Programs & Examples On #Freetext

FREETEXT is an SQL text-search predicate that uses stemming (e.g. -ing, -ly) and a thesaurus to search for the given string.

how to create and call scalar function in sql server 2008

Your Call works if it were a Table Valued Function. Since its a scalar function, you need to call it like:

SELECT dbo.fn_HomePageSlider(9, 3025) AS MyResult

Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view because it is not full-text indexed

There is one more solution to set column Full text to true.

These solution for example didn't work for me

ALTER TABLE news ADD FULLTEXT(headline, story);

My solution.

  1. Right click on table
  2. Design
  3. Right Click on column which you want to edit
  4. Full text index
  5. Add
  6. Close
  7. Refresh

NEXT STEPS

  1. Right click on table
  2. Design
  3. Click on column which you want to edit
  4. On bottom of mssql you there will be tab "Column properties"
  5. Full-text Specification -> (Is Full-text Indexed) set to true.

How to create timer events using C++ 11?

The asynchronous solution from Edward:

  • create new thread
  • sleep in that thread
  • do the task in that thread

is simple and might just work for you.

I would also like to give a more advanced version which has these advantages:

  • no thread startup overhead
  • only a single extra thread per process required to handle all timed tasks

This might be in particular useful in large software projects where you have many task executed repetitively in your process and you care about resource usage (threads) and also startup overhead.

Idea: Have one service thread which processes all registered timed tasks. Use boost io_service for that.

Code similar to: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tuttimer2/src.html

#include <cstdio>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

int main()
{
  boost::asio::io_service io;

  boost::asio::deadline_timer t(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(1));
  t.async_wait([](const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/){
    printf("Printed after 1s\n"); });

  boost::asio::deadline_timer t2(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(1));
  t2.async_wait([](const boost::system::error_code& /*e*/){
    printf("Printed after 1s\n"); });

  // both prints happen at the same time,
  // but only a single thread is used to handle both timed tasks
  // - namely the main thread calling io.run();

  io.run();

  return 0;
}

Finding height in Binary Search Tree

This is untested, but fairly obviously correct:

private int findHeight(Treenode<T> aNode) {
  if (aNode.left == null && aNode.right == null) {
    return 0; // was 1; apparently a node with no children has a height of 0.
  } else if (aNode.left == null) {
    return 1 + findHeight(aNode.right);
  } else if (aNode.right == null) {
    return 1 + findHeight(aNode.left);
  } else {
    return 1 + max(findHeight(aNode.left), findHeight(aNode.right));
  }
}

Often simplifying your code is easier than figuring out why it's off by one. This code is easy to understand: the four possible cases are clearly handled in an obviously correct manner:

  • If both the left and right trees are null, return 0, since a single node by definition has a height of 0. (was 1)
  • If either the left or right trees (but not both!) are null, return the height of the non-null tree, plus 1 to account for the added height of the current node.
  • If neither tree is null, return the height of the taller subtree, again plus one for the current node.

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date

  • Your formatting pattern fails to match the input string, as noted by other Answers.
  • Your input format is terrible.
  • You are using troublesome old date-time classes that were supplanted years ago by the java.time classes.

ISO 8601

Instead a format such as yours, use ISO 8601 standard formats for exchanging date-time values as text.

The java.time classes use the standard ISO 8601 formats by default when parsing/generating strings.

Proper time zone name

Specify a proper time zone name in the format of continent/region, such as America/Montreal, Africa/Casablanca, or Pacific/Auckland. Never use the 3-4 letter abbreviation such as EST or IST as they are not true time zones, not standardized, and not even unique(!).

Your IST could mean Iceland Standard Time, India Standard Time, Ireland Standard Time, or others. The java.time classes are left to merely guessing, as there is no logical solution to this ambiguity.

java.time

The modern approach uses the java.time classes.

Define a formatting pattern to match your input strings.

String input = "Sat Jun 01 12:53:10 IST 2013";
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z uuuu" , Locale.US );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse( input , f );

zdt.toString(): 2013-06-01T12:53:10Z[Atlantic/Reykjavik]

If your input was not intended for Iceland, you should pre-parse the string to adjust to a proper time zone name. For example, if you are certain the input was intended for India, change IST to Asia/Kolkata.

String input = "Sat Jun 01 12:53:10 IST 2013".replace( "IST" , "Asia/Kolkata" );
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z uuuu" , Locale.US );
ZonedDateTime zdt = ZonedDateTime.parse( input , f );

zdt.toString(): 2013-06-01T12:53:10+05:30[Asia/Kolkata]


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

What is Android keystore file, and what is it used for?

The whole idea of a keytool is to sign your apk with a unique identifier indicating the source of that apk. A keystore file (from what I understand) is used for debuging so your apk has the functionality of a keytool without signing your apk for production. So yes, for debugging purposes you should be able to sign multiple apk's with a single keystore. But understand that, upon pushing to production you'll need unique keytools as identifiers for each apk you create.

How do I configure php to enable pdo and include mysqli on CentOS?

Adding System.Web.Script reference in class library

The ScriptIgnoreAttribute class is in the System.Web.Extensions.dll assembly (Located under Assemblies > Framework in the VS Reference Manager). You have to add a reference to that assembly in your class library project.

You can find this information at top of the MSDN page for the ScriptIgnoreAttribute class.

ActiveXObject is not defined and can't find variable: ActiveXObject

A web app can request access to a sandboxed file system by calling window.requestFileSystem(). Works in Chrome.

window.requestFileSystem = window.requestFileSystem || window.webkitRequestFileSystem;
var fs = null;

window.requestFileSystem(window.TEMPORARY, 1024 * 1024, function (filesystem) {
    fs = filesystem;
}, errorHandler);

fs.root.getFile('Hello.txt', {
    create: true
}, null, errorHandler);

function errorHandler(e) {
  var msg = '';

  switch (e.code) {
    case FileError.QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR:
      msg = 'QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR';
      break;
    case FileError.NOT_FOUND_ERR:
      msg = 'NOT_FOUND_ERR';
      break;
    case FileError.SECURITY_ERR:
      msg = 'SECURITY_ERR';
      break;
    case FileError.INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR:
      msg = 'INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR';
      break;
    case FileError.INVALID_STATE_ERR:
      msg = 'INVALID_STATE_ERR';
      break;
    default:
      msg = 'Unknown Error';
      break;
  };

  console.log('Error: ' + msg);

Get all files and directories in specific path fast

I know this is old, but... Another option may be to use the FileSystemWatcher like so:

void SomeMethod()
{
    System.IO.FileSystemWatcher m_Watcher = new System.IO.FileSystemWatcher();
    m_Watcher.Path = path;
    m_Watcher.Filter = "*.*";
    m_Watcher.NotifyFilter = m_Watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
    m_Watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
    m_Watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}

private void OnChanged(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
    {
        string path = e.FullPath;

        lock (listLock)
        {
            pathsToUpload.Add(path);
        }
    }

This would allow you to watch the directories for file changes with an extremely lightweight process, that you could then use to store the names of the files that changed so that you could back them up at the appropriate time.

How to output only captured groups with sed?

Give up and use Perl

Since sed does not cut it, let's just throw the towel and use Perl, at least it is LSB while grep GNU extensions are not :-)

  • Print the entire matching part, no matching groups or lookbehind needed:

    cat <<EOS | perl -lane 'print m/\d+/g'
    a1 b2
    a34 b56
    EOS
    

    Output:

    12
    3456
    
  • Single match per line, often structured data fields:

    cat <<EOS | perl -lape 's/.*?a(\d+).*/$1/g'
    a1 b2
    a34 b56
    EOS
    

    Output:

    1
    34
    

    With lookbehind:

    cat <<EOS | perl -lane 'print m/(?<=a)(\d+)/'
    a1 b2
    a34 b56
    EOS
    
  • Multiple fields:

    cat <<EOS | perl -lape 's/.*?a(\d+).*?b(\d+).*/$1 $2/g'
    a1 c0 b2 c0
    a34 c0 b56 c0
    EOS
    

    Output:

    1 2
    34 56
    
  • Multiple matches per line, often unstructured data:

    cat <<EOS | perl -lape 's/.*?a(\d+)|.*/$1 /g'
    a1 b2
    a34 b56 a78 b90
    EOS
    

    Output:

    1 
    34 78
    

    With lookbehind:

    cat EOS<< | perl -lane 'print m/(?<=a)(\d+)/g'
    a1 b2
    a34 b56 a78 b90
    EOS
    

    Output:

    1
    3478
    

Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<>

Because it's not.

Indexing is covered by IList. IEnumerable means "I have some of the powers of IList, but not all of them."

Some collections (like a linked list), cannot be indexed in a practical way. But they can be accessed item-by-item. IEnumerable is intended for collections like that. Note that a collection can implement both IList & IEnumerable (and many others). You generally only find IEnumerable as a function parameter, meaning the function can accept any kind of collection, because all it needs is the simplest access mode.

MySQL set current date in a DATETIME field on insert

Since MySQL 5.6.X you can do this:

ALTER TABLE `schema`.`users` 
CHANGE COLUMN `created` `created` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ;

That way your column will be updated with the current timestamp when a new row is inserted, or updated.

If you're using MySQL Workbench, you can just put CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in the DEFAULT value field, like so:

enter image description here

Can I set state inside a useEffect hook

Generally speaking, using setState inside useEffect will create an infinite loop that most likely you don't want to cause. There are a couple of exceptions to that rule which I will get into later.

useEffect is called after each render and when setState is used inside of it, it will cause the component to re-render which will call useEffect and so on and so on.

One of the popular cases that using useState inside of useEffect will not cause an infinite loop is when you pass an empty array as a second argument to useEffect like useEffect(() => {....}, []) which means that the effect function should be called once: after the first mount/render only. This is used widely when you're doing data fetching in a component and you want to save the request data in the component's state.

Jar mismatch! Fix your dependencies

Use a Library Project just for the Support Library

As of ADT 22, using Eclipse Juno

I don't think any of the above are really the best answers. I also don't think it is recommended to use the external jar function in Eclipse anymore (AFAIK).

Rather, what worked for me is to create a separate empty library project.

Then use Android tools > Add Support Library to get the latest version you need or want.

Then remove the support lib jar from all other projects.

Finally, for every project that requires it, add a reference to your new Library project

(project properties) > Android > (Library box) > Add...

Then all your projects will have a single source to use and update the support library. This also makes javadocs easier to get working.

For info on how to setup the javadocs see:

How to parse SOAP XML?

First, we need to filter the XML so as to parse that into an object

$response = strtr($xml_string, ['</soap:' => '</', '<soap:' => '<']);
$output = json_decode(json_encode(simplexml_load_string($response)));
var_dump($output->Body->PaymentNotification->payment);

Netbeans 8.0.2 The module has not been deployed

Maybe because you may need to create Db Resource and Pool manually on the Glassfish server like this,

In Netbeans -> Projects, Open Server Resources -> glassfish-resources.xml We have to create JDBC Resource and JDBC Connection Pool Manually on Glassfish. I am using my values here, don't use them, see your .xml !

Value of jndi-name is your JDBC Resource and Value of pool-name is your JDBC Connection Pool.

Open Browser for Glassfish Admin, https://localhost:4848/

Go to, JDBC Connection Pool -> New: 1) Pool Name: mysql_customersdb_rootPool 2) Resource Type: javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource 3) Database Driver Vendor: MySql

Press Next,

URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/customersdb?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull Url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/customersdb?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull User: root Password: root

JDBC Resources -> New

JNDI Name: CustomersDS Pool Name: mysql_customersdb_rootPool

Press Ok.

Right Click your Project and Press Run :)

Waiting till the async task finish its work

I think the easiest way is to create an interface to get the data from onpostexecute and run the Ui from interface :

Create an Interface :

public interface AsyncResponse {
    void processFinish(String output);
}

Then in asynctask

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String data) {
    delegate.processFinish(data);
}

Then in yout main activity

@Override
public void processFinish(String data) {
     // do things

}

How does PHP 'foreach' actually work?

NOTE FOR PHP 7

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

Explanation (quote from php.net):

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

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

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

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

Test case

If you run this:

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

You will get this output:

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

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

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

You will get:

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

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

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

Write string to output stream

Streams (InputStream and OutputStream) transfer binary data. If you want to write a string to a stream, you must first convert it to bytes, or in other words encode it. You can do that manually (as you suggest) using the String.getBytes(Charset) method, but you should avoid the String.getBytes() method, because that uses the default encoding of the JVM, which can't be reliably predicted in a portable way.

The usual way to write character data to a stream, though, is to wrap the stream in a Writer, (often a PrintWriter), that does the conversion for you when you call its write(String) (or print(String)) method. The corresponding wrapper for InputStreams is a Reader.

PrintStream is a special OutputStream implementation in the sense that it also contain methods that automatically encode strings (it uses a writer internally). But it is still a stream. You can safely wrap your stream with a writer no matter if it is a PrintStream or some other stream implementation. There is no danger of double encoding.

Example of PrintWriter with OutputStream:

try (PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("output-text.txt", true))) {
    p.println("Hello");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
}

Android AudioRecord example

Here I am posting you the some code example which record good quality of sound using AudioRecord API.

Double precision floating values in Python?

For some applications you can use Fraction instead of floating-point numbers.

>>> from fractions import Fraction
>>> Fraction(1, 3**54)
Fraction(1, 58149737003040059690390169)

(For other applications, there's decimal, as suggested out by the other responses.)

How to run multiple DOS commands in parallel?

I suggest you to see "How do I run a bat file in the background from another bat file?"

Also, good answer (of using start command) was given in "Parallel execution of shell processes" question page here;

But my recommendation is to use PowerShell. I believe it will perfectly suit your needs.

Creating a left-arrow button (like UINavigationBar's "back" style) on a UIToolbar

I had a similar problem, and come out one library PButton. And the sample is the back navigation button like button, which can be used anywhere just like a customized button.

How can I convert bigint (UNIX timestamp) to datetime in SQL Server?

Adding n seconds to 1970-01-01 will give you a UTC date because n, the Unix timestamp, is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970.

In SQL Server 2016, you can convert one time zone to another using AT TIME ZONE. You just need to know the name of the time zone in Windows standard format:

SELECT *
FROM (VALUES (1514808000), (1527854400)) AS Tests(UnixTimestamp)
CROSS APPLY (SELECT DATEADD(SECOND, UnixTimestamp, '1970-01-01') AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') AS CA1(UTCDate)
CROSS APPLY (SELECT UTCDate AT TIME ZONE 'Pacific Standard Time') AS CA2(LocalDate)
| UnixTimestamp | UTCDate                    | LocalDate                  |
|---------------|----------------------------|----------------------------|
| 1514808000    | 2018-01-01 12:00:00 +00:00 | 2018-01-01 04:00:00 -08:00 |
| 1527854400    | 2018-06-01 12:00:00 +00:00 | 2018-06-01 05:00:00 -07:00 |

Or simply:

SELECT *, DATEADD(SECOND, UnixTimestamp, '1970-01-01') AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Pacific Standard Time'
FROM (VALUES (1514808000), (1527854400)) AS Tests(UnixTimestamp)
| UnixTimestamp | LocalDate                  |
|---------------|----------------------------|
| 1514808000    | 2018-01-01 04:00:00 -08:00 |
| 1527854400    | 2018-06-01 05:00:00 -07:00 |

Notes:

  • You can chop off the timezone information by casting DATETIMEOFFSET to DATETIME.
  • The conversion takes daylight savings time into account. Pacific time was UTC-08:00 on January 2018 and UTC-07:00 on Jun 2018.

How do I make Java register a string input with spaces?

Since it's a long time and people keep suggesting to use Scanner#nextLine(), there's another chance that Scanner can take spaces included in input.

Class Scanner

A Scanner breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern, which by default matches whitespace.

You can use Scanner#useDelimiter() to change the delimiter of Scanner to another pattern such as a line feed or something else.

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
in.useDelimiter("\n"); // use LF as the delimiter
String question;

System.out.println("Please input question:");
question = in.next();

// TODO do something with your input such as removing spaces...

if (question.equalsIgnoreCase("howdoyoulikeschool?") )
    /* it seems strings do not allow for spaces */
    System.out.println("CLOSED!!");
else
    System.out.println("Que?");

How to connect android emulator to the internet

Environment: Windows 7 64 bit

In my case, I had to run emulator in verbose mode (emulator -verbose -avd Nexus_6_API_25) to findout the fact that emulator detected two DNS servers, as shown below.

emulator: Found 2 DNS servers: 192.168.3.227 192.168.1.1

Out of the two DNS servers detected, only one has internet connection and it was the reason why emulator didn't get internet access.

To successfully connect android emulator to the internet, the DNS server which doesn't have the internet connection had to be disabled from the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Java resource as file

A reliable way to construct a File instance on a resource retrieved from a jar is it to copy the resource as a stream into a temporary File (the temp file will be deleted when the JVM exits):

public static File getResourceAsFile(String resourcePath) {
    try {
        InputStream in = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resourcePath);
        if (in == null) {
            return null;
        }

        File tempFile = File.createTempFile(String.valueOf(in.hashCode()), ".tmp");
        tempFile.deleteOnExit();

        try (FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile)) {
            //copy stream
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int bytesRead;
            while ((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
            }
        }
        return tempFile;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}

CSS Div width percentage and padding without breaking layout

You can also use the CSS calc() function to subtract the width of your padding from the percentage of your container's width.

An example:

width: calc((100%) - (32px))

Just be sure to make the subtracted width equal to the total padding, not just one half. If you pad both sides of the inner div with 16px, then you should subtract 32px from the final width, assuming that the example below is what you want to achieve.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.outer {_x000D_
  width: 200px;_x000D_
  height: 120px;_x000D_
  background-color: black;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.inner {_x000D_
  height: 40px;_x000D_
  top: 30px;_x000D_
  position: relative;_x000D_
  padding: 16px;_x000D_
  background-color: teal;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#inner-1 {_x000D_
  width: 100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
#inner-2 {_x000D_
  width: calc((100%) - (32px));_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="outer" id="outer-1">_x000D_
  <div class="inner" id="inner-1"> width of 100% </div>_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div class="outer" id="outer-2">_x000D_
  <div class="inner" id="inner-2"> width of 100% - 16px </div>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_

Angular (4, 5, 6, 7) - Simple example of slide in out animation on ngIf

Actually the minimum amount of Angular to be used (as requested in the original question) is just adding a class to the DOM element when show variable is true, and perform the animation/transition via CSS.

So your minimum Angular code is this:

<div class="box-opener" (click)="show = !show">
    Open/close the box
</div>

<div class="box" [class.opened]="show">
    <!-- Content -->
</div>

With this solution, you need to create CSS rules for the transition, something like this:

.box {
    background-color: #FFCC55;
    max-height: 0px;
    overflow-y: hidden;
    transition: ease-in-out 400ms max-height;
}

.box.opened {
    max-height: 500px;
    transition: ease-in-out 600ms max-height;
}

If you have retro-browser-compatibility issues, just remember to add the vendor prefixes in the transitions.

See the example here

subquery in codeigniter active record

The functions _compile_select() and _reset_select() are deprecated.
Instead use get_compiled_select():

#Create where clause
$this->db->select('id_cer');
$this->db->from('revokace');
$where_clause = $this->db->get_compiled_select();

#Create main query
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('certs');
$this->db->where("`id` NOT IN ($where_clause)", NULL, FALSE);

EF LINQ include multiple and nested entities

Include is a part of fluent interface, so you can write multiple Include statements each following other

 db.Courses.Include(i => i.Modules.Select(s => s.Chapters))
           .Include(i => i.Lab)
           .Single(x => x.Id == id); 

Show DataFrame as table in iPython Notebook

This answer is based on the 2nd tip from this blog post: 28 Jupyter Notebook tips, tricks and shortcuts

You can add the following code to the top of your notebook

from IPython.core.interactiveshell import InteractiveShell
InteractiveShell.ast_node_interactivity = "all"

This tells Jupyter to print the results for any variable or statement on it’s own line. So you can then execute a cell solely containing

df1
df2

and it will "print out the beautiful tables for both datasets".

What does /p mean in set /p?

For future reference, you can get help for any command by using the /? switch, which should explain what switches do what.

According to the set /? screen, the format for set /p is SET /P variable=[promptString] which would indicate that the p in /p is "prompt." It just prints in your example because <nul passes in a nul character which immediately ends the prompt so it just acts like it's printing. It's still technically prompting for input, it's just immediately receiving it.

/L in for /L generates a List of numbers.

From ping /?:

Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
            [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
            [-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
    -t             Ping the specified host until stopped.
                   To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
                   To stop - type Control-C.
    -a             Resolve addresses to hostnames.
    -n count       Number of echo requests to send.
    -l size        Send buffer size.
    -f             Set Don't Fragment flag in packet (IPv4-only).
    -i TTL         Time To Live.
    -v TOS         Type Of Service (IPv4-only. This setting has been deprecated
                   and has no effect on the type of service field in the IP Header).
    -r count       Record route for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -s count       Timestamp for count hops (IPv4-only).
    -j host-list   Loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -k host-list   Strict source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
    -w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
    -R             Use routing header to test reverse route also (IPv6-only).
    -S srcaddr     Source address to use.
    -4             Force using IPv4.
    -6             Force using IPv6.

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' when writing to a file in Python3

You opened the file in binary mode:

with open(fname, 'rb') as f:

This means that all data read from the file is returned as bytes objects, not str. You cannot then use a string in a containment test:

if 'some-pattern' in tmp: continue

You'd have to use a bytes object to test against tmp instead:

if b'some-pattern' in tmp: continue

or open the file as a textfile instead by replacing the 'rb' mode with 'r'.

How do I find files that do not contain a given string pattern?

If you are using git, this searches all of the tracked files:

git grep -L "foo"

and you can search in a subset of tracked files if you have ** subdirectory globbing turned on (shopt -s globstar in .bashrc, see this):

git grep -L "foo" -- **/*.cpp

Host 'xxx.xx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Well what you can do is just open mysql.cfg file and you have to change Bind-address to this

and then Restart mysql and you will able to connect that server to this.

Look this you can have idea form that.

How to set up a Web API controller for multipart/form-data

Here's another answer for the ASP.Net Core solution to this problem...

On the Angular side, I took this code example...

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-drag-n-drop-directive

... and modified it to call an HTTP Post endpoint:

  prepareFilesList(files: Array<any>) {

    const formData = new FormData();
    for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { 
      formData.append("file[]", files[i]);
    }

    let URL = "https://localhost:44353/api/Users";
    this.http.post(URL, formData).subscribe(
      data => { console.log(data); },
      error => { console.log(error); }
    );

With this in place, here's the code I needed in the ASP.Net Core WebAPI controller:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Post()
{
  try
  {
    var files = Request.Form.Files;

    foreach (IFormFile file in files)
    {
        if (file.Length == 0)
            continue;
        
        string tempFilename = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), file.FileName);
        System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine($"Saved file to: {tempFilename}");

        using (var fileStream = new FileStream(tempFilename, FileMode.Create))
        {
            file.CopyTo(fileStream);
        }
    }
    return new OkObjectResult("Yes");
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    return new BadRequestObjectResult(ex.Message);
  }
}

Shockingly simple, but I had to piece together examples from several (almost-correct) sources to get this to work properly.

Switching between GCC and Clang/LLVM using CMake

You can use the syntax: $ENV{environment-variable} in your CMakeLists.txt to access environment variables. You could create scripts which initialize a set of environment variables appropriately and just have references to those variables in your CMakeLists.txt files.

Recursive Lock (Mutex) vs Non-Recursive Lock (Mutex)

The right mental model for using mutexes: The mutex protects an invariant.

Why are you sure that this is really right mental model for using mutexes? I think right model is protecting data but not invariants.

The problem of protecting invariants presents even in single-threaded applications and has nothing common with multi-threading and mutexes.

Furthermore, if you need to protect invariants, you still may use binary semaphore wich is never recursive.

Check if a key is down?

I know this is very old question, however there is a very lightweight (~.5Kb) JavaScript library that effectively "patches" the inconsistent firing of keyboard event handlers when using the DOM API.

The library is Keydrown.

Here's the operative code sample that has worked well for my purposes by just changing the key on which to set the listener:

kd.P.down(function () {
  console.log('The "P" key is being held down!');
});

kd.P.up(function () {
  console.clear();
});

// This update loop is the heartbeat of Keydrown
kd.run(function () {
  kd.tick();
});

I've incorporated Keydrown into my client-side JavaScript for a proper pause animation in a Red Light Green Light game I'm writing. You can view the entire game here. (Note: If you're reading this in the future, the game should be code complete and playable :-D!)

I hope this helps.

How to save password when using Subversion from the console

To add to Heath's answer: It looks like Subversion 1.6 disabled storing passwords by default if it can't store them in encrypted form. You can allow storing unencrypted passwords by explicitly setting password-stores = (that is, to the empty value) in ~/.subversion/config.

To check which password store subversion uses, look in ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple. This contains several files, each a hash table with a simple key/value encoding. The svn:realmstring in each file identifies which realm that file is for. If the file has

K 8
passtype
V 6
simple

then it stores the password in plain text somewhere in that file, in a K 8 password entry. Else, it tries to use one of the configured password-stores.

What is the use of ByteBuffer in Java?

Here is a great article explaining ByteBuffer benefits. Following are the key points in the article:

  • First advantage of a ByteBuffer irrespective of whether it is direct or indirect is efficient random access of structured binary data (e.g., low-level IO as stated in one of the answers). Prior to Java 1.4, to read such data one could use a DataInputStream, but without random access.

Following are benefits specifically for direct ByteBuffer/MappedByteBuffer. Note that direct buffers are created outside of heap:

  1. Unaffected by gc cycles: Direct buffers won't be moved during garbage collection cycles as they reside outside of heap. TerraCota's BigMemory caching technology seems to rely heavily on this advantage. If they were on heap, it would slow down gc pause times.

  2. Performance boost: In stream IO, read calls would entail system calls, which require a context-switch between user to kernel mode and vice versa, which would be costly especially if file is being accessed constantly. However, with memory-mapping this context-switching is reduced as data is more likely to be found in memory (MappedByteBuffer). If data is available in memory, it is accessed directly without invoking OS, i.e., no context-switching.

Note that MappedByteBuffers are very useful especially if the files are big and few groups of blocks are accessed more frequently.

  1. Page sharing: Memory mapped files can be shared between processes as they are allocated in process's virtual memory space and can be shared across processes.

How do I split an int into its digits?

    ++digits;
    temp /= 10;
} while (temp);

for (int i = 0; i < digits-1; i++)
{
    td *= 10;

s = num;
for (int i = 0; i < digits; i++)
{
    d[i] = s / td %10;
    td /= 10;

How is the java memory pool divided?

Java Heap Memory is part of memory allocated to JVM by Operating System.

Objects reside in an area called the heap. The heap is created when the JVM starts up and may increase or decrease in size while the application runs. When the heap becomes full, garbage is collected.

enter image description here

You can find more details about Eden Space, Survivor Space, Tenured Space and Permanent Generation in below SE question:

Young , Tenured and Perm generation

PermGen has been replaced with Metaspace since Java 8 release.

Regarding your queries:

  1. Eden Space, Survivor Space, Tenured Space are part of heap memory
  2. Metaspace and Code Cache are part of non-heap memory.

Codecache: The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) generates native code and stores it in a memory area called the codecache. The JVM generates native code for a variety of reasons, including for the dynamically generated interpreter loop, Java Native Interface (JNI) stubs, and for Java methods that are compiled into native code by the just-in-time (JIT) compiler. The JIT is by far the biggest user of the codecache.

Disable scrolling when touch moving certain element

There is a little "hack" on CSS that also allows you to disable scrolling:

.lock-screen {
    height: 100%;

How to declare an ArrayList with values?

Use this one:

ArrayList<String> x = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList("abc", "mno"));

How do you convert WSDLs to Java classes using Eclipse?

The Eclipse team with The Open University have prepared the following document, which includes creating proxy classes with tests. It might be what you are looking for.

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/education/web/t320/Generating_a_client_from_WSDL.pdf

Everything is included in the Dynamic Web Project template.

In the project create a Web Service Client. This starts a wizard that has you point out a wsdl url and creates the client with tests for you.

The user guide (targeted at indigo though) for this task is found at http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jst.ws.cxf.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fcreate_client.html.

How to use Servlets and Ajax?

What is the standard Python docstring format?

As apparantly no one mentioned it: you can also use the Numpy Docstring Standard. It is widely used in the scientific community.

The Napolean sphinx extension to parse Google-style docstrings (recommended in the answer of @Nathan) also supports Numpy-style docstring, and makes a short comparison of both.

And last a basic example to give an idea how it looks like:

def func(arg1, arg2):
    """Summary line.

    Extended description of function.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arg1 : int
        Description of arg1
    arg2 : str
        Description of arg2

    Returns
    -------
    bool
        Description of return value

    See Also
    --------
    otherfunc : some related other function

    Examples
    --------
    These are written in doctest format, and should illustrate how to
    use the function.

    >>> a=[1,2,3]
    >>> print [x + 3 for x in a]
    [4, 5, 6]
    """
    return True

How to import JSON File into a TypeScript file?

Angular 10

You should now edit the tsconfig.app.json (notice the "app" in the name) file instead.

There you'll find the compilerOptions, and you simply add resolveJsonModule: true.

So, for example, the file in a brand new project should look like this:

/* To learn more about this file see: https://angular.io/config/tsconfig. */
{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.base.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./out-tsc/app",
    "types": [],
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  },
  "files": [
    "src/main.ts",
    "src/polyfills.ts"
  ],
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.d.ts"
  ]
}

QR Code encoding and decoding using zxing

I tried using ISO-8859-1 as said in the first answer. All went ok on encoding, but when I tried to get the byte[] using result string on decoding, all negative bytes became the character 63 (question mark). The following code does not work:

// Encoding works great
byte[] contents = new byte[]{-1};
QRCodeWriter codeWriter = new QRCodeWriter();
BitMatrix bitMatrix = codeWriter.encode(new String(contents, Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1")), BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, w, h);

// Decodes like this fails
LuminanceSource ls = new BufferedImageLuminanceSource(encodedBufferedImage);
Result result = new QRCodeReader().decode(new BinaryBitmap( new HybridBinarizer(ls)));
byte[] resultBytes = result.getText().getBytes(Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1")); // a byte[] with byte 63 is given
return resultBytes;

It looks so strange because the API in a very old version (don't know exactly) had a method thar works well:

Vector byteSegments = result.getByteSegments();

So I tried to search why this method was removed and realized that there is a way to get ByteSegments, through metadata. So my decode method looks like:

// Decodes like this works perfectly
LuminanceSource ls = new BufferedImageLuminanceSource(encodedBufferedImage);
Result result = new QRCodeReader().decode(new BinaryBitmap( new HybridBinarizer(ls)));
Vector byteSegments = (Vector) result.getResultMetadata().get(ResultMetadataType.BYTE_SEGMENTS);  
int i = 0;
int tam = 0;
for (Object o : byteSegments) {
    byte[] bs = (byte[])o;
    tam += bs.length;
}
byte[] resultBytes = new byte[tam];
i = 0;
for (Object o : byteSegments) {
    byte[] bs = (byte[])o;
    for (byte b : bs) {
        resultBytes[i++] = b;
    }
}
return resultBytes;

Git: which is the default configured remote for branch?

You can do it more simply, guaranteeing that your .gitconfig is left in a meaningful state:

Using Git version v1.8.0 and above

git push -u hub master when pushing, or:
git branch -u hub/master

OR

(This will set the remote for the currently checked-out branch to hub/master)
git branch --set-upstream-to hub/master

OR

(This will set the remote for the branch named branch_name to hub/master)
git branch branch_name --set-upstream-to hub/master

If you're using v1.7.x or earlier

you must use --set-upstream:
git branch --set-upstream master hub/master

How to enter quotes in a Java string?

Here is full java example:-

public class QuoteInJava {     

public static void main (String args[])
    {
            System.out.println ("If you need to 'quote' in Java");
            System.out.println ("you can use single \' or double \" quote");
    }
}

Here is Out PUT:-

If you need to 'quote' in Java
you can use single ' or double " quote

android:background="@null"></ImageButton>

How to get the real and total length of char * (char array)?

This may sound Evil™ and I haven't tested it, but how about initializing all values in an array at allocation to '\0' and then using strlen() ? This would give you your so-called real value since it would stop counting at the first '\0' it encounters.

Well, now that I think about it though, please don't Ever™ do this. Unless, you want to land in a pile of dirty memory.

Also, for the allocated memory or the total memory you may use the following functions if your environment provides them:

git push >> fatal: no configured push destination

The command (or the URL in it) to add the github repository as a remote isn't quite correct. If I understand your repository name correctly, it should be;

git remote add demo_app '[email protected]:levelone/demo_app.git'

How to install 2 Anacondas (Python 2 and 3) on Mac OS

Edit!: Please be sure that you should have both Python installed on your computer.

Maybe my answer is late for you but I can help someone who has the same problem!

You don't have to download both Anaconda.

If you are using Spyder and Jupyter in Anaconda environmen and,

If you have already Anaconda 2 type in Terminal:

    python3 -m pip install ipykernel

    python3 -m ipykernel install --user

If you have already Anaconda 3 then type in terminal:

    python2 -m pip install ipykernel

    python2 -m ipykernel install --user

Then before use Spyder you can choose Python environment like below! Sometimes only you can see root and your new Python environment, so root is your first anaconda environment!

Anaconda spyder Python 2.7 or 3.5

Also this is Jupyter. You can choose python version like this!

Struct inheritance in C++

Yes, struct is exactly like class except the default accessibility is public for struct (while it's private for class).

Sleeping in a batch file

I disagree with the answers I found here.

I use the following method entirely based on Windows XP capabilities to do a delay in a batch file:

DELAY.BAT:

@ECHO OFF
REM DELAY seconds

REM GET ENDING SECOND
FOR /F "TOKENS=1-3 DELIMS=:." %%A IN ("%TIME%") DO SET /A H=%%A, M=1%%B%%100, S=1%%C%%100, ENDING=(H*60+M)*60+S+%1

REM WAIT FOR SUCH A SECOND
:WAIT
FOR /F "TOKENS=1-3 DELIMS=:." %%A IN ("%TIME%") DO SET /A H=%%A, M=1%%B%%100, S=1%%C%%100, CURRENT=(H*60+M)*60+S
IF %CURRENT% LSS %ENDING% GOTO WAIT

You may also insert the day in the calculation so the method also works when the delay interval pass over midnight.

Android : Check whether the phone is dual SIM

Update 23 March'15 :

Official multiple SIM API is available now from Android 5.1 onwards

Other possible option :

You can use Java reflection to get both IMEI numbers.

Using these IMEI numbers you can check whether the phone is a DUAL SIM or not.

Try following activity :

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        TelephonyInfo telephonyInfo = TelephonyInfo.getInstance(this);

        String imeiSIM1 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM1();
        String imeiSIM2 = telephonyInfo.getImsiSIM2();

        boolean isSIM1Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM1Ready();
        boolean isSIM2Ready = telephonyInfo.isSIM2Ready();

        boolean isDualSIM = telephonyInfo.isDualSIM();

        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
        tv.setText(" IME1 : " + imeiSIM1 + "\n" +
                " IME2 : " + imeiSIM2 + "\n" +
                " IS DUAL SIM : " + isDualSIM + "\n" +
                " IS SIM1 READY : " + isSIM1Ready + "\n" +
                " IS SIM2 READY : " + isSIM2Ready + "\n");
    }
}

And here is TelephonyInfo.java :

            super(info);
        }
    }
}

Edit :

Getting access of methods like "getDeviceIdGemini" for other SIM slot's detail has prediction that method exist.

If that method's name doesn't match with one given by device manufacturer than it will not work. You have to find corresponding method name for those devices.

Finding method names for other manufacturers can be done using Java reflection as follows :

public static void printTelephonyManagerMethodNamesForThisDevice(Context context) {

    TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    Class<?> telephonyClass;
    try {
        telephonyClass = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());
        Method[] methods = telephonyClass.getMethods();
        for (int idx = 0; idx < methods.length; idx++) {

            System.out.println("\n" + methods[idx] + " declared by " + methods[idx].getDeclaringClass());
        }
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
} 

EDIT :

As Seetha pointed out in her comment :

telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 0);
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getDeviceIdDs", 1); 

It is working for her. She was successful in getting two IMEI numbers for both the SIM in Samsung Duos device.

Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

EDIT 2 :

The method used for retrieving data is for Lenovo A319 and other phones by that manufacture (Credit Maher Abuthraa):

telephonyInfo.imeiSIM1 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 0); 
telephonyInfo.imeiSIM2 = getDeviceIdBySlot(context, "getSimSerialNumberGemini", 1); 

Who is listening on a given TCP port on Mac OS X?

For macOS I use two commands together to show information about the processes listening on the machine and process connecting to remote servers. In other words, to check the listening ports and the current (TCP) connections on a host you could use the two following commands together

1. netstat -p tcp -p udp 

2. lsof -n -i4TCP -i4UDP 

Thought I would add my input, hopefully it can end up helping someone.

android ellipsize multiline textview

I've run into this problem, too. There's a rather old bug about it that remains unanswered: Bug 2254

Adding Counter in shell script

Here's how you might implement a counter:

counter=0
while true; do
  if /home/hadoop/latest/bin/hadoop fs -ls /apps/hdtech/bds/quality-rt/dt=$DATE_YEST_FORMAT2 then
       echo "Files Present" | mailx -s "File Present"  -r [email protected] [email protected]
       exit 0
  elif [[ "$counter" -gt 20 ]]; then
       echo "Counter: $counter times reached; Exiting loop!"
       exit 1
  else
       counter=$((counter+1))
       echo "Counter: $counter time(s); Sleeping for another half an hour" | mailx -s "Time to Sleep Now"  -r [email protected] [email protected]
       sleep 1800
  fi
done

Some Explanations:

  • counter=$((counter+1)) - this is how you can increment a counter. The $ for counter is optional inside the double parentheses in this case.
  • elif [[ "$counter" -gt 20 ]]; then - this checks whether $counter is not greater than 20. If so, it outputs the appropriate message and breaks out of your while loop.

How do I search an SQL Server database for a string?

Here is how you can search the database in Swift using the FMDB library.

First, go to this link and add this to your project: FMDB. When you have done that, then here is how you do it. For example, you have a table called Person, and you have firstName and secondName and you want to find data by first name, here is a code for that:

    func loadDataByfirstName(firstName : String, completion: @escaping CompletionHandler){
    if isDatabaseOpened {
        let query = "select * from Person where firstName like '\(firstName)'"
        do {
            let results = try database.executeQuery(query, values: [firstName])
            while results.next() {
                let firstName = results.string(forColumn: "firstName") ?? ""
                let lastName = results.string(forColumn: "lastName") ?? ""
                let newPerson = Person(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName)
                self.persons.append(newPerson)
            }
            completion(true)
        }catch let err {
            completion(false)
            print(err.localizedDescription)
        }
        database.close()
    }
}

Then in your ViewController you will write this to find the person detail you are looking for:

  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
     super.viewWillAppear(animated)
      SQLManager.instance.openDatabase { (success) in
        if success {
            SQLManager.instance.loadDataByfirstName(firstName: "Hardi") { (success) in
                if success {
                    // You have your data Here
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

You cannot concatenate a string with an int. You would need to convert your int to a string using the str function, or use formatting to format your output.

Change: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + balanceAfterStrength + " skill points.")

to: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at {} skill points.".format(balanceAfterStrength))

or: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + str(balanceAfterStrength) + " skill points.")

or as per the comment, use , to pass different strings to your print function, rather than concatenating using +: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at ", balanceAfterStrength, " skill points.")

Get absolute path to workspace directory in Jenkins Pipeline plugin

For me WORKSPACE was a valid property of the pipeline itself. So when I handed over this to a Groovy method as parameter context from the pipeline script itself, I was able to access the correct value using "... ${context.WORKSPACE} ..."

(on Jenkins 2.222.3, Build Pipeline Plugin 1.5.8, Pipeline: Nodes and Processes 2.35)

Prevent screen rotation on Android

You can follow the logic below to prevent auto rotate screen while your AsyncTask is running:

  1. Store your current screen orientation inside your activity using getRequestedOrientation().
  2. Disable auto screen orientation using setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR).
  3. Run/execute your AsyncTask.
  4. At the end of your AsyncTask restore your previous orientation status using setRequestedOrientation(oldOrientation).

Please note that there are several ways to access Activity (which runs on UI thread) properties inside an AsyncTask. You can implement your AsyncTask as an inner class or you can use message Handler that poke your Activiy class.

JavaScript string with new line - but not using \n

you can use the following function:

  function nl2br (str, is_xhtml) {
     var breakTag = (is_xhtml || typeof is_xhtml === 'undefined') ? '<br />' : '<br>';
     return (str + '').replace(/([^>\r\n]?)(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)/g, '$1' + breakTag + '$2');
  } 

like so:

var mystr="line\nanother line\nanother line";
mystr=nl2br(mystr);
alert(mystr);

this should alert line<br>another line<br>another line

the source of the function is from here: http://phpjs.org/functions/nl2br:480

this imitates the nl2br function in php...

Rails :include vs. :joins

The difference between joins and include is that using the include statement generates a much larger SQL query loading into memory all the attributes from the other table(s).

For example, if you have a table full of comments and you use a :joins => users to pull in all the user information for sorting purposes, etc it will work fine and take less time than :include, but say you want to display the comment along with the users name, email, etc. To get the information using :joins, it will have to make separate SQL queries for each user it fetches, whereas if you used :include this information is ready for use.

Great example:

How do I insert non breaking space character &nbsp; in a JSF page?

this will work

<h:outputText value="&#160;" />

Triggering a checkbox value changed event in DataGridView

Working with an unbound control (ie I manage the content programmatically), without the EndEdit() it only called the CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged once and then never again; but I found that with the EndEdit() CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged was called twice (the second probably caused by the EndEdit() but I didn't check), so I did the following, which worked best for me:

    bool myGridView_DoCheck = false;
    private void myGridView_CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!myGridView_DoCheck)
        {
            myGridView_DoCheck = true;
            myGridView.EndEdit();
            // do something here
        }
        else
            myGridView_DoCheck = false;
    }

How to create a custom string representation for a class object?

Implement __str__() or __repr__() in the class's metaclass.

class MC(type):
  def __repr__(self):
    return 'Wahaha!'

class C(object):
  __metaclass__ = MC

print C

Use __str__ if you mean a readable stringification, use __repr__ for unambiguous representations.

display Java.util.Date in a specific format

You need to go through SimpleDateFormat.format in order to format the date as a string.

Here's an example that goes from String -> Date -> String.

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date date = dateFormat.parse("31/05/2011");

System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));   // prints 31/05/2011
//                            ^^^^^^

Security of REST authentication schemes

Or you could use the known solution to this problem and use SSL. Self-signed certs are free and its a personal project right?

Text in a flex container doesn't wrap in IE11

I had a similar issue with overflowing images in a flex wrapper.

Adding either flex-basis: 100%; or flex: 1; to the overflowing child fixed worked for me.

How to convert array values to lowercase in PHP?

You could use array_map(), set the first parameter to 'strtolower' (including the quotes) and the second parameter to $lower_case_array.

How to search a string in a single column (A) in excel using VBA

Below are two methods that are superior to looping. Both handle a "no-find" case.

  1. The VBA equivalent of a normal function VLOOKUP with error-handling if the variable doesn't exist (INDEX/MATCH may be a better route than VLOOKUP, ie if your two columns A and B were in reverse order, or were far apart)
  2. VBAs FIND method (matching a whole string in column A given I use the xlWhole argument)

    Sub Method1()
    Dim strSearch As String
    Dim strOut As String
    Dim bFailed As Boolean
    
    strSearch = "trees"
    
    On Error Resume Next
    strOut = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(strSearch, Range("A:B"), 2, False)
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then bFailed = True
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If Not bFailed Then
    MsgBox "corresponding value is " & vbNewLine & strOut
    Else
    MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
    End If
    End Sub
    
    Sub Method2()
        Dim rng1 As Range
        Dim strSearch As String
        strSearch = "trees"
        Set rng1 = Range("A:A").Find(strSearch, , xlValues, xlWhole)
        If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "Find has matched " & strSearch & vbNewLine & "corresponding cell is " & rng1.Offset(0, 1)
        Else
            MsgBox strSearch & " not found"
        End If
    End Sub
    

Disable/Enable Submit Button until all forms have been filled

Just use

document.getElementById('submitbutton').disabled = !cansubmit;

instead of the the if-clause that works only one-way.

Also, for the users who have JS disabled, I'd suggest to set the initial disabled by JS only. To do so, just move the script behind the <form> and call checkform(); once.

How to pass event as argument to an inline event handler in JavaScript?

to pass the event object:

<p id="p" onclick="doSomething(event)">

to get the clicked child element (should be used with event parameter:

function doSomething(e) {
    e = e || window.event;
    var target = e.target || e.srcElement;
    console.log(target);
}

to pass the element itself (DOMElement):

<p id="p" onclick="doThing(this)">

see live example on jsFiddle.

You can specify the name of the event as above, but alternatively your handler can access the event parameter as described here: "When the event handler is specified as an HTML attribute, the specified code is wrapped into a function with the following parameters". There's much more additional documentation at the link.

Enabling WiFi on Android Emulator

As of now, with Revision 26.1.3 of the android emulator, it is finally possible on the image v8 of the API 25. If the emulator was created before you upgrade to the latest API 25 image, you need to wipe data or simply delete and recreate your image if you prefer.

Added support for Wi-Fi in some system images (currently only API level 25). An access point called "AndroidWifi" is available and Android automatically connects to it. Wi-Fi support can be disabled by running the emulator with the command line parameter -feature -Wifi.

How to calculate the angle between a line and the horizontal axis?

matlab function:

function [lineAngle] = getLineAngle(x1, y1, x2, y2) 
    deltaY = y2 - y1;
    deltaX = x2 - x1;

    lineAngle = rad2deg(atan2(deltaY, deltaX));

    if deltaY < 0
        lineAngle = lineAngle + 360;
    end
end

Stopword removal with NLTK

I suggest you create your own list of operator words that you take out of the stopword list. Sets can be conveniently subtracted, so:

operators = set(('and', 'or', 'not'))
stop = set(stopwords...) - operators

Then you can simply test if a word is in or not in the set without relying on whether your operators are part of the stopword list. You can then later switch to another stopword list or add an operator.

if word.lower() not in stop:
    # use word

Assign a synthesizable initial value to a reg in Verilog

The always @* would never trigger as no Right hand arguments change. Why not use a wire with assign?

module top (
    input wire clk,
    output wire [7:0] led   
);

wire [7:0] data_reg ; 
assign data_reg   = 8'b10101011;
assign led        = data_reg;

endmodule

If you actually want a flop where you can change the value, the default would be in the reset clause.

module top
(
    input        clk,
    input        rst_n,
    input  [7:0] data,
    output [7:0] led   
 );

reg [7:0] data_reg ; 
always @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n) begin
  if (!rst_n)
    data_reg <= 8'b10101011;
  else
    data_reg <= data ; 
end

assign led = data_reg;

endmodule

Hope this helps

How to show the last queries executed on MySQL?

1) If general mysql logging is enabled then we can check the queries in the log file or table based what we have mentioned in the config. Check what is enabled with the following command

mysql> show variables like 'general_log%';
mysql> show variables like 'log_output%';

If we need query history in table then

Execute SET GLOBAL log_output = 'TABLE';
Execute SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';

Take a look at the table mysql.general_log

If you prefer to output to a file:

SET GLOBAL log_output = "FILE"; which is set by default.
SET GLOBAL general_log_file = "/path/to/your/logfile.log";
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';

2) We can also check the queries in the .mysql_history file cat ~/.mysql_history

How can I display the current branch and folder path in terminal?

For Mac Catilina 10.15.5 and later version:

How to crop a CvMat in OpenCV?

I understand this question has been answered but perhaps this might be useful to someone...

If you wish to copy the data into a separate cv::Mat object you could use a function similar to this:

void ExtractROI(Mat& inImage, Mat& outImage, Rect roi){
    /* Create the image */
    outImage = Mat(roi.height, roi.width, inImage.type(), Scalar(0));

    /* Populate the image */
    for (int i = roi.y; i < (roi.y+roi.height); i++){
        uchar* inP = inImage.ptr<uchar>(i);
        uchar* outP = outImage.ptr<uchar>(i-roi.y);
        for (int j = roi.x; j < (roi.x+roi.width); j++){
            outP[j-roi.x] = inP[j];
        }
    }
}

It would be important to note that this would only function properly on single channel images.

Stretch background image css?

.style1 {
  background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

Works in:

  • Safari 3+
  • Chrome Whatever+
  • IE 9+
  • Opera 10+ (Opera 9.5 supported background-size but not the keywords)
  • Firefox 3.6+ (Firefox 4 supports non-vendor prefixed version)

In addition you can try this for an IE solution

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='myBackground.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
zoom: 1;

Git: copy all files in a directory from another branch

As you are not trying to move the files around in the tree, you should be able to just checkout the directory:

git checkout master -- dirname

Local Storage vs Cookies

It is also worth mentioning that localStorage cannot be used when users browse in "private" mode in some versions of mobile Safari.

Quoted from MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage):

Note: Starting with iOS 5.1, Safari Mobile stores localStorage data in the cache folder, which is subject to occasional clean up, at the behest of the OS, typically if space is short. Safari Mobile's Private Browsing mode also prevents writing to localStorage entirely.

Select All checkboxes using jQuery

I know its too late, but I'm posting this for the upcoming developers.

For select all checkbox we need to check three conditions, 1. on click select all checkbox every checkbox should get selected 2. if all selected then on click select all checkbox, every checkbox should get deselected 3. if we deselect or select any of the checkbox the select all checkbox also should change.

with these three things we'll get a good result.for this you can approach this link https://qawall.in/2020/05/30/select-all-or-deselect-all-checkbox-using-jquery/ I got my solution from here, they have provided solution with examples.

<table>
<tr>
    <th><input type="checkbox" id="select_all"/> Select all</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="1"/> Check 1</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="2"/> Check 2</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="3"/> Check 3</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="4"/> Check 4</td>
    <td><input type="checkbox" class="check" value="5"/> Check 5</td>
</tr>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#select_all').on('click',function(){
    if(this.checked){
        $('.check').each(function(){
            this.checked = true;
        });
    }else{
         $('.check').each(function(){
            this.checked = false;
        });
    }
});

$('.check').on('click',function(){
    if($('.check:checked').length == $('.check').length){
        $('#select_all').prop('checked',true);
    }else{
        $('#select_all').prop('checked',false);
    }
});

});

hope this will help anyone ...:)

How to play a local video with Swift?

U can setup AVPlayer in another way, that open for u full customization of your video Player screen

Swift 2.3

  1. Create UIView subclass for playing video (basically u can use any UIView object and only needed is AVPlayerLayer. I setup in this way because it much clearer for me)

    import AVFoundation
    import UIKit
    
    class PlayerView: UIView {
    
    override class func layerClass() -> AnyClass {
        return AVPlayerLayer.self
    }
    
    var player:AVPlayer? {
        set {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                layer.player = player
            }
        }
        get {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                return layer.player
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }
    }
    }
    
  2. Setup your player

    import AVFoundation

Try-catch speeding up my code?

Well, the way you're timing things looks pretty nasty to me. It would be much more sensible to just time the whole loop:

var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
for (int i = 1; i < 100000000; i++)
{
    Fibo(100);
}
stopwatch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine("Elapsed time: {0}", stopwatch.Elapsed);

That way you're not at the mercy of tiny timings, floating point arithmetic and accumulated error.

Having made that change, see whether the "non-catch" version is still slower than the "catch" version.

EDIT: Okay, I've tried it myself - and I'm seeing the same result. Very odd. I wondered whether the try/catch was disabling some bad inlining, but using [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)] instead didn't help...

Basically you'll need to look at the optimized JITted code under cordbg, I suspect...

EDIT: A few more bits of information:

  • Putting the try/catch around just the n++; line still improves performance, but not by as much as putting it around the whole block
  • If you catch a specific exception (ArgumentException in my tests) it's still fast
  • If you print the exception in the catch block it's still fast
  • If you rethrow the exception in the catch block it's slow again
  • If you use a finally block instead of a catch block it's slow again
  • If you use a finally block as well as a catch block, it's fast

Weird...

EDIT: Okay, we have disassembly...

This is using the C# 2 compiler and .NET 2 (32-bit) CLR, disassembling with mdbg (as I don't have cordbg on my machine). I still see the same performance effects, even under the debugger. The fast version uses a try block around everything between the variable declarations and the return statement, with just a catch{} handler. Obviously the slow version is the same except without the try/catch. The calling code (i.e. Main) is the same in both cases, and has the same assembly representation (so it's not an inlining issue).

In each case the * shows where the debugger entered in a simple "step-into".

EDIT: Okay, I've now looked through the code and I think I can see how each version works... and I believe the slower version is slower because it uses fewer registers and more stack space. For small values of n that's possibly faster - but when the loop takes up the bulk of the time, it's slower.

Possibly the try/catch block forces more registers to be saved and restored, so the JIT uses those for the loop as well... which happens to improve the performance overall. It's not clear whether it's a reasonable decision for the JIT to not use as many registers in the "normal" code.

EDIT: Just tried this on my x64 machine. The x64 CLR is much faster (about 3-4 times faster) than the x86 CLR on this code, and under x64 the try/catch block doesn't make a noticeable difference.

How do I know if jQuery has an Ajax request pending?

We have to utilize $.ajax.abort() method to abort request if the request is active. This promise object uses readyState property to check whether the request is active or not.

HTML

<h3>Cancel Ajax Request on Demand</h3>
<div id="test"></div>
<input type="button" id="btnCancel" value="Click to Cancel the Ajax Request" />

JS Code

//Initial Message
var ajaxRequestVariable;
$("#test").html("Please wait while request is being processed..");

//Event handler for Cancel Button
$("#btnCancel").on("click", function(){
if (ajaxRequestVariable !== undefined)

if (ajaxRequestVariable.readyState > 0 && ajaxRequestVariable.readyState < 4)
{
  ajaxRequestVariable.abort();
  $("#test").html("Ajax Request Cancelled.");
}
});

//Ajax Process Starts
ajaxRequestVariable = $.ajax({
            method: "POST",
            url: '/echo/json/',
            contentType: "application/json",
            cache: false,
            dataType: "json",
            data: {
        json: JSON.encode({
         data:
             [
                            {"prop1":"prop1Value"},
                    {"prop1":"prop2Value"}
                  ]         
        }),
        delay: 11
    },

            success: function (response) {
            $("#test").show();
            $("#test").html("Request is completed");           
            },
            error: function (error) {

            },
            complete: function () {

            }
        });

C++ - How to append a char to char*?

The function name does not reflect the semantic of the function. In fact you do not append a character. You create a new character array that contains the original array plus the given character. So if you indeed need a function that appends a character to a character array I would write it the following way

bool AppendCharToCharArray( char *array, size_t n, char c )
{
    size_t sz = std::strlen( array );

    if ( sz + 1 < n ) 
    {
        array[sz] = c;
        array[sz + 1] = '\0';
    }       

    return ( sz + 1 < n );
} 

If you need a function that will contain a copy of the original array plus the given character then it could look the following way

char * CharArrayPlusChar( const char *array, char c )
{
    size_t sz = std::strlen( array );
    char *s = new char[sz + 2];

    std::strcpy( s, array );
    s[sz] = c;
    s[sz + 1] = '\0';

    return ( s );
} 

How can I display an RTSP video stream in a web page?

the Microsoft Mediaplayer can do all, you need. I use the MS Mediaservices of 2003 / 2008 Server to deliver Video as Broadcast and Unicast Stream. This Service could GET the Stream from the cam and Broadcast it. Than you have "only" the Problem to "Display" that Picture in ALL Browers at all OS-Systems

My Tip :check first the OS , than load your plugin . on Windows it is easy -take WMP , on other take MS Silverligt ...

xampp MySQL does not start

Same issue on macOS and got it fixed by running the same installer again.

Whereas I COULD NOT get it fixed by

  1. Changing port
  2. Rebooting XAMPP
  3. Restarting system

Note: Make sure to select 'XAMPP Core Files' component while running the installer as by default it is not selected.

Though re-running the installer is not smart option when one has to do it every now and then. My installer is xampp-osx-7.0.13-1-installer.dmg

Update: I've got my MAMP working with this simple solution here. So, same should work for XAMPP.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token with JSON.parse

How do you disable browser Autocomplete on web form field / input tag?

Three options: First:

<input type='text' autocomplete='off' />

Second:

<form action='' autocomplete='off'>

Third (javascript code):

$('input').attr('autocomplete', 'off');

Batch files: List all files in a directory with relative paths

You could simply get the character length of the current directory, and remove them from your absolute list

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /L %%n in (1 1 500) do if "!__cd__:~%%n,1!" neq "" set /a "len=%%n+1"
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
for /r . %%g in (*.log) do (
  set "absPath=%%g"
  setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
  set "relPath=!absPath:~%len%!"
  echo(!relPath!
  endlocal
)

Filtering Pandas DataFrames on dates

If your datetime column have the Pandas datetime type (e.g. datetime64[ns]), for proper filtering you need the pd.Timestamp object, for example:

from datetime import date

import pandas as pd

value_to_check = pd.Timestamp(date.today().year, 1, 1)
filter_mask = df['date_column'] < value_to_check
filtered_df = df[filter_mask]

How to switch to the new browser window, which opens after click on the button?

You can switch between windows as below:

// Store the current window handle
String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Perform the click operation that opens new window

// Switch to new window opened
for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()){
    driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}

// Perform the actions on new window

// Close the new window, if that window no more required
driver.close();

// Switch back to original browser (first window)
driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);

// Continue with original browser (first window)

ReactJS: Maximum update depth exceeded error

You should pass the event object when calling the function :

{<td><span onClick={(e) => this.toggle(e)}>Details</span></td>}

If you don't need to handle onClick event you can also type :

{<td><span onClick={(e) => this.toggle()}>Details</span></td>}

Now you can also add your parameters within the function.

Get the IP Address of local computer

from torial: If you use winsock, here's a way: http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/examples/ipaddr.html

As for the subnet portion of the question; there is not platform agnostic way to retrieve the subnet mask as the POSIX socket API (which all modern operating systems implement) does not specify this. So you will have to use whatever method is available on the platform you are using.

Sort Go map values by keys

All of the answers here now contain the old behavior of maps. In Go 1.12+, you can just print a map value and it will be sorted by key automatically. This has been added because it allows the testing of map values easily.

func main() {
    m := map[int]int{3: 5, 2: 4, 1: 3}
    fmt.Println(m)

    // In Go 1.12+
    // Output: map[1:3 2:4 3:5]

    // Before Go 1.12 (the order was undefined)
    // map[3:5 2:4 1:3]
}

Maps are now printed in key-sorted order to ease testing. The ordering rules are:

  • When applicable, nil compares low
  • ints, floats, and strings order by <
  • NaN compares less than non-NaN floats
  • bool compares false before true
  • Complex compares real, then imaginary
  • Pointers compare by machine address
  • Channel values compare by machine address
  • Structs compare each field in turn
  • Arrays compare each element in turn
  • Interface values compare first by reflect.Type describing the concrete type and then by concrete value as described in the previous rules.

When printing maps, non-reflexive key values like NaN were previously displayed as <nil>. As of this release, the correct values are printed.

How do I unload (reload) a Python module?

If you encounter the following error, this answer may help you to get a solution:

Traceback (most recent call last): 
 File "FFFF", line 1, in  
NameError: name 'YYYY' is not defined

OR

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "FFFF", line 1, in 
 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 140, in reload
   raise TypeError("reload() argument must be a module")
TypeError: reload() argument must be a module

In case you have an import like the one below, you may need to use the sys.modules to get the module you want to reload:

  import importlib
  import sys

  from YYYY.XXX.ZZZ import CCCC
  import AAA.BBB.CC


  def reload(full_name)
    if full_name in sys.modules:
      importlib.reload(sys.modules[full_name])


  reload('YYYY.XXX.ZZZ') # this is fine in both cases
  reload('AAA.BBB.CC')  

  importlib.reload(YYYY.XXX.ZZZ) # in my case: this fails
  importlib.reload(AAA.BBB.CC)   #             and this is ok

The main issue is that the importlib.reload accepts module only not string.

How would I create a UIAlertView in Swift?

You can use this simple extension with n number of buttons and associated actions swift4 and above

extension UIViewController {
    func popupAlert(title: String?, message: String?, actionTitles:[String?], actions:[((UIAlertAction) -> Void)?]) {
        let alert = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
        for (index, title) in actionTitles.enumerated() {
            let action = UIAlertAction(title: title, style: .default, handler: actions[index])
            alert.addAction(action)
        }
        self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

you can use it like ,

self.popupAlert(title: "Message", message: "your message", actionTitles: ["first","second","third"], actions:[
            {action1 in
                //action for first btn click
            },
            {action2 in
                //action for second btn click
            },
            {action3 in
                //action for third btn click
            }, nil]) 

How to keep a git branch in sync with master

check if a file is open in Python

You could use with open("path") as file: so that it automatically closes, else if it's open in another process you can maybe try as in Tims example you should use except IOError to not ignore any other problem with your code :)

   with open("path", "r") as file: # or just open
       # Code here
except IOError:
   # raise error or print

Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

I had a similar issue. You are trying to apply foreign key on a table which has content and the column is not nullable. You have two options.

  1. Make the column you want to apply foreign key constraints on to be nullable. That way the foreign key will apply knowing that some fields can be nullable. (This is what i did.)
  2. Create the column you want to apply foreign key constraint on, write a query to insert the foreign key into the column and then apply the foreign key constraints. (Did not try this but it should work)

PHP: check if any posted vars are empty - form: all fields required

I use my own custom function...

public function areNull() {
    if (func_num_args() == 0) return false;
    $arguments = func_get_args();
    foreach ($arguments as $argument):
        if (is_null($argument)) return true;
    endforeach;
    return false;
}
$var = areNull("username", "password", "etc");

I'm sure it can easily be changed for you scenario. Basically it returns true if any of the values are NULL, so you could change it to empty or whatever.

How to control font sizes in pgf/tikz graphics in latex?

You can also use:

\usepackage{anyfontsize}

The huge advantage of the anyfontsize package over scalefnt is that one does not need to enclose the entire {tikzpicture} with a \scalefont environment.

Just adding \usepackage{anyfontsize} to the preamble is all that is required for the font scaling magic to happen.

What happens to a declared, uninitialized variable in C? Does it have a value?

The Value of num will be some garbage value from the main memory(RAM). its better if you initialize the variable just after creating.

Determine the line of code that causes a segmentation fault?

There are a number of tools available which help debugging segmentation faults and I would like to add my favorite tool to the list: Address Sanitizers (often abbreviated ASAN).

Modern¹ compilers come with the handy -fsanitize=address flag, adding some compile time and run time overhead which does more error checking.

According to the documentation these checks include catching segmentation faults by default. The advantage here is that you get a stack trace similar to gdb's output, but without running the program inside a debugger. An example:

int main() {
  volatile int *ptr = (int*)0;
  *ptr = 0;
}
$ gcc -g -fsanitize=address main.c
$ ./a.out

The output is slightly more complicated than what gdb would output but there are upsides:

  • There is no need to reproduce the problem to receive a stack trace. Simply enabling the flag during development is enough.

  • ASANs catch a lot more than just segmentation faults. Many out of bounds accesses will be caught even if that memory area was accessible to the process.

FD9657F0E0E49AE56AAACE847BA368CEB;120F24A4C2554B4F';

This will put the account back in to OPEN status without changing the password (as long as you cut and paste correctly the hash value from the output of DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL) and you don't even need to know what the password is.

How to check if an item is selected from an HTML drop down list?

I believe this is the most simple in all aspects unless you call the validate function be other means. With no/null/empty value to your first option is easier to validate. You could also eliminate the first option and start with the most popular card type.

<form name="myForm">
<select id="cardtype" name="cards">
<option value="">--- Please select ---</option>
<option value="mastercard" selected="selected">Mastercard</option>
<option value="maestro">Maestro</option>
<option value="solo">Solo (UK only)</option>
<option value="visaelectron">Visa Electron</option>
<option value="visadebit">Visa Debit</option>
</select><br />

<input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" value="SUBMIT" onmouseover="validate()"></form>

<script>
function validate() {
 if (document.myform.cards.value == "") {
    alert("Please select a card type");
    document.myForm.cards.focus();
}
</script>

git rebase fatal: Needed a single revision

The error occurs when your repository does not have the default branch set for the remote. You can use the git remote set-head command to modify the default branch, and thus be able to use the remote name instead of a specified branch in that remote.

To query the remote (in this case origin) for its HEAD (typically master), and set that as the default branch:

$ git remote set-head origin --auto

If you want to use a different default remote branch locally, you can specify that branch:

$ git remote set-head origin new-default

Once the default branch is set, you can use just the remote name in git rebase <remote> and any other commands instead of explicit <remote>/<branch>.

Behind the scenes, this command updates the reference in .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD.

$ cat .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 
ref: refs/remotes/origin/master

See the git-remote man page for further details.

How to do relative imports in Python?

Everyone seems to want to tell you what you should be doing rather than just answering the question.

The problem is that you're running the module as '__main__' by passing the mod1.py as an argument to the interpreter.

From PEP 328:

Relative imports use a module's __name__ attribute to determine that module's position in the package hierarchy. If the module's name does not contain any package information (e.g. it is set to '__main__') then relative imports are resolved as if the module were a top level module, regardless of where the module is actually located on the file system.

In Python 2.6, they're adding the ability to reference modules relative to the main module. PEP 366 describes the change.

Update: According to Nick Coghlan, the recommended alternative is to run the module inside the package using the -m switch.

Get started with Latex on Linux

First you'll need to Install it:

  • If you're using a distro which packages LaTeX (almost all will do) then look for texlive or tetex. TeX Live is the newer of the two, and is replacing tetex on most distributions now.

If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, something like:

<code>apt-get install texlive</code>

..will get it installed.

RedHat or CentOS need:

<code>yum install tetex</code>

Note : This needs root permissions, so either use su to switch user to root, or prefix the commands with sudo, if you aren't already logged in as the root user.

Next you'll need to get a text editor. Any editor will do, so whatever you are comfortable with. You'll find that advanced editors like Emacs (and vim) add a lot of functionality and so will help with ensuring that your syntax is correct before you try and build your document output.

Create a file called test.tex and put some content in it, say the example from the LaTeX primer:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}

The foundations of the rigorous study of \emph{analysis}
were laid in the nineteenth century, notably by the
mathematicians Cauchy and Weierstrass. Central to the
study of this subject are the formal definitions of
\emph{limits} and \emph{continuity}.

Let $D$ be a subset of $\bf R$ and let
$f \colon D \to \mathbf{R}$ be a real-valued function on
$D$. The function $f$ is said to be \emph{continuous} on
$D$ if, for all $\epsilon > 0$ and for all $x \in D$,
there exists some $\delta > 0$ (which may depend on $x$)
such that if $y \in D$ satisfies
\[ |y - x| < \delta \]
then
\[ |f(y) - f(x)| < \epsilon. \]

One may readily verify that if $f$ and $g$ are continuous
functions on $D$ then the functions $f+g$, $f-g$ and
$f.g$ are continuous. If in addition $g$ is everywhere
non-zero then $f/g$ is continuous.

\end{document}

Once you've got this file you'll need to run latex on it to produce some output (as a .dvi file to start with, which is possible to convert to many other formats):

latex test.tex

This will print a bunch of output, something like this:

=> latex test.tex

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

No file test.aux.

Output written on test.dvi (1 page, 1508 bytes).
Transcript written on test.log.

..don't worry about most of this output -- the important part is the Output written on test.dvi line, which says that it was successful.

Now you need to view the output file with xdvi:

xdvi test.dvi &

This will pop up a window with the beautifully formatted output in it. Hit `q' to quit this, or you can leave it open and it will automatically update when the test.dvi file is modified (so whenever you run latex to update the output).

To produce a PDF of this you simply run pdflatex instead of latex:

pdflatex test.tex

..and you'll have a test.pdf file created instead of the test.dvi file.

After this is all working fine, I would suggest going to the LaTeX primer page and running through the items on there as you need features for documents you want to write.

Future things to consider include:

  • Use tools such as xfig or dia to create diagrams. These can be easily inserted into your documents in a variety of formats. Note that if you are creating PDFs then you shouldn't use EPS (encapsulated postscript) for images -- use pdf exported from your diagram editor if possible, or you can use the epstopdf package to automatically convert from (e)ps to pdf for figures included with \includegraphics.

  • Start using version control on your documents. This seems excessive at first, but being able to go back and look at earlier versions when you are writing something large can be extremely useful.

  • Use make to run latex for you. When you start on having bibliographies, images and other more complex uses of latex you'll find that you need to run it over multiple files or multiple times (the first time updates the references, and the second puts references into the document, so they can be out-of-date unless you run latex twice...). Abstracting this into a makefile can save a lot of time and effort.

  • Use a better editor. Something like Emacs + AUCTeX is highly competent. This is of course a highly subjective subject, so I'll leave it at that (that and that Emacs is clearly the best option :)

How to debug .htaccess RewriteRule not working

Perhaps a more logical method would be to create a file (e.g. test.html), add some content and then try to set it as the index page:

DirectoryIndex test.html

For the most part, the .htaccess rule will override the Apache configuration where working at the directory/file level

Fastest way to get the first n elements of a List into an Array

Option 1 Faster Than Option 2

Because Option 2 creates a new List reference, and then creates an n element array from the List (option 1 perfectly sizes the output array). However, first you need to fix the off by one bug. Use < (not <=). Like,

String[] out = new String[n];
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    out[i] = in.get(i);
}

What's the regular expression that matches a square bracket?

jQuery - find table row containing table cell containing specific text

$(function(){
    var search = 'foo';
    $("table tr td").filter(function() {
        return $(this).text() == search;
    }).parent('tr').css('color','red');
});

Will turn the text red for rows which have a cell whose text is 'foo'.

SUM OVER PARTITION BY

remove partition by and add group by clause,

SELECT BrandId
      ,SUM(ICount) totalSum
  FROM Table 
WHERE DateId  = 20130618
GROUP BY BrandId

How to call multiple functions with @click in vue?

First of all you can use the short notation @click instead of v-on:click for readability purposes.

Second You can use a click event handler that calls other functions/methods as @Tushar mentioned in his comment above, so you end up with something like this :

<div id="app">
   <div @click="handler('foo','bar')">
       Hi, click me!
   </div>
</div>

<!-- link to vue.js !--> 
<script src="vue.js"></script>

<script>
   (function(){
        var vm = new Vue({
            el:'#app',
            methods:{
                method1:function(arg){
                    console.log('method1: ',arg);
                },
                method2:function(arg){
                    console.log('method2: ',arg);
                },
                handler:function(arg1,arg2){
                    this.method1(arg1);
                    this.method2(arg2);
                }
            }
        })
    }()); 
</script>

How to set combobox default value?

You can do something like this:

    public myform()
    {
         InitializeComponent(); // this will be called in ComboBox ComboBox = new System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'myDataSet.someTable' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        this.myTableAdapter.Fill(this.myDataSet.someTable);
        comboBox1.SelectedItem = null;
        comboBox1.SelectedText = "--select--";           
    }

SQL Server® 2016, 2017 and 2019 Express full download

Once you start the web installer there's an option to download media, that being the full installation package. There's even download options for what kind of package to download.

Cannot import the keyfile 'blah.pfx' - error 'The keyfile may be password protected'

I had the same issue and deleting the store and reading didn't work. I had to do the following.

  • Get a copy of OpenSSL. It is available for Windows. Or use a Linux box as they all pretty much all have it.

  • Run the following to export to a key file:

    openssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -out backupcertfile.key
    
    openssl pkcs12 -export -out certfiletosignwith.pfx -keysig -in backupcertfile.key
    

Then in the project properties you can use the PFX file.

What is the difference between public, protected, package-private and private in Java?

The most misunderstood access modifier in Java is protected. We know that it's similar to the default modifier with one exception in which subclasses can see it. But how? Here is an example which hopefully clarifies the confusion:

  • Assume that we have 2 classes; Father and Son, each in its own package:

    package fatherpackage;
    
    public class Father
    {
    
    }
    
    -------------------------------------------
    
    package sonpackage;
    
    public class Son extends Father
    {
    
    }
    
  • Let's add a protected method foo() to Father.

    package fatherpackage;
    
    public class Father
    {
        protected void foo(){}
    }
    
  • The method foo() can be called in 4 contexts:

    1. Inside a class that is located in the same package where foo() is defined (fatherpackage):

      package fatherpackage;
      
      public class SomeClass
      {
          public void someMethod(Father f, Son s)
          {
              f.foo();
              s.foo();
          }
      }
      
    2. Inside a subclass, on the current instance via this or super:

      package sonpackage;
      
      public class Son extends Father
      {
          public void sonMethod()
          {
              this.foo();
              super.foo();
          }
      }
      
    3. On an reference whose type is the same class:

      package fatherpackage;
      
      public class Father
      {
          public void fatherMethod(Father f)
          {
              f.foo(); // valid even if foo() is private
          }
      }
      
      -------------------------------------------
      
      package sonpackage;
      
      public class Son extends Father
      {
          public void sonMethod(Son s)
          {
              s.foo();
          }
      }
      
    4. On an reference whose type is the parent class and it is inside the package where foo() is defined (fatherpackage) [This can be included inside context no. 1]:

      package fatherpackage;
      
      public class Son extends Father
      {
          public void sonMethod(Father f)
          {
              f.foo();
          }
      }
      
  • The following situations are not valid.

    1. On an reference whose type is the parent class and it is outside the package where foo() is defined (fatherpackage):

      package sonpackage;
      
      public class Son extends Father
      {
          public void sonMethod(Father f)
          {
              f.foo(); // compilation error
          }
      }
      
    2. A non-subclass inside a package of a subclass (A subclass inherits the protected members from its parent, and it makes them private to non-subclasses):

      package sonpackage;
      
      public class SomeClass
      {
          public void someMethod(Son s) throws Exception
          {
              s.foo(); // compilation error
          }
      }

How to check heap usage of a running JVM from the command line?

All procedure at once. Based on @Till Schäfer answer.

In KB...

jstat -gc $(ps axf | egrep -i "*/bin/java *" | egrep -v grep | awk '{print $1}') | tail -n 1 | awk '{split($0,a," "); sum=(a[3]+a[4]+a[6]+a[8]+a[10]); printf("%.2f KB\n",sum)}'

In MB...

jstat -gc $(ps axf | egrep -i "*/bin/java *" | egrep -v grep | awk '{print $1}') | tail -n 1 | awk '{split($0,a," "); sum=(a[3]+a[4]+a[6]+a[8]+a[10])/1024; printf("%.2f MB\n",sum)}'

[Ref.: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/jstat.html ]

Thanks!

NOTE: Works to OpenJDK!

FURTHER QUESTION: Wrong information?

If you check memory usage with the ps command, you will see that the java process consumes much more...

ps -eo size,pid,user,command --sort -size | egrep -i "*/bin/java *" | egrep -v grep | awk '{ hr=$1/1024 ; printf("%.2f MB ",hr) } { for ( x=4 ; x<=NF ; x++ ) { printf("%s ",$x) } print "" }' | cut -d "" -f2 | cut -d "-" -f1

UPDATE (2021-02-16):

According to the reference below (and @Till Schäfer comment) "ps can show total reserved memory from OS" (adapted) and "jstat can show used space of heap and stack" (adapted). So, we see a difference between what is pointed out by the ps command and the jstat command.

According to our understanding, the most "realistic" information would be the ps output since we will have an effective response of how much of the system's memory is compromised. The command jstat serves for a more detailed analysis regarding the java performance in the consumption of reserved memory from OS.

How to push both key and value into an Array in Jquery

This code

var title = news.title;
var link = news.link;
arr.push({title : link});

is not doing what you think it does. What gets pushed is a new object with a single member named "title" and with link as the value ... the actual title value is not used. To save an object with two fields you have to do something like

arr.push({title:title, link:link});

or with recent Javascript advances you can use the shortcut

arr.push({title, link}); // Note: comma "," and not colon ":"

If instead you want the key of the object to be the content of the variable title you can use

arr.push({[title]: link}); // Note that title has been wrapped in brackets

Execute Immediate within a stored procedure keeps giving insufficient priviliges error

Alternatively you can grant the user DROP_ANY_TABLE privilege if need be and the procedure will run as is without the need for any alteration. Dangerous maybe but depends what you're doing :)

How to set locale in DatePipe in Angular 2?

On app.module.ts add the following imports. There is a list of LOCALE options here.

import es from '@angular/common/locales/es';
import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
registerLocaleData(es);

Then add the provider

@NgModule({
  providers: [
    { provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: "es-ES" }, //your locale
  ]
})

Use pipes in html. Here is the angular documentation for this.

{{ dateObject | date: 'medium' }}

How to convert char* to wchar_t*?

Your problem has nothing to do with encodings, it's a simple matter of understanding basic C++. You are returning a pointer to a local variable from your function, which will have gone out of scope by the time anyone can use it, thus creating undefined behaviour (i.e. a programming error).

Follow this Golden Rule: "If you are using naked char pointers, you're Doing It Wrong. (Except for when you aren't.)"

I've previously posted some code to do the conversion and communicating the input and output in C++ std::string and std::wstring objects.

Removing element from array in component state

I believe referencing this.state inside of setState() is discouraged (State Updates May Be Asynchronous).

The docs recommend using setState() with a callback function so that prevState is passed in at runtime when the update occurs. So this is how it would look:

Using Array.prototype.filter without ES6

removeItem : function(index) {
  this.setState(function(prevState){
    return { data : prevState.data.filter(function(val, i) {
      return i !== index;
    })};
  });
}

Using Array.prototype.filter with ES6 Arrow Functions

removeItem(index) {
  this.setState((prevState) => ({
    data: prevState.data.filter((_, i) => i !== index)
  }));
}

Using immutability-helper

import update from 'immutability-helper'
...
removeItem(index) {
  this.setState((prevState) => ({
    data: update(prevState.data, {$splice: [[index, 1]]})
  }))
}

Using Spread

function removeItem(index) {
  this.setState((prevState) => ({
    data: [...prevState.data.slice(0,index), ...prevState.data.slice(index+1)]
  }))
}

Note that in each instance, regardless of the technique used, this.setState() is passed a callback, not an object reference to the old this.state;

how to use substr() function in jquery?

If you want to extract from a tag then

$('.dep_buttons').text().substr(0,25)

With the mouseover event,

$(this).text($(this).text().substr(0, 25));

The above will extract the text of a tag, then extract again assign it back.

OOP vs Functional Programming vs Procedural

All of them are good in their own ways - They're simply different approaches to the same problems.

In a purely procedural style, data tends to be highly decoupled from the functions that operate on it.

In an object oriented style, data tends to carry with it a collection of functions.

In a functional style, data and functions tend toward having more in common with each other (as in Lisp and Scheme) while offering more flexibility in terms of how functions are actually used. Algorithms tend also to be defined in terms of recursion and composition rather than loops and iteration.

Of course, the language itself only influences which style is preferred. Even in a pure-functional language like Haskell, you can write in a procedural style (though that is highly discouraged), and even in a procedural language like C, you can program in an object-oriented style (such as in the GTK+ and EFL APIs).

To be clear, the "advantage" of each paradigm is simply in the modeling of your algorithms and data structures. If, for example, your algorithm involves lists and trees, a functional algorithm may be the most sensible. Or, if, for example, your data is highly structured, it may make more sense to compose it as objects if that is the native paradigm of your language - or, it could just as easily be written as a functional abstraction of monads, which is the native paradigm of languages like Haskell or ML.

The choice of which you use is simply what makes more sense for your project and the abstractions your language supports.

Getting a random value from a JavaScript array

In my opinion, better than messing around with prototypes , or declaring it just in time, I prefer exposing it to window:

window.choice = function() {
  if (!this.length || this.length == 0) return;
  if (this.length == 1) return this[0];
  return this[Math.floor(Math.random()*this.length)];
}

Now anywhere on your app you call it like:

var rand = window.choice.call(array)

This way you can still use for(x in array) loop properly

How to assign multiple classes to an HTML container?

you need to put a dot between the class like

php delete a single file in directory

The script you downloaded lists the content of a specified folder. You probably put the unlink - call in one of the while-loops that list the files.

EDIT - Now that you posted your code:

echo '<a href="'.unlink($FileLink).'"><img src="images/icons/delete.gif"></a></td>';

Doing this calls the unlink-function each time the line is written, deleting your file. You have to write a link to a script that contains a delete function and pass some parameter that tells your script what to delete.

Example:

<a href="/path/to/script.php?delete='. $FileLink .'">delete</a>

You should not pass the path to a file this script and just delete it though, because malevolent being might use it to just delete everything or do other evil things.

From ggplot2 2.0.0 you can use the margin = argument of element_text() to change the distance between the axis title and the numbers. Set the values of the margin on top, right, bottom, and left side of the element.

ggplot(mpg, aes(cty, hwy)) + geom_point()+
  theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(t = 0, r = 20, b = 0, l = 0)))

margin can also be used for other element_text elements (see ?theme), such as axis.text.x, axis.text.y and title.

addition

in order to set the margin for axis titles when the axis has a different position (e.g., with scale_x_...(position = "top"), you'll need a different theme setting - e.g. axis.title.x.top. See https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/4343.

Which MIME type to use for a binary file that's specific to my program?

According to the spec RFC 2045 #Syntax of the Content-Type Header Field application/myappname is not allowed, but application/x-myappname is allowed and sounds most appropriate for you're application to me.

How can I read and parse CSV files in C++?

You could also take a look at capabilities of Qt library.

It has regular expressions support and QString class has nice methods, e.g. split() returning QStringList, list of strings obtained by splitting the original string with a provided delimiter. Should suffice for csv file..

To get a column with a given header name I use following: c++ inheritance Qt problem qstring

Read a file one line at a time in node.js?

there is a very nice module for reading a file line by line, it's called line-reader

with it you simply just write:

var lineReader = require('line-reader');

lineReader.eachLine('file.txt', function(line, last) {
  console.log(line);
  // do whatever you want with line...
  if(last){
    // or check if it's the last one
  }
});

you can even iterate the file with a "java-style" interface, if you need more control:

lineReader.open('file.txt', function(reader) {
  if (reader.hasNextLine()) {
    reader.nextLine(function(line) {
      console.log(line);
    });
  }
});

What is tail call optimization?

In a functional language, tail call optimization is as if a function call could return a partially evaluated expression as the result, which would then be evaluated by the caller.

f x = g x

f 6 reduces to g 6. So if the implementation could return g 6 as the result, and then call that expression it would save a stack frame.

Also

f x = if c x then g x else h x.

Reduces to f 6 to either g 6 or h 6. So if the implementation evaluates c 6 and finds it is true then it can reduce,

if true then g x else h x ---> g x

f x ---> h x

A simple non tail call optimization interpreter might look like this,

What is the best way to get all the divisors of a number?

I like Greg solution, but I wish it was more python like. I feel it would be faster and more readable; so after some time of coding I came out with this.

The first two functions are needed to make the cartesian product of lists. And can be reused whnever this problem arises. By the way, I had to program this myself, if anyone knows of a standard solution for this problem, please feel free to contact me.

"Factorgenerator" now returns a dictionary. And then the dictionary is fed into "divisors", who uses it to generate first a list of lists, where each list is the list of the factors of the form p^n with p prime. Then we make the cartesian product of those lists, and we finally use Greg' solution to generate the divisor. We sort them, and return them.

I tested it and it seem to be a bit faster than the previous version. I tested it as part of a bigger program, so I can't really say how much is it faster though.

C# importing class into another class doesn't work

MyClass is a class not a namespace. So this code is wrong:

using MyClass //THIS CODE IS NOT CORRECT

You should check the namespace of the MyClass (e.g: MyNamespace). Then call it in a proper way:

MyNamespace.MyClass myClass =new MyNamespace.MyClass();

How to set seekbar min and max value

Another solution to handle this case is creating a customized Seekbar, to get ride of converting the real value and SeekBar progress every time:

import android.content.Context
import android.util.AttributeSet
import android.widget.SeekBar

//
// Require SeekBar with range [Min, Max] and INCREMENT value,
// However, Android Seekbar starts from 0 and increment is 1 by default, Android supports min attr on API 26,
// To make a increment & range Seekbar, we can do the following conversion:
//
//     seekbar.setMax((Max - Min) / Increment)
//     seekbar.setProgress((actualValue - Min) / Increment)
//     seekbar.getProgress = Min + (progress * Increment)
//
// The RangeSeekBar is responsible for handling all these logic inside the class.

data class Range(val min: Int, val max: Int, private val defaultIncrement: Int) {
    val increment = if ((max - min) < defaultIncrement) 1 else defaultIncrement
}


internal fun Range.toSeekbarMaximum(): Int = (max - min) / increment


class RangeSeekBar: SeekBar, SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context)
    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs)

    var range: Range = Range(0, 100, 1)
        set(value) {
            field = value
            max = value.toSeekbarMaximum()
        }

    var value: Int = 0
        get() = range.min + progress * range.increment
        set(value) {
            progress = (value - range.min) / range.increment
            field = value
        }

    var onSeekBarChangeListenerDelegate: OnSeekBarChangeListener? = this

    override fun setOnSeekBarChangeListener(l: OnSeekBarChangeListener?) {
        onSeekBarChangeListenerDelegate = l
        super.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this)
    }

    override fun onProgressChanged(seekBar: SeekBar?, progress: Int, fromUser: Boolean) {
        onSeekBarChangeListenerDelegate?.onProgressChanged(seekBar, value, fromUser)
    }

    override fun onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar?) {
        onSeekBarChangeListenerDelegate?.onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar)
    }

    override fun onStopTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar?) {
        onSeekBarChangeListenerDelegate?.onStopTrackingTouch(seekBar)
    }
}

Then in your fragment,

    // init
    range_seekbar.range = Range(10, 110, 10)
    range_seekbar.value = 20

    // observe value changes
    range_seekbar.userChanges().skipInitialValue().subscribe {
        println("current value=$it")
    }

How do I set 'semi-bold' font via CSS? Font-weight of 600 doesn't make it look like the semi-bold I see in my Photoshop file

The practical way is setting font-family to a value that is the specific name of the semibold version, such as

font-family: "Myriad pro Semibold"

if that’s the name. (Personally I use my own font listing tool, which runs on Internet Explorer only to see the fonts in my system by names as usable in CSS.)

In this approach, font-weight is not needed (and probably better not set).

Web browsers have been poor at implementing font weights by the book: they largely cannot find the specific weight version, except bold. The workaround is to include the information in the font family name, even though this is not how things are supposed to work.

Testing with Segoe UI, which often exists in different font weight versions on Windows systems, I was able to make Internet Explorer 9 select the proper version when using the logical approach (of using the font family name Segoe UI and different font-weight values), but it failed on Firefox 9 and Chrome 16 (only normal and bold work). On all of these browsers, for example, setting font-family: Segoe UI Light works OK.

MongoDB or CouchDB - fit for production?

We are running CouchDB as a replacemant for MySQL for our shops (70.0000 items/shop, a total of 4 million attributes of all items, cross connections between items).

Our goals were:

  1. Easy replication from a master-db to several clients with different documents.

  2. Fast pre-calculated data like "how many parts do I have with this attribute and that filter, fitting to those conditions"

facts:

  1. Our shops are now running much faster than with MySQL (and mysql-database needed additionaly 1-3 days of pre-calculating (so updating was twice a month), making the data ready for product counting and filtering, CouchDB needs 5 hours, so we could update product data every night)
  2. Setting up (filtered) data distribution & backups to the shop nodes is fast and easy

but also:

  1. Understanding map/reduce and the limits of not having joins is quite hard
  2. No operation on data like "delete where" or "update where" without external programs
  3. Replication works well, unless there is a problem; then it's really hard to find out what was the reason (for beginners)
  4. The installation of CouchDB without binaries (yes there are a some in the wild, but not for every OS/version) could be hard, if you are not a Linux geek. But the CouchDB Community is helpful (#couchdb), and luckily there are companies out there (cloudant, iriscouch) that offer services from free to big business.
  5. CouchDB is moving forward, so there are a lot of changes (improvements) going on that might change they way you work. But basic things remain stable.

As a result: MySQL as a database for data creation and maintaining is reliable and easy to understand and handle. I think we will not change this. But I also don't want to miss the power of CouchDB views and the ease of replication setup.

Production couches sometimes caused trouble after months of work due to misconfiguration and forgotten logrotates (view building takes too long or hangs, replication stops), but never lost data, and always could be easily reset.

json_encode sparse PHP array as JSON array, not JSON object

You are observing this behaviour because your array is not sequential - it has keys 0 and 2, but doesn't have 1 as a key.

Just having numeric indexes isn't enough. json_encode will only encode your PHP array as a JSON array if your PHP array is sequential - that is, if its keys are 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

You can reindex your array sequentially using the array_values function to get the behaviour you want. For example, the code below works successfully in your use case:

echo json_encode(array_values($input)).

How do I run two commands in one line in Windows CMD?

A number of processing symbols can be used when running several commands on the same line, and may lead to processing redirection in some cases, altering output in other case, or just fail. One important case is placing on the same line commands that manipulate variables.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set count=0
set "count=1" & echo %count% !count!

0 1

As you see in the above example, when commands using variables are placed on the same line, you must use delayed expansion to update your variable values. If your variable is indexed, use CALL command with %% modifiers to update its value on the same line:

set "i=5" & set "arg!i!=MyFile!i!" & call echo path!i!=%temp%\%%arg!i!%%

path5=C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\MyFile5

Failed to open/create the internal network Vagrant on Windows10

My solution was updating VirtualBox.

I first ran into this issue after fresh install of Docker toolbox(v1.12.5) on my Windows 8.1. What worked for me was update of VirtualBox. Then I had the same problem after some Windows Update, and updating VirtualBox fixed the issue again.

Ansible playbook shell output

This is a start may be :

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - shell: ps -eo pcpu,user,args | sort -r -k1 | head -n5
      register: ps

    - local_action: command echo item

Compact form for short commands (no 'echo'):

IF "%ID%"=="0" ( ... & ... & ... ) ELSE ^
IF "%ID%"=="1" ( ... ) ELSE ^
IF "%ID%"=="2" ( ... ) ELSE ^
REM default case...

After ^ must be an immediate line end, no spaces.

Matching an empty input box using CSS

In modern browsers you can use :placeholder-shown to target the empty input (not to be confused with ::placeholder).

input:placeholder-shown {
    border: 1px solid red; /* Red border only if the input is empty */
}

regex to remove all text before a character

Variant of Tim's one, good only on some implementations of Regex: ^.*?_

var subjectString = "3.04_somename.jpg";
var resultString = Regex.Replace(subjectString,
    @"^   # Match start of string
    .*?   # Lazily match any character, trying to stop when the next condition becomes true
    _     # Match the underscore", "", RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);

How would you do a "not in" query with LINQ?

You want the Except operator.

var answer = list1.Except(list2);

Better explanation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/charlie/linq-farm-more-on-set-operators

NOTE: This technique works best for primitive types only, since you have to implement an IEqualityComparer to use the Except method with complex types.

How can I give eclipse more memory than 512M?

I've had a lot of problems trying to get Eclipse to accept as much memory as I'd like it to be able to use (between 2 and 4 gigs for example).

Open eclipse.ini in the Eclipse installation directory. You should be able to change the memory sizes after -vmargs up to 1024 without a problem up to some maximum value that's dependent on your system. Here's that section on my Linux box:

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

And here's that section on my Windows box:

-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m

But, I've failed at setting it higher than 1024 megs. If anybody knows how to make that work, I'd love to know.

EDIT: 32bit version of juno seems to not accept more than Xmx1024m where the 64 bit version accept 2048.

EDIT: Nick's post contains some great links that explain two different things:

  • The problem is largely dependent on your system and the amount of contiguous free memory available, and
  • By using javaw.exe (on Windows), you may be able to get a larger allocated block of memory.

I have 8 gigs of Ram and can't set -Xmx to more than 1024 megs of ram, even when a minimal amount of programs are loaded and both windows/linux report between 4 and 5 gigs of free ram.

How to get the current directory of the cmdlet being executed

Yes, that should work. But if you need to see the absolute path, this is all you need:

(Get-Item .).FullName

Why should you use strncpy instead of strcpy?

strncpy fills the destination up with '\0' for the size of source, eventhough the size of the destination is smaller....

manpage:

If the length of src is less than n, strncpy() pads the remainder of dest with null bytes.

and not only the remainder...also after this until n characters is reached. And thus you get an overflow... (see the man page implementation)

push() a two-dimensional array

You have to loop through all rows, and add the missing rows and columns. For the already existing rows, you loop from c to cols, for the new rows, first push an empty array to outer array, then loop from 0 to cols:

var r = 3; //start from rows 3
var c = 5; //start from col 5

var rows = 8;
var cols = 7;

for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
  var start;
  if (i < r) {
    start =  c;
  } else {
    start = 0;
    myArray.push([]);
  }
  for (var j = start; j < cols; j++) {
        myArray[i].push(0);
    }
}
