Indexes of all occurrences of character in a string

This can be done by iterating myString and shifting fromIndex parameter in indexOf():

  int currentIndex = 0;

  while (
    myString.indexOf(
      mySubstring,
      currentIndex) >= 0) {

    System.out.println(currentIndex);

    currentIndex++;
  }

SQLite UPSERT / UPDATE OR INSERT

This is a late answer. Starting from SQLIte 3.24.0, released on June 4, 2018, there is finally a support for UPSERT clause following PostgreSQL syntax.

INSERT INTO players (user_name, age)
  VALUES('steven', 32) 
  ON CONFLICT(user_name) 
  DO UPDATE SET age=excluded.age;

Note: For those having to use a version of SQLite earlier than 3.24.0, please reference this answer below (posted by me, @MarqueIV).

However if you do have the option to upgrade, you are strongly encouraged to do so as unlike my solution, the one posted here achieves the desired behavior in a single statement. Plus you get all the other features, improvements and bug fixes that usually come with a more recent release.

A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server

It happened to me when I was trying to restore a SQL database and checked following Check Box in Options tab,

As it's a stand alone database server just closing down SSMS and reopening it solved the issue for me.

lexical or preprocessor issue file not found occurs while archiving?

In my case I was developing a framework and had a test application inside it, what was missing is inside the test application target -> build settings -> Framework Search Paths:

The value needed to be the framework path (the build output - .framework) which is in my case: "../FrameworkNameFolder/" - the 2 points indicates to go one folder up.

Also, inside the test application target -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries:

I had to remove the framework file, clean the project, add the framework file again, compile and this also solved the issue.

Multiple INNER JOIN SQL ACCESS

Access requires parentheses in the FROM clause for queries which include more than one join. Try it this way ...

FROM
    ((tbl_employee
    INNER JOIN tbl_netpay
    ON tbl_employee.emp_id = tbl_netpay.emp_id)
    INNER JOIN tbl_gross
    ON tbl_employee.emp_id = tbl_gross.emp_ID)
    INNER JOIN tbl_tax
    ON tbl_employee.emp_id = tbl_tax.emp_ID;

If possible, use the Access query designer to set up your joins. The designer will add parentheses as required to keep the db engine happy.

Enabling WiFi on Android Emulator

Apparently it does not and I didn't quite expect it would. HOWEVER Ivan brings up a good possibility that has escaped Android people.

What is the purpose of an emulator? to EMULATE, right? I don't see why for testing purposes -provided the tester understands the limitations- the emulator might not add a Wifi emulator.

It could for example emulate WiFi access by using the underlying internet connection of the host. Obviously testing WPA/WEP differencess would not make sense but at least it could toggle access via WiFi.

Or some sort of emulator plugin where there would be a base WiFi emulator that would emulate WiFi access via the underlying connection but then via configuration it could emulate WPA/WEP by providing a list of fake WiFi networks and their corresponding fake passwords that would be matched against a configurable list of credentials.

After all the idea is to do initial testing on the emulator and then move on to the actual device.

How to determine whether a given Linux is 32 bit or 64 bit?

If you were running a 64 bit platform you would see x86_64 or something very similar in the output from uname -a

To get your specific machine hardware name run

uname -m

You can also call

getconf LONG_BIT

which returns either 32 or 64

Best way to find the months between two dates

Here is a method:

def months_between(start_dt, stop_dt):
    month_list = []
    total_months = 12*(stop_dt.year-start_dt.year)+(stop_dt.month-start_d.month)+1
    if total_months > 0:
        month_list=[ datetime.date(start_dt.year+int((start_dt+i-1)/12), 
                                   ((start_dt-1+i)%12)+1,
                                   1) for i in xrange(0,total_months) ]
    return month_list

This is first computing the total number of months between the two dates, inclusive. Then it creates a list using the first date as the base and performs modula arithmetic to create the date objects.

Sorting arrays in javascript by object key value

here's an example with the accepted answer:

 a = [{name:"alex"},{name:"clex"},{name:"blex"}];

For Ascending :

a.sort((a,b)=> (a.name > b.name ? 1 : -1))

output : [{name: "alex"}, {name: "blex"},{name: "clex"} ]

For Decending :

a.sort((a,b)=> (a.name < b.name ? 1 : -1))

output : [{name: "clex"}, {name: "blex"}, {name: "alex"}]

How to save an image locally using Python whose URL address I already know?

Late answer, but for python>=3.6 you can use dload, i.e.:

import dload
dload.save("http://www.digimouth.com/news/media/2011/09/google-logo.jpg")

if you need the image as bytes, use:

img_bytes = dload.bytes("http://www.digimouth.com/news/media/2011/09/google-logo.jpg")

install using pip3 install dload

Could not load file or assembly "Oracle.DataAccess" or one of its dependencies

You may need to enable 32-bit applications in your AppPool. Go to > 'Application Pool' in IIS => right click your app pool => advance setting => 'enable 32 bit application' to true.

Please don't forget to restart your app pool and your corresponding application pointing to that app pool.

Can overridden methods differ in return type?

well, the answer is yes... AND NO.

depends on the question. everybody here answered regarding Java >= 5, and some mentioned that Java < 5 does not feature covariant return types.

actually, the Java language spec >= 5 supports it, but the Java runtime does not. in particular, the JVM was not updated to support covariant return types.

in what was seen then as a "clever" move but ended up being one of the worst design decisions in Java's history, Java 5 implemented a bunch of new language features without modifying the JVM or the classfile spec at all. instead all features were implemented with trickery in javac: the compiler generates/uses plain classes for nested/inner classes, type erasure and casts for generics, synthetic accessors for nested/inner class private "friendship", synthetic instance fields for outer 'this' pointers, synthetic static fields for '.class' literals, etc, etc.

and covariant return types is yet more syntactic sugar added by javac.

for example, when compiling this:

class Base {
  Object get() { return null; }
}

class Derived extends Base {
  @Override
  @SomeAnnotation
  Integer get() { return null; }
}

javac will output two get methods in the Derived class:

Integer Integer:Derived:get() { return null; }
synthetic bridge Object Object:Derived:get() { return Integer:Derived:get(); }

the generated bridge method (marked synthetic and bridge in bytecode) is what actually overrides Object:Base:get() because, to the JVM, methods with different return types are completely independent and cannot override each other. to provide the expected behavior, the bridge simply calls your "real" method. in the example above, javac will annotate both bridge and real methods in Derived with @SomeAnnotation.

note that you cannot hand-code this solution in Java < 5, because bridge and real methods only differ in return type and thus they cannot coexist in a Java program. but in the JVM world, method return types are part of the method signature (just like their arguments) and so the two methods named the same and taking the same arguments are nonetheless seen as completely independent by the JVM due to their differing return types, and can coexist.

(BTW, the types of fields are similarly part of the field signature in bytecode, so it is legal to have several fields of different types but named the same within a single bytecode class.)

so to answer your question fully: the JVM does not support covariant return types, but javac >= 5 fakes it at compile time with a coating of sweet syntactic sugar.

What's the best way to detect a 'touch screen' device using JavaScript?

This one works well even in Windows Surface tablets !!!

function detectTouchSupport {
msGesture = window.navigator && window.navigator.msPointerEnabled && window.MSGesture,
touchSupport = (( "ontouchstart" in window ) || msGesture || window.DocumentTouch &&     document instanceof DocumentTouch);
if(touchSupport) {
    $("html").addClass("ci_touch");
}
else {
    $("html").addClass("ci_no_touch");
}
}

How to style a JSON block in Github Wiki?

How can I create a border around an Android LinearLayout?

error_reporting(E_ALL) does not produce error

That error is a parse error. The parser is throwing it while going through the code, trying to understand it. No code is being executed yet in the parsing stage. Because of that it hasn't yet executed the error_reporting line, therefore the error reporting settings aren't changed yet.

You cannot change error reporting settings (or really, do anything) in a file with syntax errors.

How to escape special characters in building a JSON string?

To allow single quotes within doubule quoted string for the purpose of json, you double the single quote. {"X": "What's the question"} ==> {"X": "What''s the question"}

The \' sequence is invalid.

Scanner vs. StringTokenizer vs. String.Split

I recently did some experiments about the bad performance of String.split() in highly performance sensitive situations. You may find this useful.

http://eblog.chrononsystems.com/hidden-evils-of-javas-stringsplit-and-stringr

The gist is that String.split() compiles a Regular Expression pattern each time and can thus slow down your program, compared to if you use a precompiled Pattern object and use it directly to operate on a String.

In a javascript array, how do I get the last 5 elements, excluding the first element?

You can call:

arr.slice(Math.max(arr.length - 5, 1))

If you don't want to exclude the first element, use

arr.slice(Math.max(arr.length - 5, 0))

What's onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

If you save the state of the application in a bundle (typically non-persistent, dynamic data in onSaveInstanceState), it can be passed back to onCreate if the activity needs to be recreated (e.g., orientation change) so that you don't lose this prior information. If no data was supplied, savedInstanceState is null.

... you should use the onPause() method to write any persistent data (such as user edits) to storage. In addition, the method onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) is called before placing the activity in such a background state, allowing you to save away any dynamic instance state in your activity into the given Bundle, to be later received in onCreate(Bundle) if the activity needs to be re-created. See the Process Lifecycle section for more information on how the lifecycle of a process is tied to the activities it is hosting. Note that it is important to save persistent data in onPause() instead of onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) because the latter is not part of the lifecycle callbacks, so will not be called in every situation as described in its documentation.

How do I read / convert an InputStream into a String in Java?

Apache Commons allows:

Storing Form Data as a Session Variable

That's perfectly fine and will work. But to use sessions you have to put session_start(); on the first line of the php code. So basically

SQL recursive query on self referencing table (Oracle)

Use:

    SELECT t1.id, 
           t1.parent_id, 
           t1.name,
           t2.name AS parent_name,
           t2.id AS parent_id
      FROM tbl t1
 LEFT JOIN tbl t2 ON t2.id = t1.parent_id
START WITH t1.id = 1 
CONNECT BY PRIOR t1.id = t1.parent_id

End of File (EOF) in C

EOF is -1 because that's how it's defined. The name is provided by the standard library headers that you #include. They make it equal to -1 because it has to be something that can't be mistaken for an actual byte read by getchar(). getchar() reports the values of actual bytes using positive number (0 up to 255 inclusive), so -1 works fine for this.

The != operator means "not equal". 0 stands for false, and anything else stands for true. So what happens is, we call the getchar() function, and compare the result to -1 (EOF). If the result was not equal to EOF, then the result is true, because things that are not equal are not equal. If the result was equal to EOF, then the result is false, because things that are equal are not (not equal).

The call to getchar() returns EOF when you reach the "end of file". As far as C is concerned, the 'standard input' (the data you are giving to your program by typing in the command window) is just like a file. Of course, you can always type more, so you need an explicit way to say "I'm done". On Windows systems, this is control-Z. On Unix systems, this is control-D.

The example in the book is not "wrong". It depends on what you actually want to do. Reading until EOF means that you read everything, until the user says "I'm done", and then you can't read any more. Reading until '\n' means that you read a line of input. Reading until '\0' is a bad idea if you expect the user to type the input, because it is either hard or impossible to produce this byte with a keyboard at the command prompt :)

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

This is how a browser interprets and empty href. It assumes you want to link back to the page that you are on. This is the same as if you dont assign an action to a <form> element.

If you add any word in the href it will append it to the current page unless you:

Add a slash / to the front of it telling it to append it to your base url e.g. http://www.whatever.com/something
add a # sign in which case it is an in-page anchor
or a valid URL

EDIT: It was suggested that I add a link to help clarify the situation. I found the following site that I think does a really good job explaining the href attribute of anchor tags and how it interprets URL paths. It is not incredibly technical and very human-readable. It uses lots of examples to illustrate the differences between the path types: http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/html/hyperlinks.html

How to read HDF5 files in Python

If you have named datasets in the hdf file then you can use the following code to read and convert these datasets in numpy arrays:

import h5py
file = h5py.File('filename.h5', 'r')

xdata = file.get('xdata')
xdata= np.array(xdata)

If your file is in a different directory you can add the path in front of'filename.h5'.

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

All is explained quite nicely on gruntjs.com.

Note that installing grunt-cli does not install the grunt task runner! The job of the grunt CLI is simple: run the version of grunt which has been installed next to a Gruntfile. This allows multiple versions of grunt to be installed on the same machine simultaneously.

So in your project folder, you will need to install (preferably) the latest grunt version:

npm install grunt --save-dev

Option --save-dev will add grunt as a dev-dependency to your package.json. This makes it easy to reinstall dependencies.

Equivalent of jQuery .hide() to set visibility: hidden

An even simpler way to do this is to use jQuery's toggleClass() method

CSS

.newClass{visibility: hidden}

HTML

<a href="#" class=trigger>Trigger Element </a>
<div class="hidden_element">Some Content</div>

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".trigger").click(function(){
        $(".hidden_element").toggleClass("newClass");
    });
});

Concatenate two PySpark dataframes

Maybe you can try creating the unexisting columns and calling union (unionAll for Spark 1.6 or lower):

cols = ['id', 'uniform', 'normal', 'normal_2']    

df_1_new = df_1.withColumn("normal_2", lit(None)).select(cols)
df_2_new = df_2.withColumn("normal", lit(None)).select(cols)

result = df_1_new.union(df_2_new)

HTML5 File API read as text and binary

Note in 2018: readAsBinaryString is outdated. For use cases where previously you'd have used it, these days you'd use readAsArrayBuffer (or in some cases, readAsDataURL) instead.

readAsBinaryString says that the data must be represented as a binary string, where:

...every byte is represented by an integer in the range [0..255].

JavaScript originally didn't have a "binary" type (until ECMAScript 5's WebGL support of Typed Array* (details below) -- it has been superseded by ECMAScript 2015's ArrayBuffer) and so they went with a String with the guarantee that no character stored in the String would be outside the range 0..255. (They could have gone with an array of Numbers instead, but they didn't; perhaps large Strings are more memory-efficient than large arrays of Numbers, since Numbers are floating-point.)

If you're reading a file that's mostly text in a western script (mostly English, for instance), then that string is going to look a lot like text. If you read a file with Unicode characters in it, you should notice a difference, since JavaScript strings are UTF-16** (details below) and so some characters will have values above 255, whereas a "binary string" according to the File API spec wouldn't have any values above 255 (you'd have two individual "characters" for the two bytes of the Unicode code point).

If you're reading a file that's not text at all (an image, perhaps), you'll probably still get a very similar result between readAsText and readAsBinaryString, but with readAsBinaryString you know that there won't be any attempt to interpret multi-byte sequences as characters. You don't know that if you use readAsText, because readAsText will use an encoding determination to try to figure out what the file's encoding is and then map it to JavaScript's UTF-16 strings.

You can see the effect if you create a file and store it in something other than ASCII or UTF-8. (In Windows you can do this via Notepad; the "Save As" as an encoding drop-down with "Unicode" on it, by which looking at the data they seem to mean UTF-16; I'm sure Mac OS and *nix editors have a similar feature.) Here's a page that dumps the result of reading a file both ways:

            return;

If I use that with a "Testing 1 2 3" file stored in UTF-16, here are the results I get:

Text (13):

54 65 73 74 69 6e 67 20 31 20 32 20 33

Binary (28):

ff fe 54 00 65 00 73 00 74 00 69 00 6e 00 67 00 20 00 31 00 20 00 32 00 20 00 33 00

As you can see, readAsText interpreted the characters and so I got 13 (the length of "Testing 1 2 3"), and readAsBinaryString didn't, and so I got 28 (the two-byte BOM plus two bytes for each character).

* XMLHttpRequest.response with responseType = "arraybuffer" is supported in HTML 5.

** "JavaScript strings are UTF-16" may seem like an odd statement; aren't they just Unicode? No, a JavaScript string is a series of UTF-16 code units; you see surrogate pairs as two individual JavaScript "characters" even though, in fact, the surrogate pair as a whole is just one character. See the link for details.

Python string to unicode

Decode it with the unicode-escape codec:

>>> a="Hello\u2026"
>>> a.decode('unicode-escape')
u'Hello\u2026'
>>> print _
Hello…

This is because for a non-unicode string the \u2026 is not recognised but is instead treated as a literal series of characters (to put it more clearly, 'Hello\\u2026'). You need to decode the escapes, and the unicode-escape codec can do that for you.

Note that you can get unicode to recognise it in the same way by specifying the codec argument:

>>> unicode(a, 'unicode-escape')
u'Hello\u2026'

But the a.decode() way is nicer.

Java ArrayList of Doubles

How to create new div dynamically, change it, move it, modify it in every way possible, in JavaScript?

Creation var div = document.createElement('div');
Addition document.body.appendChild(div);
Style manipulation
- Positioning div.style.left = '32px'; div.style.top = '-16px';
- Classes div.className = 'ui-modal';
Modification
- ID div.id = 'test';
- contents (using HTML) div.innerHTML = '<span class="msg">Hello world.</span>';
- contents (using text) div.textContent = 'Hello world.';
Removal div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
Accessing
- by ID div = document.getElementById('test');
- by tags array = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
- by class array = document.getElementsByClassName('ui-modal');
- by CSS selector (single) div = document.querySelector('div #test .ui-modal');
- by CSS selector (multi) array = document.querySelectorAll('div');
Relations (text nodes included)
- children node = div.childNodes[i];
- sibling node = div.nextSibling;
Relations (HTML elements only)
- children element = div.children[i];
- sibling element = div.nextElementSibling;

This covers the basics of DOM manipulation. Remember, element addition to the body or a body-contained node is required for the newly created node to be visible within the document.

"column not allowed here" error in INSERT statement

What you missed is " " in postcode because it is a varchar.

There are two ways of inserting.

When you created a table Table created. and you add a row just after creating it, you can use the following method.

INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);

1 row created.

You've added so many tables, or it is saved and you are reopening it, you need to mention the table's column name too or else it will display the same error.

ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00984: column not allowed here


INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3,...)
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);

1 row created.

Why does sudo change the PATH?

This is ~~an annoying function~~ a feature of sudo on many distributions.

To work around this "problem" on ubuntu I do the following in my ~/.bashrc

alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'

Note the above will work for commands that don't reset the $PATH themselves. However `su' resets it's $PATH so you must use -p to tell it not to. I.E.:

sudo su -p

Printing *s as triangles in Java?

Hint: For each row, you need to first print some spaces and then print some stars. The number of spaces should decrease by one per row, while the number of stars should increase.

For the centered output, increase the number of stars by two for each row.

Sql Server equivalent of a COUNTIF aggregate function

How about

SELECT id, COUNT(IF status=42 THEN 1 ENDIF) AS cnt
FROM table
GROUP BY table

Shorter than CASE :)

Works because COUNT() doesn't count null values, and IF/CASE return null when condition is not met and there is no ELSE.

I think it's better than using SUM().

What is sys.maxint in Python 3?

If you are looking for a number that is bigger than all others:

Method 1:

float('inf')

Method 2:

import sys
max = sys.maxsize

If you are looking for a number that is smaller than all others:

Method 1:

float('-inf')

Method 2:

import sys
min = -sys.maxsize - 1

Method 1 works in both Python2 and Python3. Method 2 works in Python3. I have not tried Method 2 in Python2.

How to compare Boolean?

Regarding the performance of the direct operations and the method .equals(). The .equals() methods seems to be roughly 4 times slower than ==.

I ran the following tests..

For the performance of ==:

public class BooleanPerfCheck {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long frameStart;
        long elapsedTime;

        boolean heyderr = false;

        frameStart = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (int i = 0; i < 999999999; i++) {
            if (heyderr == false) {
            }
        }

        elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - frameStart;
        System.out.println(elapsedTime);
    }
}

and for the performance of .equals():

public class BooleanPerfCheck {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long frameStart;
        long elapsedTime;

        Boolean heyderr = false;

        frameStart = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (int i = 0; i < 999999999; i++) {
            if (heyderr.equals(false)) {
            }
        }

        elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - frameStart;
        System.out.println(elapsedTime);
    }
}

Total system time for == was 1

Total system time for .equals() varied from 3 - 5

Thus, it is safe to say that .equals() hinders performance and that == is better to use in most cases to compare Boolean.

PHP multiline string with PHP

The internal set of single quotes in your code is killing the string. Whenever you hit a single quote it ends the string and continues processing. You'll want something like:

$thisstring = 'this string is long \' in needs escaped single quotes or nothing will run';

Math.random() versus Random.nextInt(int)

Here is the detailed explanation of why "Random.nextInt(n) is both more efficient and less biased than Math.random() * n" from the Sun forums post that Gili linked to:

Math.random() uses Random.nextDouble() internally.

Random.nextDouble() uses Random.next() twice to generate a double that has approximately uniformly distributed bits in its mantissa, so it is uniformly distributed in the range 0 to 1-(2^-53).

Random.nextInt(n) uses Random.next() less than twice on average- it uses it once, and if the value obtained is above the highest multiple of n below MAX_INT it tries again, otherwise is returns the value modulo n (this prevents the values above the highest multiple of n below MAX_INT skewing the distribution), so returning a value which is uniformly distributed in the range 0 to n-1.

Prior to scaling by 6, the output of Math.random() is one of 2^53 possible values drawn from a uniform distribution.

Scaling by 6 doesn't alter the number of possible values, and casting to an int then forces these values into one of six 'buckets' (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), each bucket corresponding to ranges encompassing either 1501199875790165 or 1501199875790166 of the possible values (as 6 is not a disvisor of 2^53). This means that for a sufficient number of dice rolls (or a die with a sufficiently large number of sides), the die will show itself to be biased towards the larger buckets.

You will be waiting a very long time rolling dice for this effect to show up.

Math.random() also requires about twice the processing and is subject to synchronization.

Missing Authentication Token while accessing API Gateway?

If you enable AWS_IAM authentication you must sign your request with AWS credentials using AWS Signature Version 4.

Note: signing into the AWS console does not automatically sign your browser's requests to your API.

What is the default lifetime of a session?

According to a user on PHP.net site, his efforts to keep session alive failed, so he had to make a workaround.

<?php

$Lifetime = 3600;
$separator = (strstr(strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)), "WIN")) ? "\\" : "/";

$DirectoryPath = dirname(__FILE__) . "{$separator}SessionData";
//in Wamp for Windows the result for $DirectoryPath
//would be C:\wamp\www\your_site\SessionData

is_dir($DirectoryPath) or mkdir($DirectoryPath, 0777);

if (ini_get("session.use_trans_sid") == true) {
    ini_set("url_rewriter.tags", "");
    ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", false);

}

ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", $Lifetime);
ini_set("session.gc_divisor", "1");
ini_set("session.gc_probability", "1");
ini_set("session.cookie_lifetime", "0");
ini_set("session.save_path", $DirectoryPath);
session_start();

?>

In SessionData folder it will be stored text files for holding session information, each file would be have a name similar to "sess_a_big_hash_here".

++i or i++ in for loops ??

++i is a pre-increment; i++ is post-increment.
The downside of post-increment is that it generates an extra value; it returns a copy of the old value while modifying i. Thus, you should avoid it when possible.

How to solve the “failed to lazily initialize a collection of role” Hibernate exception

In my case following code was a problem:

entityManager.detach(topicById);
topicById.getComments() // exception thrown

Because it detached from the database and Hibernate no longer retrieved list from the field when it was needed. So I initialize it before detaching:

Hibernate.initialize(topicById.getComments());
entityManager.detach(topicById);
topicById.getComments() // works like a charm

D3 transform scale and translate

Scott Murray wrote a great explanation of this^[1]. For instance, for the code snippet:

svg.append("g")
    .attr("class", "axis")
    .attr("transform", "translate(0," + h + ")")
    .call(xAxis);

He explains using the following:

Note that we use attr() to apply transform as an attribute of g. SVG transforms are quite powerful, and can accept several different kinds of transform definitions, including scales and rotations. But we are keeping it simple here with only a translation transform, which simply pushes the whole g group over and down by some amount.

Translation transforms are specified with the easy syntax of translate(x,y), where x and y are, obviously, the number of horizontal and vertical pixels by which to translate the element.

pypi UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'

In conclusion:

distutils doesn't support install_requires or entry_points, setuptools does.

change from distutils.core import setup in setup.py to from setuptools import setup or refactor your setup.py to use only distutils features.

I came here because I hadn't realized entry_points was only a setuptools feature.

If you are here wanting to convert setuptools to distutils like me:

remove install_requires from setup.py and just use requirements.txt with pip
change entry_points to scripts (doc) and refactor any modules relying on entry_points to be full scripts with shebangs and an entry point.

Routing with Multiple Parameters using ASP.NET MVC

You can pass arbitrary parameters through the query string, but you can also set up custom routes to handle it in a RESTful way:

http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.getimages&artist=cher&
                                  api_key=b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026

That could be:

routes.MapRoute(
    "ArtistsImages",
    "{ws}/artists/{artist}/{action}/{*apikey}",
    new { ws = "2.0", controller="artists" artist = "", action="", apikey="" }
    );

So if someone used the following route:

ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/artists/cher/images/b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026/

It would take them to the same place your example querystring did.

The above is just an example, and doesn't apply the business rules and constraints you'd have to set up to make sure people didn't 'hack' the URL.

How do you get a string from a MemoryStream?

A slightly modified version of Brian's answer allows optional management of read start, This seems to be the easiest method. probably not the most efficient, but easy to understand and use.

Public Function ReadAll(ByVal memStream As MemoryStream, Optional ByVal startPos As Integer = 0) As String
    ' reset the stream or we'll get an empty string returned
    ' remember the position so we can restore it later
    Dim Pos = memStream.Position
    memStream.Position = startPos

    Dim reader As New StreamReader(memStream)
    Dim str = reader.ReadToEnd()

    ' reset the position so that subsequent writes are correct
    memStream.Position = Pos

    Return str
End Function

UIViewController viewDidLoad vs. viewWillAppear: What is the proper division of labor?

Initially used only ViewDidLoad with tableView. On testing with loss of Wifi, by setting device to airplane mode, realized that the table did not refresh with return of Wifi. In fact, there appears to be no way to refresh tableView on the device even by hitting the home button with background mode set to YES in -Info.plist.

My solution:

-(void) viewWillAppear: (BOOL) animated { [self.tableView reloadData];}

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer

You're trying to open each file twice! First you do:

infile=open('110331_HS1A_1_rtTA.result','r')

and then you pass infile (which is a file object) to the open function again:

with open (infile, mode='r', buffering=-1)

open is of course expecting its first argument to be a file name, not an opened file!

Open the file once only and you should be fine.

Make a dictionary in Python from input values

n = int(input())          #n is the number of items you want to enter
d ={}                     
for i in range(n):        
    text = input().split()     #split the input text based on space & store in the list 'text'
    d[text[0]] = text[1]       #assign the 1st item to key and 2nd item to value of the dictionary
print(d)

INPUT:

3

A1023 CRT

A1029 Regulator

A1030 Therm

NOTE: I have added an extra line for each input for getting each input on individual lines on this site. As placing without an extra line creates a single line.

OUTPUT:

{'A1023': 'CRT', 'A1029': 'Regulator', 'A1030': 'Therm'}

What are best practices for multi-language database design?

I recommend the answer posted by Martin.

But you seem to be concerned about your queries getting too complex:

To create localized table for every table is making design and querying complex...

So you might be thinking, that instead of writing simple queries like this:

SELECT price, name, description FROM Products WHERE price < 100

...you would need to start writing queries like that:

SELECT
  p.price, pt.name, pt.description
FROM
  Products p JOIN ProductTranslations pt
  ON (p.id = pt.id AND pt.lang = "en")
WHERE
  price < 100

Not a very pretty perspective.

But instead of doing it manually you should develop your own database access class, that pre-parses the SQL that contains your special localization markup and converts it to the actual SQL you will need to send to the database.

Using that system might look something like this:

db.setLocale("en");
db.query("SELECT p.price, _(p.name), _(p.description)
          FROM _(Products p) WHERE price < 100");

And I'm sure you can do even better that that.

The key is to have your tables and fields named in uniform way.

Dealing with multiple Python versions and PIP?

If you have both python3.6 and python3.7 installed and want to use pip with python3.7 by default, here's what you should do:

First make sure you have pip installed for python3.7

python3.7 -m pip install -U pip

Now pip3.7 must be available, so we edit .bashrc

nano ~/.bashrc

adding the following line to it

alias pip=pip3.7

In order for the changes to take effect type in the shell:

source ~/.bashrc

Now if you type:

pip --version

you should get:

pip 20.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pip (python 3.7)

which means, if you use, for example:

pip install <package>

it would install the <package> for python3.7

Alternate table row color using CSS?

You have the :nth-child() pseudo-class:

table tr:nth-child(odd) td{
    ...
}
table tr:nth-child(even) td{
    ...
}

In the early days of :nth-child() its browser support was kind of poor. That's why setting class="odd" became such a common technique. In late 2013 I'm glad to say that IE6 and IE7 are finally dead (or sick enough to stop caring) but IE8 is still around — thankfully, it's the only exception.

How do I call ::CreateProcess in c++ to launch a Windows executable?

On a semi-related note, if you want to start a process that has more privileges than your current process (say, launching an admin app, which requires Administrator rights, from the main app running as a normal user), you can't do so using CreateProcess() on Vista since it won't trigger the UAC dialog (assuming it is enabled). The UAC dialog is triggered when using ShellExecute(), though.

JBoss AS 7: How to clean up tmp?

I do not have experience with version 7 of JBoss but with 5 I often had issues when redeploying apps which went away when I cleaned the work and tmp folder. I wrote a script for that which was executed everytime the server shut down. Maybe executing it before startup is better considering abnormal shutdowns (which weren't uncommon with Jboss 5 :))

Why is it important to override GetHashCode when Equals method is overridden?

As of .NET 4.7 the preferred method of overriding GetHashCode() is shown below. If targeting older .NET versions, include the System.ValueTuple nuget package.

// C# 7.0+
public override int GetHashCode() => (FooId, FooName).GetHashCode();

In terms of performance, this method will outperform most composite hash code implementations. The ValueTuple is a struct so there won't be any garbage, and the underlying algorithm is as fast as it gets.

Accessing Object Memory Address

While it's true that id(object) gets the object's address in the default CPython implementation, this is generally useless... you can't do anything with the address from pure Python code.

The only time you would actually be able to use the address is from a C extension library... in which case it is trivial to get the object's address since Python objects are always passed around as C pointers.

How can I count the number of elements with same class?

$('#maindivid').find('input .inputclass').length

document.getElementById vs jQuery $()

I developed a noSQL database for storing DOM trees in Web Browsers where references to all DOM elements on page are stored in a short index. Thus function "getElementById()" is not needed to get/modify an element. When elements in DOM tree are instantiated on page the database assigns surrogate primary keys to each element. It is a free tool http://js2dx.com

Getting String Value from Json Object Android

You can use getString

String name = jsonObject.getString("name");
// it will throws exception if the key you specify doesn't exist

or optString

String name = jsonObject.optString("name");
// it will returns the empty string ("") if the key you specify doesn't exist

Can inner classes access private variables?

Anything that is part of Outer should have access to all of Outer's members, public or private.

Edit: your compiler is correct, var is not a member of Inner. But if you have a reference or pointer to an instance of Outer, it could access that.

Create a .txt file if doesn't exist, and if it does append a new line

Try this.

string path = @"E:\AppServ\Example.txt";
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
    using (var txtFile = File.AppendText(path))
    {
        txtFile.WriteLine("The very first line!");
    }
}
else if (File.Exists(path))
{     
    using (var txtFile = File.AppendText(path))
    {
        txtFile.WriteLine("The next line!");
    }
}

How to get first 5 characters from string

For single-byte strings (e.g. US-ASCII, ISO 8859 family, etc.) use substr and for multi-byte strings (e.g. UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.) use mb_substr:

// singlebyte strings
$result = substr($myStr, 0, 5);
// multibyte strings
$result = mb_substr($myStr, 0, 5);

RichTextBox (WPF) does not have string property "Text"

Using two extension methods, this becomes very easy:

public static class Ext
{
    public static void SetText(this RichTextBox richTextBox, string text)
    {
        richTextBox.Document.Blocks.Clear();
        richTextBox.Document.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run(text)));
    }

    public static string GetText(this RichTextBox richTextBox)
    {
        return new TextRange(richTextBox.Document.ContentStart,
            richTextBox.Document.ContentEnd).Text;
    }
}

Java generics - why is "extends T" allowed but not "implements T"?

In fact, when using generic on interface, the keyword is also extends. Here is the code example:

There are 2 classes that implements the Greeting interface:

interface Greeting {
    void sayHello();
}

class Dog implements Greeting {
    @Override
    public void sayHello() {
        System.out.println("Greeting from Dog: Hello ");
    }
}

class Cat implements Greeting {
    @Override
    public void sayHello() {
        System.out.println("Greeting from Cat: Hello ");
    }
}

And the test code:

@Test
public void testGeneric() {
    Collection<? extends Greeting> animals;

    List<Dog> dogs = Arrays.asList(new Dog(), new Dog(), new Dog());
    List<Cat> cats = Arrays.asList(new Cat(), new Cat(), new Cat());

    animals = dogs;
    for(Greeting g: animals) g.sayHello();

    animals = cats;
    for(Greeting g: animals) g.sayHello();
}

How to count lines in a document?

there are many ways. using wc is one.

Access to ES6 array element index inside for-of loop

In this world of flashy new native functions, we sometimes forget the basics.

for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    console.log('index:', i, 'element:', arr[i]);
}

Clean, efficient, and you can still break the loop. Bonus! You can also start from the end and go backwards with i--!

Additional note: If you're using the value a lot within the loop, you may wish to do const value = arr[i]; at the top of the loop for an easy, readable reference.

Creating lowpass filter in SciPy - understanding methods and units

A few comments:

The Nyquist frequency is half the sampling rate.
You are working with regularly sampled data, so you want a digital filter, not an analog filter. This means you should not use analog=True in the call to butter, and you should use scipy.signal.freqz (not freqs) to generate the frequency response.
One goal of those short utility functions is to allow you to leave all your frequencies expressed in Hz. You shouldn't have to convert to rad/sec. As long as you express your frequencies with consistent units, the scaling in the utility functions takes care of the normalization for you.

Here's my modified version of your script, followed by the plot that it generates.

import numpy as np
from scipy.signal import butter, lfilter, freqz
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def butter_lowpass(cutoff, fs, order=5):
    nyq = 0.5 * fs
    normal_cutoff = cutoff / nyq
    b, a = butter(order, normal_cutoff, btype='low', analog=False)
    return b, a

def butter_lowpass_filter(data, cutoff, fs, order=5):
    b, a = butter_lowpass(cutoff, fs, order=order)
    y = lfilter(b, a, data)
    return y


# Filter requirements.
order = 6
fs = 30.0       # sample rate, Hz
cutoff = 3.667  # desired cutoff frequency of the filter, Hz

# Get the filter coefficients so we can check its frequency response.
b, a = butter_lowpass(cutoff, fs, order)

# Plot the frequency response.
w, h = freqz(b, a, worN=8000)
plt.subplot(2, 1, 1)
plt.plot(0.5*fs*w/np.pi, np.abs(h), 'b')
plt.plot(cutoff, 0.5*np.sqrt(2), 'ko')
plt.axvline(cutoff, color='k')
plt.xlim(0, 0.5*fs)
plt.title("Lowpass Filter Frequency Response")
plt.xlabel('Frequency [Hz]')
plt.grid()


# Demonstrate the use of the filter.
# First make some data to be filtered.
T = 5.0         # seconds
n = int(T * fs) # total number of samples
t = np.linspace(0, T, n, endpoint=False)
# "Noisy" data.  We want to recover the 1.2 Hz signal from this.
data = np.sin(1.2*2*np.pi*t) + 1.5*np.cos(9*2*np.pi*t) + 0.5*np.sin(12.0*2*np.pi*t)

# Filter the data, and plot both the original and filtered signals.
y = butter_lowpass_filter(data, cutoff, fs, order)

plt.subplot(2, 1, 2)
plt.plot(t, data, 'b-', label='data')
plt.plot(t, y, 'g-', linewidth=2, label='filtered data')
plt.xlabel('Time [sec]')
plt.grid()
plt.legend()

plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.35)
plt.show()

onchange event on input type=range is not triggering in firefox while dragging

For a good cross-browser behavior, and understandable code, best is to use the onchange attribute in combination of a form:

_x000D_

function showVal(){
  valBox.innerHTML = inVal.value;
}

_x000D_

<form onchange="showVal()">
  <input type="range" min="5" max="10" step="1" id="inVal">
</form>

<span id="valBox"></span>

_x000D_

The same using oninput, the value is changed directly.

_x000D_

function showVal(){
  valBox.innerHTML = inVal.value;
}

_x000D_

<form oninput="showVal()">
  <input type="range" min="5" max="10" step="1" id="inVal">
</form>

<span id="valBox"></span>

_x000D_

Swift Modal View Controller with transparent background

You can do it like this:

In your main view controller:

func showModal() {
    let modalViewController = ModalViewController()
    modalViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
    presentViewController(modalViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

In your modal view controller:

class ModalViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
        view.opaque = false
    }
}

If you are working with a storyboard:

Just add a Storyboard Segue with Kind set to Present Modally to your modal view controller and on this view controller set the following values:

Background = Clear Color
Drawing = Uncheck the Opaque checkbox
Presentation = Over Current Context

As Crashalot pointed out in his comment: Make sure the segue only uses Default for both Presentation and Transition. Using Current Context for Presentation makes the modal turn black instead of remaining transparent.

Maven home (M2_HOME) not being picked up by IntelliJ IDEA

If M2_HOME is configured to point to the Maven home directory then:

Go to File -> Settings
Search for Maven
Select Runner
Insert in the field VM Options the following string:
```
Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=$M2_HOME
```

Click Apply and OK

Initializing array of structures

There's no "step-by-step" here. When initialization is performed with constant expressions, the process is essentially performed at compile time. Of course, if the array is declared as a local object, it is allocated locally and initialized at run-time, but that can be still thought of as a single-step process that cannot be meaningfully subdivided.

Designated initializers allow you to supply an initializer for a specific member of struct object (or a specific element of an array). All other members get zero-initialized. So, if my_data is declared as

typedef struct my_data {
  int a;
  const char *name;
  double x;
} my_data;

then your

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

is simply a more compact form of

my_data data[4]={
    { 0, "Peter", 0 },
    { 0, "James", 0 },
    { 0, "John", 0 },
    { 0, "Mike", 0 }
};

I hope you know what the latter does.

Why does LayoutInflater ignore the layout_width and layout_height layout parameters I've specified?

I've investigated this issue, referring to the LayoutInflater docs and setting up a small sample demonstration project. The following tutorials shows how to dynamically populate a layout using LayoutInflater.

Before we get started see what LayoutInflater.inflate() parameters look like:

resource: ID for an XML layout resource to load (e.g., R.layout.main_page)
root: Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy (if attachToRoot is true), or else simply an object that provides a set of LayoutParams values for root of the returned hierarchy (if attachToRoot is false.)
attachToRoot: Whether the inflated hierarchy should be attached to the root parameter? If false, root is only used to create the correct subclass of LayoutParams for the root view in the XML.
Returns: The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied and attachToRoot is true, this is root; otherwise it is the root of the inflated XML file.

Now for the sample layout and code.

Main layout (main.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</LinearLayout>

Added into this container is a separate TextView, visible as small red square if layout parameters are successfully applied from XML (red.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="25dp"
    android:layout_height="25dp"
    android:background="#ff0000"
    android:text="red" />

Now LayoutInflater is used with several variations of call parameters

public class InflaterTest extends Activity {

    private View view;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

      setContentView(R.layout.main);
      ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);

      // result: layout_height=wrap_content layout_width=match_parent
      view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.red, null);
      parent.addView(view);

      // result: layout_height=100 layout_width=100
      view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.red, null);
      parent.addView(view, 100, 100);

      // result: layout_height=25dp layout_width=25dp
      // view=textView due to attachRoot=false
      view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.red, parent, false);
      parent.addView(view);

      // result: layout_height=25dp layout_width=25dp 
      // parent.addView not necessary as this is already done by attachRoot=true
      // view=root due to parent supplied as hierarchy root and attachRoot=true
      view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.red, parent, true);
    }
}

The actual results of the parameter variations are documented in the code.

SYNOPSIS: Calling LayoutInflater without specifying root leads to inflate call ignoring the layout parameters from the XML. Calling inflate with root not equal null and attachRoot=true does load the layout parameters, but returns the root object again, which prevents further layout changes to the loaded object (unless you can find it using findViewById()). The calling convention you most likely would like to use is therefore this one:

loadedView = LayoutInflater.from(context)
                .inflate(R.layout.layout_to_load, parent, false);

To help with layout issues, the Layout Inspector is highly recommended.

Difference between JSONObject and JSONArray

To understand it in a easier way, following are the diffrences between JSON object and JSON array:

Link to Tabular Difference : https://i.stack.imgur.com/GIqI9.png

JSON Array

1. Arrays in JSON are used to organize a collection of related items
   (Which could be JSON objects)
2.  Array values must be of type string, number, object, array, boolean or null
3.  Syntax: 
           [ "Ford", "BMW", "Fiat" ]
4.  JSON arrays are surrounded by square brackets []. 
    **Tip to remember**  :  Here, order of element is important. That means you have 
    to go straight like the shape of the bracket i.e. straight lines. 
   (Note :It is just my logic to remember the shape of both.) 
5.  Order of elements is important. Example:  ["Ford","BMW","Fiat"] is not 
    equal to ["Fiat","BMW","Ford"]
6.  JSON can store nested Arrays that are passed as a value.

JSON Object

1.  JSON objects are written in key/value pairs.
2.  Keys must be strings, and values must be a valid JSON data type (string, number, 
    object, array, boolean or null).Keys and values are separated by a colon.
    Each key/value pair is separated by a comma.
3.  Syntax:
         { "name":"Somya", "age":25, "car":null }
4.  JSON objects are surrounded by curly braces {} 
    Tip to remember : Here, order of element is not important. That means you can go 
    the way you like. Therefore the shape of the braces i.e. wavy. 
    (Note : It is just my logic to remember the shape of both.)
5.  Order of elements is not important. 
    Example:  { rollno: 1, firstname: 'Somya'} 
                   is equal to 
             { firstname: 'Somya', rollno: 1}
6.  JSON can store nested objects in JSON format in addition to nested arrays.

Generating Request/Response XML from a WSDL

Parasoft is a tool which can do this. I've done this very thing using this tool in my past work place. You can generate a request in Parasoft SOATest and get a response in Parasoft Virtualize. It does cost though. However Parasoft Virtualize now has a free community edition from which you can generate response messages from a WSDL. You can download from parasoft community edition

How do I get logs/details of ansible-playbook module executions?

The playbook script task will generate stdout just like the non-playbook command, it just needs to be saved to a variable using register. Once we've got that, the debug module can print to the playbook output stream.

tasks:
- name: Hello yourself
  script: test.sh
  register: hello

- name: Debug hello
  debug: var=hello

- name: Debug hello.stdout as part of a string
  debug: "msg=The script's stdout was `{{ hello.stdout }}`."

Output should look something like this:

TASK: [Hello yourself] ******************************************************** 
changed: [MyTestHost]

TASK: [Debug hello] *********************************************************** 
ok: [MyTestHost] => {
    "hello": {
        "changed": true, 
        "invocation": {
            "module_args": "test.sh", 
            "module_name": "script"
        }, 
        "rc": 0, 
        "stderr": "", 
        "stdout": "Hello World\r\n", 
        "stdout_lines": [
            "Hello World"
        ]
    }
}

TASK: [Debug hello.stdout as part of a string] ******************************** 
ok: [MyTestHost] => {
    "msg": "The script's stdout was `Hello World\r\n`."
}

How to determine if one array contains all elements of another array

You can monkey-patch the Array class:

class Array
    def contains_all?(ary)
        ary.uniq.all? { |x| count(x) >= ary.count(x) }
    end
end

test

irb(main):131:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[a b c]
=> true
irb(main):132:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[a b c c]
=> true
irb(main):133:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[a b c c c]
=> false
irb(main):134:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[a]
=> true
irb(main):135:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[x]
=> false
irb(main):136:0> %w[a b c c].contains_all? %w[]
=> true
irb(main):137:0> %w[a b c d].contains_all? %w[d c h]
=> false
irb(main):138:0> %w[a b c d].contains_all? %w[d b c]
=> true

Of course the method can be written as a standard-alone method, eg

def contains_all?(a,b)
    b.uniq.all? { |x| a.count(x) >= b.count(x) }
end

and you can invoke it like

contains_all?(%w[a b c c], %w[c c c])

Indeed, after profiling, the following version is much faster, and the code is shorter.

def contains_all?(a,b)
    b.all? { |x| a.count(x) >= b.count(x) }
end

GridView must be placed inside a form tag with runat="server" even after the GridView is within a form tag

Just after your Page_Load add this:

public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
    //base.VerifyRenderingInServerForm(control);
}

Note that I don't do anything in the function.

EDIT: Tim answered the same thing. :) You can also find the answer Here

How to return dictionary keys as a list in Python?

You can also use a list comprehension:

>>> newdict = {1:0, 2:0, 3:0}
>>> [k  for  k in  newdict.keys()]
[1, 2, 3]

Or, shorter,

>>> [k  for  k in  newdict]
[1, 2, 3]

Note: Order is not guaranteed on versions under 3.7 (ordering is still only an implementation detail with CPython 3.6).

Check input value length

You can add a form onsubmit handler, something like:

<form onsubmit="return validate();">

</form>


<script>function validate() {
 // check if input is bigger than 3
 var value = document.getElementById('titleeee').value;
 if (value.length < 3) {
   return false; // keep form from submitting
 }

 // else form is good let it submit, of course you will 
 // probably want to alert the user WHAT went wrong.

 return true;
}</script>

Comparing user-inputted characters in C

I see two problems:

The pointer answer is a null pointer and you are trying to dereference it in scanf, this leads to undefined behavior.

You don't need a char pointer here. You can just use a char variable as:

char answer;
scanf(" %c",&answer);

Next to see if the read character is 'y' or 'Y' you should do:

if( answer == 'y' || answer == 'Y') {
  // user entered y or Y.
}

If you really need to use a char pointer you can do something like:

char var;
char *answer = &var; // make answer point to char variable var.
scanf (" %c", answer);
if( *answer == 'y' || *answer == 'Y') {

What's HTML character code 8203?

If you're seeing these in a source be aware that it may be someone attempting to fingerprint text documents to reveal who is leaking information. It also may be an attempt to bypass a spam filter by making the same looking information different on a byte-by-byte level.

Convert NSData to String?

Objective-C

You can use (see NSString Class Reference)

- (id)initWithData:(NSData *)data encoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding

Example:

NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Remark: Please notice the NSData value must be valid for the encoding specified (UTF-8 in the example above), otherwise nil will be returned:

Returns nil if the initialization fails for some reason (for example if data does not represent valid data for encoding).

Prior Swift 3.0

String(data: yourData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

Swift 3.0 Onwards

String(data: yourData, encoding: .utf8)

See String#init(data:encoding:) Reference

Signtool error: No certificates were found that met all given criteria with a Windows Store App?

I had this problem and I'm not entirely sure which step below made it work, but hope this helps somebody else...this is what I did:

Install the downloaded certificate (.crt) into certificates (I put it into “personal” store) - right click on .crt file and click Install Certificate.
Run certmgr.msc and export the certificate (found in whichever store you used in the 1st step) as a pfx file including private key, and extended properties (probably unnecessary)
Use the exported .pfx file when signing your project
Example signtool: signtool sign /f "c:\mycert.pfx" /p mypassword /d "description" /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll $(TargetPath)
where the password is the same as provided during Export

Sum of Numbers C++

The loop is great; it's what's inside the loop that's wrong. You need a variable named sum, and at each step, add i+1 to sum. At the end of the loop, sum will have the right value, so print it.

Show a PDF files in users browser via PHP/Perl

You could modify a PDF renderer such as xpdf or evince to render into a graphics image on your server, and then deliver the image to the user. This is how Google's quick view of PDF files works, they render it locally, then deliver images to the user. No downloaded PDF file, and the source is pretty well obscured. :)

How to edit Docker container files from the host?

There are two ways to mount files into your container. It looks like you want a bind mount.

Bind Mounts

This mounts local files directly into the container's filesystem. The containerside path and the hostside path both point to the same file. Edits made from either side will show up on both sides.

mount the file:

? echo foo > ./foo
? docker run --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/foo,target=/foo -it debian:latest
# cat /foo
foo # local file shows up in container

in a separate shell, edit the file:

? echo 'bar' > ./foo # make a hostside change

back in the container:

# cat /foo
bar # the hostside change shows up
# echo baz > /foo # make a containerside change
# exit
 
? cat foo
baz # the containerside change shows up

Volume Mounts

mount the volume

? docker run --mount type=volume,source=foovolume,target=/foo  -it debian:latest
root@containerB# echo 'this is in a volume' > /foo/data

the local filesystem is unchanged
docker sees a new volume:

? docker volume ls
DRIVER    VOLUME NAME
local     foovolume

create a new container with the same volume

? docker run --mount type=volume,source=foovolume,target=/foo  -it debian:latest
root@containerC:/# cat /foo/data
this is in a volume # data is still available

syntax: `-v` vs `--mount`

These do the same thing. -v is more concise, --mount is more explicit.

bind mounts

-v /hostside/path:/containerside/path
--mount type=bind,source=/hostside/path,target=/containerside/path

volume mounts

-v /containerside/path
-v volumename:/containerside/path
--mount type=volume,source=volumename,target=/containerside/path

(If a volume name is not specified, a random one is chosen.)

The documentaion tries to convince you to use one thing in favor of another instead of just telling you how it works, which is confusing.

Angular 2 two way binding using ngModel is not working

Key Points:

ngModel in angular2 is valid only if the FormsModule is available as a part of your AppModule.
ng-model is syntatically wrong.
square braces [..] refers to the property binding.
circle braces (..) refers to the event binding.
when square and circle braces are put together as [(..)] refers two way binding, commonly called banana box.

So, to fix your error.

Step 1: Importing FormsModule

import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms'

Step 2: Add it to imports array of your AppModule as

imports :[ ... , FormsModule ]

Step 3: Change ng-model as ngModel with banana boxes as

 <input id="name" type="text" [(ngModel)]="name" />

Note: Also, you can handle the two way databinding separately as well as below

<input id="name" type="text" [ngModel]="name" (ngModelChange)="valueChange($event)"/>

valueChange(value){

}

.NET: Simplest way to send POST with data and read response

   using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
   {

       byte[] response =
       client.UploadValues("http://dork.com/service", new NameValueCollection()
       {
           { "home", "Cosby" },
           { "favorite+flavor", "flies" }
       });

       string result = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);
   }

You will need these includes:

using System;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Net;

If you're insistent on using a static method/class:

public static class Http
{
    public static byte[] Post(string uri, NameValueCollection pairs)
    {
        byte[] response = null;
        using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
        {
            response = client.UploadValues(uri, pairs);
        }
        return response;
    }
}

Then simply:

var response = Http.Post("http://dork.com/service", new NameValueCollection() {
    { "home", "Cosby" },
    { "favorite+flavor", "flies" }
});

How to write :hover using inline style?

Not gonna happen with CSS only

Inline javascript

<a href='index.html' 
    onmouseover='this.style.textDecoration="none"' 
    onmouseout='this.style.textDecoration="underline"'>
    Click Me
</a>

In a working draft of the CSS2 spec it was declared that you could use pseudo-classes inline like this:

<a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS"
   style="{color: blue; background: white}  /* a+=0 b+=0 c+=0 */
      :visited {color: green}           /* a+=0 b+=1 c+=0 */
      :hover {background: yellow}       /* a+=0 b+=1 c+=0 */
      :visited:hover {color: purple}    /* a+=0 b+=2 c+=0 */
     ">
</a>

but it was never implemented in the release of the spec as far as I know.

Dump all documents of Elasticsearch

ElasticSearch itself provides a way to create data backup and restoration. The simple command to do it is:

CURL -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_snapshot/<backup_folder name>/<backupname>' -d '{
    "indices": "<index_name>",
    "ignore_unavailable": true,
    "include_global_state": false
}'

Now, how to create, this folder, how to include this folder path in ElasticSearch configuration, so that it will be available for ElasticSearch, restoration method, is well explained here. To see its practical demo surf here.

Django: List field in model?

You can flatten the list and then store the values to a CommaSeparatedIntegerField. When you read back from the database, just group the values back into threes.

Disclaimer: according to database normalization theory, it is better not to store collections in single fields; instead you would be encouraged to store the values in those triplets in their own fields and link them via foreign keys. In the real world, though, sometimes that is too cumbersome/slow.

Converting any object to a byte array in java

Yeah. Just use binary serialization. You have to have each object use implements Serializable but it's straightforward from there.

Your other option, if you want to avoid implementing the Serializable interface, is to use reflection and read and write data to/from a buffer using a process this one below:

/** 
 * Sets all int fields in an object to 0.
 *
 * @param obj The object to operate on.
 *
 * @throws RuntimeException If there is a reflection problem.
 */
 public static void initPublicIntFields(final Object obj) {
    try {
       Field[] fields = obj.getClass().getFields();
       for (int idx = 0; idx < fields.length; idx++) {
          if (fields[idx].getType() == int.class) {
              fields[idx].setInt(obj, 0);
          }
       }
    } catch (final IllegalAccessException ex) {
       throw new RuntimeException(ex);
    }
 }

How to copy a java.util.List into another java.util.List

I tried to do something like this, but I still got an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

I got a ConcurrentAccessException

This means you are modifying the list while you are trying to copy it, most likely in another thread. To fix this you have to either

use a collection which is designed for concurrent access.
lock the collection appropriately so you can iterate over it (or allow you to call a method which does this for you)
find a away to avoid needing to copy the original list.

Use RSA private key to generate public key?

Seems to be a common feature of the prevalent asymmetric cryptography; the generation of public/private keys involves generating the private key, which contains the key pair:

openssl genrsa -out mykey.pem 1024

Then publish the public key:

openssl rsa -in mykey.pem -pubout > mykey.pub

openssl rsa -in mykey.pem -pubout -out mykey.pub

DSA & EC crypto keys have same feature: eg.

openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out pvt.pem

Then

openssl pkey -in pvt.pem -pubout > public.pem

openssl ec -in ecprivkey.pem -pubout -out ecpubkey.pem

The public component is involved in decryption, and keeping it as part of the private key makes decryption faster; it can be removed from the private key and calculated when needed (for decryption), as an alternative or complement to encrypting or protecting the private key with a password/key/phrase. eg.

openssl pkey -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem

openssl ec -aes-128-cbc -in pk8file.pem -out tradfile.pem

You can replace the first argument "aes-128-cbc" with any other valid openssl cipher name

How to run only one unit test class using Gradle

In versions of Gradle prior to 5, the test.single system property can be used to specify a single test.

You can do gradle -Dtest.single=ClassUnderTestTest test if you want to test single class or use regexp like gradle -Dtest.single=ClassName*Test test you can find more examples of filtering classes for tests under this link.

Gradle 5 removed this option, as it was superseded by test filtering using the --tests command line option.

With ' N ' no of nodes, how many different Binary and Binary Search Trees possible?

Eric Lippert recently had a very in-depth series of blog posts about this: "Every Binary Tree There Is" and "Every Tree There Is" (plus some more after that).

In answer to your specific question, he says:

The number of binary trees with n nodes is given by the Catalan numbers, which have many interesting properties. The nth Catalan number is determined by the formula (2n)! / (n+1)!n!, which grows exponentially.

Conversion of a datetime2 data type to a datetime data type results out-of-range value

I saw this error when I wanted to edit a page usnig ASP.Net MVC. I had no problem while Creating but Updating Database made my DateCreated property out of range!

When you don't want your DateTime Property be Nullable and do not want to check if its value is in the sql DateTime range (and @Html.HiddenFor doesn't help!), simply add a static DateTime field inside related class (Controller) and give it the value when GET is operating then use it when POST is doing it's job:

public class PagesController : Controller
{
    static DateTime dateTimeField;
    UnitOfWork db = new UnitOfWork();

    // GET:
    public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
    {
        Page page = db.pageRepository.GetById(id);
        dateTimeField = page.DateCreated;
        return View(page);
    }

    // POST: 
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult Edit(Page page)
    {
        page.DateCreated = dateTimeField;
        db.pageRepository.Update(page);
        db.Save();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");

    }

"UnboundLocalError: local variable referenced before assignment" after an if statement

Your if statement is always false and T gets initialized only if a condition is met, so the code doesn't reach the point where T gets a value (and by that, gets defined/bound). You should introduce the variable in a place that always gets executed.

Try:

def temp_sky(lreq, breq):
    T = <some_default_value> # None is often a good pick
    for line in tfile:
        data = line.split()
        if abs(float(data[0])-lreq) <= 0.1 and abs(float(data[1])-breq) <= 0.1:            
            T = data[2]
    return T

LEFT INNER JOIN vs. LEFT OUTER JOIN - Why does the OUTER take longer?

This is because the LEFT OUTER Join is doing more work than an INNER Join BEFORE sending the results back.

The Inner Join looks for all records where the ON statement is true (So when it creates a new table, it only puts in records that match the m.SubID = a.SubID). Then it compares those results to your WHERE statement (Your last modified time).

The Left Outer Join...Takes all of the records in your first table. If the ON statement is not true (m.SubID does not equal a.SubID), it simply NULLS the values in the second table's column for that recordset.

The reason you get the same number of results at the end is probably coincidence due to the WHERE clause that happens AFTER all of the copying of records.

Java 8 Streams FlatMap method example

Am I the only one who finds unwinding lists boring? ;-)

Let's try with objects. Real world example by the way.

Given: Object representing repetitive task. About important task fields: reminders are starting to ring at start and repeat every repeatPeriod repeatUnit(e.g. 5 HOURS) and there will be repeatCount reminders in total(including starting one).

Goal: achieve a list of task copies, one for each task reminder invocation.

List<Task> tasks =
            Arrays.asList(
                    new Task(
                            false,//completed sign
                            "My important task",//task name (text)
                            LocalDateTime.now().plus(2, ChronoUnit.DAYS),//first reminder(start)
                            true,//is task repetitive?
                            1,//reminder interval
                            ChronoUnit.DAYS,//interval unit
                            5//total number of reminders
                    )
            );

tasks.stream().flatMap(
        x -> LongStream.iterate(
                x.getStart().toEpochSecond(ZoneOffset.UTC),
                p -> (p + x.getRepeatPeriod()*x.getRepeatUnit().getDuration().getSeconds())
        ).limit(x.getRepeatCount()).boxed()
        .map( y -> new Task(x,LocalDateTime.ofEpochSecond(y,0,ZoneOffset.UTC)))
).forEach(System.out::println);

Output:

Task{completed=false, text='My important task', start=2014-10-01T21:35:24, repeat=false, repeatCount=0, repeatPeriod=0, repeatUnit=null}
Task{completed=false, text='My important task', start=2014-10-02T21:35:24, repeat=false, repeatCount=0, repeatPeriod=0, repeatUnit=null}
Task{completed=false, text='My important task', start=2014-10-03T21:35:24, repeat=false, repeatCount=0, repeatPeriod=0, repeatUnit=null}
Task{completed=false, text='My important task', start=2014-10-04T21:35:24, repeat=false, repeatCount=0, repeatPeriod=0, repeatUnit=null}
Task{completed=false, text='My important task', start=2014-10-05T21:35:24, repeat=false, repeatCount=0, repeatPeriod=0, repeatUnit=null}

P.S.: I would appreciate if someone suggested a simpler solution, I'm not a pro after all.

UPDATE: @RBz asked for detailed explanation so here it is. Basically flatMap puts all elements from streams inside another stream into output stream. A lot of streams here :). So, for each Task in initial stream lambda expression x -> LongStream.iterate... creates a stream of long values that represent task start moments. This stream is limited to x.getRepeatCount() instances. It's values start from x.getStart().toEpochSecond(ZoneOffset.UTC) and each next value is calculated using lambda p -> (p + x.getRepeatPeriod()*x.getRepeatUnit().getDuration().getSeconds(). boxed() returns the stream with each long value as a Long wrapper instance. Then each Long in that stream is mapped to new Task instance that is not repetitive anymore and contains exact execution time. This sample contains only one Task in input list. But imagine that you have a thousand. You will have then a stream of 1000 streams of Task objects. And what flatMap does here is putting all Tasks from all streams onto the same output stream. That's all as I understand it. Thank you for your question!

Passing parameters on button action:@selector

Splitting string with pipe character ("|")

Or.. Pattern#quote:

String[] value_split = rat_values.split(Pattern.quote("|"));

This is happening because String#split accepts a regex:

| has a special meaning in regex.

quote will return a String representation for the regex.

How can I count the number of matches for a regex?

matcher.find() does not find all matches, only the next match.

Solution for Java 9+

long matches = matcher.results().count();

Solution for Java 8 and older

You'll have to do the following. (Starting from Java 9, there is a nicer solution)

int count = 0;
while (matcher.find())
    count++;

Btw, matcher.groupCount() is something completely different.

Complete example:

import java.util.regex.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String hello = "HelloxxxHelloxxxHello";
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("Hello");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(hello);

        int count = 0;
        while (matcher.find())
            count++;

        System.out.println(count);    // prints 3
    }
}

Handling overlapping matches

When counting matches of aa in aaaa the above snippet will give you 2.

aaaa
aa
  aa

To get 3 matches, i.e. this behavior:

aaaa
aa
 aa
  aa

You have to search for a match at index <start of last match> + 1 as follows:

String hello = "aaaa";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("aa");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(hello);

int count = 0;
int i = 0;
while (matcher.find(i)) {
    count++;
    i = matcher.start() + 1;
}

System.out.println(count);    // prints 3

how to re-format datetime string in php?

You could do it like this:

<?php
$datetime = "20130409163705"; 
$format = "YmdHis";

$date = date_parse_from_format ($format, $datetime);
print_r ($date);
?>

You can look at date_parse_from_format() and the accepted format values.

pyplot scatter plot marker size

I also attempted to use 'scatter' initially for this purpose. After quite a bit of wasted time - I settled on the following solution.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
input_list = [{'x':100,'y':200,'radius':50, 'color':(0.1,0.2,0.3)}]    
output_list = []   
for point in input_list:
    output_list.append(plt.Circle((point['x'], point['y']), point['radius'], color=point['color'], fill=False))
ax = plt.gca(aspect='equal')
ax.cla()
ax.set_xlim((0, 1000))
ax.set_ylim((0, 1000))
for circle in output_list:    
   ax.add_artist(circle)

This is based on an answer to this question

Set active tab style with AngularJS

I agree with Rob's post about having a custom attribute in the controller. Apparently I don't have enough rep to comment. Here's the jsfiddle that was requested:

        <li ng-repeat="link in links" ng-class="{active: $route.current.activeNav == link.type}"> <a href="{{link.uri}}">{{link.name}}</a>

        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

sample app.js

angular.module('MyApp', []).config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.when('/a', {
        activeNav: 'a'
    })
        .when('/a/:id', {
        activeNav: 'a'

        .when('/b', {
        activeNav: 'b'
    })
        .when('/c', {
        activeNav: 'c'

Objective-C: Extract filename from path string

Taken from the NSString reference, you can use :

NSString *theFileName = [[string lastPathComponent] stringByDeletingPathExtension];

The lastPathComponent call will return thefile.ext, and the stringByDeletingPathExtension will remove the extension suffix from the end.

Store text file content line by line into array

This should work because it uses List as you don't know how many lines will be there in the file and also they may change later.

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("path/of/text"));
String str=null;
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
while((str = in.readLine()) != null){
    lines.add(str);
}
String[] linesArray = lines.toArray(new String[lines.size()]);

When to use in vs ref vs out

Basically both ref and out for passing object/value between methods

The out keyword causes arguments to be passed by reference. This is like the ref keyword, except that ref requires that the variable be initialized before it is passed.

out : Argument is not initialized and it must be initialized in the method

ref : Argument is already initialized and it can be read and updated in the method.

What is the use of “ref” for reference-types ?

You can change the given reference to a different instance.

Did you know?

Although the ref and out keywords cause different run-time behavior, they are not considered part of the method signature at compile time. Therefore, methods cannot be overloaded if the only difference is that one method takes a ref argument and the other takes an out argument.
You can't use the ref and out keywords for the following kinds of methods:
- Async methods, which you define by using the async modifier.
- Iterator methods, which include a yield return or yield break statement.
Properties are not variables and therefore cannot be passed as out parameters.

Well, on Windows I happily run diff and many other of the GNU tools. You can do it with cygwin, but I personally prefer GnuWin32 because it is a much lighter installation experience.

So, my answer is that the Windows equivalent of diff, is none other than diff itself!

JQuery - Storing ajax response into global variable

You might find it easier storing the response values in a DOM element, as they are accessible globally:

<input type="hidden" id="your-hidden-control" value="replace-me" />

<script>
    $.getJSON( '/uri/', function( data ) {
        $('#your-hidden-control').val( data );
    } );
</script>

This has the advantage of not needing to set async to false. Clearly, whether this is appropriate depends on what you're trying to achieve.

How to add new column to an dataframe (to the front not end)?

The previous answers show 3 approaches

By creating a new data frame
By using "cbind"
By adding column "a", and sort data frame by columns using column names or indexes

Let me show #4 approach "By using "cbind" and "rename" that works for my case

1. Create data frame

df <- data.frame(b = c(1, 1, 1), c = c(2, 2, 2), d = c(3, 3, 3))

2. Get values for "new" column

new_column = c(0, 0, 0)

3. Combine "new" column with existed

df <- cbind(new_column, df)

4. Rename "new" column name

colnames(df)[1] <- "a"

Float a div above page content

Yes, the higher the z-index, the better. It will position your content element on top of every other element on the page. Say you have z-index to some elements on your page. Look for the highest and then give a higher z-index to your popup element. This way it will flow even over the other elements with z-index. If you don't have a z-index in any element on your page, you should give like z-index:2; or something higher.

android listview item height

Here is my solutions; It is my getView() in BaseAdapter subclass:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
    if(convertView==null)
    {
        convertView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view, parent,false);
        System.out.println("In");
    }
    convertView.setMinimumHeight(100);
    return convertView;
}

Here i have set ListItem's minimum height to 100;

Anaconda export Environment file

I find exporting the packages in string format only is more portable than exporting the whole conda environment. As the previous answer already suggested:

$ conda list -e > requirements.txt

However, this requirements.txt contains build numbers which are not portable between operating systems, e.g. between Mac and Ubuntu. In conda env export we have the option --no-builds but not with conda list -e, so we can remove the build number by issuing the following command:

$ sed -i -E "s/^(.*\=.*)(\=.*)/\1/" requirements.txt

And recreate the environment on another computer:

conda create -n recreated_env --file requirements.txt

How do I force git to use LF instead of CR+LF under windows?

You can find the solution to this problem at: https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings

Simplified description of how you can solve this problem on windows:

Global settings for line endings The git config core.autocrlf command is used to change how Git handles line endings. It takes a single argument.

On Windows, you simply pass true to the configuration. For example: C:>git config --global core.autocrlf true

Good luck, I hope I helped.

PHP Fatal Error Failed opening required File

I was having the exact same issue, I triple checked the include paths, I also checked that pear was installed and everything looked OK and I was still getting the errors, after a few hours of going crazy looking at this I realized that in my script had this:

include_once "../Mail.php";

instead of:

include_once ("../Mail.php");

Yup, the stupid parenthesis was missing, but there was no generated error on this line of my script which was odd to me

How to delete a cookie using jQuery?

To delete a cookie with JQuery, set the value to null:

$.cookie("name", null, { path: '/' });

Edit: The final solution was to explicitly specify the path property whenever accessing the cookie, because the OP accesses the cookie from multiple pages in different directories, and thus the default paths were different (this was not described in the original question). The solution was discovered in discussion below, which explains why this answer was accepted - despite not being correct.

For some versions jQ cookie the solution above will set the cookie to string null. Thus not removing the cookie. Use the code as suggested below instead.

$.removeCookie('the_cookie', { path: '/' });

Git: Create a branch from unstaged/uncommitted changes on master

If you want your current uncommited changes on the current branch to move to a new branch, use the following command to create a new branch and copy the uncommitted changes automatically.

git checkout -b branch_name

This will create a new branch from your current branch (assuming it to be master), copy the uncommited changes and switch to the new branch.

Add files to stage & commit your changes to the new branch.

git add .
git commit -m "First commit"

Since, a new branch is created, before pushing it to remote, you need to set the upstream. Use the below command to set the upstream and push it to remote.

git push --set-upstream origin feature/feature/NEWBRANCH

Once you hit this command, a new branch will be created at the remote and your new local branch will be pushed to remote.

Now, if you want to throw away your uncommited changes from master branch, use:

git checkout master -f

This will throw away any uncommitted local changes on checkout.

mysql update multiple columns with same now()

You can store the value of a now() in a variable before running the update query and then use that variable to update both the fields last_update and last_monitor.

This will ensure the now() is executed only once and same value is updated on both columns you need.

How to use variables in a command in sed?

Say:

sed "s|\$ROOT|${HOME}|" abc.sh

Note:

Use double quotes so that the shell would expand variables.
Use a separator different than / since the replacement contains /
Escape the $ in the pattern since you don't want to expand it.

EDIT: In order to replace all occurrences of $ROOT, say

sed "s|\$ROOT|${HOME}|g" abc.sh

Building and running app via Gradle and Android Studio is slower than via Eclipse

Following the steps will make it 10 times faster and reduce build time 90%

First create a file named gradle.properties in the following directory:

/home/<username>/.gradle/ (Linux)
/Users/<username>/.gradle/ (Mac)
C:\Users\<username>\.gradle (Windows)

Add this line to the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.parallel=true

And check this options in Android Studio

How to get first object out from List<Object> using Linq

Try this to get all the list at first, then your desired element (say the First in your case):

var desiredElementCompoundValueList = new List<YourType>();
dic.Values.ToList().ForEach( elem => 
{
   desiredElementCompoundValue.Add(elem.ComponentValue("Dep"));
});
var x = desiredElementCompoundValueList.FirstOrDefault();

To get directly the first element value without a lot of foreach iteration and variable assignment:

var desiredCompoundValue = dic.Values.ToList().Select( elem => elem.CompoundValue("Dep")).FirstOrDefault();

See the difference between the two approaches: in the first one you get the list through a ForEach, then your element. In the second you can get your value in a straight way.

Same result, different computation ;)

Convert factor to integer

Quoting directly from the help page for factor:

To transform a factor f to its original numeric values, as.numeric(levels(f))[f] is recommended and slightly more efficient than as.numeric(as.character(f)).

How to check if a file exists from inside a batch file

Try something like the following example, quoted from the output of IF /? on Windows XP:

IF EXIST filename. (
    del filename.
) ELSE (
    echo filename. missing.
)

You can also check for a missing file with IF NOT EXIST.

The IF command is quite powerful. The output of IF /? will reward careful reading. For that matter, try the /? option on many of the other built-in commands for lots of hidden gems.

Where is Java's Array indexOf?

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this using the Arrays utility class.

If the array is not sorted and is not an array of primitives:

java.util.Arrays.asList(theArray).indexOf(o)

If the array is primitives and not sorted, one should use a solution offered by one of the other answers such as Kerem Baydogan's, Andrew McKinlay's or Mishax's. The above code will compile even if theArray is primitive (possibly emitting a warning) but you'll get totally incorrect results nonetheless.

If the array is sorted, you can make use of a binary search for performance:

java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(theArray, o)

'router-outlet' is not a known element

Its just better to create a routing component that would handle all your routes! From the angular website documentation! That's good practice!

ng generate module app-routing --flat --module=app

The above CLI generates a routing module and adds to your app module, all you need to do from the generated component is to declare your routes, also don't forget to add this:

exports: [
    RouterModule
  ],

to your ng-module decorator as it doesn't come with the generated app-routing module by default!

Add Keypair to existing EC2 instance

You can't apply a keypair to a running instance. You can only use the new keypair to launch a new instance.

For recovery, if it's an EBS boot AMI, you can stop it, make a snapshot of the volume. Create a new volume based on it. And be able to use it back to start the old instance, create a new image, or recover data.

Though data at ephemeral storage will be lost.

Due to the popularity of this question and answer, I wanted to capture the information in the link that Rodney posted on his comment.

Credit goes to Eric Hammond for this information.

Fixing Files on the Root EBS Volume of an EC2 Instance

You can examine and edit files on the root EBS volume on an EC2 instance even if you are in what you considered a disastrous situation like:

You lost your ssh key or forgot your password
You made a mistake editing the /etc/sudoers file and can no longer gain root access with sudo to fix it
Your long running instance is hung for some reason, cannot be contacted, and fails to boot properly
You need to recover files off of the instance but cannot get to it

On a physical computer sitting at your desk, you could simply boot the system with a CD or USB stick, mount the hard drive, check out and fix the files, then reboot the computer to be back in business.

A remote EC2 instance, however, seems distant and inaccessible when you are in one of these situations. Fortunately, AWS provides us with the power and flexibility to be able to recover a system like this, provided that we are running EBS boot instances and not instance-store.

The approach on EC2 is somewhat similar to the physical solution, but we’re going to move and mount the faulty “hard drive” (root EBS volume) to a different instance, fix it, then move it back.

In some situations, it might simply be easier to start a new EC2 instance and throw away the bad one, but if you really want to fix your files, here is the approach that has worked for many:

Setup

Identify the original instance (A) and volume that contains the broken root EBS volume with the files you want to view and edit.

instance_a=i-XXXXXXXX

volume=$(ec2-describe-instances $instance_a |
  egrep '^BLOCKDEVICE./dev/sda1' | cut -f3)

Identify the second EC2 instance (B) that you will use to fix the files on the original EBS volume. This instance must be running in the same availability zone as instance A so that it can have the EBS volume attached to it. If you don’t have an instance already running, start a temporary one.

instance_b=i-YYYYYYYY

Stop the broken instance A (waiting for it to come to a complete stop), detach the root EBS volume from the instance (waiting for it to be detached), then attach the volume to instance B on an unused device.

ec2-stop-instances $instance_a
ec2-detach-volume $volume
ec2-attach-volume --instance $instance_b --device /dev/sdj $volume

ssh to instance B and mount the volume so that you can access its file system.

ssh ...instance b...

sudo mkdir -p 000 /vol-a
sudo mount /dev/sdj /vol-a

Fix It

At this point your entire root file system from instance A is available for viewing and editing under /vol-a on instance B. For example, you may want to:

Put the correct ssh keys in /vol-a/home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
Edit and fix /vol-a/etc/sudoers
Look for error messages in /vol-a/var/log/syslog
Copy important files out of /vol-a/…

Note: The uids on the two instances may not be identical, so take care if you are creating, editing, or copying files that belong to non-root users. For example, your mysql user on instance A may have the same UID as your postfix user on instance B which could cause problems if you chown files with one name and then move the volume back to A.

Wrap Up

After you are done and you are happy with the files under /vol-a, unmount the file system (still on instance-B):

sudo umount /vol-a
sudo rmdir /vol-a

Now, back on your system with ec2-api-tools, continue moving the EBS volume back to it’s home on the original instance A and start the instance again:

ec2-detach-volume $volume
ec2-attach-volume --instance $instance_a --device /dev/sda1 $volume
ec2-start-instances $instance_a

Hopefully, you fixed the problem, instance A comes up just fine, and you can accomplish what you originally set out to do. If not, you may need to continue repeating these steps until you have it working.

Note: If you had an Elastic IP address assigned to instance A when you stopped it, you’ll need to reassociate it after starting it up again.

Remember! If your instance B was temporarily started just for this process, don’t forget to terminate it now.

How does paintComponent work?

Calling object.paintComponent(g) is an error.

Instead this method is called automatically when the panel is created. The paintComponent() method can also be called explicitly by the repaint() method defined in Component class.

The effect of calling repaint() is that Swing automatically clears the graphic on the panel and executes the paintComponent method to redraw the graphics on this panel.

Fork() function in C

First a link to some documentation of fork()

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fork.html

The pid is provided by the kernel. Every time the kernel create a new process it will increase the internal pid counter and assign the new process this new unique pid and also make sure there are no duplicates. Once the pid reaches some high number it will wrap and start over again.

So you never know what pid you will get from fork(), only that the parent will keep it's unique pid and that fork will make sure that the child process will have a new unique pid. This is stated in the documentation provided above.

If you continue reading the documentation you will see that fork() return 0 for the child process and the new unique pid of the child will be returned to the parent. If the child want to know it's own new pid you will have to query for it using getpid().

pid_t pid = fork()
if(pid == 0) {
    printf("this is a child: my new unique pid is %d\n", getpid());
} else {
    printf("this is the parent: my pid is %d and I have a child with pid %d \n", getpid(), pid);
}

and below is some inline comments on your code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    pid_t pid1, pid2, pid3;
    pid1=0, pid2=0, pid3=0;
    pid1= fork(); /* A */
    if(pid1 == 0){
        /* This is child A */
        pid2=fork(); /* B */
        pid3=fork(); /* C */
    } else {
        /* This is parent A */
        /* Child B and C will never reach this code */
        pid3=fork(); /* D */
        if(pid3==0) {
            /* This is child D fork'ed from parent A */
            pid2=fork(); /* E */
        }
        if((pid1 == 0)&&(pid2 == 0)) {
            /* pid1 will never be 0 here so this is dead code */
            printf("Level 1\n");
        }
        if(pid1 !=0) {
            /* This is always true for both parent and child E */
            printf("Level 2\n");
        }
        if(pid2 !=0) {
           /* This is parent E (same as parent A) */
           printf("Level 3\n");
        }
        if(pid3 !=0) {
           /* This is parent D (same as parent A) */
           printf("Level 4\n");
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

When is del useful in Python?

The "del" command is very useful for controlling data in an array, for example:

elements = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
# Remove first element.
del elements[:1]
print(elements)

Output:

['B', 'C', 'D']

Bootstrap 3: How do you align column content to bottom of row

   display: inline-block;
   vertical-align: middle;

Send XML data to webservice using php curl

After Struggling a bit with Arzoo International flight API, I've finally found the solution and the code simply works absolutely great with me. Here are the complete working code:

//Store your XML Request in a variable
    $input_xml = '<AvailRequest>
            <Trip>ONE</Trip>
            <Origin>BOM</Origin>
            <Destination>JFK</Destination>
            <DepartDate>2013-09-15</DepartDate>
            <ReturnDate>2013-09-16</ReturnDate>
            <AdultPax>1</AdultPax>
            <ChildPax>0</ChildPax>
            <InfantPax>0</InfantPax>
            <Currency>INR</Currency>
            <PreferredClass>E</PreferredClass>
            <Eticket>true</Eticket>
            <Clientid>777ClientID</Clientid>
            <Clientpassword>*Your API Password</Clientpassword>
            <Clienttype>ArzooINTLWS1.0</Clienttype>
            <PreferredAirline></PreferredAirline>
    </AvailRequest>';

Now I've made a little changes in the above curl_setopt declaration as follows:

    $url = "http://59.162.33.102:9301/Avalability";

        //setting the curl parameters.
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Following line is compulsary to add as it is:
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
                    "xmlRequest=" . $input_xml);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 300);
        $data = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

        //convert the XML result into array
        $array_data = json_decode(json_encode(simplexml_load_string($data)), true);

        print_r('<pre>');
        print_r($array_data);
        print_r('</pre>');

That's it the code works absolutely fine for me. I really appreciate @hakre & @Lucas For their wonderful support.

How to find out which processes are using swap space in Linux?

Another script variant avoiding the loop in shell:

#!/bin/bash
grep VmSwap /proc/[0-9]*/status | awk -F':' -v sort="$1" '
  {
    split($1,pid,"/") # Split first field on /
    split($3,swp," ") # Split third field on space
    cmdlinefile = "/proc/"pid[3]"/cmdline" # Build the cmdline filepath
    getline pname[pid[3]] < cmdlinefile # Get the command line from pid
    swap[pid[3]] = sprintf("%6i %s",swp[1],swp[2]) # Store the swap used (with unit to avoid rebuilding at print)
    sum+=swp[1] # Sum the swap
  }
  END {
    OFS="\t" # Change the output separator to tabulation
    print "Pid","Swap used","Command line" # Print header
    if(sort) {
      getline max_pid < "/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max"
      for(p=1;p<=max_pid;p++) {
        if(p in pname) print p,swap[p],pname[p] # print the values
      }
    } else {
      for(p in pname) { # Loop over all pids found
        print p,swap[p],pname[p] # print the values
      }
    }
    print "Total swap used:",sum # print the sum
  }'

Standard usage is script.sh to get the usage per program with random order (down to how awk stores its hashes) or script.sh 1 to sort the output by pid.

I hope I've commented the code enough to tell what it does.

How to effectively work with multiple files in Vim

I use the following, this gives you lots of features that you'd expect to have in other editors such as Sublime Text / Textmate

Use buffers not 'tab pages'. Buffers are the same concept as tabs in almost all other editors.
If you want the same look of having tabs you can use the vim-airline plugin with the following setting in your .vimrc: let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1. This automatically displays all the buffers as tab headers when you have no tab pages opened
Use Tim Pope's vim-unimpaired which gives [b and ]b for moving to previous/next buffers respectively (plus a whole host of other goodies)
Have set wildmenu in your .vimrc then when you type :b <file part> + Tab for a buffer you will get a list of possible buffers that you can use left/right arrows to scroll through
Use Tim Pope's vim-obsession plugin to store sessions that play nicely with airline (I had lots of pain with sessions and plugins)
Use Tim Pope's vim-vinegar plugin. This works with the native :Explore but makes it much easier to work with. You just type - to open the explorer, which is the same key as to go up a directory in the explorer. Makes navigating faster (however with fzf I rarely use this)
fzf (which can be installed as a vim plugin) is also a really powerful fuzzy finder that you can use for searching for files (and buffers too). fzf also plays very nicely with fd (a faster version of find)
Use Ripgrep with vim-ripgrep to search through your code base and then you can use :cdo on the results to do search and replace

How to change the scrollbar color using css

You can use the following attributes for webkit, which reach into the shadow DOM:

::-webkit-scrollbar              { /* 1 */ }
::-webkit-scrollbar-button       { /* 2 */ }
::-webkit-scrollbar-track        { /* 3 */ }
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece  { /* 4 */ }
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb        { /* 5 */ }
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner       { /* 6 */ }
::-webkit-resizer                { /* 7 */ }

Here's a working fiddle with a red scrollbar, based on code from this page explaining the issues.

Using this and your solution, you can handle all browsers except Firefox, which at this point I think still requires a javascript solution.
