How can I make a horizontal ListView in Android?

Gallery is the best solution, i have tried it. I was working on one mail app, in which mails in the inbox where displayed as listview, i wanted an horizontal view, i just converted listview to gallery and everything worked fine as i needed without any errors. For the scroll effect i enabled gesture listener for the gallery. I hope this answer may help u.

SOAP client in .NET - references or examples?

Take a look at "using WCF Services with PHP". It explains the basics of what you need.

As a theory summary:

WCF or Windows Communication Foundation is a technology that allow to define services abstracted from the way - the underlying communication method - they'll be invoked.

The idea is that you define a contract about what the service does and what the service offers and also define another contract about which communication method is used to actually consume the service, be it TCP, HTTP or SOAP.

You have the first part of the article here, explaining how to create a very basic WCF Service.

More resources:

Using WCF with PHP5.

Aslo take a look to NuSOAP. If you now NuSphere this is a toolkit to let you connect from PHP to an WCF service.

What is the difference between XML and XSD?


Take an example

<root>
  <parent>
     <child_one>Y</child_one>
     <child_two>12</child_two>
  </parent>
</root>

and design an xsd for that:

<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="root">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="parent">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="child_one" type="xs:string" />
              <xs:element name="child_two" type="xs:int" />
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>


What isn't possible with XSD: would like to write it first as the list is very small
1) You can't validate a node/attribute using the value of another node/attribute.
2) This is a restriction : An element defined in XSD file must be defined with only one datatype. [in the above example, for <child_two> appearing in another <parent> node, datatype cannot be defined other than int.
3) You can't ignore the validation of elements and attributes, ie, if an element/attribute appears in XML, it must be well-defined in the corresponding XSD. Though usage of <xsd:any> allows it, but it has got its own rules. Abiding which leads to the validation error. I had tried for a similar approach, and certainly wasn't successful, here is the Q&A


what are possible with XSD:
1) You can test the proper hierarchy of the XML nodes. [xsd defines which child should come under which parent, etc, abiding which will be counted as error, in above example, child_two cannot be the immediate child of root, but it is the child of "parent" tag which is in-turn a child of "root" node, there is a hierarchy..]
2) You can define Data type of the values of the nodes. [in above example child_two cannot have any-other data than number]
3) You can also define custom data_types, [example, for node <month>, the possible data can be one of the 12 months.. so you need to define all the 12 months in a new data type writing all the 12 month names as enumeration values .. validation shows error if the input XML contains any-other value than these 12 values .. ]
4) You can put the restriction on the occurrence of the elements, using minOccurs and maxOccurs, the default values are 1 and 1.

.. and many more ...

The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this

If you call a new window UI statement in an existing thread, it throws an error. Instead of that create a new thread inside the main thread and write the window UI statement in the new child thread.

How to store arbitrary data for some HTML tags

I know that you're currently using jQuery, but what if you defined the onclick handler inline. Then you could do:

How to import a module given its name as string?

Note: imp is deprecated since Python 3.4 in favor of importlib

As mentioned the imp module provides you loading functions:

imp.load_source(name, path)
imp.load_compiled(name, path)

I've used these before to perform something similar.

In my case I defined a specific class with defined methods that were required. Once I loaded the module I would check if the class was in the module, and then create an instance of that class, something like this:

import imp
import os

def load_from_file(filepath):
    class_inst = None
    expected_class = 'MyClass'

    mod_name,file_ext = os.path.splitext(os.path.split(filepath)[-1])

    if file_ext.lower() == '.py':
        py_mod = imp.load_source(mod_name, filepath)

    elif file_ext.lower() == '.pyc':
        py_mod = imp.load_compiled(mod_name, filepath)

    if hasattr(py_mod, expected_class):
        class_inst = getattr(py_mod, expected_class)()

    return class_inst

What tool to use to draw file tree diagram

Why could you not just make a file structure on the Windows file system and populate it with your desired names, then use a screen grabber like HyperSnap (or the ubiquitous Alt-PrtScr) to capture a section of the Explorer window.

I did this when 'demoing' an internet application which would have collapsible sections, I just had to create files that looked like my desired entries.

HyperSnap gives JPGs at least (probably others but I've never bothered to investigate).

Or you could screen capture the icons +/- from Explorer and use them within MS Word Draw itself to do your picture, but I've never been able to get MS Word Draw to behave itself properly.

How do I translate an ISO 8601 datetime string into a Python datetime object?

aniso8601 should handle this. It also understands timezones, Python 2 and Python 3, and it has a reasonable coverage of the rest of ISO 8601, should you ever need it.

import aniso8601
aniso8601.parse_datetime('2007-03-04T21:08:12')

How to Use slideDown (or show) function on a table row?

The plug offered by Vinny is really close, but I found and fixed a couple of small issues.

  1. It greedily targeted td elements beyond just the children of the row being hidden. This would have been kind of ok if it had then sought out those children when showing the row. While it got close, they all ended up with "display: none" on them, rendering them hidden.
  2. It didn't target child th elements at all.
  3. For table cells with lots of content (like a nested table with lots of rows), calling slideRow('up'), regardless of the slideSpeed value provided, it'd collapse the view of the row as soon as the padding animation was done. I fixed it so the padding animation doesn't trigger until the slideUp() method on the wrapping is done.

    (function($){
        var sR = {
            defaults: {
                slideSpeed: 400

how does array[100] = {0} set the entire array to 0?

It depends where you put this initialisation.

If the array is static as in

char array[100] = {0};

int main(void)
{
...
}

then it is the compiler that reserves the 100 0 bytes in the data segement of the program. In this case you could have omitted the initialiser.

If your array is auto, then it is another story.

int foo(void)
{
char array[100] = {0};
...
}

In this case at every call of the function foo you will have a hidden memset.

The code above is equivalent to

int foo(void)
{ 
char array[100];

memset(array, 0, sizeof(array));
....
}

and if you omit the initializer your array will contain random data (the data of the stack).

If your local array is declared static like in

int foo(void)
{ 
static char array[100] = {0};
...
}

then it is technically the same case as the first one.

Initializing array of structures

my_data is a struct with name as a field and data[] is arry of structs, you are initializing each index. read following:

5.20 Designated Initializers:

In a structure initializer, specify the name of a field to initialize with .fieldname =' before the element value. For example, given the following structure,

struct point { int x, y; };

the following initialization

struct point p = { .y = yvalue, .x = xvalue };

is equivalent to

struct point p = { xvalue, yvalue };

Another syntax which has the same meaning, obsolete since GCC 2.5, is fieldname:', as shown here:

struct point p = { y: yvalue, x: xvalue };

You can also write:

my_data data[] = {
    { .name = "Peter" },
    { .name = "James" },
    { .name = "John" },
    { .name = "Mike" }
};

as:

my_data data[] = {
    [0] = { .name = "Peter" },
    [1] = { .name = "James" },
    [2] = { .name = "John" },
    [3] = { .name = "Mike" }
}; 

or:

my_data data[] = {
    [0].name = "Peter",
    [1].name = "James",
    [2].name = "John",
    [3].name = "Mike"
}; 

Second and third forms may be convenient as you don't need to write in order for example all of the above example are equivalent to:

my_data data[] = {
    [3].name = "Mike",
    [1].name = "James",
    [0].name = "Peter",
    [2].name = "John"
}; 

If you have multiple fields in your struct (for example, an int age), you can initialize all of them at once using the following:

my_data data[] = {
    [3].name = "Mike",
    [2].age = 40,
    [1].name = "James",
    [3].age = 23,
    [0].name = "Peter",
    [2].name = "John"
};

How to compile C program on command line using MinGW?

I encountered the same error message after unpacking MinGW archives to C:\MinGW and setting the path to environment variable as C:\MinGW\bin;.

When I try to compile I get this error!

gcc: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

I finally figured out that some of the downloaded archives were reported broken while unpaking them to C:\MinGW (yet I ignored this initially). Once I deleted the broken files and re-downloaded the whole archives again from SourceForge, unpacked them to C:\MinGW successfully the error was gone, and the compiler worked fine and output my desired hello.exe.

I ran this:

gcc hello.c -o hello

The result result was this (a blinking underscore):

CSS Classes & SubClasses

Following on from kR105's reply above:

My problem was similar to that of the OP (Original Poster), only occurred outside a table, so the subclasses were not called from within the scope of the parent class (the table), but outside of it, so I had to ADD selectors, as kR105 mentioned.

Here was the problem: I had two boxes (divs), each with the same border-radius (HTML5), padding and margin, but needed to make them different colors. Rather than repeat those 3 parameters for each color class, I wanted a "superclass" to contain border-radius/padding/margin, then just individual "subclasses" to express their differences (double quotes around each as they're not really subclasses - see my later post). Here's how it worked out:

HTML:

<body>
  <div class="box box1"> Hello my color is RED </div>
  <div class="box box2"> Hello my color is BLUE </div>
</body>

CSS:

div.box {border-radius:20px 20px 20px 20px; padding:10px; margin:10px}
div.box1 {border:3px solid red; color:red}
div.box2 {border:3px solid blue; color:blue}

What exactly does numpy.exp() do?

The exponential function is e^x where e is a mathematical constant called Euler's number, approximately 2.718281. This value has a close mathematical relationship with pi and the slope of the curve e^x is equal to its value at every point. np.exp() calculates e^x for each value of x in your input array.

/^(?!PART)/

Edit (by request): Why this pattern works

The (?!...) syntax is a negative lookahead, which I've always found tough to explain. Basically, it means "whatever follows this point must not match the regular expression /PART/." The site I've linked explains this far better than I can, but I'll try to break this down:

^         #Start matching from the beginning of the string.    
(?!PART)  #This position must not be followed by the string "PART".
.         #Matches any character except line breaks (it will include those in single-line mode).
$         #Match all the way until the end of the string.

The ((?!xxx).)* idiom is probably hardest to understand. As we saw, (?!PART) looks at the string ahead and says that whatever comes next can't match the subpattern /PART/. So what we're doing with ((?!xxx).)* is going through the string letter by letter and applying the rule to all of them. Each character can be anything, but if you take that character and the next few characters after it, you'd better not get the word PART.

The ^ and $ anchors are there to demand that the rule be applied to the entire string, from beginning to end. Without those anchors, any piece of the string that didn't begin with PART would be a match. Even PART itself would have matches in it, because (for example) the letter A isn't followed by the exact string PART.

Since we do have ^ and $, if PART were anywhere in the string, one of the characters would match (?=PART). and the overall match would fail. Hope that's clear enough to be helpful.

How does PHP 'foreach' actually work?

NOTE FOR PHP 7

To update on this answer as it has gained some popularity: This answer no longer applies as of PHP 7. As explained in the "Backward incompatible changes", in PHP 7 foreach works on copy of the array, so any changes on the array itself are not reflected on foreach loop. More details at the link.

Explanation (quote from php.net):

The first form loops over the array given by array_expression. On each iteration, the value of the current element is assigned to $value and the internal array pointer is advanced by one (so on the next iteration, you'll be looking at the next element).

So, in your first example you only have one element in the array, and when the pointer is moved the next element does not exist, so after you add new element foreach ends because it already "decided" that it it as the last element.

In your second example, you start with two elements, and foreach loop is not at the last element so it evaluates the array on the next iteration and thus realises that there is new element in the array.

I believe that this is all consequence of On each iteration part of the explanation in the documentation, which probably means that foreach does all logic before it calls the code in {}.

Test case

If you run this:

<?
    $array = Array(
        'foo' => 1,
        'bar' => 2
    );
    foreach($array as $k=>&$v) {
        $array['baz']=3;
        echo $v." ";
    }
    print_r($array);
?>

You will get this output:

1 2 3 Array
(
    [foo] => 1
    [bar] => 2
    [baz] => 3
)

Which means that it accepted the modification and went through it because it was modified "in time". But if you do this:

<?
    $array = Array(
        'foo' => 1,
        'bar' => 2
    );
    foreach($array as $k=>&$v) {
        if ($k=='bar') {
            $array['baz']=3;
        }
        echo $v." ";
    }
    print_r($array);
?>

You will get:

1 2 Array
(
    [foo] => 1
    [bar] => 2
    [baz] => 3
)

Which means that array was modified, but since we modified it when the foreach already was at the last element of the array, it "decided" not to loop anymore, and even though we added new element, we added it "too late" and it was not looped through.

Detailed explanation can be read at How does PHP 'foreach' actually work? which explains the internals behind this behaviour.

Example of waitpid() in use?

Syntax of waitpid():

pid_t waitpid(pid_t pid, int *status, int options);

The value of pid can be:

  • < -1: Wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to the absolute value of pid.
  • -1: Wait for any child process.
  • 0: Wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to that of the calling process.
  • > 0: Wait for the child whose process ID is equal to the value of pid.

The value of options is an OR of zero or more of the following constants:

  • WNOHANG: Return immediately if no child has exited.
  • WUNTRACED: Also return if a child has stopped. Status for traced children which have stopped is provided even if this option is not specified.
  • WCONTINUED: Also return if a stopped child has been resumed by delivery of SIGCONT.

For more help, use man waitpid.

Get all inherited classes of an abstract class

This is such a common problem, especially in GUI applications, that I'm surprised there isn't a BCL class to do this out of the box. Here's how I do it.

public static class ReflectiveEnumerator
{
    static ReflectiveEnumerator() { }

    public static IEnumerable<T> GetEnumerableOfType<T>(params object[] constructorArgs) where T : class, IComparable<T>
    {
        List<T> objects = new List<T>();
        foreach (Type type in 
            Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(T)).GetTypes()
            .Where(myType => myType.IsClass && !myType.IsAbstract && myType.IsSubclassOf(typeof(T))))
        {
            objects.Add((T)Activator.CreateInstance(type, constructorArgs));
        }
        objects.Sort();
        return objects;
    }
}

A few notes:

  • Don't worry about the "cost" of this operation - you're only going to be doing it once (hopefully) and even then it's not as slow as you'd think.
  • You need to use Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(T)) because your base class might be in a different assembly.
  • You need to use the criteria type.IsClass and !type.IsAbstract because it'll throw an exception if you try to instantiate an interface or abstract class.
  • I like forcing the enumerated classes to implement IComparable so that they can be sorted.
  • Your child classes must have identical constructor signatures, otherwise it'll throw an exception. This typically isn't a problem for me.

How to check if running in Cygwin, Mac or Linux?

Here is the bash script I used to detect three different OS type (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows NT)

Pay attention

  • In your bash script, use #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/bin/sh to prevent the problem caused by /bin/sh linked to different default shell in different platforms, or there will be error like unexpected operator, that's what happened on my computer (Ubuntu 64 bits 12.04).
  • Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) do not have expr program unless you install it, so I just use uname.

Design

  1. Use uname to get the system information (-s parameter).
  2. Use expr and substr to deal with the string.
  3. Use if elif fi to do the matching job.
  4. You can add more system support if you want, just follow the uname -s specification.

Implementation

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
    # Do something under Mac OS X platform        
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 5)" == "Linux" ]; then
    # Do something under GNU/Linux platform
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 10)" == "MINGW32_NT" ]; then
    # Do something under 32 bits Windows NT platform
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 10)" == "MINGW64_NT" ]; then
    # Do something under 64 bits Windows NT platform
fi

Testing

  • Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Kernel 3.2.0) tested OK.
  • OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) tested OK.
  • Windows (Windows 7 64 bit) tested OK.

What I learned

  1. Check for both opening and closing quotes.
  2. Check for missing parentheses and braces {}

How do you find the row count for all your tables in Postgres

Simple Two Steps:
(Note : No need to change anything - just copy paste)
1. create function

create function 
cnt_rows(schema text, tablename text) returns integer
as
$body$
declare
  result integer;
  query varchar;
begin
  query := 'SELECT count(1) FROM ' || schema || '.' || tablename;
  execute query into result;
  return result;
end;
$body$
language plpgsql;

2. Run this query to get rows count for all the tables

select sum(cnt_rows) as total_no_of_rows from (select 
  cnt_rows(table_schema, table_name)
from information_schema.tables
where 
  table_schema not in ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') 
  and table_type='BASE TABLE') as subq;

or

To get rows counts tablewise

select
  table_schema,
  table_name, 
  cnt_rows(table_schema, table_name)
from information_schema.tables
where 
  table_schema not in ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') 
  and table_type='BASE TABLE'

What's the correct way to convert bytes to a hex string in Python 3?

New in python 3.8, you can pass a delimiter argument to the hex function, as in this example

>>> value = b'\xf0\xf1\xf2'
>>> value.hex('-')
'f0-f1-f2'
>>> value.hex('_', 2)
'f0_f1f2'
>>> b'UUDDLRLRAB'.hex(' ', -4)
'55554444 4c524c52 4142'

How do I specify a password to 'psql' non-interactively?

This can be done by creating a .pgpass file in the home directory of the (Linux) User. .pgpass file format:

<databaseip>:<port>:<databasename>:<dbusername>:<password>

You can also use wild card * in place of details.

Say I wanted to run tmp.sql without prompting for a password.

With the following code you can in *.sh file

echo "192.168.1.1:*:*:postgres:postgrespwd" > $HOME/.pgpass
echo "` chmod 0600 $HOME/.pgpass `"

echo " ` psql -h 192.168.1.1 -p 5432  -U postgres  postgres  -f tmp.sql `        

I get "Http failure response for (unknown url): 0 Unknown Error" instead of actual error message in Angular

working for me after turn off ads block extension in chrome, this error sometime appear because something that block http in browser

enter image description here

sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory on cited drive

if some directory/folder does not exist but somehow you navigated to that directory in that case you can see this Error,

for example:

  • currently, you are in "mno" directory (path = abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno
  • run "sudo su" and delete mno
  • goto the "ghi" directory and delete "jkl" directory
  • now you are in "ghi" directory (path abc/def/ghi)
  • run "exit"
  • after running the "exit", you will get that Error
  • now you will be in "mno"(path = abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno) folder. that does not exist.

so, Generally this Error will show when Directory doesn't exist.

to fix this, simply run "cd;" or you can move to any other directory which exists.

Difference between pre-increment and post-increment in a loop?

One (++i) is preincrement, one (i++) is postincrement. The difference is in what value is immediately returned from the expression.

// Psuedocode
int i = 0;
print i++; // Prints 0
print i; // Prints 1
int j = 0;
print ++j; // Prints 1
print j; // Prints 1

Edit: Woops, entirely ignored the loop side of things. There's no actual difference in for loops when it's the 'step' portion (for(...; ...; )), but it can come into play in other cases.

How to find if a file contains a given string using Windows command line

I've used a DOS command line to do this. Two lines, actually. The first one to make the "current directory" the folder where the file is - or the root folder of a group of folders where the file can be. The second line does the search.

CD C:\TheFolder
C:\TheFolder>FINDSTR /L /S /I /N /C:"TheString" *.PRG

You can find details about the parameters at this link.

Hope it helps!

Scanning Java annotations at runtime

The Classloader API doesn't have an "enumerate" method, because class loading is an "on-demand" activity -- you usually have thousands of classes in your classpath, only a fraction of which will ever be needed (the rt.jar alone is 48MB nowadays!).

So, even if you could enumerate all classes, this would be very time- and memory-consuming.

The simple approach is to list the concerned classes in a setup file (xml or whatever suits your fancy); if you want to do this automatically, restrict yourself to one JAR or one class directory.

How to send file contents as body entity using cURL

I believe you're looking for the @filename syntax, e.g.:

strip new lines

curl --data "@/path/to/filename" http://...

keep new lines

curl --data-binary "@/path/to/filename" http://...

curl will strip all newlines from the file. If you want to send the file with newlines intact, use --data-binary in place of --data

Convert Iterable to Stream using Java 8 JDK

Another way to do it, with Java 8 and without external libs:

Stream.concat(collectionA.stream(), collectionB.stream())
      .collect(Collectors.toList())

Python initializing a list of lists

The problem is that they're all the same exact list in memory. When you use the [x]*n syntax, what you get is a list of n many x objects, but they're all references to the same object. They're not distinct instances, rather, just n references to the same instance.

To make a list of 3 different lists, do this:

x = [[] for i in range(3)]

This gives you 3 separate instances of [], which is what you want

[[]]*n is similar to

l = []
x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append(l)

While [[] for i in range(3)] is similar to:

x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append([])   # appending a new list!

In [20]: x = [[]] * 4

In [21]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[21]: [164363948, 164363948, 164363948, 164363948] # same id()'s for each list,i.e same object


In [22]: x=[[] for i in range(4)]

In [23]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[23]: [164382060, 164364140, 164363628, 164381292] #different id(), i.e unique objects this time

How can I reverse the order of lines in a file?

How to add target="_blank" to JavaScript window.location?

I have created a function that allows me to obtain this feature:

function redirect_blank(url) {
  var a = document.createElement('a');
  a.target="_blank";
  a.href=url;
  a.click();
}

How do I reverse a commit in git?

Unable to comment on others answers, I'll provide a bit of extra information.

If you want to revert the last commit, you can use git revert head. head refers to the most recent commit in your branch.

The reason you use head~1 when using reset is that you are telling Git to "remove all changes in the commits after" (reset --hard) "the commit one before head" (head~1).

reset is to a commit, revert is on a commit.

As AmpT pointed out, you can also use the commit SHA to identify it, rather than counting how far away from head it is. The SHA can be found in the logs (git log) and a variety of other ways.

You can also always use any other pointers in Git. e.g. a tag or branch. And can also use all of these fun other ways to reference commits https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rev-parse.html#_specifying_revisions

How can I use pointers in Java?

Technically, all Java objects are pointers. All primitive types are values though. There is no way to take manual control of those pointers. Java just internally uses pass-by-reference.

Copy/Paste from Excel to a web page

    }); 

'dispatch' is not a function when argument to mapToDispatchToProps() in Redux

You are just missing the first argument to connect, which is the mapStateToProps method. Excerpt from the Redux todo app:

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
  return {
    todos: getVisibleTodos(state.todos, state.visibilityFilter)
  }
}

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
  return {
    onTodoClick: (id) => {
      dispatch(toggleTodo(id))
    }
  }
}

const VisibleTodoList = connect(
  mapStateToProps,
  mapDispatchToProps
)(TodoList)

Turn off textarea resizing

CSS3 can solve this problem. Unfortunately it's only supported on 60% of used browsers nowadays.

For IE and iOS you can't turn off resizing but you can limit the textarea dimension by setting its width and height.

/* One can also turn on/off specific axis. Defaults to both on. */
textarea { resize:vertical; } /* none|horizontal|vertical|both */

See Demo

How do I apply a style to all children of an element

Instead of the * selector you can use the :not(selector) with the > selector and set something that definitely wont be a child.

Edit: I thought it would be faster but it turns out I was wrong. Disregard.

Example:

.container > :not(marquee){
        color:red;
    }


<div class="container">
    <p></p>
    <span></span>
<div>

Visual Studio Code cannot detect installed git

The only way I could get to work in my Windows 8.1 is the following: Add to system environment variables (not user variables):

c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_YOURVERSION\bin\;c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_YOURVERSION\libexec\git-core\;c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_YOURVERSION\cmd\

This fixed the "it looks like git is not installed on your system" error on my Visual Studio Code.

When should I use git pull --rebase?

I would like to provide a different perspective on what "git pull --rebase" actually means, because it seems to get lost sometimes.

If you've ever used Subversion (or CVS), you may be used to the behavior of "svn update". If you have changes to commit and the commit fails because changes have been made upstream, you "svn update". Subversion proceeds by merging upstream changes with yours, potentially resulting in conflicts.

What Subversion just did, was essentially "pull --rebase". The act of re-formulating your local changes to be relative to the newer version is the "rebasing" part of it. If you had done "svn diff" prior to the failed commit attempt, and compare the resulting diff with the output of "svn diff" afterwards, the difference between the two diffs is what the rebasing operation did.

The major difference between Git and Subversion in this case is that in Subversion, "your" changes only exist as non-committed changes in your working copy, while in Git you have actual commits locally. In other words, in Git you have forked the history; your history and the upstream history has diverged, but you have a common ancestor.

In my opinion, in the normal case of having your local branch simply reflecting the upstream branch and doing continuous development on it, the right thing to do is always "--rebase", because that is what you are semantically actually doing. You and others are hacking away at the intended linear history of a branch. The fact that someone else happened to push slightly prior to your attempted push is irrelevant, and it seems counter-productive for each such accident of timing to result in merges in the history.

If you actually feel the need for something to be a branch for whatever reason, that is a different concern in my opinion. But unless you have a specific and active desire to represent your changes in the form of a merge, the default behavior should, in my opinion, be "git pull --rebase".

Please consider other people that need to observe and understand the history of your project. Do you want the history littered with hundreds of merges all over the place, or do you want only the select few merges that represent real merges of intentional divergent development efforts?

How to change date format in JavaScript

Try -

var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
    "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];

var newDate = new Date(form.startDate.value);
var formattedDate = monthNames[newDate.getMonth()] + ' ' + newDate.getFullYear();

Create a file if it doesn't exist

First let me mention that you probably don't want to create a file object that eventually can be opened for reading OR writing, depending on a non-reproducible condition. You need to know which methods can be used, reading or writing, which depends on what you want to do with the fileobject.

That said, you can do it as That One Random Scrub proposed, using try: ... except:. Actually that is the proposed way, according to the python motto "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission".

But you can also easily test for existence:

import os
# open file for reading
fn = raw_input("Enter file to open: ")
if os.path.exists(fn):
    fh = open(fn, "r")
else:
    fh = open(fn, "w")

Note: use raw_input() instead of input(), because input() will try to execute the entered text. If you accidently want to test for file "import", you'd get a SyntaxError.

Cell Style Alignment on a range

Modifying styles directly in range or cells did not work for me. But the idea to:

  1. create a separate style
  2. apply all the necessary style property values
  3. set the style's name to the Style property of the range

, given in MSDN How to: Programmatically Apply Styles to Ranges in Workbooks did the job.

For example:

var range = worksheet.Range[string.Format("A{0}:C{0}", rowIndex++)];
range.Merge();
range.Value = "some value";

var style = workbook.AddStyle();
style.HorizontalAlignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlHAlign.xlHAlignLeft;

range.Style = style.Name;

How to view the roles and permissions granted to any database user in Azure SQL server instance?

Building on @tmullaney 's answer, you can also left join in the sys.objects view to get insight when explicit permissions have been granted on objects. Make sure to use the LEFT join:

SELECT DISTINCT pr.principal_id, pr.name AS [UserName], pr.type_desc AS [User_or_Role], pr.authentication_type_desc AS [Auth_Type], pe.state_desc,
    pe.permission_name, pe.class_desc, o.[name] AS 'Object' 
    FROM sys.database_principals AS pr 
    JOIN sys.database_permissions AS pe ON pe.grantee_principal_id = pr.principal_id
    LEFT JOIN sys.objects AS o on (o.object_id = pe.major_id)

Selecting multiple columns/fields in MySQL subquery

Yes, you can do this. The knack you need is the concept that there are two ways of getting tables out of the table server. One way is ..

FROM TABLE A

The other way is

FROM (SELECT col as name1, col2 as name2 FROM ...) B

Notice that the select clause and the parentheses around it are a table, a virtual table.

So, using your second code example (I am guessing at the columns you are hoping to retrieve here):

SELECT a.attr, b.id, b.trans, b.lang
FROM attribute a
JOIN (
 SELECT at.id AS id, at.translation AS trans, at.language AS lang, a.attribute
 FROM attributeTranslation at
) b ON (a.id = b.attribute AND b.lang = 1)

Notice that your real table attribute is the first table in this join, and that this virtual table I've called b is the second table.

This technique comes in especially handy when the virtual table is a summary table of some kind. e.g.

SELECT a.attr, b.id, b.trans, b.lang, c.langcount
FROM attribute a
JOIN (
 SELECT at.id AS id, at.translation AS trans, at.language AS lang, at.attribute
 FROM attributeTranslation at
) b ON (a.id = b.attribute AND b.lang = 1)
JOIN (
 SELECT count(*) AS langcount,  at.attribute
 FROM attributeTranslation at
 GROUP BY at.attribute
) c ON (a.id = c.attribute)

See how that goes? You've generated a virtual table c containing two columns, joined it to the other two, used one of the columns for the ON clause, and returned the other as a column in your result set.

How to add a form load event (currently not working)

You got half of the answer! Now that you created the event handler, you need to hook it to the form so that it actually gets called when the form is loading. You can achieve that by doing the following:

 public class ProgramViwer : Form{
  public ProgramViwer()
  {
       InitializeComponent();
       Load += new EventHandler(ProgramViwer_Load);
  }
  private void ProgramViwer_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
       formPanel.Controls.Clear();
       formPanel.Controls.Add(wel);
  }
}

laravel-5 passing variable to JavaScript

One working example for me.

Controller:

public function tableView()
{
    $sites = Site::all();
    return view('main.table', compact('sites'));
}

View:

<script>    
    var sites = {!! json_encode($sites->toArray()) !!};
</script>

To prevent malicious / unintended behaviour, you can use JSON_HEX_TAG as suggested by Jon in the comment that links to this SO answer

<script>    
    var sites = {!! json_encode($sites->toArray(), JSON_HEX_TAG) !!};
</script>

unix - count of columns in file

This is a workaround (for me: I don't use awk very often):

Display the first row of the file containing the data, replace all pipes with newlines and then count the lines:

$ head -1 stores.dat | tr '|' '\n' | wc -l

Strip all non-numeric characters from string in JavaScript

we are in 2017 now you can also use ES2016

var a = 'abc123.8<blah>';
console.log([...a].filter( e => isFinite(e)).join(''));

or

console.log([...'abc123.8<blah>'].filter( e => isFinite(e)).join(''));  

The result is

1238

Left join only selected columns in R with the merge() function

You can do this by subsetting the data you pass into your merge:

merge(x = DF1, y = DF2[ , c("Client", "LO")], by = "Client", all.x=TRUE)

Or you can simply delete the column after your current merge :)

Is there a decorator to simply cache function return values?

I implemented something like this, using pickle for persistance and using sha1 for short almost-certainly-unique IDs. Basically the cache hashed the code of the function and the hist of arguments to get a sha1 then looked for a file with that sha1 in the name. If it existed, it opened it and returned the result; if not, it calls the function and saves the result (optionally only saving if it took a certain amount of time to process).

That said, I'd swear I found an existing module that did this and find myself here trying to find that module... The closest I can find is this, which looks about right: http://chase-seibert.github.io/blog/2011/11/23/pythondjango-disk-based-caching-decorator.html

The only problem I see with that is it wouldn't work well for large inputs since it hashes str(arg), which isn't unique for giant arrays.

It would be nice if there were a unique_hash() protocol that had a class return a secure hash of its contents. I basically manually implemented that for the types I cared about.

Waiting until the task finishes

In Swift 3, there is no need for completion handler when DispatchQueue finishes one task. Furthermore you can achieve your goal in different ways

One way is this:

    var a: Int?

    let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.app.queue")
    queue.sync {

        for  i in 0..<10 {

            print("??" , i)
            a = i
        }
    }

    print("After Queue \(a)")

It will wait until the loop finishes but in this case your main thread will block.

You can also do the same thing like this:

    let myGroup = DispatchGroup()
    myGroup.enter()
    //// Do your task

    myGroup.leave() //// When your task completes
     myGroup.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) {

        ////// do your remaining work
    }

One last thing: If you want to use completionHandler when your task completes using DispatchQueue, you can use DispatchWorkItem.

Here is an example how to use DispatchWorkItem:

let workItem = DispatchWorkItem {
    // Do something
}

let queue = DispatchQueue.global()
queue.async {
    workItem.perform()
}
workItem.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) {
    // Here you can notify you Main thread
}

        //console.log(requiredDate);

        var month   = requiredDate.getMonth()+1;
        var day     = requiredDate.getDate();

        var output = requiredDate.getFullYear() + '/' + ((''+month).length<2 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' + ((''+day).length<2 ? '0' : '') + day;

Codeigniter : calling a method of one controller from other

I agree that the way to do is to redirect to the new controller in usual cases.

I came across a use case where I needed to display the same page to 2 different kind of users (backend user previewing the page of a frontend user) so in my opinion what I needed was genuinely to call the frontend controller from the backend controller.

I solved the problem by making the frontend method static and wrapping it in another method. Hope it helps!

//==========
// Frontend
//==========
function profile()
{
   //Access check

   //Get profile id
   $id = get_user_id();

   return self::_profile($id);
}

static function _profile($id)
{
   $CI = &get_instance();
   //Prepare page
   //Load view
}

//==========
// Backend
//==========
function preview_profile($id)
{
   $this->load->file('controllers/frontend.php', false);

   Frontend::_profile($id);
}

How to bundle an Angular app for production

"Best" depends on the scenario. There are times when you only care about the smallest possible single bundle, but in large apps you may have to consider lazy loading. At some point it becomes impractical to serve the entire app as a single bundle.

In the latter case Webpack is generally the best way since it supports code splitting.

For a single bundle I would consider Rollup, or the Closure compiler if you are feeling brave :-)

I have created samples of all Angular bundlers I've ever used here: http://www.syntaxsuccess.com/viewarticle/angular-production-builds

The code can be found here: https://github.com/thelgevold/angular-2-samples

Pandas create empty DataFrame with only column names

Creating colnames with iterating

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['colname_' + str(i) for i in range(5)])
print(df)

# Empty DataFrame
# Columns: [colname_0, colname_1, colname_2, colname_3, colname_4]
# Index: []

to_html() operations

print(df.to_html())

# <table border="1" class="dataframe">
#   <thead>
#     <tr style="text-align: right;">
#       <th></th>
#       <th>colname_0</th>
#       <th>colname_1</th>
#       <th>colname_2</th>
#       <th>colname_3</th>
#       <th>colname_4</th>
#     </tr>
#   </thead>
#   <tbody>
#   </tbody>
# </table>

this seems working

print(type(df.to_html()))
# <class 'str'>

The problem is caused by

when you create df like this

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=COLUMN_NAMES)

it has 0 rows × n columns, you need to create at least one row index by

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=COLUMN_NAMES, index=[0])

now it has 1 rows × n columns. You are be able to add data. Otherwise its df that only consist colnames object(like a string list).

How to render pdfs using C#

Google has open sourced its excellent PDF rendering engine - PDFium - that it wrote with Foxit Software.

There is a C# nuget package called PdfiumViewer which gives a C# wrapper around PDFium and allows PDFs to be displayed and printed.

I have used it and was very impressed with the quality of the rendering.


PDFium works directly with streams so it doesn't require any data to be written to disk.

This is my example from a WinForms app

    public void LoadPdf(byte[] pdfBytes)
    {
        var stream = new MemoryStream(pdfBytes);
        LoadPdf(stream)
    }

    public void LoadPdf(Stream stream)
    {
        // Create PDF Document
        var pdfDocument = PdfDocument.Load(stream);

        // Load PDF Document into WinForms Control
        pdfRenderer.Load(pdfDocument);
    }

Edit: To get the pdfRenderer control in WinForm: Add the PdfiumViewer NuGet package to the project; open the projects packages folder in Windows Explorer and drag the PdfiumViewer.dll file onto the Toolbox window; A control called PdfRenderer will be available to add:

There are 8 bits in a byte (normally speaking in Windows).

However, if you are dealing with characters, it will depend on the charset/encoding. Unicode character can be 2 or 4 bytes, so that would be 16 or 32 bits, whereas Windows-1252 sometimes incorrectly called ANSI is only 1 bytes so 8 bits.

In Asian version of Windows and some others, the entire system runs in double-byte, so a character is 16 bits.

EDITED

Per Matteo's comment, all contemporary versions of Windows use 16-bits internally per character.

How to call a function after delay in Kotlin?

If you are in a fragment with viewModel scope you can use Kotlin coroutines:

    myViewModel.viewModelScope.launch {
        delay(2000)
        // DoSomething()
    }

PHP strtotime +1 month adding an extra month

It's jumping to March because today is 29th Jan, and adding a month gives 29th Feb, which doesn't exist, so it's moving to the next valid date.

This will happen on the 31st of a lot of months as well, but is obviously more noticable in the case of January to Feburary because Feb is shorter.

If you're not interested in the day of month and just want it to give the next month, you should specify the input date as the first of the current month. This will always give you the correct answer if you add a month.

For the same reason, if you want to always get the last day of the next month, you should start by calculating the first of the month after the one you want, and subtracting a day.

Propagation Delay vs Transmission delay

Because they're measuring different things.

Propagation delay is how long it takes one bit to travel from one end of the "wire" to the other (it's proportional to the length of the wire, crudely).

Transmission delay is how long it takes to get all the bits into the wire in the first place (it's packet_length/data_rate).

MySQL "Or" Condition

Use brackets:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Drinks WHERE email='$Email' AND 
    (date='$Date_Today' 
     OR date='$Date_Yesterday' 
     OR date='$Date_TwoDaysAgo' 
     OR date='$Date_ThreeDaysAgo' 
     OR date='$Date_FourDaysAgo' 
     OR date='$Date_FiveDaysAgo' 
     OR date='$Date_SixDaysAgo' 
     OR date='$Date_SevenDaysAgo'
    )
");

But you should alsos have a look at the IN operator. So you can say ´date IN ('$date1','$date2',...)`

But if you have always a set of consecutive days why don't you do the following for the date part

date <= $Date_Today AND date >= $Date_SevenDaysAgo

Merge/flatten an array of arrays

There is a confusingly hidden method, which constructs a new array without mutating the original one:

var oldArray = [[1],[2,3],[4]];_x000D_
var newArray = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], oldArray);_x000D_
console.log(newArray); // [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

What is the difference between git clone and checkout?

The man page for checkout: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout

The man page for clone: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone

To sum it up, clone is for fetching repositories you don't have, checkout is for switching between branches in a repository you already have.

Note: for those who have a SVN/CVS background and new to Git, the equivalent of git clone in SVN/CVS is checkout. The same wording of different terms is often confusing.

List of special characters for SQL LIKE clause

For SQL Server, from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179859.aspx :

  • % Any string of zero or more characters.

    WHERE title LIKE '%computer%' finds all book titles with the word 'computer' anywhere in the book title.

  • _ Any single character.

    WHERE au_fname LIKE '_ean' finds all four-letter first names that end with ean (Dean, Sean, and so on).

  • [ ] Any single character within the specified range ([a-f]) or set ([abcdef]).

    WHERE au_lname LIKE '[C-P]arsen' finds author last names ending with arsen and starting with any single character between C and P, for example Carsen, Larsen, Karsen, and so on. In range searches, the characters included in the range may vary depending on the sorting rules of the collation.

  • [^] Any single character not within the specified range ([^a-f]) or set ([^abcdef]).

    WHERE au_lname LIKE 'de[^l]%' all author last names starting with de and where the following letter is not l.

Finding square root without using sqrt function?

This a very simple recursive approach.

double mySqrt(double v, double test) {
    if (abs(test * test - v) < 0.0001) {
        return test;
    }

    double highOrLow = v / test;
    return mySqrt(v, (test + highOrLow) / 2.0);
}
double mySqrt(double v) {
    return mySqrt(v, v/2.0);
}

Create Hyperlink in Slack

Recently it became possible (but with an odd workaround).

To do this you must first create text with the desired hyperlink in an editor that supports rich text formatting. This can be an advanced text editor, web browser, email client, web-development IDE, etc.). Then copypaste the text from the editor or rendered HTML from browser (or other). E.g. in the example below I copypasted the head of this StackOverflow page. As you may see, the hyperlink have been copied correctly and is clickable in the message (checked on Mac Desktop, browser, and iOS apps).

Message in Slack

On Mac

I was able to compose the desired link in the native Pages app as shown below. When you are done, copypaste your text into Slack app. This is the probably easiest way on Mac OS.

Link creation in Pages

On Windows

I have a strong suspicion that MS Word will do the same trick, but unfortunately I don't have an installed instance to check.

Universal

Create text in an online editor, such as Google Documents. Use Insert -> Link, modify the text and web URL, then copypaste into Slack.

Can you have multiple $(document).ready(function(){ ... }); sections?

I think the better way to go is to put switch to named functions (Check this overflow for more on that subject). That way you can call them from a single event.

Like so:

function firstFunction() {
    console.log("first");
}

function secondFunction() {
    console.log("second");
}


function thirdFunction() {
    console.log("third");
}

That way you can load them in a single ready function.

jQuery(document).on('ready', function(){
   firstFunction();
   secondFunction();
   thirdFunction();

});

This will output the following to your console.log:

first
second
third

This way you can reuse the functions for other events.

jQuery(window).on('resize',function(){
    secondFunction();
});

Check if string contains \n Java

If the string was constructed in the same program, I would recommend using this:

String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
boolean hasNewline = word.contains(newline);

But if you are specced to use \n, this driver illustrates what to do:

class NewLineTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String hasNewline = "this has a newline\n.";
        String noNewline = "this doesn't";

        System.out.println(hasNewline.contains("\n"));
        System.out.println(hasNewline.contains("\\n"));
        System.out.println(noNewline.contains("\n"));
        System.out.println(noNewline.contains("\\n"));

    }

}

Resulted in

true
false
false
false

In reponse to your comment:

class NewLineTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String word = "test\n.";
        System.out.println(word.length());
        System.out.println(word);
        word = word.replace("\n","\n ");
        System.out.println(word.length());
        System.out.println(word);

    }

}

Results in

How can I clear the terminal in Visual Studio Code?

Use Ctrl+K. This goes clean your console in Visual Studio Code.

Per comments, in later versions of VSCode (1.29 and above) this shortcut is missing / needs to be created manually.

  • Navigate: File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
  • search for workbench.action.terminal.clear
  • If it has no mapping or you wish to change the mapping, continue; otherwise note & use the existing mapping
  • Double click on this entry & you'll be prompted for a key binding. Hold CTRL and tap K. Ctrl + K should now be listed. Press enter to save this mapping
  • Right click the entry and select Change when expression. Type terminalFocus then press enter.
  • That's it. Now, when the terminal is in focus and you press ctrl+k you'll get the behaviour you'd have expected to get from running clear/cls.

NPM global install "cannot find module"

I got this error Error: Cannot find module 'number-is-nan' whereas the module actually exists. It was due to a bad/incomplete Node.js installation.

For Windows , as other answers suggest it, you need a clean Node installation :

  • Uninstall Node.js
  • Delete the two folders npm and npm_cache in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming
  • Restart Windows and install Node.js
  • Run npm initor (npm init --yes for default config)
  • Set the Windows environment variable for NODE_PATH. This path is where your packages are installed. It's probably something likeNODE_PATH = C:\Users\user\node_modules or C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
  • Start a new cmd console and npm should work fine

Note :

Try the last points before reinstalling Node.js, it could save you some time and avoid to re-install all your packages.

Changing every value in a hash in Ruby

If you want the actual strings themselves to mutate in place (possibly and desirably affecting other references to the same string objects):

# Two ways to achieve the same result (any Ruby version)
my_hash.each{ |_,str| str.gsub! /^|$/, '%' }
my_hash.each{ |_,str| str.replace "%#{str}%" }

If you want the hash to change in place, but you don't want to affect the strings (you want it to get new strings):

# Two ways to achieve the same result (any Ruby version)
my_hash.each{ |key,str| my_hash[key] = "%#{str}%" }
my_hash.inject(my_hash){ |h,(k,str)| h[k]="%#{str}%"; h }

If you want a new hash:

# Ruby 1.8.6+
new_hash = Hash[*my_hash.map{|k,str| [k,"%#{str}%"] }.flatten]

# Ruby 1.8.7+
new_hash = Hash[my_hash.map{|k,str| [k,"%#{str}%"] } ]

Nginx Different Domains on Same IP

Your "listen" directives are wrong. See this page: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html.

They should be

server {
    listen      80;
    server_name www.domain1.com;
    root /var/www/domain1;
}

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name www.domain2.com;
    root /var/www/domain2;
}

Note, I have only included the relevant lines. Everything else looked okay but I just deleted it for clarity. To test it you might want to try serving a text file from each server first before actually serving php. That's why I left the 'root' directive in there.

how to create a list of lists

First of all do not use list as a variable name- that is a builtin function.

I'm not super clear of what you're asking (a little more context would help), but maybe this is helpful-

my_list = []
my_list.append(np.genfromtxt('temp.txt', usecols=3, dtype=[('floatname','float')], skip_header=1))
my_list.append(np.genfromtxt('temp2.txt', usecols=3, dtype=[('floatname','float')], skip_header=1))

That will create a list (a type of mutable array in python) called my_list with the output of the np.getfromtext() method in the first 2 indexes.

The first can be referenced with my_list[0] and the second with my_list[1]

Embed Youtube video inside an Android app

How it looks:

enter image description here

Best solution to my case. I need video fit web view size. Use embed youtube link with your video id. Example:

WebView youtubeWebView; //todo find or bind web view
String myVideoYoutubeId = "-bvXmLR3Ozc";

outubeWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                return false;
            }
        });

WebSettings webSettings = youtubeWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);

youtubeWebView.loadUrl("https://www.youtube.com/embed/" + myVideoYoutubeId);

Web view xml code

<WebView
        android:id="@+id/youtube_web_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"/>

How do I check if a property exists on a dynamic anonymous type in c#?

Merging and fixing answers from Serj-TM and user3359453 so that it works with both ExpandoObject and DynamicJsonObject. This works for me.

public static bool HasPropertyExist(dynamic settings, string name)
{
    if (settings is System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject)
        return ((IDictionary<string, object>)settings).ContainsKey(name);

    if (settings is System.Web.Helpers.DynamicJsonObject)
    try
    {
        return settings[name] != null;
    }
    catch (KeyNotFoundException)
    {
        return false;
    }


    return settings.GetType().GetProperty(name) != null;
}

Html ordered list 1.1, 1.2 (Nested counters and scope) not working

After going through other answers I came up with this, just apply class nested-counter-list to root ol tag:

sass code:

ol.nested-counter-list {
  counter-reset: item;

  li {
    display: block;

    &::before {
      content: counters(item, ".") ". ";
      counter-increment: item;
      font-weight: bold;
    }
  }

  ol {
    counter-reset: item;

    & > li {
      display: block;

      &::before {
        content: counters(item, ".") " ";
        counter-increment: item;
        font-weight: bold;
      }
    }
  }
}

css code:

ol.nested-counter-list {
  counter-reset: item;
}
ol.nested-counter-list li {
  display: block;
}
ol.nested-counter-list li::before {
  content: counters(item, ".") ". ";
  counter-increment: item;
  font-weight: bold;
}
ol.nested-counter-list ol {
  counter-reset: item;
}
ol.nested-counter-list ol > li {
  display: block;

  counter-increment: item;
  font-weight: bold;
}

_x000D_
_x000D_
ol.nested-counter-list {
  counter-reset: item;
}

ol.nested-counter-list li {
  display: block;
}

ol.nested-counter-list li::before {
  content: counters(item, ".") ". ";
  counter-increment: item;
  font-weight: bold;
}

ol.nested-counter-list ol {
  counter-reset: item;
}

ol.nested-counter-list ol>li {
  display: block;
}

ol.nested-counter-list ol>li::before {
  content: counters(item, ".") " ";
  counter-increment: item;
  font-weight: bold;
}
_x000D_
<ol class="nested-counter-list">
  <li>one</li>
  <li>two
    <ol>
      <li>two.one</li>
      <li>two.two</li>
      <li>two.three</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>three
    <ol>
      <li>three.one</li>
      <li>three.two
        <ol>
          <li>three.two.one</li>
          <li>three.two.two</li>
        </ol>

    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>four</li>
</ol>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

And if you need trailing . at the end of the nested list's counters use this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
ol.nested-counter-list {
  counter-reset: item;
}

ol.nested-counter-list li {
  display: block;
}

ol.nested-counter-list li::before {
  content: counters(item, ".") ". ";
  counter-increment: item;
  font-weight: bold;
}

ol.nested-counter-list ol {
  counter-reset: item;
}
_x000D_
<ol class="nested-counter-list">
  <li>one</li>
  <li>two
    <ol>
      <li>two.one</li>
      <li>two.two</li>

"git pull" or "git merge" between master and development branches

my rule of thumb is:

rebase for branches with the same name, merge otherwise.

examples for same names would be master, origin/master and otherRemote/master.

if develop exists only in the local repository, and it is always based on a recent origin/master commit, you should call it master, and work there directly. it simplifies your life, and presents things as they actually are: you are directly developing on the master branch.

if develop is shared, it should not be rebased on master, just merged back into it with --no-ff. you are developing on develop. master and develop have different names, because we want them to be different things, and stay separate. do not make them same with rebase.

How to comment out a block of code in Python

In Visual Studio using the Python Tools for Visual Studio, blocks can be commented out by Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C and uncommented by Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U.

package R does not exist

TL;DR, if you get the error "package R does not exist", possible reasons are

  • some error in the XML resource files
    -> fix XML errors
  • the current package is different from the R package (see package attribute in AndroidManifest.xml)
    -> import R class, e.g. import com.example.android.R;
    -> or use the appropriate package in your source, e.g. package com.example.android;
    -> or change the package attribute in AndroidManifest.xml to <manifest xmlns:android="..." package="com.example.android" ...>, if that's appropriate
  • the used R ids are from the system resources
    -> do not import android.R, but prefix the offending ids with android., e.g. android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2
    You may import android.R instead of prefixing the ids of course, but then you cannot import the application R class anymore and must prefix the application ids, e.g. com.example.android.R.id.main_menu.

The R class is generated automatically from the application's resources. It contains the ids for these resources and is contained in the package named in the <manifest> tag in the corresponding AndroidManifest.xml file.

If there are no errors in the resource XML files, the R.java source will be generated in a package subdirectory below gen/ and compiled.


There is another R class located in the android package. This android.R class contains some nested classes, which in turn contain ids and other values for system resources.


To use a class in Java, you must name the class with the whole package, e.g.

java.util.List<Object> list = new java.util.ArrayList<Object>();

or import the class and then use it without package

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();

You can also use a class without naming the package, if both the current class and the used class are in the same package, e.g.

package com.example.android;
public class A {
    /* ... */
}
package com.example.android;
public class B {
    public void useA() {
        A a = new A();
    }
}

Update elements in a JSONObject

Generic way to update the any JSONObjet with new values.

private static void updateJsonValues(JsonObject jsonObj) {
    for (Map.Entry<String, JsonElement> entry : jsonObj.entrySet()) {
        JsonElement element = entry.getValue();
        if (element.isJsonArray()) {
            parseJsonArray(element.getAsJsonArray());
        } else if (element.isJsonObject()) {
            updateJsonValues(element.getAsJsonObject());
        } else if (element.isJsonPrimitive()) {
            jsonObj.addProperty(entry.getKey(), "<provide new value>");
        }

    }
}

private static void parseJsonArray(JsonArray asJsonArray) {
    for (int index = 0; index < asJsonArray.size(); index++) {
        JsonElement element = asJsonArray.get(index);
        if (element.isJsonArray()) {
            parseJsonArray(element.getAsJsonArray());
        } else if (element.isJsonObject()) {
            updateJsonValues(element.getAsJsonObject());
        }

    }
}

How to stop a function

How to suppress "error TS2533: Object is possibly 'null' or 'undefined'"?

In typescript you can do the following to suppress the error:

How to add a line to a multiline TextBox?

Just put a line break into your text.

You don't add lines as a method. Multiline just supports the use of line breaks.

The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments [HTTPClient]

I got the same error, but when i did as below, it resolved the issue.
Instead of writing like this:

List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);

use the below one:

ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command

It was a bit more confusing with the Python instructions once SQL Server 2019 was installed with Python. The actual path I find is as follows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64

Scripts run with an Execute command:

Declare @script nvarchar(max)=N'print(11-2)' execute sp_execute_external_script @language = N'Python', @script = @script

There is additional documentation in reference to SQL 2019's version of Python. There is a statement that recommends PIP be used only from a download of sqlmutils-x.x.x.zip located on git (https://www.github.com/Microsoft/sqlmutils) But there is a caveat. Currently this only works for R and not for Python (Anaconda and consequently pip). Python over SQL works but pip is not yet available. (11/25/2019)

Would be great to get an update when this occurs.

MySQL Workbench not displaying query results

I had the same issue. Using MySQL 6.1 Workbench.

After a while (2 mins), it just crashed. Reported bug, saved files and reopened. It works now.

I guess I would suggest if that happens again, to immediately save the open scripts, close MySQL and restart it.

Resize image in PHP

I created an easy-to-use library for image resizing. It can be found here on Github.

An example of how to use the library:

// Include PHP Image Magician library
require_once('php_image_magician.php');

// Open JPG image
$magicianObj = new imageLib('racecar.jpg');

// Resize to best fit then crop (check out the other options)
$magicianObj -> resizeImage(100, 200, 'crop');

// Save resized image as a PNG (or jpg, bmp, etc)
$magicianObj -> saveImage('racecar_small.png');

Other features, should you need them, are:

  • Quick and easy resize - Resize to landscape, portrait, or auto
  • Easy crop
  • Add text
  • Quality adjustment
  • Watermarking
  • Shadows and reflections
  • Transparency support
  • Read EXIF metadata
  • Borders, Rounded corners, Rotation
  • Filters and effects
  • Image sharpening
  • Image type conversion
  • BMP support

Best Java obfuscator?

I think that Proguard is the best. It is also possible to integrate it with your IDE (for example NetBeans). However, consider that if you obfuscate your code it could be difficult to track problems in your logs..

Image scaling causes poor quality in firefox/internet explorer but not chrome

Seems Chrome downscaling is best but the real question is why use such a massive image on the web if you use show is so massively scaled down? Downloadtimes as seen on the test page above are terrible. Especially for responsive websites a certain amount of scaling makes sense, actually more a scale up than scale down though. But never in such a (sorry pun) scale.

Seems this is more a theoretical problem which Chrome seems to deal with nicely but actually should not happen and actually should not be used in practice IMHO.

How can I throw a general exception in Java?

It really depends on what you want to do with that exception after you catch it. If you need to differentiate your exception then you have to create your custom Exception. Otherwise you could just throw new Exception("message goes here");

Vertical Align text in a Label

None of these worked for me. I am using ASP.Net MVC with Bootstrap. I used the following successfully:

.label-middle {

}

<label id="lblX" class="label-middle" ></label>

This vertically aligned the label with the textbox next to it.

How to use HttpWebRequest (.NET) asynchronously?

Everyone so far has been wrong, because BeginGetResponse() does some work on the current thread. From the documentation:

The BeginGetResponse method requires some synchronous setup tasks to complete (DNS resolution, proxy detection, and TCP socket connection, for example) before this method becomes asynchronous. As a result, this method should never be called on a user interface (UI) thread because it might take considerable time (up to several minutes depending on network settings) to complete the initial synchronous setup tasks before an exception for an error is thrown or the method succeeds.

So to do this right:

void DoWithResponse(HttpWebRequest request, Action<HttpWebResponse> responseAction)
{
    Action wrapperAction = () =>
    {
        request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback((iar) =>
        {
            var response = (HttpWebResponse)((HttpWebRequest)iar.AsyncState).EndGetResponse(iar);
            responseAction(response);
        }), request);
    };
    wrapperAction.BeginInvoke(new AsyncCallback((iar) =>
    {
        var action = (Action)iar.AsyncState;
        action.EndInvoke(iar);
    }), wrapperAction);
}

You can then do what you need to with the response. For example:

HttpWebRequest request;
// init your request...then:
DoWithResponse(request, (response) => {
    var body = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
    Console.Write(body);
});

Python webbrowser.open() to open Chrome browser

One thing I noticed and ran into problems with were the slashes, in Windows you need to have two of them in the path an then this works fine.

webbrowser.get(chrome_path).open("https://github.com/")

This at least works for me

How to find foreign key dependencies in SQL Server?

You can Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE and sys.foreign_key_columns in order to get the foreign key metadata for a table i.e. Constraint name, Reference table and Reference column etc.

Below is the query:

SELECT  CONSTRAINT_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ParentTableName, RefTableName,RefColName FROM 
    (SELECT CONSTRAINT_NAME,COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE WHERE TABLE_NAME = '<tableName>') constraint_details
    INNER JOIN  
    (SELECT ParentTableName, RefTableName,name ,COL_NAME(fc.referenced_object_id,fc.referenced_column_id) RefColName  FROM (SELECT object_name(parent_object_id) ParentTableName,object_name(referenced_object_id) RefTableName,name,OBJECT_ID  FROM sys.foreign_keys WHERE parent_object_id = object_id('<tableName>') ) f 
    INNER JOIN   
    sys.foreign_key_columns AS fc  ON  f.OBJECT_ID = fc.constraint_object_id ) foreign_key_detail 
    on foreign_key_detail.name = constraint_details.CONSTRAINT_NAME

  4. Execute the method change of that instance: c1.change

is it possible to update UIButton title/text programmatically?

I solved the problem just setting the title parameter for UIControlStateNormal, and it automatically works on the other states. The problem seems to be when you set another UIControlState.

Get size of a View in React Native

Basically if you want to set size and make it change then set it to state on layout like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: 'yellow',
  },
  View1: {
    flex: 2,
    margin: 10,
    backgroundColor: 'red',
    elevation: 1,
  },
  View2: {
    position: 'absolute',
    backgroundColor: 'orange',
    zIndex: 3,
    elevation: 3,
  },
  View3: {
    flex: 3,
    backgroundColor: 'green',
    elevation: 2,
  },
  Text: {
    fontSize: 25,
    margin: 20,
    color: 'white',
  },
});

class Example extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      view2LayoutProps: {
        left: 0,
        top: 0,
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
      }
    };
  }

  onLayout(event) {
    const {x, y, height, width} = event.nativeEvent.layout;
    const newHeight = this.state.view2LayoutProps.height + 1;
    const newLayout = {
        height: newHeight ,
        width: width,
        left: x,
        top: y,
      };

    this.setState({ view2LayoutProps: newLayout });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.View1}>
          <Text>{this.state.view2LayoutProps.height}</Text>
        </View>
        <View onLayout={(event) => this.onLayout(event)} 
              style={[styles.View2, this.state.view2LayoutProps]} />
        <View style={styles.View3} />
      </View>
    );
  }

}


AppRegistry.registerComponent(Example);

You can create many more variation of how it should be modified, by using this in another component which has Another view as wrapper and create an onResponderRelease callback, which could pass the touch event location into the state, which could be then passed to child component as property, which could override onLayout updated state, by placing {[styles.View2, this.state.view2LayoutProps, this.props.touchEventTopLeft]} and so on.

Aligning textviews on the left and right edges in Android layout

There are many other ways to accomplish this, I would do something like this.

<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textRight"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:text="YOUR TEXT ON THE RIGHT"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textStyle="italic" />


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textLeft"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:text="YOUR TEXT ON THE LEFT"
        android:textSize="16sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

pip installation /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I had similar issue. Basically pip was looking in a wrong path (old installation path) or python. The following solution worked for me:

  • I checked where the python path is (try which python)
  • I checked the first line on the pip file (/usr/local/bin/pip2.7 and /usr/local/bin/pip). The line should state the correct path to the python path. In my case, didn't. I corrected it and now it works fine.

Visual Studio 2015 installer hangs during install?

The current version of AVG Free antivirus is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

  1. It does not allow Visual Studio to be installed on the computer. It gets stuck at "Creating restore point". Visual Studio installs perfectly when AVG is turned off.

  2. Any code compiled in "Release" mode targeting x86 platform/environment (in project properties) does not compile. It compiles successfully when AVG is turned off.

I posted the issues in AVG support forum but no one responded.

How to check if matching text is found in a string in Lua?

There are 2 options to find matching text; string.match or string.find.

Both of these perform a regex search on the string to find matches.


string.find()

string.find(subject string, pattern string, optional start position, optional plain flag)

Returns the startIndex & endIndex of the substring found.

The plain flag allows for the pattern to be ignored and intead be interpreted as a literal. Rather than (tiger) being interpreted as a regex capture group matching for tiger, it instead looks for (tiger) within a string.

Going the other way, if you want to regex match but still want literal special characters (such as .()[]+- etc.), you can escape them with a percentage; %(tiger%).

You will likely use this in combination with string.sub

Example

str = "This is some text containing the word tiger."
if string.find(str, "tiger") then
  print ("The word tiger was found.")
else
  print ("The word tiger was not found.")
end

string.match()

string.match(s, pattern, optional index)

Returns the capture groups found.

Example

str = "This is some text containing the word tiger."
if string.match(str, "tiger") then
  print ("The word tiger was found.")
else
  print ("The word tiger was not found.")
end

android.app.Application cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

    //registry.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin")
    }

I think this one is far better solution than creating a new class.

How to do a SOAP Web Service call from Java class?

I understand your problem boils down to how to call a SOAP (JAX-WS) web service from Java and get its returning object. In that case, you have two possible approaches:

  1. Generate the Java classes through wsimport and use them; or
  2. Create a SOAP client that:
    1. Serializes the service's parameters to XML;
    2. Calls the web method through HTTP manipulation; and
    3. Parse the returning XML response back into an object.


About the first approach (using wsimport):

I see you already have the services' (entities or other) business classes, and it's a fact that the wsimport generates a whole new set of classes (that are somehow duplicates of the classes you already have).

I'm afraid, though, in this scenario, you can only either:

  • Adapt (edit) the wsimport generated code to make it use your business classes (this is difficult and somehow not worth it - bear in mind everytime the WSDL changes, you'll have to regenerate and readapt the code); or
  • Give up and use the wsimport generated classes. (In this solution, you business code could "use" the generated classes as a service from another architectural layer.)

About the second approach (create your custom SOAP client):

In order to implement the second approach, you'll have to:

  1. Make the call:
    • Use the SAAJ (SOAP with Attachments API for Java) framework (see below, it's shipped with Java SE 1.6 or above) to make the calls; or
    • You can also do it through java.net.HttpUrlconnection (and some java.io handling).
  2. Turn the objects into and back from XML:
    • Use an OXM (Object to XML Mapping) framework such as JAXB to serialize/deserialize the XML from/into objects
    • Or, if you must, manually create/parse the XML (this can be the best solution if the received object is only a little bit differente from the sent one).

Creating a SOAP client using classic java.net.HttpUrlConnection is not that hard (but not that simple either), and you can find in this link a very good starting code.

I recommend you use the SAAJ framework:

SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) is mainly used for dealing directly with SOAP Request/Response messages which happens behind the scenes in any Web Service API. It allows the developers to directly send and receive soap messages instead of using JAX-WS.

See below a working example (run it!) of a SOAP web service call using SAAJ. It calls this web service.

import javax.xml.soap.*;

public class SOAPClientSAAJ {

    // SAAJ - SOAP Client Testing
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        /*
            The example below requests from the Web Service at:
             https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tempconvert.asmx?op=CelsiusToFahrenheit


            To call other WS, change the parameters below, which are:
             - the SOAP Endpoint URL (that is, where the service is responding from)
             - the SOAP Action

            Also change the contents of the method createSoapEnvelope() in this class. It constructs
             the inner part of the SOAP envelope that is actually sent.
         */
        String soapEndpointUrl = "https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tempconvert.asmx";
        String soapAction = "https://www.w3schools.com/xml/CelsiusToFahrenheit";

        callSoapWebService(soapEndpointUrl, soapAction);
    }

    private static void createSoapEnvelope(SOAPMessage soapMessage) throws SOAPException {
        SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();

        String myNamespace = "myNamespace";
        String myNamespaceURI = "https://www.w3schools.com/xml/";

        // SOAP Envelope
        SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
        envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration(myNamespace, myNamespaceURI);

About using JAXB for serializing/deserializing, it is very easy to find information about it. You can start here: http://www.mkyong.com/java/jaxb-hello-world-example/.

JavaScript naming conventions

As Geoff says, what Crockford says is good.

The only exception I follow (and have seen widely used) is to use $varname to indicate a jQuery (or whatever library) object. E.g.

var footer = document.getElementById('footer');

var $footer = $('#footer');

Replace "\\" with "\" in a string in C#

I was having the same problem until I read Jon Skeet's answer about the debugger displaying a single backslash with a double backslash even though the string may have a single backslash. I was not aware of that. So I changed my code from

text2 = text1.Replace(@"\\", @"/");

to

text2 = text1.Replace(@"\", @"/");

and that solved the problem. Note: I'm interfacing and R.Net which uses single forward slashes in path strings.

Python Requests requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

I have had this error when connecting to a RabbitMQ MQTT server via TLS. I'm pretty sure the server is broken but anyway it worked with OpenSSL 1.0.1, but not OpenSSL 1.0.2.

You can check your version in Python using this:

import ssl
ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION

I'm not sure how to downgrade OpenSSL within Python (it seems to be statically linked on Windows at least), other than using an older version of Python.

Android Studio was unable to find a valid Jvm (Related to MAC OS)

[Update]
This is fixed in Android Studio 1.1 https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37015035

In the next version of Android Studio, if no java 6 is found but 7 (or greater) is found then it will use that instead. We still recommend running studio with Java 6 due to improved font rendering, but there is no work around needed if, for example, only java 8 is found.

[End Update]

From Android Studio 1.0 RC3 Notes

As of RC 3, we have a better mechanism for customizing properties for the launchers on all three platforms. You should not edit any files in the IDE installation directory. Instead, you can customize the attributes by creating your own .properties or .vmoptions files in the following directories. (This has been possible on some platforms before, but it required you to copy and change the entire contents of the files. With the latest changes these properties are now additive instead such that you can set just the attributes you care about, and the rest will use the defaults from the IDE installation).

However there is no explanation about what options are.

After searching a little I found this
Adjusting VM Options for Android Studio on Mac
IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.0 Web Help/File IDEA.Properties

However no luck with that.

Fortunately I was able to resolve it on Yosemite using environment variables as said in the 1.0 RC3 Release Notes.

You can also place use environment variables to point to specific override files elsewhere:
STUDIO_VM_OPTIONS, which vmoptions file to use
STUDIO_PROPERTIES, which property file to use
STUDIO_JDK, which JDK to run studio with

This was a little tricky because Android Studio is not a command line application so I had to use a AppleScript command to set the environment variable when login. More info here

This is my launchctl command for the command line.

launchctl setenv STUDIO_JDK /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk

And this my AppleScript (remember to save it as an Application)

do shell script "launchctl setenv STUDIO_JDK /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk"

About launchctl, see here

Can't bind to 'ngIf' since it isn't a known property of 'div'

Instead of [ngIf] you should use *ngIf like this:

<div *ngIf="isAuth" id="sidebar">

Python: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Instead of doing recursion, the parts of the code with checkNextID(ID + 18) and similar could be replaced with ID+=18, and then if you remove all instances of return 0, then it should do the same thing but as a simple loop. You should then put a return 0 at the end and make your variables non-global.

When to use MyISAM and InnoDB?

Read about Storage Engines.

MyISAM:

The MyISAM storage engine in MySQL.

  • Simpler to design and create, thus better for beginners. No worries about the foreign relationships between tables.
  • Faster than InnoDB on the whole as a result of the simpler structure thus much less costs of server resources. -- Mostly no longer true.
  • Full-text indexing. -- InnoDB has it now
  • Especially good for read-intensive (select) tables. -- Mostly no longer true.
  • Disk footprint is 2x-3x less than InnoDB's. -- As of Version 5.7, this is perhaps the only real advantage of MyISAM.

InnoDB:

The InnoDB storage engine in MySQL.

  • Support for transactions (giving you support for the ACID property).
  • Row-level locking. Having a more fine grained locking-mechanism gives you higher concurrency compared to, for instance, MyISAM.
  • Foreign key constraints. Allowing you to let the database ensure the integrity of the state of the database, and the relationships between tables.
  • InnoDB is more resistant to table corruption than MyISAM.
  • Support for large buffer pool for both data and indexes. MyISAM key buffer is only for indexes.
  • MyISAM is stagnant; all future enhancements will be in InnoDB. This was made abundantly clear with the roll out of Version 8.0.

MyISAM Limitations:

  • No foreign keys and cascading deletes/updates
  • No transactional integrity (ACID compliance)
  • No rollback abilities
  • 4,284,867,296 row limit (2^32) -- This is old default. The configurable limit (for many versions) has been 2**56 bytes.
  • Maximum of 64 indexes per table

InnoDB Limitations:

  • No full text indexing (Below-5.6 mysql version)
  • Cannot be compressed for fast, read-only (5.5.14 introduced ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED)
  • You cannot repair an InnoDB table

For brief understanding read below links:

Updating PartialView mvc 4

So, say you have your View with PartialView, which have to be updated by button click:

<div class="target">
    @{ Html.RenderAction("UpdatePoints");}
</div>

<input class="button" value="update" />

There are some ways to do it. For example you may use jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function(){    
        $('.button').on("click", function(){        
            $.post('@Url.Action("PostActionToUpdatePoints", "Home")').always(function(){
                $('.target').load('/Home/UpdatePoints');        
            })        
        });
    });        
</script>

PostActionToUpdatePoints is your Action with [HttpPost] attribute, which you use to update points

If you use logic in your action UpdatePoints() to update points, maybe you forgot to add [HttpPost] attribute to it:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdatePoints()
{    
    ViewBag.points =  _Repository.Points;
    return PartialView("UpdatePoints");
}

How to remove certain characters from a string in C++?

If you have access to a compiler that supports variadic templates, you can use this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

template<char ... CharacterList>
inline bool check_characters(char c) {
    char match_characters[sizeof...(CharacterList)] = { CharacterList... };
    for(int i = 0; i < sizeof...(CharacterList); ++i) {
        if(c == match_characters[i]) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

template<char ... CharacterList>
inline void strip_characters(std::string & str) {
    str.erase(std::remove_if(str.begin(), str.end(), &check_characters<CharacterList...>), str.end());
}

int main()
{
    std::string str("(555) 555-5555");
    strip_characters< '(',')','-' >(str);
    std::cout << str << std::endl;
}

Starting ssh-agent on Windows 10 fails: "unable to start ssh-agent service, error :1058"

I get the same error in Cygwin. I had to install the openssh package in Cygwin Setup.

(The strange thing was that all ssh-* commands were valid, (bash could execute as program) but the openssh package wasn't installed.)

Returning a stream from File.OpenRead()

You need

    str.CopyTo(data);
    data.Position = 0; // reset to beginning
    byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
    data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);  

And since your Test() method is imitating the client it ought to Close() or Dispose() the str Stream. And the memoryStream too, just out of principal.

Can I make a function available in every controller in angular?

You basically have two options, either define it as a service, or place it on your root scope. I would suggest that you make a service out of it to avoid polluting the root scope. You create a service and make it available in your controller like this:

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.1.2/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

    myApp.factory('myService', function() {
        return {
            foo: function() {
                alert("I'm foo!");
            }
        };
    });

    myApp.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', 'myService', function($scope, myService) {
        $scope.callFoo = function() {
            myService.foo();
        }
    }]);
    </script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <button ng-click="callFoo()">Call foo</button>
</body>
</html>

If that's not an option for you, you can add it to the root scope like this:

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.1.2/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

    myApp.run(function($rootScope) {
        $rootScope.globalFoo = function() {
            alert("I'm global foo!");
        };
    });

    myApp.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){

    }]);
    </script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <button ng-click="globalFoo()">Call global foo</button>
</body>
</html>

That way, all of your templates can call globalFoo() without having to pass it to the template from the controller.

How do I find an element position in std::vector?

Something like this, I think. find_if_counted.hpp:

#ifndef FIND_IF_COUNTED_HPP
#define FIND_IF_COUNTED_HPP

#include <algorithm>

namespace find_if_counted_impl
{
    template <typename Func>
    struct func_counter
    {
        explicit func_counter(Func& func, unsigned &count) :
        _func(func),
        _count(count)
        {
        }

        template <typename T>
        bool operator()(const T& t)
        {
            ++_count;

            return _func(t);
        }

    private:
        Func& _func;
        unsigned& _count;
    };
}

// generic find_if_counted,
// returns the index of the found element, otherwise returns find_if_not_found
const size_t find_if_not_found = static_cast<size_t>(-1);

template <typename InputIterator, typename Func>
size_t find_if_counted(InputIterator start, InputIterator finish, Func func)
{
    unsigned count = 0;
    find_if_counted_impl::func_counter<Func> f(func, count);

    InputIterator result = find_if(start, finish, f);

    if (result == finish)
    {
        return find_if_not_found;
    }
    else
    {
        return count - 1;
    }
}

#endif

Example:

#include "find_if_counted.hpp"
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

typedef std::vector<int> container;

int rand_number(void)
{
    return rand()  % 20;
}

bool is_even(int i)
{
    return i % 2 == 0;
}

int main(void)
{
    container vec1(10);
    container vec2(10);

    std::generate(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), rand_number);
    std::generate(vec2.begin(), vec2.end(), rand_number);

    unsigned index = find_if_counted(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), is_even);

    if (index == find_if_not_found)
    {
        std::cout << "vec1 has no even numbers." << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        std::cout << "vec1 had an even number at index: " << index <<
            " vec2's corresponding number is: " << vec2[index] << std::endl;
    }
}

Though I feel like I'm doing something silly... :X Any corrections are welcome, of course.

Get value of c# dynamic property via string

This is the way i ve got the value of a property value of a dinamic:

    public dynamic Post(dynamic value)
    {            
        try
        {
            if (value != null)
            {
                var valorCampos = "";

                foreach (Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JProperty item in value)
                {
                    if (item.Name == "valorCampo")//property name
                        valorCampos = item.Value.ToString();
                }                                           

            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }


    }

How do I fix an "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." error in Visual C# 2010 Express?

Install a Nuget package in Visual Studio Code

Modify your project.json or *.csproj file. Add a dependency entry with the name of the package and the version desired.

JSON example:

{
   "dependencies" : {

     "AutoMapper": "5.2.0"
   }
}

Remove #N/A in vlookup result

To avoid errors in any excel function, use the Error Handling functions that start with IS* in Excel. Embed your function with these error handing functions and avoid the undesirable text in your results. More info in OfficeTricks Page

How do I get the height of a div's full content with jQuery?

Element.scrollHeight is a property, not a function, as noted here. As noted here, the scrollHeight property is only supported after IE8. If you need it to work before that, temporarily set the CSS overflow and height to auto, which will cause the div to take the maximum height it needs. Then get the height, and change the properties back to what they were before.

How to get the request parameters in Symfony 2?

Your options:

  1. Simple:
    • $request->request->get('param') ($_POST['param']) or
    • $request->query->get('param') ($_GET['param'])
  2. Good Symfony forms with all validation, value transormation and form rendering with errors and many other features:
  3. Something in between (see example below)
<?php
/**
 * @Route("/customers", name="customers")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return Response
 */
public function index(Request $request)
{
    $optionsResolver = new OptionsResolver();
    $optionsResolver->setDefaults([
        'email' => '',
        'phone' => '',
    ]);
    $filter = $optionsResolver->resolve($request->query->all());

    /** @var CustomerRepository $customerRepository */
    $customerRepository = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('AppBundle:Customer');

    /** @var Customer[] $customers */
    $customers = $customerRepository->findFilteredCustomers($filter);

    return $this->render(':customers:index.html.twig', [
        'customers' => $customers,
        'filter' => $filter,
    ]);
}

Pass multiple complex objects to a post/put Web API method

Best way to pass multiple complex object to webapi services is by using tuple other than dynamic, json string, custom class.

HttpClient.PostAsJsonAsync("http://Server/WebService/Controller/ServiceMethod?number=" + number + "&name" + name, Tuple.Create(args1, args2, args3, args4));

[HttpPost]
[Route("ServiceMethod")]
[ResponseType(typeof(void))]
public IHttpActionResult ServiceMethod(int number, string name, Tuple<Class1, Class2, Class3, Class4> args)
{
    Class1 c1 = (Class1)args.Item1;
    Class2 c2 = (Class2)args.Item2;
    Class3 c3 = (Class3)args.Item3;
    Class4 c4 = (Class4)args.Item4;
    /* do your actions */
    return Ok();
}

No need to serialize and deserialize passing object while using tuple. If you want to send more than seven complex object create internal tuple object for last tuple argument.

PHP date() with timezone?

I have created this very straightforward function, and it works like a charm:

function ts2time($timestamp,$timezone){ /* input: 1518404518,America/Los_Angeles */            
        $date = new DateTime(date("d F Y H:i:s",$timestamp));
        $date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($timezone));
        $rt=$date->format('M d, Y h:i:s a'); /* output: Feb 11, 2018 7:01:58 pm */
        return $rt;
    }

How can I change the font size using seaborn FacetGrid?

I've made small modifications to @paul-H code, such that you can set the font size for the x/y axes and legend independently. Hope it helps:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
x = np.random.normal(size=37)
y = np.random.lognormal(size=37)

# defaults                                                                                                         
sns.set()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y, marker='s', linestyle='none', label='small')
ax.legend(loc='upper left', fontsize=20,bbox_to_anchor=(0, 1.1))
ax.set_xlabel('X_axi',fontsize=20);
ax.set_ylabel('Y_axis',fontsize=20);

plt.show()

This is the output:
