How to turn on/off MySQL strict mode in localhost (xampp)?

->STRICT_TRANS_TABLES is responsible for setting MySQL strict mode.

->To check whether strict mode is enabled or not run the below sql:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';

If one of the value is STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, then strict mode is enabled, else not. In my case it gave

+--------------+------------------------------------------+ 
|Variable_name |Value                                     |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|sql_mode      |STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+

Hence strict mode is enabled in my case as one of the value is STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.

->To disable strict mode run the below sql:

set global sql_mode='';

[or any mode except STRICT_TRANS_TABLES. Ex: set global sql_mode='NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';]

->To again enable strict mode run the below sql:

set global sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES';

In what cases do I use malloc and/or new?

The new and delete operators can operate on classes and structures, whereas malloc and free only work with blocks of memory that need to be cast.

Using new/delete will help to improve your code as you will not need to cast allocated memory to the required data structure.

If you renamed the folder containing your Homestead project, you'll get this error. Visit your Homestead.yaml file and update any references to point to the renamed folder, then do vagrant up (etc.) again

Run bash script as daemon

Another cool trick is to run functions or subshells in background, not always feasible though

name(){
  echo "Do something"
  sleep 1

How to get the value from the GET parameters?

I found this ages ago, very easy:

function getUrlVars() {
    var vars = {};
    var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi,    
    function(m,key,value) {
      vars[key] = value;
    });
    return vars;
  }

Then call it like this:

var fType = getUrlVars()["type"];

Array.push() if does not exist?

a is the array of objects you have

a.findIndex(x => x.property=="WhateverPropertyYouWantToMatch") <0 ? 
a.push(objectYouWantToPush) : console.log("response if object exists");

INSERT INTO ... SELECT FROM ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

MySQL will assume the part before the equals references the columns named in the INSERT INTO clause, and the second part references the SELECT columns.

INSERT INTO lee(exp_id, created_by, location, animal, starttime, endtime, entct, 
                inact, inadur, inadist, 
                smlct, smldur, smldist, 
                larct, lardur, lardist, 
                emptyct, emptydur)
SELECT id, uid, t.location, t.animal, t.starttime, t.endtime, t.entct, 
       t.inact, t.inadur, t.inadist, 
       t.smlct, t.smldur, t.smldist,

twitter bootstrap typeahead ajax example

I've augmented the original typeahead Bootstrap plugin with ajax capabilities. Very easy to use:

Can anyone explain python's relative imports?

If you are going to call relative.py directly and i.e. if you really want to import from a top level module you have to explicitly add it to the sys.path list.
Here is how it should work:

# Add this line to the beginning of relative.py file
import sys
sys.path.append('..')

# Now you can do imports from one directory top cause it is in the sys.path
import parent

# And even like this:
from parent import Parent

If you think the above can cause some kind of inconsistency you can use this instead:

sys.path.append(sys.path[0] + "/..")

sys.path[0] refers to the path that the entry point was ran from.

Django - after login, redirect user to his custom page --> mysite.com/username

Got into django recently and been looking into a solution to that and found a method that might be useful.

So for example, if using allouth the default redirect is accounts/profile. Make a view that solely redirects to a location of choice using the username field like so:

def profile(request):
    name=request.user.username
    return redirect('-----choose where-----' + name + '/')

Then create a view that captures it in one of your apps, for example:

def profile(request, name):
    user = get_object_or_404(User, username=name)
    return render(request, 'myproject/user.html', {'profile': user})

Where the urlpatterns capture would look like this:

url(r'^(?P<name>.+)/$', views.profile, name='user')

Works well for me.

Can an Option in a Select tag carry multiple values?

One way to do this, first one an array, 2nd an object:

    <select name="">
        <option value='{"num_sequence":[0,1,2,3]}'>Option one</option>
        <option value='{"foo":"bar","one":"two"}'>Option two</option>
    </select>

Edited (3 years after answering) to put both values into JSON format (using JSON.stringify()) because of a complaint that my proof-of-concept answer "could confuse a newbie developer."

Where are logs located?

  • Ensure debug mode is on - either add APP_DEBUG=true to .env file or set an environment variable

  • Log files are in storage/logs folder. laravel.log is the default filename. If there is a permission issue with the log folder, Laravel just halts. So if your endpoint generally works - permissions are not an issue.

  • In case your calls don't even reach Laravel or aren't caused by code issues - check web server's log files (check your Apache/nginx config files to see the paths).

  • If you use PHP-FPM, check its log files as well (you can see the path to log file in PHP-FPM pool config).

Bootstrap 3 - disable navbar collapse

The nabvar will collapse on small devices. The point of collapsing is defined by @grid-float-breakpoint in variables. By default this will by before 768px. For screens below the 768 pixels screen width, the navbar will look like:

enter image description here

It's possible to change the @grid-float-breakpoint in variables.less and recompile Bootstrap. When doing this you also will have to change @screen-xs-max in navbar.less. You will have to set this value to your new @grid-float-breakpoint -1. See also: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/10465. This is needed to change navbar forms and dropdowns at the @grid-float-breakpoint to their mobile version too.

Easiest way is to customize bootstrap

find variable:

 @grid-float-breakpoint

which is set to @screen-sm, you can change it according to your needs. Hope it helps!


For SAAS Users

add your custom variables like $grid-float-breakpoint: 0px; before the @import "bootstrap.scss";

Java: Array with loop

The Array has declared without intializing the values and if you want to insert values by itterating the loop this code will work.

Public Class Program
{

public static void main(String args[])

{
 //Array Intialization
 int my[] = new int[6];

 for(int i=0;i<=5;i++)

{

//Storing array values in array
my[i]= i;

//Printing array values

System.out.println(my[i]);

}

}

Google Maps how to Show city or an Area outline

From what I searched, at this moment there is no option from Google in the Maps API v3 and there is an issue on the Google Maps API going back to 2008. There are some older questions - Add "Search Area" outline onto google maps result , Google has started highlighting search areas in Pink color. Is this feature available in Google Maps API 3? and you might find some newer answers here with updated information, but this is not a feature.

What you can do is draw shapes on your map - but for this you need to have the coordinates of the borders of your region.

Now, in order to get the administrative area boundaries, you will have to do a little work: http://www.gadm.org/country (if you are lucky and there is enough level of detail available there).

On this website you can locally download a file (there are many formats available) with the .kmz extension. Unzip it and you will have a .kml file which contains most administrative areas (cities, villages).

From this point on, when the user searches for a city/village, you simply retrieve the boundaries and draw around those coordinates on the map - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays#Polygons

I hope this helps you! Good luck!

border on Google Map using the above coordinates UPDATE: I made the borders of this city using the coordinates above

                   var ctaLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
                       url: 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/0grhlim3q4572jp/ROU_adm2%20-%20Copy.kml?dl=1'
  });
  ctaLayer.setMap(map);

(I put a small kml file on my Dropbox containing the borders of a single city)

Note that this uses the Google built in KML system, in which it their server gets the file, computes the view and spits it back to you - it has limited usage and I used it to show you how the borders look. In your application you should be able to parse the coordinates from the kml file, put them in an array (as the polygon documentation tells you - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/polygon-arrays ) and display them.

Note that there will be differences between the borders that Google sets on http://www.google.com/maps and the borders that you will get with this data.

Good luck! enter image description here

UPDATE: http://pastebin.com/x2V1aarJ , http://pastebin.com/Gh55EDW5 These are the javascript files (they were minified, so I used an online tool to make them readable) from the website. If you are not fully satisfied with this my solution, feel free to study them.

Best of luck!

pycharm convert tabs to spaces automatically

For selections, you can also convert the selection using the "To spaces" function. I usually just use it via the ctrl-shift-A then find "To Spaces" from there.

What is the best way to return different types of ResponseEntity in Spring MVC or Spring-Boot

Using custom exception class you can return different HTTP status code and dto object.

@PostMapping("/save")
public ResponseEntity<UserDto> saveUser(@RequestBody UserDto userDto) {
    if(userDto.getId() != null) {
        throw new UserNotFoundException("A new user cannot already have an ID");
    }
    return ResponseEntity.ok(userService.saveUser(userDto));
}

Exception class

import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;

@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, reason = "user not found")
public class UserNotFoundException extends RuntimeException {

    public UserNotFoundException(String message) {

        super(message);
    }
}

Excel VBA Automation Error: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

I have just met this problem today: I migrated my Excel project from Office 2007 to 2010. At a certain point, when my macro tried to Insert a new line (e.g. Range("5:5").Insert ), the same error message came. It happens only when previously another sheet has been edited (my macro switches to another sheet).

Thanks to Google, and your discussion, I found the following solution (based on the answer given by "red" at answered Jul 30 '13 at 0:27): after switching to the sheet a Cell has to be edited before inserting a new row. I have added the following code:

'=== Excel bugfix workaround - 2014.08.17
Range("B1").Activate
vCellValue = Range("B1").Value
Range("B1").ClearContents
Range("B1").Value = vCellValue

"B1" can be replaced by any cell on the sheet.

Prevent users from submitting a form by hitting Enter

Giving the form an action of 'javascript:void(0);' seems to do the trick

<form action="javascript:void(0);">
<input type="text" />
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(window).keydown(function(event){
        if(event.keyCode == 13) {
    alert('Hello');
        }
    });
});
</script>

check if a std::vector contains a certain object?

See question: How to find an item in a std::vector?

You'll also need to ensure you've implemented a suitable operator==() for your object, if the default one isn't sufficient for a "deep" equality test.

Line break (like <br>) using only css

You can use ::after to create a 0px-height block after the <h4>, which effectively moves anything after the <h4> to the next line:

h4 {_x000D_
  display: inline;_x000D_
}_x000D_
h4::after {_x000D_
  content: "";_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
}
_x000D_

What causes java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError?

Adding my 2 cents .If you are using scala and sbt and scala-logging as dependency ;then this can happen because scala-logging's earlier version had the name scala-logging-api.So;essentially the dependency resolutions do not happen because of different names leading to runtime errors while launching the scala application.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String?
{
    switch section
    {
        case 0:
            return "Apple Devices"
        case 1:
            return "Samsung Devices"
        default:
            return "Other Devices"
    }
}

Using '<%# Eval("item") %>'; Handling Null Value and showing 0 against

It should work as well

Eval("item") == null?"0": Eval("item");

Use of "instanceof" in Java

instanceof is a keyword that can be used to test if an object is of a specified type.

Example :

public class MainClass {
    public static void main(String[] a) {

    String s = "Hello";
    int i = 0;
    String g;
    if (s instanceof java.lang.String) {
       // This is going to be printed
       System.out.println("s is a String");
    }
    if (i instanceof Integer) {
       // This is going to be printed as autoboxing will happen (int -> Integer)
       System.out.println("i is an Integer");
    }
    if (g instanceof java.lang.String) {
       // This case is not going to happen because g is not initialized and
       // therefore is null and instanceof returns false for null. 
       System.out.println("g is a String");
    } 
}

ggplot2: sorting a plot

I don't know why this question was reopened but here is a tidyverse option.

x %>% 
  arrange(desc(value)) %>%
  mutate(variable=fct_reorder(variable,value)) %>% 
ggplot(aes(variable,value,fill=variable)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") + 
  scale_y_continuous("",label=scales::percent) + coord_flip() 

Compare two objects' properties to find differences?

Yes, with reflection - assuming each property type implements Equals appropriately. An alternative would be to use ReflectiveEquals recursively for all but some known types, but that gets tricky.

public bool ReflectiveEquals(object first, object second)
{
    if (first == null && second == null)
    {
        return true;
    }
    if (first == null || second == null)
    {
        return false;
    }
    Type firstType = first.GetType();
    if (second.GetType() != firstType)
    {
        return false; // Or throw an exception
    }
    // This will only use public properties. Is that enough?
    foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in firstType.GetProperties())
    {
        if (propertyInfo.CanRead)
        {
            object firstValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(first, null);
            object secondValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(second, null);
            if (!object.Equals(firstValue, secondValue))
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Inserting code in this LaTeX document with indentation

Use listings package.

Simple configuration for LaTeX header (before \begin{document}):

\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}

\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}
\definecolor{mauve}{rgb}{0.58,0,0.82}

\lstset{frame=tb,
  language=Java,
  aboveskip=3mm,
  belowskip=3mm,
  showstringspaces=false,
  columns=flexible,
  basicstyle={\small\ttfamily},
  numbers=none,
  numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
  keywordstyle=\color{blue},
  commentstyle=\color{dkgreen},
  stringstyle=\color{mauve},
  breaklines=true,
  breakatwhitespace=true,
  tabsize=3
}

You can change default language in the middle of document with \lstset{language=Java}.

Example of usage in the document:

\begin{lstlisting}
// Hello.java
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.Graphics;

public class Hello extends JApplet {
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        g.drawString("Hello, world!", 65, 95);
    }    
}
\end{lstlisting}

Here's the result:

Angularjs - simple form submit

I think the reason AngularJS does not say much about form submission because it depends more on 'two-way data binding'. In traditional html development you had one way data binding, i.e. once DOM rendered any changes you make to DOM element did not reflect in JS Object, however in AngularJS it works both way. Hence there's in fact no need to form submission. I have done a mid sized application using AngularJS without the need to form submission. If you are keen to submit form you can write a directive wrapping up your form which handles ENTER keydown and SUBMIT button click events and call form.submit().

If you want the sample source code of such a directive, please let me know by commenting on this. I figured out it would a simple directive that you can write yourself.

Checking if a variable is an integer in PHP

/!\ Best anwser is not correct, is_numeric() returns true for integer AND all numeric forms like "9.1"

For integer only you can use the unfriendly preg_match('/^\d+$/', $var) or the explicit and 2 times faster comparison :

if ((int) $var == $var) {
    // $var is an integer
}

PS: i know this is an old post but still the third in google looking for "php is integer"

Reset CSS display property to default value

If you have access to JavaScript, you can create an element and read its computed style.

function defaultValueOfCssPropertyForElement(cssPropertyName, elementTagName, opt_pseudoElement) {
    var pseudoElement = opt_pseudoElement || null;
    var element = document.createElement(elementTagName);
    document.body.appendChild(element);
    var computedStyle = getComputedStyle(element, pseudoElement)[cssPropertyName];
    element.remove();
    return computedStyle;
}

// Usage:
defaultValueOfCssPropertyForElement('display', 'div'); // Output: 'block'
defaultValueOfCssPropertyForElement('content', 'div', ':after'); // Output: 'none'

How do I use Node.js Crypto to create a HMAC-SHA1 hash?

Gwerder's solution wont work because hash = hmac.read(); happens before the stream is done being finalized. Thus AngraX's issues. Also the hmac.write statement is un-necessary in this example.

Instead do this:

var crypto    = require('crypto');
var hmac;
var algorithm = 'sha1';
var key       = 'abcdeg';
var text      = 'I love cupcakes';
var hash;

hmac = crypto.createHmac(algorithm, key);

// readout format:
hmac.setEncoding('hex');
//or also commonly: hmac.setEncoding('base64');

// callback is attached as listener to stream's finish event:
hmac.end(text, function () {
    hash = hmac.read();
    //...do something with the hash...
});

More formally, if you wish, the line

hmac.end(text, function () {

could be written

hmac.end(text, 'utf8', function () {

because in this example text is a utf string

jQuery: Get the cursor position of text in input without browser specific code?

Using the syntax text_element.selectionStart we can get the starting position of the selection of a text in terms of the index of the first character of the selected text in the text_element.value and in case we want to get the same of the last character in the selection we have to use text_element.selectionEnd.

Use it as follows:

<input type=text id=t1 value=abcd>
<button onclick="alert(document.getElementById('t1').selectionStart)">check position</button>

bootstrap 4 responsive utilities visible / hidden xs sm lg not working

With Bootstrap 4 .hidden-* classes were completely removed (yes, they were replaced by hidden-*-* but those classes are also gone from v4 alphas).

Starting with v4-beta, you can combine .d-*-none and .d-*-block classes to achieve the same result.

visible-* was removed as well; instead of using explicit .visible-* classes, make the element visible by not hiding it (again, use combinations of .d-none .d-md-block). Here is the working example:

<div class="col d-none d-sm-block">
    <span class="vcard">
        …
    </span>
</div>
<div class="col d-none d-xl-block">
    <div class="d-none d-md-block">
                …
    </div>
    <div class="d-none d-sm-block">
                …
    </div>
</div>

class="hidden-xs" becomes class="d-none d-sm-block" (or d-none d-sm-inline-block) ...

<span class="d-none d-sm-inline">hidden-xs</span>

<span class="d-none d-sm-inline-block">hidden-xs</span>

An example of Bootstrap 4 responsive utilities:

<div class="d-none d-sm-block"> hidden-xs           
  <div class="d-none d-md-block"> visible-md and up (hidden-sm and down)
    <div class="d-none d-lg-block"> visible-lg and up  (hidden-md and down)
      <div class="d-none d-xl-block"> visible-xl </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="d-sm-none"> eXtra Small <576px </div>
<div class="d-none d-sm-block d-md-none d-lg-none d-xl-none"> SMall =576px </div>
<div class="d-none d-md-block d-lg-none d-xl-none"> MeDium =768px </div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none"> LarGe =992px </div>
<div class="d-none d-xl-block"> eXtra Large =1200px </div>

<div class="d-xl-none"> hidden-xl (visible-lg and down)         
  <div class="d-lg-none d-xl-none"> visible-md and down (hidden-lg and up)
    <div class="d-md-none d-lg-none d-xl-none"> visible-sm and down  (or hidden-md and up)
      <div class="d-sm-none"> visible-xs </div>
    </div>
  </div>

HTML select drop-down with an input field

You can use input text with "list" attribute, which refers to the datalist of values.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<input type="text" name="city" list="cityname">_x000D_
    <datalist id="cityname">_x000D_
      <option value="Boston">_x000D_
      <option value="Cambridge">_x000D_
    </datalist>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This creates a free text input field that also has a drop-down to select predefined choices. Attribution for example and more information: https://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/datalist

byte array to pdf

Usually this happens if something is wrong with the byte array.

File.WriteAllBytes("filename.PDF", Byte[]);

This creates a new file, writes the specified byte array to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten.

Asynchronous implementation of this is also available.

public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAllBytesAsync 
(string path, byte[] bytes, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = null);

Async/Await Class Constructor

You may immediately invoke an anonymous async function that returns message and set it to the message variable. You might want to take a look at immediately invoked function expressions (IEFES), in case you are unfamiliar with this pattern. This will work like a charm.

var message = (async function() { return await grabUID(uid) })()

Conditional WHERE clause with CASE statement in Oracle

You can write the where clause as:

where (case when (:stateCode = '') then (1)
            when (:stateCode != '') and (vw.state_cd in (:stateCode)) then 1
            else 0)
       end) = 1;

Alternatively, remove the case entirely:

where (:stateCode = '') or
      ((:stateCode != '') and vw.state_cd in (:stateCode));

Or, even better:

where (:stateCode = '') or vw.state_cd in (:stateCode)

Abstract class in Java

An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract — it may or may not include abstract methods. Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be subclassed.

In other words, a class that is declared with abstract keyword, is known as abstract class in java. It can have abstract(method without body) and non-abstract methods (method with body).

Important Note:- Abstract classes cannot be used to instantiate objects, they can be used to create object references, because Java's approach to run-time Polymorphism is implemented through the use of superclass references. Thus, it must be possible to create a reference to an abstract class so that it can be used to point to a subclass object. You will see this feature in the below example

abstract class Bike{  
  abstract void run();  
}  

class Honda4 extends Bike{  
    void run(){
        System.out.println("running safely..");
    }  

    public static void main(String args[]){  
       Bike obj = new Honda4();  
       obj.run();  
    }  
}

How to replace all special character into a string using C#

Yes, you can use regular expressions in C#.

C++ style cast from unsigned char * to const char *

You would need to use a reinterpret_cast<> as the two types you are casting between are unrelated to each other.

Check if selected dropdown value is empty using jQuery

You need to use .change() event as well as using # to target element by id:

    }
});

    if (!(document.getElementById(super_id).checked)) {
        alert('selected checkbox is unchecked now')
    } else {
        alert('selected checkbox is checked now');
    }

How to work with string fields in a C struct?

This does not work:

string s = (string)malloc(sizeof string); 

string refers to a pointer, you need the size of the structure itself:

string s = malloc(sizeof (*string)); 

Note the lack of cast as well (conversion from void* (malloc's return type) is implicitly performed).

Also, in your main, you have a globally delcared patient, but that is uninitialized. Try:

 patient.number = 3;     
 patient.name = "John";     
 patient.address = "Baker street";     
 patient.birthdate = "4/15/2012";     
 patient.gender = 'M';     

before you read-access any of its members

Also, strcpy is inherently unsafe as it does not have boundary checking (will copy until the first '\0' is encountered, writing past allocated memory if the source is too long). Use strncpy instead, where you can at least specify the maximum number of characters copied -- read the documentation to ensure you pass the correct value, it is easy to make an off-by-one error.

Local and global temporary tables in SQL Server

Quoting from Books Online:

Local temporary tables are visible only in the current session; global temporary tables are visible to all sessions.

Temporary tables are automatically dropped when they go out of scope, unless explicitly dropped using DROP TABLE:

  • A local temporary table created in a stored procedure is dropped automatically when the stored procedure completes. The table can be referenced by any nested stored procedures executed by the stored procedure that created the table. The table cannot be referenced by the process which called the stored procedure that created the table.
  • All other local temporary tables are dropped automatically at the end of the current session.
  • Global temporary tables are automatically dropped when the session that created the table ends and all other tasks have stopped referencing them. The association between a task and a table is maintained only for the life of a single Transact-SQL statement. This means that a global temporary table is dropped at the completion of the last Transact-SQL statement that was actively referencing the table when the creating session ended.

How to get the width and height of an android.widget.ImageView?

Do a "git export" (like "svn export")?

If you want something that works with submodules this might be worth a go.

Note:

  • MASTER_DIR = a checkout with your submodules checked out also
  • DEST_DIR = where this export will end up
  • If you have rsync, I think you'd be able to do the same thing with even less ball ache.

Assumptions:

  • You need to run this from the parent directory of MASTER_DIR ( i.e from MASTER_DIR cd .. )
  • DEST_DIR is assumed to have been created. This is pretty easy to modify to include the creation of a DEST_DIR if you wanted to

cd MASTER_DIR && tar -zcvf ../DEST_DIR/export.tar.gz --exclude='.git*' . && cd ../DEST_DIR/ && tar xvfz export.tar.gz && rm export.tar.gz

Jquery assiging class to th in a table

You had thead in your selector, but there is no thead in your table. Also you had your selectors backwards. As you mentioned above, you wanted to be adding the tr class to the th, not vice-versa (although your comment seems to contradict what you wrote up above).

$('tr th').each(function(index){     if($('tr td').eq(index).attr('class') != ''){         // get the class of the td         var tdClass = $('tr td').eq(index).attr('class');         // add it to this th         $(this).addClass(tdClass );     } });

Can I call an overloaded constructor from another constructor of the same class in C#?

EDIT: According to the comments on the original post this is a C# question.

Short answer: yes, using the this keyword.

Long answer: yes, using the this keyword, and here's an example.

class MyClass
{
   private object someData;

   public MyClass(object data)
   {
      this.someData = data;
   }

   public MyClass() : this(new object())
   {
      // Calls the previous constructor with a new object, 
      // setting someData to that object
   }
}

How to sort a Pandas DataFrame by index?

Dataframes have a sort_index method which returns a copy by default. Pass inplace=True to operate in place.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], index=[100, 29, 234, 1, 150], columns=['A'])
df.sort_index(inplace=True)
print(df.to_string())

Gives me:

     A
1    4
29   2
100  1
150  5
234  3

How do I connect to a terminal to a serial-to-USB device on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)?

Long time reader, first time helper ;)

I'm going through the same hellish experience here with a Prolific USB <> Serial adapter and so far Linux is the easiest to get it to work.

On CentOS, I didn't need to install any drivers etc.. That said,

  • dmesg | grep -i tty or dmesg | grep -i usb showed me /dev/ttyUSB0.
  • screen ttyUSB0 9600 didn't do the trick for me like it did in OSX
  • minicom is new to me but it was complaining about lack of /dev/modem

However, this helped: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21271

So install minicom (yum install minicom) then enter its settings (minicom -s).

Then select Serial Port Setup and change the Serial Device (Option A) to /dev/ttyUSB0, or whatever your device file is as it slightly differs per distro.

Then change the Bps (Option E) to 9600 and the rest should be default (8N1 Y N)

Save as default, then simply minicom and Bob's your uncle.

HTH.

Rails: Adding an index after adding column

If you need to create a user_id then it would be a reasonable assumption that you are referencing a user table. In which case the migration shall be:

rails generate migration AddUserRefToProducts user:references

This command will generate the following migration:

class AddUserRefToProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_reference :user, :product, index: true
  end
end

After running rake db:migrate both a user_id column and an index will be added to the products table.

In case you just need to add an index to an existing column, e.g. name of a user table, the following technique may be helpful:

rails generate migration AddIndexToUsers name:string:index will generate the following migration:

class AddIndexToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :name, :string
    add_index :users, :name
  end
end

Delete add_column line and run the migration.

In the case described you could have issued rails generate migration AddIndexIdToTable index_id:integer:index command and then delete add_column line from the generated migration. But I'd rather recommended to undo the initial migration and add reference instead:

rails generate migration RemoveUserIdFromProducts user_id:integer
rails generate migration AddUserRefToProducts user:references

Oracle SQL update based on subquery between two tables

There are two ways to do what you are trying

One is a Multi-column Correlated Update

UPDATE PRODUCTION a
SET (name, count) = (
  SELECT name, count
  FROM STAGING b
  WHERE a.ID = b.ID);

DEMO

You can use merge

MERGE INTO PRODUCTION a
USING ( select id, name, count 
          from STAGING ) b
ON ( a.id = b.id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN 
UPDATE SET  a.name = b.name,
            a.count = b.count

How to expand and compute log(a + b)?

In general, one doesn't expand out log(a + b); you just deal with it as is. That said, there are occasionally circumstances where it makes sense to use the following identity:

log(a + b) = log(a * (1 + b/a)) = log a + log(1 + b/a)

(In fact, this identity is often used when implementing log in math libraries).

Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException

Everyone explained pretty well on it. Let me answer when should this class be used.

When Should You Use NoSuchElementException?

Java includes a few different ways to iterate through elements in a collection. The first of these classes, Enumeration, was introduced in JDK1.0 and is generally considered deprecated in favor of newer iteration classes, like Iterator and ListIterator.

As with most programming languages, the Iterator class includes a hasNext() method that returns a boolean indicating if the iteration has anymore elements. If hasNext() returns true, then the next() method will return the next element in the iteration. Unlike Enumeration, Iterator also has a remove() method, which removes the last element that was obtained via next().

While Iterator is generalized for use with all collections in the Java Collections Framework, ListIterator is more specialized and only works with List-based collections, like ArrayList, LinkedList, and so forth. However, ListIterator adds even more functionality by allowing iteration to traverse in both directions via hasPrevious() and previous() methods.

Position absolute but relative to parent

#father {
   position: relative;
}

#son1 {
   position: absolute;
   top: 0;
}

#son2 {
   position: absolute;
   bottom: 0;
}

This works because position: absolute means something like "use top, right, bottom, left to position yourself in relation to the nearest ancestor who has position: absolute or position: relative."

So we make #father have position: relative, and the children have position: absolute, then use top and bottom to position the children.

Edit a specific Line of a Text File in C#

I guess the below should work (instead of the writer part from your example). I'm unfortunately with no build environment so It's from memory but I hope it helps

using (var fs = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite)))
        {
            var destinationReader = StreamReader(fs);
            var writer = StreamWriter(fs);
            while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
              if (line_number == line_to_edit)
                {
                    writer.WriteLine(lineToWrite);
                }
                else
                {
                    destinationReader .ReadLine();
                }
                line_number++;

Google Chrome forcing download of "f.txt" file

Seems related to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-caja-discuss/ite6K5c8mqs/Ayqw72XJ9G8J.

The so-called "Rosetta Flash" vulnerability is that allowing arbitrary yet identifier-like text at the beginning of a JSONP response is sufficient for it to be interpreted as a Flash file executing in that origin. See for more information: http://miki.it/blog/2014/7/8/abusing-jsonp-with-rosetta-flash/

JSONP responses from the proxy servlet now: * are prefixed with "/**/", which still allows them to execute as JSONP but removes requester control over the first bytes of the response. * have the response header Content-Disposition: attachment.

str2.equals( str )

If you want to ignore case

str2.equalsIgnoreCase( str )

C# password TextBox in a ASP.net website

Error in installation a R package

The solution indicated by Guannan Shen has one drawback that usually goes unnoticed.

When you run sudo R in order to run install.packages() as superuser, the directories in which you install the library end up belonging to root user, a.k.a., the superuser.

So, next time you need to update your libraries, you will not remember that you ran sudo, therefore leaving root as the owner of the files and directories; that eventually causes the error when trying to move files, because no one can overwrite root but themself.

That can be averted by running

sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername *

in the directory lib that contains your local libraries, replacing yourusername by the adequated value in your installation. Then you try installing once again.

HTML image bottom alignment inside DIV container

Set the parent div as position:relative and the inner element to position:absolute; bottom:0

Using Position Relative/Absolute within a TD?

also works if you do a "display: block;" on the td, destroying the td identity, but works!

What, exactly, is needed for "margin: 0 auto;" to work?

Complete rule for CSS:

  1. (display: block AND width not auto) OR display: table
  2. float: none
  3. position: relative

What are the differences between Pandas and NumPy+SciPy in Python?

pandas provides high level data manipulation tools built on top of NumPy. NumPy by itself is a fairly low-level tool, similar to MATLAB. pandas on the other hand provides rich time series functionality, data alignment, NA-friendly statistics, groupby, merge and join methods, and lots of other conveniences. It has become very popular in recent years in financial applications. I will have a chapter dedicated to financial data analysis using pandas in my upcoming book.

What's the equivalent of Java's Thread.sleep() in JavaScript?

You can either write a spin loop (a loop that just loops for a long period of time performing some sort of computation to delay the function) or use:

setTimeout("Func1()", 3000);

This will call 'Func1()' after 3 seconds.

Edit:

Credit goes to the commenters, but you can pass anonymous functions to setTimeout.

setTimeout(function() {
   //Do some stuff here
}, 3000);

This is much more efficient and does not invoke javascript's eval function.

$_POST vs. $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'

They both work the same way, but $_POST should be used as it is cleaner. You can add isset() to it to check it exists.

Set focus on TextBox in WPF from view model

This is an old thread, but there doesn't seem to be an answer with code that addresses the issues with Anavanka's accepted answer: it doesn't work if you set the property in the viewmodel to false, or if you set your property to true, the user manually clicks on something else, and then you set it to true again. I couldn't get Zamotic's solution to work reliably in these cases either.

Pulling together some of the discussions above gives me the code below which does address these issues I think:

public static class FocusExtension
{
    public static bool GetIsFocused(DependencyObject obj)
    {
        return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsFocusedProperty);
    }

    public static void SetIsFocused(DependencyObject obj, bool value)
    {
        obj.SetValue(IsFocusedProperty, value);
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsFocusedProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
         "IsFocused", typeof(bool), typeof(FocusExtension),
         new UIPropertyMetadata(false, null, OnCoerceValue));

    private static object OnCoerceValue(DependencyObject d, object baseValue)
    {
        if ((bool)baseValue)
            ((UIElement)d).Focus();
        else if (((UIElement) d).IsFocused)
            Keyboard.ClearFocus();
        return ((bool)baseValue);
    }
}

Having said that, this is still complex for something that can be done in one line in codebehind, and CoerceValue isn't really meant to be used in this way, so maybe codebehind is the way to go.

Pointer vs. Reference

Consider C#'s out keyword. The compiler requires the caller of a method to apply the out keyword to any out args, even though it knows already if they are. This is intended to enhance readability. Although with modern IDEs I'm inclined to think that this is a job for syntax (or semantic) highlighting.

How do I join two lists in Java?

You could do it with a static import and a helper class

nb the generification of this class could probably be improved

public class Lists {

   private Lists() { } // can't be instantiated

   public static List<T> join(List<T>... lists) {
      List<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();
      for(List<T> list : lists) {
         result.addAll(list);
      }
      return results;
   }

}

Then you can do things like

import static Lists.join;
List<T> result = join(list1, list2, list3, list4);

How can I find out what version of git I'm running?

which git &> /dev/null || { echo >&2 "I require git but it's not installed.  Aborting."; exit 1; }
echo "Git is installed."

That will echo "Git is installed" if it is, otherwise, it'll echo an error message. You can use this for scripts that use git

It's also customizable, so you can change "which git" to "which java" or something, and change the error message.

Adding JPanel to JFrame

do it simply

public class Test{

    f.setSize(int w, int h);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
    JPanel p = new JPanel(); 
    f.getContentPane().add(p);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
     EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
     public void run(){
         try{
             new Test();
         }catch(Exception e){
             e.printStackTrace();
         }

 }
         );
}

}

How to change background color in the Notepad++ text editor?

There seems to have been an update some time in the past 3 years which changes the location of where to place themes in order to get them working.

Previosuly, themes were located in the Notepad++ installation folder. Now they are located in AppData:

C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes

My answer is an update to @Amit-IO's answer about manually copying the themes.

  1. In Explorer, browse to: %AppData%\Notepad++.
  2. If a folder called themes does not exist, create it.
  3. Download your favourite theme from wherever (see Amit-IO's answer for a good list) and save it to %AppData%\Notepad++\themes.
  4. Restart Notepad++ and then use Settings -> Style Configurator. The new theme(s) will appear in the list.

Change div width live with jQuery

You can use, which will be triggered when the window resizes.

$( window ).bind("resize", function(){
    // Change the width of the div
    $("#yourdiv").width( 600 );
});

If you want a DIV width as percentage of the screen, just use CSS width : 80%;.

Converting Chart.js canvas chart to image using .toDataUrl() results in blank image

You can also use the toBase64Image() method setting animation: false

Java, How to implement a Shift Cipher (Caesar Cipher)

Java Shift Caesar Cipher by shift spaces.

Restrictions:

  1. Only works with a positive number in the shift parameter.
  2. Only works with shift less than 26.
  3. Does a += which will bog the computer down for bodies of text longer than a few thousand characters.
  4. Does a cast number to character, so it will fail with anything but ascii letters.
  5. Only tolerates letters a through z. Cannot handle spaces, numbers, symbols or unicode.
  6. Code violates the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle by repeating the calculation more than it has to.

Pseudocode:

  1. Loop through each character in the string.
  2. Add shift to the character and if it falls off the end of the alphabet then subtract shift from the number of letters in the alphabet (26)
  3. If the shift does not make the character fall off the end of the alphabet, then add the shift to the character.
  4. Append the character onto a new string. Return the string.

Function:

String cipher(String msg, int shift){
    String s = "";
    int len = msg.length();
    for(int x = 0; x < len; x++){
        char c = (char)(msg.charAt(x) + shift);
        if (c > 'z')
            s += (char)(msg.charAt(x) - (26-shift));
        else
            s += (char)(msg.charAt(x) + shift);
    }
    return s;
}

How to invoke it:

System.out.println(cipher("abc", 3));  //prints def
System.out.println(cipher("xyz", 3));  //prints abc

Exit while loop by user hitting ENTER key

The following works from me:

i = '0'
while len(i) != 0:
    i = list(map(int, input(),split()))

Getting Index of an item in an arraylist;

You could implement hashCode/equals of your AuctionItem so that two of them are equal if they have the same name. When you do this you can use the methods indexOf and contains of the ArrayList like this: arrayList.indexOf(new AuctionItem("The name")). Or when you assume in the equals method that a String is passed: arrayList.indexOf("The name"). But that's not the best design.

But I would also prefer using a HashMap to map the name to the item.

How to switch text case in visual studio code

TypeError: unhashable type: 'list' when using built-in set function

Sets require their items to be hashable. Out of types predefined by Python only the immutable ones, such as strings, numbers, and tuples, are hashable. Mutable types, such as lists and dicts, are not hashable because a change of their contents would change the hash and break the lookup code.

Since you're sorting the list anyway, just place the duplicate removal after the list is already sorted. This is easy to implement, doesn't increase algorithmic complexity of the operation, and doesn't require changing sublists to tuples:

def uniq(lst):
    last = object()
    for item in lst:
        if item == last:
            continue
        yield item
        last = item

def sort_and_deduplicate(l):
    return list(uniq(sorted(l, reverse=True)))

Posting form to different MVC post action depending on the clicked submit button

BEST ANSWER 1:

  2. ASP.Net MVC 4 Form with 2 submit buttons/actions

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/12/09/asp-net-mvc-framework-part-4-handling-form-edit-and-post-scenarios.aspx

ANSWER 2

Reference: dotnet-tricks - Handling multiple submit buttons on the same form - MVC Razor

Second Approach

Adding a new Form for handling Cancel button click. Now, on Cancel button click we will post the second form and will redirect to the home page.

Third Approach: Client Script

<button name="ClientCancel" type="button" 
    onclick=" document.location.href = $('#cancelUrl').attr('href');">Cancel (Client Side)
</button>
<a id="cancelUrl" href="@Html.AttributeEncode(Url.Action("Index", "Home"))" 
style="display:none;"></a>

Getting the client IP address: REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, what else could be useful?

In addition to REMOTE_ADDR and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR there are some other headers that can be set such as:

  • HTTP_CLIENT_IP
  • HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR can be comma delimited list of IPs
  • HTTP_X_FORWARDED
  • HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP
  • HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR
  • HTTP_FORWARDED

What does enumerate() mean?

It's a builtin function that returns an object that can be iterated over. See the documentation.

In short, it loops over the elements of an iterable (like a list), as well as an index number, combined in a tuple:

for item in enumerate(["a", "b", "c"]):
    print item

prints

(0, "a")
(1, "b")
(2, "c")

It's helpful if you want to loop over a sequence (or other iterable thing), and also want to have an index counter available. If you want the counter to start from some other value (usually 1), you can give that as second argument to enumerate.

Why and how to fix? IIS Express "The specified port is in use"

For me only thing worked is removing the element containing my application name, path and binding info under </system.applicationHost> element in applicationhost file. To be found under C:\Users\yourUsername\Documents\IISExpress\config

Closed the the solution , deleted the bad site element , save the applicationhost file and close. Reopen the application/Website from Visual studio using Admin rights - Rebuilt and Run. Voila... A new port is auto assigned to your application which solves the purpose.

Can also be verified without running-- check the Properties window for the solution and URL will have new port number.

Convert String to java.util.Date

java.time

While in 2010, java.util.Date was the class we all used (toghether with DateFormat and Calendar), those classes were always poorly designed and are now long outdated. Today one would use java.time, the modern Java date and time API.

        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("d-MMM-yyyy,HH:mm:ss");

        String dateTimeStringFromSqlite = "29-Apr-2010,13:00:14";
        LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(dateTimeStringFromSqlite, formatter);
        System.out.println("output here: " + dateTime);

Output is:

output here: 2010-04-29T13:00:14

What went wrong in your code?

The combination of uppercase HH and aaa in your format pattern strings does not make much sense since HH is for hour of day, rendering the AM/PM marker from aaa superfluous. It should not do any harm, though, and I have been unable to reproduce the exact results you reported. In any case, your comment is to the point no matter if one uses the old-fashioned SimpleDateFormat or the modern DateTimeFormatter:

'aaa' should not be used, if you use 'aaa' then specify 'hh'

Lowercase hh is for hour within AM or PM, from 01 through 12, so would require an AM/PM marker.

Other tips

  • In your database, since I understand that SQLite hasn’t got a built-in datetime type, use the standard ISO 8601 format and store time in UTC, for example 2010-04-29T07:30:14Z (the modern Instant class parses and formats such strings as its default, that is, without any explicit formatter).
  • Don’t use an offset such as GMT+05:30 for time zone. Prefer a real time zone, for example Asia/Colombo, Asia/Kolkata or America/New_York.
  • If you wanted to use the outdated DateFormat, its parse method returns a Date, so you don’t need the cast in Date lNextDate = (Date)lFormatter.parse(lNextDate);.

Question: Can I use java.time on Android?

Yes, java.time works nicely on older and newer Android devices. It just requires at least Java 6.

  • In Java 8 and later and on newer Android devices (from API level 26) the modern API comes built-in.
  • In Java 6 and 7 get the ThreeTen Backport, the backport of the modern classes (ThreeTen for JSR 310; see the links at the bottom).
  • On (older) Android use the Android edition of ThreeTen Backport. It’s called ThreeTenABP. And make sure you import the date and time classes from org.threeten.bp with subpackages.

def permutations(nums):
    ans = [[]]
    cache = Counter(nums)

    for idx, x in enumerate(nums):
        result = []
        for items in ans:
            cache1 = Counter(items)
            for id, n in enumerate(nums):
                if cache[n] != cache1[n] and items + [n] not in result:
                    result.append(items + [n])

        ans = result
    return ans
permutations([1, 2, 2])
> [[1, 2, 2], [2, 1, 2], [2, 2, 1]]

Check empty string in Swift?

In Python, how do I determine if an object is iterable?

The easiest way, respecting the Python's duck typing, is to catch the error (Python knows perfectly what does it expect from an object to become an iterator):

class A(object):
    def __getitem__(self, item):
        return something

class B(object):
    def __iter__(self):
        # Return a compliant iterator. Just an example
        return iter([])

class C(object):
    def __iter__(self):
        # Return crap
        return 1

class D(object): pass

def iterable(obj):
    try:
        iter(obj)
        return True
    except:
        return False

assert iterable(A())
assert iterable(B())
assert iterable(C())
assert not iterable(D())

Notes:

  1. It is irrelevant the distinction whether the object is not iterable, or a buggy __iter__ has been implemented, if the exception type is the same: anyway you will not be able to iterate the object.
  2. I think I understand your concern: How does callable exists as a check if I could also rely on duck typing to raise an AttributeError if __call__ is not defined for my object, but that's not the case for iterable checking?

    I don't know the answer, but you can either implement the function I (and other users) gave, or just catch the exception in your code (your implementation in that part will be like the function I wrote - just ensure you isolate the iterator creation from the rest of the code so you can capture the exception and distinguish it from another TypeError.

Declaring a custom android UI element using XML

It seems that Google has updated its developer page and added various trainings there.

One of them deals with the creation of custom views and can be found here

fitting data with numpy

Note that you can use the Polynomial class directly to do the fitting and return a Polynomial instance.

from numpy.polynomial import Polynomial

p = Polynomial.fit(x, y, 4)
plt.plot(*p.linspace())

p uses scaled and shifted x values for numerical stability. If you need the usual form of the coefficients, you will need to follow with

pnormal = p.convert(domain=(-1, 1))

Running Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python

The result stated above may be correct, but isn't working with the latest webdriver. Here is my solution for the above question. Simple and sweet


        http_proxy  = "ip_addr:port"
        https_proxy = "ip_addr:port"

        webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy']={
            "httpProxy":http_proxy,
            "sslProxy":https_proxy,
            "proxyType":"MANUAL"
        }

        driver = webdriver.Firefox()

OR

    http_proxy  = "http://ip:port"
    https_proxy = "https://ip:port"

    proxyDict = {
                    "http"  : http_proxy,
                    "https" : https_proxy,
                }

    driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxyDict)

Multi column forms with fieldsets

There are a couple of things that need to be adjusted in your layout:

  1. You are nesting col elements within form-group elements. This should be the other way around (the form-group should be within the col-sm-xx element).

  2. You should always use a row div for each new "row" in your design. In your case, you would need at least 5 rows (Username, Password and co, Title/First/Last name, email, Language). Otherwise, your problematic .col-sm-12 is still on the same row with the above 3 .col-sm-4 resulting in a total of columns greater than 12, and causing the overlap problem.

Here is a fixed demo.

And an excerpt of what the problematic section HTML should become:

<fieldset>
    <legend>Personal Information</legend>
    <div class='row'>
        <div class='col-sm-4'>    
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for="user_title">Title</label>
                <input class="form-control" id="user_title" name="user[title]" size="30" type="text" />
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class='col-sm-4'>
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for="user_firstname">First name</label>
                <input class="form-control" id="user_firstname" name="user[firstname]" required="true" size="30" type="text" />
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class='col-sm-4'>
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for="user_lastname">Last name</label>
                <input class="form-control" id="user_lastname" name="user[lastname]" required="true" size="30" type="text" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class='row'>
        <div class='col-sm-12'>
            <div class='form-group'>

                <label for="user_email">Email</label>
                <input class="form-control required email" id="user_email" name="user[email]" required="true" size="30" type="text" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</fieldset>

Selecting empty text input using jQuery

Since creating an JQuery object for every comparison is not efficient, just use:

$.expr[":"].blank = function(element) {
    return element.value == "";
};

Then you can do:

JQuery html() vs. innerHTML

Specifically regarding "Can I rely completely upon jquery html() method that it'll perform like innerHTML" my answer is NO!

Run this in internet explorer 7 or 8 and you'll see.

jQuery produces bad HTML when setting HTML containing a <FORM> tag nested within a <P> tag where the beginning of the string is a newline!

There are several test cases here and the comments when run should be self explanatory enough. This is quite obscure, but not understanding what's going on is a little disconcerting. I'm going to file a bug report.

Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated

It's really simple to fix the issue, however keep in mind that you should fork and commit your changes for each library you are using in their repositories to help others as well.

Let's say you have something like this in your code:

$str = "test";
echo($str{0});

since PHP 7.4 curly braces method to get individual characters inside a string has been deprecated, so change the above syntax into this:

$str = "test";
echo($str[0]);

Fixing the code in the question will look something like this:

public function getRecordID(string $zoneID, string $type = '', string $name = ''): string
{
    $records = $this->listRecords($zoneID, $type, $name);
    if (isset($records->result[0]->id)) {
        return $records->result[0]->id;
    }
    return false;
}

Set height 100% on absolute div

try adding

position:relative

to your body styles. Whenever positioning anything absolutely, you need one of the parent containers to be positioned relative as this will make the item be positioned absolute to the parent container that is relative.

As you had no relative elements, the css will not know what the div is absolutely position to and therefore will not know what to take 100% height of

Python string prints as [u'String']

[u'String'] is a text representation of a list that contains a Unicode string on Python 2.

If you run print(some_list) then it is equivalent to
print'[%s]' % ', '.join(map(repr, some_list)) i.e., to create a text representation of a Python object with the type list, repr() function is called for each item.

Don't confuse a Python object and its text representationrepr('a') != 'a' and even the text representation of the text representation differs: repr(repr('a')) != repr('a').

repr(obj) returns a string that contains a printable representation of an object. Its purpose is to be an unambiguous representation of an object that can be useful for debugging, in a REPL. Often eval(repr(obj)) == obj.

To avoid calling repr(), you could print list items directly (if they are all Unicode strings) e.g.: print ",".join(some_list)—it prints a comma separated list of the strings: String

Do not encode a Unicode string to bytes using a hardcoded character encoding, print Unicode directly instead. Otherwise, the code may fail because the encoding can't represent all the characters e.g., if you try to use 'ascii' encoding with non-ascii characters. Or the code silently produces mojibake (corrupted data is passed further in a pipeline) if the environment uses an encoding that is incompatible with the hardcoded encoding.

How to use a WSDL file to create a WCF service (not make a call)

Use svcutil.exe with the /sc switch to generate the WCF contracts. This will create a code file that you can add to your project. It will contain all interfaces and data types you need to create your service. Change the output location using the /o switch, or you can find the file in the folder where you ran svcutil.exe. The default language is C# but I think (I've never tried it) you should be able to change this using /l:vb.

svcutil /sc "WSDL file path"

If your WSDL has any supporting XSD files pass those in as arguments after the WSDL.

svcutil /sc "WSDL file path" "XSD 1 file path" "XSD 2 file path" ... "XSD n file path"

Then create a new class that is your service and implement the contract interface you just created.

Height equal to dynamic width (CSS fluid layout)

really this belongs as a comment to Nathan's answer, but I'm not allowed to do that yet...
I wanted to maintain the aspect ratio, even if there is too much stuff to fit in the box. His example expands the height, changing the aspect ratio. I found adding

overflow: hidden;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: auto;

to the .element helped. See http://jsfiddle.net/B8FU8/3111/

Why does 'git commit' not save my changes?

You didn't add the changes. Either specifically add them via

git add filename1 filename2

or add all changes (from root path of the project)

git add .

or use the shorthand -a while commiting:

git commit -a -m "message".

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

If you start execution with gc logging turned on you get the info on file. Otherwise 'jmap -heap ' will give you what you want. See the jmap doc page for more.

Please note that jmap should not be used in a production environment unless absolutely needed as the tool halts the application to be able to determine actual heap usage. Usually this is not desired in a production environment.

How to convert empty spaces into null values, using SQL Server?

A case statement should do the trick when selecting from your source table:

CASE
  WHEN col1 = ' ' THEN NULL
  ELSE col1
END col1

Also, one thing to note is that your LTRIM and RTRIM reduce the value from a space (' ') to blank (''). If you need to remove white space, then the case statement should be modified appropriately:

CASE
  WHEN LTRIM(RTRIM(col1)) = '' THEN NULL
  ELSE LTRIM(RTRIM(col1))
END col1

Returning JSON response from Servlet to Javascript/JSP page

I used JSONObject as shown below in Servlet.

    JSONObject jsonReturn = new JSONObject();

    NhAdminTree = AdminTasks.GetNeighborhoodTreeForNhAdministrator( connection, bwcon, userName);

    map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    map.put("Status", "Success");
    map.put("FailureReason", "None");
    map.put("DataElements", "2");

    jsonReturn = new JSONObject();
    jsonReturn.accumulate("Header", map);

    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    list.add(NhAdminTree);
    list.add(userName);

    jsonReturn.accumulate("Elements", list);

The Servlet returns this JSON object as shown below:

    response.setContentType("application/json");
    response.getWriter().write(jsonReturn.toString());

This Servlet is called from Browser using AngularJs as below

$scope.GetNeighborhoodTreeUsingPost = function(){
    alert("Clicked GetNeighborhoodTreeUsingPost : " + $scope.userName );

    $http({

        method: 'POST',
        url : 'http://localhost:8080/EPortal/xlEPortalService',
        headers: {
           'Content-Type': 'application/json'
         },
        data : {
            'action': 64,
            'userName' : $scope.userName
        }
    }).success(function(data, status, headers, config){
        alert("DATA.header.status : " + data.Header.Status);
        alert("DATA.header.FailureReason : " + data.Header.FailureReason);
        alert("DATA.header.DataElements : " + data.Header.DataElements);
        alert("DATA.elements : " + data.Elements);

    }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        alert(data + " : " + status + " : " + headers + " : " + config);
    });

};

This code worked and it is showing correct data in alert dialog box:

Data.header.status : Success

Data.header.FailureReason : None

Data.header.DetailElements : 2

Data.Elements : Coma seperated string values i.e. NhAdminTree, userName

Easy way to password-protect php page

Not exactly the most robust password protection here, so please don't use this to protect credit card numbers or something very important.

Simply drop all of the following code into a file called (secure.php), change the user and pass from "admin" to whatever you want. Then right under those lines where it says include("secure.html"), simply replace that with the filename you want them to be able to see.

They will access this page at [YouDomain.com/secure.php] and then the PHP script will internally include the file you want password protected so they won't know the name of that file, and can't later just access it directly bypassing the password prompt.

If you would like to add a further level of protection, I would recommend you take your (secure.html) file outside of your site's root folder [/public_html], and place it on the same level as that directory, so that it is not inside the directory. Then in the PHP script where you are including the file simply use ("../secure.html"). That (../) means go back a directory to find the file. Doing it this way, the only way someone can access the content that's on the (secure.html) page is through the (secure.php) script.

<?php
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];

if($user == "admin"
&& $pass == "admin")
{
        include("secure.html");
}
else
{
    if(isset($_POST))
    {?>

            <form method="POST" action="secure.php">
            User <input type="text" name="user"></input><br/>
            Pass <input type="password" name="pass"></input><br/>
            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go"></input>
            </form>
    <?}
}
?>

C string append

You need to allocate new space as well. Consider this code fragment:

char * new_str ;
if((new_str = malloc(strlen(str1)+strlen(str2)+1)) != NULL){
    new_str[0] = '\0';   // ensures the memory is an empty string
    strcat(new_str,str1);
    strcat(new_str,str2);
} else {
    fprintf(STDERR,"malloc failed!\n");
    // exit?
}

You might want to consider strnlen(3) which is slightly safer.

Updated, see above. In some versions of the C runtime, the memory returned by malloc isn't initialized to 0. Setting the first byte of new_str to zero ensures that it looks like an empty string to strcat.

CSS center content inside div

To center a div, set it's width to some value and add margin: auto.

#partners .wrap {
    width: 655px;
    margin: auto;
}

EDIT, you want to center the div contents, not the div itself. You need to change display property of h2, ul and li to inline, and remove the float: left.

#partners li, ul, h2 {
    display: inline;
    float: none;
}

Then, they will be layed out like normal text elements, and aligned according to text-align property of their container, which is what you want.

Nginx -- static file serving confusion with root & alias

alias is used to replace the location part path (LPP) in the request path, while the root is used to be prepended to the request path.

They are two ways to map the request path to the final file path.

alias could only be used in location block, and it will override the outside root.

alias and root cannot be used in location block together.

Function Pointers in Java

You can use reflection to do it.

Pass as parameter the object and the method name (as a string) and then invoke the method. For example:

Object methodCaller(Object theObject, String methodName) {
   return theObject.getClass().getMethod(methodName).invoke(theObject);
   // Catch the exceptions
}

And then use it as in:

String theDescription = methodCaller(object1, "toString");
Class theClass = methodCaller(object2, "getClass");

Of course, check all exceptions and add the needed casts.

Looping from 1 to infinity in Python

If you're doing that in C, then your judgement there is as cloudy as it would be in Python :-)

For a loop that exits on a simple condition check at the start of each iteration, it's more usual (and clearer, in my opinion) to just do that in the looping construct itself. In other words, something like (if you need i after loop end):

int i = 0;
while (! thereIsAReasonToBreak(i)) {
    // do something
    i++;
}

or (if i can be scoped to just the loop):

for (int i = 0; ! thereIsAReasonToBreak(i); ++i) {
    // do something
}

That would translate to the Python equivalent:

i = 0
while not there_is_a_reason_to_break(i):
    # do something
    i += 1

Only if you need to exit in the middle of the loop somewhere (or if your condition is complex enough that it would render your looping statement far less readable) would you need to worry about breaking.

When your potential exit is a simple one at the start of the loop (as it appears to be here), it's usually better to encode the exit into the loop itself.

Make XmlHttpRequest POST using JSON

If you use JSON properly, you can have nested object without any issue :

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();   // new HttpRequest instance 
var theUrl = "/json-handler";
xmlhttp.open("POST", theUrl);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
xmlhttp.send(JSON.stringify({ "email": "[email protected]", "response": { "name": "Tester" } }));

Call javascript from MVC controller action

If I understand correctly the question, you want to have a JavaScript code in your Controller. (Your question is clear enough, but the voted and accepted answers are throwing some doubt) So: you can do this by using the .NET's System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control to execute javascript code, and everything that a browser can do. It requires reference to System.Windows.Forms though, and the interaction is somewhat "old school". E.g:

void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, 
    WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    HtmlElement search = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("searchInput");
    if(search != null)
    {
        search.SetAttribute("value", "Superman");
        foreach(HtmlElement ele in search.Parent.Children)
        {
            if (ele.TagName.ToLower() == "input" && ele.Name.ToLower() == "go")
            {
                ele.InvokeMember("click");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

So probably nowadays, that would not be the easiest solution.

The other option is to use Javascript .NET or jint to run javasctipt, or another solution, based on the specific case.

AngularJS UI Router - change url without reloading state

Simply you can use $state.transitionTo instead of $state.go . $state.go calls $state.transitionTo internally but automatically sets options to { location: true, inherit: true, relative: $state.$current, notify: true } . You can call $state.transitionTo and set notify: false . For example:

$state.go('.detail', {id: newId}) 

can be replaced by

$state.transitionTo('.detail', {id: newId}, {
    location: true,
    inherit: true,
    relative: $state.$current,
    notify: false
})

Edit: As suggested by fracz it can simply be:

Add this JavaScript on your main js file.

$(".navbar a").on("click", function(){
      $(".navbar").find(".active").removeClass("active");
      $(this).parent().addClass("active");
    });

How do you redirect to a page using the POST verb?

I would like to expand the answer of Jason Bunting

like this

ActionResult action = new SampelController().Index(2, "text");
return action;

And Eli will be here for something idea on how to make it generic variable

Can get all types of controller

Import and insert sql.gz file into database with putty

For an oneliner, on linux or cygwin, you need to do public key authentication on the host, otherwise ssh will be asking for password.


gunzip -c numbers.sql.gz | ssh user@host mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name

Or do port forwarding and connect to the remote mysql using a "local" connection:

ssh -L some_port:host:local_mysql_port user@host

then do the mysql connection on your local machine to localhost:some_port.

The port forwarding will work from putty too, with the similar -L option or you can configure it from the settings panel, somewhere down on the tree.

How to read keyboard-input?

It seems that you are mixing different Pythons here (Python 2.x vs. Python 3.x)... This is basically correct:

nb = input('Choose a number: ')

The problem is that it is only supported in Python 3. As @sharpner answered, for older versions of Python (2.x), you have to use the function raw_input:

nb = raw_input('Choose a number: ')

If you want to convert that to a number, then you should try:

number = int(nb)

... though you need to take into account that this can raise an exception:

try:
    number = int(nb)
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid number")

And if you want to print the number using formatting, in Python 3 str.format() is recommended:

print("Number: {0}\n".format(number))

Instead of:

print('Number %s \n' % (nb))

But both options (str.format() and %) do work in both Python 2.7 and Python 3.

What does it mean to "program to an interface"?

Code to the Interface Not the Implementation has NOTHING to do with Java, nor its Interface construct.

This concept was brought to prominence in the Patterns / Gang of Four books but was most probably around well before that. The concept certainly existed well before Java ever existed.

The Java Interface construct was created to aid in this idea (among other things), and people have become too focused on the construct as the centre of the meaning rather than the original intent. However, it is the reason we have public and private methods and attributes in Java, C++, C#, etc.

It means just interact with an object or system's public interface. Don't worry or even anticipate how it does what it does internally. Don't worry about how it is implemented. In object-oriented code, it is why we have public vs. private methods/attributes. We are intended to use the public methods because the private methods are there only for use internally, within the class. They make up the implementation of the class and can be changed as required without changing the public interface. Assume that regarding functionality, a method on a class will perform the same operation with the same expected result every time you call it with the same parameters. It allows the author to change how the class works, its implementation, without breaking how people interact with it.

And you can program to the interface, not the implementation without ever using an Interface construct. You can program to the interface not the implementation in C++, which does not have an Interface construct. You can integrate two massive enterprise systems much more robustly as long as they interact through public interfaces (contracts) rather than calling methods on objects internal to the systems. The interfaces are expected to always react the same expected way given the same input parameters; if implemented to the interface and not the implementation. The concept works in many places.

Shake the thought that Java Interfaces have anything what-so-ever to do with the concept of 'Program to the Interface, Not the Implementation'. They can help apply the concept, but they are not the concept.

Difference between List, List<?>, List<T>, List<E>, and List<Object>

In your third point, "T" cannot be resolved because its not declared, usually when you declare a generic class you can use "T" as the name of the bound type parameter, many online examples including oracle's tutorials use "T" as the name of the type parameter, say for example, you declare a class like:

public class FooHandler<T>
{
   public void operateOnFoo(T foo) { /*some foo handling code here*/}

}

you are saying that FooHandler's operateOnFoo method expects a variable of type "T" which is declared on the class declaration itself, with this in mind, you can later add another method like

public void operateOnFoos(List<T> foos)

in all the cases either T, E or U there all identifiers of the type parameter, you can even have more than one type parameter which uses the syntax

public class MyClass<Atype,AnotherType> {}

in your forth ponint although efectively Sting is a sub type of Object, in generics classes there is no such relation, List<String> is not a sub type of List<Object> they are two diferent types from the compiler point of view, this is best explained in this blog entry

Live video streaming using Java?

JMF was abandoned. VLC is more up to date and it reads everything. https://stackoverflow.com/a/5160010

I think vlc beats every other software out there yet, or at least the ones that I know...

python : list index out of range error while iteratively popping elements

The problem was that you attempted to modify the list you were referencing within the loop that used the list len(). When you remove the item from the list, then the new len() is calculated on the next loop.

For example, after the first run, when you removed (i) using l.pop(i), that happened successfully but on the next loop the length of the list has changed so all index numbers have been shifted. To a certain point the loop attempts to run over a shorted list throwing the error.

Doing this outside the loop works, however it would be better to build and new list by first declaring and empty list before the loop, and later within the loop append everything you want to keep to the new list.

For those of you who may have come to the same problem.

Initializing default values in a struct

Yes. bar.a and bar.b are set to true, but bar.c is undefined. However, certain compilers will set it to false.

See a live example here: struct demo

According to C++ standard Section 8.5.12:

if no initialization is performed, an object with automatic or dynamic storage duration has indeterminate value

For primitive built-in data types (bool, char, wchar_t, short, int, long, float, double, long double), only global variables (all static storage variables) get default value of zero if they are not explicitly initialized.

If you don't really want undefined bar.c to start with, you should also initialize it like you did for bar.a and bar.b.

How can I make git show a list of the files that are being tracked?

The files managed by git are shown by git ls-files. Check out its manual page.

Uploading files to file server using webclient class

when you manually open the IP address (via the RUN command or mapping a network drive), your PC will send your credentials over the pipe and the file server will receive authorization from the DC.

When ASP.Net tries, then it is going to try to use the IIS worker user (unless impersonation is turned on which will list a few other issues). Traditionally, the IIS worker user does not have authorization to work across servers (or even in other folders on the web server).

IllegalMonitorStateException on wait() call

Based on your comments it sounds like you are doing something like this:

Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable(){
    public void run() { // do stuff }});

thread.start();
...
thread.wait();

There are three problems.

  1. As others have said, obj.wait() can only be called if the current thread holds the primitive lock / mutex for obj. If the current thread does not hold the lock, you get the exception you are seeing.

  2. The thread.wait() call does not do what you seem to be expecting it to do. Specifically, thread.wait() does not cause the nominated thread to wait. Rather it causes the current thread to wait until some other thread calls thread.notify() or thread.notifyAll().

    There is actually no safe way to force a Thread instance to pause if it doesn't want to. (The nearest that Java has to this is the deprecated Thread.suspend() method, but that method is inherently unsafe, as is explained in the Javadoc.)

    If you want the newly started Thread to pause, the best way to do it is to create a CountdownLatch instance and have the thread call await() on the latch to pause itself. The main thread would then call countDown() on the latch to let the paused thread continue.

  3. Orthogonal to the previous points, using a Thread object as a lock / mutex may cause problems. For example, the javadoc for Thread::join says:

    This implementation uses a loop of this.wait calls conditioned on this.isAlive. As a thread terminates the this.notifyAll method is invoked. It is recommended that applications not use wait, notify, or notifyAll on Thread instances.

Runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0

You can find it in Nuget Package Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages Version 3.2.0

If you have a reference to an earlier version than 3.0.0.0, Delete the reference, add the reference to the correct .dll in your packages folder and make sure "Copy Local" is set to "True" in the properties of the .dll.

Then in your web.config (as mentioned by @MichaelEvanchik)

Using Notepad++ to validate XML against an XSD

  1. In Notepad++ go to Plugins > Plugin manager > Show Plugin Manager then find Xml Tools plugin. Tick the box and click Install

    enter image description here

  2. Open XML document you want to validate and click Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M (Or use Menu if this is your preference Plugins > XML Tools > Validate Now).
    Following dialog will open: enter image description here

  3. Click on .... Point to XSD file and I am pretty sure you'll be able to handle things from here.

Hope this saves you some time.

EDIT: Plugin manager was not included in some versions of Notepad++ because many users didn't like commercials that it used to show. If you want to keep an older version, however still want plugin manager, you can get it on github, and install it by extracting the archive and copying contents to plugins and updates folder.
In version 7.7.1 plugin manager is back under a different guise... Plugin Admin so now you can simply update notepad++ and have it back.

How do I make a stored procedure in MS Access?

Access 2010 has both stored procedures, and also has table triggers. And, both features are available even when you not using a server (so, in 100% file based mode).

If you using SQL Server with Access, then of course the stored procedures are built using SQL Server and not Access.

For Access 2010, you open up the table (non-design view), and then choose the table tab. You see options there to create store procedures and table triggers.

For example:

screenshot

Note that the stored procedure language is its own flavor just like Oracle or SQL Server (T-SQL). Here is example code to update an inventory of fruits as a result of an update in the fruit order table alt text

Keep in mind these are true engine-level table triggers. In fact if you open up that table with VB6, VB.NET, FoxPro or even modify the table on a computer WITHOUT Access having been installed, the procedural code and the trigger at the table level will execute. So, this is a new feature of the data engine jet (now called ACE) for Access 2010. As noted, this is procedural code that runs, not just a single statement.

this is error ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified?

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified?

In case the TNS is not defined you can also try this one:

If you are using C#.net 2010 or other version of VS and oracle 10g express edition or lower version, and you make a connection string like this:

static string constr = @"Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=yourhostname )(PORT=1521)))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=XE)));
    User Id=system ;Password=yourpasswrd"; 

After that you get error message ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified then first you have to do restart your system and run your project.

And if Your windows is 64 bit then you need to install oracle 11g 32 bit and if you installed 11g 64 bit then you need to Install Oracle 11g Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio version 11.2.0.1.2 or later from OTN and check it in Oracle Universal Installer Please be sure that the following are checked:

Oracle Data Provider for .NET 2.0

Oracle Providers for ASP.NET

Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

Oracle Instant Client 

And then restart your Visual Studio and then run your project .... NOTE:- SYSTEM RESTART IS necessary TO SOLVE THIS TYPES OF ERROR.......

How to run two jQuery animations simultaneously?

See this brilliant blog post about animating values in objects.. you can then use the values to animate whatever you like, 100% simultaneously!

http://www.josscrowcroft.com/2011/code/jquery-animate-increment-decrement-numeric-text-elements-value/

I've used it like this to slide in/out:

        slide : function(id, prop, from, to) {
            if (from < to) {
                // Sliding out
                var fromvals = { add: from, subtract: 0 };
                var tovals = { add: to, subtract: 0 };
            } else {
                // Sliding back in
                var fromvals = { add: from, subtract: to };
                var tovals = { add: from, subtract: from };
            }

            $(fromvals).animate(tovals, {
                duration: 200,
                easing: 'swing', // can be anything
                step: function () { // called on every step
                    // Slide using the entire -ms-grid-columns setting
                    $(id).css(prop, (this.add - this.subtract) + 'px 1.5fr 0.3fr 8fr 3fr 5fr 0.5fr');
                }
            });

Why can I ping a server but not connect via SSH?

ping (ICMP protocol) and ssh are two different protocols.

  1. It could be that ssh service is not running or not installed

  2. firewall restriction (local to server like iptables or even sshd config lock down ) or (external firewall that protects incomming traffic to network hosting 111.111.111.111)

First check is to see if ssh port is up

nc -v -w 1 111.111.111.111 -z 22

if it succeeds then ssh should communicate if not then it will never work until restriction is lifted or ssh is started

How to find the socket buffer size of linux

For getting the buffer size in c/c++ program the following is the flow

int n;
unsigned int m = sizeof(n);
int fdsocket;
fdsocket = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,IPPROTO_UDP); // example
getsockopt(fdsocket,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVBUF,(void *)&n, &m);
// now the variable n will have the socket size

What version of Python is on my Mac?

If you have both Python2 and Python3 installed on your Mac, you can use

python --version

to check the version of Python2, and

python3 --version

to check the version of Python3.

However, if only Python3 is installed, then your system might use python instead of python3 for Python3. In this case, you can just use

python --version

to check the version of Python3.

How to configure nginx to enable kinda 'file browser' mode?

You should try HttpAutoindexModule.

Set autoindex option to on. It is off by default.

Your example configuration should be ok

location /{ 
   root /home/yozloy/html/; 
   index index.html; 
   autoindex on;
}

Without autoindex option you should be getting Error 403 for requests that end with / on directories that do not have an index.html file. With this option you should be getting a simple listing:

<html>
<head><title>Index of /</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<h1>Index of /test/</h1><hr><pre><a href="../">../</a>
<a href="test.txt">test.txt</a>                 19-May-2012 10:43            0
</pre><hr></body>
</html>

Edit: Updated the listing to delete any references to test

How do I import from Excel to a DataSet using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel?

What about using Excel Data Reader (previously hosted here) an open source project on codeplex? Its works really well for me to export data from excel sheets.

The sample code given on the link specified:

FileStream stream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

//1. Reading from a binary Excel file ('97-2003 format; *.xls)
IExcelDataReader excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateBinaryReader(stream);
//...
//2. Reading from a OpenXml Excel file (2007 format; *.xlsx)
IExcelDataReader excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateOpenXmlReader(stream);
//...
//3. DataSet - The result of each spreadsheet will be created in the result.Tables
DataSet result = excelReader.AsDataSet();
//...
//4. DataSet - Create column names from first row
excelReader.IsFirstRowAsColumnNames = true;
DataSet result = excelReader.AsDataSet();

//5. Data Reader methods
while (excelReader.Read())
{
//excelReader.GetInt32(0);
}

//6. Free resources (IExcelDataReader is IDisposable)
excelReader.Close();

UPDATE

After some search around, I came across this article: Faster MS Excel Reading using Office Interop Assemblies. The article only uses Office Interop Assemblies to read data from a given Excel Sheet. The source code is of the project is there too. I guess this article can be a starting point on what you trying to achieve. See if that helps

                object[,] values = (object[,]) range.Value2;

                // View the values
                Console.Write("\t");
                Console.WriteLine();
                for (int i = 1; i <= values.GetLength(0); i++)
                {
                    for (int j = 1; j <= values.GetLength(1); j++)
                    {
                        Console.Write("{0}\t", values[i, j]);
                    }
                    Console.WriteLine();
                }
            }

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e);
        }
        finally
        {
            range = null;
            if (book != null)
                book.Close(false, Missing.Value, Missing.Value);
            book = null;
            if (app != null)
                app.Quit();
            app = null;
        }
    }

In the above code, values[i, j] is the value that you need to be added to the dataset. i denotes the row, whereas, j denotes the column.

How do I push a local repo to Bitbucket using SourceTree without creating a repo on bitbucket first?

As an update to Joe's answer, in that you can script the creation of the repository using the API, only the API call I needed was different. This may be because we are using bitbucket server, and not bitbucket cloud.

To create a new repo within a project on our server, I used:

curl -X POST -v -u USER:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
http://SERVER/rest/api/1.0/projects/PROJECTNAME/repos/ \
-d '{"scmid":"git", "name":"REPONAME"}'

where USER, PASSWORD, SERVER, PROJECTNAME and REPONAME were of course the desired/required values.

The call is documented in the API reference.

/rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos

Create a new repository. Requires an existing project in which this repository will be created. The only parameters which will be used are name and scmId.

The authenticated user must have PROJECT_ADMIN permission for the context project to call this resource.

Setting a system environment variable from a Windows batch file?

Simple example for how to set JAVA_HOME with setx.exe in command line:

setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04"

This will set environment variable "JAVA_HOME" for current user. If you want to set a variable for all users, you have to use option "-m". Here is an example:

setx -m JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04"

Note: you have to execute this command as Administrator.

Note: Make sure to run the command setx from an command-line Admin window

Can't subtract offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

This is a very simple and clear solution
Two lines of code

# First we obtain de timezone info o some datatime variable    

tz_info = your_timezone_aware_variable.tzinfo

# Now we can subtract two variables using the same time zone info
# For instance
# Lets obtain the Now() datetime but for the tz_info we got before

diff = datetime.datetime.now(tz_info)-your_timezone_aware_variable

Conclusion: You must mange your datetime variables with the same time info

What is the closest thing Windows has to fork()?

"as soon as you want to do file access or printf then io are refused"

  • You cannot have your cake and eat it too... in msvcrt.dll, printf() is based on the Console API, which in itself uses lpc to communicate with the console subsystem (csrss.exe). Connection with csrss is initiated at process start-up, which means that any process that begins its execution "in the middle" will have that step skipped. Unless you have access to the source code of the operating system, then there is no point in trying to connect to csrss manually. Instead, you should create your own subsystem, and accordingly avoid the console functions in applications that use fork().

  • once you have implemented your own subsystem, don't forget to also duplicate all of the parent's handles for the child process;-)

"Also, you probably shouldn't use the Zw* functions unless you're in kernel mode, you should probably use the Nt* functions instead."

  • This is incorrect. When accessed in user mode, there is absolutely no difference between Zw*** Nt***; these are merely two different (ntdll.dll) exported names that refer to the same (relative) virtual address.

ZwGetContextThread(NtCurrentThread(), &context);

  • obtaining the context of the current (running) thread by calling ZwGetContextThread is wrong, is likely to crash, and (due to the extra system call) is also not the fastest way to accomplishing the task.

Impact of Xcode build options "Enable bitcode" Yes/No

  • What does the ENABLE_BITCODE actually do, will it be a non-optional requirement in the future?

I'm not sure at what level you are looking for an answer at, so let's take a little trip. Some of this you may already know.

When you build your project, Xcode invokes clang for Objective-C targets and swift/swiftc for Swift targets. Both of these compilers compile the app to an intermediate representation (IR), one of these IRs is bitcode. From this IR, a program called LLVM takes over and creates the binaries needed for x86 32 and 64 bit modes (for the simulator) and arm6/arm7/arm7s/arm64 (for the device). Normally, all of these different binaries are lumped together in a single file called a fat binary.

The ENABLE_BITCODE option cuts out this final step. It creates a version of the app with an IR bitcode binary. This has a number of nice features, but one giant drawback: it can't run anywhere. In order to get an app with a bitcode binary to run, the bitcode needs to be recompiled (maybe assembled or transcoded… I'm not sure of the correct verb) into an x86 or ARM binary.

When a bitcode app is submitted to the App Store, Apple will do this final step and create the finished binaries.

Right now, bitcode apps are optional, but history has shown Apple turns optional things into requirements (like 64 bit support). This usually takes a few years, so third party developers (like Parse) have time to update.

  • can I use the above method without any negative impact and without compromising a future appstore submission?

Yes, you can turn off ENABLE_BITCODE and everything will work just like before. Until Apple makes bitcode apps a requirement for the App Store, you will be fine.

  • Are there any performance impacts if I enable / disable it?

There will never be negative performance impacts for enabling it, but internal distribution of an app for testing may get more complicated.

As for positive impacts… well that's complicated.

For distribution in the App Store, Apple will create separate versions of your app for each machine architecture (arm6/arm7/arm7s/arm64) instead of one app with a fat binary. This means the app installed on iOS devices will be smaller.

In addition, when bitcode is recompiled (maybe assembled or transcoded… again, I'm not sure of the correct verb), it is optimized. LLVM is always working on creating new a better optimizations. In theory, the App Store could recreate the separate version of the app in the App Store with each new release of LLVM, so your app could be re-optimized with the latest LLVM technology.

Which concurrent Queue implementation should I use in Java?

Basically the difference between them are performance characteristics and blocking behavior.

Taking the easiest first, ArrayBlockingQueue is a queue of a fixed size. So if you set the size at 10, and attempt to insert an 11th element, the insert statement will block until another thread removes an element. The fairness issue is what happens if multiple threads try to insert and remove at the same time (in other words during the period when the Queue was blocked). A fairness algorithm ensures that the first thread that asks is the first thread that gets. Otherwise, a given thread may wait longer than other threads, causing unpredictable behavior (sometimes one thread will just take several seconds because other threads that started later got processed first). The trade-off is that it takes overhead to manage the fairness, slowing down the throughput.

The most important difference between LinkedBlockingQueue and ConcurrentLinkedQueue is that if you request an element from a LinkedBlockingQueue and the queue is empty, your thread will wait until there is something there. A ConcurrentLinkedQueue will return right away with the behavior of an empty queue.

Which one depends on if you need the blocking. Where you have many producers and one consumer, it sounds like it. On the other hand, where you have many consumers and only one producer, you may not need the blocking behavior, and may be happy to just have the consumers check if the queue is empty and move on if it is.

What is the JavaScript version of sleep()?

I personally like the simple:

function sleep(seconds){
    var waitUntil = new Date().getTime() + seconds*1000;
    while(new Date().getTime() < waitUntil) true;
}

then:

sleep(2); // Sleeps for 2 seconds

I'm using it all the time to create fake load time while creating scripts in P5js

Sleep/Wait command in Batch

Ok, yup you use the timeout command to sleep. But to do the whole process silently, it's not possible with cmd/batch. One of the ways is to create a VBScript that will run the Batch File without opening/showing any window. And here is the script:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "PATH OF BATCH FILE WITH QUOTATION MARKS" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Copy and paste the above code on notepad and save it as Anyname.**vbs ** An example of the *"PATH OF BATCH FILE WITH QUOTATION MARKS" * might be: "C:\ExampleFolder\MyBatchFile.bat"

Finding rows containing a value (or values) in any column

Here's a dplyr option:

library(dplyr)

df %>% filter_all(any_vars(. %in% c('M017', 'M018')))

# or in only select columns:
df %>% filter_at(vars(col1, col2), any_vars(. %in% c('M017', 'M018')))                                                                                                     

Animate element transform rotate

To add to the answers of Ryley and atonyc, you don't actually have to use a real CSS property, like text-index or border-spacing, but instead you can specify a fake CSS property, like rotation or my-awesome-property. It might be a good idea to use something that does not risk becoming an actual CSS property in the future.

Also, somebody asked how to animate other things at the same time. This can be done as usual, but remember that the step function is called for every animated property, so you'll have to check for your property, like so:

$('#foo').animate(
    {
        opacity: 0.5,
        width: "100px",
        height: "100px",
        myRotationProperty: 45
    },
    {
        step: function(now, tween) {
            if (tween.prop === "myRotationProperty") {
                $(this).css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+now+'deg)');
                $(this).css('-moz-transform','rotate('+now+'deg)'); 
                // add Opera, MS etc. variants
                $(this).css('transform','rotate('+now+'deg)');  
            }
        }
    });

(Note: I can't find the documentation for the "Tween" object in the jQuery documentation; from the animate documentation page there is a link to http://api.jquery.com/Types#Tween which is a section that doesn't appear to exist. You can find the code for the Tween prototype on Github here).

AngularJs ReferenceError: $http is not defined

Just to complete Amit Garg answer, there are several ways to inject dependencies in AngularJS.


You can also use $inject to add a dependency:

var MyController = function($scope, $http) {
  // ...
}
MyController.$inject = ['$scope', '$http'];

Add a default value to a column through a migration

Here's how you should do it:

change_column :users, :admin, :boolean, :default => false

But some databases, like PostgreSQL, will not update the field for rows previously created, so make sure you update the field manaully on the migration too.

Is there a "standard" format for command line/shell help text?

Typically, your help output should include:

  • Description of what the app does
  • Usage syntax, which:
    • Uses [options] to indicate where the options go
    • arg_name for a required, singular arg
    • [arg_name] for an optional, singular arg
    • arg_name... for a required arg of which there can be many (this is rare)
    • [arg_name...] for an arg for which any number can be supplied
    • note that arg_name should be a descriptive, short name, in lower, snake case
  • A nicely-formatted list of options, each:
    • having a short description
    • showing the default value, if there is one
    • showing the possible values, if that applies
    • Note that if an option can accept a short form (e.g. -l) or a long form (e.g. --list), include them together on the same line, as their descriptions will be the same
  • Brief indicator of the location of config files or environment variables that might be the source of command line arguments, e.g. GREP_OPTS
  • If there is a man page, indicate as such, otherwise, a brief indicator of where more detailed help can be found

Note further that it's good form to accept both -h and --help to trigger this message and that you should show this message if the user messes up the command-line syntax, e.g. omits a required argument.
