Sort Array of object by object field in Angular 6

Try this

products.sort(function (a, b) {
  return a.title.rendered - b.title.rendered;
});

OR

You can import lodash/underscore library, it has many build functions available for manipulating, filtering, sorting the array and all.

Using underscore: (below one is just an example)

import * as _ from 'underscore';
let sortedArray = _.sortBy(array, 'title'); 

Change line width of lines in matplotlib pyplot legend

@ImportanceOfBeingErnest 's answer is good if you only want to change the linewidth inside the legend box. But I think it is a bit more complex since you have to copy the handles before changing legend linewidth. Besides, it can not change the legend label fontsize. The following two methods can not only change the linewidth but also the legend label text font size in a more concise way.

Method 1

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the individual lines inside legend and set line width
for line in leg.get_lines():
    line.set_linewidth(4)
# get label texts inside legend and set font size
for text in leg.get_texts():
    text.set_fontsize('x-large')

plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

Method 2

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# make some data
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi)

y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# plot sin(x) and cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax  = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y1, c='b', label='y1')
ax.plot(x, y2, c='r', label='y2')

leg = plt.legend()
# get the lines and texts inside legend box
leg_lines = leg.get_lines()
leg_texts = leg.get_texts()
# bulk-set the properties of all lines and texts
plt.setp(leg_lines, linewidth=4)
plt.setp(leg_texts, fontsize='x-large')
plt.savefig('leg_example')
plt.show()

The above two methods produce the same output image:

Elasticsearch : Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters index : not_analyzed

I hope the above answer works for elastic search <7.0 but in 7.0 we cannot specify doc type and it is no longer supported. And in that case if we specify doc type we get similar error.

I you are making use of Elastic search 7.0 and Nest C# lastest version(6.6). There are some breaking changes with ES 7.0 which is causing this issue. This is because we cannot specify doc type and in the version 6.6 of NEST they are using doctype. So in order to solve that untill NEST 7.0 is released, we need to download their beta package

Please go through this link for fixing it

https://xyzcoder.github.io/elasticsearch/nest/2019/04/12/es-70-and-nest-mapping-error.html

EDIT: NEST 7.0 is now released. NEST 7.0 works with Elastic 7.0. See the release notes here for details.

What's the difference between Visual Studio Community and other, paid versions?

Visual Studio Community is same (almost) as professional edition. What differs is that VS community do not have TFS features, and the licensing is different. As stated by @Stefan.

The different versions on VS are compared here - https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/compare-visual-studio-2015-products-vs

How to Migrate to WKWebView?

Here is how I transitioned from UIWebView to WKWebView.

Note: There is no property like UIWebView that you can drag onto your storyboard, you have to do it programatically.

Make sure you import WebKit/WebKit.h into your header file.

This is my header file:

#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@property(strong,nonatomic) WKWebView *webView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *productURL;

@end

Here is my implementation file:

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end


@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.productURL = @"http://www.URL YOU WANT TO VIEW GOES HERE";

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:self.productURL];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

    _webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];  
    [_webView loadRequest:request];
    _webView.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x,self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
    [self.view addSubview:_webView];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

How can I have two fixed width columns with one flexible column in the center?

Instead of using width (which is a suggestion when using flexbox), you could use flex: 0 0 230px; which means:

  • 0 = don't grow (shorthand for flex-grow)
  • 0 = don't shrink (shorthand for flex-shrink)
  • 230px = start at 230px (shorthand for flex-basis)

which means: always be 230px.

See fiddle, thanks @TylerH

Oh, and you don't need the justify-content and align-items here.

img {
    max-width: 100%;
}
#container {
    display: flex;
    x-justify-content: space-around;
    x-align-items: stretch;
    max-width: 1200px;
}
.column.left {
    width: 230px;
    flex: 0 0 230px;
}
.column.right {
    width: 230px;
    flex: 0 0 230px;
    border-left: 1px solid #eee;
}
.column.center {
    border-left: 1px solid #eee;
}

Set up Python 3 build system with Sublime Text 3

And to add on to the already solved problem, I had installed Portable Scientific Python on my flash drive E: which on another computer changed to D:, I would get the error "The system cannot find the file specified". So I used parent directory to define the path, like this:

From this:

{
    "cmd": ["E:/WPy64-3720/python-3.7.2.amd64/python.exe", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

To this:

{
    "cmd": ["../../../../WPy64-3720/python-3.7.2.amd64/python.exe","$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

You can modify depending on where your python is installed your python.

How can I change the width and height of slides on Slick Carousel?

I know there is already an answer to this but I just found a better solution using the variableWidth parameter, just set it to true in the settings of each breakpoint, like this:

$('#featured-articles').slick({
  arrows: true,
  autoplay: true,
  autoplaySpeed: 3000,
  dots: true,
  draggable: false,
  fade: true,
  infinite: false,
  responsive: [
  {
    breakpoint: 620,
    settings: {
        arrows: true,
        variableWidth: true
    }
  },
  {
    breakpoint: 345,
    settings: {
        arrows: true,
        variableWidth: true
    }
  }
  ]
});

Removing the title text of an iOS UIBarButtonItem

Just set offset for UIBarButtonItem appearance.

[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(-1000, -1000)

Difference between "as $key => $value" and "as $value" in PHP foreach

The difference is that on the

foreach($featured as $key => $value){
 echo $value['name'];
}

you are able to manipulate the value of each iteration's $key from their key-value pair. Like @djiango answered, if you are not manipulating each value's $key, the result of the loop will be exactly the same as

foreach($featured as $value) {
  echo $value['name']
}

Source: You can read it from the PHP Documentation:

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

The second form will additionally assign the current element's key to the $key variable on >each iteration.


If the data you are manipulating is, say, arrays with custom keys, you could print them to screen like so:

$array = ("name" => "Paul", "age" => 23);

foreach($featured as $key => $value){
 echo $key . "->" . $value;
}

Should print:

name->Paul

age->23

And you wouldn't be able to do that with a foreach($featured as $value) with the same ease. So consider the format above a convenient way to manipulate keys when needed.

Floating Div Over An Image

you might consider using the Relative and Absolute positining.

`.container {  
position: relative;  
}  
.tag {     
position: absolute;   
}`  

I have tested it there, also if you want it to change its position use this as its margin:

top: 20px;
left: 10px;

It will place it 20 pixels from top and 10 pixels from left; but leave this one if not necessary.

How to build & install GLFW 3 and use it in a Linux project

Set auto height and width in CSS/HTML for different screen sizes

///UPDATED DEMO 2 WATCH SOLUTION////

I hope that is the solution you're looking for! DEMO1 DEMO2

With that solution the only scrollbar in the page is on your contents section in the middle! In that section build your structure with a sidebar or whatever you want!

You can do that with that code here:

<div class="navTop">
<h1>Title</h1>
    <nav>Dynamic menu</nav>
</div>
<div class="container">
    <section>THE CONTENTS GOES HERE</section>
</div>
<footer class="bottomFooter">
    Footer
</footer>

With that css:

.navTop{
width:100%;
border:1px solid black;
float:left;
}
.container{
width:100%;
float:left;
overflow:scroll;
}
.bottomFooter{
float:left;
border:1px solid black;
width:100%;
}

And a bit of jquery:

$(document).ready(function() {
  function setHeight() {
    var top = $('.navTop').outerHeight();
    var bottom = $('footer').outerHeight();
    var totHeight = $(window).height();
    $('section').css({ 
      'height': totHeight - top - bottom + 'px'
    });
  }

  $(window).on('resize', function() { setHeight(); });
  setHeight();
});

If you don't want jquery

<div class="row">
    <h1>Title</h1>
    <nav>NAV</nav>
</div>

<div class="row container">
    <div class="content">
        <div class="sidebar">
            SIDEBAR
        </div>
        <div class="contents">
            CONTENTS
        </div>
    </div>
    <footer>Footer</footer>
</div>

Make element fixed on scroll

You can do that with some easy jQuery:

http://jsfiddle.net/jpXjH/6/

var elementPosition = $('#navigation').offset();

$(window).scroll(function(){
        if($(window).scrollTop() > elementPosition.top){
              $('#navigation').css('position','fixed').css('top','0');
        } else {
            $('#navigation').css('position','static');
        }    
});

Crop image in android

This library: Android-Image-Cropper is very powerful to CropImages. It has 3,731 stars on github at this time.

You will crop your images with a few lines of code.

1 - Add the dependecies into buid.gradle (Module: app)

compile 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.7.+'

2 - Add the permissions into AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

3 - Add CropImageActivity into AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name="com.theartofdev.edmodo.cropper.CropImageActivity"
 android:theme="@style/Base.Theme.AppCompat"/>

4 - Start the activity with one of the cases below, depending on your requirements.

// start picker to get image for cropping and then use the image in cropping activity
CropImage.activity()
.setGuidelines(CropImageView.Guidelines.ON)
.start(this);

// start cropping activity for pre-acquired image saved on the device
CropImage.activity(imageUri)
.start(this);

// for fragment (DO NOT use `getActivity()`)
CropImage.activity()
.start(getContext(), this);

5 - Get the result in onActivityResult

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  if (requestCode == CropImage.CROP_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) {
    CropImage.ActivityResult result = CropImage.getActivityResult(data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
      Uri resultUri = result.getUri();
    } else if (resultCode == CropImage.CROP_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_RESULT_ERROR_CODE) {
      Exception error = result.getError();
    }
  }
}

You can do several customizations, as set the Aspect Ratio or the shape to RECTANGLE, OVAL and a lot more.

How to get WordPress post featured image URL

Use:

<?php 
    $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail_size');

    $feature_image_url = $image_src[0]; 
?>

You can change the thumbnail_size value as per your required size.

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

For one, you don't seem to be including jQuery itself in the header but only a bunch of plugins. As for the '<' error, it's impossible to tell without seeing the generated HTML.

how to automatically scroll down a html page?

You can use two different techniques to achieve this.

The first one is with javascript: set the scrollTop property of the scrollable element (e.g. document.body.scrollTop = 1000;).

The second is setting the link to point to a specific id in the page e.g.

<a href="mypage.html#sectionOne">section one</a>

Then if in your target page you'll have that ID the page will be scrolled automatically.

Java GUI frameworks. What to choose? Swing, SWT, AWT, SwingX, JGoodies, JavaFX, Apache Pivot?

Decision tree:

  1. Frameworks like Qt and SWT need native DLLs. So you have to ask yourself: Are all necessary platforms supported? Can you package the native DLLs with your app?

    See here, how to do this for SWT.

    If you have a choice here, you should prefer Qt over SWT. Qt has been developed by people who understand UI and the desktop while SWT has been developed out of necessity to make Eclipse faster. It's more a performance patch for Java 1.4 than a UI framework. Without JFace, you're missing many major UI components or very important features of UI components (like filtering on tables).

    If SWT is missing a feature that you need, the framework is somewhat hostile to extending it. For example, you can't extend any class in it (the classes aren't final, they just throw exceptions when the package of this.getClass() isn't org.eclipse.swt and you can't add new classes in that package because it's signed).

  2. If you need a native, pure Java solution, that leaves you with the rest. Let's start with AWT, Swing, SwingX - the Swing way.

    AWT is outdated. Swing is outdated (maybe less so but not much work has been done on Swing for the past 10 years). You could argue that Swing was good to begin with but we all know that code rots. And that's especially true for UIs today.

    That leaves you with SwingX. After a longer period of slow progress, development has picked up again. The major drawback with Swing is that it hangs on to some old ideas which very kind of bleeding edge 15 years ago but which feel "clumsy" today. For example, the table views do support filtering and sorting but you still have to configure this. You'll have to write a lot of boiler plate code just to get a decent UI that feels modern.

    Another weak area is theming. As of today, there are a lot of themes around. See here for a top 10. But some are slow, some are buggy, some are incomplete. I hate it when I write a UI and users complain that something doesn't work for them because they selected an odd theme.

  3. JGoodies is another layer on top of Swing, like SwingX. It tries to make Swing more pleasant to use. The web site looks great. Let's have a look at the tutorial ... hm ... still searching ... hang on. It seems that there is no documentation on the web site at all. Google to the rescue. Nope, no useful tutorials at all.

    I'm not feeling confident with a UI framework that tries so hard to hide the documentation from potential new fans. That doesn't mean JGoodies is bad; I just couldn't find anything good to say about it but that it looks nice.

  4. JavaFX. Great, stylish. Support is there but I feel it's more of a shiny toy than a serious UI framework. This feeling roots in the lack of complex UI components like tree tables. There is a webkit-based component to display HTML.

    When it was introduced, my first thought was "five years too late." If your aim is a nice app for phones or web sites, good. If your aim is professional desktop application, make sure it delivers what you need.

  5. Pivot. First time I heard about it. It's basically a new UI framework based on Java2D. So I gave it a try yesterday. No Swing, just tiny bit of AWT (new Font(...)).

    My first impression was a nice one. There is an extensive documentation that helps you getting started. Most of the examples come with live demos (Note: You must have Java enabled in your web browser; this is a security risk) in the web page, so you can see the code and the resulting application side by side.

    In my experience, more effort goes into code than into documentation. By looking at the Pivot docs, a lot of effort must have went into the code. Note that there is currently a bug which prevents some of the examples to work (PIVOT-858) in your browser.

    My second impression of Pivot is that it's easy to use. When I ran into a problem, I could usually solve it quickly by looking at an example. I'm missing a reference of all the styles which each component supports, though.

    As with JavaFX, it's missing some higher level components like a tree table component (PIVOT-306). I didn't try lazy loading with the table view. My impression is that if the underlying model uses lazy loading, then that's enough.

    Promising. If you can, give it a try.

CodeIgniter: Load controller within controller

With the following code you can load the controller classes and execute the methods.

This code was written for codeigniter 2.1

First add a new file MY_Loader.php in your application/core directory. Add the following code to your newly created MY_Loader.php file:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

// written by AJ  [email protected]

class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader 
{
    protected $_my_controller_paths     = array();  

    protected $_my_controllers          = array();


    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->_my_controller_paths = array(APPPATH);
    }

    public function controller($controller, $name = '', $db_conn = FALSE)
    {
        if (is_array($controller))
        {
            foreach ($controller as $babe)
            {
                $this->controller($babe);
            }
            return;
        }

        if ($controller == '')
        {
            return;
        }

        $path = '';

        // Is the controller in a sub-folder? If so, parse out the filename and path.
        if (($last_slash = strrpos($controller, '/')) !== FALSE)
        {
            // The path is in front of the last slash
            $path = substr($controller, 0, $last_slash + 1);

            // And the controller name behind it
            $controller = substr($controller, $last_slash + 1);
        }

        if ($name == '')
        {
            $name = $controller;
        }

        if (in_array($name, $this->_my_controllers, TRUE))
        {
            return;
        }

        $CI =& get_instance();
        if (isset($CI->$name))
        {
            show_error('The controller name you are loading is the name of a resource that is already being used: '.$name);
        }

        $controller = strtolower($controller);

        foreach ($this->_my_controller_paths as $mod_path)
        {
            if ( ! file_exists($mod_path.'controllers/'.$path.$controller.'.php'))
            {
                continue;
            }

            if ($db_conn !== FALSE AND ! class_exists('CI_DB'))
            {
                if ($db_conn === TRUE)
                {
                    $db_conn = '';
                }

                $CI->load->database($db_conn, FALSE, TRUE);
            }

            if ( ! class_exists('CI_Controller'))
            {
                load_class('Controller', 'core');
            }

            require_once($mod_path.'controllers/'.$path.$controller.'.php');

            $controller = ucfirst($controller);

            $CI->$name = new $controller();

            $this->_my_controllers[] = $name;
            return;
        }

        // couldn't find the controller
        show_error('Unable to locate the controller you have specified: '.$controller);
    }

}

Now you can load all the controllers in your application/controllers directory. for example:

load the controller class Invoice and execute the function test()

$this->load->controller('invoice','invoice_controller');

$this->invoice_controller->test();

or when the class is within a dir

$this->load->controller('/dir/invoice','invoice_controller');

$this->invoice_controller->test();

It just works the same like loading a model

jQuery $(".class").click(); - multiple elements, click event once

your event is triggered only once... so this code may work try this

    $(".addproduct,.addproduct,.addproduct,.addproduct,.addproduct").click(function(){//do     something fired 5 times});

Find and replace words/lines in a file

Any decent text editor has a search&replace facility that supports regular expressions.

If however, you have reason to reinvent the wheel in Java, you can do:

Path path = Paths.get("test.txt");
Charset charset = StandardCharsets.UTF_8;

String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(path), charset);
content = content.replaceAll("foo", "bar");
Files.write(path, content.getBytes(charset));

This only works for Java 7 or newer. If you are stuck on an older Java, you can do:

String content = IOUtils.toString(new FileInputStream(myfile), myencoding);
content = content.replaceAll(myPattern, myReplacement);
IOUtils.write(content, new FileOutputStream(myfile), myencoding);

In this case, you'll need to add error handling and close the streams after you are done with them.

IOUtils is documented at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/io/IOUtils.html

HorizontalScrollView within ScrollView Touch Handling

I think I found a simpler solution, only this uses a subclass of ViewPager instead of (its parent) ScrollView.

UPDATE 2013-07-16: I added an override for onTouchEvent as well. It could possibly help with the issues mentioned in the comments, although YMMV.

public class UninterceptableViewPager extends ViewPager {

    public UninterceptableViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        boolean ret = super.onInterceptTouchEvent(ev);
        if (ret)
            getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        return ret;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
        boolean ret = super.onTouchEvent(ev);
        if (ret)
            getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
        return ret;
    }
}

This is similar to the technique used in android.widget.Gallery's onScroll(). It is further explained by the Google I/O 2013 presentation Writing Custom Views for Android.

Update 2013-12-10: A similar approach is also described in a post from Kirill Grouchnikov about the (then) Android Market app.

Best way to do a PHP switch with multiple values per case?

maybe

        switch ($variable) {
        case 0:
            exit;
            break;
        case (1 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6):
            die(var_dump('expression'));
        default:
            die(var_dump('default'));
            # code...
            break;
    }

Creating executable files in Linux

What you describe is the correct way to handle this.

You said that you want to stay in the GUI. You can usually set the execute bit through the file properties menu. You could also learn how to create a custom action for the context menu to do this for you if you're so inclined. This depends on your desktop environment of course.

If you use a more advanced editor, you can script the action to happen when the file is saved. For example (I'm only really familiar with vim), you could add this to your .vimrc to make any new file that starts with "#!/*/bin/*" executable.

au BufWritePost * if getline(1) =~ "^#!" | if getline(1) =~ "/bin/" | silent !chmod +x <afile> | endif | endif

What is IPV6 for localhost and 0.0.0.0?

As we all know that IPv4 address for localhost is 127.0.0.1 (loopback address).

Actually, any IPv4 address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a loopback address.

In IPv6, the direct analog of the loopback range is ::1/128. So ::1 (long form 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) is the one and only IPv6 loopback address.


While the hostname localhost will normally resolve to 127.0.0.1 or ::1, I have seen cases where someone has bound it to an IP address that is not a loopback address. This is a bit crazy ... but sometimes people do it.

I say "this is crazy" because you are liable to break applications assumptions by doing this; e.g. an application may attempt to do a reverse lookup on the loopback IP and not get the expected result. In the worst case, an application may end up sending sensitive traffic over an insecure network by accident ... though you probably need to make other mistakes as well to "achieve" that.


Blocking 0.0.0.0 makes no sense. In IPv4 it is never routed. The equivalent in IPv6 is the :: address (long form 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) ... which is also never routed.

The 0.0.0.0 and :: addresses are reserved to mean "any address". So, for example a program that is providing a web service may bind to 0.0.0.0 port 80 to accept HTTP connections via any of the host's IPv4 addresses. These addresses are not valid as a source or destination address for an IP packet.


Finally, some comments were asking about ::/128 versus ::/0 versus ::.

What is this difference?

Strictly speaking, the first two are CIDR notation not IPv6 addresses. They are actually specifying a range of IP addresses. A CIDR consists of a IP address and an additional number that specifies the number of bits in a netmask. The two together specify a range of addresses; i.e. the set of addresses formed by ignoring the bits masked out of the given address.

So:

  • :: means just the IPv6 address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0
  • ::/128 means 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 with a netmask consisting of 128 bits. This gives a network range with exactly one address in it.
  • ::/0 means 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 with a netmask consisting of 0 bits. This gives a network range with 2128 addresses in it.; i.e. it is the entire IPv6 address space!

For more information, read the Wikipedia pages on IPv4 & IPv6 addresses, and CIDR notation:

How to check if a string array contains one string in JavaScript?

This will do it for you:

function inArray(needle, haystack) {
    var length = haystack.length;
    for(var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        if(haystack[i] == needle)
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

I found it in Stack Overflow question JavaScript equivalent of PHP's in_array().

What does the question mark and the colon (?: ternary operator) mean in objective-c?

This is the C ternary operator (Objective-C is a superset of C):

label.frame = (inPseudoEditMode) ? kLabelIndentedRect : kLabelRect;

is semantically equivalent to

if(inPseudoEditMode) {
 label.frame = kLabelIndentedRect;
} else {
 label.frame = kLabelRect;
}

The ternary with no first element (e.g. variable ?: anotherVariable) means the same as (valOrVar != 0) ? valOrVar : anotherValOrVar

Vim: How to insert in visual block mode?

Try this

After selecting a block of text, press Shift+i or capital I.

Lowercase i will not work.

Then type the things you want and finally to apply it to all lines, press Esc twice.




If this doesn't work...

Check if you have +visualextra enabled in your version of Vim.

You can do this by typing in :ver and scrolling through the list of features. (You might want to copy and paste it into a buffer and do incremental search because the format is odd.)

Enabling it is outside the scope of this question but I'm sure you can find it somewhere.

Parsing ISO 8601 date in Javascript

datejs could parse following, you might want to try out.

Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:15')           // ISO 8601 Formats
Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00')     // ISO 8601 with Timezone offset

Edit: Regex version

x = "2011-01-28T19:30:00EST"

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

xx = x.replace(
    /(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):\d{2}(\w{3})/,
    function($0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6){
        return MM[$2-1]+" "+$3+", "+$1+" - "+$4%12+":"+$5+(+$4>12?"PM":"AM")+" "+$6
    }
)

Result

January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST

Edit2: I changed my timezone to EST and now I got following

x = "2011-01-28T19:30:00-05:00"

MM = {Jan:"January", Feb:"February", Mar:"March", Apr:"April", May:"May", Jun:"June", Jul:"July", Aug:"August", Sep:"September", Oct:"October", Nov:"November", Dec:"December"}

xx = String(new Date(x)).replace(

How to get MAC address of your machine using a C program?

  1. On Linux, use the service of "Network Manager" over the DBus.

  2. There is also good'ol shell program which can be invoke and the result grabbed (use an exec function under C):

$ /sbin/ifconfig | grep HWaddr

writing to serial port from linux command line

echo '\x12\x02'

will not be interpreted, and will literally write the string \x12\x02 (and append a newline) to the specified serial port. Instead use

echo -n ^R^B

which you can construct on the command line by typing CtrlVCtrlR and CtrlVCtrlB. Or it is easier to use an editor to type into a script file.

The stty command should work, unless another program is interfering. A common culprit is gpsd which looks for GPS devices being plugged in.

How do you keep parents of floated elements from collapsing?

I usually use the overflow: auto trick; although that's not, strictly speaking, the intended use for overflow, it is kinda related - enough to make it easy to remember, certainly. The meaning of float: left itself has been extended for various uses more significantly than overflow is in this example, IMO.

Calculating how many days are between two dates in DB2?

I think that @Siva is on the right track (using DAYS()), but the nested CONCAT()s are making me dizzy. Here's my take.
Oh, there's no point in referencing sysdummy1, as you need to pull from a table regardless.
Also, don't use the implicit join syntax - it's considered an SQL Anti-pattern.

I'be wrapped the date conversion in a CTE for readability here, but there's nothing preventing you from doing it inline.

WITH Converted (convertedDate) as (SELECT DATE(SUBSTR(chdlm, 1, 4) || '-' ||
                                               SUBSTR(chdlm, 5, 2) || '-' ||    
                                               SUBSTR(chdlm, 7, 2))
                                   FROM Chcart00
                                   WHERE chstat = '05')

SELECT DAYS(CURRENT_DATE) - DAYS(convertedDate)
FROM Converted

Python division

It has to do with the version of python that you use. Basically it adopts the C behavior: if you divide two integers, the results will be rounded down to an integer. Also keep in mind that Python does the operations from left to right, which plays a role when you typecast.

Example: Since this is a question that always pops in my head when I am doing arithmetic operations (should I convert to float and which number), an example from that aspect is presented:

>>> a = 1/2/3/4/5/4/3
>>> a
0

When we divide integers, not surprisingly it gets lower rounded.

>>> a = 1/2/3/4/5/4/float(3)
>>> a
0.0

If we typecast the last integer to float, we will still get zero, since by the time our number gets divided by the float has already become 0 because of the integer division.

>>> a = 1/2/3/float(4)/5/4/3
>>> a
0.0

Same scenario as above but shifting the float typecast a little closer to the left side.

>>> a = float(1)/2/3/4/5/4/3
>>> a
0.0006944444444444445

Finally, when we typecast the first integer to float, the result is the desired one, since beginning from the first division, i.e. the leftmost one, we use floats.

Extra 1: If you are trying to answer that to improve arithmetic evaluation, you should check this

Extra 2: Please be careful of the following scenario:

>>> a = float(1/2/3/4/5/4/3)
>>> a
0.0

Java math function to convert positive int to negative and negative to positive?

Necromancing here.
Obviously, x *= -1; is far too simple.

Instead, we could use a trivial binary complement:

number = ~(number - 1) ;

Like this:

import java.io.*;

/* Name of the class has to be "Main" only if the class is public. */
class Ideone
{
    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        int iPositive = 15;
        int iNegative = ( ~(iPositive - 1) ) ; // Use extra brackets when using as C preprocessor directive ! ! !...
        System.out.println(iNegative);

        iPositive =  ~(iNegative - 1)  ;
        System.out.println(iPositive);

        iNegative = 0;
        iPositive = ~(iNegative - 1);
        System.out.println(iPositive);


    }
}

That way we can ensure that mediocre programmers don't understand what's going on ;)

Configure WAMP server to send email

Select the values of one property on all objects of an array in PowerShell

Caution, member enumeration only works if the collection itself has no member of the same name. So if you had an array of FileInfo objects, you couldn't get an array of file lengths by using

 $files.length # evaluates to array length

And before you say "well obviously", consider this. If you had an array of objects with a capacity property then

 $objarr.capacity

would work fine UNLESS $objarr were actually not an [Array] but, for example, an [ArrayList]. So before using member enumeration you might have to look inside the black box containing your collection.

(Note to moderators: this should be a comment on rageandqq's answer but I don't yet have enough reputation.)

How to compare two Carbon Timestamps?

First, convert the timestamp using the built-in eloquent functionality, as described in this answer.

Then you can just use Carbon's min() or max() function for comparison. For example:

$dt1 = Carbon::create(2012, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0); $dt2 = Carbon::create(2014, 1, 30, 0, 0, 0); echo $dt1->min($dt2);

This will echo the lesser of the two dates, which in this case is $dt1.

OnClick in Excel VBA

In order to trap repeated clicks on the same cell, you need to move the focus to a different cell, so that each time you click, you are in fact moving the selection.

The code below will select the top left cell visible on the screen, when you click on any cell. Obviously, it has the flaw that it won't trap a click on the top left cell, but that can be managed (eg by selecting the top right cell if the activecell is the top left).

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  'put your code here to process the selection, then..
  ActiveWindow.VisibleRange.Cells(1, 1).Select

How is a CRC32 checksum calculated?

For IEEE802.3, CRC-32. Think of the entire message as a serial bit stream, append 32 zeros to the end of the message. Next, you MUST reverse the bits of EVERY byte of the message and do a 1's complement the first 32 bits. Now divide by the CRC-32 polynomial, 0x104C11DB7. Finally, you must 1's complement the 32-bit remainder of this division bit-reverse each of the 4 bytes of the remainder. This becomes the 32-bit CRC that is appended to the end of the message.

The reason for this strange procedure is that the first Ethernet implementations would serialize the message one byte at a time and transmit the least significant bit of every byte first. The serial bit stream then went through a serial CRC-32 shift register computation, which was simply complemented and sent out on the wire after the message was completed. The reason for complementing the first 32 bits of the message is so that you don't get an all zero CRC even if the message was all zeros.

Compare two dates with JavaScript

Say you got the date objects A and B, get their EPOC time value, then subtract to get the difference in milliseconds.

        self.work_list = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
        self.generated_list = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
        start = 10
        end = 100
        for cmb in range(2, len(str(self.how_much)) + 1):
            self.ListOfCombinations(is_upper_then=start, is_under_then=end, combinations=cmb)
            start *= 10
            end *= 10

    def __call__(self, number, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.generated_list[number]

    def ListOfCombinations(self, is_upper_then, is_under_then, combinations):
        multi_work_list = eval(str('self.work_list,') * combinations)
        nbr = 0
        for subset in itertools.product(*multi_work_list):

                if self.how_much == nbr:
                    break
            nbr += 1

and to run it:

Is either GET or POST more secure than the other?

Neither one magically confers security on a request, however GET implies some side effects that generally prevent it from being secure.

GET URLs show up in browser history and webserver logs. For this reason, they should never be used for things like login forms and credit card numbers.

However, just POSTing that data doesn't make it secure, either. For that you want SSL. Both GET and POST send data in plaintext over the wire when used over HTTP.

There are other good reasons to POST data, too - like the ability to submit unlimited amounts of data, or hide parameters from casual users.

The downside is that users can't bookmark the results of a query sent via POST. For that, you need GET.

What's the difference between equal?, eql?, ===, and ==?

How to update a plot in matplotlib?

How can I conditionally import an ES6 module?

We do have dynamic imports proposal now with ECMA. This is in stage 3. This is also available as babel-preset.

Following is way to do conditional rendering as per your case.

    .then((something) => {
       console.log(something.something);
    });
}

This basically returns a promise. Resolution of promise is expected to have the module. The proposal also have other features like multiple dynamic imports, default imports, js file import etc. You can find more information about dynamic imports here.

No tests found for given includes Error, when running Parameterized Unit test in Android Studio

I was also facing the same problem. In My case, I am using JUnit 5 with gradle 6.6. I am managing integration test-cases in a separate folder call integ. I have to define a new task in build.gradle file and after adding first line -> useJUnitPlatform() , My problem got solved

How to refresh activity after changing language (Locale) inside application

This approach will work on all API level device.

  1. Use Base Activity for attachBaseContext to set the locale language and extend this activity for all activities

    open class  BaseAppCompactActivity() : AppCompatActivity() {
    
        override fun attachBaseContext(newBase: Context) {
            super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(newBase))    
        }
    
        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)           
        }
    }
    
  2. Use Application attachBaseContext and onConfigurationChanged to set the locale language

    public class MyApplication extends Application {
        private static MyApplication application;
    
        @Override
        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
        }
    
        public static MyApplication getApplication() {
            return application;
        }
    
        /**
         * overide to change local sothat language can be chnaged from android device  nogaut and above
         */
        @Override
        protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
            super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.INSTANCE.onAttach(base));
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
            setLanguageFromNewConfig(newConfig);
            super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        }
    
        /*** also handle chnage  language if  device language chnaged **/
        private void setLanguageFromNewConfig(Configuration newConfig){
            Prefs.putSaveLocaleLanguage(this,  selectedLocaleLanguage );
            LocaleHelper.INSTANCE.onAttach(this);
        }
    
  3. Use Locale Helper for handling language changes, this approach work on all device

    object LocaleHelper {
        private var defaultLanguage  :String = KycUtility.KYC_LANGUAGE.ENGLISH.languageCode
    
        fun onAttach(context: Context, defaultLanguage: String): Context {
            return setLocale(context, defaultLanguage)
        }
    
    
    
        fun setLocale(context: Context, language: String): Context {
            return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
                updateResources(context, language)
            } else updateResourcesLegacy(context, language)
    
        }
    
    
        @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
        private fun updateResources(context: Context, language: String): Context {
            val locale = Locale(language)
            Locale.setDefault(locale)
    
            val configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration()
            configuration.setLocale(locale)
            configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale)
    
            return context.createConfigurationContext(configuration)
        }
    
        private fun updateResourcesLegacy(context: Context, language: String): Context {
            val locale = Locale(language)
            Locale.setDefault(locale)
    
            val resources = context.getResources()
    
            val configuration = resources.getConfiguration()
            configuration.locale = locale
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
                configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale)
            }
            resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics())
            return context
        }
    }
    

get string value from HashMap depending on key name

If you are storing keys/values as strings, then this will work:

HashMap<String, String> newMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
newMap.put("my_code", "shhh_secret");
String value = newMap.get("my_code");

The question is what gets populated in the HashMap (key & value)

How to convert a 3D point into 2D perspective projection?

To obtain the perspective-corrected co-ordinates, just divide by the z co-ordinate:

xc = x / z
yc = y / z

The above works assuming that the camera is at (0, 0, 0) and you are projecting onto the plane at z = 1 -- you need to translate the co-ords relative to the camera otherwise.

There are some complications for curves, insofar as projecting the points of a 3D Bezier curve will not in general give you the same points as drawing a 2D Bezier curve through the projected points.

What's the best UML diagramming tool?

For me it's Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. A very rounded UML tool for a very reasonable price.

Very strong feature list including: integrated project management, baselining, export/import (including export to html), documentation generation from the model, various templates (Zachman, TOGAF, etc.), IDE plugins, code generation (with IDE plugins available for Visual Studio, Eclipse & others), automation API - the list goes on.

Oh yeah, don't forget support for source control directly from inside the tool (SVN, CVS, TFS & SCC).

I would also stay away from Visio - you only get diagrams, not a model. Rename a class in one place in a UML modelling tool and you rename in all places. This is not the case in Visio!

Disabling user input for UITextfield in swift

I like to do it like old times. You just use a custom UITextField Class like this one:

//
//  ReadOnlyTextField.swift
//  MediFormulas
//
//  Created by Oscar Rodriguez on 6/21/17.
//  Copyright © 2017 Nica Code. All rights reserved.
//

import UIKit

class ReadOnlyTextField: UITextField {

    /*
    // Only override draw() if you perform custom drawing.
    // An empty implementation adversely affects performance during animation.
    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        // Drawing code
    }
    */

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        // Avoid keyboard to show up
        self.inputView = UIView()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        // Avoid keyboard to show up
        self.inputView = UIView()
    }

    override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
        // Avoid cut and paste option show up
        if (action == #selector(self.cut(_:))) {
            return false
        } else if (action == #selector(self.paste(_:))) {
            return false
        }

        return super.canPerformAction(action, withSender: sender)
    }

}

Deleting Elements in an Array if Element is a Certain value VBA

I know this is old, but here's the solution I came up with when I didn't like the ones I found.

-Loop through the array (Variant) adding each element and some divider to a string, unless it matches the one you want to remove -Then split the string on the divider

tmpString=""
For Each arrElem in GlobalArray
   If CStr(arrElem) = "removeThis" Then
      GoTo SkipElem
   Else
      tmpString =tmpString & ":-:" & CStr(arrElem)
   End If
SkipElem:
Next
GlobalArray = Split(tmpString, ":-:")

Obviously the use of strings creates some limitations, like needing to be sure of the information already in the array, and as-is this code makes the first array element blank, but it does what I need and with a little more work it could be more versatile.

What is the most compatible way to install python modules on a Mac?

When you install modules with MacPorts, it does not go into Apple's version of Python. Instead those modules are installed onto the MacPorts version of Python selected.

You can change which version of Python is used by default using a mac port called python_select. instructions here.

Also, there's easy_install. Which will use python to install python modules.

JSON to pandas DataFrame

The problem is that you have several columns in the data frame that contain dicts with smaller dicts inside them. Useful Json is often heavily nested. I have been writing small functions that pull the info I want out into a new column. That way I have it in the format that I want to use.

for row in range(len(data)):
    #First I load the dict (one at a time)
    n = data.loc[row,'dict_column']
    #Now I make a new column that pulls out the data that I want.
    data.loc[row,'new_column'] = n.get('key')

Making HTTP Requests using Chrome Developer tools

I had the best luck combining two of the answers above. Navigate to the site in Chrome, then find the request on the Network tab of DevTools. Right click the request and Copy, but Copy as fetch instead of cURL. You can paste the fetch code directly into the DevTools console and edit it, instead of using the command line.

Why is a div with "display: table-cell;" not affected by margin?

You can use inner divs to set the margin.

<div style="display: table-cell;">
   <div style="margin:5px;background-color: red;">1</div>
</div>
<div style="display: table-cell; ">
  <div style="margin:5px;background-color: green;">1</div>
</div>

How can I pass a Bitmap object from one activity to another

Because Intent has size limit . I use public static object to do pass bitmap from service to broadcast ....

public class ImageBox {
    public static Queue<Bitmap> mQ = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Bitmap>(); 
}

pass in my service

private void downloadFile(final String url){
        mExecutorService.submit(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Bitmap b = BitmapFromURL.getBitmapFromURL(url);
                synchronized (this){
                    TaskCount--;
                }
                Intent i = new Intent(ACTION_ON_GET_IMAGE);
                ImageBox.mQ.offer(b);
                sendBroadcast(i);
                if(TaskCount<=0)stopSelf();
            }
        });
    }

My BroadcastReceiver

private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            LOG.d(TAG, "BroadcastReceiver get broadcast");

            String action = intent.getAction();
            if (DownLoadImageService.ACTION_ON_GET_IMAGE.equals(action)) {
                Bitmap b = ImageBox.mQ.poll();
                if(b==null)return;
                if(mListener!=null)mListener.OnGetImage(b);
            }
        }
    };

How to insert a new key value pair in array in php?

If you are creating new array then try this :

$arr = ['key' => 'value'];

And if array is already created then try this :

$arr['key'] = 'value';

Read String line by line

You can also use:

String[] lines = someString.split("\n");

If that doesn't work try replacing \n with \r\n.

Converting ArrayList to Array in java

package com.v4common.shared.beans.audittrail;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class test1 {
    public static void main(String arg[]){
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        list.add("abcd#xyz");
        list.add("mnop#qrs");

        Object[] s = list.toArray();

How to pass a parameter to Vue @click event handler

When you are using Vue directives, the expressions are evaluated in the context of Vue, so you don't need to wrap things in {}.

@click is just shorthand for v-on:click directive so the same rules apply.

In your case, simply use @click="addToCount(item.contactID)"

WPF: Create a dialog / prompt

Great answer of Josh, all credit to him, I slightly modified it to this however:

MyDialog Xaml

    <StackPanel Margin="5,5,5,5">
        <TextBlock Name="TitleTextBox" Margin="0,0,0,10" />
        <TextBox Name="InputTextBox" Padding="3,3,3,3" />
        <Grid Margin="0,10,0,0">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <Button Name="BtnOk" Content="OK" Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,5,0" Padding="8" Click="BtnOk_Click" />
            <Button Name="BtnCancel" Content="Cancel" Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,0,0,0" Padding="8" Click="BtnCancel_Click" />
        </Grid>
    </StackPanel>

MyDialog Code Behind

    public MyDialog()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public MyDialog(string title,string input)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        TitleText = title;
        InputText = input;
    }

    public string TitleText
    {
        get { return TitleTextBox.Text; }
        set { TitleTextBox.Text = value; }
    }

    public string InputText
    {
        get { return InputTextBox.Text; }
        set { InputTextBox.Text = value; }
    }

    public bool Canceled { get; set; }

    private void BtnCancel_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Canceled = true;
        Close();
    }

    private void BtnOk_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Canceled = false;
        Close();
    }

And call it somewhere else

var dialog = new MyDialog("test", "hello");
dialog.Show();
dialog.Closing += (sender,e) =>
{
    var d = sender as MyDialog;
    if(!d.Canceled)
        MessageBox.Show(d.InputText);
}

How to Generate Unique ID in Java (Integer)?

How unique does it need to be?

If it's only unique within a process, then you can use an AtomicInteger and call incrementAndGet() each time you need a new value.

Where could I buy a valid SSL certificate?

You are really asking a couple of questions here:

1) Why does the price of SSL certificates vary so much

2) Where can I get good, cheap SSL certificates?

The first question is a good one. For example, the type of SSL certificate you buy is important. Many SSL certificates are domain verified only - that is, the company issuing the certificate only validate that you own the domain. They don't validate your identity, so people visiting your site might know that the domain has a SSL certificate, but that doesn't mean the person behing the website isn't a scammer or phisher, for example. This is why the Verisign solution is much more expensive - you are getting a cert that not only secures your site, but validates the identity of the owner of the site (well, that's the claim).

You can read more on this subject here

For your second question, I can personally recommend RapidSSL. I've bought several certificates from them in the past and they are, well, rapid. However, you should always do your research first. A company based in France might be better for you to deal with as you can get support in your local hours, etc.

Apache won't run in xampp

I had the same kind of problems. I finally made it to work.

I successfully changed the apache ports to listen to ports not used by other programs Port 443 is used by SSL and Skype

I believe that the XAMPP Control Panel has a bug and I have screen shots in my posts to. I do not have enough credibility on this web site to upload pictures.

I have the whole thing written down with screen shots in the following blog posts:

Error to run Android Studio

The problem is a bug on Fedora 20. The bug is very odd: if I have Google Talk plugin installed then Eclipse crashes (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334466). It's crazy for me. I thought that was Java version and with Java 6 my eclipse was still crashing. To solve this I should use gnome/GTK instead KDE. Now it works "well" (in gnome environment). Thanks for all answers.

Converting a Pandas GroupBy output from Series to DataFrame

I want to slightly change the answer given by Wes, because version 0.16.2 requires as_index=False. If you don't set it, you get an empty dataframe.

Source:

Aggregation functions will not return the groups that you are aggregating over if they are named columns, when as_index=True, the default. The grouped columns will be the indices of the returned object.

Passing as_index=False will return the groups that you are aggregating over, if they are named columns.

Aggregating functions are ones that reduce the dimension of the returned objects, for example: mean, sum, size, count, std, var, sem, describe, first, last, nth, min, max. This is what happens when you do for example DataFrame.sum() and get back a Series.

nth can act as a reducer or a filter, see here.

import pandas as pd

df1 = pd.DataFrame({"Name":["Alice", "Bob", "Mallory", "Mallory", "Bob" , "Mallory"],
                    "City":["Seattle","Seattle","Portland","Seattle","Seattle","Portland"]})
print df1
#
#       City     Name
#0   Seattle    Alice
#1   Seattle      Bob
#2  Portland  Mallory
#3   Seattle  Mallory
#4   Seattle      Bob
#5  Portland  Mallory
#
g1 = df1.groupby(["Name", "City"], as_index=False).count()
print g1
#
#                  City  Name
#Name    City
#Alice   Seattle      1     1
#Bob     Seattle      2     2
#Mallory Portland     2     2
#        Seattle      1     1
#

EDIT:

In version 0.17.1 and later you can use subset in count and reset_index with parameter name in size:

print df1.groupby(["Name", "City"], as_index=False ).count()
#IndexError: list index out of range

print df1.groupby(["Name", "City"]).count()
#Empty DataFrame
#Columns: []
#Index: [(Alice, Seattle), (Bob, Seattle), (Mallory, Portland), (Mallory, Seattle)]

print df1.groupby(["Name", "City"])[['Name','City']].count()
#                  Name  City
#Name    City                
#Alice   Seattle      1     1
#Bob     Seattle      2     2
#Mallory Portland     2     2
#        Seattle      1     1

print df1.groupby(["Name", "City"]).size().reset_index(name='count')
#      Name      City  count
#0    Alice   Seattle      1
#1      Bob   Seattle      2
#2  Mallory  Portland      2
#3  Mallory   Seattle      1

The difference between count and size is that size counts NaN values while count does not.

Can not deserialize instance of java.lang.String out of START_OBJECT token

If you do not want to define a separate class for nested json , Defining nested json object as JsonNode should work ,for example :

Copy folder recursively, excluding some folders

inspired by @SteveLazaridis's answer, which would fail, here is a POSIX shell function - just copy and paste into a file named cpx in yout $PATH and make it executible (chmod a+x cpr). [Source is now maintained in my GitLab.

#!/bin/sh

# usage: cpx [-n|--dry-run] "from_path" "to_path" "newline_separated_exclude_list"
# limitations: only excludes from "from_path", not it's subdirectories

cpx() {
# run in subshell to avoid collisions
  (_CopyWithExclude "$@")
}

_CopyWithExclude() {
  case "$1" in
    -n|--dry-run) { DryRun='echo'; shift; } ;;
  esac

  from="$1"
  to="$2"
  exclude="$3"

  $DryRun mkdir -p "$to"

  if [ -z "$exclude" ]; then
      cp "$from" "$to"
      return
  fi

  ls -A1 "$from" \
    | while IFS= read -r f; do
        unset excluded
        if [ -n "$exclude" ]; then

          done
        fi

How to navigate to to different directories in the terminal (mac)?

To check that the file you're trying to open actually exists, you can change directories in terminal using cd. To change to ~/Desktop/sass/css: cd ~/Desktop/sass/css. To see what files are in the directory: ls.

If you want information about either of those commands, use the man page: man cd or man ls, for example.

Google for "basic unix command line commands" or similar; that will give you numerous examples of moving around, viewing files, etc in the command line.

On Mac OS X, you can also use open to open a finder window: open . will open the current directory in finder. (open ~/Desktop/sass/css will open the ~/Desktop/sass/css).

how we add or remove readonly attribute from textbox on clicking radion button in cakephp using jquery?

You could use prop as well. Check the following code below.

     if(rBtnVal == "yes"){
         $("#no_of_staff").prop("readonly", false); 
     }
     else{ 
         $("#no_of_staff").prop("readonly", true); 
     }

Sort Java Collection

Use a Comparator:

List<CustomObject> list = new ArrayList<CustomObject>();
Comparator<CustomObject> comparator = new Comparator<CustomObject>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(CustomObject left, CustomObject right) {
        return left.getId() - right.getId(); // use your logic
    }
};

Collections.sort(list, comparator); // use the comparator as much as u want
System.out.println(list);

Additionally, if CustomObjectimplements Comparable, then just use Collections.sort(list)

With JDK 8 the syntax is much simpler.

List<CustomObject> list = getCustomObjectList();
Collections.sort(list, (left, right) -> left.getId() - right.getId());
System.out.println(list);

Much simplier

List<CustomObject> list = getCustomObjectList();
list.sort((left, right) -> left.getId() - right.getId());
System.out.println(list);

Simplest

List<CustomObject> list = getCustomObjectList();
list.sort(Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getId));
System.out.println(list);

Obviously the initial code can be used for JDK 8 too.

How to determine the current shell I'm working on

I have tried many different approaches and the best one for me is:

ps -p $$

It also works under Cygwin and cannot produce false positives as PID grepping. With some cleaning, it outputs just an executable name (under Cygwin with path):

ps -p $$ | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'

You can create a function so you don't have to memorize it:

# Print currently active shell
shell () {
  ps -p $$ | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'
}

...and then just execute shell.

It was tested under Debian and Cygwin.

How to load/edit/run/save text files (.py) into an IPython notebook cell?

I have not found a satisfying answer for this question, i.e how to load edit, run and save. Overwriting either using %%writefile or %save -f doesn't work well if you want to show incremental changes in git. It would look like you delete all the lines in filename.py and add all new lines, even though you just edit 1 line.

How many bits is a "word"?

The second quote is correct, the size of a word varies from computer to computer. The ARM NEON architecture is an example of an architecture with 32-bit words, where 64-bit quantities are referred to as "doublewords" and 128-bit quantities are referred to as "quadwords":

A NEON operand can be a vector or a scalar. A NEON vector can be a 64-bit doubleword vector or a 128-bit quadword vector.

Normally speaking, 16-bit words are only found on 16-bit systems, like the Amiga 500.

How do I get rid of the "cannot empty the clipboard" error?

I got rid of the problem by unchecking the option for "Alert before overwriting cells" in Excel options. I'm using Excel 2007

What methods of ‘clearfix’ can I use?

It is so simple clearfix clears the issue by when we using the float properties inside the div element.If we use two div elements one as float:left; and other one as float:right; we can use clearfix for the parent of the two div element. If we refuse to use clearfix unnecessary spaces fill with contents below and site structure will be broken.

Android: keeping a background service alive (preventing process death)

As Dave already pointed out, you could run your Service with foreground priority. But this practice should only be used when it's absolutely necessary, i.e. when it would cause a bad user experience if the Service got killed by Android. This is what the "foreground" really means: Your app is somehow in the foreground and the user would notice it immediately if it's killed (e.g. because it played a song or a video).

In most cases, requesting foreground priority for your Service is contraproductive!

Why is that? When Android decides to kill a Service, it does so because it's short of resources (usually RAM). Based on the different priority classes, Android decides which running processes, and this included services, to terminate in order to free resources. This is a healthy process that you want to happen so that the user has a smooth experience. If you request foreground priority, without a good reason, just to keep your service from being killed, it will most likely cause a bad user experience. Or can you guarantee that your service stays within a minimal resource consumption and has no memory leaks?1

Android provides sticky services to mark services that should be restarted after some grace period if they got killed. This restart usually happens within a few seconds.

Image you want to write an XMPP client for Android. Should you request foreground priority for the Service which contains your XMPP connection? Definitely no, there is absolutely no reason to do so. But you want to use START_STICKY as return flag for your service's onStartCommand method. So that your service is stopped when there is resource pressure and restarted once the situation is back to normal.

1: I am pretty sure that many Android apps have memory leaks. It something the casual (desktop) programmer doesn't care that much about.

Zoom to fit all markers in Mapbox or Leaflet

The 'Answer' didn't work for me some reasons. So here is what I ended up doing:

////var group = new L.featureGroup(markerArray);//getting 'getBounds() not a function error.
////map.fitBounds(group.getBounds());
var bounds = L.latLngBounds(markerArray);
map.fitBounds(bounds);//works!

Customize UITableView header section

Swift 4.2

In Swift 4.2 the name of table is a little changed.

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
        let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: tableView.frame.size.width, height: 18))
        let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 5, width: tableView.frame.size.width, height: 18))
        label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        label.text = list.objectAtIndex(section) as! String
        view.addSubview(label)
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.gray // Set your background color

        return view
    }

How to convert an integer to a string in any base?

I know this is an old post, but I'm just leaving my solution here just in case.

def decimal_to_given_base(integer_to_convert, base):
     remainder = integer_to_convert // base
     digit = integer_to_convert % base
     if integer_to_convert == 0:
         return '0'
     elif remainder == 0:
         return str(digit)
     else:
         return decimal_to_given_base(remainder, base) + str(digit)

How To Execute SSH Commands Via PHP

//Update 2018, works//

Method1:

Download phpseclib v1 and use this code:

<?php
set_include_path(__DIR__ . '/phpseclib1.0.11');
include("Net/SSH2.php");

$key ="MyPassword";
  /* ### if using PrivateKey ### 
  include("Crypt/RSA.php");
  $key = new Crypt_RSA();
  $key->loadKey(file_get_contents('private-key.ppk'));
  */

$ssh = new Net_SSH2('www.example.com', 22);   // Domain or IP
if (!$ssh->login('your_username', $key))  exit('Login Failed');

echo $ssh->exec('pwd');
?>

or Method2:

Download newest phpseclib v2 (requires composer install at first):

<?php

set_include_path($path=__DIR__ . '/phpseclib-master/phpseclib');
include ($path.'/../vendor/autoload.php');

$loader = new \Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader();

use phpseclib\Net\SSH2;

$key ="MyPassword";
  /* ### if using PrivateKey ### 
  use phpseclib\Crypt\RSA;
  $key = new RSA();
  $key->load(file_get_contents('private-key.ppk'));
  */

$ssh = new SSH2('www.example.com', 22);   // Domain or IP
if (!$ssh->login('your_username', $key))   exit('Login Failed'); 

echo $ssh->exec('pwd');
?>

p.s. if you get "Connection timed out" then it's probably the issue of HOST/FIREWALL (local or remote) or like that, not a fault of script.

Date query with ISODate in mongodb doesn't seem to work

Wrap it with new Date():

Print all but the first three columns

AWK printf-based solution that avoids % problem, and is unique in that it returns nothing (no return character) if there are less than 4 columns to print:

awk 'NF > 3 { for(i=4; i<NF; i++) printf("%s ", $(i)); print $(i) }'

Testing:

$ x='1 2 3 %s 4 5 6'
$ echo "$x" | awk 'NF > 3 { for(i=4; i<NF; i++) printf("%s ", $(i)); print $(i) }'
%s 4 5 6
$ x='1 2 3'
$ echo "$x" | awk 'NF > 3 { for(i=4; i<NF; i++) printf("%s ", $(i)); print $(i) }'
$ x='1 2 3 '
$ echo "$x" | awk 'NF > 3 { for(i=4; i<NF; i++) printf("%s ", $(i)); print $(i) }'
$

How to fix: Error device not found with ADB.exe

Just wanted to provide a simple answer here. I am just messing with an old Android device for the first time doing these root and unlock procedures. I received an error like this one when an adb push "..." "/sdcard/" command failed, and the key was that my device was in the bootloader screen. Booting to recovery then allowed me copy over the file(s), and I presume the normal OS would as well.

How Can I Override Style Info from a CSS Class in the Body of a Page?

You can put CSS in the head of the HTML file, and it will take precedent over a class in an included style sheet.

<style>
.thing{
    color: #f00;
}
</style>

In Java, can you modify a List while iterating through it?

Use Java 8's removeIf(),

To remove safely,

letters.removeIf(x -> !x.equals("A"));

CSS3 opacity gradient?

I think the "messy" second method, which is linked from another question here may be the only pure CSS solution.

If you're thinking about using JavaScript, then this was my solution to the problem:

demo: using a canvas element to fade text against an animated background

The idea is that your element with the text and the canvas element are one on top of the other. You keep the text in your element (in order to allow text selection, which isn't possible with canvas text), but make it completely transparent (with rgba(0,0,0,0), in order to have the text visible in IE8 and older - that's because you have no RGBa support and no canvas support in IE8 and older).

You then read the text inside your element and write it on the canvas with the same font properties so that each letter you write on the canvas is over the corresponding letter in the element with the text.

The canvas element does not support multi-line text, so you'll have to break the text into words and then keep adding words on a test line which you then measure. If the width taken by the test line is bigger than the maximum allowed width you can have for a line (you get that maximum allowed width by reading the computed width of the element with the text), then you write it on the canvas without the last word added, you reset the test line to be that last word, and you increase the y coordinate at which to write the next line by one line height (which you also get from the computed styles of your element with the text). With each line that you write, you also decrease the opacity of the text with an appropriate step (this step being inversely proportional to the average number of characters per line).

What you cannot do easily in this case is to justify text. It can be done, but it gets a bit more complicated, meaning that you would have to compute how wide should each step be and write the text word by word rather than line by line.

Also, keep in mind that if your text container changes width as you resize the window, then you'll have to clear the canvas and redraw the text on it on each resize.

OK, the code:

Symfony 2 EntityManager injection in service

For modern reference, in Symfony 2.4+, you cannot name the arguments for the Constructor Injection method anymore. According to the documentation You would pass in:

services:
    test.common.userservice:
        class:  Test\CommonBundle\Services\UserService
        arguments: [ "@doctrine.orm.entity_manager" ]

And then they would be available in the order they were listed via the arguments (if there are more than 1).

public function __construct(EntityManager $entityManager) {
    $this->em = $entityManager;
}

PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT (in windows 10)

Go to Control Panel>>System and Security>>System>>Advance system settings>>Environment Variables then set variable value of ANDROID_HOME set it like this "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk" set username as your pc name, then restart your android studio. after that you can create your AVD again than the error will gone than it will start the virtual device.

Maven does not find JUnit tests to run

/my_program/src/test/java/ClassUnderTestTests.java

should be

/my_program/src/test/java/ClassUnderTestTest.java

The Maven finds those ends Test or starts with Test to run automatically.

However, you can using

mvn surefire:test -Dtest=ClassUnderTestTests.java 

to run your tests.

Getting a better understanding of callback functions in JavaScript

You can just say

callback();

Alternately you can use the call method if you want to adjust the value of this within the callback.

callback.call( newValueForThis);

Inside the function this would be whatever newValueForThis is.

Ignore cells on Excel line graph

  1. In the value or values you want to separate, enter the =NA() formula. This will appear that the value is skipped but the preceding and following data points will be joined by the series line.
  2. Enter the data you want to skip in the same location as the original (row or column) but add it as a new series. Add the new series to your chart.
  3. Format the new data point to match the original series format (color, shape, etc.). It will appear as though the data point was just skipped in the original series but will still show on your chart if you want to label it or add a callout.

How to print variable addresses in C?

When you intend to print the memory address of any variable or a pointer, using %d won't do the job and will cause some compilation errors, because you're trying to print out a number instead of an address, and even if it does work, you'd have an intent error, because a memory address is not a number. the value 0xbfc0d878 is surely not a number, but an address.

What you should use is %p. e.g.,

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void) {

    int a;
    a = 5;
    printf("The memory address of a is: %p\n", (void*) &a);
    return 0;
}

Good luck!

Get the decimal part from a double

var decPlaces = (int)(((decimal)number % 1) * 100);

This presumes your number only has two decimal places.

How do I change Android Studio editor's background color?

You can change it by going File => Settings (Shortcut CTRL+ ALT+ S) , from Left panel Choose Appearance , Now from Right Panel choose theme.

enter image description here

Android Studio 2.1

Preference -> Search for Appearance -> UI options , Click on DropDown Theme

enter image description here

Android 2.2

Android studio -> File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Look for UI Options

EDIT :

Import External Themes

You can download custom theme from this website. Choose your theme, download it. To set theme Go to Android studio -> File -> Import Settings -> Choose the .jar file downloaded.

"Correct" way to specifiy optional arguments in R functions

There are several options and none of them are the official correct way and none of them are really incorrect, though they can convey different information to the computer and to others reading your code.

For the given example I think the clearest option would be to supply an identity default value, in this case do something like:

fooBar <- function(x, y=0) {
  x + y
}

This is the shortest of the options shown so far and shortness can help readability (and sometimes even speed in execution). It is clear that what is being returned is the sum of x and y and you can see that y is not given a value that it will be 0 which when added to x will just result in x. Obviously if something more complicated than addition is used then a different identity value will be needed (if one exists).

One thing I really like about this approach is that it is clear what the default value is when using the args function, or even looking at the help file (you don't need to scroll down to the details, it is right there in the usage).

The drawback to this method is when the default value is complex (requiring multiple lines of code), then it would probably reduce readability to try to put all that into the default value and the missing or NULL approaches become much more reasonable.

Some of the other differences between the methods will appear when the parameter is being passed down to another function, or when using the match.call or sys.call functions.

So I guess the "correct" method depends on what you plan to do with that particular argument and what information you want to convey to readers of your code.

How to reload apache configuration for a site without restarting apache?

Late answer here, but if you search /etc/init.d/apache2 for 'reload', you'll find something like this:

do_reload() {
        if apache_conftest; then
                if ! pidofproc -p $PIDFILE "$DAEMON" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
                        APACHE2_INIT_MESSAGE="Apache2 is not running"
                        return 2
                fi
                $APACHE2CTL graceful > /dev/null 2>&1
                return $?
        else
                APACHE2_INIT_MESSAGE="The apache2$DIR_SUFFIX configtest failed. Not doing anything."
                return 2
        fi
}

Basically, what the answers that suggest using init.d, systemctl, etc are invoking is a thin wrapper that says:

  • check the apache config
  • if it's good, run apachectl graceful (swallowing the output, and forwarding the exit code)

This suggests that @Aruman's answer is also correct, provided you are confident there are no errors in your configuration or have already run apachctl configtest manually.

The apache documentation also supplies the same command for a graceful restart (apachectl -k graceful), and some more color on the behavior thereof.

Receiving JSON data back from HTTP request

If you are referring to the System.Net.HttpClient in .NET 4.5, you can get the content returned by GetAsync using the HttpResponseMessage.Content property as an HttpContent-derived object. You can then read the contents to a string using the HttpContent.ReadAsStringAsync method or as a stream using the ReadAsStreamAsync method.

The HttpClient class documentation includes this example:

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
  HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("http://www.contoso.com/");
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
  string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

Regex AND operator

Maybe you are looking for something like this. If you want to select the complete line when it contains both "foo" and "baz" at the same time, this RegEx will comply that:

.*(foo)+.*(baz)+|.*(baz)+.*(foo)+.*

Twitter Bootstrap dropdown menu

You must include jQuery in the project.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

I didn't find any doc about this so I just opened a random code example from tutorialrepublic.com http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-dropdowns.php

Hope this helps someone else.

How to concat two ArrayLists?

mArrayList2.addAll(mArrayList1);

How to get a function name as a string?

I like using a function decorator. I added a class, which also times the function time. Assume gLog is a standard python logger:

class EnterExitLog():
    def __init__(self, funcName):
        self.funcName = funcName

    def __enter__(self):
        gLog.debug('Started: %s' % self.funcName)
        self.init_time = datetime.datetime.now()
        return self

    def __exit__(self, type, value, tb):
        gLog.debug('Finished: %s in: %s seconds' % (self.funcName, datetime.datetime.now() - self.init_time))

def func_timer_decorator(func):
    def func_wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        with EnterExitLog(func.__name__):
            return func(*args, **kwargs)

    return func_wrapper

so now all you have to do with your function is decorate it and voila

@func_timer_decorator
def my_func():

LIKE vs CONTAINS on SQL Server

Also try changing from this:

    SELECT * FROM table WHERE Contains(Column, "test") > 0;

To this:

    SELECT * FROM table WHERE Contains(Column, '"*test*"') > 0;

The former will find records with values like "this is a test" and "a test-case is the plan".

The latter will also find records with values like "i am testing this" and "this is the greatest".

Write a file in external storage in Android

Even though above answers are correct, I wanna add a notice to distinguish types of storage:

  • Internal storage: It should say 'private storage' because it belongs to the app and cannot be shared. Where it's saved is based on where the app installed. If the app was installed on an SD card (I mean the external storage card you put more into a cell phone for more space to store images, videos, ...), your file will belong to the app means your file will be in an SD card. And if the app was installed on an Internal card (I mean the onboard storage card coming with your cell phone), your file will be in an Internal card.
  • External storage: It should say 'public storage' because it can be shared. And this mode divides into 2 groups: private external storage and public external storage. Basically, they are nearly the same, you can consult more from this site: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/files
  • A real SD card (I mean the external storage card you put more into a cell phone for more space to store images, videos, ...): this was not stated clearly on Android docs, so many people might be confused with how to save files in this card.

Here is the link to source code for cases I mentioned above: https://github.com/mttdat/utils/blob/master/utils/src/main/java/mttdat/utils/FileUtils.java

Having both a Created and Last Updated timestamp columns in MySQL 4.0

If you do decide to have MySQL handle the update of timestamps, you can set up a trigger to update the field on insert.

Mod of negative number is melting my brain

Here's my one liner for positive integers, based on this answer:

Clearing NSUserDefaults

Note: This answer has been updated for Swift too.

What about to have it on one line?

Extending @Christopher Rogers answer – the accepted one.

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removePersistentDomainForName:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]];

and yes, sometime you may need to synchronize it,

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

I've created a method to do this,

- (void) clearDefaults {
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removePersistentDomainForName:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}

Swift?

With swift its even more easy.

Binary Search Tree - Java Implementation

Here is my simple binary search tree implementation in Java SE 1.8:

public class BSTNode
{
    int data;
    BSTNode parent;
    BSTNode left;
    BSTNode right;

    public BSTNode(int data)
    {
        this.data = data;
        this.left = null;
        this.right = null;
        this.parent = null;
    }

    public BSTNode()
    {
    }
}

public class BSTFunctions
{
    BSTNode ROOT;

    public BSTFunctions()
    {
        this.ROOT = null;
    }

    void insertNode(BSTNode node, int data)
    {
        if (node == null)
        {
            node = new BSTNode(data);
            ROOT = node;
        }
        else if (data < node.data && node.left == null)
        {
            node.left = new BSTNode(data);
            node.left.parent = node;
        }
        else if (data >= node.data && node.right == null)
        {
            node.right = new BSTNode(data);
            node.right.parent = node;
        }
        else
        {
            if (data < node.data)
            {
                insertNode(node.left, data);
            }
            else
            {
                insertNode(node.right, data);
            }
        }
    }

    public boolean search(BSTNode node, int data)
    {

        }
        else
        {
            if (data < node.data)
            {
                return search(node.left, data);
            }
            else
            {
                return search(node.right, data);
            }
        }
    }

    public void printInOrder(BSTNode node)
    {
        if (node != null)
        {
            printInOrder(node.left);
            System.out.print(node.data + " - ");

    public void printPostOrder(BSTNode node)
    {

        {
            printPostOrder(node.left);
            printPostOrder(node.right);
            System.out.print(node.data + " - ");
        }
    }

    public void printPreOrder(BSTNode node)
    {
        if (node != null)
        {
            System.out.print(node.data + " - ");
            printPreOrder(node.left);
            printPreOrder(node.right);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        BSTFunctions f = new BSTFunctions();
        /**
         * Insert
         */
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 20);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 5);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 25);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 3);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 7);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 27);
        f.insertNode(f.ROOT, 24);

        /**

        f.printInOrder(f.ROOT);
        System.out.println("");
        f.printPostOrder(f.ROOT);
        System.out.println("");
        f.printPreOrder(f.ROOT);
        System.out.println("");

        /**

        System.out.println(f.search(f.ROOT, 27) ? "Found" : "Not Found");
        System.out.println(f.search(f.ROOT, 10) ? "Found" : "Not Found");
    }
}

And the output is:

3 - 7 - 5 - 24 - 27 - 25 - 20 - 
20 - 5 - 3 - 7 - 25 - 24 - 27 -

Any way to generate ant build.xml file automatically from Eclipse?

  • Select File > Export from main menu (or right click on the project name and select Export > Export…).
  • In the Export dialog, select General > Ant Buildfiles as follows: enter image description here

  • Click Next. In the Generate Ant Buildfilesscreen:

    • Check the project in list.
    • Uncheck the option "Create target to compile project using Eclipse compiler" - because we want to create a build file which is independent of Eclipse.
    • Leave the Name for Ant buildfile as default: build.xml

enter image description here

  • Click Finish, Eclipse will generate the build.xml file under project’s directory as follows:
    enter image description here
  • Double click on the build.xml file to open its content in Ant editor: enter image description here

Linux command to list all available commands and aliases

Alternatively, you can get a convenient list of commands coupled with quick descriptions (as long as the command has a man page, which most do):

apropos -s 1 ''

-s 1 returns only "section 1" manpages which are entries for executable programs.

'' is a search for anything. (If you use an asterisk, on my system, bash throws in a search for all the files and folders in your current working directory.)

Then you just grep it like you want.

apropos -s 1 '' | grep xdg

yields:

xdg-desktop-icon (1) - command line tool for (un)installing icons to the desktop
xdg-desktop-menu (1) - command line tool for (un)installing desktop menu items
xdg-email (1)        - command line tool for sending mail using the user's preferred e-mail composer
xdg-icon-resource (1) - command line tool for (un)installing icon resources
xdg-mime (1)         - command line tool for querying information about file type handling and adding descriptions for new file types
xdg-open (1)         - opens a file or URL in the user's preferred application
xdg-screensaver (1)  - command line tool for controlling the screensaver
xdg-settings (1)     - get various settings from the desktop environment
xdg-user-dir (1)     - Find an XDG user dir
xdg-user-dirs-update (1) - Update XDG user dir configuration

The results don't appear to be sorted, so if you're looking for a long list, you can throw a | sort | into the middle, and then pipe that to a pager like less/more/most. ala:

apropos -s 1 '' | sort | grep zip | less

Which returns a sorted list of all commands that have "zip" in their name or their short description, and pumps that the "less" pager. (You could also replace "less" with $PAGER and use the default pager.)

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (38)

I had this socket error and it basically came down to the fact that MySQL was not running. If you run a fresh install, make sure that you install 1) the system package and 2) the panel installer (mysql.prefPane). The panel installer will allow you to goto your System Preferences and open MySQL, and then get an instance running.

Note that, on a fresh install, I needed to reset my computer for the changes to properly take effect. Following a reboot, I got a new instance running and was able to open up a connection to localhost with no problem.

Also of note, I apparently had previous versions of MySQL installed but had removed the panel, which makes it easy to get an instance of MySQL running for mac users.

A good link for this process of reinstalling: http://www.coolestguyplanettech.com/how-to-install-php-mysql-apache-on-os-x-10-6/

Counter in foreach loop in C#

Your understanding of foreach is incomplete.

It works with any type that exposes IEnumerable (or implements a GetEnumerable method) and uses the returned IEnumerator to iterate over the items in the collection.

How the Enumerator does this (using an index, yield statement or magic) is an implementation detail.

In order to achieve what you want, you should use a for loop:

for (int i = 0; i < mylist.Count; i++)
{
}

Note:

Getting the number of items in a list is slightly different depending on the type of list

For Collections: Use Count   [property]
For Arrays:      Use Length  [property]
For IEnumerable: Use Count() [Linq method]

How to display a loading screen while site content loads

You can use <progress> element in HTML5. See this page for source code and live demo. http://purpledesign.in/blog/super-cool-loading-bar-html5/

here is the progress element...

<progress id="progressbar" value="20" max="100"></progress>

this will have the loading value starting from 20. Of course only the element wont suffice. You need to move it as the script loads. For that we need JQuery. Here is a simple JQuery script that starts the progress from 0 to 100 and does something in defined time slot.

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
         if(!Modernizr.meter){
         alert('Sorry your brower does not support HTML5 progress bar');
         } else {
         var progressbar = $('#progressbar'),
         max = progressbar.attr('max'),
         time = (1000/max)*10, 
         value = progressbar.val();
        var loading = function() {
        value += 1;
        addValue = progressbar.val(value);
        $('.progress-value').html(value + '%');
        if (value == max) {
        clearInterval(animate);
        //Do Something
 }
if (value == 16) {
//Do something 
}
if (value == 38) {
//Do something
}
if (value == 55) {
//Do something 
}
if (value == 72) {
//Do something 
}
if (value == 1) {
//Do something 
}
if (value == 86) {
//Do something 
    }

};
var animate = setInterval(function() {
loading();
}, time);
};
});
</script>

Add this to your HTML file.

<div class="demo-wrapper html5-progress-bar">
<div class="progress-bar-wrapper">
 <progress id="progressbar" value="0" max="100"></progress>
 <span class="progress-value">0%</span>
</div>
 </div>

Hope this will give you a start.

Spring-Boot: How do I set JDBC pool properties like maximum number of connections?

Different connections pools have different configs.

For example Tomcat (default) expects:

spring.datasource.ourdb.url=...

and HikariCP will be happy with:

spring.datasource.ourdb.jdbc-url=...

We can satisfy both without boilerplate configuration:

spring.datasource.ourdb.jdbc-url=${spring.datasource.ourdb.url}

There is no property to define connection pool provider.

Take a look at source DataSourceBuilder.java

If Tomcat, HikariCP or Commons DBCP are on the classpath one of them will be selected (in that order with Tomcat first).

... so, we can easily replace connection pool provider using this maven configuration (pom.xml):

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
                <artifactId>tomcat-jdbc</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>       

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId>
        <artifactId>HikariCP</artifactId>
    </dependency>

How to get old Value with onchange() event in text box

Maybe you can store the previous value of the textbox into a hidden textbox. Then you can get the first value from hidden and the last value from textbox itself. An alternative related to this, at onfocus event of your textbox set the value of your textbox to an hidden field and at onchange event read the previous value.

How to resolve this System.IO.FileNotFoundException

I've been mislead by this error more than once. After spending hours googling, updating nuget packages, version checking, then after sitting with a completely updated solution I re-realize a perfectly valid, simpler reason for the error.

If in a threaded enthronement (UI Dispatcher.Invoke for example), System.IO.FileNotFoundException is thrown if the thread manager dll (file) fails to return. So if your main UI thread A, calls the system thread manager dll B, and B calls your thread code C, but C throws for some unrelated reason (such as null Reference as in my case), then C does not return, B does not return, and A only blames B with FileNotFoundException for being lost...

Before going down the dll version path... Check closer to home and verify your thread code is not throwing.

Passing an array as parameter in JavaScript

It is possible to pass arrays to functions, and there are no special requirements for dealing with them. Are you sure that the array you are passing to to your function actually has an element at [0]?

Loading a properties file from Java package

When loading the Properties from a Class in the package com.al.common.email.templates you can use

Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("foo.properties");
prop.load(in);
in.close();

(Add all the necessary exception handling).

If your class is not in that package, you need to aquire the InputStream slightly differently:

InputStream in = 
 getClass().getResourceAsStream("/com/al/common/email/templates/foo.properties");

Relative paths (those without a leading '/') in getResource()/getResourceAsStream() mean that the resource will be searched relative to the directory which represents the package the class is in.

Using java.lang.String.class.getResource("foo.txt") would search for the (inexistent) file /java/lang/String/foo.txt on the classpath.

Using an absolute path (one that starts with '/') means that the current package is ignored.

Convert Variable Name to String?

I searched for this question because I wanted a Python program to print assignment statements for some of the variables in the program. For example, it might print "foo = 3, bar = 21, baz = 432". The print function would need the variable names in string form. I could have provided my code with the strings "foo","bar", and "baz", but that felt like repeating myself. After reading the previous answers, I developed the solution below.

The globals() function behaves like a dict with variable names (in the form of strings) as keys. I wanted to retrieve from globals() the key corresponding to the value of each variable. The method globals().items() returns a list of tuples; in each tuple the first item is the variable name (as a string) and the second is the variable value. My variablename() function searches through that list to find the variable name(s) that corresponds to the value of the variable whose name I need in string form.

The function itertools.ifilter() does the search by testing each tuple in the globals().items() list with the function lambda x: var is globals()[x[0]]. In that function x is the tuple being tested; x[0] is the variable name (as a string) and x[1] is the value. The lambda function tests whether the value of the tested variable is the same as the value of the variable passed to variablename(). In fact, by using the is operator, the lambda function tests whether the name of the tested variable is bound to the exact same object as the variable passed to variablename(). If so, the tuple passes the test and is returned by ifilter().

The itertools.ifilter() function actually returns an iterator which doesn't return any results until it is called properly. To get it called properly, I put it inside a list comprehension [tpl[0] for tpl ... globals().items())]. The list comprehension saves only the variable name tpl[0], ignoring the variable value. The list that is created contains one or more names (as strings) that are bound to the value of the variable passed to variablename().

In the uses of variablename() shown below, the desired string is returned as an element in a list. In many cases, it will be the only item in the list. If another variable name is assigned the same value, however, the list will be longer.

>>> def variablename(var):
...     import itertools
...     return [tpl[0] for tpl in 
...     itertools.ifilter(lambda x: var is x[1], globals().items())]
... 
>>> var = {}
>>> variablename(var)
['var']
>>> something_else = 3
>>> variablename(something_else)
['something_else']
>>> yet_another = 3
>>> variablename(something_else)
['yet_another', 'something_else']

Selenium IDE - Command to wait for 5 seconds

For those working with ant, I use this to indicate a pause of 5 seconds:

<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>5000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

That is, target: 5000 and value empty. As the reference indicates:

pause(waitTime)

Arguments:

  • waitTime - the amount of time to sleep (in milliseconds)

Wait for the specified amount of time (in milliseconds)

Preventing console window from closing on Visual Studio C/C++ Console application

(/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) did not worked for my vs2013 (I already had it).

"run without debugging" is not an options, since I do not want to switch between debugging and seeing output.

I ended with

int main() {
  ...
#if _DEBUG
  LOG_INFO("end, press key to close");
  getchar();
#endif // _DEBUG
  return 0;
}

Solution used in qtcreator pre 2.6. Now while qt is growing, vs is going other way. As I remember, in vs2008 we did not need such tricks.

How to get a JavaScript object's class?

In keeping with its unbroken record of backwards-compatibility, ECMAScript 6, JavaScript still doesn't have a class type (though not everyone understands this). It does have a class keyword as part of its class syntax for creating prototypes—but still no thing called class. JavaScript is not now and has never been a classical OOP language. Speaking of JS in terms of class is only either misleading or a sign of not yet grokking prototypical inheritance (just keeping it real).

That means this.constructor is still a great way to get a reference to the constructor function. And this.constructor.prototype is the way to access the prototype itself. Since this isn't Java, it's not a class. It's the prototype object your instance was instantiated from. Here is an example using the ES6 syntactic sugar for creating a prototype chain:

class Foo {
  get foo () {
    console.info(this.constructor, this.constructor.name)
    return 'foo'
  }
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  get foo () {
    console.info('[THIS]', this.constructor, this.constructor.name, Object.getOwnPropertyNames(this.constructor.prototype))
    console.info('[SUPER]', super.constructor, super.constructor.name, Object.getOwnPropertyNames(super.constructor.prototype))

    return `${super.foo} + bar`
  }
}

const bar = new Bar()
console.dir(bar.foo)

This is what that outputs using babel-node:

> $ babel-node ./foo.js                                                                                                                   ? 6.2.0 [±master ?]
[THIS] [Function: Bar] 'Bar' [ 'constructor', 'foo' ]
[SUPER] [Function: Foo] 'Foo' [ 'constructor', 'foo' ]
[Function: Bar] 'Bar'
'foo + bar'

There you have it! In 2016, there's a class keyword in JavaScript, but still no class type. this.constructor is the best way to get the constructor function, this.constructor.prototype the best way to get access to the prototype itself.

How to get all options in a drop-down list by Selenium WebDriver using C#?

Make sure you reference the WebDriver.Support.dll assembly to gain access to the OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI.SelectElement dropdown helper class. See this thread for additional details.

Edit: In this screenshot, you can see that I can get the options just fine. Is IE opening up when you create a new InternetExplorerDriver? Screenshot

Spring Could not Resolve placeholder

You are not reading the properties file correctly. The propertySource should pass the parameter as: file:appclient.properties or classpath:appclient.properties. Change the annotation to:

@PropertySource(value={"classpath:appclient.properties"})

However I don't know what your PropertiesConfig file contains, as you're importing that also. Ideally the @PropertySource annotation should have been kept there.

Create a rounded button / button with border-radius in Flutter

Since Sept 2020, flutter 1.22.0:

Both "RaisedButton" and "FlatButton" are deprecated.

The most up-to-date solution is to use new buttons:

1. ElevatedButton:

button without an icon button with an icon

Code:

ElevatedButton(
  child: Text("ElevatedButton"),
  onPressed: () => print("it's pressed"),
  style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
    primary: Colors.red,
    onPrimary: Colors.white,
    shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(32.0),
    ),
  ),
)

Don't forget, there's also an .icon constructor to add an icon easily:

ElevatedButton.icon(
  icon: Icon(Icons.thumb_up),
  label: Text("Like"),
  onPressed: () => print("it's pressed"),
  style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
    shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(32.0),
    ),
  ),
)

2. OutlinedButton:

outlined button

Code:

OutlinedButton.icon(
  icon: Icon(Icons.star_outline),
  label: Text("OutlinedButton"),
  onPressed: () => print("it's pressed"),
  style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
    side: BorderSide(width: 2.0, color: Colors.blue),
    shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(32.0),
    ),
  ),
)

3. TextButton:

You can always use TextButton if you don't want outline or color fill.

Java: Multiple class declarations in one file

Just FYI, if you are using Java 11+, there is an exception to this rule: if you run your java file directly (without compilation). In this mode, there is no restriction on a single public class per file. However, the class with the main method must be the first one in the file.

How to convert string to date to string in Swift iOS?

Swift 2 and below

let date = NSDate()
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy"
var dateString = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date)
println(dateString)

And in Swift 3 and higher this would now be written as:

let date = Date()
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy"
var dateString = dateFormatter.string(from: date)

Using a remote repository with non-standard port

If you put something like this in your .ssh/config:

Host githost
HostName git.host.de
Port 4019
User root

then you should be able to use the basic syntax:

git push githost:/var/cache/git/project.git master

Using SimpleXML to create an XML object from scratch

In PHP5, you should use the Document Object Model class instead. Example:

$domDoc = new DOMDocument;
$rootElt = $domDoc->createElement('root');
$rootNode = $domDoc->appendChild($rootElt);

$subElt = $domDoc->createElement('foo');
$attr = $domDoc->createAttribute('ah');
$attrVal = $domDoc->createTextNode('OK');
$attr->appendChild($attrVal);
$subElt->appendChild($attr);
$subNode = $rootNode->appendChild($subElt);

$textNode = $domDoc->createTextNode('Wow, it works!');
$subNode->appendChild($textNode);

echo htmlentities($domDoc->saveXML());

How to declare a global variable in a .js file

Have you tried it?

If you do:

var HI = 'Hello World';

In global.js. And then do:

alert(HI);

In js1.js it will alert it fine. You just have to include global.js prior to the rest in the HTML document.

The only catch is that you have to declare it in the window's scope (not inside any functions).

You could just nix the var part and create them that way, but it's not good practice.

mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists

It seems odd that this directory was not created at install - have you manually changed the path of the socket file in the my.cfg?

Have you tried simply creating this directory yourself, and restarting the service?

mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld

What is the origin of foo and bar?

tl;dr

  • "Foo" and "bar" as metasyntactic variables were popularised by MIT and DEC, the first references are in work on LISP and PDP-1 and Project MAC from 1964 onwards.

  • Many of these people were in MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club, where we find the first documented use of "foo" in tech circles in 1959 (and a variant in 1958).

  • Both "foo" and "bar" (and even "baz") were well known in popular culture, especially from Smokey Stover and Pogo comics, which will have been read by many TMRC members.

  • Also, it seems likely the military FUBAR contributed to their popularity.


The use of lone "foo" as a nonsense word is pretty well documented in popular culture in the early 20th century, as is the military FUBAR. (Some background reading: FOLDOC FOLDOC Jargon File Jargon File Wikipedia RFC3092)


OK, so let's find some references.

STOP PRESS! After posting this answer, I discovered this perfect article about "foo" in the Friday 14th January 1938 edition of The Tech ("MIT's oldest and largest newspaper & the first newspaper published on the web"), Volume LVII. No. 57, Price Three Cents:

On Foo-ism

The Lounger thinks that this business of Foo-ism has been carried too far by its misguided proponents, and does hereby and forthwith take his stand against its abuse. It may be that there's no foo like an old foo, and we're it, but anyway, a foo and his money are some party. (Voice from the bleachers- "Don't be foo-lish!")

As an expletive, of course, "foo!" has a definite and probably irreplaceable position in our language, although we fear that the excessive use to which it is currently subjected may well result in its falling into an early (and, alas, a dark) oblivion. We say alas because proper use of the word may result in such happy incidents as the following.

It was an 8.50 Thermodynamics lecture by Professor Slater in Room 6-120. The professor, having covered the front side of the blackboard, set the handle that operates the lift mechanism, turning meanwhile to the class to continue his discussion. The front board slowly, majestically, lifted itself, revealing the board behind it, and on that board, writ large, the symbols that spelled "FOO"!

The Tech newspaper, a year earlier, the Letter to the Editor, September 1937:

By the time the train has reached the station the neophytes are so filled with the stories of the glory of Phi Omicron Omicron, usually referred to as Foo, that they are easy prey.

...

It is not that I mind having lost my first four sons to the Grand and Universal Brotherhood of Phi Omicron Omicron, but I do wish that my fifth son, my baby, should at least be warned in advance.

Hopefully yours,

Indignant Mother of Five.

And The Tech in December 1938:

General trend of thought might be best interpreted from the remarks made at the end of the ballots. One vote said, '"I don't think what I do is any of Pulver's business," while another merely added a curt "Foo."


The first documented "foo" in tech circles is probably 1959's Dictionary of the TMRC Language:

FOO: the sacred syllable (FOO MANI PADME HUM); to be spoken only when under inspiration to commune with the Deity. Our first obligation is to keep the Foo Counters turning.

These are explained at FOLDOC. The dictionary's compiler Pete Samson said in 2005:

Use of this word at TMRC antedates my coming there. A foo counter could simply have randomly flashing lights, or could be a real counter with an obscure input.

And from 1996's Jargon File 4.0.0:

Earlier versions of this lexicon derived 'baz' as a Stanford corruption of bar. However, Pete Samson (compiler of the TMRC lexicon) reports it was already current when he joined TMRC in 1958. He says "It came from "Pogo". Albert the Alligator, when vexed or outraged, would shout 'Bazz Fazz!' or 'Rowrbazzle!' The club layout was said to model the (mythical) New England counties of Rowrfolk and Bassex (Rowrbazzle mingled with (Norfolk/Suffolk/Middlesex/Essex)."

A year before the TMRC dictionary, 1958's MIT Voo Doo Gazette ("Humor suplement of the MIT Deans' office") (PDF) mentions Foocom, in "The Laws of Murphy and Finagle" by John Banzhaf (an electrical engineering student):

Further research under a joint Foocom and Anarcom grant expanded the law to be all embracing and universally applicable: If anything can go wrong, it will!

Also 1964's MIT Voo Doo (PDF) references the TMRC usage:

Yes! I want to be an instant success and snow customers. Send me a degree in: ...

  • Foo Counters

  • Foo Jung


Let's find "foo", "bar" and "foobar" published in code examples.

So, Jargon File 4.4.7 says of "foobar":

Probably originally propagated through DECsystem manuals by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1960s and early 1970s; confirmed sightings there go back to 1972.

The first published reference I can find is from February 1964, but written in June 1963, The Programming Language LISP: its Operation and Applications by Information International, Inc., with many authors, but including Timothy P. Hart and Michael Levin:

Thus, since "FOO" is a name for itself, "COMITRIN" will treat both "FOO" and "(FOO)" in exactly the same way.

Also includes other metasyntactic variables such as: FOO CROCK GLITCH / POOT TOOR / ON YOU / SNAP CRACKLE POP / X Y Z

I expect this is much the same as this next reference of "foo" from MIT's Project MAC in January 1964's AIM-064, or LISP Exercises by Timothy P. Hart and Michael Levin:

car[((FOO . CROCK) . GLITCH)]

It shares many other metasyntactic variables like: CHI / BOSTON NEW YORK / SPINACH BUTTER STEAK / FOO CROCK GLITCH / POOT TOOP / TOOT TOOT / ISTHISATRIVIALEXCERCISE / PLOOP FLOT TOP / SNAP CRACKLE POP / ONE TWO THREE / PLANE SUB THRESHER

For both "foo" and "bar" together, the earliest reference I could find is from MIT's Project MAC in June 1966's AIM-098, or PDP-6 LISP by none other than Peter Samson:

EXPLODE, like PRIN1, inserts slashes, so (EXPLODE (QUOTE FOO/ BAR)) PRIN1's as (F O O // / B A R) or PRINC's as (F O O / B A R).


Some more recallations.

@Walter Mitty recalled on this site in 2008:

I second the jargon file regarding Foo Bar. I can trace it back at least to 1963, and PDP-1 serial number 2, which was on the second floor of Building 26 at MIT. Foo and Foo Bar were used there, and after 1964 at the PDP-6 room at project MAC.

John V. Everett recalls in 1996:

When I joined DEC in 1966, foobar was already being commonly used as a throw-away file name. I believe fubar became foobar because the PDP-6 supported six character names, although I always assumed the term migrated to DEC from MIT. There were many MIT types at DEC in those days, some of whom had worked with the 7090/7094 CTSS. Since the 709x was also a 36 bit machine, foobar may have been used as a common file name there.

Foo and bar were also commonly used as file extensions. Since the text editors of the day operated on an input file and produced an output file, it was common to edit from a .foo file to a .bar file, and back again.

It was also common to use foo to fill a buffer when editing with TECO. The text string to exactly fill one disk block was IFOO$HXA127GA$$. Almost all of the PDP-6/10 programmers I worked with used this same command string.

Daniel P. B. Smith in 1998:

Dick Gruen had a device in his dorm room, the usual assemblage of B-battery, resistors, capacitors, and NE-2 neon tubes, which he called a "foo counter." This would have been circa 1964 or so.

Robert Schuldenfrei in 1996:

The use of FOO and BAR as example variable names goes back at least to 1964 and the IBM 7070. This too may be older, but that is where I first saw it. This was in Assembler. What would be the FORTRAN integer equivalent? IFOO and IBAR?

Paul M. Wexelblat in 1992:

The earliest PDP-1 Assembler used two characters for symbols (18 bit machine) programmers always left a few words as patch space to fix problems. (Jump to patch space, do new code, jump back) That space conventionally was named FU: which stood for Fxxx Up, the place where you fixed Fxxx Ups. When spoken, it was known as FU space. Later Assemblers ( e.g. MIDAS allowed three char tags so FU became FOO, and as ALL PDP-1 programmers will tell you that was FOO space.

Bruce B. Reynolds in 1996:

On the IBM side of FOO(FU)BAR is the use of the BAR side as Base Address Register; in the middle 1970's CICS programmers had to worry out the various xxxBARs...I think one of those was FRACTBAR...

Here's a straight IBM "BAR" from 1955.


Other early references:


I haven't been able to find any references to foo bar as "inverted foo signal" as suggested in RFC3092 and elsewhere.

Here are a some of even earlier F00s but I think they're coincidences/false positives:

Local dependency in package.json

Here in 2020, working on a Windows 10, I tried with

"dependencies": {
    "some-local-lib": "file:../../folderY/some-local-lib" 
    ...
}

Then doing a npm install. The result is that a shortcut to the folder is created in node-modules. This doesn't work. You need a hard link - which windows support, but you have to do something extra in windows to create a hard symlink.

Since I don't really want a hard link, I tried using an url instead:

"dependencies": {
    "some-local-lib": "file:///D:\\folderX\\folderY\\some-local-lib.tar" 
     ....
}

And this works nicely.
The tar (you have to tar the stuff in the library's build / dist folder) gets extracted to a real folder in node-modules, and you can import like everything else.
Obviously the tar part is a bit annoying, but since 'some-local-lib' is a library (which has to be build anyway), I prefer this solution to creating a hard link or installing a local npm.

In Python, how do you convert a `datetime` object to seconds?

Python provides operation on datetime to compute the difference between two date. In your case that would be:

t - datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)

The value returned is a timedelta object from which you can use the member function total_seconds to get the value in seconds.

(t - datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)).total_seconds()

how to set textbox value in jquery

Note that the .value attribute is a JavaScript feature. If you want to use jQuery, use:

$('#pid').val()

to get the value, and:

$('#pid').val('value')

to set it.

http://api.jquery.com/val/

Regarding your second issue, I have never tried automatically setting the HTML value using the load method. For sure, you can do something like this:

$('#subtotal').load( 'compz.php?prodid=' + x + '&qbuys=' + y, function(response){ $('#subtotal').val(response);
});

Note that the code above is untested.

How to best display in Terminal a MySQL SELECT returning too many fields?

Using the Windows Command Prompt you can increase the buffer size of the window as much you want to see the number of columns. This depends on the no of columns in the table.

Displaying unicode symbols in HTML

Unlike proposed by Nicolas, the meta tag isn’t actually ignored by the browsers. However, the Content-Type HTTP header always has precedence over the presence of a meta tag in the document.

So make sure that you either send the correct encoding via the HTTP header, or don’t send this HTTP header at all (not recommended). The meta tag is mainly a fallback option for local documents which aren’t sent via HTTP traffic.

Using HTML entities should also be considered a workaround – that’s tiptoeing around the real problem. Configuring the web server properly prevents a lot of nuisance.

In Java how does one turn a String into a char or a char into a String?

How do I simulate a low bandwidth, high latency environment?

In the past, I have used a bridge using the Linux Netem (Network Emulation) functionality. It is highly configurable -- allowing the introduction of delays (the first example is for a WAN), packet loss, corruption, etc.

I'm noting that Netem worked very well for my applications, but I also ended up using WANem several times. The provided bootable ISO (and virtual appliance images) made it quite handy.

How good is Java's UUID.randomUUID?

I play at lottery last year, and I've never won .... but it seems that there lottery has winners ...

doc : http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122

Type 1 : not implemented. collision are possible if the uuid is generated at the same moment. impl can be artificially a-synchronize in order to bypass this problem.

Type 2 : never see a implementation.

Type 3 : md5 hash : collision possible (128 bits-2 technical bytes)

Type 4 : random : collision possible (as lottery). note that the jdk6 impl dont use a "true" secure random because the PRNG algorithm is not choose by developer and you can force system to use a "poor" PRNG algo. So your UUID is predictable.

Type 5 : sha1 hash : not implemented : collision possible (160 bit-2 technical bytes)

Excel 2007: How to display mm:ss format not as a DateTime (e.g. 73:07)?

To make life easier when entering multiple dates/times it is possible to use a custom format to remove the need to enter the colon, and the leading "hour" 0. This however requires a second field for the numerical date to be stored, as the displayed date from the custom format is in base 10.

Displaying a number as a time (no need to enter colons, but no time conversion)

For displaying the times on the sheet, and for entering them without having to type the colon set the cell format to custom and use:

0/:00

Then enter your time. For example, if you wanted to enter 62:30, then you would simply type 6230 and your custom format would visually insert a colon 2 decimal points from the right.

If you only need to display the times, stop here.

Converting number to time

If you need to be able to calculate with the times, you will need to convert them from base 10 into the time format.

This can be done with the following formula (change A2 to the relevant cell reference):

=TIME(0,TRUNC(A2/100),MOD(A2,100))

  • =TIME starts the number to time conversion
  • We don't need hours, so enter 0, at the beginning of the formula, as the format is always hh,mm,ss (to display hours and minutes instead of minutes and seconds, place the 0 at the end of the formula).
  • For the minutes, TRUNC(A2/100), discards the rightmost 2 digits.
  • For the seconds, MOD(A2,100) keeps the rightmost 2 digits and discards everything to the left.

The above formula was found and adapted from this article: PC Mag.com - Easy Date and Time Entry in Excel

Alternatively, you could skip the 0/:00 custom formatting, and just enter your time in a cell to be referenced of the edge of the visible workspace or on another sheet as you would for the custom formatting (ie: 6230 for 62:30)

Then change the display format of the cells with the formula to [m]:ss as @Sean Chessire suggested.

Here is a screen shot to show what I mean.

WHERE clause on SQL Server "Text" data type

This works in MSSQL and MySQL:

Why do I get an UnsupportedOperationException when trying to remove an element from a List?

This one has burned me many times. Arrays.asList creates an unmodifiable list. From the Javadoc: Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array.

Create a new list with the same content:

newList.addAll(Arrays.asList(newArray));

This will create a little extra garbage, but you will be able to mutate it.

Git push existing repo to a new and different remote repo server?

Parsing JSON with Unix tools

Parsing JSON with PHP CLI

Arguably off topic but since precedence reigns this question remains incomplete without a mention of our trusty and faithful PHP, am I right?

Using the same example JSON but lets assign it to a variable to reduce obscurity.

$ export JSON='{"hostname":"test","domainname":"example.com"}'

Now for PHP goodness, using file_get_contents and the php://stdin stream wrapper.

$ echo $JSON|php -r 'echo json_decode(file_get_contents("php://stdin"))->hostname;'

or as pointed out using fgets and the already opened stream at CLI constant STDIN.

$ echo $JSON|php -r 'echo json_decode(fgets(STDIN))->hostname;'

nJoy!

Convert String array to ArrayList

Use this code for that,

import java.util.Arrays;  
import java.util.List;  
import java.util.ArrayList;  

public class StringArrayTest {

   public static void main(String[] args) {  
      String[] words = {"ace", "boom", "crew", "dog", "eon"};  

      List<String> wordList = Arrays.asList(words);  

      for (String e : wordList) {  
         System.out.println(e);  
      }  
   }  
}

TypeError: Missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

You need to instantiate a class instance here.

Use

p = Pump()
p.getPumps()

Small example -

>>> class TestClass:
        def __init__(self):
            print("in init")
        def testFunc(self):
            print("in Test Func")


>>> testInstance = TestClass()
in init
>>> testInstance.testFunc()
in Test Func

How to save a list to a file and read it as a list type?

How do I analyze a program's core dump file with GDB when it has command-line parameters?

From RMS's GDB debugger tutorial:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
prompt > gdb myprogram
...

...

Make sure your file really is a core image -- check it using file.

How to remove from a map while iterating it?

The standard associative-container erase idiom:

for (auto it = m.cbegin(); it != m.cend() /* not hoisted */; /* no increment */)
{
  if (must_delete)
  {
    m.erase(it++);    // or "it = m.erase(it)" since C++11
  }
  else
  {
    ++it;
  }
}

Note that we really want an ordinary for loop here, since we are modifying the container itself. The range-based loop should be strictly reserved for situations where we only care about the elements. The syntax for the RBFL makes this clear by not even exposing the container inside the loop body.

Edit. Pre-C++11, you could not erase const-iterators. There you would have to say:

for (std::map<K,V>::iterator it = m.begin(); it != m.end(); ) { /* ... */ }

Erasing an element from a container is not at odds with constness of the element. By analogy, it has always been perfectly legitimate to delete p where p is a pointer-to-constant. Constness does not constrain lifetime; const values in C++ can still stop existing.

setAttribute('display','none') not working

It works for me

setAttribute('style', 'display:none');

How can I copy the content of a branch to a new local branch?

git branch copyOfMyBranch MyBranch

This avoids the potentially time-consuming and unnecessary act of checking out a branch. Recall that a checkout modifies the "working tree", which could take a long time if it is large or contains large files (images or videos, for example).

How to have image and text side by side

It's always worth grouping elements into sections that are relevant. In your case, a parent element that contains two columns;

How to check for empty array in vba macro

Here's his page on array functions.

I hope this helps.

' IsArrayEmpty
' This function tests whether the array is empty (unallocated). Returns TRUE or FALSE.
'
' The VBA IsArray function indicates whether a variable is an array, but it does not
' distinguish between allocated and unallocated arrays. It will return TRUE for both
' allocated and unallocated arrays. This function tests whether the array has actually

JTable won't show column headers

The main difference between this answer and the accepted answer is the use of setViewportView() instead of add().

How to put JTable in JScrollPane using Eclipse IDE:

  1. Create JScrollPane container via Design tab.
  2. Stretch JScrollPane to desired size (applies to Absolute Layout).
  3. Drag and drop JTable component on top of JScrollPane (Viewport area).

In Structure > Components, table should be a child of scrollPane. enter image description here

The generated code would be something like this:

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
...

JTable table = new JTable();
scrollPane.setViewportView(table);

Customize the Authorization HTTP header

In the case of CROSS ORIGIN request read this:

I faced this situation and at first I chose to use the Authorization Header and later removed it after facing the following issue.

Authorization Header is considered a custom header. So if a cross-domain request is made with the Autorization Header set, the browser first sends a preflight request. A preflight request is an HTTP request by the OPTIONS method, this request strips all the parameters from the request. Your server needs to respond with Access-Control-Allow-Headers Header having the value of your custom header (Authorization header).

So for each request the client (browser) sends, an additional HTTP request(OPTIONS) was being sent by the browser. This deteriorated the performance of my API. You should check if adding this degrades your performance. As a workaround I am sending tokens in http parameters, which I know is not the best way of doing it but I couldn't compromise with the performance.

How can I trim leading and trailing white space?

To manipulate the white space, use str_trim() in the stringr package. The package has manual dated Feb 15, 2013 and is in CRAN. The function can also handle string vectors.

install.packages("stringr", dependencies=TRUE)
require(stringr)
example(str_trim)
d4$clean2<-str_trim(d4$V2)

Cast Int to enum in Java

Try MyEnum.values()[x] where x must be 0 or 1, i.e. a valid ordinal for that enum.

Note that in Java enums actually are classes (and enum values thus are objects) and thus you can't cast an int or even Integer to an enum.

Match all elements having class name starting with a specific string

The following should do the trick:

div[class^='myclass'], div[class*=' myclass']{
    color: #F00;
}

Edit: Added wildcard (*) as suggested by David

How to determine the current iPhone/device model?

Swift 5.3, both device & simulator updated to end of 2020

with the new iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro , iPhone 12 Pro Max and the new latest iPad Air 9.7'' 4th gen, iPad 9.7'' 8th gen, iPad Pro 12.9'' 4th gen and iPad Pro 11'' 2nd gen. (new update with also all iPods, Apple Watches and Apple TVs)

This method detects the correct model even if it's a simulator. (The exact name for the simulator device model running in your simulator)

Usage: You can simply get the device model with:

let deviceType = UIDevice().type

or print the exact string with:

print("Running on: \(UIDevice().type)")
Output -> "iPhone X"

Another example with cases:

var myDefaultFontSize: CGFloat = 26.0
switch UIDevice().type {
    case .iPhoneSE, .iPhone5, .iPhone5S: print("default value")
    case .iPhone6, .iPhone7, .iPhone8, .iPhone6S, .iPhoneX: myDefaultFontSize += 4
    default: break
}

SMTP server response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

Problem Solved,

I edited the file /etc/postfix/master.cf

and commented

-o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject

and changed the line from

-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt 

to

-o smtpd_tls_security_level=may

And worked on fine

Two's Complement in Python

>>> bits_in_word=12
>>> int('111111111111',2)-(1<<bits_in_word)
-1

This works because:

The two's complement of a binary number is defined as the value obtained by subtracting the number from a large power of two (specifically, from 2^N for an N-bit two's complement). The two's complement of the number then behaves like the negative of the original number in most arithmetic, and it can coexist with positive numbers in a natural way.

How to use PHP to connect to sql server

for further investigation: print out the mssql error message:

$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) or die("Could not connect to database: ".mssql_get_last_message()); 

It is also important to specify the port: On MS SQL Server 2000, separate it with a comma:

$myServer = "10.85.80.229:1443";

or

$myServer = "10.85.80.229,1443";

How to get the path of src/test/resources directory in JUnit?

I would simply use Path from Java 7

In PHP how can you clear a WSDL cache?

Edit your php.ini file, search for soap.wsdl_cache_enabled and set the value to 0

[soap]
; Enables or disables WSDL caching feature.
; http://php.net/soap.wsdl-cache-enabled
soap.wsdl_cache_enabled=0

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 2 column 1 (char 190)

I was parsing JSON from a REST API call and got this error. It turns out the API had become "fussier" (eg about order of parameters etc) and so was returning malformed results. Check that you are getting what you expect :)

jQuery prevent change for select

None of the answers worked well for me. The easy solution in my case was:

$("#selectToNotAllow").focus(function(e) {
    $("#someOtherTextfield").focus();
});

This accomplishes clicking or tabbing to the select drop down and simply moves the focus to a different field (a nearby text input that was set to readonly) when attempting to focus on the select. May sound like silly trickery, but very effective.

How to check if a socket is connected/disconnected in C#?

The best way is simply to have your client send a PING every X seconds, and for the server to assume it is disconnected after not having received one for a while.

I encountered the same issue as you when using sockets, and this was the only way I could do it. The socket.connected property was never correct.

In the end though, I switched to using WCF because it was far more reliable than sockets.

How to plot a function curve in R

I did some searching on the web, and this are some ways that I found:

The easiest way is using curve without predefined function

curve(x^2, from=1, to=50, , xlab="x", ylab="y")

enter image description here

You can also use curve when you have a predfined function

eq = function(x){x*x}
curve(eq, from=1, to=50, xlab="x", ylab="y")

enter image description here

If you want to use ggplot,

library("ggplot2")
eq = function(x){x*x}
ggplot(data.frame(x=c(1, 50)), aes(x=x)) + 
  stat_function(fun=eq)

enter image description here

How to add custom validation to an AngularJS form?

Some great examples and libs presented in this thread, but they didn't quite have what I was looking for. My approach: angular-validity -- a promise based validation lib for asynchronous validation, with optional Bootstrap styling baked-in.

An angular-validity solution for the OP's use case might look something like this:

<input  type="text" name="field4" ng-model="field4"
        validity="eval"
        validity-eval="!(field1 && field2 && field3 && !field4)"
        validity-message-eval="This field is required">

Here's a Fiddle, if you want to take it for a spin. The lib is available on GitHub, has detailed documentation, and plenty of live demos.

How to copy a string of std::string type in C++?

You shouldn't use strcpy() to copy a std::string, only use it for C-Style strings.

If you want to copy a to b then just use the = operator.

string a = "text";
string b = "image";
b = a;

Maven error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher

The solution for later versions of Maven is straight-forward. I am on OS X ElCap, 10.11.6 and upgraded to Maven 3.3.9. I had the same problem with error "Could not find ...org.codehaus.plexus...". The link provided here offered the solution in a comment by McKamey - simply delete M2_HOME (unset M2_HOME). Once I tried that, it all worked as expected.

This can be confirmed by visiting the Maven install page: "Add the bin directory of the created directory apache-maven-3.3.9 to the PATH environment variable" -- no mention of M2_HOME or M3_HOME at all.

SQL Inner Join On Null Values

This article has a good discussion on this issue. You can use

SELECT * 
FROM Y
INNER JOIN X ON EXISTS(SELECT X.QID 
                       INTERSECT 
                       SELECT y.QID);

Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

If you have a problem in Android Studio and you have installed Android N, change the Android rendering version with an older one and the problem will disappear.

        this.roundRect(x, y, w, h, r);
        this.fill();
    };
    /** @expose */
    CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.strokeRoundRect = function(x, y, w, h, r) {
        this.roundRect(x, y, w, h, r);
        this.stroke();
    };
}

Since Opera is going WebKit, this should also remain valid in the legacy case.

How to install Visual C++ Build tools?

The current version (2019/03/07) is Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. It's an online installer, you need to include at least the individual components:

  • VC++ 2017 version xx.x tools
  • Windows SDK to use standard libraries.

When is del useful in Python?

Once I had to use:

del serial
serial = None

because using only:

serial = None

didn't release the serial port fast enough to immediately open it again. From that lesson I learned that del really meant: "GC this NOW! and wait until it's done" and that is really useful in a lot of situations. Of course, you may have a system.gc.del_this_and_wait_balbalbalba(obj).

Assign static IP to Docker container

You can set the IP while running it.

docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -dit imagename /bin/sh -c "/sbin/ip addr add 172.17.0.12 dev eth0; bash"

See my example at https://github.com/RvdGijp/mariadb-10.1-galera

How do I get the value of text input field using JavaScript?

Just try this ..

_x000D_
_x000D_
function handleValueChange() {
    var y = document.getElementById('textbox_id').value;
    var x = document.getElementById('result');
    x.innerHTML = y;
}

function changeTextarea() {
  var a = document.getElementById('text-area').value;
  var b = document.getElementById('text-area-result');
  b.innerHTML = a;
}
_x000D_
input {
  padding: 5px;
}

p {
  white-space: pre;
}
_x000D_
<input type="text" id="textbox_id" placeholder="Enter string here..." oninput="handleValueChange()">
<p id="result"></p>

<textarea name="" id="text-area" cols="20" rows="5" oninput="changeTextarea()"></textarea>
<p id="text-area-result"></p>

How to set xlim and ylim for a subplot in matplotlib

You should use the OO interface to matplotlib, rather than the state machine interface. Almost all of the plt.* function are thin wrappers that basically do gca().*.

plt.subplot returns an axes object. Once you have a reference to the axes object you can plot directly to it, change its limits, etc.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax1 = plt.subplot(131)
ax1.scatter([1, 2], [3, 4])
ax1.set_xlim([0, 5])
ax1.set_ylim([0, 5])


ax2 = plt.subplot(132)
ax2.scatter([1, 2],[3, 4])
ax2.set_xlim([0, 5])
ax2.set_ylim([0, 5])

and so on for as many axes as you want.

or better, wrap it all up in a loop:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

DATA_x = ([1, 2],
          [2, 3],
          [3, 4])

DATA_y = DATA_x[::-1]

XLIMS = [[0, 10]] * 3
YLIMS = [[0, 10]] * 3

for j, (x, y, xlim, ylim) in enumerate(zip(DATA_x, DATA_y, XLIMS, YLIMS)):
    ax = plt.subplot(1, 3, j + 1)
    ax.scatter(x, y)
    ax.set_xlim(xlim)
    ax.set_ylim(ylim)

jQuery: read text file from file system

A workaround for this I used was to include the data as a js file, that implements a function returning the raw data as a string:

html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadData() {
      // getData() will return the string of data...
      document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = getData().replace('\n', '<br>');
    }
  </script>
</head>

<body onload='loadData()'>
  <h1>check out the data!</h1>
  <div id='data'></div>
</body>

</html>

script.js:

// function wrapper, just return the string of data (csv etc)
function getData () {
    return 'look at this line of data\n\
oh, look at this line'
}

See it in action here- http://plnkr.co/edit/EllyY7nsEjhLMIZ4clyv?p=preview The downside is you have to do some preprocessing on the file to support multilines (append each line in the string with '\n\').

Bash Shell Script - Check for a flag and grab its value

Use $# to grab the number of arguments, if it is unequal to 2 there are not enough arguments provided:

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
   usage;
fi

Next, check if $1 equals -t, otherwise an unknown flag was used:

if [ "$1" != "-t" ]; then
  usage;
fi

Finally store $2 in FLAG:

FLAG=$2

Note: usage() is some function showing the syntax. For example:

function usage {
   cat << EOF
Usage: script.sh -t <application>

Performs some activity
EOF
   exit 1
}

ArrayList insertion and retrieval order

Yes it remains the same. but why not easily test it? Make an ArrayList, fill it and then retrieve the elements!

Adding a user on .htpasswd

FWIW, htpasswd -n username will output the result directly to stdout, and avoid touching files altogether.
