Programs & Examples On #Filemaker

FileMaker is a cross-platform (OS X and Windows) database development environment.

What is the worst programming language you ever worked with?

My vote is DB/C DX which is based on the DATABUS. I am sure most of you guys have never heard of it, and those that have.... I am sorry.....

Grep to find item in Perl array

You can also check single value in multiple arrays like,

if (grep /$match/, @array, @array_one, @array_two, @array_Three)
{
    print "found it\n";
}

Python sum() function with list parameter

numbers = [1, 2, 3]
numsum = sum(list(numbers))
print(numsum)

This would work, if your are trying to Sum up a list.

Java Read Large Text File With 70million line of text

In Java 8, for anyone looking now to read file large files line by line,

Stream<String> lines = Files.lines(Paths.get("c:\myfile.txt"));
lines.forEach(l -> {
  // Do anything line by line   
});

Createuser: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: role "tom" does not exist

sudo -u postgres createuser -s tom 

this should help you as this will happen if the administrator has not created a PostgreSQL user account for you. It could also be that you were assigned a PostgreSQL user name that is different from your operating system user name, in that case you need to use the -U switch.

How can I quickly and easily convert spreadsheet data to JSON?

Assuming you really mean easiest and are not necessarily looking for a way to do this programmatically, you can do this:

  1. Add, if not already there, a row of "column Musicians" to the spreadsheet. That is, if you have data in columns such as:

    Rory Gallagher      Guitar
    Gerry McAvoy        Bass
    Rod de'Ath          Drums
    Lou Martin          Keyboards
    Donkey Kong Sioux   Self-Appointed Semi-official Stomper
    

    Note: you might want to add "Musician" and "Instrument" in row 0 (you might have to insert a row there)

  2. Save the file as a CSV file.

  3. Copy the contents of the CSV file to the clipboard

  4. Go to http://www.convertcsv.com/csv-to-json.htm

  5. Verify that the "First row is column names" checkbox is checked

  6. Paste the CSV data into the content area

  7. Mash the "Convert CSV to JSON" button

    With the data shown above, you will now have:

    [
      {
        "MUSICIAN":"Rory Gallagher",
        "INSTRUMENT":"Guitar"
      },
      {
        "MUSICIAN":"Gerry McAvoy",
        "INSTRUMENT":"Bass"
      },
      {
        "MUSICIAN":"Rod D'Ath",
        "INSTRUMENT":"Drums"
      },
      {
        "MUSICIAN":"Lou Martin",
        "INSTRUMENT":"Keyboards"
      }
      {
        "MUSICIAN":"Donkey Kong Sioux",
        "INSTRUMENT":"Self-Appointed Semi-Official Stomper"
      }
    ]
    

    With this simple/minimalistic data, it's probably not required, but with large sets of data, it can save you time and headache in the proverbial long run by checking this data for aberrations and abnormalcy.

  8. Go here: http://jsonlint.com/

  9. Paste the JSON into the content area

  10. Pres the "Validate" button.

If the JSON is good, you will see a "Valid JSON" remark in the Results section below; if not, it will tell you where the problem[s] lie so that you can fix it/them.

How to remove an item from an array in AngularJS scope?

For the the accepted answer of @Joseph Silber is not working, because indexOf returns -1. This is probably because Angular adds an hashkey, which is different for my $scope.items[0] and my item. I tried to resolve this with the angular.toJson() function, but it did not work :(

Ah, I found out the reason... I use a chunk method to create two columns in my table by watching my $scope.items. Sorry!

Temporary tables in stored procedures

For all those recommending using table variables, be cautious in doing so. Table variable cannot be indexed whereas a temp table can be. A table variable is best when working with small amounts of data but if you are working on larger sets of data (e.g. 50k records) a temp table will be much faster than a table variable.

Also keep in mind that you can't rely on a try/catch to force a cleanup within the stored procedure. certain types of failures cannot be caught within a try/catch (e.g. compile failures due to delayed name resolution) if you want to be really certain you may need to create a wrapper stored procedure that can do a try/catch of the worker stored procedure and do the cleanup there.

e.g. create proc worker AS BEGIN -- do something here END

create proc wrapper AS
BEGIN
    Create table #...
    BEGIN TRY
       exec worker
       exec worker2 -- using same temp table
       -- etc
    END TRY
    END CATCH
       -- handle transaction cleanup here
       drop table #...
    END CATCH 
END

One place where table variables are always useful is they do not get rolled back when a transaction is rolled back. This can be useful for capturing debug data that you want to commit outside the primary transaction.

comma separated string of selected values in mysql

The default separator between values in a group is comma(,). To specify any other separator, use SEPARATOR as shown below.

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id SEPARATOR '|')
FROM `table_level`
WHERE `parent_id`=4
GROUP BY `parent_id`;

5|6|9|10|12|14|15|17|18|779

To eliminate the separator, then use SEPARATOR ''

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id SEPARATOR '')
FROM `table_level`
WHERE `parent_id`=4
GROUP BY `parent_id`;

Refer for more info GROUP_CONCAT

AttributeError: can't set attribute in python

For those searching this error, another thing that can trigger AtributeError: can't set attribute is if you try to set a decorated @property that has no setter method. Not the problem in the OP's question, but I'm putting it here to help any searching for the error message directly. (if you don't like it, go edit the question's title :)

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self._attr = "original value"
        # This will trigger an error...
        self.attr = "new value"
    @property
    def attr(self):
        return self._attr

How can I strip all punctuation from a string in JavaScript using regex?

In a Unicode-aware language, the Unicode Punctuation character property is \p{P} — which you can usually abbreviate \pP and sometimes expand to \p{Punctuation} for readability.

Adding a line break in MySQL INSERT INTO text

In SQL or MySQL you can use the char or chr functions to enter in an ASCII 13 for carriage return line feed, the \n equivilent. But as @David M has stated, you are most likely looking to have the HTML show this break and a br is what will work.

Show/hide widgets in Flutter programmatically

UPDATE: Since this answer was written, Visibility was introduced and provides the best solution to this problem.


You can use Opacity with an opacity: of 0.0 to draw make an element hidden but still occupy space.

To make it not occupy space, replace it with an empty Container().

EDIT: To wrap it in an Opacity object, do the following:

            new Opacity(opacity: 0.0, child: new Padding(
              padding: const EdgeInsets.only(
                left: 16.0,
              ),
              child: new Icon(pencil, color: CupertinoColors.activeBlue),
            ))

Java variable number or arguments for a method

Variable number of arguments

It is possible to pass a variable number of arguments to a method. However, there are some restrictions:

  • The variable number of parameters must all be the same type
  • They are treated as an array within the method
  • They must be the last parameter of the method

To understand these restrictions, consider the method, in the following code snippet, used to return the largest integer in a list of integers:

private static int largest(int... numbers) {
     int currentLargest = numbers[0];
     for (int number : numbers) {
        if (number > currentLargest) {
            currentLargest = number;
        }
     }
     return currentLargest;
}

How to switch to new window in Selenium for Python?

for eg. you may take

driver.get('https://www.naukri.com/')

since, it is a current window ,we can name it

main_page = driver.current_window_handle

if there are atleast 1 window popup except the current window,you may try this method and put if condition in break statement by hit n trial for the index

for handle in driver.window_handles:
    if handle != main_page:
        print(handle)
        login_page = handle
        break

driver.switch_to.window(login_page)

Now ,whatever the credentials you have to apply,provide after it is loggen in. Window will disappear, but you have to come to main page window and you are done

driver.switch_to.window(main_page)
sleep(10)

Send a ping to each IP on a subnet

I came late but here is a little script I made for this purpose that I run in Windows PowerShell. You should be able to copy and paste it into the ISE. This will then run the arp command and save the results into a .txt file and open it in notepad.

# Declare Variables
$MyIpAddress
$MyIpAddressLast

# Declare Variable And Get User Inputs
$IpFirstThree=Read-Host 'What is the first three octects of you IP addresses please include the last period?'
$IpStart=Read-Host 'Which IP Address do you want to start with? Include NO periods.'
$IpEnd=Read-Host 'Which IP Address do you want to end with? Include NO periods.'
$SaveMyFilePath=Read-Host 'Enter the file path and name you want for the text file results.'
$PingTries=Read-Host 'Enter the number of times you want to try pinging each address.'

#Run from start ip and ping
#Run the arp -a and output the results to a text file
#Then launch notepad and open the results file
Foreach($MyIpAddressLast in $IpStart..$IpEnd)
{$MyIpAddress=$IpFirstThree+$MyIpAddressLast
    Test-Connection -computername $MyIpAddress -Count $PingTries}
arp -a | Out-File $SaveMyFilePath
notepad.exe $SaveMyFilePath

Label on the left side instead above an input field

You can see from the existing answers that Bootstrap's terminology is confusing. If you look at the bootstrap documentation, you see that the class form-horizontal is actually for a form with fields below each other, i.e. what most people would think of as a vertical form. The correct class for a form going across the page is form-inline. They probably introduced the term inline because they had already misused the term horizontal.

You see from some of the answers here that some people are using both of these classes in one form! Others think that they need form-horizontal when they actually want form-inline.

I suggest to do it exactly as described in the Bootstrap documentation:

<form class="form-inline">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="nameId">Name</label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="nameId" placeholder="Jane Doe">
  </div>
</form>

Which produces:

Print in one line dynamically

change

print item

to

print "\033[K", item, "\r",
sys.stdout.flush()
  • "\033[K" clears to the end of the line
  • the \r, returns to the beginning of the line
  • the flush statement makes sure it shows up immediately so you get real-time output.

Custom height Bootstrap's navbar

your markup was a bit messed up. Here's the styles you need and proper html

CSS:

    height: 150px;
    padding-top: 0;
}

HTML:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>

        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img src="img/logo.png" /></a>
    </div>

    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
            <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Blog</a></li>

        </ul>
    </div>
</nav>

ReactJS and images in public folder

1- It's good if you use webpack for configurations but you can simply use image path and react will find out that that it's in public directory.

<img src="/image.jpg">

2- If you want to use webpack which is a standard practice in React. You can use these rules in your webpack.config.dev.js file.

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.(jpe?g|gif|png|svg)$/i,
      use: [
        {
          loader: 'url-loader',
          options: {
            limit: 10000
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
},

then you can import image file in react components and use it.

import image from '../../public/images/logofooter.png'

<img src={image}/>

Database Structure for Tree Data Structure

If you have to use Relational DataBase to organize tree data structure then Postgresql has cool ltree module that provides data type for representing labels of data stored in a hierarchical tree-like structure. You can get the idea from there.(For more information see: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/ltree.html)

In common LDAP is used to organize records in hierarchical structure.

Mobile Safari: Javascript focus() method on inputfield only works with click?

I have a search form with an icon that clears the text when clicked. However, the problem (on mobile & tablets) was that the keyboard would collapse/hide, as the click event removed focus was removed from the input.

text search input with close icon

Goal: after clearing the search form (clicking/tapping on x-icon) keep the keyboard visible!

To accomplish this, apply stopPropagation() on the event like so:

function clear ($event) {
    $event.preventDefault();
    $event.stopPropagation();
    self.query = '';
    $timeout(function () {
        document.getElementById('sidebar-search').focus();
    }, 1);
}

And the HTML form:

<form ng-controller="SearchController as search"
    ng-submit="search.submit($event)">
        <input type="search" id="sidebar-search" 
            ng-model="search.query">
                <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"
                    ng-click="search.clear($event)">
                </span>
</form>

PHP Warning Permission denied (13) on session_start()

You don't appear to have write permission to the /tmp directory on your server. This is a bit weird, but you can work around it. Before the call to session_start() put in a call to session_save_path() and give it the name of a directory writable by the server. Details are here.

Javascript swap array elements

Consider such a solution without a need to define the third variable:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function swap(arr, from, to) {_x000D_
  arr.splice(from, 1, arr.splice(to, 1, arr[from])[0]);_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
var letters = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"];_x000D_
_x000D_
swap(letters, 1, 4);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(letters); // ["a", "e", "c", "d", "b", "f"]
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note: You may want to add additional checks for example for array length. This solution is mutable so swap function does not need to return a new array, it just does mutation over array passed into.

Check if a file exists in jenkins pipeline

You need to use brackets when using the fileExists step in an if condition or assign the returned value to a variable

Using variable:

def exists = fileExists 'file'

if (exists) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}

Using brackets:

if (fileExists('file')) {
    echo 'Yes'
} else {
    echo 'No'
}

What is the equivalent to getLastInsertId() in Cakephp?

Try using this code in your model class (perhaps in AppModel):

function get_sql_insert_id() {
   $db =& ConnectionManager::getDataSource($this->useDbConfig);
   return $db->lastInsertId();
}

Caveat emptor: MySql's LAST_INSERT_ID() function only works on tables with an AUTO_INCREMENT field (otherwise it only returns 0). If your primary key does not have the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute, that might be the cause of your problems.

python requests get cookies

Alternatively, you can use requests.Session and observe cookies before and after a request:

>>> import requests
>>> session = requests.Session()
>>> print(session.cookies.get_dict())
{}
>>> response = session.get('http://google.com')
>>> print(session.cookies.get_dict())
{'PREF': 'ID=5514c728c9215a9a:FF=0:TM=1406958091:LM=1406958091:S=KfAG0U9jYhrB0XNf', 'NID': '67=TVMYiq2wLMNvJi5SiaONeIQVNqxSc2RAwVrCnuYgTQYAHIZAGESHHPL0xsyM9EMpluLDQgaj3db_V37NjvshV-eoQdA8u43M8UwHMqZdL-S2gjho8j0-Fe1XuH5wYr9v'}

CodeIgniter Active Record not equal

According to the manual this should work:

Custom key/value method:

You can include an operator in the first parameter in order to control the comparison:

$this->db->where('name !=', $name);
$this->db->where('id <', $id);
Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' AND id < 45

Search for $this->db->where(); and look at item #2.

SimpleXml to string

Actually asXML() converts the string into xml as it name says:

<id>5</id>

This will display normally on a web page but it will cause problems when you matching values with something else.

You may use strip_tags function to get real value of the field like:

$newString = strip_tags($xml->asXML());

PS: if you are working with integers or floating numbers, you need to convert it into integer with intval() or floatval().

$newNumber = intval(strip_tags($xml->asXML()));

Java - How to convert type collection into ArrayList?

As other people have mentioned, ArrayList has a constructor that takes a collection of items, and adds all of them. Here's the documentation:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html#ArrayList%28java.util.Collection%29

So you need to do:

ArrayList<MyNode> myNodeList = new ArrayList<MyNode>(this.getVertices());

However, in another comment you said that was giving you a compiler error. It looks like your class MyGraph is a generic class. And so getVertices() actually returns type V, not type myNode.

I think your code should look like this:

public V getNode(int nodeId){
        ArrayList<V> myNodeList = new ArrayList<V>(this.getVertices());
        return myNodeList(nodeId);
}

But, that said it's a very inefficient way to extract a node. What you might want to do is store the nodes in a binary tree, then when you get a request for the nth node, you do a binary search.

How to prevent line breaks in list items using CSS

Calling a method every x minutes

I've uploaded a Nuget Package that can make it so simple, you can have it from here ActionScheduler

It supports .NET Standard 2.0

And here how to start using it

using ActionScheduler;

var jobScheduler = new JobScheduler(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(8), new Action(() => {
  //What you want to execute
}));

jobScheduler.Start(); // To Start up the Scheduler

jobScheduler.Stop(); // To Stop Scheduler from Running.

Responsively change div size keeping aspect ratio

You can do this using pure CSS; no JavaScript needed. This utilizes the (somewhat counterintuitive) fact that padding-top percentages are relative to the containing block's width. Here's an example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.wrapper {_x000D_
  width: 50%;_x000D_
  /* whatever width you want */_x000D_
  display: inline-block;_x000D_
  position: relative;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.wrapper:after {_x000D_
  padding-top: 56.25%;_x000D_
  /* 16:9 ratio */_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  content: '';_x000D_
}_x000D_
.main {_x000D_
  position: absolute;_x000D_
  top: 0;_x000D_
  bottom: 0;_x000D_
  right: 0;_x000D_
  left: 0;_x000D_
  /* fill parent */_x000D_
  background-color: deepskyblue;_x000D_
  /* let's see it! */_x000D_
  color: white;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="wrapper">_x000D_
  <div class="main">_x000D_
    This is your div with the specified aspect ratio._x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
</div>

Store output of sed into a variable

In general,

variable=$(command)

or

variable=`command`

The latter one is the old syntax, prefer $(command).

Note: variable = .... means execute the command variable with the first argument =, the second ....

NavigationBar bar, tint, and title text color in iOS 8

To work in objective-c I have to put the following lines in viewWillAppear in my CustomViewController.

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

For Swift2.x this works:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.redColor()

For Swift3.x this works:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.red

Finding what branch a Git commit came from

While Dav is correct that the information isn't directly stored, that doesn't mean you can't ever find out. Here are a few things you can do.

Find branches the commit is on

git branch -a --contains <commit>

This will tell you all branches which have the given commit in their history. Obviously this is less useful if the commit's already been merged.

Search the reflogs

If you are working in the repository in which the commit was made, you can search the reflogs for the line for that commit. Reflogs older than 90 days are pruned by git-gc, so if the commit's too old, you won't find it. That said, you can do this:

git reflog show --all | grep a871742

to find commit a871742. Note that you MUST use the abbreviatd 7 first digits of the commit. The output should be something like this:

a871742 refs/heads/completion@{0}: commit (amend): mpc-completion: total rewrite

indicating that the commit was made on the branch "completion". The default output shows abbreviated commit hashes, so be sure not to search for the full hash or you won't find anything.

git reflog show is actually just an alias for git log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline, so if you want to fiddle with the output format to make different things available to grep for, that's your starting point!

If you're not working in the repository where the commit was made, the best you can do in this case is examine the reflogs and find when the commit was first introduced to your repository; with any luck, you fetched the branch it was committed to. This is a bit more complex, because you can't walk both the commit tree and reflogs simultaneously. You'd want to parse the reflog output, examining each hash to see if it contains the desired commit or not.

Find a subsequent merge commit

This is workflow-dependent, but with good workflows, commits are made on development branches which are then merged in. You could do this:

git log --merges <commit>..

to see merge commits that have the given commit as an ancestor. (If the commit was only merged once, the first one should be the merge you're after; otherwise you'll have to examine a few, I suppose.) The merge commit message should contain the branch name that was merged.

If you want to be able to count on doing this, you may want to use the --no-ff option to git merge to force merge commit creation even in the fast-forward case. (Don't get too eager, though. That could become obfuscating if overused.) VonC's answer to a related question helpfully elaborates on this topic.

Android - how to replace part of a string by another string?

It is working, but it wont modify the caller object, but returning a new String.
So you just need to assign it to a new String variable, or to itself:

string = string.replace("to", "xyz");

or

String newString = string.replace("to", "xyz");

API Docs

public String replace (CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement) 

Since: API Level 1

Parameters

  • target the sequence to replace.
  • replacement the replacement sequence.

Returns the resulting string.
Throws NullPointerException if target or replacement is null.

How to convert a pandas DataFrame subset of columns AND rows into a numpy array?

How to put labels over geom_bar for each bar in R with ggplot2

To add to rcs' answer, if you want to use position_dodge() with geom_bar() when x is a POSIX.ct date, you must multiply the width by 86400, e.g.,

ggplot(data=dat, aes(x=Types, y=Number, fill=sample)) + 
 geom_bar(position = "dodge", stat = 'identity') +
 geom_text(aes(label=Number), position=position_dodge(width=0.9*86400), vjust=-0.25)

jQuery toggle animation

I dont think adding dual functions inside the toggle function works for a registered click event (Unless I'm missing something)

For example:

$('.btnName').click(function() {
 top.$('#panel').toggle(function() {
   $(this).animate({ 
     // style change
   }, 500);
   },
   function() {
   $(this).animate({ 
     // style change back
   }, 500);
 });

Why can't I use background image and color together?

Gecko has a weird bug where setting the background-color for the html selector will cover up the background-image of the body element even though the body element in effect has a greater z-index and you should be able to see the body's background-image along with the html background-color based purely on simple logic.

Gecko Bug

Avoid the following...

html {background-color: #fff;}
body {background-image: url(example.png);}

Work Around

body {background-color: #fff; background-image: url(example.png);}

Merge two rows in SQL

I had a similar problem. The difference was that I needed far more control over what I was returning so I ended up with an simple clear but rather long query. Here is a simplified version of it based on your example.

select main.id, Field1_Q.Field1, Field2_Q.Field2
from 
(
    select distinct id
    from Table1
)as main
left outer join (
    select id, max(Field1)
    from Table1
    where Field1 is not null
    group by id
) as Field1_Q on main.id = Field1_Q.id
left outer join (
    select id, max(Field2)
    from Table1
    where Field2 is not null
    group by id
) as Field2_Q on main.id = Field2_Q.id 
;

The trick here is that the first select 'main' selects the rows to display. Then you have one select per field. What is being joined on should be all of the same values returned by the 'main' query.

Be warned, those other queries need to return only one row per id or you will be ignoring data

How do I upload a file with the JS fetch API?

The accepted answer here is a bit dated. As of April 2020, a recommended approach seen on the MDN website suggests using FormData and also does not ask to set the content type. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch

I'm quoting the code snippet for convenience:

const formData = new FormData();
const fileField = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');

formData.append('username', 'abc123');
formData.append('avatar', fileField.files[0]);

fetch('https://example.com/profile/avatar', {
  method: 'PUT',
  body: formData
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((result) => {
  console.log('Success:', result);
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

call a function in success of datatable ajax call

Based on the docs, xhr Ajax event would fire when an Ajax request is completed. So you can do something like this:

let data_table = $('#example-table').dataTable({
        ajax: "data.json"
    });

data_table.on('xhr.dt', function ( e, settings, json, xhr ) {
        // Do some staff here...
        $('#status').html( json.status );
    } )

How can I delete a file from a Git repository?

First, if you are using git rm, especially for multiple files, consider any wildcard will be resolved by the shell, not by the git command.

git rm -- *.anExtension
git commit -m "remove multiple files"

But, if your file is already on GitHub, you can (since July 2013) directly delete it from the web GUI!

Simply view any file in your repository, click the trash can icon at the top, and commit the removal just like any other web-based edit.

Then "git pull" on your local repo, and that will delete the file locally too.
Which makes this answer a (roundabout) way to delete a file from git repo?
(Not to mention that a file on GitHub is in a "git repo")


delete button

(the commit will reflect the deletion of that file):

commit a deletion

And just like that, it’s gone.

For help with these features, be sure to read our help articles on creating, moving, renaming, and deleting files.

Note: Since it’s a version control system, Git always has your back if you need to recover the file later.

The last sentence means that the deleted file is still part of the history, and you can restore it easily enough (but not yet through the GitHub web interface):

See "Restore a deleted file in a Git repo".

Scroll to the top of the page after render in react.js

Hook solution:

  • Create a ScrollToTop hook

    import { useEffect } from "react";
    import { withRouter } from "react-router-dom";

    const ScrollToTop = ({ children, location: { pathname } }) => {
      useEffect(() => {
        window.scrollTo({
          top: 0,
          left: 0,
          behavior: "smooth"
        });
      }, [pathname]);

      return children || null;
    };

    export default withRouter(ScrollToTop);

  • Wrap your App with it

    <Router>
        <ScrollToTop>
           <App />
        </ScrollToTop>
    </Router>

Cannot assign requested address - possible causes?

this is just a shot in the dark : when you call connect without a bind first, the system allocates your local port, and if you have multiple threads connecting and disconnecting it could possibly try to allocate a port already in use. the kernel source file inet_connection_sock.c hints at this condition. just as an experiment try doing a bind to a local port first, making sure each bind/connect uses a different local port number.

Getting list of files in documents folder

Swift 5

// Get the document directory url
let documentsUrl =  FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!

do {
    // Get the directory contents urls (including subfolders urls)
    let directoryContents = try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: documentsUrl, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil)
    print(directoryContents)

    // if you want to filter the directory contents you can do like this:
    let mp3Files = directoryContents.filter{ $0.pathExtension == "mp3" }
    print("mp3 urls:",mp3Files)
    let mp3FileNames = mp3Files.map{ $0.deletingPathExtension().lastPathComponent }
    print("mp3 list:", mp3FileNames)

} catch {
    print(error)
}

How can I get the executing assembly version?

using System.Reflection;
{
    string version = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
}

Remarks from MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getentryassembly%28v=vs.110%29.aspx:

The GetEntryAssembly method can return null when a managed assembly has been loaded from an unmanaged application. For example, if an unmanaged application creates an instance of a COM component written in C#, a call to the GetEntryAssembly method from the C# component returns null, because the entry point for the process was unmanaged code rather than a managed assembly.

Android, How to limit width of TextView (and add three dots at the end of text)?

Use

  • android:singleLine="true"
  • android:maxLines="1"
  • app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"

It's how my full TextView looks:

Get Public URL for File - Google Cloud Storage - App Engine (Python)

You need to use get_serving_url from the Images API. As that page explains, you need to call create_gs_key() first to get the key to pass to the Images API.

How to get current instance name from T-SQL

Just to add some clarification to the registry queries. They only list the instances of the matching bitness (32 or 64) for the current instance.

The actual registry key for 32-bit SQL instances on a 64-bit OS is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server

You can query this on a 64-bit instance to get all 32-bit instances as well. The 32-bit instance seems restricted to the Wow6432Node so cannot read the 64-bit registry tree.

Downloading all maven dependencies to a directory NOT in repository?

I finally figured out a how to use Maven. From within Eclipse, create a new Maven project.

Download Maven, extract the archive, add the /bin folder to path.

Validate install from command-line by running mvn -v (will print version and java install path)

Change to the project root folder (where pom.xml is located) and run:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

All jar-files are downloaded to /target/dependency.

To set another output directory:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory="c:\temp"

Now it's possible to re-use this Maven-project for all dependency downloads by altering the pom.xml

Add jars to java project by build path -> configure build path -> libraries -> add JARs..

TypeError: Missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

You can call the method like pump.getPumps(). By adding @classmethod decorator on the method. A class method receives the class as the implicit first argument, just like an instance method receives the instance.

class Pump:

def __init__(self):
    print ("init") # never prints

@classmethod
def getPumps(cls):
            # Open database connection
            # some stuff here that never gets executed because of error

So, simply call Pump.getPumps() .

In java, it is termed as static method.

How to pass a user / password in ansible command

FQDN is always required by Kerberos.

How should I cast in VB.NET?

Those are all slightly different, and generally have an acceptable usage.

  • var.ToString() is going to give you the string representation of an object, regardless of what type it is. Use this if var is not a string already.
  • CStr(var) is the VB string cast operator. I'm not a VB guy, so I would suggest avoiding it, but it's not really going to hurt anything. I think it is basically the same as CType.
  • CType(var, String) will convert the given type into a string, using any provided conversion operators.
  • DirectCast(var, String) is used to up-cast an object into a string. If you know that an object variable is, in fact, a string, use this. This is the same as (string)var in C#.
  • TryCast (as mentioned by @NotMyself) is like DirectCast, but it will return Nothing if the variable can't be converted into a string, rather than throwing an exception. This is the same as var as string in C#. The TryCast page on MSDN has a good comparison, too.

On logout, clear Activity history stack, preventing "back" button from opening logged-in-only Activities

One option is to have each activity's onCreate check logged-in status, and finish() if not logged-in. I do not like this option, as the back button will still be available for use, navigating back as activities close themselves.

What you want to do is call logout() and finish() on your onStop() or onPause() methods. This will force Android to call onCreate() when the activity is brought back on since it won't have it in its activity's stack any longer. Then do as you say, in onCreate() check logged in status and forward to login screen if not logged in.

Another thing you could do is check logged in status in onResume(), and if not logged in, finish() and launch login activity.

Is there a way to specify which pytest tests to run from a file?

Here's a possible partial answer, because it only allows selecting the test scripts, not individual tests within those scripts.

And it also limited by my using legacy compatibility mode vs unittest scripts, so not guaranteeing it would work with native pytest.

Here goes:

  1. create a new dictory, say subset_tests_directory.
  2. ln -s tests_directory/foo.py
  3. ln -s tests_directory/bar.py

  4. be careful about imports which implicitly assume files are in test_directory. I had to fix several of those by running python foo.py, from within subset_tests_directory and correcting as needed.

  5. Once the test scripts execute correctly, just cd subset_tests_directory and pytest there. Pytest will only pick up the scripts it sees.

Another possibility is symlinking within your current test directory, say as ln -s foo.py subset_foo.py then pytest subset*.py. That would avoid needing to adjust your imports, but it would clutter things up until you removed the symlinks. Worked for me as well.

How to pass object with NSNotificationCenter

You'll have to use the "userInfo" variant and pass a NSDictionary object that contains the messageTotal integer:

NSDictionary* userInfo = @{@"total": @(messageTotal)};

NSNotificationCenter* nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[nc postNotificationName:@"eRXReceived" object:self userInfo:userInfo];

On the receiving end you can access the userInfo dictionary as follows:

-(void) receiveTestNotification:(NSNotification*)notification
{
    if ([notification.name isEqualToString:@"TestNotification"])
    {
        NSDictionary* userInfo = notification.userInfo;
        NSNumber* total = (NSNumber*)userInfo[@"total"];
        NSLog (@"Successfully received test notification! %i", total.intValue);
    }
}

Google server putty connect 'Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)

I had PuTTY working and then one day got this error.

Solution: I had revised the folder path name containing my certificates (private keys), and this caused Pageant to lose track of the certificates and so was empty.

Once I re-installed the certificate into Pageant then Putty started working again.

jQuery: print_r() display equivalent?

console.log is what I most often use when debugging.

Check if all elements in a list are identical

def allTheSame(i):
    j = itertools.groupby(i)
    for k in j: break
    for k in j: return False
    return True

Works in Python 2.4, which doesn't have "all".

SQL ORDER BY multiple columns

The results are ordered by the first column, then the second, and so on for as many columns as the ORDER BY clause includes. If you want any results sorted in descending order, your ORDER BY clause must use the DESC keyword directly after the name or the number of the relevant column.

Check out this Example

SELECT first_name, last_name, hire_date, salary 
FROM employee 
ORDER BY hire_date DESC,last_name ASC;

It will order in succession. Order the Hire_Date first, then LAST_NAME it by Hire_Date .

Allow multi-line in EditText view in Android?

Visual Studio: Relative Assembly References Paths

Probably, the easiest way to achieve this is to simply add the reference to the assembly and then (manually) patch the textual representation of the reference in the corresponding Visual Studio project file (extension .csproj) such that it becomes relative.

I've done this plenty of times in VS 2005 without any problems.

My C# application is returning 0xE0434352 to Windows Task Scheduler but it is not crashing

I was getting the same message message within dotNet Core 2.2 using MVC 5, however nothing was being logged to the Windows Event Viewer.

I found that I had changed the Project sdk from Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web to Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor (seen within the projects.csproj file). I changed this back and it worked fine :)

Total width of element (including padding and border) in jQuery

[Update]

The original answer was written prior to jQuery 1.3, and the functions that existed at the time where not adequate by themselves to calculate the whole width.

Now, as J-P correctly states, jQuery has the functions outerWidth and outerHeight which include the border and padding by default, and also the margin if the first argument of the function is true


[Original answer]

The width method no longer requires the dimensions plugin, because it has been added to the jQuery Core

What you need to do is get the padding, margin and border width-values of that particular div and add them to the result of the width method

Something like this:

var theDiv = $("#theDiv");
var totalWidth = theDiv.width();
totalWidth += parseInt(theDiv.css("padding-left"), 10) + parseInt(theDiv.css("padding-right"), 10); //Total Padding Width
totalWidth += parseInt(theDiv.css("margin-left"), 10) + parseInt(theDiv.css("margin-right"), 10); //Total Margin Width
totalWidth += parseInt(theDiv.css("borderLeftWidth"), 10) + parseInt(theDiv.css("borderRightWidth"), 10); //Total Border Width

Split into multiple lines to make it more readable

That way you will always get the correct computed value, even if you change the padding or margin values from the css

Declare and initialize a Dictionary in Typescript

I agree with thomaux that the initialization type checking error is a TypeScript bug. However, I still wanted to find a way to declare and initialize a Dictionary in a single statement with correct type checking. This implementation is longer, however it adds additional functionality such as a containsKey(key: string) and remove(key: string) method. I suspect that this could be simplified once generics are available in the 0.9 release.

First we declare the base Dictionary class and Interface. The interface is required for the indexer because classes cannot implement them.

interface IDictionary {
    add(key: string, value: any): void;
    remove(key: string): void;
    containsKey(key: string): bool;
    keys(): string[];
    values(): any[];
}

class Dictionary {

    _keys: string[] = new string[];
    _values: any[] = new any[];

    constructor(init: { key: string; value: any; }[]) {

        for (var x = 0; x < init.length; x++) {
            this[init[x].key] = init[x].value;
            this._keys.push(init[x].key);
            this._values.push(init[x].value);
        }
    }

    add(key: string, value: any) {
        this[key] = value;
        this._keys.push(key);
        this._values.push(value);
    }

    remove(key: string) {
        var index = this._keys.indexOf(key, 0);
        this._keys.splice(index, 1);
        this._values.splice(index, 1);

        delete this[key];
    }

    keys(): string[] {
        return this._keys;
    }

    values(): any[] {
        return this._values;
    }

    containsKey(key: string) {
        if (typeof this[key] === "undefined") {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

    toLookup(): IDictionary {
        return this;
    }
}

Now we declare the Person specific type and Dictionary/Dictionary interface. In the PersonDictionary note how we override values() and toLookup() to return the correct types.

interface IPerson {
    firstName: string;
    lastName: string;
}

interface IPersonDictionary extends IDictionary {
    [index: string]: IPerson;
    values(): IPerson[];
}

class PersonDictionary extends Dictionary {
    constructor(init: { key: string; value: IPerson; }[]) {
        super(init);
    }

    values(): IPerson[]{
        return this._values;
    }

    toLookup(): IPersonDictionary {
        return this;
    }
}

And here is a simple initialization and usage example:

var persons = new PersonDictionary([
    { key: "p1", value: { firstName: "F1", lastName: "L2" } },
    { key: "p2", value: { firstName: "F2", lastName: "L2" } },
    { key: "p3", value: { firstName: "F3", lastName: "L3" } }
]).toLookup();


alert(persons["p1"].firstName + " " + persons["p1"].lastName);
// alert: F1 L2

persons.remove("p2");

if (!persons.containsKey("p2")) {
    alert("Key no longer exists");
    // alert: Key no longer exists
}

alert(persons.keys().join(", "));
// alert: p1, p3

jQuery: get the file name selected from <input type="file" />

                    .width(150).height(200);
        };

        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);

transparent navigation bar ios

Swift Solution

This is the best way that I've found. You can just paste it into your appDelegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:

Swift 3 / 4

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    // Sets background to a blank/empty image
    UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
    // Sets shadow (line below the bar) to a blank image
    UINavigationBar.appearance().shadowImage = UIImage()
    // Sets the translucent background color
    UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
    // Set translucent. (Default value is already true, so this can be removed if desired.)
    UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = true
    return true
}

Swift 2.0

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    // Sets background to a blank/empty image
    UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
    // Sets shadow (line below the bar) to a blank image
    UINavigationBar.appearance().shadowImage = UIImage()
    // Sets the translucent background color
    UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 0.0)
    // Set translucent. (Default value is already true, so this can be removed if desired.)
    UINavigationBar.appearance().translucent = true

    return true
}

How to make a link open multiple pages when clicked

If you prefer to inform the visitor which links will be opened, you can use a JS function reading links from an html element. You can even let the visitor write/modify the links as seen below:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    function open_all_links() {
        var x = document.getElementById('my_urls').value.split('\n');
        for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++)
            if (x[i].indexOf('.') > 0)
            if (x[i].indexOf('://') < 0)
                window.open('http://' + x[i]);
            else
                window.open(x[i]);
    }
</script>



<form method="post" name="input" action=""> 
    <textarea id="my_urls" rows="4" placeholder="enter links in each row..."></textarea>
    <input value="open all now" type="button" onclick="open_all_links();">
</form>

Get file size before uploading

Please do not use ActiveX as chances are that it will display a scary warning message in Internet Explorer and scare your users away.

ActiveX warning

If anyone wants to implement this check, they should only rely on the FileList object available in modern browsers and rely on server side checks only for older browsers (progressive enhancement).

function getFileSize(fileInputElement){
    if (!fileInputElement.value ||
        typeof fileInputElement.files === 'undefined' ||
        typeof fileInputElement.files[0] === 'undefined' ||
        typeof fileInputElement.files[0].size !== 'number'
    ) {
        // File size is undefined.
        return undefined;
    }

    return fileInputElement.files[0].size;
}

Link to "pin it" on pinterest without generating a button

You can create a custom link as described here using a small jQuery script

$('.linkPinIt').click(function(){
    var url = $(this).attr('href');
    var media = $(this).attr('data-image');
    var desc = $(this).attr('data-desc');
    window.open("//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"+
    "?url="+url+
    "&media="+media+
    "&description="+desc,"_blank","top=0,right=0,width=750,height=320");
    return false; 
});

this will work for all links with class linkPinItwhich have the image and the description stored in the HTML 5 data attributes data-image and data-desc

<a href="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F" 
   data-image="https%3A%2F%2Fc4.staticflickr.com%2F8%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_b.jpg" 
   data-desc="Title for Pinterest Photo" class="linkPinIt">
    Pin it!
</a>

memory error in python

A memory error means that your program has ran out of memory. This means that your program somehow creates too many objects.

In your example, you have to look for parts of your algorithm that could be consuming a lot of memory. I suspect that your program is given very long strings as inputs. Therefore, s[i:j+1] could be the culprit, since it creates a new list. The first time you use it though, it is not necessary because you don't use the created list. You could try to see if the following helps:

if  j + 1 < a:
    sub_strings.append(s[i:j+1])

To replace the second list creation, you should definitely use a buffer object, as suggested by glglgl.

Also note that since you use if j >= i:, you don't need to start your xrange at 0. You can have:

for i in xrange(0, a):
    for j in xrange(i, a):
        # No need for if j >= i

A more radical alternative would be to try to rework your algorithm so that you don't pre-compute all possible sub-strings. Instead, you could simply compute the substring that are asked.

How to use ConfigurationManager

Go to tools >> nuget >> console and type:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager 

If you want a specific version:

Install-Package System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager -Version 4.5.0

Your ConfigurationManager dll will now be imported and the code will begin to work.

Cannot implicitly convert type from Task<>

You need to make TestGetMethod async too and attach await in front of GetIdList(); will unwrap the task to List<int>, So if your helper function is returning Task make sure you have await as you are calling the function async too.

public Task<List<int>> TestGetMethod()
{
    return GetIdList();
}    

async Task<List<int>> GetIdList()
{
    using (HttpClient proxy = new HttpClient())
    {
        string response = await proxy.GetStringAsync("www.test.com");
        List<int> idList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<int>>();
        return idList;
    }
}

Another option

public async void TestGetMethod(List<int> results)
{
    results = await GetIdList(); // await will unwrap the List<int>
}

How to correctly assign a new string value?

The first example doesn't work because you can't assign values to arrays - arrays work (sort of) like const pointers in this respect. What you can do though is copy a new value into the array:

strcpy(p.name, "Jane");

Char arrays are fine to use if you know the maximum size of the string in advance, e.g. in the first example you are 100% sure that the name will fit into 19 characters (not 20 because one character is always needed to store the terminating zero value).

Conversely, pointers are better if you don't know the possible maximum size of your string, and/or you want to optimize your memory usage, e.g. avoid reserving 512 characters for the name "John". However, with pointers you need to dynamically allocate the buffer they point to, and free it when not needed anymore, to avoid memory leaks.

Update: example of dynamically allocated buffers (using the struct definition in your 2nd example):

char* firstName = "Johnnie";
char* surname = "B. Goode";
person p;

p.name = malloc(strlen(firstName) + 1);
p.surname = malloc(strlen(surname) + 1);

p.age = 25;
strcpy(p.name, firstName);
strcpy(p.surname, surname);

printf("Name: %s; Age: %d\n",p.name,p.age);

free(p.surname);
free(p.name);

Implode an array with JavaScript?

You can do this in plain JavaScript, use Array.prototype.join:

It worked for me.

How does functools partial do what it does?

This answer is more of an example code. All the above answers give good explanations regarding why one should use partial. I will give my observations and use cases about partial.

from functools import partial
 def adder(a,b,c):
    print('a:{},b:{},c:{}'.format(a,b,c))
    ans = a+b+c
    print(ans)
partial_adder = partial(adder,1,2)
partial_adder(3)  ## now partial_adder is a callable that can take only one argument

Output of the above code should be:

a:1,b:2,c:3
6

Notice that in the above example a new callable was returned that will take parameter (c) as it's argument. Note that it is also the last argument to the function.

args = [1,2]
partial_adder = partial(adder,*args)
partial_adder(3)

Output of the above code is also:

a:1,b:2,c:3
6

Notice that * was used to unpack the non-keyword arguments and the callable returned in terms of which argument it can take is same as above.

Another observation is: Below example demonstrates that partial returns a callable which will take the undeclared parameter (a) as an argument.

def adder(a,b=1,c=2,d=3,e=4):
    print('a:{},b:{},c:{},d:{},e:{}'.format(a,b,c,d,e))
    ans = a+b+c+d+e
    print(ans)
partial_adder = partial(adder,b=10,c=2)
partial_adder(20)

Output of the above code should be:

a:20,b:10,c:2,d:3,e:4
39

Similarly,

kwargs = {'b':10,'c':2}
partial_adder = partial(adder,**kwargs)
partial_adder(20)

Above code prints

a:20,b:10,c:2,d:3,e:4
39

I had to use it when I was using Pool.map_async method from multiprocessing module. You can pass only one argument to the worker function so I had to use partial to make my worker function look like a callable with only one input argument but in reality my worker function had multiple input arguments.

Can't get private key with openssl (no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY)

My two cents: came across the same error message in RHEL7.3 while running the openssl command with root CA certificate. The reason being, while downloading the certificate from AD server, Encoding was selected as DER instead of Base64. Once the proper version of encoding was selected for the new certificate download, error was resolved

Hope this helps for new users :-)

Best way to Bulk Insert from a C# DataTable

string connectionString= ServerName + DatabaseName + SecurityType;
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))

    }
}

Please note that the structure of the database table and the table name should be the same or it will throw an exception.

Base64 PNG data to HTML5 canvas

Jerryf's answer is fine, except for one flaw.

The onload event should be set before the src. Sometimes the src can be loaded instantly and never fire the onload event.

(Like Totty.js pointed out.)

var canvas = document.getElementById("c");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

var image = new Image();
image.onload = function() {
    ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
};
image.src = "data:image/  png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAIAAAACDbGyAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAlwSFlzAAALEwAACxMBAJqcGAAAAAd0SU1FB9oMCRUiMrIBQVkAAAAZdEVYdENvbW1lbnQAQ3JlYXRlZCB3aXRoIEdJTVBXgQ4XAAAADElEQVQI12NgoC4AAABQAAEiE+h1AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC";

Migrating from VMWARE to VirtualBox

After many attempts I was finally able to get this working. Essentially what I did was download and use the vmware converter to merge the two disks into one. After that I was able to attach the newly created disk to VitrualBox.

The steps involved are very simple:

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!

1) MAKE A BACKUP!!! Even if you follow these instruction, you could screw things up, so make a backup. Just shutdown the VM and then make a copy of the directory where VM resides.

2) Uninstall VMware Tools from the VM that you are going to convert. If for some reason you forget this step, you can still uninstall it after getting everything running under VirtualBox by following these steps. Do yourself the favor and just do it now.

NOW THE FUN PART!!!

1) Download and install the VMware Converter. I used 5.0.1 build-875114, just use the latest.

2) Download and install VirtualBox

3) Fire up VMWare convertor:

Fire up VMWare convertor

4) Click on Convert machine

6) Browse to the .vmx for your VM and click Next.

Convert machine

7) Give the new VM a name and select the location where you want to put it. Click Next

Give the new VM a name and select the location

8) Click Next on the Options screen. You shouldn't have to change anything here.

Click <code>Next</code> on the <code>Options</code> screen.

9) Click Finish on the Summary screen to begin the conversion.

Click <code>Finish</code> on the <code>Summary</code> screen

10) The conversion should start. This will take a LOOONG time so be patient.

The conversion should start.

11) Hopefully all went well, if it did, you should see that the conversion is completed:

conversion is completed

12) Now open up VirtualBox and click New.

open up VirtualBox and click <code>New</code>

13) Give your VM a name and select what Type and Version it is. Click Next.

Give your VM a name and select what <code>Type</code> and <code>Version</code> it is.

14) Select the size of the memory you want to give it. Click Next.

Select the size of the memory you want to give it.

15) For the Hard Drive, click Use and existing hard drive file and select the newly converted .vmdk file.

Use and existing hard drive file

16) Now Click Settings and select the Storage menu. The issue is that by default VirtualBox will add the drive as an IDE. This won't work and we need as we need to put it on a SCSI controller.

put it on a SCSI controller

17) Select the IDE controller and the Remove Controller button.

Select the IDE controller and the <code>Remove Controller</code> button.

18) Now click the Add Controller button and select Add SCSI Controller

Add SCSI Controller

19) Click the Add Hard Disk button.

Add Hard Disk

20) Click Choose existing disk

Choose existing disk

21) Select your .vmdk file. Click OK

Select your <code>.vmdk</code> file.

22) Select the System menu.

Select the <code>System</code> menu.

23) Click Enable IO APIC. Then click OK

Click <code>Enable IO APIC</code>.

24) Congrats!!! Your VM is now confgiured! Click Start to startup the VM!

Click <code>Start</code> to startup the VM!

Javascript: Easier way to format numbers?

No, there is no built-in support for number formatting, but googling will turn up loads of code snippets that will do this for you.

EDIT: I missed the last sentence of your post. Try http://code.google.com/p/jquery-utils/wiki/StringFormat for a jQuery solution.

How to remove duplicates from a list?

The "contains" method searched for whether the list contains an entry that returns true from Customer.equals(Object o). If you have not overridden equals(Object) in Customer or one of its parents then it will only search for an existing occurrence of the same object. It may be this was what you wanted, in which case your code should work. But if you were looking for not having two objects both representing the same customer, then you need to override equals(Object) to return true when that is the case.

It is also true that using one of the implementations of Set instead of List would give you duplicate removal automatically, and faster (for anything other than very small Lists). You will still need to provide code for equals.

You should also override hashCode() when you override equals().

How to convert hashmap to JSON object in Java

Underscore-java library can convert hash map or array list to json and vice verse.

import com.github.underscore.lodash.U;
import java.util.*;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Map<String, Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        map.put("1", "a");
        map.put("2", "b");

        System.out.println(U.toJson(map));
        // {
        //    "1": "a",
        //    "2": "b"
        // }
    }
}

How can I String.Format a TimeSpan object with a custom format in .NET?

Personally, I like this approach:

TimeSpan ts = ...;
string.Format("{0:%d}d {0:%h}h {0:%m}m {0:%s}s", ts);

You can make this as custom as you like with no problems:

string.Format("{0:%d}days {0:%h}hours {0:%m}min {0:%s}sec", ts);
string.Format("{0:%d}d {0:%h}h {0:%m}' {0:%s}''", ts);

            } catch {
                print("an error during a removing")
            }
        }
    }
}

In git, what is the difference between merge --squash and rebase?

Merge squash merges a tree (a sequence of commits) into a single commit. That is, it squashes all changes made in n commits into a single commit.

Rebasing is re-basing, that is, choosing a new base (parent commit) for a tree. Maybe the mercurial term for this is more clear: they call it transplant because it's just that: picking a new ground (parent commit, root) for a tree.

When doing an interactive rebase, you're given the option to either squash, pick, edit or skip the commits you are going to rebase.

Hope that was clear!

How to use a calculated column to calculate another column in the same view

If you want to refer to calculated column on the "same query level" then you could use CROSS APPLY(Oracle 12c):

--Sample data:
CREATE TABLE tab(ColumnA NUMBER(10,2),ColumnB NUMBER(10,2),ColumnC NUMBER(10,2));

INSERT INTO tab(ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC) VALUES (2, 10, 2);
INSERT INTO tab(ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC) VALUES (3, 15, 6);
INSERT INTO tab(ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC) VALUES (7, 14, 3);
COMMIT;

Query:

SELECT
  ColumnA,
  ColumnB,
  sub.calccolumn1,
  sub.calccolumn1 / ColumnC AS calccolumn2
FROM tab t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT t.ColumnA + t.ColumnB AS calccolumn1 FROM dual) sub;

DBFiddle Demo


Please note that expression from CROSS APPLY/OUTER APPLY is available in other clauses too:

SELECT
  ColumnA,
  ColumnB,
  sub.calccolumn1,
  sub.calccolumn1 / ColumnC AS calccolumn2
FROM tab t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT t.ColumnA + t.ColumnB AS calccolumn1 FROM dual) sub
WHERE sub.calccolumn1 = 12;
-- GROUP BY ...
-- ORDER BY ...;

This approach allows to avoid wrapping entire query with outerquery or copy/paste same expression in multiple places(with complex one it could be hard to maintain).

How to create a session using JavaScript?

You can store and read string information in a cookie.

If it is a session id coming from the server, the server can generate this cookie. And when another request is sent to the server the cookie will come too. Without having to do anything in the browser.

However if it is javascript that creates the session Id. You can create a cookie with javascript, with a function like:

function writeCookie(name,value,days) {
    var date, expires;
    if (days) {
        date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
        expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
            }else{
        expires = "";
    }
    document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/";
}

Then in each page you need this session Id you can read the cookie, with a function like:

function readCookie(name) {
    var i, c, ca, nameEQ = name + "=";
    ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
        c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') {
            c = c.substring(1,c.length);
        }
        if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) {
            return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
        }
    }
    return '';
}

The read function work from any page or tab of the same domain that has written it, either if the cookie was created from the page in javascript or from the server.

To store the id:

var sId = 's234543245';
writeCookie('sessionId', sId, 3);

To read the id:

var sId = readCookie('sessionId')

How to disable button in React.js

very simple solution for this is by using useRef hook

const buttonRef = useRef();

const disableButton = () =>{
  buttonRef.current.disabled = true; // this disables the button
 }

<button
className="btn btn-primary mt-2"
ref={buttonRef}
onClick={disableButton}
>
    Add
</button>

Similarly you can enable the button by using buttonRef.current.disabled = false

Passing 'this' to an onclick event

Yeah first method will work on any element called from elsewhere since it will always take the target element irrespective of id.

Regex pattern for checking if a string starts with a certain substring?

The StartsWith method will be faster, as there is no overhead of interpreting a regular expression, but here is how you do it:

if (Regex.IsMatch(theString, "^(mailto|ftp|joe):")) ...

The ^ mathes the start of the string. You can put any protocols between the parentheses separated by | characters.

edit:

Another approach that is much faster, is to get the start of the string and use in a switch. The switch sets up a hash table with the strings, so it's faster than comparing all the strings:

int index = theString.IndexOf(':');
if (index != -1) {
  switch (theString.Substring(0, index)) {
    case "mailto":
    case "ftp":
    case "joe":
      // do something
      break;
  }
}

IOS - How to segue programmatically using swift

Another option is to use modal segue

STEP 1: Go to the storyboard, and give the View Controller a Storyboard ID. You can find where to change the storyboard ID in the Identity Inspector on the right. Lets call the storyboard ID ModalViewController

STEP 2: Open up the 'sender' view controller (let's call it ViewController) and add this code to it

public class ViewController {
  override func viewDidLoad() {
    showModalView()
  }

  func showModalView() {
    if let mvc = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ModalViewController") as? ModalViewController {
      self.present(mvc, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
  }
}

Note that the View Controller we want to open is also called ModalViewController

STEP 3: To close ModalViewController, add this to it

public class ModalViewController {
   @IBAction func closeThisViewController(_ sender: Any?) {
      self.presentingViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
   }
}

Vue.js—Difference between v-model and v-bind

In simple words v-model is for two way bindings means: if you change input value, the bound data will be changed and vice versa.

Is it bad practice to use break to exit a loop in Java?

While its not bad practice to use break and there are many excellent uses for it, it should not be all you rely upon. Almost any use of a break can be written into the loop condition. Code is far more readable when real conditions are used, but in the case of a long-running or infinite loop, breaks make perfect sense. They also make sense when searching for data, as shown above.

Delayed function calls

Aside from agreeing with the design observations of the previous commenters, none of the solutions were clean enough for me. .Net 4 provides Dispatcher and Task classes which make delaying execution on the current thread pretty simple:

static class AsyncUtils
{
    static public void DelayCall(int msec, Action fn)
    {
        // Grab the dispatcher from the current executing thread
        Dispatcher d = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher;

        // Tasks execute in a thread pool thread
        new Task (() => {
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (msec);   // delay

            // use the dispatcher to asynchronously invoke the action 
            // back on the original thread
            d.BeginInvoke (fn);                     
        }).Start ();
    }
}

For context, I'm using this to debounce an ICommand tied to a left mouse button up on a UI element. Users are double clicking which was causing all kinds of havoc. (I know I could also use Click/DoubleClick handlers, but I wanted a solution that works with ICommands across the board).

public void Execute(object parameter)
{
    if (!IsDebouncing) {
        IsDebouncing = true;
        AsyncUtils.DelayCall (DebouncePeriodMsec, () => {
            IsDebouncing = false;
        });

        _execute ();
    }
}

Do you have to put Task.Run in a method to make it async?

One of the most important thing to remember when decorating a method with async is that at least there is one await operator inside the method. In your example, I would translate it as shown below using TaskCompletionSource.

private Task<int> DoWorkAsync()
{
    //create a task completion source
    //the type of the result value must be the same
    //as the type in the returning Task
    TaskCompletionSource<int> tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();
    Task.Run(() =>
    {
        int result = 1 + 2;
        //set the result to TaskCompletionSource
        tcs.SetResult(result);
    });
    //return the Task
    return tcs.Task;
}

private async void DoWork()
{
    int result = await DoWorkAsync();
}

Finalize vs Dispose

Diff between Finalize and Dispose methods in C#.

GC calls the finalize method to reclaim the unmanaged resources(such as file operarion, windows api, network connection, database connection) but time is not fixed when GC would call it. It is called implicitly by GC it means we do not have low level control on it.

Dispose Method: We have low level control on it as we call it from the code. we can reclaim the unmanaged resources whenever we feel it is not usable.We can achieve this by implementing IDisposal pattern.

Getting an odd error, SQL Server query using `WITH` clause

In some cases this also occurs if you have table hints and you have spaces between WITH clause and your hint, so best to type it like:

And not:

SELECT Column1 FROM Table1 t1 WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN Table2 t2 WITH (NOLOCK) ON t1.Column1 = t2.Column1

Using bash string manipulation http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html

Execute a terminal command from a Cocoa app

You can use NSTask. Here's an example that would run '/usr/bin/grep foo bar.txt'.

int pid = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processIdentifier];
NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
NSFileHandle *file = pipe.fileHandleForReading;

NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
task.launchPath = @"/usr/bin/grep";
task.arguments = @[@"foo", @"bar.txt"];
task.standardOutput = pipe;

[task launch];

NSData *data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];
[file closeFile];

NSString *grepOutput = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog (@"grep returned:\n%@", grepOutput);

NSPipe and NSFileHandle are used to redirect the standard output of the task.

For more detailed information on interacting with the operating system from within your Objective-C application, you can see this document on Apple's Development Center: Interacting with the Operating System.

Edit: Included fix for NSLog problem

If you are using NSTask to run a command-line utility via bash, then you need to include this magic line to keep NSLog working:

//The magic line that keeps your log where it belongs
task.standardOutput = pipe;

An explanation is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20141121094204/https://cocoadev.com/HowToPipeCommandsWithNSTask

Text File Parsing with Python

I would use a for loop to iterate over the lines in the text file:

for line in my_text:
    outputfile.writelines(data_parser(line, reps))

If you want to read the file line-by-line instead of loading the whole thing at the start of the script you could do something like this:

inputfile = open('test.dat')
outputfile = open('test.csv', 'w')

# sample text string, just for demonstration to let you know how the data looks like
# my_text = '"2012-06-23 03:09:13.23",4323584,-1.911224,-0.4657288,-0.1166382,-0.24823,0.256485,"NAN",-0.3489428,-0.130449,-0.2440527,-0.2942413,0.04944348,0.4337797,-1.105218,-1.201882,-0.5962594,-0.586636'

# dictionary definition 0-, 1- etc. are there to parse the date block delimited with dashes, and make sure the negative numbers are not effected
reps = {'"NAN"':'NAN', '"':'', '0-':'0,','1-':'1,','2-':'2,','3-':'3,','4-':'4,','5-':'5,','6-':'6,','7-':'7,','8-':'8,','9-':'9,', ' ':',', ':':',' }

for i in range(4): inputfile.next() # skip first four lines
for line in inputfile:
    outputfile.writelines(data_parser(line, reps))

inputfile.close()

How to prevent page from reloading after form submit - JQuery

The <button> element, when placed in a form, will submit the form automatically unless otherwise specified. You can use the following 2 strategies:

  1. Use <button type="button"> to override default submission behavior
  2. Use event.preventDefault() in the onSubmit event to prevent form submission

Solution 1:

  • Advantage: simple change to markup
  • Disadvantage: subverts default form behavior, especially when JS is disabled. What if the user wants to hit "enter" to submit?

Insert extra type attribute to your button markup:

<button id="button" type="button" value="send" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>

Solution 2:

  • Advantage: form will work even when JS is disabled, and respects standard form UI/UX such that at least one button is used for submission

Prevent default form submission when button is clicked. Note that this is not the ideal solution because you should be in fact listening to the submit event, not the button click event:

$(document).ready(function () {
  // Listen to click event on the submit button
  $('#button').click(function (e) {

    e.preventDefault();

    var name = $("#name").val();
    var email = $("#email").val();

    $.post("process.php", {
      name: name,
      email: email
    }).complete(function() {
        console.log("Success");
      });
  });
});

Better variant:

In this improvement, we listen to the submit event emitted from the <form> element:

$(document).ready(function () {
  // Listen to submit event on the <form> itself!
  $('#main').submit(function (e) {

    e.preventDefault();

    var name = $("#name").val();
    var email = $("#email").val();

    $.post("process.php", {
      name: name,
      email: email
    }).complete(function() {
        console.log("Success");
      });
  });
});

Even better variant: use .serialize() to serialize your form, but remember to add name attributes to your input:

The name attribute is required for .serialize() to work, as per jQuery's documentation:

For a form element's value to be included in the serialized string, the element must have a name attribute.

<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="form-control mb-2 mr-sm-2 mb-sm-0" id="inlineFormInput" placeholder="Jane Doe">
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="form-control" id="inlineFormInputGroup" placeholder="[email protected]">

And then in your JS:

$(document).ready(function () {
  // Listen to submit event on the <form> itself!
  $('#main').submit(function (e) {

    // Prevent form submission which refreshes page
    e.preventDefault();

    // Serialize data
    var formData = $(this).serialize();

    // Make AJAX request
    $.post("process.php", formData).complete(function() {
      console.log("Success");
    });
  });
});

How to build x86 and/or x64 on Windows from command line with CMAKE?

This cannot be done with CMake. You have to generate two separate build folders. One for the x86 NMake build and one for the x64 NMake build. You cannot generate a single Visual Studio project covering both architectures with CMake, either.

To build Visual Studio projects from the command line for both 32-bit and 64-bit without starting a Visual Studio command prompt, use the regular Visual Studio generators.

For CMake 3.13 or newer, run the following commands:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -S \path_to_source\ -B "build32"
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -S \path_to_source\ -B "build64"
cmake --build build32 --config Release
cmake --build build64 --config Release

For earlier versions of CMake, run the following commands:

mkdir build32 & pushd build32
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" \path_to_source\
popd
mkdir build64 & pushd build64
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" \path_to_source\
popd
cmake --build build32 --config Release
cmake --build build64 --config Release

CMake generated projects that use one of the Visual Studio generators can be built from the command line with using the option --build followed by the build directory. The --config option specifies the build configuration.

Calling Oracle stored procedure from C#?

Instead of

cmd = new OracleCommand("ProcName", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("ParName", OracleDbType.Varchar2, ParameterDirection.Input).Value = "foo";

You can also use this syntax:

cmd = new OracleCommand("BEGIN ProcName(:p0); END;", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add("ParName", OracleDbType.Varchar2, ParameterDirection.Input).Value = "foo";

Note, if you set cmd.BindByName = False (which is the default) then you have to add the parameters in the same order as they are written in your command string, the actual names are not relevant. For cmd.BindByName = True the parameter names have to match, the order does not matter.

In case of a function call the command string would be like this:

cmd = new OracleCommand("BEGIN :ret := ProcName(:ParName); END;", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

Fiddler not capturing traffic from browsers

Make sure you have Capture Traffic enabled by making sure it's checked under File.

It's sadly too easy to press F12 by mistake with Fiddler focused and disable the whole thing.

Equal sized table cells to fill the entire width of the containing table

Using table-layout: fixed as a property for table and width: calc(100%/3); for td (assuming there are 3 td's). With these two properties set, the table cells will be equal in size.

Refer to the demo.

Python - Using regex to find multiple matches and print them out

Do not use regular expressions to parse HTML.

But if you ever need to find all regexp matches in a string, use the findall function.

import re
line = 'bla bla bla<form>Form 1</form> some text...<form>Form 2</form> more text?'
matches = re.findall('<form>(.*?)</form>', line, re.DOTALL)
print(matches)

# Output: ['Form 1', 'Form 2']

Setting dropdownlist selecteditem programmatically

Assuming the list is already data bound you can simply set the SelectedValue property on your dropdown list.

list.DataSource = GetListItems(); // <-- Get your data from somewhere.
list.DataValueField = "ValueProperty";
list.DataTextField = "TextProperty";
list.DataBind();

list.SelectedValue = myValue.ToString();

The value of the myValue variable would need to exist in the property specified within the DataValueField in your controls databinding.

UPDATE: If the value of myValue doesn't exist as a value with the dropdown list options it will default to select the first option in the dropdown list.

C++ performance vs. Java/C#

Here is another intersting benchmark, which you can try yourself on your own computer.

It compares ASM, VC++, C#, Silverlight, Java applet, Javascript, Flash (AS3)

Roozz plugin speed demo

Please note that the speed of javascript varries a lot depending on what browser is executing it. The same is true for Flash and Silverlight because these plugins run in the same process as the hosting browser. But the Roozz plugin run standard .exe files, which run in their own process, thus the speed is not influenced by the hosting browser.

Android: how to make an activity return results to the activity which calls it?

In order to start an activity which should return result to the calling activity, you should do something like below. You should pass the requestcode as shown below in order to identify that you got the result from the activity you started.

startActivityForResult(new Intent(“YourFullyQualifiedClassName”),requestCode);

In the activity you can make use of setData() to return result.

Intent data = new Intent();
String text = "Result to be returned...."
//---set the data to pass back---
data.setData(Uri.parse(text));
setResult(RESULT_OK, data);
//---close the activity---
finish();

So then again in the first activity you write the below code in onActivityResult()

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == request_Code) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String returnedResult = data.getData().toString();
            // OR
            // String returnedResult = data.getDataString();
        }
    }
}

EDIT based on your comment: If you want to return three strings, then follow this by making use of key/value pairs with intent instead of using Uri.

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("streetkey","streetname");
data.putExtra("citykey","cityname");
data.putExtra("homekey","homename");
setResult(RESULT_OK,data);
finish();

Get them in onActivityResult like below:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == request_Code) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String street = data.getStringExtra("streetkey");
            String city = data.getStringExtra("citykey");
            String home = data.getStringExtra("homekey");
        }
    }
}

Configure active profile in SpringBoot via Maven

The Maven profile and the Spring profile are two completely different things. Your pom.xml defines spring.profiles.active variable which is available in the build process, but not at runtime. That is why only the default profile is activated.

How to bind Maven profile with Spring?

You need to pass the build variable to your application so that it is available when it is started.

  1. Define a placeholder in your application.properties:

    [email protected]@
    

    The @spring.profiles.active@ variable must match the declared property from the Maven profile.

  2. Enable resource filtering in you pom.xml:

    <build>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        …
    </build>
    

    When the build is executed, all files in the src/main/resources directory will be processed by Maven and the placeholder in your application.properties will be replaced with the variable you defined in your Maven profile.

For more details you can go to my post where I described this use case.

How to convert milliseconds into human readable form?

You should use the datetime functions of whatever language you're using, but, just for fun here's the code:

int milliseconds = someNumber;

int seconds = milliseconds / 1000;

int minutes = seconds / 60;

seconds %= 60;

int hours = minutes / 60;

minutes %= 60;

int days = hours / 24;

hours %= 24;

Change the name of a key in dictionary

if you want to change all the keys:

d = {'x':1, 'y':2, 'z':3}
d1 = {'x':'a', 'y':'b', 'z':'c'}

In [10]: dict((d1[key], value) for (key, value) in d.items())
Out[10]: {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

if you want to change single key: You can go with any of the above suggestion.

Correct Way to Load Assembly, Find Class and Call Run() Method

I'm doing exactly what you're looking for in my rules engine, which uses CS-Script for dynamically compiling, loading, and running C#. It should be easily translatable into what you're looking for, and I'll give an example. First, the code (stripped-down):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using CSScriptLibrary;

namespace RulesEngine
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Make sure <typeparamref name="T"/> is an interface, not just any type of class.
    /// 
    /// Should be enforced by the compiler, but just in case it's not, here's your warning.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    public class RulesEngine<T> where T : class
    {
        public RulesEngine(string rulesScriptFileName, string classToInstantiate)
            : this()
        {
            if (rulesScriptFileName == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("rulesScriptFileName");
            if (classToInstantiate == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("classToInstantiate");

            if (!File.Exists(rulesScriptFileName))
            {
                throw new FileNotFoundException("Unable to find rules script", rulesScriptFileName);
            }

            RulesScriptFileName = rulesScriptFileName;
            ClassToInstantiate = classToInstantiate;

            LoadRules();
        }

        public T @Interface;

        public string RulesScriptFileName { get; private set; }
        public string ClassToInstantiate { get; private set; }
        public DateTime RulesLastModified { get; private set; }

        private RulesEngine()
        {
            @Interface = null;
        }

        private void LoadRules()
        {
            if (!File.Exists(RulesScriptFileName))
            {
                throw new FileNotFoundException("Unable to find rules script", RulesScriptFileName);
            }

            FileInfo file = new FileInfo(RulesScriptFileName);

            DateTime lastModified = file.LastWriteTime;

            if (lastModified == RulesLastModified)
            {
                // No need to load the same rules twice.
                return;
            }

            string rulesScript = File.ReadAllText(RulesScriptFileName);

            Assembly compiledAssembly = CSScript.LoadCode(rulesScript, null, true);

            @Interface = compiledAssembly.CreateInstance(ClassToInstantiate).AlignToInterface<T>();

            RulesLastModified = lastModified;
        }
    }
}

This will take an interface of type T, compile a .cs file into an assembly, instantiate a class of a given type, and align that instantiated class to the T interface. Basically, you just have to make sure the instantiated class implements that interface. I use properties to setup and access everything, like so:

private RulesEngine<IRulesEngine> rulesEngine;

public RulesEngine<IRulesEngine> RulesEngine
{
    get
    {
        if (null == rulesEngine)
        {
            string rulesPath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Rules.cs");

            rulesEngine = new RulesEngine<IRulesEngine>(rulesPath, typeof(Rules).FullName);
        }

        return rulesEngine;
    }
}

public IRulesEngine RulesEngineInterface
{
    get { return RulesEngine.Interface; }
}

For your example, you want to call Run(), so I'd make an interface that defines the Run() method, like this:

public interface ITestRunner
{
    void Run();
}

Then make a class that implements it, like this:

public class TestRunner : ITestRunner
{
    public void Run()
    {
        // implementation goes here
    }
}

Change the name of RulesEngine to something like TestHarness, and set your properties:

private TestHarness<ITestRunner> testHarness;

public TestHarness<ITestRunner> TestHarness
{
    get
    {
        if (null == testHarness)
        {
            string sourcePath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "TestRunner.cs");

            testHarness = new TestHarness<ITestRunner>(sourcePath , typeof(TestRunner).FullName);
        }

        return testHarness;
    }
}

public ITestRunner TestHarnessInterface
{
    get { return TestHarness.Interface; }
}

Then, anywhere you want to call it, you can just run:

ITestRunner testRunner = TestHarnessInterface;

if (null != testRunner)
{
    testRunner.Run();
}

It would probably work great for a plugin system, but my code as-is is limited to loading and running one file, since all of our rules are in one C# source file. I would think it'd be pretty easy to modify it to just pass in the type/source file for each one you wanted to run, though. You'd just have to move the code from the getter into a method that took those two parameters.

Also, use your IRunnable in place of ITestRunner.

Plotting dates on the x-axis with Python's matplotlib

As @KyssTao has been saying, help(dates.num2date) says that the x has to be a float giving the number of days since 0001-01-01 plus one. Hence, 19910102 is not 2/Jan/1991, because if you counted 19910101 days from 0001-01-01 you'd get something in the year 54513 or similar (divide by 365.25, number of days in a year).

Use datestr2num instead (see help(dates.datestr2num)):

new_x = dates.datestr2num(date) # where date is '01/02/1991'

Call js-function using JQuery timer

jQuery 1.4 also includes a .delay( duration, [ queueName ] ) method if you only need it to trigger once and have already started using that version.

$('#foo').slideUp(300).delay(800).fadeIn(400);

http://api.jquery.com/delay/

Ooops....my mistake you were looking for an event to continue triggering. I'll leave this here, someone may find it helpful.

What to return if Spring MVC controller method doesn't return value?

Here is example code what I did for an asynchronous method

@RequestMapping(value = "/import", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.OK)
public void importDataFromFile(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) 
{
    accountingSystemHandler.importData(file, assignChargeCodes);
}

You do not need to return any thing from your method all you need to use this annotation so that your method should return OK in every case

@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.OK)

set background color: Android

By the way, a good tip on quickly selecting color on the newer versions of AS is simply to type #fff and then using the color picker on the side of the code to choose the one you want. Quick and easier than remembering all the color hexadecimals. For example:

android:background="#fff"

Laravel Request getting current path with query string

Similar to Yada's answer: $request->url() will also work if you are injecting Illuminate\Http\Request

Edit: The difference between fullUrl and url is the fullUrl includes your query parameters

No authenticationScheme was specified, and there was no DefaultChallengeScheme found with default authentification and custom authorization

Many answer above are correct but same time convoluted with other aspects of authN/authZ. What actually resolves the exception in question is this line:

services.AddScheme<YourAuthenticationOptions, YourAuthenticationHandler>(YourAuthenticationSchemeName, options =>
    {
        options.YourProperty = yourValue;
    })

EDIT: And if indeed you need to maintain nm as factors, add this in the end:

junk$nm <- as.factor(junk$nm)

Where is the itoa function in Linux?

direct copy to buffer : 64 bit integer itoa hex :

    char* itoah(long num, char* s, int len)
    {
            long n, m = 16;
            int i = 16+2;
            int shift = 'a'- ('9'+1);


            if(!s || len < 1)
                    return 0;

            n = num < 0 ? -1 : 1;
            n = n * num;

            len = len > i ? i : len;
            i = len < i ? len : i;

            s[i-1] = 0;
            i--;

            if(!num)
            {
                    if(len < 2)
                            return &s[i];

                    s[i-1]='0';
                    return &s[i-1];
            }

            while(i && n)
            {
                    s[i-1] = n % m + '0';

                    if (s[i-1] > '9')
                            s[i-1] += shift ;

                    n = n/m;
                    i--;
            }

            if(num < 0)
            {
                    if(i)
                    {
                            s[i-1] = '-';
                            i--;
                    }
            }

            return &s[i];
    }

note: change long to long long for 32 bit machine. long to int in case for 32 bit integer. m is the radix. When decreasing radix, increase number of characters (variable i). When increasing radix, decrease number of characters (better). In case of unsigned data type, i just becomes 16 + 1.

LEFT function in Oracle

There is no documented LEFT() function in Oracle. Find the full set here.

Probably what you have is a user-defined function. You can check that easily enough by querying the data dictionary:

select * from all_objects
where object_name = 'LEFT'

But there is the question of why the stored procedure works and the query doesn't. One possible solution is that the stored procedure is owned by another schema, which also owns the LEFT() function. They have granted rights on the procedure but not its dependencies. This works because stored procedures run with DEFINER privileges by default, so you run the stored procedure as if you were its owner.

If this is so then the data dictionary query I listed above won't help you: it will only return rows for objects you have rights on. In which case you will need to run the query as the stored procedure's owner or connect as a user with the rights to query DBA_OBJECTS instead.

What do pty and tty mean?

"tty" originally meant "teletype" and "pty" means "pseudo-teletype".

In UNIX, /dev/tty* is any device that acts like a "teletype", ie, a terminal. (Called teletype because that's what we had for terminals in those benighted days.)

A pty is a pseudotty, a device entry that acts like a terminal to the process reading and writing there, but is managed by something else. They first appeared (as I recall) for X Window and screen and the like, where you needed something that acted like a terminal but could be used from another program.

What is the difference between HTTP and REST?

REST is not necessarily tied to HTTP. RESTful web services are just web services that follow a RESTful architecture.

What is Rest -
1- Client-server
2- Stateless
3- Cacheable
4- Layered system
5- Code on demand
6- Uniform interface

Disable F5 and browser refresh using JavaScript

This is the code I'm using to disable refresh on IE and firefox which works for the following key combinations:

F5   |   Ctrl + F5   |   Ctrl + R

//this code handles the F5/Ctrl+F5/Ctrl+R
document.onkeydown = checkKeycode
function checkKeycode(e) {
    var keycode;
    if (window.event)
        keycode = window.event.keyCode;
    else if (e)
        keycode = e.which;
                
    // Mozilla firefox
    if ($.browser.mozilla) {
        if (keycode == 116 ||(e.ctrlKey && keycode == 82)) {
            if (e.preventDefault)
            {
                e.preventDefault();
                e.stopPropagation();
            }
        }
    } 
    // IE
    else if ($.browser.msie) {
        if (keycode == 116 || (window.event.ctrlKey && keycode == 82)) {
            window.event.returnValue = false;
            window.event.keyCode = 0;
            window.status = "Refresh is disabled";
        }
    }
}

If you don't want to use useragent to detect what type of browser it is ($.browser uses navigator.userAgent to determine the platform), you can use

if('MozBoxSizing' in document.documentElement.style) which returns true for firefox

End of File (EOF) in C

EOF indicates "end of file". A newline (which is what happens when you press enter) isn't the end of a file, it's the end of a line, so a newline doesn't terminate this loop.

The code isn't wrong[*], it just doesn't do what you seem to expect. It reads to the end of the input, but you seem to want to read only to the end of a line.

The value of EOF is -1 because it has to be different from any return value from getchar that is an actual character. So getchar returns any character value as an unsigned char, converted to int, which will therefore be non-negative.

If you're typing at the terminal and you want to provoke an end-of-file, use CTRL-D (unix-style systems) or CTRL-Z (Windows). Then after all the input has been read, getchar() will return EOF, and hence getchar() != EOF will be false, and the loop will terminate.

[*] well, it has undefined behavior if the input is more than LONG_MAX characters due to integer overflow, but we can probably forgive that in a simple example.

Checking character length in ruby

Instead of using a regular expression, just check if string.length > 25

Change default icon

Run it not through Visual Studio - then the icon should look just fine.

I believe it is because when you debug, Visual Studio runs <yourapp>.vshost.exe and not your application. The .vshost.exe file doesn't use your icon.

Ultimately, what you have done is correct.

  1. Go to the Project properties
  2. under Application tab change the default icon to your own
  3. Build the project
  4. Locate the .exe file in your favorite file explorer.

There, the icon should look fine. If you run it by clicking that .exe the icon should be correct in the application as well.

Installing Git on Eclipse

You didn't mention which version of Eclipse you are using, but others have already posted good answers for modern versions of Eclipse. Unfortunately one of my legacy projects requires Eclipse Europa; the old EGit project homepage states the following:

The plugin only works on Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) or newer. Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) is not supported anymore. Since the plugin is still very much work-in-progress we want to take advantage of new platforms features to facilitate progress.

So I guess I'm SOL - back to the graphical GitHub client for me! Lucky it's a legacy project.

How to edit .csproj file

Here is my option to Edit the project file without the need to Unload the project:

  1. Open Solution Explorer and switch to folder view: enter image description here

  2. Navigate to the Project which you want to edit inside the Solution folders and right-click on it.

  3. Choose Open from the Context Menu. enter image description here

That is it!

You will see the *.csproj file opened inside Visual Studio Editor.
After you can switch back to a Solution/Project view (see step 1).

How to set ssh timeout?

ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10  <hostName>

Where 10 is time in seconds. This Timeout applies only to the creation of the connection.

Selection with .loc in python

pd.DataFrame.loc can take one or two indexers. For the rest of the post, I'll represent the first indexer as i and the second indexer as j.

If only one indexer is provided, it applies to the index of the dataframe and the missing indexer is assumed to represent all columns. So the following two examples are equivalent.

  1. df.loc[i]
  2. df.loc[i, :]

Where : is used to represent all columns.

If both indexers are present, i references index values and j references column values.


Now we can focus on what types of values i and j can assume. Let's use the following dataframe df as our example:

    df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], index=['A', 'B'], columns=['X', 'Y'])

loc has been written such that i and j can be

  1. scalars that should be values in the respective index objects

    df.loc['A', 'Y']
    
    2
    
  2. arrays whose elements are also members of the respective index object (notice that the order of the array I pass to loc is respected

    df.loc[['B', 'A'], 'X']
    
    B    3
    A    1
    Name: X, dtype: int64
    
    • Notice the dimensionality of the return object when passing arrays. i is an array as it was above, loc returns an object in which an index with those values is returned. In this case, because j was a scalar, loc returned a pd.Series object. We could've manipulated this to return a dataframe if we passed an array for i and j, and the array could've have just been a single value'd array.

      df.loc[['B', 'A'], ['X']]
      
         X
      B  3
      A  1
      
  3. boolean arrays whose elements are True or False and whose length matches the length of the respective index. In this case, loc simply grabs the rows (or columns) in which the boolean array is True.

    df.loc[[True, False], ['X']]
    
       X
    A  1
    

In addition to what indexers you can pass to loc, it also enables you to make assignments. Now we can break down the line of code you provided.

iris_data.loc[iris_data['class'] == 'versicolor', 'class'] = 'Iris-versicolor'
  1. iris_data['class'] == 'versicolor' returns a boolean array.
  2. class is a scalar that represents a value in the columns object.
  3. iris_data.loc[iris_data['class'] == 'versicolor', 'class'] returns a pd.Series object consisting of the 'class' column for all rows where 'class' is 'versicolor'
  4. When used with an assignment operator:

    iris_data.loc[iris_data['class'] == 'versicolor', 'class'] = 'Iris-versicolor'
    

    We assign 'Iris-versicolor' for all elements in column 'class' where 'class' was 'versicolor'

What's the best way to convert a number to a string in JavaScript?

Tongue-in-cheek obviously:

var harshNum = 108;
"".split.call(harshNum,"").join("");

Or in ES6 you could simply use template strings:

var harshNum = 108;
`${harshNum}`;

I had similar issue and no errors shown in Compilation. I have tried to clean and rebuild without any success. I managed to find the issue by using Invalidate Caches/Restart from file Menu, after the restart I managed to see the compilation error.

Checking Date format from a string in C#

I think one of the solutions is to use DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.TryParseExact

DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, format, provider);

Modular multiplicative inverse function in Python

Many of the links above are broken as for 1/23/2017. I found this implementation: https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.857/2016/files/ffield.py

oracle varchar to number

You have to use the TO_NUMBER function:

select * from exception where exception_value = to_number('105')

Sleep function Visual Basic

Since you are asking about .NET, you should change the parameter from Long to Integer. .NET's Integer is 32-bit. (Classic VB's integer was only 16-bit.)

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal Milliseconds As Integer)

Really though, the managed method isn't difficult...

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(5000)

Be careful when you do this. In a forms application, you block the message pump and what not, making your program to appear to have hanged. Rarely is sleep a good idea.

difference between width auto and width 100 percent

Width auto

The initial width of a block level element like div or p is auto. This makes it expand to occupy all available horizontal space within its containing block. If it has any horizontal padding or border, the widths of those do not add to the total width of the element.

Width 100%

On the other hand, if you specify width:100%, the element’s total width will be 100% of its containing block plus any horizontal margin, padding and border (unless you’ve used box-sizing:border-box, in which case only margins are added to the 100% to change how its total width is calculated). This may be what you want, but most likely it isn’t.

To visualise the difference see this picture:

vbscript output to console

This was found on Dragon-IT Scripts and Code Repository.

You can do this with the following and stay away from the cscript/wscript differences and allows you to get the same console output that a batch file would have. This can help if your calling VBS from a batch file and need to make it look seamless.

Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set stdout = fso.GetStandardStream (1)
Set stderr = fso.GetStandardStream (2)
stdout.WriteLine "This will go to standard output."
stderr.WriteLine "This will go to error output."

Can I add an image to an ASP.NET button?

Although you can "replace" a button with an image using the following CSS...

.className {
   background: url(http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png) no-repeat 0 0;
   border: 0;
   height: 61px;
   width: 250px
}

...the best thing to do here is use an ImageButton control because it will allow you to use alternate text (for accessibility).

How to increase buffer size in Oracle SQL Developer to view all records?

After you fetch the first 50 rows in the query windows, simply click on any column to get focus on the query window, then once selected do ctrl + end key

This will load the full result set (all rows)
