Best practice to look up Java Enum

Apache Commons Lang 3 contais the class EnumUtils. If you aren't using Apache Commons in your projects, you're doing it wrong. You are reinventing the wheel!

There's a dozen of cool methods that we could use without throws an Exception. For example:

Gets the enum for the class, returning null if not found.

This method differs from Enum.valueOf in that it does not throw an exceptionfor an invalid enum name and performs case insensitive matching of the name.

EnumUtils.getEnumIgnoreCase(SeasonEnum.class, season);

Missing include "bits/c++config.h" when cross compiling 64 bit program on 32 bit in Ubuntu

On my 64 bit system I noticed that the following directory existed:

/usr/include/c++/4.4/x86_64-linux-gnu/32/bits

It would then make sense that on my 32 bit system that had been setup for 64bit cross compiling there should be a corresponding directory like:

/usr/include/c++/4.4/i686-linux-gnu/64/bits

I double checked and this directory did not exist. Running g++ with the verbose parameter showed that the compiler was actually looking for something in this location:

The error regarding the ignoring nonexistent directory was the clue. Unfortunately, I still don't know what package I need to install to have this directory show up so I just copied the /usr/include/c++/4.4/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits directory from my 64 bit machine to /usr/include/c++/4.4/i686-linux-gnu/64/bits on my 32 machine.

Now compiling with just the -m64 works correctly. The major drawback is that this is still not the correct way to do things and I am guessing the next time Update Manager installs and update to g++ things may break.

Share data between html pages

why don't you store your values in HTML5 storage objects such as sessionStorage or localStorage, visit HTML5 Storage Doc to get more details. Using this you can store intermediate values temporarily/permanently locally and then access your values later.

To store values for a session:

sessionStorage.getItem('label')
sessionStorage.setItem('label', 'value')

or more permanently:

localStorage.getItem('label')
localStorage.setItem('label', 'value')

So you can store (temporarily) form data between multiple pages using HTML5 storage objects which you can even retain after reload..

What is the Swift equivalent of isEqualToString in Objective-C?

Use == operator instead of isEqual

Comparing Strings

Swift provides three ways to compare String values: string equality, prefix equality, and suffix equality.

String Equality

Two String values are considered equal if they contain exactly the same characters in the same order:

let quotation = "We're a lot alike, you and I."
let sameQuotation = "We're a lot alike, you and I."
if quotation == sameQuotation {
    println("These two strings are considered equal")
}
// prints "These two strings are considered equal"
.
.
.

How to write log file in c#?

public static void WriteLog(string strLog)
    {
        StreamWriter log;
        FileStream fileStream = null;
        DirectoryInfo logDirInfo = null;
        FileInfo logFileInfo;

        string logFilePath = "C:\\Logs\\";

        log.WriteLine(strLog);
        log.Close();

npm install won't install devDependencies

Check the NPM docs for install

With the --production flag (or when the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production), npm will not install modules listed in devDependencies."

The --only={prod[uction]|dev[elopment]} argument will cause either only devDependencies or only non-devDependencies to be installed regardless of the NODE_ENV."

Have you tried

npm install --only=dev

If you are worried that your package.json might be incorrect, best thing to do is this. Create a new folder, and run:

npm init --yes

Then:

npm install --save-dev brunch@^2.0.4
npm install --save-dev cssnano-brunch@^1.1.5
npm install --save-dev javascript-brunch@^1.8.0
npm install --save-dev sass-brunch@^1.9.2
npm install --save-dev uglify-js-brunch@^1.7.8
npm install jquery@^2.1.4 --save

And you should be good to go! Otherwise, will keep posting other options.

Check your npm configuration:

npm config list

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, and npmrc files. So check environment variables, and the npmrc file.

Still failing?

Ok, create a new folder, ideally somewhere else on your filesystem. ie. not in same folder hierarchy. For instance, C:\myNewFolder - the closer to the base C: drive the better.

Then run:

npm init --yes

Now run:

npm install underscore --save

and finally:

npm install mocha --save-dev

Does everything work as expected?

What I am trying to do is understand whether your problem is global, or something local to the previous folder and dependencies.

Boolean operators ( &&, -a, ||, -o ) in Bash

-a and -o are the older and/or operators for the test command. && and || are and/or operators for the shell. So (assuming an old shell) in your first case,

[ "$1" = 'yes' ] && [ -r $2.txt ]

The shell is evaluating the and condition. In your second case,

[ "$1" = 'yes' -a $2 -lt 3 ]

The test command (or builtin test) is evaluating the and condition.

Of course in all modern or semi-modern shells, the test command is built in to the shell, so there really isn't any or much difference. In modern shells, the if statement can be written:

[[ $1 == yes && -r $2.txt ]]

Which is more similar to modern programming languages and thus is more readable.

Find ALL tweets from a user (not just the first 3,200)

I've been in this (Twitter) industry for a long time and witnessed lots of changes in Twitter API and documentation. I would like to clarify one thing to you. There is no way to surpass 3200 tweets limit. Twitter doesn't provide this data even in its new premium API.

The only way someone can surpass this limit is by saving the tweets of an individual Twitter user.

There are tools available which claim to have a wide database and provide more than 3200 tweets. Few of them are followersanalysis.com, keyhole.co which I know of.

Manage toolbar's navigation and back button from fragment in android

Add a toolbar to your xml

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Fragment title"/>

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Then inside your onCreateView method in the Fragment:

Toolbar toolbar = view.findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_back_button);
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
         getActivity().onBackPressed();
    }
});

Android emulator failed to allocate memory 8

This error fires if you set the AVD RAM to anything that is larger then the single largest block of continuous memory the emulator is able to allocate. Close anything RAM heavy, start your emulator, start everything else you need. In a previous answer I have limited this to x86 images with IntelHAXM, but this actually is the case for all types of emulator instances.

Get all non-unique values (i.e.: duplicate/more than one occurrence) in an array

ES5 only (i.e., it needs a filter() polyfill for IE8 and below):

var arrayToFilter = [ 4, 5, 5, 5, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3 ];

arrayToFilter.
    sort().
    filter( function(me,i,arr){
       return (i===0) || ( me !== arr[i-1] );
    });

Cannot resolve method 'getSupportFragmentManager ( )' inside Fragment

you should use

getActivity.getSupportFragmentManager() like
//in my fragment 
SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment)    
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);

I have also this issues but resolved after adding getActivity() before getSupportFragmentManager.

Excel formula to get week number in month (having Monday)

Jonathan from the ExcelCentral forums suggests:

=WEEKNUM(A1,2)-WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),2)+1 

This formula extracts the week of the year [...] and then subtracts it from the week of the first day in the month to get the week of the month. You can change the day that weeks begin by changing the second argument of both WEEKNUM functions (set to 2 [for Monday] in the above example). For weeks beginning on Sunday, use:

=WEEKNUM(A1,1)-WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),1)+1

For weeks beginning on Tuesday, use:

=WEEKNUM(A1,12)-WEEKNUM(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1),12)+1

etc.

I like it better because it's using the built in week calculation functionality of Excel (WEEKNUM).

How to schedule a periodic task in Java?

Have you tried Spring Scheduler using annotations ?

@Scheduled(cron = "0 0 0/8 ? * * *")
public void scheduledMethodNoReturnValue(){
    //body can be another method call which returns some value.
}

you can do this with xml as well.

 <task:scheduled-tasks>
   <task:scheduled ref = "reference" method = "methodName" cron = "<cron expression here> -or- ${<cron expression from property files>}"
 <task:scheduled-tasks>

How to avoid installing "Unlimited Strength" JCE policy files when deploying an application?

For our application, we had a client server architecture and we only allowed decrypting/encrypting data in the server level. Hence the JCE files are only needed there.

We had another problem where we needed to update a security jar on the client machines, through JNLP, it overwrites the libraries in${java.home}/lib/security/ and the JVM on first run.

That made it work.

BehaviorSubject vs Observable?

The Observable object represents a push based collection.

The Observer and Observable interfaces provide a generalized mechanism for push-based notification, also known as the observer design pattern. The Observable object represents the object that sends notifications (the provider); the Observer object represents the class that receives them (the observer).

The Subject class inherits both Observable and Observer, in the sense that it is both an observer and an observable. You can use a subject to subscribe all the observers, and then subscribe the subject to a backend data source

var subject = new Rx.Subject();

var subscription = subject.subscribe(
    function (x) { console.log('onNext: ' + x); },
    function (e) { console.log('onError: ' + e.message); },
    function () { console.log('onCompleted'); });

subject.onNext(1);
// => onNext: 1

subject.onNext(2);
// => onNext: 2

subject.onCompleted();
// => onCompleted

subscription.dispose();

Send array with Ajax to PHP script

If you have been trying to send a one dimentional array and jquery was converting it to comma separated values >:( then follow the code below and an actual array will be submitted to php and not all the comma separated bull**it.

Say you have to attach a single dimentional array named myvals.

jQuery('#someform').on('submit', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var data = $(this).serializeArray();

    var myvals = [21, 52, 13, 24, 75]; // This array could come from anywhere you choose 
    for (i = 0; i < myvals.length; i++) {
        data.push({
            name: "myvals[]", // These blank empty brackets are imp!
            value: myvals[i]
        });
    }

jQuery.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: jQuery(this).attr('action'),
    dataType: "json",
    data: data, // You have to just pass our data variable plain and simple no Rube Goldberg sh*t.
    success: function (r) {
...

Now inside php when you do this

print_r($_POST);

You will get ..

Array
(
    [someinputinsidetheform] => 023
    [anotherforminput] => 111
    [myvals] => Array
        (
            [0] => 21
            [1] => 52
            [2] => 13
            [3] => 24
            [4] => 75
        )
)

Pardon my language, but there are hell lot of Rube-Goldberg solutions scattered all over the web and specially on SO, but none of them are elegant or solve the problem of actually posting a one dimensional array to php via ajax post. Don't forget to spread this solution.

Can I try/catch a warning?

If dns_get_record() fails, it should return FALSE, so you can suppress the warning with @ and then check the return value.

How can I multiply all items in a list together with Python?

Numpy has the prod() function that returns the product of a list, or in this case since it's numpy, it's the product of an array over a given axis:

import numpy
a = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
b = numpy.prod(a)

...or else you can just import numpy.prod():

from numpy import prod
a = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
b = prod(a)

Fixing slow initial load for IIS

I was getting a consistent 15 second delay on the first request after 4 minutes of inactivity. My problem was that my app was using Windows Integrated Authentication to SQL Server and the service profile was in a different domain than the server. This caused a cross-domain authentication from IIS to SQL upon app initialization - and this was the real source of my delay. I changed to using a SQL login instead of windows authentication. The delay was immediately gone. I still have all the app initialization settings in place to help improve performance but they may have not been needed at all in my case.

Python, Unicode, and the Windows console

Update: Python 3.6 implements PEP 528: Change Windows console encoding to UTF-8: the default console on Windows will now accept all Unicode characters. Internally, it uses the same Unicode API as the win-unicode-console package mentioned below. print(unicode_string) should just work now.


I get a UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character... error.

The error means that Unicode characters that you are trying to print can't be represented using the current (chcp) console character encoding. The codepage is often 8-bit encoding such as cp437 that can represent only ~0x100 characters from ~1M Unicode characters:

>>> u"\N{EURO SIGN}".encode('cp437')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u20ac' in position 0:
character maps to 

I assume this is because the Windows console does not accept Unicode-only characters. What's the best way around this?

Windows console does accept Unicode characters and it can even display them (BMP only) if the corresponding font is configured. WriteConsoleW() API should be used as suggested in @Daira Hopwood's answer. It can be called transparently i.e., you don't need to and should not modify your scripts if you use win-unicode-console package:

T:\> py -mpip install win-unicode-console
T:\> py -mrun your_script.py

See What's the deal with Python 3.4, Unicode, different languages and Windows?

Is there any way I can make Python automatically print a ? instead of failing in this situation?

If it is enough to replace all unencodable characters with ? in your case then you could set PYTHONIOENCODING envvar:

T:\> set PYTHONIOENCODING=:replace
T:\> python3 -c "print(u'[\N{EURO SIGN}]')"
[?]

In Python 3.6+, the encoding specified by PYTHONIOENCODING envvar is ignored for interactive console buffers unless PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSIOENCODING envvar is set to a non-empty string.

Does Java SE 8 have Pairs or Tuples?

Eclipse Collections has Pair and all combinations of primitive/object Pairs (for all eight primitives).

The Tuples factory can create instances of Pair, and the PrimitiveTuples factory can be used to create all combinations of primitive/object pairs.

We added these before Java 8 was released. They were useful to implement key/value Iterators for our primitive maps, which we also support in all primitive/object combinations.

If you're willing to add the extra library overhead, you can use Stuart's accepted solution and collect the results into a primitive IntList to avoid boxing. We added new methods in Eclipse Collections 9.0 to allow for Int/Long/Double collections to be created from Int/Long/Double Streams.

IntList list = IntLists.mutable.withAll(intStream);

Note: I am a committer for Eclipse Collections.

Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

I have melted @Timmmm answer and @Manuel. If you do this solution, you will not get a Run Out Of Memory Exception.

This method retrieves the image orientation:

private static final int ROTATION_DEGREES = 90;
// This means 512 px
private static final Integer MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION = 512;

public static int getOrientation(Uri photoUri) throws IOException {

    ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(photoUri.getPath());
    int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);

    switch (orientation) {
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
            orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES;
            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
            orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES * 2;
            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
            orientation = ROTATION_DEGREES * 3;
            break;
        default:
            // Default case, image is not rotated
            orientation = 0;
    }

    return orientation;
}

Therefore, you would use this method to resize image before load it on memory. In that way, you will not get a Memory Exception.

public static Bitmap getCorrectlyOrientedImage(Context context, Uri photoUri) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
    BitmapFactory.Options dbo = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    dbo.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, dbo);
    is.close();

    int rotatedWidth, rotatedHeight;
    int orientation = getOrientation(photoUri);

    if (orientation == 90 || orientation == 270) {
        rotatedWidth = dbo.outHeight;
        rotatedHeight = dbo.outWidth;
    } else {
        rotatedWidth = dbo.outWidth;
        rotatedHeight = dbo.outHeight;
    }

    Bitmap srcBitmap;
    is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
    if (rotatedWidth > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION || rotatedHeight > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION) {
        float widthRatio = ((float) rotatedWidth) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
        float heightRatio = ((float) rotatedHeight) / ((float) MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
        float maxRatio = Math.max(widthRatio, heightRatio);

        // Create the bitmap from file
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inSampleSize = (int) maxRatio;
        srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
    } else {
        srcBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
    }
    is.close();

    // if the orientation is not 0, we have to do a rotation.
    if (orientation > 0) {
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postRotate(orientation);

        srcBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(srcBitmap, 0, 0, srcBitmap.getWidth(),
                srcBitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true);
    }

    return srcBitmap;
}

This works perfectly for me. I hope this helps somebody else

Run JavaScript code on window close or page refresh?

The event is called beforeunload, so you can assign a function to window.onbeforeunload.

CMake complains "The CXX compiler identification is unknown"

Your /home/gnu/bin/c++ seem to require additional flag to link things properly and CMake doesn't know about that.

To use /usr/bin/c++ as your compiler run cmake with -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/c++.

Also, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable sets destination dir where your project' files should be installed. It has nothing to do with CMake installation prefix and CMake itself already know this.

Difference between number and integer datatype in oracle dictionary views

This is what I got from oracle documentation, but it is for oracle 10g release 2:

When you define a NUMBER variable, you can specify its precision (p) and scale (s) so that it is sufficiently, but not unnecessarily, large. Precision is the number of significant digits. Scale can be positive or negative. Positive scale identifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point; negative scale identifies the number of digits to the left of the decimal point that can be rounded up or down.

The NUMBER data type is supported by Oracle Database standard libraries and operates the same way as it does in SQL. It is used for dimensions and surrogates when a text or INTEGER data type is not appropriate. It is typically assigned to variables that are not used for calculations (like forecasts and aggregations), and it is used for variables that must match the rounding behavior of the database or require a high degree of precision. When deciding whether to assign the NUMBER data type to a variable, keep the following facts in mind in order to maximize performance:

  • Analytic workspace calculations on NUMBER variables is slower than other numerical data types because NUMBER values are calculated in software (for accuracy) rather than in hardware (for speed).
  • When data is fetched from an analytic workspace to a relational column that has the NUMBER data type, performance is best when the data already has the NUMBER data type in the analytic workspace because a conversion step is not required.

How do you declare string constants in C?

If you want a "const string" like your question says, I would really go for the version you stated in your question:

/* first version */
const char *HELLO2 = "Howdy";

Particularly, I would avoid:

/* second version */
const char HELLO2[] = "Howdy";

Reason: The problem with second version is that compiler will make a copy of the entire string "Howdy", PLUS that string is modifiable (so not really const).

On the other hand, first version is a const string accessible by const pointer HELLO2, and there is no way anybody can modify it.

PowerShell says "execution of scripts is disabled on this system."

Also running this command before the script also solves the issue:

Return index of greatest value in an array

If you are utilizing underscore, you can use this nice short one-liner:

_.indexOf(arr, _.max(arr))

It will first find the value of the largest item in the array, in this case 22. Then it will return the index of where 22 is within the array, in this case 2.

Calculating distance between two geographic locations

I wanted to implement myself this, i ended up reading the Wikipedia page on Great-circle distance formula, because no code was readable enough for me to use as basis.

C# example

    /// <summary>
    /// Calculates the distance between two locations using the Great Circle Distance algorithm
    /// <see cref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance"/>
    /// </summary>

    /// <returns></returns>
    private static double DistanceBetween(GeoLocation first, GeoLocation second)
    {
        double longitudeDifferenceInRadians = Math.Abs(ToRadians(first.Longitude) - ToRadians(second.Longitude));

        double centralAngleBetweenLocationsInRadians = Math.Acos(
            Math.Sin(ToRadians(first.Latitude)) * Math.Sin(ToRadians(second.Latitude)) +
            Math.Cos(ToRadians(first.Latitude)) * Math.Cos(ToRadians(second.Latitude)) *
            Math.Cos(longitudeDifferenceInRadians));

        const double earthRadiusInMeters = 6357 * 1000;

        return earthRadiusInMeters * centralAngleBetweenLocationsInRadians;
    }

    private static double ToRadians(double degrees)

Is there a way I can capture my iPhone screen as a video?

Just for anyone who is still looking for solutions:

The RecordMyScreen jailbreak app is opensourced and works fine even on non-jailbreak devices if we have the developer license. You can have a look at the source: https://github.com/coolstar/RecordMyScreen

Spring @Transactional read-only propagation

First of all, since Spring doesn't do persistence itself, it cannot specify what readOnly should exactly mean. This attribute is only a hint to the provider, the behavior depends on, in this case, Hibernate.

If you specify readOnly as true, the flush mode will be set as FlushMode.NEVER in the current Hibernate Session preventing the session from committing the transaction.

Furthermore, setReadOnly(true) will be called on the JDBC Connection, which is also a hint to the underlying database. If your database supports it (most likely it does), this has basically the same effect as FlushMode.NEVER, but it's stronger since you cannot even flush manually.

Now let's see how transaction propagation works.

If you don't explicitly set readOnly to true, you will have read/write transactions. Depending on the transaction attributes (like REQUIRES_NEW), sometimes your transaction is suspended at some point, a new one is started and eventually committed, and after that the first transaction is resumed.

OK, we're almost there. Let's see what brings readOnly into this scenario.

If a method in a read/write transaction calls a method that requires a readOnly transaction, the first one should be suspended, because otherwise a flush/commit would happen at the end of the second method.

Conversely, if you call a method from within a readOnly transaction that requires read/write, again, the first one will be suspended, since it cannot be flushed/committed, and the second method needs that.

In the readOnly-to-readOnly, and the read/write-to-read/write cases the outer transaction doesn't need to be suspended (unless you specify propagation otherwise, obviously).

How to discard all changes made to a branch?

pip broke. how to fix DistributionNotFound error?

I had this problem because I installed python/pip with a weird ~/.pydistutils.cfg that I didn't remember writing. Deleted it, reinstalled (with pybrew), and everything was fine.

Add spaces between the characters of a string in Java?

This would work for inserting any character any particular position in your String.

public static String insertCharacterForEveryNDistance(int distance, String original, char c){
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    char[] charArrayOfOriginal = original.toCharArray();
    for(int ch = 0 ; ch < charArrayOfOriginal.length ; ch++){
        if(ch % distance == 0)
            sb.append(c).append(charArrayOfOriginal[ch]);
        else
            sb.append(charArrayOfOriginal[ch]);
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

Then call it like this

String result = InsertSpaces.insertCharacterForEveryNDistance(1, "5434567845678965", ' ');
        System.out.println(result);

image processing to improve tesseract OCR accuracy

Reading text from image documents using any OCR engine have many issues in order get good accuracy. There is no fixed solution to all the cases but here are a few things which should be considered to improve OCR results.

1) Presence of noise due to poor image quality / unwanted elements/blobs in the background region. This requires some pre-processing operations like noise removal which can be easily done using gaussian filter or normal median filter methods. These are also available in OpenCV.

2) Wrong orientation of image: Because of wrong orientation OCR engine fails to segment the lines and words in image correctly which gives the worst accuracy.

3) Presence of lines: While doing word or line segmentation OCR engine sometimes also tries to merge the words and lines together and thus processing wrong content and hence giving wrong results. There are other issues also but these are the basic ones.

This post OCR application is an example case where some image pre-preocessing and post processing on OCR result can be applied to get better OCR accuracy.

Write to custom log file from a Bash script

I did it by using a filter. Most linux systems use rsyslog these days. The config files are located at /etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d.

Whenever I run the command logger -t SRI some message, I want "some message" to only show up in /var/log/sri.log.

To do this I added the file /etc/rsyslog.d/00-sri.conf with the following content.

# Filter all messages whose tag starts with SRI
# Note that 'isequal, "SRI:"' or 'isequal "SRI"' will not work.
#
:syslogtag, startswith, "SRI" /var/log/sri.log

# The stop command prevents this message from getting processed any further.
# Thus the message will not show up in /var/log/messages.
#
& stop

Then restart the rsyslogd service:

systemctl restart rsyslog.service

Here is a shell session showing the results:

[root@rpm-server html]# logger -t SRI Hello World!
[root@rpm-server html]# cat /var/log/sri.log
Jun  5 10:33:01 rpm-server SRI[11785]: Hello World!
[root@rpm-server html]#
[root@rpm-server html]# # see that nothing shows up in /var/log/messages
[root@rpm-server html]# tail -10 /var/log/messages | grep SRI
[root@rpm-server html]#

Jenkins pipeline if else not working

your first try is using declarative pipelines, and the second working one is using scripted pipelines. you need to enclose steps in a steps declaration, and you can't use if as a top-level step in declarative, so you need to wrap it in a script step. here's a working declarative version:

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('test') {
            steps {
                sh 'echo hello'
            }
        }
        stage('test1') {
            steps {
                sh 'echo $TEST'
            }
        }
        stage('test3') {
            steps {
                script {
                    if (env.BRANCH_NAME == 'master') {
                        echo 'I only execute on the master branch'
                    } else {
                        echo 'I execute elsewhere'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

you can simplify this and potentially avoid the if statement (as long as you don't need the else) by using "when". See "when directive" at https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/. you can also validate jenkinsfiles using the jenkins rest api. it's super sweet. have fun with declarative pipelines in jenkins!

Bootstrap carousel resizing image

Use this code to set height of the image slider to the full screen / upto 100 view port height. This will helpful when using bootstrap carousel theme slider. I face some issue with height the i use following classes to set image width 100% & height 100vh.

<img class="d-block w-100" src="" alt="" > use this class in image tags & write following css code in style tags or style.css file

.carousel-inner > .carousel-item > img {
  height: 100vh;
}

In Visual Basic how do you create a block comment

There is no block comment in VB.NET.

You need to use a ' in front of every line you want to comment out.

In Visual Studio you can use the keyboard shortcuts that will comment/uncomment the selected lines for you:

Ctrl + K, C to comment

Ctrl + K, U to uncomment

Disallow Twitter Bootstrap modal window from closing

You can disable the background's click-to-close behavior and make this the default for all your modals by adding this JavaScript to your page (make sure it is executed after jQuery and Bootstrap JS are loaded):

$(function() {
    $.fn.modal.Constructor.DEFAULTS.backdrop = 'static';
});

Compare object instances for equality by their attributes

Below works (in my limited testing) by doing deep compare between two object hierarchies. In handles various cases including the cases when objects themselves or their attributes are dictionaries.

def deep_comp(o1:Any, o2:Any)->bool:
    # NOTE: dict don't have __dict__
    o1d = getattr(o1, '__dict__', None)
    o2d = getattr(o2, '__dict__', None)

    # if both are objects
    if o1d is not None and o2d is not None:
        # we will compare their dictionaries
        o1, o2 = o1.__dict__, o2.__dict__

    if o1 is not None and o2 is not None:
        # if both are dictionaries, we will compare each key
        if isinstance(o1, dict) and isinstance(o2, dict):
            for k in set().union(o1.keys() ,o2.keys()):
                if k in o1 and k in o2:
                    if not deep_comp(o1[k], o2[k]):
                        return False
                else:
                    return False # some key missing
            return True
    # mismatched object types or both are scalers, or one or both None
    return o1 == o2

This is a very tricky code so please add any cases that might not work for you in comments.

Batch Renaming of Files in a Directory

If you don't mind using regular expressions, then this function would give you much power in renaming files:

import re, glob, os

def renamer(files, pattern, replacement):
    for pathname in glob.glob(files):
        basename= os.path.basename(pathname)
        new_filename= re.sub(pattern, replacement, basename)
        if new_filename != basename:
            os.rename(
              pathname,
              os.path.join(os.path.dirname(pathname), new_filename))

So in your example, you could do (assuming it's the current directory where the files are):

renamer("*.doc", r"^(.*)\.doc$", r"new(\1).doc")

but you could also roll back to the initial filenames:

renamer("*.doc", r"^new\((.*)\)\.doc", r"\1.doc")

and more.

Export to CSV via PHP

I recommend parsecsv-for-php to get around a number any issues with nested newlines and quotes.

How to initialize a private static const map in C++?

A different approach to the problem:

struct A {
    static const map<int, string> * singleton_map() {
        static map<int, string>* m = NULL;
        if (!m) {
            m = new map<int, string>;
            m[42] = "42"
            // ... other initializations
        }
        return m;
    }

    // rest of the class
}

This is more efficient, as there is no one-type copy from stack to heap (including constructor, destructors on all elements). Whether this matters or not depends on your use case. Does not matter with strings! (but you may or may not find this version "cleaner")

conflicting types error when compiling c program using gcc

You have to declare your functions before main()

(or declare the function prototypes before main())

As it is, the compiler sees my_print (my_string); in main() as a function declaration.

Move your functions above main() in the file, or put:

void my_print (char *);
void my_print2 (char *);

Above main() in the file.

printf() formatting for hex

You could always use "%p" in order to display 8 bit hex numbers.

int main (void)
{
    uint8_t a;
    uint32_t b;
    a=15;
    b=a<<28;
    printf("%p", b);
    return 0;
}

Output:

0xf0000000

How to create a file in Ruby

You can also use constants instead of strings to specify the mode you want. The benefit is if you make a typo in a constant name, your program will raise an runtime exception.

The constants are File::RDONLY or File::WRONLY or File::CREAT. You can also combine them if you like.

Full description of file open modes on ruby-doc.org

Multiple values in single-value context

Yes, there is.

Surprising, huh? You can get a specific value from a multiple return using a simple mute function:

package main

import "fmt"
import "strings"

func µ(a ...interface{}) []interface{} {
    return a
}

type A struct {
    B string
    C func()(string)
}

func main() {
    a := A {
        B:strings.TrimSpace(µ(E())[1].(string)),
        C:µ(G())[0].(func()(string)),
    }

    fmt.Printf ("%s says %s\n", a.B, a.C())
}

func E() (bool, string) {
    return false, "F"
}

func G() (func()(string), bool) {
    return func() string { return "Hello" }, true
}

https://play.golang.org/p/IwqmoKwVm-

Notice how you select the value number just like you would from a slice/array and then the type to get the actual value.

You can read more about the science behind that from this article. Credits to the author.

jQuery SVG vs. Raphael

Raphael is definitely easier to set up and get going, but note that there are ways of expressing things in SVG that are not possible in Raphael. As noted above there are no "groups". This implies that you can't implement layers of Coordinate Transfomations. Instead there is only one coordinate transform available.

If your design depends on nested coordinate transforms, Raphael is not for you.

How to delete all records from table in sqlite with Android?

Here is simple way to delete:

public void deleteItem(Item item) {
SQLiteDatabase db = getWritableDatabase();
String whereClause = "id=?";
String whereArgs[] = {item.id.toString()};
db.delete("Items", whereClause, whereArgs);
}

Here whereClause is optional, passing null will delete all rows in table. delete function will return number of affected row if whereClause passed otherwise will return 0.

Important Note: If you want to remove all rows and require count of deleted ones also then pass 1 as whereClause.

how to read System environment variable in Spring applicationContext

In your bean definition, make sure to include "searchSystemEnvironment" and set it to "true". And if you're using it to build a path to a file, specify it as a file:/// url.

So for example, if you have a config file located in

/testapp/config/my.app.config.properties

then set an environment variable like so:

MY_ENV_VAR_PATH=/testapp/config

and your app can load the file using a bean definition like this:

e.g.

<bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
    <property name="searchSystemEnvironment" value="true" />
    <property name="searchContextAttributes" value="true" />
    <property name="contextOverride" value="true" />
    <property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true" />
    <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>file:///${MY_ENV_VAR_PATH}/my.app.config.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

How to dump a table to console?

As previously mentioned, you have to write it. Here is my humble version: (super basic one)

function tprint (t, s)
    for k, v in pairs(t) do
        local kfmt = '["' .. tostring(k) ..'"]'
        if type(k) ~= 'string' then
            kfmt = '[' .. k .. ']'
        end
        local vfmt = '"'.. tostring(v) ..'"'
        if type(v) == 'table' then
            tprint(v, (s or '')..kfmt)
        else
            if type(v) ~= 'string' then
                vfmt = tostring(v)
            end
            print(type(t)..(s or '')..kfmt..' = '..vfmt)
        end
    end
end

example:

local mytbl = { ['1']="a", 2, 3, b="c", t={d=1} }
tprint(mytbl)

output (Lua 5.0):

table[1] = 2
table[2] = 3
table["1"] = "a"
table["t"]["d"] = 1
table["b"] = "c"

What is @RenderSection in asp.net MVC

If

(1) you have a _Layout.cshtml view like this

<html>
    <body>
        @RenderBody()

    </body>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/layout.js"></script>
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</html>

(2) you have Contacts.cshtml

@section Scripts{
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/contacts.js"></script>

}
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
        <h2>    Contacts</h2>
    </div>
</div>

(3) you have About.cshtml

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
        <h2>    Contacts</h2>
    </div>
</div>

On you layout page, if required is set to false "@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)", When page renders and user is on about page, the contacts.js doesn't render.

    <html>
        <body><div>About<div>             
        </body>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/layout.js"></script>
    </html>

if required is set to true "@RenderSection("scripts", required: true)", When page renders and user is on ABOUT page, the contacts.js STILL gets rendered.

<html>
    <body><div>About<div>             
    </body>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/layout.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="~/lib/contacts.js"></script>
</html>

IN SHORT, when set to true, whether you need it or not on other pages, it will get rendered anyhow. If set to false, it will render only when the child page is rendered.

angular 2 sort and filter

This is my sort. It will do number sort , string sort and date sort .

import { Pipe , PipeTransform  } from "@angular/core";

@Pipe({
  name: 'sortPipe'
 })

export class SortPipe implements PipeTransform {

    transform(array: Array<string>, key: string): Array<string> {

        console.log("Entered in pipe*******  "+ key);


        if(key === undefined || key == '' ){
            return array;
        }

        var arr = key.split("-");
        var keyString = arr[0];   // string or column name to sort(name or age or date)
        var sortOrder = arr[1];   // asc or desc order
        var byVal = 1;


        array.sort((a: any, b: any) => {

            if(keyString === 'date' ){

                let left    = Number(new Date(a[keyString]));
                let right   = Number(new Date(b[keyString]));

                return (sortOrder === "asc") ? right - left : left - right;
            }
            else if(keyString === 'name'){

                if(a[keyString] < b[keyString]) {
                    return (sortOrder === "asc" ) ? -1*byVal : 1*byVal;
                } else if (a[keyString] > b[keyString]) {
                    return (sortOrder === "asc" ) ? 1*byVal : -1*byVal;
                } else {
                    return 0;
                }  
            }
            else if(keyString === 'age'){
                return (sortOrder === "asc") ? a[keyString] - b[keyString] : b[keyString] - a[keyString];
            }

        });

        return array;

  }

}

Preventing form resubmission

The only way to be 100% sure the same form never gets submitted twice is to embed a unique identifier in each one you issue and track which ones have been submitted at the server. The pitfall there is that if the user backs up to the page where the form was and enters new data, the same form won't work.

HTML.ActionLink vs Url.Action in ASP.NET Razor

Html.ActionLink generates an <a href=".."></a> tag automatically.

Url.Action generates only an url.

For example:

@Html.ActionLink("link text", "actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" }, null)

generates:

<a href="/controllerName/actionName/<id>">link text</a>

and

@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" }) 

generates:

/controllerName/actionName/<id>

Best plus point which I like is using Url.Action(...)

You are creating anchor tag by your own where you can set your own linked text easily even with some other html tag.

<a href="@Url.Action("actionName", "controllerName", new { id = "<id>" })">

   <img src="<ImageUrl>" style"width:<somewidth>;height:<someheight> />

   @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.<SomeModelField>)
</a>

How do I convert a TimeSpan to a formatted string?

I know this is a late answer but this works for me:

TimeSpan dateDifference = new TimeSpan(0,0,0, (int)endTime.Subtract(beginTime).TotalSeconds); 

dateDifference should now exclude the parts smaller than a second. Works in .net 2.0 too.

Fastest way to set all values of an array?

Arrays.fill(myArray, 'c');

Arrays.fill

Although it is quite possible that this is doing the loop in the background and is therefore not any more efficient than what you have (other than the lines of code savings). If you really care about efficiency, try the following in comparison to the above:

int size = 50;
char[] array = new char[size];
for (int i=0; i<size; i++){
  array[i] = 'c';
}

Notice that the above doesn't call array.size() for each iteration.

GROUP BY and COUNT in PostgreSQL

There is also EXISTS:

SELECT count(*) AS post_ct
FROM   posts p
WHERE  EXISTS (SELECT FROM votes v WHERE v.post_id = p.id);

In Postgres and with multiple entries on the n-side like you probably have, it's generally faster than count(DISTINCT post_id):

SELECT count(DISTINCT p.id) AS post_ct
FROM   posts p
JOIN   votes v ON v.post_id = p.id;

The more rows per post there are in votes, the bigger the difference in performance. Test with EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

count(DISTINCT post_id) has to read all rows, sort or hash them, and then only consider the first per identical set. EXISTS will only scan votes (or, preferably, an index on post_id) until the first match is found.

If every post_id in votes is guaranteed to be present in the table posts (referential integrity enforced with a foreign key constraint), this short form is equivalent to the longer form:

SELECT count(DISTINCT post_id) AS post_ct
FROM   votes;

May actually be faster than the EXISTS query with no or few entries per post.

The query you had works in simpler form, too:

SELECT count(*) AS post_ct
FROM  (
    SELECT FROM posts 
    JOIN   votes ON votes.post_id = posts.id 
    GROUP  BY posts.id
    ) sub;

Benchmark

To verify my claims I ran a benchmark on my test server with limited resources. All in a separate schema:

Test setup

Fake a typical post / vote situation:

CREATE SCHEMA y;
SET search_path = y;

CREATE TABLE posts (
  id   int PRIMARY KEY
, post text
);

INSERT INTO posts
SELECT g, repeat(chr(g%100 + 32), (random()* 500)::int)  -- random text
FROM   generate_series(1,10000) g;

DELETE FROM posts WHERE random() > 0.9;  -- create ~ 10 % dead tuples

CREATE TABLE votes (
  vote_id serial PRIMARY KEY
, post_id int REFERENCES posts(id)
, up_down bool
);

INSERT INTO votes (post_id, up_down)
SELECT g.* 
FROM  (
   SELECT ((random()* 21)^3)::int + 1111 AS post_id  -- uneven distribution
        , random()::int::bool AS up_down
   FROM   generate_series(1,70000)
   ) g
JOIN   posts p ON p.id = g.post_id;

All of the following queries returned the same result (8093 of 9107 posts had votes).
I ran 4 tests with EXPLAIN ANALYZE ant took the best of five on Postgres 9.1.4 with each of the three queries and appended the resulting total runtimes.

  1. As is.

  2. After ..

    ANALYZE posts;
    ANALYZE votes;
    
  3. After ..

    CREATE INDEX foo on votes(post_id);
    
  4. After ..

    VACUUM FULL ANALYZE posts;
    CLUSTER votes using foo;
    

count(*) ... WHERE EXISTS

  1. 253 ms
  2. 220 ms
  3. 85 ms -- winner (seq scan on posts, index scan on votes, nested loop)
  4. 85 ms

count(DISTINCT x) - long form with join

  1. 354 ms
  2. 358 ms
  3. 373 ms -- (index scan on posts, index scan on votes, merge join)
  4. 330 ms

count(DISTINCT x) - short form without join

  1. 164 ms
  2. 164 ms
  3. 164 ms -- (always seq scan)
  4. 142 ms

Best time for original query in question:

  • 353 ms

For simplified version:

  • 348 ms

@wildplasser's query with a CTE uses the same plan as the long form (index scan on posts, index scan on votes, merge join) plus a little overhead for the CTE. Best time:

  • 366 ms

Index-only scans in the upcoming PostgreSQL 9.2 can improve the result for each of these queries, most of all for EXISTS.

Related, more detailed benchmark for Postgres 9.5 (actually retrieving distinct rows, not just counting):

jQuery select all except first

$("div.test:not(:first)").hide();

or:

$("div.test:not(:eq(0))").hide();

$("div.test").not(":eq(0)").hide();

or:

$("div.test:gt(0)").hide();

or: (as per @Jordan Lev's comment):

$("div.test").slice(1).hide();

and so on.

How to delete zero components in a vector in Matlab?

I often ended up doing things like this. Therefore I tried to write a simple function that 'snips' out the unwanted elements in an easy way. This turns matlab logic a bit upside down, but looks good:

b = snip(a,'0')

you can find the function file at: http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/41941-snip-m-snip-elements-out-of-vectorsmatrices

It also works with all other 'x', nan or whatever elements.

How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 (SSMS) Express?

Good evening,

The previous clues to get SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe runing didn't work as stated for me. After a while of searching, trying, retrying again and again, I finally figured it out. When executing SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe on my Windows seven system, I kept runing into compatibility issues. The trick is to run SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2. Edit the installer properties and enable compatibility mode with XP (service pack 2), then you'll be able to access Mr Doug (answered Mar 4 at 15:09) resolution.

Cheers.

Could not load the Tomcat server configuration

I know it's been a while since this question was posted, but I was just getting this exact error, and I have a really simple solution that MIGHT work for some. All I did was double click on the folder 'Servers', which then allowed me to start the server with no error message. Sometimes the solution is right in front of your eyes. This might work for some people like me who go straight to google without trying fix the issue themselves!

How to open a web page from my application?

Here is my complete code how to open.

there are 2 options:

  1. open using default browser (behavior is like opened inside the browser window)

  2. open through default command options (behavior is like you use "RUN.EXE" command)

  3. open through 'explorer' (behavior is like you wrote url inside your folder window url)

[optional suggestion] 4. use iexplore process location to open the required url

CODE:

internal static bool TryOpenUrl(string p_url)
    {
        // try use default browser [registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command]
        try
        {
            string keyValue = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command", "", null) as string;
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(keyValue) == false)
            {
                string browserPath = keyValue.Replace("%1", p_url);
                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(browserPath);
                return true;
            }
        }
        catch { }

        // try open browser as default command
        try
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(p_url); //browserPath, argUrl);
            return true;
        }
        catch { }

        // try open through 'explorer.exe'
        try
        {
            string browserPath = GetWindowsPath("explorer.exe");
            string argUrl = "\"" + p_url + "\"";

            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(browserPath, argUrl);
            return true;
        }
        catch { }

Difference between using bean id and name in Spring configuration file

From the Spring reference, 3.2.3.1 Naming Beans:

Every bean has one or more ids (also called identifiers, or names; these terms refer to the same thing). These ids must be unique within the container the bean is hosted in. A bean will almost always have only one id, but if a bean has more than one id, the extra ones can essentially be considered aliases.

When using XML-based configuration metadata, you use the 'id' or 'name' attributes to specify the bean identifier(s). The 'id' attribute allows you to specify exactly one id, and as it is a real XML element ID attribute, the XML parser is able to do some extra validation when other elements reference the id; as such, it is the preferred way to specify a bean id. However, the XML specification does limit the characters which are legal in XML IDs. This is usually not a constraint, but if you have a need to use one of these special XML characters, or want to introduce other aliases to the bean, you may also or instead specify one or more bean ids, separated by a comma (,), semicolon (;), or whitespace in the 'name' attribute.

So basically the id attribute conforms to the XML id attribute standards whereas name is a little more flexible. Generally speaking, I use name pretty much exclusively. It just seems more "Spring-y".

How to close a GUI when I push a JButton?

By using System.exit(0); you would close the entire process. Is that what you wanted or did you intend to close only the GUI window and allow the process to continue running?

The quickest, easiest and most robust way to simply close a JFrame or JPanel with the click of a JButton is to add an actionListener to the JButton which will execute the line of code below when the JButton is clicked:

this.dispose();

If you are using the NetBeans GUI designer, the easiest way to add this actionListener is to enter the GUI editor window and double click the JButton component. Doing this will automatically create an actionListener and actionEvent, which can be modified manually by you.

What does %~dp0 mean, and how does it work?

Calling

for /?

in the command-line gives help about this syntax (which can be used outside FOR, too, this is just the place where help can be found).

In addition, substitution of FOR variable references has been enhanced. You can now use the following optional syntax:

%~I         - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (")
%~fI        - expands %I to a fully qualified path name
%~dI        - expands %I to a drive letter only
%~pI        - expands %I to a path only
%~nI        - expands %I to a file name only
%~xI        - expands %I to a file extension only
%~sI        - expanded path contains short names only
%~aI        - expands %I to file attributes of file
%~tI        - expands %I to date/time of file
%~zI        - expands %I to size of file
%~$PATH:I   - searches the directories listed in the PATH
               environment variable and expands %I to the
               fully qualified name of the first one found.
               If the environment variable name is not
               defined or the file is not found by the
               search, then this modifier expands to the
               empty string

The modifiers can be combined to get compound results:

%~dpI       - expands %I to a drive letter and path only
%~nxI       - expands %I to a file name and extension only
%~fsI       - expands %I to a full path name with short names only
%~dp$PATH:I - searches the directories listed in the PATH
               environment variable for %I and expands to the
               drive letter and path of the first one found.
%~ftzaI     - expands %I to a DIR like output line

In the above examples %I and PATH can be replaced by other valid values. The %~ syntax is terminated by a valid FOR variable name. Picking upper case variable names like %I makes it more readable and avoids confusion with the modifiers, which are not case sensitive.

There are different letters you can use like f for "full path name", d for drive letter, p for path, and they can be combined. %~ is the beginning for each of those sequences and a number I denotes it works on the parameter %I (where %0 is the complete name of the batch file, just like you assumed).

Starting iPhone app development in Linux?

To a certain extent, yes, it is possible. You can type Objective-C code and set up your projects. You can even test the C and C++ parts of your code with gcc.

What you cannot do:

  • Use Interface Builder to set up your interface, as it's Mac-only. (Not required, but recommended.)
  • Compile code that uses Apple's Cocoa classes - they don't exist on Linux.
  • Test code in the Simulator - there isn't one for Linux.
  • Compile code for real devices or for the App Store - all this requires tools that Apple only provides for OS X.

BackgroundWorker vs background Thread

You know, sometimes it's just easier to work with a BackgroundWorker regardless of if you're using Windows Forms, WPF or whatever technology. The neat part about these guys is you get threading without having to worry too much about where you're thread is executing, which is great for simple tasks.

Before using a BackgroundWorker consider first if you wish to cancel a thread (closing app, user cancellation) then you need to decide if your thread should check for cancellations or if it should be thrust upon the execution itself.

BackgroundWorker.CancelAsync() will set CancellationPending to true but won't do anything more, it's then the threads responsibility to continually check this, keep in mind also that you could end up with a race condition in this approach where your user cancelled, but the thread completed prior to testing for CancellationPending.

Thread.Abort() on the other hand will throw an exception within the thread execution which enforces cancellation of that thread, you must be careful about what might be dangerous if this exception was suddenly raised within the execution though.

Threading needs very careful consideration no matter what the task, for some further reading:

How can I avoid ResultSet is closed exception in Java?

The exception states that your result is closed. You should examine your code and look for all location where you issue a ResultSet.close() call. Also look for Statement.close() and Connection.close(). For sure, one of them gets called before rs.next() is called.

How to Lock the data in a cell in excel using vba

Try using the Worksheet.Protect method, like so:

Sub ProtectActiveSheet()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = ActiveSheet
    ws.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
        Scenarios:=True, Password="SamplePassword"
End Sub

You should, however, be concerned about including the password in your VBA code. You don't necessarily need a password if you're only trying to put up a simple barrier that keeps a user from making small mistakes like deleting formulas, etc.

Also, if you want to see how to do certain things in VBA in Excel, try recording a Macro and looking at the code it generates. That's a good way to get started in VBA.

svn cleanup: sqlite: database disk image is malformed

I solved my problem of visual svn server rep-cache.db corruption.

Their are two solutions.

Stop the Visual SVN Server service.

Download sqllite3.exe shell from sqllite website and copy that into repo's db folder.

Type the following commands at command prompt in the repo's db folder.

-- First Solution --

sqlite3 rep-cache.db

.clone rep-cache-new.db

press ctrl+c to exit sqllite.

ren rep-cache.db rep-cache-old.db

ren re-cache-new.db rep-cache.db

-- 2nd Solution --

Delete The rep-cache.db

del rep-cache.db

it will be automatically created.

Difference between Build Solution, Rebuild Solution, and Clean Solution in Visual Studio?

This is concerning "Build Solution" option only.

I got totally fed up with Visual Studio's inability to really clean solutions and wrote this little tool that will do it for you.

Close your solution in VS first and drag its folder from Windows Explorer into this app or into its icon. Depending on the setting at the bottom of its window, it can also remove additional stuff, that will help if you try to manually upload your solution to GitHub or share it with someone else:

enter image description here

In a nutshell, it will place all "Debug" folders, Intellisense, and other caches that can be rebuilt by VS into Recycle Bin for you.

Is there any "font smoothing" in Google Chrome?

Status of the issue, June 2014: Fixed with Chrome 37

Finally, the Chrome team will release a fix for this issue with Chrome 37 which will be released to public in July 2014. See example comparison of current stable Chrome 35 and latest Chrome 37 (early development preview) here:

enter image description here

Status of the issue, December 2013

1.) There is NO proper solution when loading fonts via @import, <link href= or Google's webfont.js. The problem is that Chrome simply requests .woff files from Google's API which render horribly. Surprisingly all other font file types render beautifully. However, there are some CSS tricks that will "smoothen" the rendered font a little bit, you'll find the workaround(s) deeper in this answer.

2.) There IS a real solution for this when self-hosting the fonts, first posted by Jaime Fernandez in another answer on this Stackoverflow page, which fixes this issue by loading web fonts in a special order. I would feel bad to simply copy his excellent answer, so please have a look there. There is also an (unproven) solution that recommends using only TTF/OTF fonts as they are now supported by nearly all browsers.

3.) The Google Chrome developer team works on that issue. As there have been several huge changes in the rendering engine there's obviously something in progress.

I've written a large blog post on that issue, feel free to have a look: How to fix the ugly font rendering in Google Chrome

Solution

Fixing the above screenshot with -webkit-text-stroke:

enter image description here

First row is default, second has:

-webkit-text-stroke: 0.3px;

Third row has:

-webkit-text-stroke: 0.6px;

So, the way to fix those fonts is simply giving them

-webkit-text-stroke: 0.Xpx;

or the RGBa syntax (by nezroy, found in the comments! Thanks!)

-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)

There's also an outdated possibility: Give the text a simple (fake) shadow:

text-shadow: #fff 0px 1px 1px;

RGBa solution (found in Jasper Espejo's blog):

text-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(51,51,51,0.2);

I made a blog post on this:

If you want to be updated on this issue, have a look on the according blog post: How to fix the ugly font rendering in Google Chrome. I'll post news if there're news on this.

My original answer:

This is a big bug in Google Chrome and the Google Chrome Team does know about this, see the official bug report here. Currently, in May 2013, even 11 months after the bug was reported, it's not solved. It's a strange thing that the only browser that messes up Google Webfonts is Google's own browser Chrome (!). But there's a simple workaround that will fix the problem, please see below for the solution.

STATEMENT FROM GOOGLE CHROME DEVELOPMENT TEAM, MAY 2013

Official statement in the bug report comments:

Our Windows font rendering is actively being worked on. ... We hope to have something within a milestone or two that developers can start playing with. How fast it goes to stable is, as always, all about how fast we can root out and burn down any regressions.

File uploading with Express 4.0: req.files undefined

It looks like body-parser did support uploading files in Express 3, but support was dropped for Express 4 when it no longer included Connect as a dependency

After looking through some of the modules in mscdex's answer, I found that express-busboy was a far better alternative and the closest thing to a drop-in replacement. The only differences I noticed were in the properties of the uploaded file.

console.log(req.files) using body-parser (Express 3) output an object that looked like this:

{ file: 
   { fieldName: 'file',
     originalFilename: '360px-Cute_Monkey_cropped.jpg',
     name: '360px-Cute_Monkey_cropped.jpg'
     path: 'uploads/6323-16v7rc.jpg',
     type: 'image/jpeg',
     headers: 
      { 'content-disposition': 'form-data; name="file"; filename="360px-Cute_Monkey_cropped.jpg"',
        'content-type': 'image/jpeg' },
     ws: 
      WriteStream { /* ... */ },
     size: 48614 } }

compared to console.log(req.files) using express-busboy (Express 4):

{ file: 
   { field: 'file',
     filename: '360px-Cute_Monkey_cropped.jpg',
     file: 'uploads/9749a8b6-f9cc-40a9-86f1-337a46e16e44/file/360px-Cute_Monkey_cropped.jpg',

it is pretty easy to calculate the MD5 hash using the MD5 function of CryptoJS and the HTML5 FileReader API. The following code snippet shows how you can read the binary data and calculate the MD5 hash from an image that has been dragged into your Browser:

var holder = document.getElementById('holder');

holder.ondragover = function() {
  return false;
};

holder.ondragend = function() {
  return false;
};

holder.ondrop = function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  var file = event.dataTransfer.files[0];
  var reader = new FileReader();

  reader.onload = function(event) {
    var binary = event.target.result;
    var md5 = CryptoJS.MD5(binary).toString();
    console.log(md5);
  };

  reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
};

I recommend to add some CSS to see the Drag & Drop area:

#holder {
  border: 10px dashed #ccc;
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
}

#holder.hover {
  border: 10px dashed #333;
}

More about the Drag & Drop functionality can be found here: File API & FileReader

I tested the sample in Google Chrome Version 32.

document.getElementById replacement in angular4 / typescript?

You can just inject the DOCUMENT token into the constructor and use the same functions on it

import { Inject }  from '@angular/core';
import { DOCUMENT } from '@angular/common'; 

@Component({...})
export class AppCmp {
   constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) document) {
      document.getElementById('el');
   }
}

Or if the element you want to get is in that component, you can use template references.

Turn off display errors using file "php.ini"

It is not enough in case of PHP fpm. It was one more configuration file which can enable display_error. You should find www.conf. In my case it is in directory /etc/php/7.1/fpm/pool.d/

You should find php_flag[display_errors] = on and disable it, php_flag[display_errors] = off. This should solve the issue.

How can I get phone serial number (IMEI)

Use below code for IMEI:

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String imei= tm.getDeviceId();

laravel 5 : Class 'input' not found

if You use Laravel version 5.2 Review this: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/requests#accessing-the-request

use Illuminate\Http\Request;//Access able for All requests
...

class myController extends Controller{
   public function myfunction(Request $request){
     $name = $request->input('username');
   }
 }

import module from string variable

spent some time trying to import modules from a list, and this is the thread that got me most of the way there - but I didnt grasp the use of ___import____ -

so here's how to import a module from a string, and get the same behavior as just import. And try/except the error case, too. :)

  pipmodules = ['pycurl', 'ansible', 'bad_module_no_beer']
  for module in pipmodules:
      try:
          # because we want to import using a variable, do it this way
          module_obj = __import__(module)
          # create a global object containging our module
          globals()[module] = module_obj
      except ImportError:
          sys.stderr.write("ERROR: missing python module: " + module + "\n")
          sys.exit(1)

and yes, for python 2.7> you have other options - but for 2.6<, this works.

How can I set the color of a selected row in DataGrid

I've tried ControlBrushKey but it didn't work for unselected rows. The background for the unselected row was still white. But I've managed to find out that I have to override the rowstyle.

<DataGrid x:Name="pbSelectionDataGrid" Height="201" Margin="10,0"
          FontSize="20" SelectionMode="Single" FontWeight="Bold">
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="#FFFDD47C"/>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="#FFA6E09C"/>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Red"/>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}" Color="Violet"/>
    </DataGrid.Resources>
    <DataGrid.RowStyle>
        <Style TargetType="DataGridRow">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue" />
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.RowStyle>
</DataGrid>

How can I detect window size with jQuery?

You can get the values for the width and height of the browser using the following:

$(window).height();
$(window).width();

To get notified when the browser is resized, use this bind callback:

$(window).resize(function() {
    // Do something
});

Finding duplicate values in a SQL table

Try the following:

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT Id, Name, Age, Comments, Row_Number() OVER(PARTITION BY Name, Age ORDER By Name)
        AS Rank 
        FROM Customers
) AS B WHERE Rank>1

Best way to format integer as string with leading zeros?

You can use the zfill() method to pad a string with zeros:

In [3]: str(1).zfill(2)
Out[3]: '01'

Parsing HTML using Python

I recommend using justext library:

https://github.com/miso-belica/jusText

Usage: Python2:

import requests
import justext

response = requests.get("http://planet.python.org/")
paragraphs = justext.justext(response.content, justext.get_stoplist("English"))
for paragraph in paragraphs:
    print paragraph.text

Python3:

import requests
import justext

response = requests.get("http://bbc.com/")
paragraphs = justext.justext(response.content, justext.get_stoplist("English"))
for paragraph in paragraphs:
    print (paragraph.text)

Creating a list of pairs in java

You can use the Entry<U,V> class that HashMap uses but you'll be stuck with its semantics of getKey and getValue:

List<Entry<Float,Short>> pairList = //...

My preference would be to create your own simple Pair class:

public class Pair<L,R> {
    private L l;
    private R r;
    public Pair(L l, R r){
        this.l = l;
        this.r = r;
    }
    public L getL(){ return l; }
    public R getR(){ return r; }
    public void setL(L l){ this.l = l; }
    public void setR(R r){ this.r = r; }
}

Then of course make a List using this new class, e.g.:

List<Pair<Float,Short>> pairList = new ArrayList<Pair<Float,Short>>();

You can also always make a Lists of Lists, but it becomes difficult to enforce sizing (that you have only pairs) and you would be required, as with arrays, to have consistent typing.

android TextView: setting the background color dynamically doesn't work

To set red color:

textView.setBackgroundColor(0xfff00000);

Or

<color name="solid_red">#fff00000</color>

textView.setBackgroundResource(R.color.solid_red);

Add frameLayout in your activity

<FrameLayout
   android:id="@+id/your_placeholder"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">

now in activity, add following method

protected void setFragment() {
    // Begin the transaction
    FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    // Replace the contents of the container with the new fragment
    ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new ABCFragment());
    // or ft.add(R.id.your_placeholder, new ABCFragment());
    // Complete the changes added above
    ft.commit();
}

Call a python function from jinja2

is there any way to import a whole set of python functions and have them accessible from jinja2 ?

Yes there is, In addition to the other answers above, this works for me.

Create a class and populate it with the associated methods e.g

class Test_jinja_object:

    def __init__(self):
        self.myvar = 'sample_var'

    def clever_function (self):
        return 'hello' 

Then create an instance of your class in your view function and pass the resultant object to your template as a parameter for the render_template function

my_obj = Test_jinja_object()

Now in your template, you can call the class methods in jinja like so

{{ my_obj.clever_function () }}

TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray'

numpy.ndarray can contain any type of element, e.g. int, float, string etc. Check the type an do a conversion if neccessary.

How to create threads in nodejs

You might be looking for Promise.race (native I/O racing solution, not threads)

Assuming you (or others searching this question) want to race threads to avoid failure and avoid the cost of I/O operations, this is a simple and native way to accomplish it (which does not use threads). Node is designed to be single threaded (look up the event loop), so avoid using threads if possible. If my assumption is correct, I recommend you use Promise.race with setTimeout (example in link). With this strategy, you would race a list of promises which each try some I/O operation and reject the promise if there is an error (otherwise timeout). The Promise.race statement continues after the first resolution/rejection, which seems to be what you want. Hope this helps someone!

Inline style to act as :hover in CSS

If that <p> tag is created from JavaScript, then you do have another option: use JSS to programmatically insert stylesheets into the document head. It does support '&:hover'. https://cssinjs.org/

Gson: Is there an easier way to serialize a map

I'm pretty sure GSON serializes/deserializes Maps and multiple-nested Maps (i.e. Map<String, Map<String, Object>>) just fine by default. The example provided I believe is nothing more than just a starting point if you need to do something more complex.

Check out the MapTypeAdapterFactory class in the GSON source: http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/source/browse/trunk/gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/internal/bind/MapTypeAdapterFactory.java

So long as the types of the keys and values can be serialized into JSON strings (and you can create your own serializers/deserializers for these custom objects) you shouldn't have any issues.

Remove Unnamed columns in pandas dataframe

df = df.loc[:, ~df.columns.str.contains('^Unnamed')]

In [162]: df
Out[162]:
   colA  ColB  colC  colD  colE  colF  colG
0    44    45    26    26    40    26    46
1    47    16    38    47    48    22    37
2    19    28    36    18    40    18    46
3    50    14    12    33    12    44    23
4    39    47    16    42    33    48    38

if the first column in the CSV file has index values, then you can do this instead:

df = pd.read_csv('data.csv', index_col=0)

How to use opencv in using Gradle?

The OpenCV Android SDK has an example gradle.build file with helpful comments: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/modules/java/android_sdk/build.gradle.in

//
// Notes about integration OpenCV into existed Android Studio application project are below (application 'app' module should exist).
//
// This file is located in <OpenCV-android-sdk>/sdk directory (near 'etc', 'java', 'native' subdirectories)
//
// Add module into Android Studio application project:
//
// - Android Studio way:
//   (will copy almost all OpenCV Android SDK into your project, ~200Mb)
//
//   Import module: Menu -> "File" -> "New" -> "Module" -> "Import Gradle project":
//   Source directory: select this "sdk" directory
//   Module name: ":opencv"
//
// - or attach library module from OpenCV Android SDK
//   (without copying into application project directory, allow to share the same module between projects)
//
//   Edit "settings.gradle" and add these lines:
//
//   def opencvsdk='<path_to_opencv_android_sdk_rootdir>'
//   // You can put declaration above into gradle.properties file instead (including file in HOME directory),
//   // but without 'def' and apostrophe symbols ('): opencvsdk=<path_to_opencv_android_sdk_rootdir>
//   include ':opencv'
//   project(':opencv').projectDir = new File(opencvsdk + '/sdk')
//
//
//
// Add dependency into application module:
//
// - Android Studio way:
//   "Open Module Settings" (F4) -> "Dependencies" tab
//
// - or add "project(':opencv')" dependency into app/build.gradle:
//
//   dependencies {
//       implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
//       ...
//       implementation project(':opencv')
//   }
//
//
//
// Load OpenCV native library before using:
//
// - avoid using of "OpenCVLoader.initAsync()" approach - it is deprecated
//   It may load library with different version (from OpenCV Android Manager, which is installed separatelly on device)
//
// - use "System.loadLibrary("opencv_java3")" or "OpenCVLoader.initDebug()"
//   TODO: Add accurate API to load OpenCV native library
//
//
//
// Native C++ support (necessary to use OpenCV in native code of application only):

// - Use find_package() in app/CMakeLists.txt:
//
//   find_package(OpenCV 3.4 REQUIRED java)
//   ...
//   target_link_libraries(native-lib ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
//
// - Add "OpenCV_DIR" and enable C++ exceptions/RTTI support via app/build.gradle
//   Documentation about CMake options: https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cmake.html
//
//   defaultConfig {
//       ...

How can I pass a member function where a free function is expected?

@Pete Becker's answer is fine but you can also do it without passing the class instance as an explicit parameter to function1 in C++ 11:

#include <functional>
using namespace std::placeholders;

void function1(std::function<void(int, int)> fun)
{
    fun(1, 1);
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
   ...

   aClass a;
   auto fp = std::bind(&aClass::test, a, _1, _2);
   function1(fp);

   return 0;
}

How can I initialize a String array with length 0 in Java?

Make a function which will not return null instead return an empty array you can go through below code to understand.

    public static String[] getJavaFileNameList(File inputDir) {
    String[] files = inputDir.list(new FilenameFilter() {
        @Override
        public boolean accept(File current, String name) {
            return new File(current, name).isFile() && (name.endsWith("java"));
        }
    });

    return files == null ? new String[0] : files;
}

Formatting a float to 2 decimal places

You can pass the format in to the ToString method, e.g.:

myFloatVariable.ToString("0.00"); //2dp Number

myFloatVariable.ToString("n2"); // 2dp Number

myFloatVariable.ToString("c2"); // 2dp currency

Standard Number Format Strings

MySQL JOIN with LIMIT 1 on joined table

SELECT c.id, c.title, p.id AS product_id, p.title
FROM categories AS c
JOIN products AS p ON c.id = p.category_id
GROUP BY c.id

This will return the first data in products (equals limit 1)

Turn on torch/flash on iPhone

See a better answer below: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10054088/308315


Old answer:

First, in your AppDelegate .h file:

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

@interface AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {

    AVCaptureSession *torchSession;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) AVCaptureSession * torchSession;

@end

Then in your AppDelegate .m file:

@implementation AppDelegate

@synthesize torchSession;

- (void)dealloc {
    [torchSession release];

    [super dealloc];
}

- (id) init {
    if ((self = [super init])) {

    // initialize flashlight
    // test if this class even exists to ensure flashlight is turned on ONLY for iOS 4 and above
        Class captureDeviceClass = NSClassFromString(@"AVCaptureDevice");
        if (captureDeviceClass != nil) {

            AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];

            if ([device hasTorch] && [device hasFlash]){

                if (device.torchMode == AVCaptureTorchModeOff) {

                NSLog(@"Setting up flashlight for later use...");

                    AVCaptureDeviceInput *flashInput = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:device error: nil];
                    AVCaptureVideoDataOutput *output = [[AVCaptureVideoDataOutput alloc] init];

                    AVCaptureSession *session = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];

                [session beginConfiguration];
                    [device lockForConfiguration:nil];

                    [session addInput:flashInput];
                    [session addOutput:output];

                    [device unlockForConfiguration];

                    [output release];

                [session commitConfiguration];
                [session startRunning];

                [self setTorchSession:session];
                [session release];
                    }

            }

        }
    } 
    return self;
}

Then anytime you want to turn it on, just do something like this:

// test if this class even exists to ensure flashlight is turned on ONLY for iOS 4 and above
Class captureDeviceClass = NSClassFromString(@"AVCaptureDevice");
if (captureDeviceClass != nil) {

    AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];

    [device lockForConfiguration:nil];

    [device setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOn];
    [device setFlashMode:AVCaptureFlashModeOn];

    [device unlockForConfiguration];

}

And similar for turning it off:

// test if this class even exists to ensure flashlight is turned on ONLY for iOS 4 and above
Class captureDeviceClass = NSClassFromString(@"AVCaptureDevice");
if (captureDeviceClass != nil) {

    AVCaptureDevice *device = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];

    [device lockForConfiguration:nil];

    [device setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOff];
    [device setFlashMode:AVCaptureFlashModeOff];

    [device unlockForConfiguration];
}

Can Mockito stub a method without regard to the argument?

Another option is to rely on good old fashion equals method. As long as the argument in the when mock equals the argument in the code being tested, then Mockito will match the mock.

Here is an example.

public class MyPojo {

    public MyPojo( String someField ) {
        this.someField = someField;
    }

    private String someField;

    @Override
    public boolean equals( Object o ) {
        if ( this == o ) return true;
        if ( o == null || getClass() != o.getClass() ) return false;
        MyPojo myPojo = ( MyPojo ) o;
        return someField.equals( myPojo.someField );
    }

}

then, assuming you know what the value for someField will be, you can mock it like this.

when(fooDao.getBar(new MyPojo(expectedSomeField))).thenReturn(myFoo);

pros: This is more explicit then any matchers. As a reviewer of code, I keep an eye open for any in the code junior developers write, as it glances over their code's logic to generate the appropriate object being passed.

con: Sometimes the field being passed to the object is a random ID. For this case you cannot easily construct the expected argument object in your mock code.

Another possible approach is to use Mockito's Answer object that can be used with the when method. Answer lets you intercept the actual call and inspect the input argument and return a mock object. In the example below I am using any to catch any request to the method being mocked. But then in the Answer lambda, I can further inspect the Bazo argument... maybe to verify that a proper ID was passed to it. I prefer this over any by itself so that at least some inspection is done on the argument.

    Bar mockBar = //generate mock Bar.

    when(fooDao.getBar(any(Bazo.class))
    .thenAnswer(  ( InvocationOnMock invocationOnMock) -> {
        Bazo actualBazo = invocationOnMock.getArgument( 0 );

        //inspect the actualBazo here and thrw exception if it does not meet your testing requirements.
        return mockBar;
    } );

So to sum it all up, I like relying on equals (where the expected argument and actual argument should be equal to each other) and if equals is not possible (due to not being able to predict the actual argument's state), I'll resort to Answer to inspect the argument.

How to make a Qt Widget grow with the window size?

I found it was impossible to assign a layout to the centralwidget until I had added at least one child beneath it. Then I could highlight the tiny icon with the red 'disabled' mark and then click on a layout in the Designer toolbar at top.

How can I get current location from user in iOS

For Swift 5, here's a quick short class to get the location:

class MyLocationManager: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
    let manager: CLLocationManager

    override init() {
        manager = CLLocationManager()
        super.init()
        manager.delegate = self
        manager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone
        manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
        manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
        manager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        // do something with locations
    }
}

XML to CSV Using XSLT

Found an XML transform stylesheet here (wayback machine link, site itself is in german)

The stylesheet added here could be helpful:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

<xsl:template match="/*/child::*">
<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">"<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>",    </xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position()  = last()">"<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>"<xsl:text>&#xD;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Perhaps you want to remove the quotes inside the xsl:if tags so it doesn't put your values into quotes, depending on where you want to use the CSV file.

How to save and extract session data in codeigniter

You can set data to session simply like this in Codeigniter:

$this->load->library('session');
$this->session->set_userdata(array(
    'user_id'  => $user->uid,
    'username' => $user->username,
    'groupid'  => $user->groupid,
    'date'     => $user->date_cr,
    'serial'   => $user->serial,
    'rec_id'   => $user->rec_id,
    'status'   => TRUE
));

and you can get it like this:

$u_rec_id = $this->session->userdata('rec_id');
$serial = $this->session->userdata('serial');

Read response body in JAX-RS client from a post request

I just found a solution for jaxrs-ri-2.16 - simply use

Sorting dropdown alphabetically in AngularJS

Angular has an orderBy filter that can be used like this:

<select ng-model="selected" ng-options="f.name for f in friends | orderBy:'name'"></select>

See this fiddle for an example.

It's worth noting that if track by is being used it needs to appear after the orderBy filter, like this:

<select ng-model="selected" ng-options="f.name for f in friends | orderBy:'name' track by f.id"></select>

How do I use reflection to call a generic method?

Adding on to Adrian Gallero's answer:

Calling a generic method from type info involves three steps.

TLDR: Calling a known generic method with a type object can be accomplished by:

((Action)GenericMethod<object>)
    .Method
    .GetGenericMethodDefinition()
    .MakeGenericMethod(typeof(string))
    .Invoke(this, null);

where GenericMethod<object> is the method name to call and any type that satisfies the generic constraints.

(Action) matches the signature of the method to be called i.e. (Func<string,string,int> or Action<bool>)

Step 1 is getting the MethodInfo for the generic method definition

Method 1: Use GetMethod() or GetMethods() with appropriate types or binding flags.

MethodInfo method = typeof(Sample).GetMethod("GenericMethod");

Method 2: Create a delegate, get the MethodInfo object and then call GetGenericMethodDefinition

From inside the class that contains the methods:

MethodInfo method = ((Action)GenericMethod<object>)
    .Method
    .GetGenericMethodDefinition();

MethodInfo method = ((Action)StaticMethod<object>)
    .Method
    .GetGenericMethodDefinition();

From outside of the class that contains the methods:

MethodInfo method = ((Action)(new Sample())
    .GenericMethod<object>)
    .Method
    .GetGenericMethodDefinition();

MethodInfo method = ((Action)Sample.StaticMethod<object>)
    .Method
    .GetGenericMethodDefinition();

In C#, the name of a method, i.e. "ToString" or "GenericMethod" actually refers to a group of methods that may contain one or more methods. Until you provide the types of the method parameters, it is not known which method you are referring to.

((Action)GenericMethod<object>) refers to the delegate for a specific method. ((Func<string, int>)GenericMethod<object>) refers to a different overload of GenericMethod

Method 3: Create a lambda expression containing a method call expression, get the MethodInfo object and then GetGenericMethodDefinition

MethodInfo method = ((MethodCallExpression)((Expression<Action<Sample>>)(
    (Sample v) => v.GenericMethod<object>()
    )).Body).Method.GetGenericMethodDefinition();

This breaks down to

Create a lambda expression where the body is a call to your desired method.

Expression<Action<Sample>> expr = (Sample v) => v.GenericMethod<object>();

Extract the body and cast to MethodCallExpression

MethodCallExpression methodCallExpr = (MethodCallExpression)expr.Body;

Get the generic method definition from the method

MethodInfo methodA = methodCallExpr.Method.GetGenericMethodDefinition();

Step 2 is calling MakeGenericMethod to create a generic method with the appropriate type(s).

MethodInfo generic = method.MakeGenericMethod(myType);

Step 3 is invoking the method with the appropriate arguments.

generic.Invoke(this, null);

macro for Hide rows in excel 2010

You almost got it. You are hiding the rows within the active sheet. which is okay. But a better way would be add where it is.

Rows("52:55").EntireRow.Hidden = False

becomes

activesheet.Rows("52:55").EntireRow.Hidden = False

i've had weird things happen without it. As for making it automatic. You need to use the worksheet_change event within the sheet's macro in the VBA editor (not modules, double click the sheet1 to the far left of the editor.) Within that sheet, use the drop down menu just above the editor itself (there should be 2 listboxes). The listbox to the left will have the events you are looking for. After that just throw in the macro. It should look like the below code,

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
test1
end Sub

That's it. Anytime you change something, it will run the macro test1.

Find and replace specific text characters across a document with JS

Similar to @max-malik's answer, but without using jQuery, you can also do this using document.createTreeWalker:

_x000D_
_x000D_
button.addEventListener('click', e => {_x000D_
  const treeWalker = document.createTreeWalker(document.body);_x000D_
  while (treeWalker.nextNode()) {_x000D_
    const node = treeWalker.currentNode;_x000D_
    node.textContent = node.textContent.replace(/@/g, '$');_x000D_
  }_x000D_
})
_x000D_
<div>This is an @ that we are @ replacing.</div>_x000D_
<div>This is another @ that we are replacing.</div>_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
  <span>This is an @ in a span in @ div.</span>_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<br>_x000D_
<input id="button" type="button" value="Replace @ with $" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

React Js conditionally applying class attributes

call a static method inside a class?

This is a very late response, but adds some detail on the previous answers

When it comes to calling static methods in PHP from another static method on the same class, it is important to differentiate between self and the class name.

Take for instance this code:

class static_test_class {
    public static function test() {
        echo "Original class\n";
    }

    public static function run($use_self) {
        if($use_self) {
            self::test();
        } else {
            $class = get_called_class();
            $class::test(); 
        }
    }
}

class extended_static_test_class extends static_test_class {
    public static function test() {
        echo "Extended class\n";
    }
}

extended_static_test_class::run(true);
extended_static_test_class::run(false);

The output of this code is:

Original class

Extended class

This is because self refers to the class the code is in, rather than the class of the code it is being called from.

If you want to use a method defined on a class which inherits the original class, you need to use something like:

$class = get_called_class();
$class::function_name();

Node.js: How to read a stream into a buffer?

I just want to post my solution. Previous answers was pretty helpful for my research. I use length-stream to get the size of the stream, but the problem here is that the callback is fired near the end of the stream, so i also use stream-cache to cache the stream and pipe it to res object once i know the content-length. In case on an error,

var StreamCache = require('stream-cache');
var lengthStream = require('length-stream');

var _streamFile = function(res , stream , cb){
    var cache = new StreamCache();

    var lstream = lengthStream(function(length) {
        res.header("Content-Length", length);
        cache.pipe(res);
    });

    stream.on('error', function(err){
        return cb(err);
    });

    stream.on('end', function(){
        return cb(null , true);
    });

    return stream.pipe(lstream).pipe(cache);
}

Create a GUID in Java

The other Answers are correct, especially this one by Stephen C.

Reaching Outside Java

Generating a UUID value within Java is limited to Version 4 (random) because of security concerns.

If you want other versions of UUIDs, one avenue is to have your Java app reach outside the JVM to generate UUIDs by calling on:

  • Command-line utility
    Bundled with nearly every operating system.
    For example, uuidgen found in Mac OS X, BSD, and Linux.
  • Database server
    Use JDBC to retrieve a UUID generated on the database server.
    For example, the uuid-ossp extension often bundled with Postgres. That extension can generates Versions 1, 3, and 4 values and additionally a couple variations:
    • uuid_generate_v1mc() – generates a version 1 UUID but uses a random multicast MAC address instead of the real MAC address of the computer.
    • uuid_generate_v5(namespace uuid, name text) – generates a version 5 UUID, which works like a version 3 UUID except that SHA-1 is used as a hashing method.
  • Web Service
    For example, UUID Generator creates Versions 1 & 3 as well as nil values and GUID.

An URL to a Windows shared folder

This depend on how you want to incorporate it. The scenario 1. click on a link 2. explorer window popped up

<a href="\\server\folder\path" target="_blank">click</a>

If there is a need in a fancy UI - then it will barely serve as a solution.

How do I get git to default to ssh and not https for new repositories

  • GitHub

    git config --global url.ssh://[email protected]/.insteadOf https://github.com/
    
  • BitBucket

    git config --global url.ssh://[email protected]/.insteadOf https://bitbucket.org/
    

That tells git to always use SSH instead of HTTPS when connecting to GitHub/BitBucket, so you'll authenticate by certificate by default, instead of being prompted for a password.

View HTTP headers in Google Chrome?

For me, as of Google Chrome Version 46.0.2490.71 m, the Headers info area is a little hidden. To access:

  1. While the browser is open, press F12 to access Web Developer tools

  2. When opened, click the "Network" option

  3. Initially, it is possible the page data is not present/up to date. Refresh the page if necessary

  4. Observe the page information appears in the listing. (Also, make sure "All" is selected next to the "Hide data URLs" checkbox)

see screenshot

PHP float with 2 decimal places: .00

try this

$result = number_format($FloatNumber, 2);

static linking only some libraries

You could also use ld option -Bdynamic

gcc <objectfiles> -static -lstatic1 -lstatic2 -Wl,-Bdynamic -ldynamic1 -ldynamic2

All libraries after it (including system ones linked by gcc automatically) will be linked dynamically.

What does it mean when a PostgreSQL process is "idle in transaction"?

The PostgreSQL manual indicates that this means the transaction is open (inside BEGIN) and idle. It's most likely a user connected using the monitor who is thinking or typing. I have plenty of those on my system, too.

If you're using Slony for replication, however, the Slony-I FAQ suggests idle in transaction may mean that the network connection was terminated abruptly. Check out the discussion in that FAQ for more details.

How to display multiple images in one figure correctly?

Here is my approach that you may try:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w=10
h=10
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
columns = 4
rows = 5
for i in range(1, columns*rows +1):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i)
    plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()

The resulting image:

output_image

Edit 1

Since this answer is popular beyond my expectation. And I see that a small change is needed to enable flexibility for the manipulation of the individual plots. So that I offer this new version to the original code. In essence, it provides:-

  1. access to individual axes of subplots
  2. possibility to plot more features on selected axes/subplot

New code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w = 10
h = 10
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9, 13))
columns = 4
rows = 5

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# ax enables access to manipulate each of subplots
ax = []

for i in range(columns*rows):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    # create subplot and append to ax
    ax.append( fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i+1) )
    ax[-1].set_title("ax:"+str(i))  # set title
    plt.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)

# do extra plots on selected axes/subplots
# note: index starts with 0
ax[2].plot(xs, 3*ys)
ax[19].plot(ys**2, xs)

plt.show()  # finally, render the plot

The resulting plot:

enter image description here

Edit 2

In the previous example, the code provides access to the sub-plots with single index, which is inconvenient when the figure has many rows/columns of sub-plots. Here is an alternative of it. The code below provides access to the sub-plots with [row_index][column_index], which is more suitable for manipulation of array of many sub-plots.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# settings
h, w = 10, 10        # for raster image
nrows, ncols = 5, 4  # array of sub-plots
figsize = [6, 8]     # figure size, inches

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting on selected sub-plots
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# create figure (fig), and array of axes (ax)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=nrows, ncols=ncols, figsize=figsize)

# plot simple raster image on each sub-plot
for i, axi in enumerate(ax.flat):
    # i runs from 0 to (nrows*ncols-1)
    # axi is equivalent with ax[rowid][colid]
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    axi.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)
    # get indices of row/column
    rowid = i // ncols
    colid = i % ncols
    # write row/col indices as axes' title for identification
    axi.set_title("Row:"+str(rowid)+", Col:"+str(colid))

# one can access the axes by ax[row_id][col_id]
# do additional plotting on ax[row_id][col_id] of your choice
ax[0][2].plot(xs, 3*ys, color='red', linewidth=3)
ax[4][3].plot(ys**2, xs, color='green', linewidth=3)

plt.tight_layout(True)
plt.show()

The resulting plot:

How to process SIGTERM signal gracefully?

Found easiest way for me. Here an example with fork for clarity that this way is useful for flow control.

import signal
import time
import sys
import os

def handle_exit(sig, frame):
    raise(SystemExit)

def main():
    time.sleep(120)

signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_exit)

p = os.fork()
if p == 0:
    main()
    os._exit()

try:
    os.waitpid(p, 0)
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
    print('exit handled')
    os.kill(p, 15)
    os.waitpid(p, 0)

using if else with eval in aspx page

If you absolutely do not want to use code-behind, you can try conditional operator for this:

<%# ((int)Eval("Percentage") < 50) ? "0 %" : Eval("Percentage") %>

That is assuming field Percentage contains integer.

Update: Version for VB.NET, just in case, provided by tomasofen:

<%# If(Eval("Status") < 50, "0 %", Eval("Percentage")) %>

How to configure CORS in a Spring Boot + Spring Security application?

After much searching for the error coming from javascript CORS, the only elegant solution I found for this case was configuring the cors of Spring's own class org.springframework.web.cors.CorsConfiguration.CorsConfiguration()

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.cors().configurationSource(request -> new CorsConfiguration().applyPermitDefaultValues());
    }

How to stretch children to fill cross-axis?

  • The children of a row-flexbox container automatically fill the container's vertical space.

  • Specify flex: 1; for a child if you want it to fill the remaining horizontal space:

Hibernate SessionFactory vs. JPA EntityManagerFactory

Prefer EntityManagerFactory and EntityManager. They are defined by the JPA standard.

SessionFactory and Session are hibernate-specific. The EntityManager invokes the hibernate session under the hood. And if you need some specific features that are not available in the EntityManager, you can obtain the session by calling:

Session session = entityManager.unwrap(Session.class);

How do you redirect HTTPS to HTTP?

This has not been tested but I think this should work using mod_rewrite

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Disable the postback on an <ASP:LinkButton>

I think you should investigate using a HyperLink control. It's a server-side control (so you can manipulate visibility and such from code), but it omits a regular ol' anchor tag and doesn't cause a postback.

pip3: command not found but python3-pip is already installed

Probably pip3 is installed in /usr/local/bin/ which is not in the PATH of the sudo (root) user. Use this instead

PHP CURL & HTTPS

Quick fix, add this in your options:

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false)

Now you have no idea what host you're actually connecting to, because cURL will not verify the certificate in any way. Hope you enjoy man-in-the-middle attacks!

Or just add it to your current function:

/**
 * Get a web file (HTML, XHTML, XML, image, etc.) from a URL.  Return an
 * array containing the HTTP server response header fields and content.
 */
function get_web_page( $url )
{
    $options = array(
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,     // return web page
        CURLOPT_HEADER         => false,    // don't return headers
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,     // follow redirects
        CURLOPT_ENCODING       => "",       // handle all encodings
        CURLOPT_USERAGENT      => "spider", // who am i
        CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER    => true,     // set referer on redirect
        CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120,      // timeout on connect
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 120,      // timeout on response
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS      => 10,       // stop after 10 redirects
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false     // Disabled SSL Cert checks
    );

    $ch      = curl_init( $url );
    curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
    $content = curl_exec( $ch );
    $err     = curl_errno( $ch );
    $errmsg  = curl_error( $ch );
    $header  = curl_getinfo( $ch );
    curl_close( $ch );

    $header['errno']   = $err;
    $header['errmsg']  = $errmsg;
    $header['content'] = $content;
    return $header;
}

How to find count of Null and Nan values for each column in a PySpark dataframe efficiently?

Edit and Continue: "Changes are not allowed when..."

I was facing the same problem in Visual Studio 2005. My configuration is 64 bits. It was working fine on one of the VS solution but not the other. I noticed i only enabled "Enable edit and continue" for the project where i wanted to make changes in debug mode. This finally solved for me when I selected "Enable and Continue" for my start up project as well.

There was no configuration changes except the enable and continue needed.

CodeIgniter - accessing $config variable in view

Also, the Common function config_item() works pretty much everywhere throughout the CodeIgniter instance. Controllers, models, views, libraries, helpers, hooks, whatever.

How do I get which JRadioButton is selected from a ButtonGroup

jRadioOne = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();
jRadioTwo = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();
jRadioThree = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();

... then for every button:

buttonGroup1.add(jRadioOne);
jRadioOne.setText("One");
jRadioOne.setActionCommand(ONE);
jRadioOne.addActionListener(radioButtonActionListener);

...listener

ActionListener radioButtonActionListener = new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
                radioButtonActionPerformed(evt);
            }
        };

...do whatever you need as response to event

protected void radioButtonActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {            
       System.out.println(evt.getActionCommand());
    }

Edit In Place Content Editing

Since this is a common piece of functionality it's a good idea to write a directive for this. In fact, someone already did that and open sourced it. I used editablespan library in one of my projects and it worked perfectly, highly recommended.

Reading Xml with XmlReader in C#

I am not experiented .But i think XmlReader is unnecessary. It is very hard to use.
XElement is very easy to use.
If you need performance ( faster ) you must change file format and use StreamReader and StreamWriter classes.

In a URL, should spaces be encoded using %20 or +?

It shouldn't matter, any more than if you encoded the letter A as %41.

However, if you're dealing with a system that doesn't recognize one form, it seems like you're just going to have to give it what it expects regardless of what the "spec" says.

Most efficient way to check for DBNull and then assign to a variable?

I've done something similar with extension methods. Here's my code:

public static class DataExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the value.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the data stored in the record</typeparam>
    /// <param name="record">The record.</param>
    /// <param name="columnName">Name of the column.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static T GetColumnValue<T>(this IDataRecord record, string columnName)
    {
        return GetColumnValue<T>(record, columnName, default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the value.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the data stored in the record</typeparam>
    /// <param name="record">The record.</param>
    /// <param name="columnName">Name of the column.</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The value to return if the column contains a <value>DBNull.Value</value> value.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static T GetColumnValue<T>(this IDataRecord record, string columnName, T defaultValue)
    {
        object value = record[columnName];
        if (value == null || value == DBNull.Value)
        {
            return defaultValue;
        }
        else
        {
            return (T)value;
        }
    }
}

To use it, you would do something like

int number = record.GetColumnValue<int>("Number",0)

Remove all subviews?

Use the Following code to remove all subviews.

Count if two criteria match - EXCEL formula

Add the sheet name infront of the cell, e.g.:

=COUNTIFS(stock!A:A,"M",stock!C:C,"Yes")

Assumes the sheet name is "stock"

IF statement: how to leave cell blank if condition is false ("" does not work)

Unfortunately, there is no formula way to result in a truly blank cell, "" is the best formulas can offer.

I dislike ISBLANK because it will not see cells that only have "" as blanks. Instead I prefer COUNTBLANK, which will count "" as blank, so basically =COUNTBLANK(C1)>0 means that C1 is blank or has "".

If you need to remove blank cells in a column, I would recommend filtering on the column for blanks, then selecting the resulting cells and pressing Del. After which you can remove the filter.

Compare two Timestamp in java

You can sort Timestamp as follows:

public int compare(Timestamp t1, Timestamp t2) {

    long l1 = t1.getTime();
    long l2 = t2.getTime();
    if (l2 > l1)
    return 1;
    else if (l1 > l2)
    return -1;
    else
    return 0;
}

Proper way to initialize a C# dictionary with values?

You can initialize a Dictionary (and other collections) inline. Each member is contained with braces:

Dictionary<int, StudentName> students = new Dictionary<int, StudentName>
{
    { 111, new StudentName { FirstName = "Sachin", LastName = "Karnik", ID = 211 } },
    { 112, new StudentName { FirstName = "Dina", LastName = "Salimzianova", ID = 317 } },
    { 113, new StudentName { FirstName = "Andy", LastName = "Ruth", ID = 198 } }
};

See Microsoft Docs for details.

jQuery selector to get form by name

    // this will give all the forms on the page.

    $('form')

   // If you know the name of form then.

    $('form[name="myFormName"]')

  //  If you don't know know the name but the position (starts with 0)

    $('form:eq(1)')  // 2nd form will be fetched.

Ring Buffer in Java

Consider CircularFifoBuffer from Apache Common.Collections. Unlike Queue you don't have to maintain the limited size of underlying collection and wrap it once you hit the limit.

Buffer buf = new CircularFifoBuffer(4);
buf.add("A");
buf.add("B");
buf.add("C");
buf.add("D"); //ABCD
buf.add("E"); //BCDE

CircularFifoBuffer will do this for you because of the following properties:

  • CircularFifoBuffer is a first in first out buffer with a fixed size that replaces its oldest element if full.
  • The removal order of a CircularFifoBuffer is based on the insertion order; elements are removed in the same order in which they were added. The iteration order is the same as the removal order.
  • The add(Object), BoundedFifoBuffer.remove() and BoundedFifoBuffer.get() operations all perform in constant time. All other operations perform in linear time or worse.

However you should consider it's limitations as well - for example, you can't add missing timeseries to this collection because it doens't allow nulls.

NOTE: When using current Common Collections (4.*), you have to use Queue. Like this:

Queue buf = new CircularFifoQueue(4);

How to call a stored procedure (with parameters) from another stored procedure without temp table

You can just call the Execute command.

EXEC spDoSomthing @myDate

Edit:

Since you want to return data..that's a little harder. You can use user defined functions instead that return data.

add onclick function to a submit button

  1. Create a hidden button with id="hiddenBtn" and type="submit" that do the submit
  2. Change current button to type="button"
  3. set onclick of the current button call a function look like below:

    function foo() { // do something before submit ... // trigger click event of the hidden button $('#hinddenBtn').trigger("click"); }

How do I make Git use the editor of my choice for commits?

Best settings for Sublime Text 3 as your Git editor (Windows & Linux instructions):

To follow these instructions in Windows make sure you have installed Git for Windows. In Windows, I like to use Git Bash so that it feels more like Linux.

First, we want to create a special Sublime Text project so that we can specify special project settings we want set whenever Git calls the editor, to make things easier when editing in Git. For example, I normally set my ruler to 120 chars in most projects, but for Git commit messages I want it to be 72 characters so that it fits nicely in a terminal when you call git log or git lg.


1. Create a Sublime Text project with settings we want to use to edit Git commit messages

Open Sublime Text and go to menu "File" ? "New Window" to create a new anonymous project. Go to menu "Project" ? "Save Project As..." and choose a place to save it. In Linux I saved it in my Linux home directory with the file name .gitconfig.sublime-project. Its path is therefore: ~/.gitconfig.sublime-project. In Windows also save it in your home directory, for example: C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\.gitconfig.sublime-project Now go to menu "Project" ? "Edit Project" to edit the project settings. Paste the following and save the settings. Make any further edits for your project settings if desired.

{
    // For folder settings help see here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/projects.html

    "folders":
    [

    ],

    "settings":
    {

        // Disables horizontal scrolling if enabled.
        // May be set to true, false, or "auto", where it will be disabled for
        // source code, and otherwise enabled.
        "word_wrap": false,

        // Set to a value other than 0 to force wrapping at that column rather than the
        // window width
        "wrap_width": 0,

        // Columns in which to display vertical rulers
        "rulers": [72, 50], //72 is recommended by git for commit message content, and 50 for commit titles

        // The number of spaces a tab is considered equal to
        "tab_size": 4,

        // Set to true to insert spaces when tab is pressed
        "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    },

    "build_systems":
    [

    ]

}

2. Set the editor to be used by Git

Now we need to set the editor to be used by Git, by editing the .gitconfig file.

For Linux:

Your user copy of this will be located in ~/.gitconfig. Open this file and add the following lines. Be sure to use the proper path name to the Git project you just created above! I'm using ~/.gitconfig.sublime-project.

[core]
    editor = subl --project ~/.gitconfig.sublime-project --wait

The --wait is important, as it forces Git to wait until you close the file before it continues on. The --project line is important to tell Sublime Text which project you want opened whenever Git opens Sublime Text.

Per @digitaldreamer's answer above (https://stackoverflow.com/a/2596835/4561887), "subl can be replaced by the full path of the executable but [the alias subl] is usually available when [Sublime is] correctly installed."

For Windows:

For Windows, first read the Linux instructions for background information. Now we will do something almost identical.

(OPTIONAL: create a subl alias for use in Git Bash):

Open up a text editor (for example, Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Geany, etc.), and create a file called ".bash_profile" in your home directory. Its path will therefore be: C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\.bash_profile. Save the following into it:

alias subl="/c/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text\ 3/subl.exe"

This creates a Git Bash alias called subl that we can now use in Git Bash for Windows, to easily open Sublime Text. This step isn't required, but it's useful for general Git Bash use. Now you can call subl ., for instance, in Git Bash to open up a new Sublime Text project in your current directory.

(MANDATORY):

Edit the .gitconfig file found in your home directory: C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME\.gitconfig, by adding the following to it. Notice the subtle changes from the Linux instructions above:

[core]
  editor = 'C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe' --project ~/.gitconfig.sublime-project --wait
  • Notice that you must specify the full path to the Sublime Text executable. Note the direction of the slashes! Use / NOT \ to separate folders in the path name! (Thanks VonC for helping me see this).
  • Our subl alias we made for Git Bash above doesn't work here, so you can't use it like we did in the Linux example, instead you must specify the whole path as shown above.
  • The ~ symbol, however, does still work here to get to your Windows home directory.

2.5. (Optional) Install the "Git" package into Sublime Text 3.

This gives you syntax highlighting for git commit messages, as well as access to other Git commands such as git blame (which I use frequently in Sublime Text) or git commit (which I don't use in Sublime Text since I'd prefer the command-line for general Git flow, as I've mentioned in my comments below this answer).

To install a package: First, ensure “Package Control” is installed. Next, press Ctrl + Shift + P (same as Tools ? Command Palette) and type all or part of “Package Control: Install Package”, then press Enter. In the search box that comes up, search for the package "Git" and hit Enter on it, or click on it, to automatically install it.

Once installed, Ctrl + Shift + P then searching for "git" will bring up Git commands you can use internally inside Sublime Text now, such as git blame.


3. Use it

Now when you call git commit, for instance, as normal from the command-line, Sublime Text will open up into the .gitconfig.sublime-project we created above, with that project's settings! As you type a paragraph you'll notice it extends past the ruler we set since soft word-wrap is off. To force hard wrap via auto-inserted hard-returns at the end of each line, put your cursor on the long line you want auto-wrapped and press Alt + Q. It will now hard-wrap/hard-fold at 72 characters, which is what we set in the project settings' "rulers" parameter above.

Now, save your commit message with Ctrl + S, and exit (to complete your git commit) with Ctrl + Shift + W.

Done!

Switch statement multiple cases in JavaScript

Use the fall-through feature of the switch statement. A matched case will run until a break (or the end of the switch statement) is found, so you could write it like:

switch (varName)
{
   case "afshin":
   case "saeed":
   case "larry": 
       alert('Hey');
       break;

   default: 
       alert('Default case');
}

Git - Ignore files during merge

You could use .gitignore to keep the config.xml out of the repository, and then use a post commit hook to upload the appropriate config.xml file to the server.

How to make google spreadsheet refresh itself every 1 minute?

I had a similar problem with crypto updates. A kludgy hack that gets around this is to include a '+ now() - now()' stunt at the end of the cell formula, with the setting as above to recalculate every minute. This worked for my price updates, but, definitely an ugly hack.

Static variable inside of a function in C

6 and 7 Because static variable intialise only once, So 5++ becomes 6 at 1st call 6++ becomes 7 at 2nd call Note-when 2nd call occurs it takes x value is 6 instead of 5 because x is static variable.

What exactly does big ? notation represent?

First let's understand what big O, big Theta and big Omega are. They are all sets of functions.

Big O is giving upper asymptotic bound, while big Omega is giving a lower bound. Big Theta gives both.

Everything that is ?(f(n)) is also O(f(n)), but not the other way around.
T(n) is said to be in ?(f(n)) if it is both in O(f(n)) and in Omega(f(n)).
In sets terminology, ?(f(n)) is the intersection of O(f(n)) and Omega(f(n))

For example, merge sort worst case is both O(n*log(n)) and Omega(n*log(n)) - and thus is also ?(n*log(n)), but it is also O(n^2), since n^2 is asymptotically "bigger" than it. However, it is not ?(n^2), Since the algorithm is not Omega(n^2).

A bit deeper mathematic explanation

O(n) is asymptotic upper bound. If T(n) is O(f(n)), it means that from a certain n0, there is a constant C such that T(n) <= C * f(n). On the other hand, big-Omega says there is a constant C2 such that T(n) >= C2 * f(n))).

Do not confuse!

Not to be confused with worst, best and average cases analysis: all three (Omega, O, Theta) notation are not related to the best, worst and average cases analysis of algorithms. Each one of these can be applied to each analysis.

We usually use it to analyze complexity of algorithms (like the merge sort example above). When we say "Algorithm A is O(f(n))", what we really mean is "The algorithms complexity under the worst1 case analysis is O(f(n))" - meaning - it scales "similar" (or formally, not worse than) the function f(n).

Why we care for the asymptotic bound of an algorithm?

Well, there are many reasons for it, but I believe the most important of them are:

  1. It is much harder to determine the exact complexity function, thus we "compromise" on the big-O/big-Theta notations, which are informative enough theoretically.
  2. The exact number of ops is also platform dependent. For example, if we have a vector (list) of 16 numbers. How much ops will it take? The answer is: it depends. Some CPUs allow vector additions, while other don't, so the answer varies between different implementations and different machines, which is an undesired property. The big-O notation however is much more constant between machines and implementations.

To demonstrate this issue, have a look at the following graphs: enter image description here

It is clear that f(n) = 2*n is "worse" than f(n) = n. But the difference is not quite as drastic as it is from the other function. We can see that f(n)=logn quickly getting much lower than the other functions, and f(n) = n^2 is quickly getting much higher than the others.
So - because of the reasons above, we "ignore" the constant factors (2* in the graphs example), and take only the big-O notation.

In the above example, f(n)=n, f(n)=2*n will both be in O(n) and in Omega(n) - and thus will also be in Theta(n).
On the other hand - f(n)=logn will be in O(n) (it is "better" than f(n)=n), but will NOT be in Omega(n) - and thus will also NOT be in Theta(n).
Symetrically, f(n)=n^2 will be in Omega(n), but NOT in O(n), and thus - is also NOT Theta(n).


1Usually, though not always. when the analysis class (worst, average and best) is missing, we really mean the worst case.
