect two clients because one of the two ends of a WebSocket connection needs to be a server.
This is some pseudocodish JavaScript:
Client:
var websocket = new WebSocket("server address");
websocket.onmessage = function(str) {
console.log("Someone sent: ", str);
};
// Tell the server this is client 1 (swap for client 2 of course)
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({
id: "client1"
}));
// Tell the server we want to send something to the other client
websocket.send(JSON.stringify({
to: "client2",
data: "foo"
}));
Server:
var clients = {};
server.on("data", function(client, str) {
var obj = JSON.parse(str);
if("id" in obj) {
// New client, add it to the id/client object
clients[obj.id] = client;
} else {
// Send data to the client requested
clients[obj.to].send(obj.data);
}
});

How to move (and overwrite) all files from one directory to another?
It's just mv srcdir/* targetdir/
.
If there are too many files in srcdir
you might want to try something like the following approach:
cd srcdir
find -exec mv {} targetdir/ +
In contrast to \;
the final +
collects arguments in an xargs
like manner instead of executing mv
once for every file.
How to use the 'replace' feature for custom AngularJS directives?
When you have replace: true
you get the following piece of DOM:
<div ng-controller="Ctrl" class="ng-scope">
<div class="ng-binding">hello</div>
</div>
whereas, with replace: false
you get this:
<div ng-controller="Ctrl" class="ng-scope">
<my-dir>
<div class="ng-binding">hello</div>
</my-dir>
</div>
So the replace
property in directives refer to whether the element to which the directive is being applied (<my-dir>
in that case) should remain (replace: false
) and the directive's template should be appended as its child,
OR
the element to which the directive is being applied should be replaced (replace: true
) by the directive's template.
In both cases the element's (to which the directive is being applied) children will be lost. If you wanted to perserve the element's original content/children you would have to translude it. The following directive would do it:
.directive('myDir', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: false,
transclude: true,
template: '<div>{{title}}<div ng-transclude></div></div>'
};
});
In that case if in the directive's template you have an element (or elements) with attribute ng-transclude
, its content will be replaced by the element's (to which the directive is being applied) original content.
See example of translusion http://plnkr.co/edit/2DJQydBjgwj9vExLn3Ik?p=preview
See this to read more about translusion.
Circle line-segment collision detection algorithm?
Just an addition to this thread...
Below is a version of the code posted by pahlevan, but for C#/XNA and tidied up a little:
/// <summary>
/// Intersects a line and a circle.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="location">the location of the circle</param>
/// <param name="radius">the radius of the circle</param>
/// <param name="lineFrom">the starting point of the line</param>
/// <param name="lineTo">the ending point of the line</param>
/// <returns>true if the line and circle intersect each other</returns>
public static bool IntersectLineCircle(Vector2 location, float radius, Vector2 lineFrom, Vector2 lineTo)
{
float ab2, acab, h2;
Vector2 ac = location - lineFrom;
Vector2 ab = lineTo - lineFrom;
Vector2.Dot(ref ab, ref ab, out ab2);
Vector2.Dot(ref ac, ref ab, out acab);
float t = acab / ab2;
if (t < 0)
t = 0;
else if (t > 1)
t = 1;
Vector2 h = ((ab * t) + lineFrom) - location;
Vector2.Dot(ref h, ref h, out h2);
return (h2 <= (radius * radius));

Simple and fast method to compare images for similarity
Can the screenshot or icon be transformed (scaled, rotated, skewed ...)? There are quite a few methods on top of my head that could possibly help you:
- Simple euclidean distance as mentioned by @carlosdc (doesn't work with transformed images and you need a threshold).
- (Normalized) Cross Correlation - a simple metrics which you can use for comparison of image areas. It's more robust than the simple euclidean distance but doesn't work on transformed images and you will again need a threshold.
- Histogram comparison - if you use normalized histograms, this method works well and is not affected by affine transforms. The problem is determining the correct threshold. It is also very sensitive to color changes (brightness, contrast etc.). You can combine it with the previous two.
- Detectors of salient points/areas - such as MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions), SURF or SIFT. These are very robust algorithms and they might be too complicated for your simple task. Good thing is that you do not have to have an exact area with only one icon, these detectors are powerful enough to find the right match. A nice evaluation of these methods is in this paper: Local invariant feature detectors: a survey.
Most of these are already implemented in OpenCV - see for example the cvMatchTemplate method (uses histogram matching): http://dasl.mem.drexel.edu/~noahKuntz/openCVTut6.html. The salient point/area detectors are also available - see OpenCV Feature Detection.
What is the best way to remove accents (normalize) in a Python unicode string?
Some languages have combining diacritics as language letters and accent diacritics to specify accent.
I think it is more safe to specify explicitly what diactrics you want to strip:
def strip_accents(string, accents=('COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT', 'COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT', 'COMBINING TILDE')):
accents = set(map(unicodedata.lookup, accents))
chars = [c for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFD', string) if c not in accents]
return unicodedata.normalize('NFC', ''.join(chars))
Can I inject a service into a directive in AngularJS?
You can do injection on Directives, and it looks just like it does everywhere else.
app.directive('changeIt', ['myData', function(myData){
return {
restrict: 'C',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
scope.name = myData.name;
}
}
}]);
formatFloat : convert float number to string
Try this
package main
import "fmt"
import "strconv"
func FloatToString(input_num float64) string {
// to convert a float number to a string
return strconv.FormatFloat(input_num, 'f', 6, 64)
}
func main() {
fmt.Println(FloatToString(21312421.213123))
}
If you just want as many digits precision as possible, then the special precision -1 uses the smallest number of digits necessary such that ParseFloat will return f exactly. Eg
strconv.FormatFloat(input_num, 'f', -1, 64)
Personally I find fmt
easier to use. (Playground link)
fmt.Printf("x = %.6f\n", 21312421.213123)
Or if you just want to convert the string
fmt.Sprintf("%.6f", 21312421.213123)
How does Subquery in select statement work in oracle
In the Oracle RDBMS, it is possible to use a multi-row subquery in the select clause as long as the (sub-)output is encapsulated as a collection. In particular, a multi-row select clause subquery can output each of its rows as an xmlelement that is encapsulated in an xmlforest.
How to create RecyclerView with multiple view type?
Yes, it's possible. Just implement getItemViewType(), and take care of the viewType
parameter in onCreateViewHolder()
.
So you do something like:
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {
class ViewHolder0 extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
...
public ViewHolder0(View itemView){
...
}
}
class ViewHolder2 extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
...
public ViewHolder2(View itemView){
...
}
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
// Just as an example, return 0 or 2 depending on position
// Note that unlike in ListView adapters, types don't have to be contiguous
return position % 2 * 2;
}
@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
switch (viewType) {
case 0: return new ViewHolder0(...);
case 2: return new ViewHolder2(...);
...
}
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(final RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, final int position) {
switch (holder.getItemViewType()) {
case 0:
ViewHolder0 viewHolder0 = (ViewHolder0)holder;
...
break;
case 2:
ViewHolder2 viewHolder2 = (ViewHolder2)holder;
...
break;
}
}
}
Outlets cannot be connected to repeating content iOS
If you're using a table view to display Settings and other options (like the built-in Settings app does), then you can set your Table View Content to Static Cells under the Attributes Inspector. Also, to do this, you must embedded your Table View in a UITableViewController instance.
Why is vertical-align: middle not working on my span or div?
HTML
<div id="myparent">
<div id="mychild">Test Content here</div>
</div>
CSS
#myparent {
display: table;
}
#mychild {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
We set the parent div to display as a table and the child div to display as a table-cell. We can then use vertical-align on the child div and set its value to middle. Anything inside this child div will be vertically centered.
SET NAMES utf8 in MySQL?
This query should be written before the query which create or update data in the database, this query looks like :
mysql_query("set names 'utf8'");
Note that you should write the encode which you are using in the header for example if you are using utf-8 you add it like this in the header or it will couse a problem with Internet Explorer
so your page looks like this
<html>
<head>
<title>page title</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
mysql_query("set names 'utf8'");
$sql = "INSERT * FROM ..... ";
mysql_query($sql);
?>
</body>
</html>
Showing the same file in both columns of a Sublime Text window

Debugging iframes with Chrome developer tools

JavaScript pattern for multiple constructors
I believe there are two answers. One using 'pure' Javascript with IIFE function to hide its auxiliary construction functions. And the other using a NodeJS module to also hide its auxiliary construction functions.
I will show only the example with a NodeJS module.
Class Vector2d.js:
/*
Implement a class of type Vetor2d with three types of constructors.
*/
// If a constructor function is successfully executed,
// must have its value changed to 'true'.let global_wasExecuted = false;
global_wasExecuted = false;
//Tests whether number_value is a numeric type
function isNumber(number_value) {
let hasError = !(typeof number_value === 'number') || !isFinite(number_value);
if (hasError === false){
hasError = isNaN(number_value);
}
return !hasError;
}
// Object with 'x' and 'y' properties associated with its values.
function vector(x,y){
return {'x': x, 'y': y};
}
//constructor in case x and y are 'undefined'
function new_vector_zero(x, y){
if (x === undefined && y === undefined){
global_wasExecuted = true;
return new vector(0,0);
}
}
//constructor in case x and y are numbers
function new_vector_numbers(x, y){
let x_isNumber = isNumber(x);
let y_isNumber = isNumber(y);
if (x_isNumber && y_isNumber){
global_wasExecuted = true;
return new vector(x,y);
}
}
//constructor in case x is an object and y is any
//thing (he is ignored!)
function new_vector_object(x, y){
let x_ehObject = typeof x === 'object';
//ignore y type
if (x_ehObject){
//assigns the object only for clarity of code
let x_object = x;
//tests whether x_object has the properties 'x' and 'y'
if ('x' in x_object && 'y' in x_object){
global_wasExecuted = true;
/*
we only know that x_object has the properties 'x' and 'y',
now we will test if the property values ??are valid,
calling the class constructor again.
*/
return new Vector2d(x_object.x, x_object.y);
}
}
}
//Function that returns an array of constructor functions
function constructors(){
let c = [];
c.push(new_vector_zero);
c.push(new_vector_numbers);
c.push(new_vector_object);
/*
Your imagination is the limit!
Create as many construction functions as you want.
*/
return c;
}
class Vector2d {
constructor(x, y){
//returns an array of constructor functions
let my_constructors = constructors();
global_wasExecuted = false;
//variable for the return of the 'vector' function
let new_vector;
//traverses the array executing its corresponding constructor function
for (let index = 0; index < my_constructors.length; index++) {
//execute a function added by the 'constructors' function
new_vector = my_constructors[index](x,y);
if (global_wasExecuted) {
this.x = new_vector.x;
this.y = new_vector.y;
break;
};
};
}
toString(){
return `(x: ${this.x}, y: ${this.y})`;
}
}
//Only the 'Vector2d' class will be visible externally
module.exports = Vector2d;
The useVector2d.js file uses the Vector2d.js module:
const Vector = require('./Vector2d');
let v1 = new Vector({x: 2, y: 3});
console.log(`v1 = ${v1.toString()}`);
let v2 = new Vector(1, 5.2);
console.log(`v2 = ${v2.toString()}`);
let v3 = new Vector();
console.log(`v3 = ${v3.toString()}`);
Terminal output:
v1 = (x: 2, y: 3)
v2 = (x: 1, y: 5.2)
v3 = (x: 0, y: 0)
With this we avoid dirty code (many if's and switch's spread throughout the code), difficult to maintain and test. Each building function knows which conditions to test. Increasing and / or decreasing your building functions is now simple.
Unable to find a @SpringBootConfiguration when doing a JpaTest
It is worth to check if you have refactored package name of your main class annotated with @SpringBootApplication
. In that case the testcase should be in an appropriate package otherwise it will be looking for it in the older package . this was the case for me.
About catching ANY exception
Apart from a bare except:
clause (which as others have said you shouldn't use), you can simply catch Exception
:
import traceback
import logging
try:
whatever()
except Exception as e:
logging.error(traceback.format_exc())
# Logs the error appropriately.
You would normally only ever consider doing this at the outermost level of your code if for example you wanted to handle any otherwise uncaught exceptions before terminating.
The advantage of except Exception
over the bare except
is that there are a few exceptions that it wont catch, most obviously KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit
: if you caught and swallowed those then you could make it hard for anyone to exit your script.
Paging UICollectionView by cells, not screen
Horizontal Paging With Custom Page Width (Swift 4 & 5)
Many solutions presented here result in some weird behaviour that doesn't feel like properly implemented paging.
The solution presented in this tutorial, however, doesn't seem to have any issues. It just feels like a perfectly working paging algorithm. You can implement it in 5 simple steps:
- Add the following property to your type:
private var indexOfCellBeforeDragging = 0
- Set the
collectionView
delegate
like this: collectionView.delegate = self
- Add conformance to
UICollectionViewDelegate
via an extension: extension YourType: UICollectionViewDelegate { }
Add the following method to the extension implementing the UICollectionViewDelegate
conformance and set a value for pageWidth
:
func scrollViewWillBeginDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let pageWidth = // The width your page should have (plus a possible margin)
let proportionalOffset = collectionView.contentOffset.x / pageWidth
indexOfCellBeforeDragging = Int(round(proportionalOffset))
}
Add the following method to the extension implementing the UICollectionViewDelegate
conformance, set the same value for pageWidth
(you may also store this value at a central place) and set a value for collectionViewItemCount
:
func scrollViewWillEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, withVelocity velocity: CGPoint, targetContentOffset: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGPoint>) {
// Stop scrolling
targetContentOffset.pointee = scrollView.contentOffset
// Calculate conditions
let pageWidth = // The width your page should have (plus a possible margin)
let collectionViewItemCount = // The number of items in this section
let proportionalOffset = collectionView.contentOffset.x / pageWidth
let indexOfMajorCell = Int(round(proportionalOffset))
let swipeVelocityThreshold: CGFloat = 0.5
let hasEnoughVelocityToSlideToTheNextCell = indexOfCellBeforeDragging + 1 < collectionViewItemCount && velocity.x > swipeVelocityThreshold
let hasEnoughVelocityToSlideToThePreviousCell = indexOfCellBeforeDragging - 1 >= 0 && velocity.x < -swipeVelocityThreshold
let majorCellIsTheCellBeforeDragging = indexOfMajorCell == indexOfCellBeforeDragging
let didUseSwipeToSkipCell = majorCellIsTheCellBeforeDragging && (hasEnoughVelocityToSlideToTheNextCell || hasEnoughVelocityToSlideToThePreviousCell)
if didUseSwipeToSkipCell {
// Animate so that swipe is just continued
let snapToIndex = indexOfCellBeforeDragging + (hasEnoughVelocityToSlideToTheNextCell ? 1 : -1)
let toValue = pageWidth * CGFloat(snapToIndex)
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.3,
delay: 0,
usingSpringWithDamping: 1,
initialSpringVelocity: velocity.x,
options: .allowUserInteraction,
animations: {
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: toValue, y: 0)
scrollView.layoutIfNeeded()
},
completion: nil
)
} else {
// Pop back (against velocity)
let indexPath = IndexPath(row: indexOfMajorCell, section: 0)
collectionView.scrollToItem(at: indexPath, at: .left, animated: true)
}
}
How to set menu to Toolbar in Android
You can achieve this by two methods
- Using XML
- Using java
Using XML
Add this attribute to toolbar XML
app:menu = "menu_name"
Using java
By overriding onCreateOptionMenu(Menu menu)
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.demo_menu,menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
}
for more details or implementating click on the menu go through this article

Django Reverse with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found
This problems gave me great headache when i tried to use reverse for generating activation link and send it via email of course. So i think from tests.py it will be same.
The correct way to do this is following:
from django.test import Client
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
#app name - name of the app where the url is defined
client= Client()
response = client.get(reverse('app_name:edit_project', project_id=4))
Objective-C: Extract filename from path string
At the risk of being years late and off topic - and notwithstanding @Marc's excellent insight, in Swift it looks like:
let basename = NSURL(string: "path/to/file.ext")?.URLByDeletingPathExtension?.lastPathComponent
Placing border inside of div and not on its edge
I know this is somewhat older, but since the keywords "border inside" landed me directly here, I would like to share some findings that may be worth mentioning here.
When I was adding a border on the hover state, i got the effects that OP is talking about. The border ads pixels to the dimension of the box which made it jumpy.
There is two more ways one can deal with this that also work for IE7.
1)
Have a border already attached to the element and simply change the color. This way the mathematics are already included.
div {
width:100px;
height:100px;
background-color: #aaa;
border: 2px solid #aaa; /* notice the solid */
}
div:hover {
border: 2px dashed #666;
}
2 )
Compensate your border with a negative margin. This will still add the extra pixels, but the positioning of the element will not be jumpy on
div {
width:100px;
height:100px;
background-color: #aaa;
}
div:hover {
margin: -2px;
border: 2px dashed #333;
}
How can I use JavaScript in Java?
Rhino is what you are looking for.
Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely
in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide
scripting to end users.
Update:
Now Nashorn, which is more performant JavaScript Engine for Java, is available with jdk8.
Plot Normal distribution with Matplotlib
Note: This solution is using pylab
, not matplotlib.pyplot
You may try using hist
to put your data info along with the fitted curve as below:
import numpy as np
import scipy.stats as stats
import pylab as pl
h = sorted([186, 176, 158, 180, 186, 168, 168, 164, 178, 170, 189, 195, 172,
187, 180, 186, 185, 168, 179, 178, 183, 179, 170, 175, 186, 159,
161, 178, 175, 185, 175, 162, 173, 172, 177, 175, 172, 177, 180]) #sorted
fit = stats.norm.pdf(h, np.mean(h), np.std(h)) #this is a fitting indeed
pl.plot(h,fit,'-o')
pl.hist(h,normed=True) #use this to draw histogram of your data
pl.show() #use may also need add this
MessageBox Buttons?
An updated version of the correct answer for .NET 4.5 would be.
if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure?", "Confirm", MessageBoxImage.Question)
== MessageBoxResult.Yes)
{
// If yes
}
else
{
// If no
}
Additionally, if you wanted to bind the button to a command in a view model you could use the following. This is compatible with MvvmLite:
public RelayCommand ShowPopUpCommand
{
get
{
return _showPopUpCommand ??
(_showPopUpCommand = new RelayCommand(
() =>
{
// Put if statement here
}
}));
}
}
What's the difference between the 'ref' and 'out' keywords?
"Baker"
That's because the first one changes your string-reference to point to "Baker". Changing the reference is possible because you passed it via the ref keyword (=> a reference to a reference to a string).
The Second call gets a copy of the reference to the string.
string looks some kind of special at first. But string is just a reference class and if you define
string s = "Able";
then s is a reference to a string class that contains the text "Able"!
Another assignment to the same variable via
s = "Baker";
does not change the original string but just creates a new instance and let s point to that instance!
You can try it with the following little code example:
string s = "Able";
string s2 = s;
s = "Baker";
Console.WriteLine(s2);
What do you expect?
What you will get is still "Able" because you just set the reference in s to another instance while s2 points to the original instance.
EDIT:
string is also immutable which means there is simply no method or property that modifies an existing string instance (you can try to find one in the docs but you won't fins any :-) ). All string manipulation methods return a new string instance! (That's why you often get a better performance when using the StringBuilder class)
Passing references to pointers in C++
Welcome to C++11 and rvalue references:
#include <cassert>
#include <string>
using std::string;
void myfunc(string*&& val)
{
assert(&val);
assert(val);
assert(val->c_str());
// Do stuff to the string pointer
}
// sometime later
int main () {
// ...
string s;
myfunc(&s);
// ...
}
Now you have access to the value of the pointer (referred to by val
), which is the address of the string.
You can modify the pointer, and no one will care. That is one aspect of what an rvalue is in the first place.
Be careful: The value of the pointer is only valid until myfunc()
returns. At last, its a temporary.
DataFrame constructor not properly called! error
You are providing a string representation of a dict to the DataFrame constructor, and not a dict itself. So this is the reason you get that error.
So if you want to use your code, you could do:
df = DataFrame(eval(data))
But better would be to not create the string in the first place, but directly putting it in a dict. Something roughly like:
data = []
for row in result_set:
data.append({'value': row["tag_expression"], 'key': row["tag_name"]})
But probably even this is not needed, as depending on what is exactly in your result_set
you could probably:
- provide this directly to a DataFrame:
DataFrame(result_set)
- or use the pandas
read_sql_query
function to do this for you (see docs on this)
How do you create a Distinct query in HQL
It's worth noting that the distinct
keyword in HQL does not map directly to the distinct
keyword in SQL.
If you use the distinct
keyword in HQL, then sometimes Hibernate will use the distinct
SQL keyword, but in some situations it will use a result transformer to produce distinct results. For example when you are using an outer join like this:
select distinct o from Order o left join fetch o.lineItems
It is not possible to filter out duplicates at the SQL level in this case, so Hibernate uses a ResultTransformer
to filter duplicates after the SQL query has been performed.
os.walk without digging into directories below
Use the walklevel
function.
import os
def walklevel(some_dir, level=1):
some_dir = some_dir.rstrip(os.path.sep)
assert os.path.isdir(some_dir)
num_sep = some_dir.count(os.path.sep)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(some_dir):
yield root, dirs, files
num_sep_this = root.count(os.path.sep)
if num_sep + level <= num_sep_this:
del dirs[:]
It works just like os.walk
, but you can pass it a level
parameter that indicates how deep the recursion will go.
Git fetch remote branch
Let's say that your remote is [email protected] and you want its random_branch branch. The process should be as follows:
First check the list of your remotes by
git remote -v
If you don't have the [email protected] remote in the above command's output, you would add it by
git remote add xyz [email protected]
- Now you can fetch the contents of that remote by
git fetch xyz
- Now checkout the branch of that remote by
git checkout -b my_copy_random_branch xyz/random_branch
- Check the branch list by
git branch -a
The local branch my_copy_random_branch would be tracking the random_branch branch of your remote.
Cannot use Server.MapPath
you can try using this
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path);
or use HostingEnvironment.MapPath
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path);
Using jQuery Fancybox or Lightbox to display a contact form
Have a look at: Greybox
It's an awesome version of lightbox that supports forms, external web pages as well as the traditional images and slideshows. It works perfectly from a link on a webpage.
You will find many information on how to use Greybox and also some great examples.

Servlet Mapping using web.xml
It allows servlets to have multiple servlet mappings:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<servlet-path>foo.Servlet</servlet-path>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/enroll</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/pay</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/bill</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
It allows filters to be mapped on the particular servlet:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Filter1</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Servlet1</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
Your proposal would support neither of them. Note that the web.xml
is read and parsed only once during application's startup, not on every HTTP request as you seem to think.
Since Servlet 3.0, there's the @WebServlet
annotation which minimizes this boilerplate:
@WebServlet("/enroll")
public class Servlet1 extends HttpServlet {

How can I trigger an onchange event manually?
MDN suggests that there's a much cleaner way of doing this in modern browsers:
// Assuming we're listening for e.g. a 'change' event on `element`
// Create a new 'change' event
var event = new Event('change');
// Dispatch it.
element.dispatchEvent(event);
Positioning <div> element at center of screen
If you have a fixed div
just absolute position it at 50% from the top and 50% left and negative margin top and left of half the height and width respectively. Adjust to your needs:
div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 500px;
height: 300px;
margin-left: -250px;
margin-top: -150px;
}
Retrieving Property name from lambda expression
I've found that some of the suggested answers which drill down into the MemberExpression
/UnaryExpression
don't capture nested/subproperties.
ex) o => o.Thing1.Thing2
returns Thing1
rather than Thing1.Thing2
.
This distinction is important if you're trying to work with EntityFramework DbSet.Include(...)
.
I've found that just parsing the Expression.ToString()
seems to work fine, and comparatively quickly. I compared it against the UnaryExpression
version, and even getting ToString
off of the Member/UnaryExpression
to see if that was faster, but the difference was negligible. Please correct me if this is a terrible idea.

How to convert a factor to integer\numeric without loss of information?
The most easiest way would be to use unfactor
function from package varhandle which can accept a factor vector or even a dataframe:
unfactor(your_factor_variable)
This example can be a quick start:
x <- rep(c("a", "b", "c"), 20)
y <- rep(c(1, 1, 0), 20)
class(x) # -> "character"
class(y) # -> "numeric"
x <- factor(x)
y <- factor(y)
class(x) # -> "factor"
class(y) # -> "factor"
library(varhandle)
x <- unfactor(x)
y <- unfactor(y)
class(x) # -> "character"
class(y) # -> "numeric"
You can also use it on a dataframe. For example the iris
dataset:
sapply(iris, class)
Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
"numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "factor"
# load the package
library("varhandle")
# pass the iris to unfactor
tmp_iris <- unfactor(iris)
# check the classes of the columns
sapply(tmp_iris, class)
Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
"numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "character"
# check if the last column is correctly converted
tmp_iris$Species

Freeing up a TCP/IP port?
If you really want to kill a process immediately, you send it a KILL signal instead of a TERM signal (the latter a request to stop, the first will take effect immediately without any cleanup). It is easy to do:
kill -KILL <pid>
Be aware however that depending on the program you are stopping, its state may get badly corrupted when doing so. You normally only want to send a KILL signal when normal termination does not work. I'm wondering what the underlying problem is that you try to solve and whether killing is the right solution.
JavaScript Promises - reject vs. throw

Looking for a good Python Tree data structure
Building on the answer given above with the single line Tree using defaultdict, you can make it a class. This will allow you to set up defaults in a constructor and build on it in other ways.
class Tree(defaultdict):
def __call__(self):
return Tree(self)
def __init__(self, parent):
self.parent = parent
self.default_factory = self
This example allows you to make a back reference so that each node can refer to its parent in the tree.
>>> t = Tree(None)
>>> t[0][1][2] = 3
>>> t
defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {0: defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {1: defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {2: 3})})})
>>> t[0][1].parent
defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {1: defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {2: 3})})
>>> t2 = t[0][1]
>>> t2
defaultdict(defaultdict(..., {...}), {2: 3})
>>> t2[2]
3
Next, you could even override __setattr__ on class Tree so that when reassigning the parent, it removes it as a child from that parent. Lots of cool stuff with this pattern.

Prevent cell numbers from incrementing in a formula in Excel
TL:DR
row lock = A$5
column lock = $A5
Both = $A$5
Below are examples of how to use the Excel lock reference $
when creating your formulas
To prevent increments when moving from one row to another put the $ after the column letter and before the row number. e.g. A$5
To prevent increments when moving from one column to another put the $ before the row number. e.g. $A5
To prevent increments when moving from one column to another or from one row to another put the $ before the row number and before the column letter. e.g. $A$5
Using the lock reference will also prevent increments when dragging cells over to duplicate calculations.

What does void* mean and how to use it?
C11 standard (n1570) §6.2.2.3 al1 p55 says :
A pointer to void
may be converted to or from a pointer to any object
type. A pointer to any object type may be converted to a pointer to
void and back again; the result shall compare equal to the original
pointer.
You can use this generic pointer to store a pointer to any object type, but you can't use usual arithmetic operations with it and you can't deference it.
Understanding offsetWidth, clientWidth, scrollWidth and -Height, respectively
I created a more comprehensive and cleaner version that some people might find useful for remembering which name corresponds to which value. I used Chrome Dev Tool's color code and labels are organized symmetrically to pick up analogies faster:
Note 1: clientLeft
also includes the width of the vertical scroll
bar if the direction of the text is set to right-to-left (since the
bar is displayed to the left in that case)
Note 2: the outermost line represents the closest positioned parent
(an element whose position
property is set to a value different than
static
or initial
). Thus, if the direct container isn’t a positioned
element, then the line doesn’t represent the first container in
the hierarchy but another element higher in the hierarchy. If no
positioned parent is found, the browser will take the html
or body
element as reference
Hope somebody finds it useful, just my 2 cents ;)
Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' with pdo
I just tried with PHP 5.2, and that constant seems to exists :
var_dump(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND);
Gives me :
int 1002
But it seems there is a bug in PHP 5.3, that causes this constant to not exists anymore -- or, at least, not when the mysqlnd driver is used (and it's the one that's configured by default)
I suppose a temporary solution, as suggested on this bug report, could be to directly use the integer 1002
value, instead of the contant...
But note that you should go back to using the constant as soon as possible -- as this makes the code easier to understand.
Cannot start MongoDB as a service
I had made few changes in the Config start-up file, which caused this issue. When I looked in the "mongo.log" file, it said
"Cannot start server. Detected data files in E:\Mongo\data\db created by storage engine 'wiredTiger'. The configured storage engine is 'mmapv1'., terminating"
Resetting the storage engine back to 'wiredTiger' resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps others.

#if DEBUG vs. Conditional("DEBUG")
It really depends on what you're going for:
#if DEBUG
: The code in here won't even reach the IL on release.
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
: This code will reach the IL, however calls to the method will be omitted unless DEBUG is set when the caller is compiled.
Personally I use both depending on the situation:
Conditional("DEBUG") Example: I use this so that I don't have to go back and edit my code later during release, but during debugging I want to be sure I didn't make any typos. This function checks that I type a property name correctly when trying to use it in my INotifyPropertyChanged stuff.
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
[DebuggerStepThrough]
protected void VerifyPropertyName(String propertyName)
{
if (TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)[propertyName] == null)
Debug.Fail(String.Format("Invalid property name. Type: {0}, Name: {1}",
GetType(), propertyName));
}
You really don't want to create a function using #if DEBUG
unless you are willing to wrap every call to that function with the same #if DEBUG
:
#if DEBUG
public void DoSomething() { }
#endif
public void Foo()
{
#if DEBUG
DoSomething(); //This works, but looks FUGLY
#endif
}
versus:
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public void DoSomething() { }
public void Foo()
{
DoSomething(); //Code compiles and is cleaner, DoSomething always
//exists, however this is only called during DEBUG.
}
#if DEBUG example: I use this when trying to setup different bindings for WCF communication.
#if DEBUG
public const String ENDPOINT = "Localhost";
#else
public const String ENDPOINT = "BasicHttpBinding";
#endif
In the first example, the code all exists, but is just ignored unless DEBUG is on. In the second example, the const ENDPOINT is set to "Localhost" or "BasicHttpBinding" depending on if DEBUG is set or not.
Update: I am updating this answer to clarify an important and tricky point. If you choose to use the ConditionalAttribute
, keep in mind that calls are omitted during compilation, and not runtime. That is:
MyLibrary.dll
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public void A()
{
Console.WriteLine("A");
B();
}
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public void B()
{
Console.WriteLine("B");
}
When the library is compiled against release mode (i.e. no DEBUG symbol), it will forever have the call to B()
from within A()
omitted, even if a call to A()
is included because DEBUG is defined in the calling assembly.
Python check if list items are integers?
You can use exceptional handling as str.digit
will only work for integers and can fail for something like this too:

False

sqlite database default time value 'now'
It is syntax error because you did not write parenthesis
if you write
Select datetime('now')
then it will give you utc time but if you this write it query then you must add parenthesis before this
so (datetime('now')) for UTC Time.
for local time same
Select datetime('now','localtime')
for query
(datetime('now','localtime'))
Relation between CommonJS, AMD and RequireJS?
CommonJS is more than that - it's a project to define a common API and ecosystem for JavaScript. One part of CommonJS is the Module specification. Node.js and RingoJS are server-side JavaScript runtimes, and yes, both of them implement modules based on the CommonJS Module spec.
AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) is another specification for modules. RequireJS is probably the most popular implementation of AMD. One major difference from CommonJS is that AMD specifies that modules are loaded asynchronously - that means modules are loaded in parallel, as opposed to blocking the execution by waiting for a load to finish.
AMD is generally more used in client-side (in-browser) JavaScript development due to this, and CommonJS Modules are generally used server-side. However, you can use either module spec in either environment - for example, RequireJS offers directions for running in Node.js and browserify is a CommonJS Module implementation that can run in the browser.
How do I migrate an SVN repository with history to a new Git repository?
For GitLab users I've put up a gist on how I migrated from SVN here:
https://gist.github.com/leftclickben/322b7a3042cbe97ed2af
Steps to migrate from SVN to GitLab
Setup
- SVN is hosted at
svn.domain.com.au
.
- SVN is accessible via
http
(other protocols should work).
- GitLab is hosted at
git.domain.com.au
and:
- A group is created with the namespace
dev-team
.
- At least one user account is created, added to the group, and has an SSH key for the account being used for the migration (test using
ssh [email protected]
).
- The project
favourite-project
is created in the dev-team
namespace.
- The file
users.txt
contains the relevant user details, one user per line, of the form username = First Last <[email protected]>
, where username
is the username given in SVN logs. (See first link in References section for details, in particular answer by user Casey).
Versions
- subversion version 1.6.17 (r1128011)
- git version 1.9.1
- GitLab version 7.2.1 ff1633f
- Ubuntu server 14.04
Commands
bash
git svn clone --stdlayout --no-metadata -A users.txt
http://svn.domain.com.au/svn/repository/favourite-project
cd favourite-project
git remote add gitlab [email protected]:dev-team/favourite-project.git
git push --set-upstream gitlab master
That's it! Reload the project page in GitLab web UI and you will see all commits and files now listed.
Notes
- If there are unknown users, the
git svn clone
command will stop, in which case, update users.txt
, cd favourite-project
and git svn fetch
will continue from where it stopped.
- The standard
trunk
-tags
-branches
layout for SVN repository is required.
- The SVN URL given to the
git svn clone
command stops at the level immediately above trunk/
, tags/
and branches/
.
- The
git svn clone
command produces a lot of output, including some warnings at the top; I ignored the warnings.
Deserializing JSON Object Array with Json.net
Using the accepted answer you have to access each record by using Customers[i].customer
, and you need an extra CustomerJson
class, which is a little annoying. If you don't want to do that, you can use the following:
public class CustomerList
{
[JsonConverter(typeof(MyListConverter))]
public List<Customer> customer { get; set; }
}
Note that I'm using a List<>
, not an Array. Now create the following class:
class MyListConverter : JsonConverter
{
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
var token = JToken.Load(reader);
var list = Activator.CreateInstance(objectType) as System.Collections.IList;
var itemType = objectType.GenericTypeArguments[0];
foreach (var child in token.Values())
{
var childToken = child.Children().First();
var newObject = Activator.CreateInstance(itemType);
serializer.Populate(childToken.CreateReader(), newObject);
list.Add(newObject);
}
return list;
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return objectType.IsGenericType && (objectType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(List<>));
}
public override bool CanWrite => false;
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer) => throw new NotImplementedException();
}
How to use Jquery how to change the aria-expanded="false" part of a dom element (Bootstrap)?
Since the question asked for either jQuery or vanilla JS, here's an answer with vanilla JS.
I've added some CSS to the demo below to change the button's font color to red when its aria-expanded
is set to true
_x000D_
_x000D_
const button = document.querySelector('button');_x000D_
_x000D_
button.addEventListener('click', () => {_x000D_
button.ariaExpanded = !JSON.parse(button.ariaExpanded);_x000D_
})
_x000D_
button[aria-expanded="true"] {_x000D_
color: red;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<button type="button" aria-expanded="false">Click me!</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
Add target="_blank" in CSS
This is actually javascript but related/relevant because .querySelectorAll targets by CSS syntax:
var i_will_target_self = document.querySelectorAll("ul.menu li a#example")
this example uses css to target links in a menu with id = "example"
that creates a variable which is a collection of the elements we want to change, but we still have actually change them by setting the new target ("_blank"):
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
i_will_target_self[i].target = "_blank";
}
That code assumes that there are 5 or less elements. That can be changed easily by changing the phrase "i < 5."

Determine which MySQL configuration file is being used
I found this really useful:
- Find the MySQL process in Services under
Control Panel -> Administration Tools
- Right mouse click and choose
Properties
- Click and select the
Path to executable
and see if it contains the path to the my.ini/my.cfg
What is the App_Data folder used for in Visual Studio?
From the documentation about ASP.NET Web Project Folder Structure in MSDN:
You can keep your Web project's files in any folder structure that is
convenient for your application. To make it easier to work with your
application, ASP.NET reserves certain file and folder names that you
can use for specific types of content.
App_Data contains application data files including .mdf database files, XML files, and other data store files. The App_Data folder is
used by ASP.NET to store an application's local database, such as the
database for maintaining membership and role information. For more information, see Introduction to Membership and Understanding Role Management.
hide div tag on mobile view only?
Well, I think that there are simple solutions than mentioned here on this page! first of all, let's make an example:
You have 1 DIV and want to hide thas DIV on Desktop and show on Mobile (or vice versa). So, let's presume that the DIV position placed in the Head
section and named as header_div
.
The global code in your CSS file
will be: (for the same DIV):
.header_div {
display: none;
}
@media all and (max-width: 768px){
.header_div {
display: block;
}
}
So simple and no need to make 2 div's one for desktop and the other for mobile.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
Update a dataframe in pandas while iterating row by row
You can assign values in the loop using df.set_value:
for i, row in df.iterrows():
ifor_val = something
if <condition>:
ifor_val = something_else
df.set_value(i,'ifor',ifor_val)
If you don't need the row values you could simply iterate over the indices of df, but I kept the original for-loop in case you need the row value for something not shown here.
update
df.set_value() has been deprecated since version 0.21.0
you can use df.at() instead:
for i, row in df.iterrows():
ifor_val = something
if <condition>:
ifor_val = something_else
df.at[i,'ifor'] = ifor_val
Setting Camera Parameters in OpenCV/Python
I had the same problem with openCV on Raspberry Pi... don't know if this can solve your problem, but what worked for me was
import time
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(3,1280)
cap.set(4,1024)
time.sleep(2)
cap.set(15, -8.0)
the time you have to use can be different
Connect to mysql on Amazon EC2 from a remote server
Update: Feb 2017
Here are the COMPLETE STEPS for remote access of MySQL (deployed
on Amazon EC2):-
1. Add MySQL to inbound rules.
Go to security group of your ec2 instance -> edit inbound rules -> add new rule -> choose MySQL/Aurora
and source to Anywhere
.
2. Add bind-address = 0.0.0.0 to my.cnf
In instance console:
sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
this will open vi editor.
in my.cnf file, after [mysqld]
add new line and write this:
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
Save file by entering :wq
(enter)
now restart MySQL:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
3. Create a remote user and grant privileges.
login to MySQL:
mysql -u root -p mysql
(enter password after this)
Now write following commands:
CREATE USER 'jerry'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'jerrypassword';
CREATE USER 'jerry'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'jerrypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to jerry@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'jerrypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to jerry@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'jerrypassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
After this, MySQL dB can be remotely accessed by entering public dns/ip of your instance as MySQL Host Address, username as jerry and password as jerrypassword. (Port is set to default at 3306)
What is difference between sleep() method and yield() method of multi threading?
yield(): yield method is used to pause the execution of currently running process so that other waiting thread with the same priority will get CPU to execute.Threads with lower priority will not be executed on yield. if there is no waiting thread then this thread will start its execution.
join(): join method stops currently executing thread and wait for another to complete on which in calls the join method after that it will resume its own execution.
For detailed explanation, see this link.
How to remove all of the data in a table using Django
You can use the Django-Truncate library to delete all data of a table without destroying the table structure.
Example:
- First, install django-turncate using your terminal/command line:
pip install django-truncate
- Add "django_truncate" to your INSTALLED_APPS in the
settings.py
file:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_truncate',
]
- Use this command in your terminal to delete all data of the table from the app.
python manage.py truncate --apps app_name --models table_name
Way to read first few lines for pandas dataframe
I think you can use the nrows
parameter. From the docs:
nrows : int, default None
Number of rows of file to read. Useful for reading pieces of large files
which seems to work. Using one of the standard large test files (988504479 bytes, 5344499 lines):
In [1]: import pandas as pd
In [2]: time z = pd.read_csv("P00000001-ALL.csv", nrows=20)
CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
Wall time: 0.00 s
In [3]: len(z)
Out[3]: 20
In [4]: time z = pd.read_csv("P00000001-ALL.csv")
CPU times: user 27.63 s, sys: 1.92 s, total: 29.55 s
Wall time: 30.23 s
nodeJs callbacks simple example
we are creating a simple function as
callBackFunction (data, function ( err, response ){
console.log(response)
})
// callbackfunction
function callBackFuntion (data, callback){
//write your logic and return your result as
callback("",result) //if not error
callback(error, "") //if error
}
unique combinations of values in selected columns in pandas data frame and count
Placing @EdChum's very nice answer into a function count_unique_index
.
The unique method only works on pandas series, not on data frames.
The function below reproduces the behavior of the unique function in R:
unique returns a vector, data frame or array like x but with duplicate elements/rows removed.
And adds a count of the occurrences as requested by the OP.
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A':['yes','yes','yes','yes','no','no','yes','yes','yes','no'],
'B':['yes','no','no','no','yes','yes','no','yes','yes','no']})
def count_unique_index(df, by):
return df.groupby(by).size().reset_index().rename(columns={0:'count'})
count_unique_index(df1, ['A','B'])
A B count
0 no no 1
1 no yes 2
2 yes no 4
3 yes yes 3
Difference between Amazon EC2 and AWS Elastic Beanstalk
First off, EC2 and Elastic Compute Cloud are the same thing.
Next, AWS encompasses the range of Web Services that includes EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk. It also includes many others such as S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and all the others.
EC2
EC2 is Amazon's service that allows you to create a server (AWS calls these instances) in the AWS cloud. You pay by the hour and only what you use. You can do whatever you want with this instance as well as launch n
number of instances.
Elastic Beanstalk
Elastic Beanstalk is one layer of abstraction away from the EC2 layer. Elastic Beanstalk will setup an "environment" for you that can contain a number of EC2 instances, an optional database, as well as a few other AWS components such as a Elastic Load Balancer, Auto-Scaling Group, Security Group. Then Elastic Beanstalk will manage these items for you whenever you want to update your software running in AWS. Elastic Beanstalk doesn't add any cost on top of these resources that it creates for you. If you have 10 hours of EC2 usage, then all you pay is 10 compute hours.
Running Wordpress
For running Wordpress, it is whatever you are most comfortable with. You could run it straight on a single EC2 instance, you could use a solution from the AWS Marketplace, or you could use Elastic Beanstalk.
What to pick?
In the case that you want to reduce system operations and just focus on the website, then Elastic Beanstalk would be the best choice for that. Elastic Beanstalk supports a PHP stack (as well as others). You can keep your site in version control and easily deploy to your environment whenever you make changes. It will also setup an Autoscaling group which can spawn up more EC2 instances if traffic is growing.
Here's the first result off of Google when searching for "elastic beanstalk wordpress": https://www.otreva.com/blog/deploying-wordpress-amazon-web-services-aws-ec2-rds-via-elasticbeanstalk/
python-pandas and databases like mysql
I prefer to create queries with SQLAlchemy, and then make a DataFrame from it. SQLAlchemy makes it easier to combine SQL conditions Pythonically if you intend to mix and match things over and over.
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy import Table
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from pandas import DataFrame
import datetime
# We are connecting to an existing service
engine = create_engine('dialect://user:pwd@host:port/db', echo=False)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
Base = declarative_base()
# And we want to query an existing table
tablename = Table('tablename',
Base.metadata,
autoload=True,
autoload_with=engine,
schema='ownername')
# These are the "Where" parameters, but I could as easily
# create joins and limit results
us = tablename.c.country_code.in_(['US','MX'])
dc = tablename.c.locn_name.like('%DC%')
dt = tablename.c.arr_date >= datetime.date.today() # Give me convenience or...
q = session.query(tablename).\
filter(us & dc & dt) # That's where the magic happens!!!
def querydb(query):
"""
Function to execute query and return DataFrame.
"""
df = DataFrame(query.all());
df.columns = [x['name'] for x in query.column_descriptions]
return df
querydb(q)
Angular 4 HttpClient Query Parameters
If you have an object that can be converted to {key: 'stringValue'}
pairs, you can use this shortcut to convert it:
this._Http.get(myUrlString, {params: {...myParamsObject}});
I just love the spread syntax!
Adding Python Path on Windows 7
I know this post is old but I'd like to add that the solutions assume admin privs. If you don't have those you can:
Go to control panel, type path (this is Windows 7 now so that's in the Search box) and click "Edit Environment variables for your account". You'll now see the Environment Variable dialog with "User variables" on the top and "System variables" below.
You can, as a user, click the top "New" button and add:
Variable name: PATH
Variable value: C:\Python27
(no spaces anywhere) and click OK. Once your command prompt is restarted, any PATH in the User variables is appended to the end of the System Path. It doesn't replace the PATH in any other way.
If you want a specific full path set up, you're better off creating a batch file like this little one:
@echo off
PATH C:\User\Me\Programs\mingw\bin;C:\User\Me\Programs;C:\Windows\system32
title Compiler Environment - %Username%@%Computername%
cmd
Call it "compiler.bat" or whatever and double click to start it. Or link to it. Or pin it etc...
Cannot find vcvarsall.bat when running a Python script
If you had installed Visual studio 2015 by the quick install, vcvarsall.bat is not there. But you can go to programm and fonctionalities, and modify the installation in order to install c++ tools, then vcvarsall.bat will be present.
How to get list of dates between two dates in mysql select query

Turning multi-line string into single comma-separated
A solution written in pure Bash:
#!/bin/bash
sometext="something1: +12.0 (some unnecessary trailing data (this must go))
something2: +15.5 (some more unnecessary trailing data)
something4: +9.0 (some other unnecessary data)
something1: +13.5 (blah blah blah)"
a=()
while read -r a1 a2 a3; do
# we can add some code here to check valid values or modify them
a+=("${a2}")
done <<< "${sometext}"
# between parenthesis to modify IFS for the current statement only
(IFS=',' ; printf '%s: %s\n' "Result" "${a[*]}")
Result: +12.0,+15.5,+9.0,+13.5
Converting int to bytes in Python 3
I was curious about performance of various methods for a single int in the range [0, 255]
, so I decided to do some timing tests.
Based on the timings below, and from the general trend I observed from trying many different values and configurations, struct.pack
seems to be the fastest, followed by int.to_bytes
, bytes
, and with str.encode
(unsurprisingly) being the slowest. Note that the results show some more variation than is represented, and int.to_bytes
and bytes
sometimes switched speed ranking during testing, but struct.pack
is clearly the fastest.
Results in CPython 3.7 on Windows:
Testing with 63:
bytes_: 100000 loops, best of 5: 3.3 usec per loop
to_bytes: 100000 loops, best of 5: 2.72 usec per loop
struct_pack: 100000 loops, best of 5: 2.32 usec per loop
chr_encode: 50000 loops, best of 5: 3.66 usec per loop

How to iterate through a DataTable
The above examples are quite helpful. But, if we want to check if a particular row is having a particular value or not. If yes then delete and break and in case of no value found straight throw error. Below code works:
foreach (DataRow row in dtData.Rows)
{
if (row["Column_name"].ToString() == txtBox.Text)
{
// Getting the sequence number from the textbox.
string strName1 = txtRowDeletion.Text;
// Creating the SqlCommand object to access the stored procedure
// used to get the data for the grid.
string strDeleteData = "Sp_name";
SqlCommand cmdDeleteData = new SqlCommand(strDeleteData, conn);
cmdDeleteData.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// Running the query.
conn.Open();
cmdDeleteData.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
GetData();
dtData = (DataTable)Session["GetData"];
BindGrid(dtData);
lblMsgForDeletion.Text = "The row successfully deleted !!" + txtRowDeletion.Text;
txtRowDeletion.Text = "";
break;
}
else
{
lblMsgForDeletion.Text = "The row is not present ";
}
}
Unable to read data from the transport connection : An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
We had a very similar issue whereby a client's website was trying to connect to our Web API service and getting that same message. This started happening completely out of the blue when there had been no code changes or Windows updates on the server where IIS was running.
In our case it turned out that the calling website was using a version of .Net that only supported TLS 1.0 and for some reason the server where our IIS was running stopped appeared to have stopped accepting TLS 1.0 calls. To diagnose that we had to explicitly enable TLS via the registry on the IIS's server and then restart that server. These are the reg keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.0\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.0\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.1\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.1\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.2\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
1.2\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001
If that doesn't do it, you could also experiment with adding the entry for SSL 2.0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 2.0\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 2.0\Server]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
My answer to another question here has this powershell script that we used to add the entries:
NOTE: Enabling old security protocols is not a good idea, the right answer in our case was to get the client website to update it's code to use TLS 1.2, but the registry entries above can help diagnose the issue in the first place.
error running apache after xampp install
I think killing the process which is uses that port is more easy to handle than changing the ports in config files. Here is how to do it in Windows. You can follow same procedure to Linux but different commands.
Run command prompt as Administrator. Then type below command to find out all of processes using the port.
netstat -ano
There will be plenty of processes using various ports. So to get only port we need use findstr
like below (here I use port 80)
netstat -ano | findstr 80
this will gave you result like this
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 7964
Last number is the process ID of the process. so what we have to do is kill the process using PID we can use taskkill
command for that.
taskkill /PID 7964 /F
Run your server again. This time it will be able to run. This can uses for Mysql server too.
How to include Authorization header in cURL POST HTTP Request in PHP?
@jason-mccreary is totally right. Besides I recommend you this code to get more info in case of malfunction:
$rest = curl_exec($crl);
if ($rest === false)
{
// throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
}
curl_close($crl);
print_r($rest);
EDIT 1
To debug you can set CURLOPT_HEADER
to true to check HTTP response with firebug::net or similar.
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
EDIT 2
About Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK
try adding this headers (just to debug, in a production enviroment you should keep these options in true
):
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
How do I compare a value to a backslash?
When you only need to check for equality, you can also simply use the in
operator to do a membership test in a sequence of accepted elements:
if message.value[0] in ('/', '\\'):
do_stuff()
How to URL encode a string in Ruby
I created a gem to make URI encoding stuff cleaner to use in your code. It takes care of binary encoding for you.
Run gem install uri-handler
, then use:
require 'uri-handler'
str = "\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a\xbc\xde\xf1\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a".to_uri
# => "%124Vx%9A%BC%DE%F1%23Eg%89%AB%CD%EF%124Vx%9A"
It adds the URI conversion functionality into the String class. You can also pass it an argument with the optional encoding string you would like to use. By default it sets to encoding 'binary' if the straight UTF-8 encoding fails.
Data at the root level is invalid
For the record:
"Data at the root level is invalid" means that you have attempted to parse something that is not an XML document. It doesn't even start to look like an XML document. It usually means just what you found: you're parsing something like the string "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\officelist.xml".
Using boolean values in C
C has a boolean type: bool (at least for the last 10(!) years)
Include stdbool.h and true/false will work as expected.
CSS: How to change colour of active navigation page menu
The CSS :active
state means the active state of the clicked link - the moment when you clicked on it, but not released the mouse button yet, for example. It doesn't know which page you're on and can't apply any styles to the menu items.
To fix your problem you have to create a class and add it manually to the current page's menu:
a.active { color: #f00 }
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php" class="active">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="two.php">PORTFOLIO</a></li>
<li><a href="three.php">ABOUT</a></li>
<li><a href="four.php">CONTACT</a></li>
<li><a href="five.php">SHOP</a></li>
</ul>
Bootstrap: adding gaps between divs
Starting from Bootstrap v4 you can simply add the following to your div
class attribute: mt-2 (margin top 2)
<div class="mt-2 col-md-12">
This will have a two-point top margin!
</div>
More examples are given in the docs: Bootstrap v4 docs
Angular - ui-router get previous state
I keep track of previous states in $rootScope, so whenever in need I will just call the below line of code.
$state.go($rootScope.previousState);
In App.js:
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function(event, to, toParams, from, fromParams) {
$rootScope.previousState = from.name;
});
How can I show/hide component with JSF?
You can actually accomplish this without JavaScript, using only JSF's rendered
attribute, by enclosing the elements to be shown/hidden in a component that can itself be re-rendered, such as a panelGroup, at least in JSF2. For example, the following JSF code shows or hides one or both of two dropdown lists depending on the value of a third. An AJAX event is used to update the display:
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{workflowProcEditBean.performedBy}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="O" itemLabel="Originator" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="R" itemLabel="Role" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="E" itemLabel="Employee" />
<f:ajax event="change" execute="@this" render="perfbyselection" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:panelGroup id="perfbyselection">
<h:selectOneMenu id="performedbyroleid" value="#{workflowProcEditBean.performedByRoleID}"
rendered="#{workflowProcEditBean.performedBy eq 'R'}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="- Choose One -" itemValue="" />
<f:selectItems value="#{workflowProcEditBean.roles}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:selectOneMenu id="performedbyempid" value="#{workflowProcEditBean.performedByEmpID}"
rendered="#{workflowProcEditBean.performedBy eq 'E'}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="- Choose One -" itemValue="" />
<f:selectItems value="#{workflowProcEditBean.employees}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:panelGroup>
How to redirect to another page using PHP
You could use a function similar to:
function redirect($url) {
ob_start();
header('Location: '.$url);
ob_end_flush();
die();
}
Worth noting, you should always use either ob_flush()
or ob_start()
at the beginning of your header('location: ...');
functions, and you should always follow them with a die()
or exit()
function to prevent further code execution.
Here's a more detailed guide than any of the other answers have mentioned: http://www.exchangecore.com/blog/how-redirect-using-php/
This guide includes reasons for using die()
/ exit()
functions in your redirects, as well as when to use ob_flush()
vs ob_start()
, and some potential errors that the others answers have left out at this point.
adding noise to a signal in python
You can generate a noise array, and add it to your signal
import numpy as np
noise = np.random.normal(0,1,100)
# 0 is the mean of the normal distribution you are choosing from
# 1 is the standard deviation of the normal distribution
# 100 is the number of elements you get in array noise
Making a request to a RESTful API using python
So you want to pass data in body of a GET request, better would be to do it in POST call. You can achieve this by using both Requests.
Raw Request
GET http://ES_search_demo.com/document/record/_search?pretty=true HTTP/1.1
Host: ES_search_demo.com
Content-Length: 183
User-Agent: python-requests/2.9.0
Connection: keep-alive
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"text": {
"record.document": "SOME_JOURNAL"
}
},
{
"text": {
"record.articleTitle": "farmers"
}
}
],
"must_not": [],
"should": []
}
},
"from": 0,
"size": 50,
"sort": [],
"facets": {}
}
Sample call with Requests
import requests
def consumeGETRequestSync():
data = '{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"text": {

}
}
],
"must_not": [],
"should": []
}
},
"from": 0,
"size": 50,
"sort": [],
"facets": {}
}'
url = 'http://ES_search_demo.com/document/record/_search?pretty=true'
headers = {"Accept": "application/json"}
# call get service with headers and params
response = requests.get(url,data = data)
print "code:"+ str(response.status_code)
print "******************"
print "headers:"+ str(response.headers)
print "******************"
print "content:"+ str(response.text)

Removing display of row names from data frame
My answer is intended for comment though but since i havent got enough reputation, i think it will still be relevant as an answer and help some one.
I find datatable
in library DT
robust to handle rownames
, and columnames
Library DT
datatable(df, rownames = FALSE) # no row names
refer to https://rstudio.github.io/DT/ for usage scenarios
window.location.reload with clear cache
I wrote this javascript script and included it in the header (before anything loads). It seems to work. If the page was loaded more than one hour ago or the situation is undefined it will reload everything from server.
The time of one hour = 3600000 milliseconds can be changed in the following line:
if(alter > 3600000)
With regards,
Birke
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function zeit()
{
if(document.cookie)
{
a = document.cookie;
cookiewert = "";
while(a.length > 0)
{
cookiename = a.substring(0,a.indexOf('='));
if(cookiename == "zeitstempel")
{
cookiewert = a.substring(a.indexOf('=')+1,a.indexOf(';'));
break;
}
a = a.substring(a.indexOf(cookiewert)+cookiewert.length+1,a.length);
}
if(cookiewert.length > 0)
{
alter = new Date().getTime() - cookiewert;
if(alter > 3600000)
{
document.cookie = "zeitstempel=" + new Date().getTime() + ";";
location.reload(true);
}
else
{
return;
}
}
else
{
document.cookie = "zeitstempel=" + new Date().getTime() + ";";
location.reload(true);
}
}
else
{
document.cookie = "zeitstempel=" + new Date().getTime() + ";";
location.reload(true);
}
}
zeit();
//]]>
</script>
no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type
You could also simply tell your RestTemplate
to accept all media types:
@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> messageConverters = new ArrayList<>();
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter converter = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
converter.setSupportedMediaTypes(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.ALL));
messageConverters.add(converter);
restTemplate.setMessageConverters(messageConverters);
return restTemplate;
}
How to return the output of stored procedure into a variable in sql server
That depends on the nature of the information you want to return.
If it is a single integer value, you can use the return
statement
create proc myproc
as
begin
return 1
end
go
declare @i int
exec @i = myproc
If you have a non integer value, or a number of scalar values, you can use output parameters
create proc myproc
@a int output,
@b varchar(50) output
as
begin
select @a = 1, @b='hello'
end
go
declare @i int, @j varchar(50)
exec myproc @i output, @j output
If you want to return a dataset, you can use insert exec
create proc myproc
as
begin
select name from sysobjects
end
go
declare @t table (name varchar(100))
insert @t (name)
exec myproc
You can even return a cursor but that's just horrid so I shan't give an example :)
How do you set autocommit in an SQL Server session?
You can turn autocommit ON by setting implicit_transactions OFF:
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS OFF
When the setting is ON, it returns to implicit transaction mode. In implicit transaction mode, every change you make starts a transactions which you have to commit manually.
Maybe an example is clearer. This will write a change to the database:
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON
UPDATE MyTable SET MyField = 1 WHERE MyId = 1
COMMIT TRANSACTION
This will not write a change to the database:
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON
UPDATE MyTable SET MyField = 1 WHERE MyId = 1
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
The following example will update a row, and then complain that there's no transaction to commit:
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS OFF
UPDATE MyTable SET MyField = 1 WHERE MyId = 1
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
Like Mitch Wheat said, autocommit is the default for Sql Server 2000 and up.
What does the C++ standard state the size of int, long type to be?
Nope, there is no standard for type sizes. Standard only requires that:
sizeof(short int) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long int)
The best thing you can do if you want variables of a fixed sizes is to use macros like this:
#ifdef SYSTEM_X
#define WORD int
#else
#define WORD long int
#endif
Then you can use WORD to define your variables. It's not that I like this but it's the most portable way.
How to wait for the 'end' of 'resize' event and only then perform an action?
This is a modification to Dolan's code above, I've added a feature which checks the window size at the start of the resize and compares it to the size at the end of the resize, if size is either bigger or smaller than the margin (eg. 1000) then it reloads.
var rtime = new Date(1, 1, 2000, 12,00,00);
var timeout = false;
var delta = 200;
var windowsize = $window.width();
var windowsizeInitial = $window.width();
$(window).on('resize',function() {
windowsize = $window.width();
rtime = new Date();
if (timeout === false) {
timeout = true;
setTimeout(resizeend, delta);
}
});
function resizeend() {
if (new Date() - rtime < delta) {
setTimeout(resizeend, delta);
return false;
} else {
if (windowsizeInitial > 1000 && windowsize > 1000 ) {
setTimeout(resizeend, delta);
return false;
}
if (windowsizeInitial < 1001 && windowsize < 1001 ) {
setTimeout(resizeend, delta);
return false;
} else {
timeout = false;
location.reload();
}
}
windowsizeInitial = $window.width();
return false;
}
What does 'foo' really mean?
Among my colleagues, the meaning (or perhaps more accurately - the use) of the term "foo" has been to serve as a placeholder to represent an example for a name. Examples include, but not limited to, yourVariableName, yourObjectName, or yourColumnName.
Today, I avoid using "foo" and prefer using this type of named substitution for a couple of reasons.
-
In my earlier days, I originally found the use of "foo" as a placement in any example to represent something as f'd-up to be confusing. I wanted a working example, not something that was foobar.
- Your results may vary, but I always, 100%, everytime, never-failed, got more follow-up questions about the meaning of the actual variable where "foo" was used.
How do we use runOnUiThread in Android?
You have it back-to-front. Your button click results in a call to runOnUiThread()
, but this isn't needed, since the click handler is already running on the UI thread. Then, your code in runOnUiThread()
is launching a new background thread, where you try to do UI operations, which then fail.
Instead, just launch the background thread directly from your click handler. Then, wrap the calls to btn.setText()
inside a call to runOnUiThread()
.
Array to Collection: Optimized code
Arrays.asList(array)
Arrays
uses new ArrayList(array)
. But this is not the java.util.ArrayList
. It's very similar though. Note that this constructor takes the array and places it as the backing array of the list. So it is O(1)
.
In case you already have the list created, Collections.addAll(list, array)
, but that's less efficient.
Update: Thus your Collections.addAll(list, array)
becomes a good option. A wrapper of it is guava's Lists.newArrayList(array)
.

Format a Go string without printing?
I've created go project for string formatting from template (it allow to format strings in C# or Python style, just first version for very simple cases), you could find it here https://github.com/Wissance/stringFormatter
it works in following manner:
func TestStrFormat(t *testing.T) {
strFormatResult, err := Format("Hello i am {0}, my age is {1} and i am waiting for {2}, because i am {0}!",
"Michael Ushakov (Evillord666)", "34", "\"Great Success\"")
assert.Nil(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, "Hello i am Michael Ushakov (Evillord666), my age is 34 and i am waiting for \"Great Success\", because i am Michael Ushakov (Evillord666)!", strFormatResult)
strFormatResult, err = Format("We are wondering if these values would be replaced : {5}, {4}, {0}", "one", "two", "three")
assert.Nil(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, "We are wondering if these values would be replaced : {5}, {4}, one", strFormatResult)
strFormatResult, err = Format("No args ... : {0}, {1}, {2}")
assert.Nil(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, "No args ... : {0}, {1}, {2}", strFormatResult)
}
func TestStrFormatComplex(t *testing.T) {
strFormatResult, err := FormatComplex("Hello {user} what are you doing here {app} ?", map[string]string{"user":"vpupkin", "app":"mn_console"})
assert.Nil(t, err)
assert.Equal(t, "Hello vpupkin what are you doing here mn_console ?", strFormatResult)
}
How can I configure my makefile for debug and release builds?
If by configure release/build, you mean you only need one config per makefile, then it is simply a matter and decoupling CC and CFLAGS:
CFLAGS=-DDEBUG
#CFLAGS=-O2 -DNDEBUG
CC=g++ -g3 -gdwarf2 $(CFLAGS)
Depending on whether you can use gnu makefile, you can use conditional to make this a bit fancier, and control it from the command line:
DEBUG ?= 1
ifeq ($(DEBUG), 1)
CFLAGS =-DDEBUG
else
CFLAGS=-DNDEBUG
endif
.o: .c
$(CC) -c $< -o $@ $(CFLAGS)
and then use:
make DEBUG=0
make DEBUG=1
If you need to control both configurations at the same time, I think it is better to have build directories, and one build directory / config.
Can't find file executable in your configured search path for gnc gcc compiler
For that you need to install binary of GNU GCC compiler, which comes with MinGW package. You can download MinGW( and put it under C:/ ) and later you have to download gnu -c, c++ related Binaries, so select required package and install them(in the MinGW ). Then in the Code::Blocks, go to Setting, Compiler, ToolChain Executable. In that you will find Path, there set C:/MinGW.
Then mentioned error will be vanished.
NoClassDefFoundError - Eclipse and Android
This happens quite very often to me.
Last time that happened I can remembered was caused by switching the Eclipse ADT (Google special edition) to Android Studio, and switching back. I basically tried all methods that I can found on stackoverflow which didn't work for me.
Eventually, I got the app working again (no more NoCalssDeffoundError) by switching my IDE to original Eclipse (Kepler) with ADT.
