How to count objects in PowerShell?

@($output).Count does not always produce correct results. I used the ($output | Measure).Count method.

I found this with VMware Get-VmQuestion cmdlet:

$output = Get-VmQuestion -VM vm1
@($output).Count

The answer it gave is one, whereas

$output

produced no output (the correct answer was 0 as produced with the Measure method).

This only seemed to be the case with 0 and 1. Anything above 1 was correct with limited testing.

How to enter ssh password using bash?

Double check if you are not able to use keys.

Otherwise use expect:

How to find all duplicate from a List<string>?

I'm assuming each string in your list contains several words, let me know if that's incorrect.

List<string> list = File.RealAllLines("foobar.txt").ToList();

var words = from line in list
            from word in line.Split(new[] { ' ', ';', ',', '.', ':', '(', ')' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            select word;

var duplicateWords = from w in words
                     group w by w.ToLower() into g
                     where g.Count() > 1
                     select new
                     {
                         Word = g.Key,
                         Count = g.Count()
                     }

Why AVD Manager options are not showing in Android Studio

Fixed by enabling Groovy plugin. Enabling it also enables the "SDK manager" option.

  1. Ctr+Shift+A
  2. Write "Plugins"
  3. Search for "Groovy"
  4. Enable it and restart Android Studio.

Cast received object to a List<object> or IEnumerable<object>

Have to join the fun...

    private void TestBench()
    {
        // An object to test
        string[] stringEnumerable = new string[] { "Easy", "as", "Pi" };

        ObjectListFromUnknown(stringEnumerable);
    }

    private void ObjectListFromUnknown(object o)
    {
        if (typeof(IEnumerable<object>).IsAssignableFrom(o.GetType()))
        {
            List<object> listO = ((IEnumerable<object>)o).ToList();
            // Test it
            foreach (var v in listO)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(v);
            }
        }
    }

How I can get and use the header file <graphics.h> in my C++ program?

There is a modern port for this Turbo C graphics interface, it's called WinBGIM, which emulates BGI graphics under MinGW/GCC.

I haven't it tried but it looks promising. For example initgraph creates a window, and from this point you can draw into that window using the good old functions, at the end closegraph deletes the window. It also has some more advanced extensions (eg. mouse handling and double buffering).

When I first moved from DOS programming to Windows I didn't have internet, and I begged for something simple like this. But at the end I had to learn how to create windows and how to handle events and use device contexts from the offline help of the Windows SDK.

Cross-browser bookmark/add to favorites JavaScript

function bookmark(title, url) {
  if (window.sidebar) { 
    // Firefox
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, '');
  } 
  else if (window.opera && window.print) 
  { 
    // Opera
    var elem = document.createElement('a');
    elem.setAttribute('href', url);
    elem.setAttribute('title', title);
    elem.setAttribute('rel', 'sidebar');
    elem.click(); //this.title=document.title;
  } 
  else if (document.all) 
  { 
    // ie
    window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
  }
}

I used this & works great in IE, FF, Netscape. Chrome, Opera and safari do not support it!

Difference between string and StringBuilder in C#

String

A String instance is immutable, that is, we cannot change it after it was created. If we perform any operation on a String it will return a new instance (creates a new instance in memory) instead of modifying the existing instance value.

StringBuilder

StringBuilder is mutable, that is, if we perform any operation on StringBuilder it will update the existing instance value and it will not create new instance.

Why do I keep getting 'SVN: Working Copy XXXX locked; try performing 'cleanup'?

I've had a lot of issues with SVN before and one thing that has definitely caused me problems is modifying files outside of Eclipse or manually deleting folders (which contains the .svn folders), that has probably given me the most trouble.

edit You should also be careful not to interrupt SVN operations, though sometimes a bug may occur and this could cause the .lock file to not be removed, and hence your error.

C++/CLI Converting from System::String^ to std::string

I found an easy way to get a std::string from a String^ is to use sprintf().

char cStr[50] = { 0 };
String^ clrString = "Hello";
if (clrString->Length < sizeof(cStr))
  sprintf(cStr, "%s", clrString);
std::string stlString(cStr);

No need to call the Marshal functions!

UPDATE Thanks to Eric, I've modified the sample code to check for the size of the input string to prevent buffer overflow.

View the change history of a file using Git versioning

If you're using the git GUI (on Windows) under the Repository menu you can use "Visualize master's History". Highlight a commit in the top pane and a file in the lower right and you'll see the diff for that commit in the lower left.

How do I find out what License has been applied to my SQL Server installation?

This shows the licence type and number of licences:

How do I bind the enter key to a function in tkinter?

Try running the following program. You just have to be sure your window has the focus when you hit Return--to ensure that it does, first click the button a couple of times until you see some output, then without clicking anywhere else hit Return.

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x200")

def func(event):
    print("You hit return.")
root.bind('<Return>', func)

def onclick():
    print("You clicked the button")

button = tk.Button(root, text="click me", command=onclick)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Then you just have tweak things a little when making both the button click and hitting Return call the same function--because the command function needs to be a function that takes no arguments, whereas the bind function needs to be a function that takes one argument(the event object):

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x200")

def func(event):
    print("You hit return.")

def onclick(event=None):
    print("You clicked the button")

root.bind('<Return>', onclick)

button = tk.Button(root, text="click me", command=onclick)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Or, you can just forgo using the button's command argument and instead use bind() to attach the onclick function to the button, which means the function needs to take one argument--just like with Return:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x200")

def func(event):
    print("You hit return.")

def onclick(event):
    print("You clicked the button")

root.bind('<Return>', onclick)

button = tk.Button(root, text="click me")
button.bind('<Button-1>', onclick)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Here it is in a class setting:

import tkinter as tk

class Application(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = tk.Tk()
        self.root.geometry("300x200")

        tk.Frame.__init__(self, self.root)
        self.create_widgets()

    def create_widgets(self):
        self.root.bind('<Return>', self.parse)
        self.grid()

        self.submit = tk.Button(self, text="Submit")
        self.submit.bind('<Button-1>', self.parse)
        self.submit.grid()

    def parse(self, event):
        print("You clicked?")

    def start(self):
        self.root.mainloop()

How to determine if a string is a number with C++?

A solution based on a comment by kbjorklu is:

bool isNumber(const std::string& s)
{
   return !s.empty() && s.find_first_not_of("-.0123456789") == std::string::npos;
}

As with David Rector's answer it is not robust to strings with multiple dots or minus signs, but you can remove those characters to just check for integers.


However, I am partial to a solution, based on Ben Voigt's solution, using strtod in cstdlib to look decimal values, scientific/engineering notation, hexidecimal notation (C++11), or even INF/INFINITY/NAN (C++11) is:

bool isNumberC(const std::string& s)
{
    char* p;
    strtod(s.c_str(), &p);
    return *p == 0;
}

Android check internet connection

You can simply ping an online website like google:

public boolean isConnected() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    String command = "ping -c 1 google.com";
    return Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor() == 0;
}

How to loop and render elements in React-native?

If u want a direct/ quick away, without assing to variables:

{
 urArray.map((prop, key) => {
     console.log(emp);
     return <Picker.Item label={emp.Name} value={emp.id} />;
 })
}

The permissions granted to user ' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)"}

You can also make sure that the Identity in your Application Pool has the right permissions.

  1. Go to IIS Manager

  2. Click Application pools

  3. Identify the application pool of the site you are deploying reports on

  4. Check that the identity is set to some service account or user account that has admin permissions

  5. You can change the identity by stopping the pool, right clicking it, and selecting Advanced Settings...

Under Process Model is the Identity field

Java: Instanceof and Generics

The error message says it all. At runtime, the type is gone, there is no way to check for it.

You could catch it by making a factory for your object like this:

 public static <T> MyObject<T> createMyObject(Class<T> type) {
    return new MyObject<T>(type);
 }

And then in the object's constructor store that type, so variable so that your method could look like this:

        if (arg0 != null && !(this.type.isAssignableFrom(arg0.getClass()))
        {
            return -1;
        }

Can I have an IF block in DOS batch file?

Instead of this goto mess, try using the ampersand & or double ampersand && (conditional to errorlevel 0) as command separators.

I fixed a script snippet with this trick, to summarize, I have three batch files, one which calls the other two after having found which letters the external backup drives have been assigned. I leave the first file on the primary external drive so the calls to its backup routine worked fine, but the calls to the second one required an active drive change. The code below shows how I fixed it:

for %%b in (d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) DO (
if exist "%%b:\Backup.cmd" %%b: & CALL "%%b:\Backup.cmd"
)

When is the finalize() method called in Java?

Having wrestled with finalizer methods lately (in order to dispose connection pools during testing), I have to say that finalizer lacks many things. Using VisualVM to observe as well as using weak references to track the actual interaction I found that following things are true in a Java 8 environment (Oracle JDK, Ubuntu 15):

  • Finalize is not called immediately the Finalizer (GC part) individually owns the reference elusively
  • The default Garbage Collector pools unreachable objects
  • Finalize is called in bulk pointing to an implementation detail that there is a certain phase the garbage collector frees the resources.
  • Calling System.gc() often does not result in objects being finalized more often, it just results in the Finalizer getting aware of an unreachable object more rapidly
  • Creating a thread dump almost always result in triggering the finalizer due to high heap overhead during performing the heap dump or some other internal mechanism
  • Finalization seams to be bound by either memory requirements (free up more memory) or by the list of objects being marked for finalization growing of a certain internal limit. So if you have a lot of objects getting finalized the finalization phase will be triggered more often and earlier when compared with only a few
  • There were circumstances a System.gc() triggered a finalize directly but only if the reference was a local and short living. This might be generation related.

Final Thought

Finalize method is unreliable but can be used for one thing only. You can ensure that an object was closed or disposed before it was garbage collected making it possible to implement a fail safe if objects with a more complex life-cylce involving a end-of-life action are handled correctly. That is the one reason I can think of that makes it worth in order to override it.

How to split one string into multiple variables in bash shell?

If your solution doesn't have to be general, i.e. only needs to work for strings like your example, you could do:

var1=$(echo $STR | cut -f1 -d-)
var2=$(echo $STR | cut -f2 -d-)

I chose cut here because you could simply extend the code for a few more variables...

Auto code completion on Eclipse

You can also set auto completion to open automatically while typing.

Go to Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist and write .abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz in the Auto activation triggers for Java field.

summing two columns in a pandas dataframe

If "budget" has any NaN values but you don't want it to sum to NaN then try:

def fun (b, a):
    if math.isnan(b):
        return a
    else:
        return b + a

f = np.vectorize(fun, otypes=[float])

df['variance'] = f(df['budget'], df_Lp['actual'])

Combining INSERT INTO and WITH/CTE

You need to put the CTE first and then combine the INSERT INTO with your select statement. Also, the "AS" keyword following the CTE's name is not optional:

WITH tab AS (
    bla bla
)
INSERT INTO dbo.prf_BatchItemAdditionalAPartyNos (
BatchID,
AccountNo,
APartyNo,
SourceRowID
)  
SELECT * FROM tab

Please note that the code assumes that the CTE will return exactly four fields and that those fields are matching in order and type with those specified in the INSERT statement. If that is not the case, just replace the "SELECT *" with a specific select of the fields that you require.

As for your question on using a function, I would say "it depends". If you are putting the data in a table just because of performance reasons, and the speed is acceptable when using it through a function, then I'd consider function to be an option. On the other hand, if you need to use the result of the CTE in several different queries, and speed is already an issue, I'd go for a table (either regular, or temp).

WITH common_table_expression (Transact-SQL)

How can I find a specific element in a List<T>?

Use a lambda expression

MyClass result = list.Find(x => x.GetId() == "xy");

Note: C# has a built-in syntax for properties. Instead of writing getter and setter methods (as you might be used to from Java), write

private string _id;
public string Id
{
    get
    {
        return _id;
    }
    set
    {
        _id = value;
    }
}

value is a contextual keyword known only in the set accessor. It represents the value assigned to the property.

Since this pattern is often used, C# provides auto-implemented properties. They are a short version of the code above; however, the backing variable is hidden and not accessible (it is accessible from within the class in VB, however).

public string Id { get; set; }

You can simply use properties as if you were accessing a field:

var obj = new MyClass();
obj.Id = "xy";       // Calls the setter with "xy" assigned to the value parameter.
string id = obj.Id;  // Calls the getter.

Using properties, you would search for items in the list like this

MyClass result = list.Find(x => x.Id == "xy"); 

You can also use auto-implemented properties if you need a read-only property:

public string Id { get; private set; }

This enables you to set the Id within the class but not from outside. If you need to set it in derived classes as well you can also protect the setter

public string Id { get; protected set; }

And finally, you can declare properties as virtual and override them in deriving classes, allowing you to provide different implementations for getters and setters; just as for ordinary virtual methods.


Since C# 6.0 (Visual Studio 2015, Roslyn) you can write getter-only auto-properties with an inline initializer

public string Id { get; } = "A07"; // Evaluated once when object is initialized.

You can also initialize getter-only properties within the constructor instead. Getter-only auto-properties are true read-only properties, unlike auto-implemented properties with a private setter.

This works also with read-write auto-properties:

public string Id { get; set; } = "A07";

Beginning with C# 6.0 you can also write properties as expression-bodied members

public DateTime Yesterday => DateTime.Date.AddDays(-1); // Evaluated at each call.
// Instead of
public DateTime Yesterday { get { return DateTime.Date.AddDays(-1); } }

See: .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn")
         New Language Features in C# 6

Starting with C# 7.0, both, getter and setter, can be written with expression bodies:

public string Name
{
    get => _name;                                // getter
    set => _name = value;                        // setter
}

Note that in this case the setter must be an expression. It cannot be a statement. The example above works, because in C# an assignment can be used as an expression or as a statement. The value of an assignment expression is the assigned value where the assignment itself is a side effect. This allows you to assign a value to more than one variable at once: x = y = z = 0 is equivalent to x = (y = (z = 0)) and has the same effect as the statements x = 0; y = 0; z = 0;.

The next version of the language, C# 9.0, probably available in November 2020, will allow read-only (or better initialize-once) properties that you can initialize in an object initializer. This is currently not possible with getter-only properties.

public string Name { get; init; }

var c = new C { Name = "c-sharp" };

Where is the Docker daemon log?

Using CentOS7, logs are available using the command journalctl -u docker. Answering distinctly, because @sabin's answer might be accurate for older versions of CentOS but was not true for me.

systemd has its own logging system called the journal. The logs for the docker daemon can be viewed using journalctl -u docker

Getting Chrome to accept self-signed localhost certificate

I went down the process of using what bjnord suggested which was: Google Chrome, Mac OS X and Self-Signed SSL Certificates

What is shown in the blog did not work.

However, one of the comments to the blog was gold:

sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain site.crt

You'll need to follow the blog on how to get the cert file, after that you can use the command above and should be good to go.

How do I set GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY for specific repos only?

If you are on a Windows machine and have the Git installed, you can try the below steps:

  1. Go to the folder of Git installation, ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc
  2. Edit the file: gitconfig
  3. Under the [http] section, add the line: sslVerify = false

    [http]
      sslVerify = false

Using Ansible set_fact to create a dictionary from register results

Thank you Phil for your solution; in case someone ever gets in the same situation as me, here is a (more complex) variant:

---
# this is just to avoid a call to |default on each iteration
- set_fact:
    postconf_d: {}

- name: 'get postfix default configuration'
  command: 'postconf -d'
  register: command

# the answer of the command give a list of lines such as:
# "key = value" or "key =" when the value is null
- name: 'set postfix default configuration as fact'
  set_fact:
    postconf_d: >
      {{
        postconf_d |
        combine(
          dict([ item.partition('=')[::2]|map('trim') ])
        )
  with_items: command.stdout_lines

This will give the following output (stripped for the example):

"postconf_d": {
    "alias_database": "hash:/etc/aliases", 
    "alias_maps": "hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases",
    "allow_min_user": "no", 
    "allow_percent_hack": "yes"
}

Going even further, parse the lists in the 'value':

- name: 'set postfix default configuration as fact'
  set_fact:
    postconf_d: >-
      {% set key, val = item.partition('=')[::2]|map('trim') -%}
      {% if ',' in val -%}
        {% set val = val.split(',')|map('trim')|list -%}
      {% endif -%}
      {{ postfix_default_main_cf | combine({key: val}) }}
  with_items: command.stdout_lines
...
"postconf_d": {
    "alias_database": "hash:/etc/aliases", 
    "alias_maps": [
        "hash:/etc/aliases", 
        "nis:mail.aliases"
    ], 
    "allow_min_user": "no", 
    "allow_percent_hack": "yes"
}

A few things to notice:

  • in this case it's needed to "trim" everything (using the >- in YAML and -%} in Jinja), otherwise you'll get an error like:

    FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "|combine expects dictionaries, got u\"  {u'...
    
  • obviously the {% if .. is far from bullet-proof

  • in the postfix case, val.split(',')|map('trim')|list could have been simplified to val.split(', '), but I wanted to point out the fact you will need to |list otherwise you'll get an error like:

    "|combine expects dictionaries, got u\"{u'...': <generator object do_map at ...
    

Hope this can help.

Javascript ES6 export const vs export let

In ES6, imports are live read-only views on exported-values. As a result, when you do import a from "somemodule";, you cannot assign to a no matter how you declare a in the module.

However, since imported variables are live views, they do change according to the "raw" exported variable in exports. Consider the following code (borrowed from the reference article below):

//------ lib.js ------
export let counter = 3;
export function incCounter() {
    counter++;
}

//------ main1.js ------
import { counter, incCounter } from './lib';

// The imported value `counter` is live
console.log(counter); // 3
incCounter();
console.log(counter); // 4

// The imported value can’t be changed
counter++; // TypeError

As you can see, the difference really lies in lib.js, not main1.js.


To summarize:

  • You cannot assign to import-ed variables, no matter how you declare the corresponding variables in the module.
  • The traditional let-vs-const semantics applies to the declared variable in the module.
    • If the variable is declared const, it cannot be reassigned or rebound in anywhere.
    • If the variable is declared let, it can only be reassigned in the module (but not the user). If it is changed, the import-ed variable changes accordingly.

Deserialize JSON string to c# object

I think the JavaScriptSerializer does not create a dynamic object.

So you should define the class first:

class MyObj {
    public int arg1 {get;set;}
    public int arg2 {get;set;}
}

And deserialize that instead of object:

serializer.Deserialize<MyObj>(str);

How to get the file path from URI?

Here is the answer to the question here

Actually we have to get it from the sharable ContentProvider of Camera Application.

EDIT . Copying answer that worked for me

private String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) {
String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
CursorLoader loader = new CursorLoader(mContext, contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
Cursor cursor = loader.loadInBackground();
int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
String result = cursor.getString(column_index);
cursor.close();
return result;

}

Not able to start Genymotion device

Try downgrading to Virtual Box 4.2.18, if you are using 4.3.X.

I had a similar situation to yours.

I was using Genymotion 1.3.0 on Win7, with latest Virtual Box 4.3.2. Genymotion broke down after a computer shutdown, and never worked again.

I kinda stumbled onto this solution. After downgrading, Genymotion survived one shutdown now.

P.S. Changing network/resources settings in Virtual Box didn't help me, so I'm putting this up and hope it helps.

Java difference between FileWriter and BufferedWriter

BufferedWriter is more efficient if you

  • have multiple writes between flush/close
  • the writes are small compared with the buffer size.

In your example, you have only one write, so the BufferedWriter just add overhead you don't need.

so does that mean the first example writes the characters one by one and the second first buffers it to the memory and writes it once

In both cases, the string is written at once.

If you use just FileWriter your write(String) calls

 public void write(String str, int off, int len) 
        // some code
        str.getChars(off, (off + len), cbuf, 0);
        write(cbuf, 0, len);
 }

This makes one system call, per call to write(String).


Where BufferedWriter improves efficiency is in multiple small writes.

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    writer.write("foorbar");
    writer.write(NEW_LINE);
}
writer.close();

Without a BufferedWriter this could make 200 (2 * 100) system calls and writes to disk which is inefficient. With a BufferedWriter, these can all be buffered together and as the default buffer size is 8192 characters this become just 1 system call to write.

Replace multiple strings at once

text = text.replace(/</g, '&lt;').replace(/>/g, '&gt;').replace(/\n/g, '<br/>');

How to use glob() to find files recursively?

Starting with Python 3.4, one can use the glob() method of one of the Path classes in the new pathlib module, which supports ** wildcards. For example:

from pathlib import Path

for file_path in Path('src').glob('**/*.c'):
    print(file_path) # do whatever you need with these files

Update: Starting with Python 3.5, the same syntax is also supported by glob.glob().

JSLint is suddenly reporting: Use the function form of "use strict"

Add a file .jslintrc (or .jshintrc in the case of jshint) at the root of your project with the following content:

{
    "node": true
}

Checking for empty result (php, pdo, mysql)

One more approach to consider:

When I build an HTML table or other database-dependent content (usually via an AJAX call), I like to check if the SELECT query returned any data before working on any markup. If there is no data, I simply return "No data found..." or something to that effect. If there is data, then go forward, build the headers and loop through the content, etc. Even though I will likely limit my database to MySQL, I prefer to write portable code, so rowCount() is out. Instead, check the the column count. A query that returns no rows also returns no columns.

$stmt->execute();
$cols = $stmt->columnCount(); // no columns == no result set
if ($cols > 0) {
    // non-repetitive markup code here
    while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {

Join two data frames, select all columns from one and some columns from the other

Here is the code snippet that does the inner join and select the columns from both dataframe and alias the same column to different column name.

emp_df  = spark.read.csv('Employees.csv', header =True);
dept_df = spark.read.csv('dept.csv', header =True)


emp_dept_df = emp_df.join(dept_df,'DeptID').select(emp_df['*'], dept_df['Name'].alias('DName'))
emp_df.show()
dept_df.show()
emp_dept_df.show()
Output  for 'emp_df.show()':

Consider defining a bean of type 'service' in your configuration [Spring boot]

Since TopicService is a Service class, you should annotate it with @Service, so that Spring autowires this bean for you. Like so:

@Service
public class TopicServiceImplementation implements TopicService {
    ...
}

This will solve your problem.

Proper way to use AJAX Post in jquery to pass model from strongly typed MVC3 view

You can skip the var declaration and the stringify. Otherwise, that will work just fine.

$.ajax({
    url: '/home/check',
    type: 'POST',
    data: {
        Address1: "423 Judy Road",
        Address2: "1001",
        City: "New York",
        State: "NY",
        ZipCode: "10301",
        Country: "USA"
    },
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data.success);
    },
    error: function () {
        alert("error");
    }
});

Disabling the long-running-script message in Internet Explorer

I can't comment on the previous answers since I haven't tried them. However I know the following strategy works for me. It is a bit less elegant but gets the job done. It also doesn't require breaking code into chunks like some other approaches seem to do. In my case, that was not an option, because my code had recursive calls to the logic that was being looped; i.e., there was no practical way to just hop out of the loop, then be able to resume in some way by using global vars to preserve current state since those globals could be changed by references to them in a subsequent recursed call. So I needed a straight-forward way that would not offer a chance for the code to compromise the data state integrity.

Assuming the "stop script?" dialog is coming up during a for() loop executuion after a number of iterations (in my case, about 8-10), and messing with the registry is no option, here was the fix (for me, anyway):

var anarray = [];
var array_member = null;
var counter = 0; // Could also be initialized to the max desired value you want, if
                 // planning on counting downward.

function func_a()
{
 // some code
 // optionally, set 'counter' to some desired value.
 ...
 anarray = { populate array with objects to be processed that would have been
             processed by a for() }
 // 'anarry' is going to be reduced in size iteratively.  Therefore, if you need
 //  to maintain an orig. copy of it, create one, something like 'anarraycopy'.
 //  If you need only a shallow copy, use 'anarraycopy = anarray.slice(0);'
 //  A deep copy, depending on what kind of objects you have in the array, may be
 //  necessary.  The strategy for a deep copy will vary and is not discussed here.
 //  If you need merely to record the array's orig. size, set a local or
 //  global var equal to 'anarray.length;', depending on your needs.
 // - or -
 // plan to use 'counter' as if it was 'i' in a for(), as in
 // for(i=0; i < x; i++ {...}

   ...

   // Using 50 for example only.  Could be 100, etc. Good practice is to pick something
   // other than 0 due to Javascript engine processing; a 0 value is all but useless
   // since it takes time for Javascript to do anything. 50 seems to be good value to
   // use. It could be though that what value to use does  depend on how much time it
   // takes the code in func_c() to execute, so some profiling and knowing what the 
   // most likely deployed user base is going to be using might help. At the same 
   // time, this may make no difference.  Not entirely sure myself.  Also, 
   // using "'func_b()'" instead of just "func_b()" is critical.  I've found that the
   // callback will not occur unless you have the function in single-quotes.

   setTimeout('func_b()', 50);

  //  No more code after this.  function func_a() is now done.  It's important not to
  //  put any more code in after this point since setTimeout() does not act like
  //  Thread.sleep() in Java.  Processing just continues, and that is the problem
  //  you're trying to get around.

} // func_a()


function func_b()
{
 if( anarray.length == 0 )
 {
   // possibly do something here, relevant to your purposes
   return;
 }
//  -or- 
if( counter == x ) // 'x' is some value you want to go to.  It'll likely either
                   // be 0 (when counting down) or the max desired value you
                   // have for x if counting upward.
{
  // possibly do something here, relevant to your purposes
  return;
}

array_member = anarray[0];
anarray.splice(0,1); // Reduces 'anarray' by one member, the one at anarray[0].
                     // The one that was at anarray[1] is now at
                     // anarray[0] so will be used at the next iteration of func_b().

func_c();

setTimeout('func_b()', 50);

} // func_b()


function func_c()
{
  counter++; // If not using 'anarray'.  Possibly you would use
             // 'counter--' if you set 'counter' to the highest value
             // desired and are working your way backwards.

  // Here is where you have the code that would have been executed
  // in the for() loop.  Breaking out of it or doing a 'continue'
  // equivalent can be done with using 'return;' or canceling 
  // processing entirely can be done by setting a global var
  // to indicate the process is cancelled, then doing a 'return;', as in
  // 'bCancelOut = true; return;'.  Then in func_b() you would be evaluating
  // bCancelOut at the top to see if it was true.  If so, you'd just exit from
  // func_b() with a 'return;'

} // func_c()

What is the syntax of the enhanced for loop in Java?

Enhanced for loop:

for (String element : array) {

    // rest of code handling current element
}

Traditional for loop equivalent:

for (int i=0; i < array.length; i++) {
    String element = array[i]; 

    // rest of code handling current element
}

Moving average or running mean

Instead of numpy or scipy, I would recommend pandas to do this more swiftly:

df['data'].rolling(3).mean()

This takes the moving average (MA) of 3 periods of the column "data". You can also calculate the shifted versions, for example the one that excludes the current cell (shifted one back) can be calculated easily as:

df['data'].shift(periods=1).rolling(3).mean()

How is a tag different from a branch in Git? Which should I use, here?

From the theoretical point of view:

  • tags are symbolic names for a given revision. They always point to the same object (usually: to the same revision); they do not change.
  • branches are symbolic names for line of development. New commits are created on top of branch. The branch pointer naturally advances, pointing to newer and newer commits.

From the technical point of view:

  • tags reside in refs/tags/ namespace, and can point to tag objects (annotated and optionally GPG signed tags) or directly to commit object (less used lightweight tag for local names), or in very rare cases even to tree object or blob object (e.g. GPG signature).
  • branches reside in refs/heads/ namespace, and can point only to commit objects. The HEAD pointer must refer to a branch (symbolic reference) or directly to a commit (detached HEAD or unnamed branch).
  • remote-tracking branches reside in refs/remotes/<remote>/ namespace, and follow ordinary branches in remote repository <remote>.

See also gitglossary manpage:

branch

A "branch" is an active line of development. The most recent commit on a branch is referred to as the tip of that branch. The tip of the branch is referenced by a branch head, which moves forward as additional development is done on the branch. A single git repository can track an arbitrary number of branches, but your working tree is associated with just one of them (the "current" or "checked out" branch), and HEAD points to that branch.

tag

A ref pointing to a tag or commit object. In contrast to a head, a tag is not changed by a commit. Tags (not tag objects) are stored in $GIT_DIR/refs/tags/. [...]. A tag is most typically used to mark a particular point in the commit ancestry chain.

tag object

An object containing a ref pointing to another object, which can contain a message just like a commit object. It can also contain a (PGP) signature, in which case it is called a "signed tag object".

How do I accomplish an if/else in mustache.js?

This is something you solve in the "controller", which is the point of logicless templating.

// some function that retreived data through ajax
function( view ){

   if ( !view.avatar ) {
      // DEFAULTS can be a global settings object you define elsewhere
      // so that you don't have to maintain these values all over the place
      // in your code.
      view.avatar = DEFAULTS.AVATAR;
   }

   // do template stuff here

}

This is actually a LOT better then maintaining image url's or other media that might or might not change in your templates, but takes some getting used to. The point is to unlearn template tunnel vision, an avatar img url is bound to be used in other templates, are you going to maintain that url on X templates or a single DEFAULTS settings object? ;)

Another option is to do the following:

// augment view
view.hasAvatar = !!view.avatar;
view.noAvatar = !view.avatar;

And in the template:

{{#hasAvatar}}
    SHOW AVATAR
{{/hasAvatar}}
{{#noAvatar}}
    SHOW DEFAULT
{{/noAvatar}}

But that's going against the whole meaning of logicless templating. If that's what you want to do, you want logical templating and you should not use Mustache, though do give it yourself a fair chance of learning this concept ;)

Opening a SQL Server .bak file (Not restoring!)

The only workable solution is to restore the .bak file. The contents and the structure of those files are not documented and therefore, there's really no way (other than an awful hack) to get this to work - definitely not worth your time and the effort!

The only tool I'm aware of that can make sense of .bak files without restoring them is Red-Gate SQL Compare Professional (and the accompanying SQL Data Compare) which allow you to compare your database structure against the contents of a .bak file. Red-Gate tools are absolutely marvelous - highly recommended and well worth every penny they cost!

And I just checked their web site - it does seem that you can indeed restore a single table from out of a .bak file with SQL Compare Pro ! :-)

Generating matplotlib graphs without a running X server

Return 0 if field is null in MySQL

None of the above answers were complete for me. If your field is named field, so the selector should be the following one:

IFNULL(`field`,0) AS field

For example in a SELECT query:

SELECT IFNULL(`field`,0) AS field, `otherfield` FROM `mytable`

Hope this can help someone to not waste time.

Equivalent to AssemblyInfo in dotnet core/csproj

As you've already noticed, you can control most of these settings in .csproj.

If you'd rather keep these in AssemblyInfo.cs, you can turn off auto-generated assembly attributes.

<PropertyGroup>
   <GenerateAssemblyInfo>false</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
</PropertyGroup> 

If you want to see what's going on under the hood, checkout Microsoft.NET.GenerateAssemblyInfo.targets inside of Microsoft.NET.Sdk.

How to get back to the latest commit after checking out a previous commit?

git checkout master

master is the tip, or the last commit. gitk will only show you up to where you are in the tree at the time. git reflog will show all the commits, but in this case, you just want the tip, so git checkout master.

Differences between dependencyManagement and dependencies in Maven

I'm fashionably late to this question, but I think it's worth a clearer response than the accepted one (which is correct, but doesn't emphasize the actual important part, which you need to deduce yourself).

In the parent POM, the main difference between the <dependencies> and <dependencyManagement> is this:

  • Artifacts specified in the <dependencies> section will ALWAYS be included as a dependency of the child module(s).

  • Artifacts specified in the <dependencyManagement> section, will only be included in the child module if they were also specified in the <dependencies> section of the child module itself. Why is it good you ask? Because you specify the version and/or scope in the parent, and you can leave them out when specifying the dependencies in the child POM. This can help you use unified versions for dependencies for child modules, without specifying the version in each child module.

Returning anonymous type in C#

public List<SomeClass> TheMethod(SomeParameter)
{
  using (MyDC TheDC = new MyDC())
  {
     var TheQueryFromDB = (....
                           select new SomeClass{ SomeVariable = ....,
                                        AnotherVariable = ....}
                           ).ToList();

      return TheQueryFromDB.ToList();
    }
}

public class SomeClass{
   public string SomeVariable{get;set}
   public string AnotherVariable{get;set;}
}

Creating your own class and querying for it is the best solution I know.As much as I know you can not use anonymous type return values in another method, because it won't just be recognized.However, they can be used in the same method. I used to return them as IQueryable or IEnumerable, though it still does not let you see what is inside of the anonymous type variable.

I run into something like this before while I was trying to refactor some code, you can check it here : Refactoring and creating separate methods

Polymorphism: Why use "List list = new ArrayList" instead of "ArrayList list = new ArrayList"?

This is called programming to interface. This will be helpful in case if you wish to move to some other implementation of List in the future. If you want some methods in ArrayList then you would need to program to the implementation that is ArrayList a = new ArrayList().

Iterate over object attributes in python

class someclass:
        x=1
        y=2
        z=3
        def __init__(self):
           self.current_idx = 0
           self.items = ["x","y","z"]
        def next(self):
            if self.current_idx < len(self.items):
                self.current_idx += 1
                k = self.items[self.current_idx-1]
                return (k,getattr(self,k))
            else:
                raise StopIteration
        def __iter__(self):
           return self

then just call it as an iterable

s=someclass()
for k,v in s:
    print k,"=",v

Is there a way to reduce the size of the git folder?

Run:

git remote prune origin

Deletes all stale tracking branches which have already been removed at origin but are still locally available in remotes/origin.

git gc --auto

'G arbage C ollection' - runs housekeeping tasks (compresses revisions, removes loose/inaccessible objects). The --auto flag first determines whether any work is required, and exits without doing anything if not.

Disable EditText blinking cursor

In my case, I wanted to enable/disable the cursor when the edit is focused.

        View v = getCurrentFocus();
        if (v instanceof EditText) {
            EditText edit = ((EditText) v);
            Rect outR = new Rect();
            edit.getGlobalVisibleRect(outR);
            Boolean isKeyboardOpen = !outR.contains((int)ev.getRawX(), (int)ev.getRawY());
            System.out.print("Is Keyboard? " + isKeyboardOpen);
            if (isKeyboardOpen) {
                System.out.print("Entro al IF");
                edit.clearFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edit.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }

            edit.setCursorVisible(!isKeyboardOpen);

        }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}

How can you check for a #hash in a URL using JavaScript?

Throwing this in here as a method for abstracting location properties from arbitrary URI-like strings. Although window.location instanceof Location is true, any attempt to invoke Location will tell you that it's an illegal constructor. You can still get to things like hash, query, protocol etc by setting your string as the href property of a DOM anchor element, which will then share all the address properties with window.location.

Simplest way of doing this is:

var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = string;

string.hash;

For convenience, I wrote a little library that utilises this to replace the native Location constructor with one that will take strings and produce window.location-like objects: Location.js

How to get a string after a specific substring?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned partition.

def substring_after(s, delim):
    return s.partition(delim)[2]

IMHO, this solution is more readable than @arshajii's. Other than that, I think @arshajii's is the best for being the fastest -- it does not create any unnecessary copies/substrings.

How do I copy folder with files to another folder in Unix/Linux?

The option you're looking for is -R.

cp -R path_to_source path_to_destination/
  • If destination doesn't exist, it will be created.
  • -R means copy directories recursively. You can also use -r since it's case-insensitive.
  • Note the nuances with adding the trailing / as per @muni764's comment.

Missing Microsoft RDLC Report Designer in Visual Studio

Reading NFC Tags with iPhone 6 / iOS 8

At the moment, Apple has not opened any access to the embedded NFC chip to developers as suggested by many articles such as these ones :

The list goes on. The main reason seems (like lots the other hardware features added to the iPhone in the past) that Apple wants to ensure the security of such technology before releasing any API for developers to let them do whatever they want. So at first, they will use it internally for their needs only (such as Apple Pay at launch time).

"At the moment, there isn't any open access to the NFC controller," said RapidNFC, a provider of NFC tags. "There are currently no NFC APIs in the iOS 8 GM SDK".

But eventually, I think we can all agree that they will develop such API, it's only a matter of time.

Dynamically change color to lighter or darker by percentage CSS (Javascript)

if you decide to use http://compass-style.org/, a sass-based css framework, it provides very useful darken() and lighten() sass functions to dynamically generate css. it's very clean:

@import compass/utilities

$link_color: #bb8f8f
a
  color: $link_color
a:visited
  color: $link_color
a:hover
  color: darken($link_color,10)

generates

a {
  color: #bb8f8f;
}

a:visited {
  color: #bb8f8f;

How to change the color of a SwitchCompat from AppCompat library

My working example of using style and android:theme simultaneously (API >= 21)

<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
    android:id="@+id/wan_enable_nat_switch"
    style="@style/Switch"
    app:layout_constraintBaseline_toBaselineOf="@id/wan_enable_nat_label"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />

<style name="Switch">
    <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    <item name="android:paddingEnd">16dp</item>
    <item name="android:focusableInTouchMode">true</item>
    <item name="android:theme">@style/ThemeOverlay.MySwitchCompat</item>
</style>

<style name="ThemeOverlay.MySwitchCompat" parent="">
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorSwitchThumbNormal">@color/text_outline_not_active</item>
    <item name="android:colorForeground">#42221f1f</item>
</style>

Java serialization - java.io.InvalidClassException local class incompatible

@DanielChapman gives a good explanation of serialVersionUID, but no solution. the solution is this: run the serialver program on all your old classes. put these serialVersionUID values in your current versions of the classes. as long as the current classes are serial compatible with the old versions, you should be fine. (note for future code: you should always have a serialVersionUID on all Serializable classes)

if the new versions are not serial compatible, then you need to do some magic with a custom readObject implementation (you would only need a custom writeObject if you were trying to write new class data which would be compatible with old code). generally speaking adding or removing class fields does not make a class serial incompatible. changing the type of existing fields usually will.

Of course, even if the new class is serial compatible, you may still want a custom readObject implementation. you may want this if you want to fill in any new fields which are missing from data saved from old versions of the class (e.g. you have a new List field which you want to initialize to an empty list when loading old class data).

How to find out the MySQL root password

Apache is "Unable to initialize module" because of module's and PHP's API don't match after changing the PHP configuration

In my case in php.ini

[CLDbg]
extension=php_cl_dbg_5_3_VC9.dll

I removed Codelobster which support different PHP version, so need to update to:

[CLDbg]

What is the difference between call and apply?

While this is an old topic, I just wanted to point out that .call is slightly faster than .apply. I can't tell you exactly why.

See jsPerf, http://jsperf.com/test-call-vs-apply/3


[UPDATE!]

Douglas Crockford mentions briefly the difference between the two, which may help explain the performance difference... http://youtu.be/ya4UHuXNygM?t=15m52s

Apply takes an array of arguments, while Call takes zero or more individual parameters! Ah hah!

.apply(this, [...])

.call(this, param1, param2, param3, param4...)

How to calculate probability in a normal distribution given mean & standard deviation?

Scipy.stats is a great module. Just to offer another approach, you can calculate it directly using

import math
def normpdf(x, mean, sd):
    var = float(sd)**2
    denom = (2*math.pi*var)**.5
    num = math.exp(-(float(x)-float(mean))**2/(2*var))
    return num/denom

This uses the formula found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution#Probability_density_function

to test:

>>> normpdf(7,5,5)  
0.07365402806066466
>>> norm(5,5).pdf(7)
0.073654028060664664

How to compile Tensorflow with SSE4.2 and AVX instructions?

These are SIMD vector processing instruction sets.

Using vector instructions is faster for many tasks; machine learning is such a task.

Quoting the tensorflow installation docs:

To be compatible with as wide a range of machines as possible, TensorFlow defaults to only using SSE4.1 SIMD instructions on x86 machines. Most modern PCs and Macs support more advanced instructions, so if you're building a binary that you'll only be running on your own machine, you can enable these by using --copt=-march=native in your bazel build command.

cleanup php session files

You can create script /etc/cron.hourly/php and put there:

#!/bin/bash

max=24
tmpdir=/tmp

nice find ${tmpdir} -type f -name 'sess_*' -mmin +${max} -delete

Then make the script executable (chmod +x).

Now every hour will be deleted all session files with data modified more than 24 minutes ago.

Insert new item in array on any position in PHP

You can use this

foreach ($array as $key => $value) 
{
    if($key==1)
    {
        $new_array[]=$other_array;
    }   
    $new_array[]=$value;    
}

Is there an easy way to convert jquery code to javascript?

This will get you 90% of the way there ; )

window.$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document)

For Ajax, the Fetch API is now supported on the current version of every major browser. For $.ready(), DOMContentLoaded has near universal support. You Might Not Need jQuery gives equivalent native methods for other common jQuery functions.

Zepto offers similar functionality but weighs in at 10K zipped. There are custom Ajax builds for jQuery and Zepto as well as some micro frameworks, but jQuery/Zepto have solid support and 10KB is only ~1 second on a 56K modem.

jquery save json data object in cookie

You can serialize the data as JSON, like this:

$.cookie("basket-data", JSON.stringify($("#ArticlesHolder").data()));

Then to get it from the cookie:

$("#ArticlesHolder").data(JSON.parse($.cookie("basket-data")));

This relies on JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() to serialize/deserialize your data object, for older browsers (IE<8) include json2.js to get the JSON functionality. This example uses the jQuery cookie plugin

How to get the path of the batch script in Windows?

You can use following script to get the path without trailing "\"

for %%i in ("%~dp0.") do SET "mypath=%%~fi"

TypeError: $ is not a function WordPress

Either you're not including jquery toolkit/lib, as some have suggested, or there is a conflict of sorts. To test: include jQuery and test like this:

console.log($);
console.log($ === jQuery);

If $ is not undefined, and $ === jQuery logs false, you definitely have a conflict on your hands. Replacing your $ with jQuery solves that, but that can be quite tedious (all that extra typing...). Generally I start my scripts with $jq = _$ = jQuery; to at least have a shorter reference to the jQuery object.
Of course, before you do that, check to see if you're not accidentally overriding variables that have been set beforehand: console.log($jq, _jQ, _$); whichever is not undefined should be left alone, of course

How do I compare two hashes?

... and now in module form to be applied to a variety of collection classes (Hash among them). It's not a deep inspection, but it's simple.

# Enable "diffing" and two-way transformations between collection objects
module Diffable
  # Calculates the changes required to transform self to the given collection.
  # @param b [Enumerable] The other collection object
  # @return [Array] The Diff: A two-element change set representing items to exclude and items to include
  def diff( b )
    a, b = to_a, b.to_a
    [a - b, b - a]
  end

  # Consume return value of Diffable#diff to produce a collection equal to the one used to produce the given diff.
  # @param to_drop [Enumerable] items to exclude from the target collection
  # @param to_add  [Enumerable] items to include in the target collection
  # @return [Array] New transformed collection equal to the one used to create the given change set
  def apply_diff( to_drop, to_add )
    to_a - to_drop + to_add
  end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  # Demo: Hashes with overlapping keys and somewhat random values.
  Hash.send :include, Diffable
  rng = Random.new
  a = (:a..:q).to_a.reduce(Hash[]){|h,k| h.merge! Hash[k, rng.rand(2)] }
  b = (:i..:z).to_a.reduce(Hash[]){|h,k| h.merge! Hash[k, rng.rand(2)] }
  raise unless a == Hash[ b.apply_diff(*b.diff(a)) ] # change b to a
  raise unless b == Hash[ a.apply_diff(*a.diff(b)) ] # change a to b
  raise unless a == Hash[ a.apply_diff(*a.diff(a)) ] # change a to a
  raise unless b == Hash[ b.apply_diff(*b.diff(b)) ] # change b to b
end

Using module 'subprocess' with timeout

I don't know much about the low level details; but, given that in python 2.6 the API offers the ability to wait for threads and terminate processes, what about running the process in a separate thread?

import subprocess, threading

class Command(object):
    def __init__(self, cmd):
        self.cmd = cmd
        self.process = None

    def run(self, timeout):
        def target():
            print 'Thread started'
            self.process = subprocess.Popen(self.cmd, shell=True)
            self.process.communicate()
            print 'Thread finished'

        thread = threading.Thread(target=target)
        thread.start()

        thread.join(timeout)
        if thread.is_alive():
            print 'Terminating process'
            self.process.terminate()
            thread.join()
        print self.process.returncode

command = Command("echo 'Process started'; sleep 2; echo 'Process finished'")
command.run(timeout=3)
command.run(timeout=1)

The output of this snippet in my machine is:

Thread started
Process started
Process finished
Thread finished
0
Thread started
Process started
Terminating process
Thread finished
-15

where it can be seen that, in the first execution, the process finished correctly (return code 0), while the in the second one the process was terminated (return code -15).

I haven't tested in windows; but, aside from updating the example command, I think it should work since I haven't found in the documentation anything that says that thread.join or process.terminate is not supported.

Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)

Took the code above and fixed because it throws Internal Server Error 500. There are some problems with \r\n badly positioned and spaces etc. Applied the refactoring with memory stream, writing directly to the request stream. Here is the result:

    public static void HttpUploadFile(string url, string file, string paramName, string contentType, NameValueCollection nvc) {
        log.Debug(string.Format("Uploading {0} to {1}", file, url));
        string boundary = "---------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
        byte[] boundarybytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\n");

        HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        wr.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
        wr.Method = "POST";
        wr.KeepAlive = true;
        wr.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

        Stream rs = wr.GetRequestStream();

        string formdataTemplate = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"\r\n\r\n{1}";
        foreach (string key in nvc.Keys)
        {
            rs.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);
            string formitem = string.Format(formdataTemplate, key, nvc[key]);
            byte[] formitembytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(formitem);
            rs.Write(formitembytes, 0, formitembytes.Length);
        }
        rs.Write(boundarybytes, 0, boundarybytes.Length);

        string headerTemplate = "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\nContent-Type: {2}\r\n\r\n";
        string header = string.Format(headerTemplate, paramName, file, contentType);
        byte[] headerbytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(header);
        rs.Write(headerbytes, 0, headerbytes.Length);

        FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        int bytesRead = 0;
        while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0) {
            rs.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
        }
        fileStream.Close();

        byte[] trailer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n");
        rs.Write(trailer, 0, trailer.Length);
        rs.Close();

        WebResponse wresp = null;
        try {
            wresp = wr.GetResponse();
            Stream stream2 = wresp.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader reader2 = new StreamReader(stream2);
            log.Debug(string.Format("File uploaded, server response is: {0}", reader2.ReadToEnd()));
        } catch(Exception ex) {
            log.Error("Error uploading file", ex);
            if(wresp != null) {
                wresp.Close();
                wresp = null;
            }
        } finally {
            wr = null;
        }
    }

and sample usage:

    NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
    nvc.Add("id", "TTR");
    nvc.Add("btn-submit-photo", "Upload");
    HttpUploadFile("http://your.server.com/upload", 
         @"C:\test\test.jpg", "file", "image/jpeg", nvc);

It could be extended to handle multiple files or just call it multiple times for each file. However it suits your needs.

Mockito: List Matchers with generics

Before Java 8 (versions 7 or 6) I use the new method ArgumentMatchers.anyList:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
import org.mockito.ArgumentMatchers;

verify(mock, atLeastOnce()).process(ArgumentMatchers.<Bar>anyList());

How does the "this" keyword work?

this in JavaScript always refers to the 'owner' of the function that is being executed.

If no explicit owner is defined, then the top most owner, the window object, is referenced.

So if I did

function someKindOfFunction() {
   this.style = 'foo';
}

element.onclick = someKindOfFunction;

this would refer to the element object. But be careful, a lot of people make this mistake.

<element onclick="someKindOfFunction()">

In the latter case, you merely reference the function, not hand it over to the element. Therefore, this will refer to the window object.

What is the difference between dim and set in vba


However, I don't think this is what you're really asking.

Sometimes I use:

    Dim r as Range
    r = Range("A1")

This will never work. Without Set you will receive runtime error #91 Object variable or With block variable not set. This is because you must use Set to assign a variables value to an object reference. Then the code above will work.

I think the code below illustrates what you're really asking about. Let's suppose we don't declare a type and let r be a Variant type instead.

Public Sub test()
    Dim r
    debug.print TypeName(r)

    Set r = Range("A1")
    debug.print TypeName(r)

    r = Range("A1")
    debug.print TypeName(r)
End Sub

So, let's break down what happens here.

  1. r is declared as a Variant

    `Dim r` ' TypeName(r) returns "Empty", which is the value for an uninitialized variant
    
  2. r is set to the Range containing cell "A1"

    Set r = Range("A1") ' TypeName(r) returns "Range"
    
  3. r is set to the value of the default property of Range("A1").

    r = Range("A1") ' TypeName(r) returns "String"
    

In this case, the default property of a Range is .Value, so the following two lines of code are equivalent.

r = Range("A1")
r = Range("A1").Value

For more about default object properties, please see Chip Pearson's "Default Member of a Class".


As for your Set example:

Other times I use

Set r = Range("A1")

This wouldn't work without first declaring that r is a Range or Variant object... using the Dim statement - unless you don't have Option Explicit enabled, which you should. Always. Otherwise, you're using identifiers that you haven't declared and they are all implicitly declared as Variants.

datetime.parse and making it work with a specific format

Thanks for the tip, i used this to get my date "20071122" parsed, I needed to add datetimestyles, I used none and it worked:

DateTime dt = DateTime.MinValue;

DateTime.TryParseExact("20071122", "yyyyMMdd", null,System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out dt);

Gradle finds wrong JAVA_HOME even though it's correctly set

Before running the command try entering:

export JAVA_HOME="path_to_java_home"

Where path_to_java_home is the folder where your bin/java is.

If java is properly installed you can find it's location, by using the command:

readlink -f $(which java)

Don't forget to remove bin/java from the end of the path while putting it into JAVA_HOME

How to use terminal commands with Github?

get and set in TypeScript

It is very similar to creating common methods, simply put the keyword reserved get or set at the beginning.

class Name{
    private _name: string;

    getMethod(): string{
        return this._name;
    }

    setMethod(value: string){
        this._name = value
    }

    get getMethod1(): string{
        return this._name;
    }

    set setMethod1(value: string){
        this._name = value
    }
}

class HelloWorld {

    public static main(){

        let test = new Name();

        test.setMethod('test.getMethod() --- need ()');
            console.log(test.getMethod());

        test.setMethod1 = 'test.getMethod1 --- no need (), and used = for set ';
            console.log(test.getMethod1);
    }
}
HelloWorld.main();

In this case you can skip return type in get getMethod1() {

    get getMethod1() {
        return this._name;
    }

jQuery .find() on data from .ajax() call is returning "[object Object]" instead of div

You can do it in this way to find any div and get its attributes or anything you want.

$(response).filter('#elementtobefindinresponse').attr("id");

or

$(response).filter('img#test').attr("src");

jQuery: How to get the HTTP status code from within the $.ajax.error method?

If you're using jQuery 1.5, then statusCode will work.

If you're using jQuery 1.4, try this:

error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
    alert(jqXHR.status);
    alert(textStatus);
    alert(errorThrown);
}

You should see the status code from the first alert.

How can I link a photo in a Facebook album to a URL

You can only do this to you own photos. Due to recent upgrades, Facebook has made this more difficult. To do this, go to the album page where the photo is that you want to link to. You should see thumbnail images of the photos in the album. Hold down the "Control" or "Command" key while clicking the photo that you wish to link to. A new browser tab will open with the picture you clicked. Under the picture there is a URL that you can send to others to share the photo. You might have to have the privacy settings for that album set so that anyone can see the photos in that album. If you don't the person who clicks the link may have to be signed in and also be your "friend."

Here is an example of one of my photos: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=43764341&l=0d8a526a64&id=25502298 -it's my cat.

Update:

The link below the photo no longer appears. Once you open the photo in a new tab you can right click the photo (Control+click for Mac users) and click "Copy Image URL" or similar and then share this link. Based on my tests the person who clicks the link doesn't need to use Facebook. The photo will load without the Facebook interface. Like this - http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189088_867367406856_25502298_43764341_1304758_n.jpg

Adjust UILabel height to text

based on Anorak's answer, I also agree with Zorayr's concern, so I added a couple of lines to remove the UILabel and return only the CGFloat, I don't know if it helps since the original code doesn't add the UIabel, but it doesn't throw error, so I'm using the code below:

func heightForView(text:String, font:UIFont, width:CGFloat) -> CGFloat{

    var currHeight:CGFloat!

    let label:UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, width, CGFloat.max))
    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
    label.font = font
    label.text = text
    label.sizeToFit()

    currHeight = label.frame.height
    label.removeFromSuperview()

    return currHeight
}

Root user/sudo equivalent in Cygwin?

A very simple way to have a cygwin shell and corresponding subshells to operate with administrator privileges is to change the properties of the link which opens the initial shell.

The following is valid for Windows 7+ (perhaps for previous versions too, but I've not checked)

I usually start the cygwin shell from a cygwin-link in the start button (or desktop). Then, I changed the properties of the cygwin-link in the tabs

/Compatibility/Privilege Level/

and checked the box,

"Run this program as an administrator"

This allows the cygwin shell to open with administrator privileges and the corresponding subshells too.

How do I check if a file exists in Java?

It's also well worth getting familiar with Commons FileUtils https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-2.5/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html This has additional methods for managing files and often better than JDK.

how to get the last character of a string?

Plotting multiple time series on the same plot using ggplot()

If both data frames have the same column names then you should add one data frame inside ggplot() call and also name x and y values inside aes() of ggplot() call. Then add first geom_line() for the first line and add second geom_line() call with data=df2 (where df2 is your second data frame). If you need to have lines in different colors then add color= and name for eahc line inside aes() of each geom_line().

df1<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=rnorm(10))
df2<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=rnorm(10))

ggplot(df1,aes(x,y))+geom_line(aes(color="First line"))+
  geom_line(data=df2,aes(color="Second line"))+
  labs(color="Legend text")

Sorting A ListView By Column

I sort using column name to set any sorting specifics that may need to be handled based on data type stored in the column and or if the column has already been sorted on(asc/desc). Here's a snippet from my ColumnClick event handler.

private void listView_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
    {
        ListViewItemComparer sorter = GetListViewSorter(e.Column);

        listView.ListViewItemSorter = sorter;
        listView.Sort();
    }

    private ListViewItemComparer GetListViewSorter(int columnIndex)
    {
        ListViewItemComparer sorter = (ListViewItemComparer)listView.ListViewItemSorter;
        if (sorter == null)
        {
            sorter = new ListViewItemComparer();
        }

        sorter.ColumnIndex = columnIndex;

        string columnName = packagedEstimateListView.Columns[columnIndex].Name;
        switch (columnName)
        {
            case ApplicationModel.DisplayColumns.DateCreated:
            case ApplicationModel.DisplayColumns.DateUpdated:

Angular 1 - get current URL parameters

ex: url/:id

var sample= app.controller('sample', function ($scope, $routeParams) {
  $scope.init = function () {
    var qa_id = $routeParams.qa_id;
  }
});

JPA & Criteria API - Select only specific columns

First of all, I don't really see why you would want an object having only ID and Version, and all other props to be nulls. However, here is some code which will do that for you (which doesn't use JPA Em, but normal Hibernate. I assume you can find the equivalence in JPA or simply obtain the Hibernate Session obj from the em delegate Accessing Hibernate Session from EJB using EntityManager ):

List<T> results = session.createCriteria(entityClazz)
    .setProjection( Projections.projectionList()
        .add( Property.forName("ID") )
        .add( Property.forName("VERSION") )
    )
    .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(entityClazz); 
    .list();

This will return a list of Objects having their ID and Version set and all other props to null, as the aliasToBean transformer won't be able to find them. Again, I am uncertain I can think of a situation where I would want to do that.

JSP tricks to make templating easier?

Based on the same basic idea as in @Will Hartung's answer, here is my magic one-tag extensible template engine. It even includes documentation and an example :-)

WEB-INF/tags/block.tag:

<%--
    The block tag implements a basic but useful extensible template system.

    A base template consists of a block tag without a 'template' attribute.
    The template body is specified in a standard jsp:body tag, which can
    contain EL, JSTL tags, nested block tags and other custom tags, but
    cannot contain scriptlets (scriptlets are allowed in the template file,
    but only outside of the body and attribute tags). Templates can be
    full-page templates, or smaller blocks of markup included within a page.

    The template is customizable by referencing named attributes within
    the body (via EL). Attribute values can then be set either as attributes
    of the block tag element itself (convenient for short values), or by
    using nested jsp:attribute elements (better for entire blocks of markup).

    Rendering a template block or extending it in a child template is then
    just a matter of invoking the block tag with the 'template' attribute set
    to the desired template name, and overriding template-specific attributes
    as necessary to customize it.

    Attribute values set when rendering a tag override those set in the template
    definition, which override those set in its parent template definition, etc.
    The attributes that are set in the base template are thus effectively used
    as defaults. Attributes that are not set anywhere are treated as empty.

    Internally, attributes are passed from child to parent via request-scope
    attributes, which are removed when rendering is complete.

    Here's a contrived example:

    ====== WEB-INF/tags/block.tag (the template engine tag)

    <the file you're looking at right now>

Resize an Array while keeping current elements in Java?

Sorry, but at this time is not possible resize arrays, and may be never will be.

So my recommendation, is to think more to find a solution that allow you get from the beginning of the process, the size of the arrays that you will requiere. This often will implicate that your code need a little more time (lines) to run, but you will save a lot of memory resources.

Where does Android app package gets installed on phone

You will find the application folder at:

/data/data/"your package name"

you can access this folder using the DDMS for your Emulator. you can't access this location on a real device unless you have a rooted device.

Failed to locate the winutils binary in the hadoop binary path

I was getting the same issue in windows. I fixed it by

  • Downloading hadoop-common-2.2.0-bin-master from link.
  • Create a user variable HADOOP_HOME in Environment variable and assign the path of hadoop-common bin directory as a value.
  • You can verify it by running hadoop in cmd.
  • Restart the IDE and Run it.

Regex for checking if a string is strictly alphanumeric

try this [0-9a-zA-Z]+ for only alpha and num with one char at-least..

may need modification so test on it

http://www.regexplanet.com/advanced/java/index.html

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(phoneNumber);
if (matcher.matches()) {

}

Javascript callback when IFRAME is finished loading?

I am using jQuery and surprisingly this seems to load as I just tested and loaded a heavy page and I didn't get the alert for a few seconds until I saw the iframe load:

$('#the_iframe').load(function(){
    alert('loaded!');
});

So if you don't want to use jQuery take a look at their source code and see if this function behaves differently with iframe DOM elements, I will look at it myself later as I am interested and post here. Also I only tested in the latest chrome.

Copy-item Files in Folders and subfolders in the same directory structure of source server using PowerShell

I had trouble with the most popular answer (overthinking). It put AFolder in the \Server\MyFolder\AFolder and I wanted the contents of AFolder and below in MyFolder. This didn't work.

Copy-Item -Verbose -Path C:\MyFolder\AFolder -Destination \\Server\MyFolder -recurse -Force

Plus I needed to Filter and only copy *.config files.

This didn't work, with "\*" because it did not recurse

Copy-Item -Verbose -Path C:\MyFolder\AFolder\* -Filter *.config -Destination \\Server\MyFolder -recurse -Force

I ended up lopping off the beginning of the path string, to get the childPath relative to where I was recursing from. This works for the use-case in question and went down many subdirectories, which some other solutions do not.

Get-Childitem -Path "$($sourcePath)/**/*.config" -Recurse | 
ForEach-Object {
  $childPath = "$_".substring($sourcePath.length+1)
  $dest = "$($destPath)\$($childPath)" #this puts a \ between dest and child path
  Copy-Item -Verbose -Path $_ -Destination $dest -Force   
}

Python: download a file from an FTP server

urlretrieve is not work for me, and the official document said that They might become deprecated at some point in the future.

import shutil 
from urllib.request import URLopener
opener = URLopener()
url = 'ftp://ftp_domain/path/to/the/file'
store_path = 'path//to//your//local//storage'
with opener.open(url) as remote_file, open(store_path, 'wb') as local_file:
    shutil.copyfileobj(remote_file, local_file)

Simple way to get element by id within a div tag?

Sample Html code   
 <div id="temp">
        F1 <input type="text" value="111"/><br/>
        F2 <input type="text" value="222"/><br/>
        F3 <input type="text" value="333"/><br/>
        Type <select>
        <option value="A">A</option>
        <option value="B">B</option>
        <option value="C">C</option>
        </select>
        <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="getVal()">
    </div>

Javascript

    function  getVal()
    {
        var test = document.getElementById("temp").getElementsByTagName("input");
        alert("Number of Input Elements "+test.length);
        for(var i=0;i<test.length;i++)
        {
          if(test[i].type=="text")
          {
            alert(test[i].value);
          }
       }
      test = document.getElementById("temp").getElementsByTagName("select");
      alert("Select box  "+test[0].options[test[0].selectedIndex].text);
    }

By providing different tag names we can get all the values from the div.

Though the example you gave isn't an integer, so I'm not sure why you want it as a long.

Parse XML using JavaScript

I'm guessing from your last question, asked 20 minutes before this one, that you are trying to parse (read and convert) the XML found through using GeoNames' FindNearestAddress.

If your XML is in a string variable called txt and looks like this:

<address>
  <street>Roble Ave</street>
  <mtfcc>S1400</mtfcc>
  <streetNumber>649</streetNumber>
  <lat>37.45127</lat>
  <lng>-122.18032</lng>
  <distance>0.04</distance>
  <postalcode>94025</postalcode>
  <placename>Menlo Park</placename>
  <adminCode2>081</adminCode2>
  <adminName2>San Mateo</adminName2>
  <adminCode1>CA</adminCode1>
  <adminName1>California</adminName1>
  <countryCode>US</countryCode>
</address>

Then you can parse the XML with Javascript DOM like this:

if (window.DOMParser)
{
    parser = new DOMParser();
    xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(txt, "text/xml");
}
else // Internet Explorer
{
    xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
    xmlDoc.async = false;
    xmlDoc.loadXML(txt);
}

And get specific values from the nodes like this:

//Gets house address number
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("streetNumber")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

//Gets Street name
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("street")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

//Gets Postal Code
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("postalcode")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

JSFiddle


Feb. 2019 edit:

In response to @gaugeinvariante's concerns about xml with Namespace prefixes. Should you have a need to parse xml with Namespace prefixes, everything should work almost identically:

NOTE: this will only work in browsers that support xml namespace prefixes such as Microsoft Edge

_x000D_
_x000D_
// XML with namespace prefixes 's', 'sn', and 'p' in a variable called txt_x000D_
txt = `_x000D_
<address xmlns:p='example.com/postal' xmlns:s='example.com/street' xmlns:sn='example.com/streetNum'>_x000D_
  <s:street>Roble Ave</s:street>_x000D_
  <sn:streetNumber>649</sn:streetNumber>_x000D_
  <p:postalcode>94025</p:postalcode>_x000D_
</address>`;_x000D_
_x000D_
//Everything else the same_x000D_
if (window.DOMParser)_x000D_
{_x000D_
    parser = new DOMParser();_x000D_
    xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(txt, "text/xml");_x000D_
}_x000D_
else // Internet Explorer_x000D_
{_x000D_
    xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");_x000D_
    xmlDoc.async = false;_x000D_
    xmlDoc.loadXML(txt);_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
//The prefix should not be included when you request the xml namespace_x000D_
//Gets "streetNumber" (note there is no prefix of "sn"_x000D_
console.log(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("streetNumber")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);_x000D_
_x000D_
//Gets Street name_x000D_

Modifying CSS class property values on the fly with JavaScript / jQuery

Use jquery to add a style override in the <head>:

$('<style>.someClass {color: red;} input::-webkit-outer-spin-button: {display: none;}</style>')
.appendTo('head'); 

HREF="" automatically adds to current page URL (in PHP). Can't figure it out

A solution that works no matter if you are developing on a local server or live is to add "//" in front of your link. This will effectivly remove the URL of the site you are currently on.

Example:

<a href="www.google.com">Google.com</a>

This will in output http://localhost/mySite/currentPage/www.google.com

What you should do instead is this:

<a href="//www.google.com">Google.com</a>

This will output www.google.com

Search a whole table in mySQL for a string

In addition to pattern matching with 'like' keyword. You can also perform search by using fulltext feature as below;

SELECT * FROM clients WHERE MATCH (shipping_name, billing_name, email) AGAINST ('mary')

How do you get the contextPath from JavaScript, the right way?

Got it :D

function getContextPath() {
   return window.location.pathname.substring(0, window.location.pathname.indexOf("/",2));
}
alert(getContextPath());

Important note: Does only work for the "root" context path. Does not work with "subfolders", or if context path has a slash ("/") in it.

Change bootstrap navbar collapse breakpoint without using LESS

You have to write a specific media query for this, from your question, below 768px, the navbar will collapse, so apply it above 768px and below 1000px, just like that:

@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1000px) {
   .collapse {
       display: none !important;
   }
}

This will hide the navbar collapse until the default occurrence of the bootstrap unit. As the collapse class flips the inner assets inside navbar collapse will be automatically hidden, like wise you have to set your css as you desired design.

How to make lists contain only distinct element in Python?

Modified versions of http://www.peterbe.com/plog/uniqifiers-benchmark

To preserve the order:

def f(seq): # Order preserving
  ''' Modified version of Dave Kirby solution '''
  seen = set()
  return [x for x in seq if x not in seen and not seen.add(x)]

OK, now how does it work, because it's a little bit tricky here if x not in seen and not seen.add(x):

In [1]: 0 not in [1,2,3] and not print('add')
add
Out[1]: True

Why does it return True? print (and set.add) returns nothing:

In [3]: type(seen.add(10))
Out[3]: <type 'NoneType'>

and not None == True, but:

In [2]: 1 not in [1,2,3] and not print('add')
Out[2]: False

Why does it print 'add' in [1] but not in [2]? See False and print('add'), and doesn't check the second argument, because it already knows the answer, and returns true only if both arguments are True.

More generic version, more readable, generator based, adds the ability to transform values with a function:

def f(seq, idfun=None): # Order preserving
  return list(_f(seq, idfun))

def _f(seq, idfun=None):  
  ''' Originally proposed by Andrew Dalke '''
  seen = set()
  if idfun is None:
    for x in seq:
      if x not in seen:
        seen.add(x)
        yield x
  else:
    for x in seq:
      x = idfun(x)
      if x not in seen:
        seen.add(x)
        yield x

Without order (it's faster):

Register 32 bit COM DLL to 64 bit Windows 7

I was getting the error "The module may compatible with this version of windows" for both version of RegSvr32 (32 bit and 64 bit). I was trying to register a DLL that was built for XP (32 bit) in Server 2008 R2 (x64) and none of the Regsr32 resolutions worked for me. However, registering the assembly in the appropriate .Net worked perfect for me. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe

Jquery, checking if a value exists in array or not

Try jQuery.inArray()

Here is a jsfiddle link using the same code : http://jsfiddle.net/yrshaikh/SUKn2/

The $.inArray() method is similar to JavaScript's native .indexOf() method in that it returns -1 when it doesn't find a match. If the first element within the array matches value, $.inArray() returns 0

Example Code :

<html>
   <head>
      <style>
         div { color:blue; }
         span { color:red; }
  </style>
      <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
   </head>
   <body>    
      <div>"John" found at <span></span></div>
      <div>4 found at <span></span></div>
      <div>"Karl" not found, so <span></span></div>
      <div>
         "Pete" is in the array, but not at or after index 2, so <span></span>
      </div>
      <script>
         var arr = [ 4, "Pete", 8, "John" ];
         var $spans = $("span");
         $spans.eq(0).text(jQuery.inArray("John", arr));
         $spans.eq(1).text(jQuery.inArray(4, arr));
         $spans.eq(2).text(jQuery.inArray("Karl", arr));
         $spans.eq(3).text(jQuery.inArray("Pete", arr, 2));
      </script>  
   </body>
</html>

Output:

"John" found at 3
4 found at 0
"Karl" not found, so -1
"Pete" is in the array, but not at or after index 2, so -1

How do I get interactive plots again in Spyder/IPython/matplotlib?

You can quickly control this by typing built-in magic commands in Spyder's IPython console, which I find faster than picking these from the preferences menu. Changes take immediate effect, without needing to restart Spyder or the kernel.

To switch to "automatic" (i.e. interactive) plots, type:

%matplotlib auto

then if you want to switch back to "inline", type this:

%matplotlib inline

(Note: these commands don't work in non-IPython consoles)

See more background on this topic: Purpose of "%matplotlib inline"

java get file size efficiently

I ran into this same issue. I needed to get the file size and modified date of 90,000 files on a network share. Using Java, and being as minimalistic as possible, it would take a very long time. (I needed to get the URL from the file, and the path of the object as well. So its varied somewhat, but more than an hour.) I then used a native Win32 executable, and did the same task, just dumping the file path, modified, and size to the console, and executed that from Java. The speed was amazing. The native process, and my string handling to read the data could process over 1000 items a second.

So even though people down ranked the above comment, this is a valid solution, and did solve my issue. In my case I knew the folders I needed the sizes of ahead of time, and I could pass that in the command line to my win32 app. I went from hours to process a directory to minutes.

The issue did also seem to be Windows specific. OS X did not have the same issue and could access network file info as fast as the OS could do so.

Java File handling on Windows is terrible. Local disk access for files is fine though. It was just network shares that caused the terrible performance. Windows could get info on the network share and calculate the total size in under a minute too.

Adding Jar files to IntellijIdea classpath

If, as I just encountered, you happen to have a jar file listed in the Project Structures->Libraries that is not in your classpath, the correct answer can be found by following the link given by @CrazyCoder above: Look here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-module-dependencies-and-libraries.html

This says that to add the jar file as a module dependency within the Project Structure dialog:

  1. Open Project Structure
  2. Select Modules, then click on the module for which you want the dependency
  3. Choose the Dependencies tab
  4. Click the '+' at the bottom of the page and choose the appropriate way to connect to the library file. If the jar file is already listed in Libraries, then select 'Library'.

Merge PDF files

A slight variation using a dictionary for greater flexibility (e.g. sort, dedup):

import os
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileMerger
# use dict to sort by filepath or filename
file_dict = {}
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk("<dir>"):
    for file in files:
        filepath = subdir + os.sep + file
        # you can have multiple endswith
        if filepath.endswith((".pdf", ".PDF")):
            file_dict[file] = filepath
# use strict = False to ignore PdfReadError: Illegal character error
merger = PdfFileMerger(strict=False)

for k, v in file_dict.items():
    print(k, v)
    merger.append(v)

merger.write("combined_result.pdf")

Angular JS Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr]

I previously had the same issue, but I realized that I didn't include the "app.js" (the main application) inside my main page (index.html). So even when you include all the dependencies required by AngularJS, you might end up with that error in the console. So always make sure to include the necessary files inside your main page and you shouldn't have that issue.

Hope this helps.

Java's L number (long) specification

To understand why it is necessary to distinguish between int and long literals, consider:

long l = -1 >>> 1;

versus

int a = -1;
long l = a >>> 1;

Now as you would rightly expect, both code fragments give the same value to variable l. Without being able to distinguish int and long literals, what is the interpretation of -1 >>> 1?

-1L >>> 1 // ?

or

(int)-1 >>> 1 // ?

So even if the number is in the common range, we need to specify type. If the default changed with magnitude of the literal, then there would be a weird change in the interpretations of expressions just from changing the digits.

This does not occur for byte, short and char because they are always promoted before performing arithmetic and bitwise operations. Arguably their should be integer type suffixes for use in, say, array initialisation expressions, but there isn't. float uses suffix f and double d. Other literals have unambiguous types, with there being a special type for null.

How do I exit the Vim editor?

This is for the worst-case scenario of exiting Vim if you just want out, have no idea what you've done and you don't care what will happen to the files you opened.

Ctrl-cEnterEnterviEnterCtrl-\Ctrl-n:qa!Enter

This should get you out most of the time.

Some interesting cases where you need something like this:

  • iCtrl-ovg (you enter insert mode, then visual mode and then operator pending mode)

  • QappendEnter

  • iCtrl-ogQCtrl-r=Ctrl-k (thanks to porges for this case)

  • :set insertmode (this is a case when Ctrl-\Ctrl-n returns you to normal mode)


Edit: This answer was corrected due to cases above. It used to be:

EscEscEsc:qa!Enter

However, that doesn't work if you have entered Ex mode. In that case you would need to do:

viEnter:qa!Enter

So a complete command for "I don't want to know what I've done and I don't want to save anything, I just want out now!" would be

viEnterEscEscEsc:qa!Enter

Remove all the elements that occur in one list from another

Sets versus list comprehension benchmark on Python 3.8

(adding up to Moinuddin Quadri's benchmarks)

tldr: Use Arkku's set solution, it's even faster than promised in comparison!

Checking existing files against a list

In my example I found it to be 40 times (!) faster to use Arkku's set solution than the pythonic list comprehension for a real world application of checking existing filenames against a list.

List comprehension:

%%time
import glob
existing = [int(os.path.basename(x).split(".")[0]) for x in glob.glob("*.txt")]
wanted = list(range(1, 100000))
[i for i in wanted if i not in existing]

Wall time: 28.2 s

Sets

%%time
import glob
existing = [int(os.path.basename(x).split(".")[0]) for x in glob.glob("*.txt")]
wanted = list(range(1, 100000))
set(wanted) - set(existing)

Wall time: 689 ms

scale Image in an UIButton to AspectFit?

Background image can actually be set to scale aspect fill pretty easily. Just need to do something like this in a subclass of UIButton:

- (CGRect)backgroundRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    // you'll need the original size of the image, you 
    // can save it from setBackgroundImage:forControlState
    return CGRectFitToFillRect(__original_image_frame_size__, bounds);
}

// Utility function, can be saved elsewhere
CGRect CGRectFitToFillRect( CGRect inRect, CGRect maxRect )
{
    CGFloat origRes = inRect.size.width / inRect.size.height;
    CGFloat newRes = maxRect.size.width / maxRect.size.height;

    CGRect retRect = maxRect;

    if (newRes < origRes)
    {
        retRect.size.width = inRect.size.width * maxRect.size.height / inRect.size.height;
        retRect.origin.x = roundf((maxRect.size.width - retRect.size.width) / 2);
    }
    else
    {
        retRect.size.height = inRect.size.height * maxRect.size.width / inRect.size.width;
        retRect.origin.y = roundf((maxRect.size.height - retRect.size.height) / 2);
    }

    return retRect;

What is the difference between 'git pull' and 'git fetch'?

I like to have some visual representation of the situation to grasp these things. Maybe other developers would like to see it too, so here's my addition. I'm not totally sure that it all is correct, so please comment if you find any mistakes.

                                         LOCAL SYSTEM
                  . =====================================================    
================= . =================  ===================  =============
REMOTE REPOSITORY . REMOTE REPOSITORY  LOCAL REPOSITORY     WORKING COPY
(ORIGIN)          . (CACHED)           
for example,      . mirror of the      
a github repo.    . remote repo
Can also be       .
multiple repo's   .
                  .
                  .
FETCH  *------------------>*
Your local cache of the remote is updated with the origin (or multiple
external sources, that is git's distributed nature)
                  .
PULL   *-------------------------------------------------------->*
changes are merged directly into your local copy. when conflicts occur, 
you are asked for decisions.
                  .
COMMIT            .                             *<---------------*
When coming from, for example, subversion, you might think that a commit
will update the origin. In git, a commit is only done to your local repo.
                  .
PUSH   *<---------------------------------------*
Synchronizes your changes back into the origin.

Some major advantages for having a fetched mirror of the remote are:

  • Performance (scroll through all commits and messages without trying to squeeze it through the network)
  • Feedback about the state of your local repo (for example, I use Atlassian's SourceTree, which will give me a bulb indicating if I'm commits ahead or behind compared to the origin. This information can be updated with a GIT FETCH).

DIV height set as percentage of screen?

By using absolute positioning, you can make <body> or <form> or <div>, fit to your browser page. For example:

<body style="position: absolute; bottom: 0px; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px;">

and then simply put a <div> inside it and use whatever percentage of either height or width you wish

<div id="divContainer" style="height: 100%;">

How to restart a windows service using Task Scheduler

Instead of using a bat file, you can simply create a Scheduled Task. Most of the time you define just one action. In this case, create two actions with the NET command. The first one to stop the service, the second one to start the service. Give them a STOP and START argument, followed by the service name.

In this example we restart the Printer Spooler service.

NET STOP "Print Spooler" 
NET START "Print Spooler"

enter image description here

enter image description here

Note: unfortunately NET RESTART <service name> does not exist.

Getting started with Haskell

If you only have experience with imperative/OO languages, I suggest using a more conventional functional language as a stepping stone. Haskell is really different and you have to understand a lot of different concepts to get anywhere. I suggest tackling a ML-style language (like e.g. F#) first.

Saving an Object (Data persistence)

Quick example using company1 from your question, with python3.

import pickle

# Save the file
pickle.dump(company1, file = open("company1.pickle", "wb"))

# Reload the file
company1_reloaded = pickle.load(open("company1.pickle", "rb"))

However, as this answer noted, pickle often fails. So you should really use dill.

import dill

# Save the file
dill.dump(company1, file = open("company1.pickle", "wb"))

# Reload the file
company1_reloaded = dill.load(open("company1.pickle", "rb"))

Number of lines in a file in Java

It seems that there are a few different approaches you can take with LineNumberReader.

I did this:

int lines = 0;

FileReader input = new FileReader(fileLocation);
LineNumberReader count = new LineNumberReader(input);

String line = count.readLine();

if(count.ready())
{
    while(line != null) {
        lines = count.getLineNumber();
        line = count.readLine();
    }
    
    lines+=1;
}
    
count.close();

System.out.println(lines);

Even more simply, you can use the Java BufferedReader lines() Method to return a stream of the elements, and then use the Stream count() method to count all of the elements. Then simply add one to the output to get the number of rows in the text file.

As example:

FileReader input = new FileReader(fileLocation);
LineNumberReader count = new LineNumberReader(input);

int lines = (int)count.lines().count() + 1;
    
count.close();

System.out.println(lines);

What is the proper way to test if a parameter is empty in a batch file?

Unfortunately I don't have enough reputation to comment or vote on the current answers to I've had to write my own.

Originally the OP's question said "variable" rather than "parameter", which got very confusing, especially as this was the number one link in google for searching how to test for blank variables. Since my original answer, Stephan has edited the original question to use the correct terminology, but rather than deleting my answer I decided to leave it to help clear up any confusion, especially in case google is still sending people here for variables too:

%1 IS NOT A VARABLE! IT IS A COMMAND LINE PARAMETER.

Very important distinction. A single percent sign with a number after it refers to a command line parameter not a variable.

Variables are set using the set command, and are recalled using 2 percent signs - one before and one after. For example %myvar%

To test for an empty variable you use the "if not defined" syntax (commands explicitly for variables do not require any percent signs), for example:

set myvar1=foo  
if not defined myvar1 echo You won't see this because %myvar1% is defined.  
if not defined myvar2 echo You will see this because %myvar2% isn't defined.

(If you want to test command line parameters then I recommend referring to jamesdlin's answer.)

Pointer arithmetic for void pointer in C

Final conclusion: arithmetic on a void* is illegal in both C and C++.

GCC allows it as an extension, see Arithmetic on void- and Function-Pointers (note that this section is part of the "C Extensions" chapter of the manual). Clang and ICC likely allow void* arithmetic for the purposes of compatibility with GCC. Other compilers (such as MSVC) disallow arithmetic on void*, and GCC disallows it if the -pedantic-errors flag is specified, or if the -Werror-pointer-arith flag is specified (this flag is useful if your code base must also compile with MSVC).

The C Standard Speaks

Quotes are taken from the n1256 draft.

The standard's description of the addition operation states:

6.5.6-2: For addition, either both operands shall have arithmetic type, or one operand shall be a pointer to an object type and the other shall have integer type.

So, the question here is whether void* is a pointer to an "object type", or equivalently, whether void is an "object type". The definition for "object type" is:

6.2.5.1: Types are partitioned into object types (types that fully describe objects) , function types (types that describe functions), and incomplete types (types that describe objects but lack information needed to determine their sizes).

And the standard defines void as:

6.2.5-19: The void type comprises an empty set of values; it is an incomplete type that cannot be completed.

Since void is an incomplete type, it is not an object type. Therefore it is not a valid operand to an addition operation.

Therefore you cannot perform pointer arithmetic on a void pointer.

Notes

Originally, it was thought that void* arithmetic was permitted, because of these sections of the C standard:

6.2.5-27: A pointer to void shall have the same representation and alignment requirements as a pointer to a character type.

However,

The same representation and alignment requirements are meant to imply interchangeability as arguments to functions, return values from functions, and members of unions.

So this means that printf("%s", x) has the same meaning whether x has type char* or void*, but it does not mean that you can do arithmetic on a void*.

Editor's note: This answer has been edited to reflect the final conclusion.

How much faster is C++ than C#?

I'm going to start by disagreeing with part of the accepted (and well-upvoted) answer to this question by stating:

There are actually plenty of reasons why JITted code will run slower than a properly optimized C++ (or other language without runtime overhead) program including:

  • compute cycles spent on JITting code at runtime are by definition unavailable for use in program execution.

  • any hot paths in the JITter will be competing with your code for instruction and data cache in the CPU. We know that cache dominates when it comes to performance and native languages like C++ do not have this type of contention, by definition.

  • a run-time optimizer's time budget is necessarily much more constrained than that of a compile-time optimizer's (as another commenter pointed out)

Bottom line: Ultimately, you will almost certainly be able to create a faster implementation in C++ than you could in C#.

Now, with that said, how much faster really isn't quantifiable, as there are too many variables: the task, problem domain, hardware, quality of implementations, and many other factors. You'll have run tests on your scenario to determine the the difference in performance, and then decide whether it is worth the the additional effort and complexity.

This is a very long and complex topic, but I feel it's worth mentioning for the sake of completeness that C#'s runtime optimizer is excellent, and is able to perform certain dynamic optimizations at runtime that are simply not available to C++ with its compile-time (static) optimizer. Even with this, the advantage is still typically deeply in the native application's court, but the dynamic optimizer is the reason for the "almost certainly" qualifier given above.

--

In terms of relative performance, I was also disturbed by the figures and discussions I saw in some other answers, so I thought I'd chime in and at the same time, provide some support for the statements I've made above.

A huge part of the problem with those benchmarks is you can't write C++ code as if you were writing C# and expect to get representative results (eg. performing thousands of memory allocations in C++ is going to give you terrible numbers.)

Instead, I wrote slightly more idiomatic C++ code and compared against the C# code @Wiory provided. The two major changes I made to the C++ code were:

1) used vector::reserve()

2) flattened the 2d array to 1d to achieve better cache locality (contiguous block)

C# (.NET 4.6.1)

private static void TestArray()
{
    const int rows = 5000;
    const int columns = 9000;
    DateTime t1 = System.DateTime.Now;
    double[][] arr = new double[rows][];
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
        arr[i] = new double[columns];
    DateTime t2 = System.DateTime.Now;

    Console.WriteLine(t2 - t1);

    t1 = System.DateTime.Now;
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
            arr[i][j] = i;
    t2 = System.DateTime.Now;

    Console.WriteLine(t2 - t1);
}

Run time (Release): Init: 124ms, Fill: 165ms

C++14 (Clang v3.8/C2)

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

auto TestSuite::ColMajorArray()
{
    constexpr size_t ROWS = 5000;
    constexpr size_t COLS = 9000;

    auto initStart = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();

    auto arr = std::vector<double>();
    arr.reserve(ROWS * COLS);

    auto initFinish = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
    auto initTime = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(initFinish - initStart);

    auto fillStart = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();

    for(auto i = 0, r = 0; r < ROWS; ++r)
    {
        for (auto c = 0; c < COLS; ++c)
        {
            arr[i++] = static_cast<double>(r * c);
        }
    }

    auto fillFinish = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
    auto fillTime = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(fillFinish - fillStart);

    return std::make_pair(initTime, fillTime);
}

Run time (Release): Init: 398µs (yes, that's microseconds), Fill: 152ms

Total Run times: C#: 289ms, C++ 152ms (roughly 90% faster)

Observations

  • Changing the C# implementation to the same 1d array implementation yielded Init: 40ms, Fill: 171ms, Total: 211ms (C++ was still almost 40% faster).

  • It is much harder to design and write "fast" code in C++ than it is to write "regular" code in either language.

  • It's (perhaps) astonishingly easy to get poor performance in C++; we saw that with unreserved vectors performance. And there are lots of pitfalls like this.

  • C#'s performance is rather amazing when you consider all that is going on at runtime. And that performance is comparatively easy to access.

  • More anecdotal data comparing the performance of C++ and C#: https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lang=gpp&lang2=csharpcore

The bottom line is that C++ gives you much more control over performance. Do you want to use a pointer? A reference? Stack memory? Heap? Dynamic polymorphism or eliminate the runtime overhead of a vtable with static polymorphism (via templates/CRTP)? In C++ you have to... er, get to make all these choices (and more) yourself, ideally so that your solution best addresses the problem you're tackling.

Ask yourself if you actually want or need that control, because even for the trivial example above, you can see that although there is a significant improvement in performance, it requires a deeper investment to access.

Just to clarify the answer given by JScoobyCed, the scp command cannot copy files to directories that require administrative permission. However, you can use the scp command to copy to directories that belong to the remote user.

So, to copy to a directory that requires root privileges, you must first copy that file to a directory belonging to the remote user using the scp command. Next, you must login to the remote account using ssh. Once logged in, you can then move the file to the directory of your choosing by using the sudo mv command. In short, the commands to use are as follows:

Using scp, copy file to a directory in the remote user's account, for example the Documents directory:

scp /path/to/your/local/file remoteUser@some_address:/home/remoteUser/Documents

Next, login to the remote user's account using ssh and then move the file to a restricted directory using sudo:

ssh remoteUser@some_address
sudo mv /home/remoteUser/Documents/file /var/www

Ignoring NaNs with str.contains

There's a flag for that:

In [11]: df = pd.DataFrame([["foo1"], ["foo2"], ["bar"], [np.nan]], columns=['a'])

In [12]: df.a.str.contains("foo")
Out[12]:
0     True
1     True
2    False
3      NaN
Name: a, dtype: object

In [13]: df.a.str.contains("foo", na=False)
Out[13]:
0     True
1     True
2    False
3    False
Name: a, dtype: bool

See the str.replace docs:

na : default NaN, fill value for missing values.


So you can do the following:

In [21]: df.loc[df.a.str.contains("foo", na=False)]
Out[21]:
      a
0  foo1
1  foo2

How to fix error "ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python." when trying to install django-heroku using pip

You need to add the package containing the executable pg_config.

A prior answer should have details you need: pg_config executable not found

convert double to int

if you use cast, that is, (int)SomeDouble you will truncate the fractional part. That is, if SomeDouble were 4.9999 the result would be 4, not 5. Converting to int doesn't round the number. If you want rounding use Math.Round

How to remove symbols from a string with Python?

One way, using regular expressions:

>>> s = "how much for the maple syrup? $20.99? That's ridiculous!!!"
>>> re.sub(r'[^\w]', ' ', s)
'how much for the maple syrup   20 99  That s ridiculous   '
  • \w will match alphanumeric characters and underscores

  • [^\w] will match anything that's not alphanumeric or underscore

How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle?

This is how I did this on an existing table and column (named id):

UPDATE table SET id=ROWNUM;
DECLARE

JSON encode MySQL results

My simple fix to stop it putting speech marks around numeric values...

while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)){

                    $r[$elm["key"]]=intval($r[$elm["key"]]);
        }

How to get query string parameter from MVC Razor markup?

It was suggested to post this as an answer, because some other answers are giving errors like 'The name Context does not exist in the current context'.

Just using the following works:

<a href="@Url.Action("Query",new {parm1=Request.Query["queryparm1"]})">GO</a>

Fit Image in ImageButton in Android

You can make your ImageButton widget as I did. In my case, I needed a widget with a fixed icon size. Let's start from custom attributes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="ImageButtonFixedIconSize">
        <attr name="imageButton_icon" format="reference" />
        <attr name="imageButton_iconWidth" format="dimension" />
        <attr name="imageButton_iconHeight" format="dimension" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

Widget class is quite simple (the key point is padding calculations in onLayout method):

class ImageButtonFixedIconSize
@JvmOverloads
constructor(
    context: Context,
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    defStyleAttr: Int = android.R.attr.imageButtonStyle
) : ImageButton(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {

    private lateinit var icon: Drawable

    @Px
    private var iconWidth: Int = 0
    @Px
    private var iconHeight: Int = 0

    init {
        scaleType = ScaleType.FIT_XY
        attrs?.let { retrieveAttributes(it) }
    }

    /**
     *
     */
    override fun onLayout(changed: Boolean, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) {
        val width = right - left
        val height = bottom - top

        val horizontalPadding = if(width > iconWidth) (width - iconWidth) / 2 else 0
        val verticalPadding = if(height > iconHeight) (height - iconHeight) / 2 else 0

        setPadding(horizontalPadding, verticalPadding, horizontalPadding, verticalPadding)

        setImageDrawable(icon)

        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom)
    }

    /**
     *
     */
    private fun retrieveAttributes(attrs: AttributeSet) {
        val typedArray = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.ImageButtonFixedIconSize)

        icon = typedArray.getDrawable(R.styleable.ImageButtonFixedIconSize_imageButton_icon)!!

        iconWidth = typedArray.getDimension(R.styleable.ImageButtonFixedIconSize_imageButton_iconWidth, 0f).toInt()
        iconHeight = typedArray.getDimension(R.styleable.ImageButtonFixedIconSize_imageButton_iconHeight, 0f).toInt()

        typedArray.recycle()
    }
}

And at last you should use your widget like this:

<com.syleiman.gingermoney.ui.common.controls.ImageButtonFixedIconSize
    android:layout_width="90dp"
    android:layout_height="63dp"

    app:imageButton_icon="@drawable/ic_backspace"
    app:imageButton_iconWidth="20dp"
    app:imageButton_iconHeight="15dp"

    android:id="@+id/backspaceButton"
    tools:ignore="ContentDescription"
    />

How to make all controls resize accordingly proportionally when window is maximized?

In WPF there are certain 'container' controls that automatically resize their contents and there are some that don't.

Here are some that do not resize their contents (I'm guessing that you are using one or more of these):

StackPanel
WrapPanel
Canvas
TabControl

Here are some that do resize their contents:

Grid
UniformGrid
DockPanel

Therefore, it is almost always preferable to use a Grid instead of a StackPanel unless you do not want automatic resizing to occur. Please note that it is still possible for a Grid to not size its inner controls... it all depends on your Grid.RowDefinition and Grid.ColumnDefinition settings:

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="100" /> <!--<<< Exact Height... won't resize -->
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <!--<<< Will resize to the size of contents -->
        <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <!--<<< Will resize taking all remaining space -->
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
</Grid>

You can find out more about the Grid control from the Grid Class page on MSDN. You can also find out more about these container controls from the WPF Container Controls Overview page on MSDN.

Further resizing can be achieved using the FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment and FrameworkElement.VerticalAlignment properties. The default value of these properties is Stretch which will stretch elements to fit the size of their containing controls. However, when they are set to any other value, the elements will not stretch.

UPDATE >>>

In response to the questions in your comment:

Use the Grid.RowDefinition and Grid.ColumnDefinition settings to organise a basic structure first... it is common to add Grid controls into the cells of outer Grid controls if need be. You can also use the Grid.ColumnSpan and Grid.RowSpan properties to enable controls to span multiple columns and/or rows of a Grid.

It is most common to have at least one row/column with a Height/Width of "*" which will fill all remaining space, but you can have two or more with this setting, in which case the remaining space will be split between the two (or more) rows/columns. 'Auto' is a good setting to use for the rows/columns that are not set to '"*"', but it really depends on how you want the layout to be.

There is no Auto setting that you can use on the controls in the cells, but this is just as well, because we want the Grid to size the controls for us... therefore, we don't want to set the Height or Width of these controls at all.

The point that I made about the FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment and FrameworkElement.VerticalAlignment properties was just to let you know of their existence... as their default value is already Stretch, you don't generally need to set them explicitly.

The Margin property is generally just used to space your controls out evenly... if you drag and drop controls from the Visual Studio Toolbox, VS will set the Margin property to place your control exactly where you dropped it but generally, this is not what we want as it will mess with the auto sizing of controls. If you do this, then just delete or edit the Margin property to suit your needs.

Where can I get a list of Ansible pre-defined variables?

There are 3 sources of variables in Ansible:

  1. Variables gathered from facts. You can get them by running command: ansible -m setup hostname

  2. Built-in (pre-defined) Ansible variables (AKA 'magic' variables). They are documented in Ansible documentation: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#magic-variables-and-how-to-access-information-about-other-hosts
    Here is the list extracted from Ansible 1.9 documentation:

    • group_names
    • groups
    • inventory_hostname
    • ansible_hostname
    • inventory_hostname_short
    • play_hosts
    • delegate_to
    • inventory_dir
    • inventory_file
  3. Variables passed to ansible via command line. But obviously you know what they are

HTML image not showing in Gmail

In addition to what was said by Howard

You have to keep in mind that Google encodes spaces as + To avoid this, the ulr must be encoded in RFC 3986, which means spaces encoded at %20, for example:

https://example.com/My Folder/image 1.jpg to https://example.com/My%20Folder/image%201.jpg

How to start activity in another application?

If both application have the same signature (meaning that both APPS are yours and signed with the same key), you can call your other app activity as follows:

Intent LaunchIntent = getActivity().getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(CALC_PACKAGE_NAME);
startActivity(LaunchIntent);

Hope it helps.
