How to call a JavaScript function, declared in <head>, in the body when I want to call it

You can call it like that:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var person = { name: 'Joe Blow' };
            function myfunction() {
               document.write(person.name);
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            myfunction();
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

The result should be page with the only content: Joe Blow

Pycharm/Python OpenCV and CV2 install error

Try this. I am using Jupyter notebook (OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Google Cloud Platform + on Windows). Executed following command in the Jupyter notebook to install opencv:

!pip install opencv-contrib-python    #working on both Windows and Ubuntu

After successful installation you will get following message:

Successfully installed opencv-contrib-python-4.1.0.25

Now restart the kernel and try to import opencv as:

import cv2

The same command can be used to installed opencv on Windows as well.

SOLUTION 2: try following commands to install opencv: For Ubuntu: Run following command from terminal:

sudo apt-get install libsm6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1

Restart Jupyter notebook kernel and execute following command:

!pip install opencv-contrib-python

NOTE: You can run all the above commands from the terminal as well without using '!'.

How do I get a reference to the app delegate in Swift?

The other solution is correct in that it will get you a reference to the application's delegate, but this will not allow you to access any methods or variables added by your subclass of UIApplication, like your managed object context. To resolve this, simply downcast to "AppDelegate" or what ever your UIApplication subclass happens to be called. In Swift 3, 4 & 5, this is done as follows:

let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
let aVariable = appDelegate.someVariable

How do I set the default schema for a user in MySQL

If your user has a local folder e.g. Linux, in your users home folder you could create a .my.cnf file and provide the credentials to access the server there. for example:-

[client]
host=localhost
user=yourusername
password=yourpassword or exclude to force entry
database=mygotodb

Mysql would then open this file for each user account read the credentials and open the selected database.

Not sure on Windows, I upgraded from Windows because I needed the whole house not just the windows (aka Linux) a while back.

Android: How do I get string from resources using its name?

Easier way is to use the getString() function within the activity.

String myString = getString(R.string.mystring);

Reference: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html

I think this feature is added in a recent Android version, anyone who knows the history can comment on this.

Python: Assign Value if None Exists

How do I open an .exe from another C++ .exe?

You are getting this error because you are not giving full path. (C:\Users...\file.exe) If you want to remove this error then either give full path or copy that application (you want to open) to the folder where your project(.exe) is present/saved.

#include <windows.h>

CSS vertical alignment text inside li

Surprisingly (or not), the vertical-align tool actually works best for this job. Best of all, no Javascript is required.

In the following example, I am positioning the outer class in the middle of the body, and the inner class in the middle of the outer class.

Preview: http://jsfiddle.net/tLkSV/513/

HTML:

<div id="container">
    <span></span><div class="outer">
        <span></span><div class="inner">

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

html, body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0; }
#container {
    text-align: center;
    height: 100%; }
span { 
    height: 100%;
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block; }
.outer {
    width: 100px;
    height: 200px;
    padding: 0;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block; }
.inner {
    background: red;
    width: 30px;
    height: 20px;    
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: inline-block; }

Vertical align works by aligning the centers of elements that are next to each other. Applying vertical-align to a single element does absolutely nothing. If you add a second element that has no width but is the height of the container, your single element will move to vertically center with this no-width element, thus vertically centering it. The only requirements are that you set both elements to inline (or inline-block), and set their vertical-align attribute to vertical-align: middle.

Note: You may notice in my code below that my <span> tag and <div> tag are touching. Because they are both inline elements, a space will actually add a space between the no-width element and your div, so be sure to leave it out.

}

and it is always parameter less.

static class StaticParent
{
    static int i =5;
    static StaticParent(int i)  //Gives error
    {
      //write your initialization code here
    }

Removing double quotes from variables in batch file creates problems with CMD environment

Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

Set 1=%1

Set 1=!1:"=!

Echo !1!

Echo "!1!"

Set 1=

Demonstrates with or without quotes reguardless of whether original parameter has quotes or not.

And if you want to test the existence of a parameter which may or may not be in quotes, put this line before the echos above:

If '%1'=='' goto yoursub

But if checking for existence of a file that may or may not have quotes then it's:

If EXIST "!1!" goto othersub

Note the use of single quotes and double quotes are different.

Java multiline string

This is an old thread, but a new quite elegant solution (with only 4 maybe 3 little drawbacks) is to use a custom annotation.

Check : http://www.adrianwalker.org/2011/12/java-multiline-string.html

A project inspired from that work is hosted on GitHub:

https://github.com/benelog/multiline

Example of Java code:

import org.adrianwalker.multilinestring.Multiline;
...
public final class MultilineStringUsage {

  /**
  <html>
    <head/>
    <body>
      <p>
        Hello<br/>
        Multiline<br/>
        World<br/>
      </p>
    </body>
  </html>
  */
  @Multiline
  private static String html;

  public static void main(final String[] args) {
    System.out.println(html);
  }
}

The drawbacks are

that you have to activate the corresponding (provided) annotation processor.
that String variable can not be defined as local variable Check Raw String Literals project where you can define variables as local variables
that String cannot contains other variables as in Visual Basic .Net with XML literal (<%= variable %>) :-)
that String literal is delimited by JavaDoc comment (/**)

And you probably have to configure Eclipse/Intellij-Idea to not reformat automatically your Javadoc comments.

One may find this weird (Javadoc comments are not designed to embed anything other than comments), but as this lack of multiline string in Java is really annoying in the end, I find this to be the least worst solution.

X-Frame-Options Allow-From multiple domains

The RFC for the HTTP Header Field X-Frame-Options states that the "ALLOW-FROM" field in the X-Frame-Options header value can only contain one domain. Multiple domains are not allowed.

The RFC suggests a work around for this problem. The solution is to specify the domain name as a url parameter in the iframe src url. The server that hosts the iframe src url can then check the domain name given in the url parameters. If the domain name matches a list of valid domain names, then the server can send the X-Frame-Options header with the value: "ALLOW-FROM domain-name", where domain name is the name of the domain that is trying to embed the remote content. If the domain name is not given or is not valid, then the X-Frame-Options header can be sent with the value: "deny".

How to make script execution wait until jquery is loaded

A tangential note on the approaches here that load use setTimeout or setInterval. In those cases it's possible that when your check runs again, the DOM will already have loaded, and the browser's DOMContentLoaded event will have been fired, so you can't detect that event reliably using these approaches. What I found is that jQuery's ready still works, though, so you can embed your usual

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) { ... }

inside your setTimeout or setInterval and everything should work as normal.

How to make a link open multiple pages when clicked

I created a bit of a hybrid approach between Paul & Adam's approach:

The link that opens the array of links is already in the html. The jquery just creates the array of links and opens each one when the "open-all" button is clicked:

HTML:

<ul class="links">
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/"></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com/"></a></li>
</ul>

<a id="open-all" href="#">OPEN ALL</a>

JQUERY:

$(function() { // On DOM content ready...
    var hrefs = [];

    $('.links a').each(function() {
        hrefs.push(this.href); // Store the URLs from the links...
    });

    $('#open-all').click(function() {
        for (var i in hrefs) {
            window.open(hrefs[i]); // ...that opens each stored link in its own window when clicked...
        }
    });
});

What's the difference between ViewData and ViewBag?

There are some subtle differences that mean you can use ViewData and ViewBag in slightly different ways from the view. One advantage is outlined in this post http://weblogs.asp.net/hajan/archive/2010/12/11/viewbag-dynamic-in-asp-net-mvc-3-rc-2.aspx and shows that casting can be avoided in the example by using the ViewBag instead of ViewData.

How do I check if I'm running on Windows in Python?

Python os module

Specifically for Python 3.6/3.7:

os.name: The name of the operating system dependent module imported. The following names have currently been registered: 'posix', 'nt', 'java'.

In your case, you want to check for 'nt' as os.name output:

import os

if os.name == 'nt':
     ...

There is also a note on os.name:

See also sys.platform has a finer granularity. os.uname() gives system-dependent version information.

The platform module provides detailed checks for the system’s identity.

How to fill Dataset with multiple tables?

If you are issuing a single command with several select statements, you might use NextResult method to move to next resultset within the datareader: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.idatareader.nextresult.aspx

I show how it could look bellow:

public DataSet SelectOne(int id)
{
    DataSet result = new DataSet();
    using (DbCommand command = Connection.CreateCommand())
    {
        command.CommandText = @"
select * from table1
select * from table2
        ";

        var param = ParametersBuilder.CreateByKey(command, "ID", id, null);
        command.Parameters.Add(param);

        Connection.Open();
        using (DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
        {
            result.MainTable.Load(reader);
            reader.NextResult();
            result.SecondTable.Load(reader);
            // ...
        }
        Connection.Close();

How can I keep Bootstrap popovers alive while being hovered?

I found the mouseleave will not fire when weird things happen, like the window focus changes suddenly, then the user comes back to the browser. In cases like that, mouseleave will never fire until the cursor goes over and leaves the element again.

This solution I came up with relies on mouseenter on the window object, so it disappears when the mouse is moved anywhere else on the page.

This was designed to work with having multiple elements on the page that will trigger it (like in a table).

var allMenus = $(".menus");
allMenus.popover({
    html: true,
    trigger: "manual",
    placement: "bottom",
    content: $("#menuContent")[0].outerHTML
}).on("mouseenter", (e) => {
    allMenus.not(e.target).popover("hide");
    $(e.target).popover("show");
    e.stopPropagation();
}).on("shown.bs.popover", () => {
    $(window).on("mouseenter.hidepopover", (e) => {
        if ($(e.target).parents(".popover").length === 0) {
            allMenus.popover("hide");
            $(window).off("mouseenter.hidepopover");
        }
    });
});

Twitter Bootstrap 3 Sticky Footer

Answered by the OP:

Add this to your CSS file.

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  /* The html and body elements cannot have any padding or margin. */
}
/* Wrapper for page content to push down footer */
#wrap {
  min-height: 100%;
  height: auto !important;
  height: 100%;
  /* Negative indent footer by it's height */
  margin: 0 auto -60px;
}

/* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
#push,
#footer {
  height: 60px;
}
#footer {
  background-color: #eee;
}

/* Lastly, apply responsive CSS fixes as necessary */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
  #footer {
    margin-left: -20px;
    margin-right: -20px;
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;

file_get_contents("php://input") or $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, which one is better to get the body of JSON request?

For JSON data, it's much easier to POST it as "application/json" content-type. If you use GET, you have to URL-encode the JSON in a parameter and it's kind of messy. Also, there is no size limit when you do POST. GET's size if very limited (4K at most).

Converting pfx to pem using openssl

Despite that the other answers are correct and thoroughly explained, I found some difficulties understanding them. Here is the method I used (Taken from here):

First case: To convert a PFX file to a PEM file that contains both the certificate and private key:

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -out cert.pem -nodes

Second case: To convert a PFX file to separate public and private key PEM files:

Extracts the private key form a PFX to a PEM file:

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -nocerts -out key.pem

Exports the certificate (includes the public key only):

openssl pkcs12 -in filename.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out cert.pem

Removes the password (paraphrase) from the extracted private key (optional):

openssl rsa -in key.pem -out server.key

Swift: How to get substring from start to last index of character

Here's an easy and short way to get a substring if you know the index:

let s = "www.stackoverflow.com"
let result = String(s.characters.prefix(17)) // "www.stackoverflow"

It won't crash the app if your index exceeds string's length:

let s = "short"
let result = String(s.characters.prefix(17)) // "short"

Both examples are Swift 3 ready.

What is the canonical way to check for errors using the CUDA runtime API?

Probably the best way to check for errors in runtime API code is to define an assert style handler function and wrapper macro like this:

#define gpuErrchk(ans) { gpuAssert((ans), __FILE__, __LINE__); }
inline void gpuAssert(cudaError_t code, const char *file, int line, bool abort=true)
{
   if (code != cudaSuccess) 
   {
      fprintf(stderr,"GPUassert: %s %s %d\n", cudaGetErrorString(code), file, line);
      if (abort) exit(code);
   }
}

You can then wrap each API call with the gpuErrchk macro, which will process the return status of the API call it wraps, for example:

gpuErrchk( cudaMalloc(&a_d, size*sizeof(int)) );

If there is an error in a call, a textual message describing the error and the file and line in your code where the error occurred will be emitted to stderr and the application will exit. You could conceivably modify gpuAssert to raise an exception rather than call exit() in a more sophisticated application if it were required.

A second related question is how to check for errors in kernel launches, which can't be directly wrapped in a macro call like standard runtime API calls. For kernels, something like this:

kernel<<<1,1>>>(a);
gpuErrchk( cudaPeekAtLastError() );
gpuErrchk( cudaDeviceSynchronize() );

will firstly check for invalid launch argument, then force the host to wait until the kernel stops and checks for an execution error. The synchronisation can be eliminated if you have a subsequent blocking API call like this:

kernel<<<1,1>>>(a_d);
gpuErrchk( cudaPeekAtLastError() );
gpuErrchk( cudaMemcpy(a_h, a_d, size * sizeof(int), cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost) );

in which case the cudaMemcpy call can return either errors which occurred during the kernel execution or those from the memory copy itself. This can be confusing for the beginner, and I would recommend using explicit synchronisation after a kernel launch during debugging to make it easier to understand where problems might be arising.

Note that when using CUDA Dynamic Parallelism, a very similar methodology can and should be applied to any usage of the CUDA runtime API in device kernels, as well as after any device kernel launches:

#include <assert.h>
#define cdpErrchk(ans) { cdpAssert((ans), __FILE__, __LINE__); }
__device__ void cdpAssert(cudaError_t code, const char *file, int line, bool abort=true)
{
   if (code != cudaSuccess)
   {
      printf("GPU kernel assert: %s %s %d\n", cudaGetErrorString(code), file, line);
      if (abort) assert(0);
   }
}

What does the "+" (plus sign) CSS selector mean?

+ presents one of the relative selectors. Here is a list of all relative selectors:

div p - All <p> elements inside of a <div> element are selected.

div > p - All <p> elements whose direct parent is <div> are selected. It works backwards too (p < div)

div + p - All <p> elements placed immediately after a <div> element are selected.

div ~ p - All <p> elements that are preceded by a <div> element are selected.

Here is some more about selectors.

and don't forget to write permissions in manifest...
I hope it helps!

difference between @size(max = value ) and @min(value) @max(value)

package com.mycompany;

import javax.validation.constraints.Min;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;

public class Car {

    @NotNull
    private String manufacturer;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 2, max = 14)
    private String licensePlate;

    @Min(2)
    private int seatCount;

    public Car(String manufacturer, String licencePlate, int seatCount) {
        this.manufacturer = manufacturer;
        this.licensePlate = licencePlate;
        this.seatCount = seatCount;
    }

    //getters and setters ...
}

@NotNull, @Size and @Min are so-called constraint annotations, that we use to declare constraints, which shall be applied to the fields of a Car instance:

manufacturer shall never be null

licensePlate shall never be null and must be between 2 and 14 characters long

seatCount shall be at least 2.

How can I use Python to get the system hostname?

os.getenv('HOSTNAME') and os.environ['HOSTNAME'] don't always work. In cron jobs and WSDL, HTTP HOSTNAME isn't set. Use this instead:

import socket
socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())[0]

It always (even on Windows) returns a fully qualified host name, even if you defined a short alias in /etc/hosts.

If you defined an alias in /etc/hosts then socket.gethostname() will return the alias. platform.uname()[1] does the same thing.

I ran into a case where the above didn't work. This is what I'm using now:

import socket
if socket.gethostname().find('.')>=0:
    name=socket.gethostname()
else:
    name=socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())[0]

It first calls gethostname to see if it returns something that looks like a host name, if not it uses my original solution.

jQuery, get html of a whole element

You can clone it to get the entire contents, like this:

var html = $("<div />").append($("#div1").clone()).html();

Or make it a plugin, most tend to call this "outerHTML", like this:

jQuery.fn.outerHTML = function() {
  return jQuery('<div />').append(this.eq(0).clone()).html();
};

Then you can just call:

var html = $("#div1").outerHTML();

Using command line arguments in VBscript

Set args = Wscript.Arguments

For Each arg In args
  Wscript.Echo arg
Next

From a command prompt, run the script like this:

CSCRIPT MyScript.vbs 1 2 A B "Arg with spaces"

Will give results like this:

1
2
A
B
Arg with spaces

How to change a single value in a NumPy array?

Is this what you are after? Just index the element and assign a new value.

A[2,1]=150

A
Out[345]: 
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4],
       [ 5,  6,  7,  8],
       [ 9, 150, 11, 12],
       [13, 14, 15, 16]])

In Java 8 how do I transform a Map<K,V> to another Map<K,V> using a lambda?

Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("test1", 1);
map.put("test2", 2);

Map<String, Integer> map2 = new HashMap<>();
map.forEach(map2::put);

System.out.println("map: " + map);
System.out.println("map2: " + map2);
// Output:
// map:  {test2=2, test1=1}
// map2: {test2=2, test1=1}

You can use the forEach method to do what you want.

What you're doing there is:

map.forEach(new BiConsumer<String, Integer>() {
    @Override
    public void accept(String s, Integer integer) {
        map2.put(s, integer);     
    }
});

Which we can simplify into a lambda:

map.forEach((s, integer) ->  map2.put(s, integer));

And because we're just calling an existing method we can use a method reference, which gives us:

map.forEach(map2::put);

Setting PayPal return URL and making it auto return?

You have to enable auto return in your PayPal account, otherwise it will ignore the return field.

From the documentation (updated to reflect new layout Jan 2019):

Auto Return is turned off by default. To turn on Auto Return:

Log in to your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.com or https://www.sandbox.paypal.com The My Account Overview page appears.

Click the gear icon top right. The Profile Summary page appears.

Click the My Selling Preferences link in the left column.

Under the Selling Online section, click the Update link in the row for Website Preferences. The Website Payment Preferences page appears

Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button to enable Auto Return.

In the Return URL field, enter the URL to which you want your payers redirected after they complete their payments. NOTE: PayPal checks the Return URL that you enter. If the URL is not properly formatted or cannot be validated, PayPal will not activate Auto Return.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the Save button.

IPN is for instant payment notification. It will give you more reliable/useful information than what you'll get from auto-return.

Documentation for IPN is here: https://www.x.com/sites/default/files/ipnguide.pdf

Online Documentation for IPN: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/gs_IPN/

The general procedure is that you pass a notify_url parameter with the request, and set up a page which handles and validates IPN notifications, and PayPal will send requests to that page to notify you when payments/refunds/etc. go through. That IPN handler page would then be the correct place to update the database to mark orders as having been paid.

How can I check if a value is of type Integer?

Here is the function for to check is String is Integer or not ?

public static boolean isStringInteger(String number ){
    try{
        Integer.parseInt(number);
    }catch(Exception e ){
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

How to display all elements in an arraylist?

Hi sorry the code for the second one should be:

private static void getAll(CarList c1) {

ArrayList <Car> cars = c1.getAll(); // error incompatible type
for(Car item : cars)
{   
      System.out.println(item.getMake()
                       + " "
                       + item.getReg()
                       );
}

}

I have a class called CarList which contains the arraylist and its method, so in the tester class, i have basically this code to use that CarList class:

CarList c1; c1 = new CarList();

everything else works, such as adding and removing cars and displaying an inidividual car, i just need a code to display all cars in the arraylist.

Multi-line bash commands in makefile

Of course, the proper way to write a Makefile is to actually document which targets depend on which sources. In the trivial case, the proposed solution will make foo depend on itself, but of course, make is smart enough to drop a circular dependency. But if you add a temporary file to your directory, it will "magically" become part of the dependency chain. Better to create an explicit list of dependencies once and for all, perhaps via a script.

GNU make knows how to run gcc to produce an executable out of a set of .c and .h files, so maybe all you really need amounts to

foo: $(wildcard *.h) $(wildcard *.c)

Could not get constructor for org.hibernate.persister.entity.SingleTableEntityPersister

I encountered this error when upgrading from jdk10 to jdk11. Adding the following dependency fixed the problem:

    <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
    <version>3.25.0-GA</version>
</dependency>

Multiple Forms or Multiple Submits in a Page?

Best practice: one form per product is definitely the way to go.

Benefits:

It will save you the hassle of having to parse the data to figure out which product was clicked
It will reduce the size of data being posted

In your specific situation

If you only ever intend to have one form element, in this case a submit button, one form for all should work just fine.

My recommendation Do one form per product, and change your markup to something like:

<form method="post" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="123">
    <button type="submit" name="action" value="add_to_cart">Add to Cart</button>
</form>

This will give you a much cleaner and usable POST. No parsing. And it will allow you to add more parameters in the future (size, color, quantity, etc).

Note: There's no technical benefit to using <button> vs. <input>, but as a programmer I find it cooler to work with action=='add_to_cart' than action=='Add to Cart'. Besides, I hate mixing presentation with logic. If one day you decide that it makes more sense for the button to say "Add" or if you want to use different languages, you could do so freely without having to worry about your back-end code.

How to convert text to binary code in JavaScript?

8-bit characters with leading 0

'sometext'
        .split('')
        .map((char) => '00'.concat(char.charCodeAt(0).toString(2)).slice(-8))
        .join(' ');

If you need 6 or 7 bit, just change .slice(-8)

Git branching: master vs. origin/master vs. remotes/origin/master

One clarification (and a point that confused me):

"remotes/origin/HEAD is the default branch" is not really correct.

remotes/origin/master was the default branch in the remote repository (last time you checked). HEAD is not a branch, it just points to a branch.

Think of HEAD as your working area. When you think of it this way then 'git checkout branchname' makes sense with respect to changing your working area files to be that of a particular branch. You "checkout" branch files into your working area. HEAD for all practical purposes is what is visible to you in your working area.

How do I read image data from a URL in Python?

For those doing some sklearn/numpy post processing (i.e. Deep learning) you can wrap the PIL object with np.array(). This might save you from having to Google it like I did:

import numpy as np
from StringIO import StringIO

response = requests.get(url)
img = np.array(Image.open(StringIO(response.content)))

What's the difference between map() and flatMap() methods in Java 8?

Stream operations flatMap and map accept a function as input.

flatMap expects the function to return a new stream for each element of the stream and returns a stream which combines all the elements of the streams returned by the function for each element. In other words, with flatMap, for each element from the source, multiple elements will be created by the function. http://www.zoftino.com/java-stream-examples#flatmap-operation

map expects the function to return a transformed value and returns a new stream containing the transformed elements. In other words, with map, for each element from the source, one transformed element will be created by the function. http://www.zoftino.com/java-stream-examples#map-operation

HTML embed autoplay="false", but still plays automatically

Remove autoplay if you want to disable auto playing video.

Update Rows in SSIS OLEDB Destination

You can't do a bulk-update in SSIS within a dataflow task with the OOB components.

The general pattern is to identify your inserts, updates and deletes and push the updates and deletes to a staging table(s) and after the Dataflow Task, use a set-based update or delete in an Execute SQL Task. Look at Andy Leonard's Stairway to Integration Services series. Scroll about 3/4 the way down the article to "Set-Based Updates" to see the pattern.

Stage data

Set based updates

enter image description here

You'll get much better performance with a pattern like this versus using the OLE DB Command transformation for anything but trivial amounts of data.

If you are into third party tools, I believe CozyRoc and I know PragmaticWorks have a merge destination component.

How to implement a Boolean search with multiple columns in pandas

A more concise--but not necessarily faster--method is to use DataFrame.isin() and DataFrame.any()

In [27]: n = 10

In [28]: df = DataFrame(randint(4, size=(n, 2)), columns=list('ab'))

In [29]: df
Out[29]:
   a  b
0  0  0
1  1  1
2  1  1
3  2  3
4  2  3
5  0  2
6  1  2
7  3  0
8  1  1
9  2  2

[10 rows x 2 columns]

In [30]: df.isin([1, 2])
Out[30]:
       a      b
0  False  False
1   True   True
2   True   True
3   True  False
4   True  False
5  False   True
6   True   True
7  False  False
8   True   True
9   True   True

[10 rows x 2 columns]

In [31]: df.isin([1, 2]).any(1)
Out[31]:
0    False
1     True
2     True
3     True
4     True
5     True
6     True
7    False
8     True
9     True
dtype: bool

In [32]: df.loc[df.isin([1, 2]).any(1)]

Run batch file as a Windows service

While it is not free (but $39), FireDaemon has worked so well for me I have to recommend it. It will run your batch file but has loads of additional and very useful functionality such as scheduling, service up monitoring, GUI or XML based install of services, dependencies, environmental variables and log management.

I started out using FireDaemon to launch JBoss application servers (run.bat) but shortly after realized that the richness of the FireDaemon configuration abilities allowed me to ditch the batch file and recreate the intent of its commands in the FireDaemon service definition.

There's also a SUPER FireDaemon called Trinity which you might want to look at if you have a large number of Windows servers on which to manage this service (or technically, any service).

"Cloning" row or column vectors

First note that with numpy's broadcasting operations it's usually not necessary to duplicate rows and columns. See this and this for descriptions.

But to do this, repeat and newaxis are probably the best way

In [12]: x = array([1,2,3])

In [13]: repeat(x[:,newaxis], 3, 1)
Out[13]: 
array([[1, 1, 1],
       [2, 2, 2],
       [3, 3, 3]])

In [14]: repeat(x[newaxis,:], 3, 0)
Out[14]: 
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [1, 2, 3],
       [1, 2, 3]])

This example is for a row vector, but applying this to a column vector is hopefully obvious. repeat seems to spell this well, but you can also do it via multiplication as in your example

In [15]: x = array([[1, 2, 3]])  # note the double brackets

In [16]: (ones((3,1))*x).transpose()
Out[16]: 
array([[ 1.,  1.,  1.],
       [ 2.,  2.,  2.],
       [ 3.,  3.,  3.]])

issue ORA-00001: unique constraint violated coming in INSERT/UPDATE

Error message looks like this

Error message => ORA-00001: unique constraint (schema.unique_constraint_name) violated

ORA-00001 occurs when: "a query tries to insert a "duplicate" row in a table". It makes an unique constraint to fail, consequently query fails and row is NOT added to the table."

Solution:

Find all columns used in unique_constraint, for instance column a, column b, column c, column d collectively creates unique_constraint and then find the record from source data which is duplicate, using following queries:

-- to find <<owner of the table>> and <<name of the table>> for unique_constraint

select *
from DBA_CONSTRAINTS
where CONSTRAINT_NAME = '<unique_constraint_name>';

Then use Justin Cave's query (pasted below) to find all columns used in unique_constraint:

  SELECT column_name, position
  FROM all_cons_columns
  WHERE constraint_name = <<name of constraint from the error message>>
   AND owner           = <<owner of the table>>
   AND table_name      = <<name of the table>>

    -- to find duplicates

    select column a, column b, column c, column d
    from table
    group by column a, column b, column c, column d
    having count (<any one column used in constraint > ) > 1;

you can either delete that duplicate record from your source data (which was a select query in my particular case, as I experienced it with "Insert into select") or modify to make it unique or change the constraint.

How do I install package.json dependencies in the current directory using npm

Running:

npm install

from inside your app directory (i.e. where package.json is located) will install the dependencies for your app, rather than install it as a module, as described here. These will be placed in ./node_modules relative to your package.json file (it's actually slightly more complex than this, so check the npm docs here).

You are free to move the node_modules dir to the parent dir of your app if you want, because node's 'require' mechanism understands this. However, if you want to update your app's dependencies with install/update, npm will not see the relocated 'node_modules' and will instead create a new dir, again relative to package.json.

To prevent this, just create a symlink to the relocated node_modules from your app dir:

ln -s ../node_modules node_modules

Jump to function definition in vim

TL;DR:

Modern way is to use COC for intellisense-like completion and one or more language servers (LS) for jump-to-definition (and way way more). For even more functionality (but it's not needed for jump-to-definition) you can install one or more debuggers and get a full blown IDE experience.

Quick-start:

install vim-plug to manage your VIM plug-ins

add COC and (optionally) Vimspector at the top of ~/.vimrc:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'branch': 'release'}
Plug 'puremourning/vimspector'
call plug#end()

" key mappings example
nmap <silent> gd <Plug>(coc-definition)
nmap <silent> gD <Plug>(coc-implementation)
nmap <silent> gr <Plug>(coc-references)
" there's way more, see `:help coc-key-mappings@en'

call :source $MYVIMRC | PlugInstall to reload VIM config and download plug-ins
restart vim and call :CocInstall coc-marketplace to get easy access to COC extensions
call :CocList marketplace and search for language servers, e.g.:

type python to find coc-jedi,
type php to find coc-phpls, etc.

(optionally) see install_gadget.py --help for available debuggers, e.g.:

./install_gadget.py --enable-python,
./install_gadget.py --force-enable-php, etc.

You can jump to definition with gd, to interface implementation with gD, find all references with gr. More keybindings in :help coc-key-mappings@en.

Full answer:

Language server (LS) is a separate standalone application (one for each programming language) that runs in the background and analyses your whole project in real time exposing extra capabilities to your editor (any editor, not only vim). You get things like:

namespace aware tag completion
jump to definition
jump to next / previous error
find all references to an object
find all interface implementations
rename across a whole project
documentation on hover
snippets, code actions, formatting, linting and more...

Communication with language servers takes place via Language Server Protocol (LSP). Both nvim and vim8 (or higher) support LSP through plug-ins, the most popular being Conquer of Completion (COC).

List of actively developed language servers and their capabilities is available on Lang Server website. Not all of those are provided by COC extensions. If you want to use one of those you can either write a COC extension yourself or install LS manually and use the combo of following VIM plug-ins as alternative to COC:

LanguageClient - handles LSP
deoplete - triggers completion as you type

Communication with debuggers takes place via Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). The most popular DAP plug-in for VIM is Vimspector.

Language Server Protocol (LSP) was created by Microsoft for Visual Studio Code and released as an open source project with a permissive MIT license (standardized by collaboration with Red Hat and Codenvy). Later on Microsoft released Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) as well. Any language supported by VSCode is supported in VIM.

I personally recommend using COC + language servers provided by COC extensions + ALE for extra linting (but with LSP support disabled to avoid conflicts with COC) + Vimspector + debuggers provided by Vimspector (called "gadgets") + following VIM plug-ins:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim'
Plug 'dense-analysis/ale'
Plug 'puremourning/vimspector'
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdcommenter'
Plug 'sheerun/vim-polyglot'
Plug 'yggdroot/indentline'
Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'
Plug 'kana/vim-textobj-user'
  \| Plug 'glts/vim-textobj-comment'
Plug 'janko/vim-test'
Plug 'vim-scripts/vcscommand.vim'
Plug 'mhinz/vim-signify'
call plug#end()

You can google each to see what they do.

Also, pipe character | separates VIM commands put in one line which makes it perfect to set up plug-in dependencies, i.e. vim-textobj-comment doesn't work without vim-textobj-user so if installation of vim-textobj-user fails the rest of the line isn't executed. Here pipe is escaped with backslash \ because it's in a new line but for VIM it's still a one-liner.

How to add one column into existing SQL Table

Regex to validate password strength

You can use zero-length positive look-aheads to specify each of your constraints separately:

(?=.{8,})(?=.*\p{Lu}.*\p{Lu})(?=.*[!@#$&*])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*\p{Ll}.*\p{Ll})

If your regex engine doesn't support the \p notation and pure ASCII is enough, then you can replace \p{Lu} with [A-Z] and \p{Ll} with [a-z].

Loop through files in a folder in matlab

Looping through all the files in the folder is relatively easy:

files = dir('*.csv');
for file = files'
    csv = load(file.name);
    % Do some stuff
end

Greater than and less than in one statement

If getFiles() returns a java.util.Collection, !getFiles().isEmpty() && size<5 can be OK.

On the other hand, unless you encapsulate the container which provides method such as boolean sizeBetween(int min, int max).

To summarize the other answers, in <jre-path>/lib/security/java.security you can set the value of the property networkaddress.cache.ttl to adjust how DNS lookups are cached. Note that this is not a system property but a security property. I was able to set this using:

java.security.Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.ttl", "<value>");

This can also be set by the system property -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl though this will not override a security property if it is set elsewhere.

I would also like to add that if you are seeing this issue with web services in WebSphere, as I was, setting networkaddress.cache.ttl will not be enough. You need to set the system property disableWSAddressCaching to true. Unlike the time-to-live property, this can be set as a JVM argument or via System.setProperty).

IBM has a pretty detailed post on how WebSphere handles DNS caching here. The relevant piece to the above is:

To disable address caching for Web services, you need to set an additional JVM custom property disableWSAddressCaching to true. Use this property to disable address caching for Web services. If your system typically runs with lots of client threads, and you encounter lock contention on the wsAddrCache cache, you can set this custom property to true, to prevent caching of the Web services data.

SQL Server after update trigger

Try this script to create a temporary table TESTTEST and watch the order of precedence as the triggers are called in this order: 1) INSTEAD OF, 2) FOR, 3) AFTER

All of the logic is placed in INSTEAD OF trigger and I have 2 examples of how you might code some scenarios...

Good luck...

Parsing arguments to a Java command line program

Ok, thanks to Charles Goodwin for the concept. Here is the answer:

import java.util.*;
public class Test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
     List<String> argsList  = new ArrayList<String>();  
     List<String> optsList  = new ArrayList<String>();
     List<String> doubleOptsList  = new ArrayList<String>();
     for (int i=0; i < args.length; i++) {
         switch (args[i].charAt(0)) {
         case '-':
             if (args[i].charAt(1) == '-') {
                 int len = 0;
                 String argstring = args[i].toString();
                 len = argstring.length();
                 System.out.println("Found double dash with command " +
                     argstring.substring(2, len) );
                 doubleOptsList.add(argstring.substring(2, len));           
             } else {
                 System.out.println("Found dash with command " + 
                   args[i].charAt(1) + " and value " + args[i+1] );   
                 i= i+1;
                 optsList.add(args[i]);      
             }           
         break;         
         default:            
         System.out.println("Add a default arg." );
         argsList.add(args[i]);
         break;         
         }     
     } 
  } 

}

PHP file_get_contents() returns "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!"

file_get_contents() utilizes the fopen() wrappers, therefore it is restricted from accessing URLs through the allow_url_fopen option within php.ini.

You will either need to alter your php.ini to turn this option on or use an alternative method, namely cURL - by far the most popular and, to be honest, standard way to accomplish what you are trying to do.

Determine what attributes were changed in Rails after_save callback?

To anyone seeing this later on, as it currently (Aug. 2017) tops google: It is worth mentioning, that this behavior will be altered in Rails 5.2, and has deprecation warnings as of Rails 5.1, as ActiveModel::Dirty changed a bit.

What do I change?

If you're using attribute_changed? method in the after_*-callbacks, you'll see a warning like:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The behavior of attribute_changed? inside of after callbacks will be changing in the next version of Rails. The new return value will reflect the behavior of calling the method after save returned (e.g. the opposite of what it returns now). To maintain the current behavior, use saved_change_to_attribute? instead. (called from some_callback at /PATH_TO/app/models/user.rb:15)

As it mentions, you could fix this easily by replacing the function with saved_change_to_attribute?. So for example, name_changed? becomes saved_change_to_name?.

Likewise, if you're using the attribute_change to get the before-after values, this changes as well and throws the following:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The behavior of attribute_change inside of after callbacks will be changing in the next version of Rails. The new return value will reflect the behavior of calling the method after save returned (e.g. the opposite of what it returns now). To maintain the current behavior, use saved_change_to_attribute instead. (called from some_callback at /PATH_TO/app/models/user.rb:20)

Again, as it mentions, the method changes name to saved_change_to_attribute which returns ["old", "new"]. or use saved_changes, which returns all the changes, and these can be accessed as saved_changes['attribute'].

How do I remove the passphrase for the SSH key without having to create a new key?

Short answer:

$ ssh-keygen -p

This will then prompt you to enter the keyfile location, the old passphrase, and the new passphrase (which can be left blank to have no passphrase).

If you would like to do it all on one line without prompts do:

$ ssh-keygen -p [-P old_passphrase] [-N new_passphrase] [-f keyfile]

Important: Beware that when executing commands they will typically be logged in your ~/.bash_history file (or similar) in plain text including all arguments provided (i.e. the passphrases in this case). It is, therefore, is recommended that you use the first option unless you have a specific reason to do otherwise.

Notice though that you can still use -f keyfile without having to specify -P nor -N, and that the keyfile defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa, so in many cases, it's not even needed.

You might want to consider using ssh-agent, which can cache the passphrase for a time. The latest versions of gpg-agent also support the protocol that is used by ssh-agent.

How to vertically align an image inside a div

Also, you can use Flexbox to achieve the correct result:

_x000D_

.parent {_x000D_
  align-items: center; /* For vertical align */_x000D_
  background: red;_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  height: 250px;_x000D_
  /* justify-content: center; <- for horizontal align */_x000D_
  width: 250px;_x000D_
}

_x000D_

<div class="parent">_x000D_
  <img class="child" src="https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/social-icons-circular-black/512/stackoverflow-128.png" />_x000D_
</div>

Convert Pixels to Points

There are 72 points per inch; if it is sufficient to assume 96 pixels per inch, the formula is rather simple:

points = pixels * 72 / 96

There is a way to get the configured pixels per inch of your display in Windows using GetDeviceCaps. Microsoft has a guide called "Developing DPI-Aware Applications", look for the section "Creating DPI-Aware Fonts".

The W3C has defined the pixel measurement px as exactly 1/96th of 1in regardless of the actual resolution of your display, so the above formula should be good for all web work.

Linq to Sql: Multiple left outer joins

I figured out how to use multiple left outer joins in VB.NET using LINQ to SQL:

Dim db As New ContractDataContext()

Dim query = From o In db.Orders _
            Group Join v In db.Vendors _
            On v.VendorNumber Equals o.VendorNumber _
            Into ov = Group _
            From x In ov.DefaultIfEmpty() _
            Group Join s In db.Status _
            On s.Id Equals o.StatusId Into os = Group _
            From y In os.DefaultIfEmpty() _
            Where o.OrderNumber >= 100000 And o.OrderNumber <= 200000 _
            Select Vendor_Name = x.Name, _
                   Order_Number = o.OrderNumber, _
                   Status_Name = y.StatusName

How to get a index value from foreach loop in jstl

I face Similar problem now I understand we have some more option : varStatus="loop", Here will be loop will variable which will hold the index of lop.

It can use for use to read for Zeor base index or 1 one base index.

${loop.count}` it will give 1 starting base index.

${loop.index} it will give 0 base index as normal Index of array start from 0.

For Example :

<c:forEach var="currentImage" items="${cityBannerImages}" varStatus="loop">
<picture>
   <source srcset="${currentImage}" media="(min-width: 1000px)"></source>
   <source srcset="${cityMobileImages[loop.count]}" media="(min-width:600px)"></source>
   <img srcset="${cityMobileImages[loop.count]}" alt=""></img>
</picture>
</c:forEach>

Sql select rows containing part of string

You can use the LIKE operator to compare the content of a T-SQL string, e.g.

SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE [field] LIKE '%stringtosearchfor%'.

The percent character '%' is a wild card- in this case it says return any records where [field] at least contains the value "stringtosearchfor".

How to use if-else option in JSTL

I got away with simply using two if tags, thought I'd add an answer in case it's of use to anyone else:

<c:if test="${condition}">
  ...
</c:if>
<c:if test="${!condition}">
  ...
</c:if>

whilst technically not an if-else per se, the behaviour is the same and avoids the clunky approach of using the choose tag, so depending on how complex your requirement is this might be preferable.

How do I get client IP address in ASP.NET CORE?

In my case, I have DotNet Core 2.2 Web App running on DigitalOcean with docker and nginx as reverse proxy. With this code in Startup.cs I can get the client IP

app.UseForwardedHeaders(new ForwardedHeadersOptions
        {
            ForwardedHeaders = ForwardedHeaders.All,
            RequireHeaderSymmetry = false,
            ForwardLimit = null,
            KnownNetworks = { new IPNetwork(IPAddress.Parse("::ffff:172.17.0.1"), 104) }
        });

::ffff:172.17.0.1 was the ip that I was getting before using

Request.HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress.ToString();

What is the difference between DAO and Repository patterns?

DAO is an abstraction of data persistence.
Repository is an abstraction of a collection of objects.

DAO would be considered closer to the database, often table-centric.
Repository would be considered closer to the Domain, dealing only in Aggregate Roots.

Repository could be implemented using DAO's, but you wouldn't do the opposite.

Also, a Repository is generally a narrower interface. It should be simply a collection of objects, with a Get(id), Find(ISpecification), Add(Entity).

A method like Update is appropriate on a DAO, but not a Repository - when using a Repository, changes to entities would usually be tracked by separate UnitOfWork.

It does seem common to see implementations called a Repository that is really more of a DAO, and hence I think there is some confusion about the difference between them.

Submitting the value of a disabled input field

I wanna Disable an Input Field on a form and when i submit the form the values from the disabled form is not submitted.

Use Case: i am trying to get Lat Lng from Google Map and wanna Display it.. but dont want the user to edit it.

You can use the readonly property in your input field

How do I implement interfaces in python?

interface supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+.

To install interface you have to

pip install python-interface

Example Code:

from interface import implements, Interface

class MyInterface(Interface):

    def method1(self, x):
        pass

    def method2(self, x, y):
        pass


class MyClass(implements(MyInterface)):

    def method1(self, x):
        return x * 2

    def method2(self, x, y):
        return x + y

Remove last character of a StringBuilder?

You may try to use 'Joiner' class instead of removing the last character from your generated text;

                List<String> textList = new ArrayList<>();
                textList.add("text1");
                textList.add("text2");
                textList.add("text3");

                Joiner joiner = Joiner.on(",").useForNull("null");
                String output = joiner.join(textList);

               //output : "text1,text2,text3"

How does one create an InputStream from a String?

Instead of CharSet.forName, using com.google.common.base.Charsets from Google's Guava (http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/StringsExplained#Charsets) is is slightly nicer:

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream( myString.getBytes(Charsets.UTF_8) );

Which CharSet you use depends entirely on what you're going to do with the InputStream, of course.

onNewIntent() lifecycle and registered listeners

onNewIntent() is meant as entry point for singleTop activities which already run somewhere else in the stack and therefore can't call onCreate(). From activities lifecycle point of view it's therefore needed to call onPause() before onNewIntent(). I suggest you to rewrite your activity to not use these listeners inside of onNewIntent(). For example most of the time my onNewIntent() methods simply looks like this:

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    // getIntent() should always return the most recent
    setIntent(intent);
}

With all setup logic happening in onResume() by utilizing getIntent().

Create a .csv file with values from a Python list

import csv

with open(..., 'wb') as myfile:
    wr = csv.writer(myfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
    wr.writerow(mylist)

Edit: this only works with python 2.x.

To make it work with python 3.x replace wb with w (see this SO answer)

with open(..., 'w', newline='') as myfile:
     wr = csv.writer(myfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
     wr.writerow(mylist)

How can I get all sequences in an Oracle database?

select sequence_owner, sequence_name from dba_sequences;


DBA_SEQUENCES -- all sequences that exist 
ALL_SEQUENCES  -- all sequences that you have permission to see 
USER_SEQUENCES  -- all sequences that you own

Note that since you are, by definition, the owner of all the sequences returned from USER_SEQUENCES, there is no SEQUENCE_OWNER column in USER_SEQUENCES.

MySQL: Fastest way to count number of rows

When you COUNT(*) it takes in count column indexes, so it will be the best result. Mysql with MyISAM engine actually stores row count, it doensn't count all rows each time you try to count all rows. (based on primary key's column)

Using PHP to count rows is not very smart, because you have to send data from mysql to php. Why do it when you can achieve the same on the mysql side?

If the COUNT(*) is slow, you should run EXPLAIN on the query, and check if indexes are really used, and where should they be added.

The following is not the fastest way, but there is a case, where COUNT(*) doesn't really fit - when you start grouping results, you can run into problem, where COUNT doesn't really count all rows.

The solution is SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS. This is usually used when you are selecting rows but still need to know the total row count (for example, for paging). When you select data rows, just append the SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS keyword after SELECT:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS [needed fields or *] FROM table LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0;

After you have selected needed rows, you can get the count with this single query:

SELECT FOUND_ROWS();

FOUND_ROWS() has to be called immediately after the data selecting query.

In conclusion, everything actually comes down to how many entries you have and what is in the WHERE statement. You should really pay attention on how indexes are being used, when there are lots of rows (tens of thousands, millions, and up).

How do I get a string format of the current date time, in python?

#python3

import datetime
print(
    '1: test-{date:%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S}.txt'.format( date=datetime.datetime.now() )
    )

d = datetime.datetime.now()
print( "2a: {:%B %d, %Y}".format(d))

# see the f" to tell python this is a f string, no .format
print(f"2b: {d:%B %d, %Y}")

print(f"3: Today is {datetime.datetime.now():%Y-%m-%d} yay")

1: test-2018-02-14_16:40:52.txt

2a: March 04, 2018

2b: March 04, 2018

3: Today is 2018-11-11 yay

Description:

Using the new string format to inject value into a string at placeholder {}, value is the current time.

Then rather than just displaying the raw value as {}, use formatting to obtain the correct date format.

How to Apply Gradient to background view of iOS Swift App

There is a library called Chameleon (https://github.com/viccalexander/Chameleon) which one can use for gradient colors. It even has styles of gradient to implement. This is how you can add it in swift 4 podfile pod 'ChameleonFramework/Swift', :git => 'https://github.com/ViccAlexander/Chameleon.git', :branch => 'wip/swift4'

import ChameleonFramework

let colors:[UIColor] = [
  UIColor.flatPurpleColorDark(), 
  UIColor.flatWhiteColor()
]
view.backgroundColor = GradientColor(.TopToBottom, frame: view.frame, colors: colors)

What is unexpected T_VARIABLE in PHP?

It could be some other line as well. PHP is not always that exact.

Probably you are just missing a semicolon on previous line.

How to reproduce this error, put this in a file called a.php:

<?php
  $a = 5
  $b = 7;        // Error happens here.
  print $b;
?>

Run it:

eric@dev ~ $ php a.php

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/home/el/code/a.php on line 3

Explanation:

The PHP parser converts your program to a series of tokens. A T_VARIABLE is a Token of type VARIABLE. When the parser processes tokens, it tries to make sense of them, and throws errors if it receives a variable where none is allowed.

In the simple case above with variable $b, the parser tried to process this:

$a = 5 $b = 7;

The PHP parser looks at the $b after the 5 and says "that is unexpected".

CSS3 Transparency + Gradient

Excel cell value as string won't store as string

Use Range("A1").Text instead of .Value

post comment edit:
Why?
Because the .Text property of Range object returns what is literally visible in the spreadsheet, so if you cell displays for example i100l:25he*_92 then <- Text will return exactly what it in the cell including any formatting.
The .Value and .Value2 properties return what's stored in the cell under the hood excluding formatting. Specially .Value2 for date types, it will return the decimal representation.

If you want to dig deeper into the meaning and performance, I just found this article which seems like a good guide

another edit
Here you go @Santosh
type in (MANUALLY) the values from the DEFAULT (col A) to other columns
Do not format column A at all
Format column B as Text
Format column C as Date[dd/mm/yyyy]
Format column D as Percentage
Dont Format column A, Format B as TEXT, C as Date, D as Percentage
now,
paste this code in a module

Is there a pretty print for PHP?

How about print_r?

Group by with multiple columns using lambda

I came up with a mix of defining a class like David's answer, but not requiring a Where class to go with it. It looks something like:

var resultsGroupings = resultsRecords.GroupBy(r => new { r.IdObj1, r.IdObj2, r.IdObj3})
                                    .Select(r => new ResultGrouping {
                                        IdObj1= r.Key.IdObj1,
                                        IdObj2= r.Key.IdObj2,
                                        IdObj3= r.Key.IdObj3,
                                        Results = r.ToArray(),
                                        Count = r.Count()
                                    });



private class ResultGrouping
        {
            public short IdObj1{ get; set; }
            public short IdObj2{ get; set; }
            public int IdObj3{ get; set; }

            public ResultCsvImport[] Results { get; set; }
            public int Count { get; set; }
        }

Where resultRecords is my initial list I'm grouping, and its a List<ResultCsvImport>. Note that the idea here to is that, I'm grouping by 3 columns, IdObj1 and IdObj2 and IdObj3

How to remove all null elements from a ArrayList or String Array?

If you prefer immutable data objects, or if you just dont want to be destructive to the input list, you can use Guava's predicates.

ImmutableList.copyOf(Iterables.filter(tourists, Predicates.notNull()))

How to Use -confirm in PowerShell

-Confirm is a switch in most PowerShell cmdlets that forces the cmdlet to ask for user confirmation. What you're actually looking for is the Read-Host cmdlet:

$confirmation = Read-Host "Are you Sure You Want To Proceed:"
if ($confirmation -eq 'y') {
    # proceed
}

or the PromptForChoice() method of the host user interface:

$title    = 'something'
$question = 'Are you sure you want to proceed?'

$choices = New-Object Collections.ObjectModel.Collection[Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription]
$choices.Add((New-Object Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription -ArgumentList '&Yes'))
$choices.Add((New-Object Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription -ArgumentList '&No'))

$decision = $Host.UI.PromptForChoice($title, $question, $choices, 1)
if ($decision -eq 0) {
    Write-Host 'confirmed'
} else {
    Write-Host 'cancelled'
}

Edit:

As M-pixel pointed out in the comments the code could be simplified further, because the choices can be passed as a simple string array.

$title    = 'something'
$question = 'Are you sure you want to proceed?'
$choices  = '&Yes', '&No'

$decision = $Host.UI.PromptForChoice($title, $question, $choices, 1)
if ($decision -eq 0) {
    Write-Host 'confirmed'
} else {
    Write-Host 'cancelled'
}

Maven2: Missing artifact but jars are in place

I had the similar problem. Just after adding below dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.1</version>
    <type>bundle</type>
</dependency>

caused the problem. I deleted that dependency even then I'm getting the same error. I don't know what happened. I tried updating the maven dependency configuration which solved my issue.

Error: free(): invalid next size (fast):

If you are trying to allocate space for an array of pointers, such as

char** my_array_of_strings;  // or some array of pointers such as int** or even void**

then you will need to consider word size (8 bytes in a 64-bit system, 4 bytes in a 32-bit system) when allocating space for n pointers. The size of a pointer is the same of your word size.

So while you may wish to allocate space for n pointers, you are actually going to need n times 8 or 4 (for 64-bit or 32-bit systems, respectively)

To avoid overflowing your allocated memory for n elements of 8 bytes:

my_array_of_strings = (char**) malloc( n * 8 );  // for 64-bit systems
my_array_of_strings = (char**) malloc( n * 4 );  // for 32-bit systems

This will return a block of n pointers, each consisting of 8 bytes (or 4 bytes if you're using a 32-bit system)

I have noticed that Linux will allow you to use all n pointers when you haven't compensated for word size, but when you try to free that memory it realizes its mistake and it gives out that rather nasty error. And it is a bad one, when you overflow allocated memory, many security issues lie in wait.

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

I suggest loganfsmyths method, using an array to hold the data.

var bufs = [];
stdout.on('data', function(d){ bufs.push(d); });
stdout.on('end', function(){
  var buf = Buffer.concat(bufs);
}

IN my current working example, i am working with GRIDfs and npm's Jimp.

   var bucket = new GridFSBucket(getDBReference(), { bucketName: 'images' } );
    var dwnldStream = bucket.openDownloadStream(info[0]._id);// original size
  dwnldStream.on('data', function(chunk) {
       data.push(chunk);
    });
  dwnldStream.on('end', function() {
    var buff =Buffer.concat(data);
    console.log("buffer: ", buff);
       jimp.read(buff)
.then(image => {
         console.log("read the image!");
         IMAGE_SIZES.forEach( (size)=>{
         resize(image,size);
         });
});

I did some other research

with a string method but that did not work, per haps because i was reading from an image file, but the array method did work.

const DISCLAIMER = "DONT DO THIS";
var data = "";
stdout.on('data', function(d){ 
           bufs+=d; 
         });
stdout.on('end', function(){
          var buf = Buffer.from(bufs);
          //// do work with the buffer here

          });

When i did the string method i got this error from npm jimp

buffer:  <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00>
{ Error: Could not find MIME for Buffer <null>

basically i think the type coersion from binary to string didnt work so well.

Should I set max pool size in database connection string? What happens if I don't?

We can define maximum pool size in following way:

                <pool> 
               <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
                <max-pool-size>200</max-pool-size>
                <prefill>true</prefill>
                <use-strict-min>true</use-strict-min>
                <flush-strategy>IdleConnections</flush-strategy>
                </pool>

what does this mean ? image/png;base64?

That is, you are referencing an image, but instead of providing an external url, the png image data is in the url itself, embedded in the style sheet. data:image/png;base64 tells the browser that the data is inline, is a png image and is in this case base64 encoded. The encoding is needed because png images can contain bytes that are invalid inside a HTML document (or within the HTTP protocol even).

IF EXISTS before INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE for optimization

Neither

UPDATE … IF (@@ROWCOUNT = 0) INSERT

nor

IF EXISTS(...) UPDATE ELSE INSERT

patterns work as expected under high concurrency. Both may fail. Both may fail very frequently. MERGE is the king - it holds up much better.Let us do some stress testing and see for ourselves.

Here is the table we shall be using:

CREATE TABLE dbo.TwoINTs
    (
      ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
      i1 INT NOT NULL ,
      i2 INT NOT NULL ,
      version ROWVERSION
    ) ;
GO

INSERT  INTO dbo.TwoINTs
        ( ID, i1, i2 )
VALUES  ( 1, 0, 0 ) ;

IF EXISTS(…) THEN pattern frequently fails under high concurrency.

Let us insert or update rows in a loop using the following simple logic: if a row with given ID exists, update it, and otherwise insert a new one. The following loop implements this logic. Cut and paste it into two tabs, switch into text mode in both tabs, and run them simultaneously.

-- hit Ctrl+T to execute in text mode

SET NOCOUNT ON ;

DECLARE @ID INT ;

SET @ID = 0 ;
WHILE @ID > -100000
    BEGIN ;
        SET @ID = ( SELECT  MIN(ID)
                    FROM    dbo.TwoINTs
                  ) - 1 ;
        BEGIN TRY ;

            BEGIN TRANSACTION ;
            IF EXISTS ( SELECT  *
                        FROM    dbo.TwoINTs
                        WHERE   ID = @ID )
                BEGIN ;
                    UPDATE  dbo.TwoINTs
                    SET     i1 = 1
                    WHERE   ID = @ID ;
                END ;
            ELSE
                BEGIN ;
                    INSERT  INTO dbo.TwoINTs
                            ( ID, i1, i2 )
                    VALUES  ( @ID, 0, 0 ) ;
                END ;
            COMMIT ; 
        END TRY
        BEGIN CATCH ;
            ROLLBACK ; 
            SELECT  error_message() ;
        END CATCH ;
    END ;

When we run this script simultaneously in two tabs, we shall immediately get a huge amount of primary key violations in both tabs. This demonstrates how unreliable the IF EXISTS pattern is when it executes under high concurrency.

Note: this example also demonstrates that it is not safe to use SELECT MAX(ID)+1 or SELECT MIN(ID)-1 as the next available unique value if we do it under concurrency.

UML class diagram enum

Typically you model the enum itself as a class with the enum stereotype

Java Enum return Int

Do you want to this code?

public static enum FieldIndex {
    HDB_TRX_ID,     //TRX ID
    HDB_SYS_ID      //SYSTEM ID
}

public String print(ArrayList<String> itemName){
    return itemName.get(FieldIndex.HDB_TRX_ID.ordinal());
}

What is the difference between the HashMap and Map objects in Java?

You create the same maps.

But you can fill the difference when you will use it. With first case you'll be able to use special HashMap methods (but I don't remember anyone realy useful), and you'll be able to pass it as a HashMap parameter:

public void foo (HashMap<String, Object) { ... }

...

HashMap<String, Object> m1 = ...;
Map<String, Object> m2 = ...;

foo (m1);
foo ((HashMap<String, Object>)m2);

Array versus linked-list

For me it is like this,

Access
- Linked Lists allow only sequential access to elements. Thus the algorithmic complexities is order of O(n)
- Arrays allow random access to its elements and thus the complexity is order of O(1)
Storage
- Linked lists require an extra storage for references. This makes them impractical for lists of small data items such as characters or boolean values.
- Arrays do not need an extra storage to point to next data item. Each element can be accessed via indexes.
Size
- The size of Linked lists are dynamic by nature.
- The size of array is restricted to declaration.
Insertion/Deletion
- Elements can be inserted and deleted in linked lists indefinitely.
- Insertion/Deletion of values in arrays are very expensive. It requires memory reallocation.

window.open target _self v window.location.href?

Please use this

window.open("url","_self");

The first parameter "url" is full path of which page you want to open.

The second parameter "_self", It's used for open page in same tab. You want open the page in another tab please use "_blank".

How to check whether a select box is empty using JQuery/Javascript

To check whether select box has any values:

if( $('#fruit_name').has('option').length > 0 ) {

To check whether selected value is empty:

if( !$('#fruit_name').val() ) {

Create a data.frame with m columns and 2 rows

Does m really need to be a data.frame() or will a matrix() suffice?

m <- matrix(0, ncol = 30, nrow = 2)

You can wrap a data.frame() around that if you need to:

m <- data.frame(m)

or all in one line: m <- data.frame(matrix(0, ncol = 30, nrow = 2))

Convert or extract TTC font to TTF - how to?

If you've got a Mac the easiest way to split those would be to use DfontSplitter, available at https://peter.upfold.org.uk/projects/dfontsplitter

The Windows version they provide doesn't work with ttc files.

Subtract a value from every number in a list in Python?

You can use map() function:

a = list(map(lambda x: x - 13, a))

Redirect to Action by parameter mvc

return RedirectToAction("ProductImageManager","Index", new   { id=id   });

Here is an invalid parameters order, should be an action first
AND
ensure your routing table is correct

Filtering DataSet

You can use DataTable.Select:

var strExpr = "CostumerID = 1 AND OrderCount > 2";
var strSort = "OrderCount DESC";

// Use the Select method to find all rows matching the filter.
foundRows = ds.Table[0].Select(strExpr, strSort);

Or you can use DataView:

ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.RowFilter = strExpr;

UPDATE I'm not sure why you want to have a DataSet returned. But I'd go with the following solution:

var dv = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = strExpr;
var newDS = new DataSet();
var newDT = dv.ToTable();
newDS.Tables.Add(newDT);

Get current rowIndex of table in jQuery

Try this,

$('td').click(function(){
   var row_index = $(this).parent().index();
   var col_index = $(this).index();
});

If you need the index of table contain td then you can change it to

var row_index = $(this).parent('table').index();

What's the advantage of a Java enum versus a class with public static final fields?

Main reason: Enums help you to write well-structured code where the semantic meaning of parameters is clear and strongly-typed at compile time - for all the reasons other answers have given.

Quid pro quo: in Java out of the box, an Enum's array of members is final. That's normally good as it helps value safety and testing, but in some situations it could be a drawback, for example if you are extending existing base code perhaps from a library. In contrast, if the same data is in a class with static fields you can easily add new instances of that class at runtime (you might also need to write code to add these to any Iterable you have for that class). But this behaviour of Enums can be changed: using reflection you can add new members at runtime or replace existing members, though this should probably only be done in specialised situations where there is no alternative: i.e. it's a hacky solution and may produce unexpected issues, see my answer on Can I add and remove elements of enumeration at runtime in Java.

Python dictionary : TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

The error you gave is due to the fact that in python, dictionary keys must be immutable types (if key can change, there will be problems), and list is a mutable type.

Your error says that you try to use a list as dictionary key, you'll have to change your list into tuples if you want to put them as keys in your dictionary.

According to the python doc :

The only types of values not acceptable as keys are values containing lists or dictionaries or other mutable types that are compared by value rather than by object identity, the reason being that the efficient implementation of dictionaries requires a key’s hash value to remain constant

How to update one file in a zip archive

7zip (7za) can be used for adding/updating files/directories nicely:

Example: Replacing (regardless of file date) the MANIFEST.MF file in a JAR file. The /source/META-INF directory contains the MANIFEST.MF file that you want to put into the jar (zip):

7za a /tmp/file.jar /source/META-INF/

Only update (does not replace the target if the source is older)

7za u /tmp/file.jar /source/META-INF/

HTTP Status 504

I have had another issue giving me a 504. It's pretty far out but I'll write it up here for googlers and posterity...

I have a client calling an IIS hosted webservice hosted in another domain (Active Directory). There is not full trust between the client domain and the domain where the web services is hosted. One of the many challenges with the selective trust between these two domains is that Kerberos does not work when calling from one to the other.

In my case I was trying to call a service in another domain where I found out that a SPN was registered. Like this : http/myurl.test.local (just an example)

This forces the call to use Kerberos instead of letting it fall back to NTLM and this gave me a 405 back from the calling server.

After removing the spn and allowing the call to fall back to NTLM, it works fine.

As I said ... this is not something you are likely to run into, as most organizations do not venture into having such a selective trusts between two domains ... But it gives a 504 and caused me a few (more) gray hairs.

How to find topmost view controller on iOS

Expanding on @Eric's answer, you need to be careful that the keyWindow is actually the window you want. If you are trying to utilize this method after tapping something in an alert view for example, the keyWindow will actually be the alert's window, and that will cause problems for you no doubt. This happened to me in the wild when handling deep links via an alert and caused SIGABRTs with NO STACK TRACE. Total bitch to debug.

Here's the code I'm using now:

- (UIViewController *)getTopMostViewController {
    UIWindow *topWindow = [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow;
    if (topWindow.windowLevel != UIWindowLevelNormal) {
        NSArray *windows = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows;
        for(topWindow in windows)
        {
            if (topWindow.windowLevel == UIWindowLevelNormal)
                break;
        }
    }

    UIViewController *topViewController = topWindow.rootViewController;

    while (topViewController.presentedViewController) {
        topViewController = topViewController.presentedViewController;
    }

    return topViewController;
}

Feel free to mix this with whatever flavor of retrieving the top view controller you like from the other answers on this question.

Shell Script Syntax Error: Unexpected End of File

I have found that this is sometimes caused by running a MS Dos version of a file. If that's the case dos2ux should fix that.

Using find command in bash script

Welcome to bash. It's an old, dark and mysterious thing, capable of great magic. :-)

The option you're asking about is for the find command though, not for bash. From your command line, you can man find to see the options.

The one you're looking for is -o for "or":

  list="$(find /home/user/Desktop -name '*.bmp' -o -name '*.txt')"

That said ... Don't do this. Storage like this may work for simple filenames, but as soon as you have to deal with special characters, like spaces and newlines, all bets are off. See ParsingLs for details.

$ touch 'one.txt' 'two three.txt' 'foo.bmp'
$ list="$(find . -name \*.txt -o -name \*.bmp -type f)"
$ for file in $list; do if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then echo "MISSING: $file"; fi; done
MISSING: ./two
MISSING: three.txt

Pathname expansion (globbing) provides a much better/safer way to keep track of files. Then you can also use bash arrays:

$ a=( *.txt *.bmp )
$ declare -p a
declare -a a=([0]="one.txt" [1]="two three.txt" [2]="foo.bmp")
$ for file in "${a[@]}"; do ls -l "$file"; done
-rw-r--r--  1 ghoti  staff  0 24 May 16:27 one.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 ghoti  staff  0 24 May 16:27 two three.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 ghoti  staff  0 24 May 16:27 foo.bmp

The Bash FAQ has lots of other excellent tips about programming in bash.

Regular expression for 10 digit number without any special characters

An example of how to implement it:

public bool ValidateSocialSecNumber(string socialSecNumber)
{
    //Accepts only 10 digits, no more no less. (Like Mike's answer)
    Regex pattern = new Regex(@"(?<!\d)\d{10}(?!\d)");

    if(pattern.isMatch(socialSecNumber))
    {
        //Do something
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

You could've also done it in another way by e.g. using Match and then wrapping a try-catch block around the pattern matching. However, if a wrong input is given quite often, it's quite expensive to throw an exception. Thus, I prefer the above way, in simple cases at least.

How can I serve static html from spring boot?

You can quickly serve static content in JAVA Spring-boot App via thymeleaf (ref: source)

I assume you have already added Spring Boot plugin apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot' and the necessary buildscript

Then go ahead and ADD thymeleaf to your build.gradle ==>

dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

Lets assume you have added home.html at src/main/resources To serve this file, you will need to create a controller.

package com.ajinkya.th.controller;

  import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
  import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

How can I measure the similarity between two images?

You'll need pattern recognition for that. To determine small differences between two images, Hopfield nets work fairly well and are quite easy to implement. I don't know any available implementations, though.

What is the best way to use a HashMap in C++?

The standard library includes the ordered and the unordered map (std::map and std::unordered_map) containers. In an ordered map the elements are sorted by the key, insert and access is in O(log n). Usually the standard library internally uses red black trees for ordered maps. But this is just an implementation detail. In an unordered map insert and access is in O(1). It is just another name for a hashtable.

An example with (ordered) std::map:

#include <map>
#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  std::map<std::string, int> m;
  m["hello"] = 23;
  // check if key is present
  if (m.find("world") != m.end())
    std::cout << "map contains key world!\n";
  // retrieve
  std::cout << m["hello"] << '\n';
  std::map<std::string, int>::iterator i = m.find("hello");
  assert(i != m.end());
  std::cout << "Key: " << i->first << " Value: " << i->second << '\n';
  return 0;
}

Output:

23
Key: hello Value: 23

If you need ordering in your container and are fine with the O(log n) runtime then just use std::map.

Otherwise, if you really need a hash-table (O(1) insert/access), check out std::unordered_map, which has a similar to std::map API (e.g. in the above example you just have to search and replace map with unordered_map).

The unordered_map container was introduced with the C++11 standard revision. Thus, depending on your compiler, you have to enable C++11 features (e.g. when using GCC 4.8 you have to add -std=c++11 to the CXXFLAGS).

Even before the C++11 release GCC supported unordered_map - in the namespace std::tr1. Thus, for old GCC compilers you can try to use it like this:

#include <tr1/unordered_map>

std::tr1::unordered_map<std::string, int> m;

It is also part of boost, i.e. you can use the corresponding boost-header for better portability.

Casting to string in JavaScript

if you are ok with null, undefined, NaN, 0, and false all casting to '' then (s ? s+'' : '') is faster.

note - there are significant differences across browsers at this time.

Cell color changing in Excel using C#

Note: This assumes that you will declare constants for row and column indexes named COLUMN_HEADING_ROW, FIRST_COL, and LAST_COL, and that _xlSheet is the name of the ExcelSheet (using Microsoft.Interop.Excel)

First, define the range:

var columnHeadingsRange = _xlSheet.Range[
    _xlSheet.Cells[COLUMN_HEADING_ROW, FIRST_COL],
    _xlSheet.Cells[COLUMN_HEADING_ROW, LAST_COL]];

Then, set the background color of that range:

columnHeadingsRange.Interior.Color = XlRgbColor.rgbSkyBlue;

Finally, set the font color:

columnHeadingsRange.Font.Color = XlRgbColor.rgbWhite;

And here's the code combined:

var columnHeadingsRange = _xlSheet.Range[
    _xlSheet.Cells[COLUMN_HEADING_ROW, FIRST_COL],
    _xlSheet.Cells[COLUMN_HEADING_ROW, LAST_COL]];

columnHeadingsRange.Interior.Color = XlRgbColor.rgbSkyBlue;

columnHeadingsRange.Font.Color = XlRgbColor.rgbWhite;

How to convert View Model into JSON object in ASP.NET MVC?

I found it to be pretty nice to do it like this (usage in the view):

    @Html.HiddenJsonFor(m => m.TrackingTypes)

Here is the according helper method Extension class:

public static class DataHelpers
{
    public static MvcHtmlString HiddenJsonFor<TModel, TProperty>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression)
    {
        return HiddenJsonFor(htmlHelper, expression, (IDictionary<string, object>) null);
    }

    public static MvcHtmlString HiddenJsonFor<TModel, TProperty>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression, object htmlAttributes)
    {
        return HiddenJsonFor(htmlHelper, expression, HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlAttributes));
    }

    public static MvcHtmlString HiddenJsonFor<TModel, TProperty>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> expression, IDictionary<string, object> htmlAttributes)
    {
        var name = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        var metadata = ModelMetadata.FromLambdaExpression(expression, htmlHelper.ViewData);

        var tagBuilder = new TagBuilder("input");
        tagBuilder.MergeAttributes(htmlAttributes);
        tagBuilder.MergeAttribute("name", name);
        tagBuilder.MergeAttribute("type", "hidden");

        var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(metadata.Model);

        tagBuilder.MergeAttribute("value", json);

        return MvcHtmlString.Create(tagBuilder.ToString());
    }
}

It is not super-sofisticated, but it solves the problem of where to put it (in Controller or in view?) The answer is obviously: neither ;)

Difference between a theta join, equijoin and natural join

Cartesian product of two tables gives all the possible combinations of tuples like the example in mathematics the cross product of two sets . since many a times there are some junk values which occupy unnecessary space in the memory too so here joins comes to rescue which give the combination of only those attribute values which are required and are meaningful.

inner join gives the repeated field in the table twice whereas natural join here solves the problem by just filtering the repeated columns and displaying it only once.else, both works the same. natural join is more efficient since it preserves the memory .Also , redundancies are removed in natural join .

equi join of two tables are such that they display only those tuples which matches the value in other table . for example : let new1 and new2 be two tables . if sql query select * from new1 join new2 on new1.id = new.id (id is the same column in two tables) then start from new2 table and join which matches the id in second table . besides , non equi join do not have equality operator they have <,>,and between operator .

theta join consists of all the comparison operator including equality and others < , > comparison operator. when it uses equality(=) operator it is known as equi join .

Laravel 4: how to run a raw SQL?

The accepted way to rename a table in Laravel 4 is to use the Schema builder. So you would want to do:

Schema::rename('photos', 'images');

From http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/schema#creating-and-dropping-tables

If you really want to write out a raw SQL query yourself, you can always do:

DB::statement('alter table photos rename to images');

Note: Laravel's DB class also supports running raw SQL select, insert, update, and delete queries, like:

$users = DB::select('select id, name from users');

For more info, see http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/database#running-queries.

newline character in c# string

A great way of handling this is with regular expressions.

string modifiedString = Regex.Replace(originalString, @"(\r\n)|\n|\r", "<br/>");

This will replace any of the 3 legal types of newline with the html tag.

How do you add swap to an EC2 instance?

You can use the following script to add swap on Amazon Linux.

https://github.com/chetankapoor/swap

Download the script using wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chetankapoor/swap/master/swap.sh -O swap.sh

Then run the script with the following format:

sh swap.sh 2G

For a complete tutorial you can visit:

is the + operator less performant than StringBuffer.append()

I like to use functional style, such as:

function href(url,txt) {
  return "<a href='" +url+ "'>" +txt+ "</a>"
}

function li(txt) {
  return "<li>" +txt+ "</li>"
}

function ul(arr) {
  return "<ul>" + arr.map(li).join("") + "</ul>"
}

document.write(
  ul(
    [
      href("http://url1","link1"),
      href("http://url2","link2"),
      href("http://url3","link3")
    ]
  )
)

This style looks readable and transparent. It leads to the creation of utilities which reduces repetition in code.

This also tends to use intermediate strings automatically.

How to shuffle an ArrayList

How to include a sub-view in Blade templates?

You can use the blade template engine:

@include('view.name')

'view.name' would live in your main views folder:

// for laravel 4.X
app/views/view/name.blade.php  

// for laravel 5.X
resources/views/view/name.blade.php

Another example

@include('hello.world');

would display the following view

// for laravel 4.X
app/views/hello/world.blade.php

// for laravel 5.X
resources/views/hello/world.blade.php

Another example

@include('some.directory.structure.foo');

would display the following view

// for Laravel 4.X
app/views/some/directory/structure/foo.blade.php

// for Laravel 5.X
resources/views/some/directory/structure/foo.blade.php

So basically the dot notation defines the directory hierarchy that your view is in, followed by the view name, relative to app/views folder for laravel 4.x or your resources/views folder in laravel 5.x

ADDITIONAL

If you want to pass parameters: @include('view.name', array('paramName' => 'value'))

You can then use the value in your views like so <p>{{$paramName}}</p>

Comparing two dataframes and getting the differences

Building on alko's answer that almost worked for me, except for the filtering step (where I get: ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis), here is the final solution I used:

# join the dataframes
united_data = pd.concat([data1, data2, data3, ...])
# group the data by the whole row to find duplicates
united_data_grouped = united_data.groupby(list(united_data.columns))
# detect the row indices of unique rows
uniq_data_idx = [x[0] for x in united_data_grouped.indices.values() if len(x) == 1]
# extract those unique values
uniq_data = united_data.iloc[uniq_data_idx]

How do I compare a value to a backslash?

Use following code to perform if-else conditioning in python: Here, I am checking the length of the string. If the length is less than 3 then do nothing, if more then 3 then I check the last 3 characters. If last 3 characters are "ing" then I add "ly" at the end otherwise I add "ing" at the end.

Code-

if (len(s)<=3):
    return s
elif s[-3:]=="ing":
    return s+"ly"
else: return s + "ing"

Concatenate String in String Objective-c

Yes, do

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"first part %@ second part", varyingString];

For concatenation you can use stringByAppendingString

NSString *str = @"hello ";
str = [str stringByAppendingString:@"world"]; //str is now "hello world"

For multiple strings

NSString *varyingString1 = @"hello";
NSString *varyingString2 = @"world";
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@ %@", varyingString1, varyingString2];
//str is now "hello world"

Can't operator == be applied to generic types in C#?

It appears that without the class constraint:

bool Compare<T> (T x, T y) where T: class
{
    return x == y;
}

One should realize that while class constrained Equals in the == operator inherits from Object.Equals, while that of a struct overrides ValueType.Equals.

Note that:

bool Compare<T> (T x, T y) where T: struct
{
    return x == y;
}

also gives out the same compiler error.

As yet I do not understand why having a value type equality operator comparison is rejected by the compiler. I do know for a fact though, that this works:

bool Compare<T> (T x, T y)
{
    return x.Equals(y);
}

jQuery UI Accordion Expand/Collapse All

I found AlecRust's solution quite helpful, but I add something to resolve one problem: When you click on a single accordion to expand it and then you click on the button to expand, they will all be opened. But, if you click again on the button to collapse, the single accordion expand before won't be collapse.

I've used imageButton, but you can also apply that logic to buttons.

/*** Expand all ***/
$(".expandAll").click(function (event) {
    $('.accordion .ui-accordion-header:not(.ui-state-active)').next().slideDown();

    return false;
});

/*** Collapse all ***/
$(".collapseAll").click(function (event) {
    $('.accordion').accordion({
        collapsible: true,
        active: false
    });

    $('.accordion .ui-accordion-header').next().slideUp();

    return false;
});

Also, if you have accordions inside an accordion and you want to expand all only on that second level, you can add a query:

/*** Expand all Second Level ***/
$(".expandAll").click(function (event) {
    $('.accordion .ui-accordion-header:not(.ui-state-active)').nextAll(':has(.accordion .ui-accordion-header)').slideDown();

    return false;
});

Finishing current activity from a fragment

Well actually...

I wouldn't have the Fragment try to finish the Activity. That places too much authority on the Fragment in my opinion. Instead, I would use the guide here: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html

Have the Fragment define an interface which the Activity must implement. Make a call up to the Activity, then let the Activity decide what to do with the information. If the activity wishes to finish itself, then it can.

sscanf in Python

When I'm in a C mood, I usually use zip and list comprehensions for scanf-like behavior. Like this:

input = '1 3.0 false hello'
(a, b, c, d) = [t(s) for t,s in zip((int,float,strtobool,str),input.split())]
print (a, b, c, d)

Note that for more complex format strings, you do need to use regular expressions:

import re
input = '1:3.0 false,hello'
(a, b, c, d) = [t(s) for t,s in zip((int,float,strtobool,str),re.search('^(\d+):([\d.]+) (\w+),(\w+)$',input).groups())]
print (a, b, c, d)

Note also that you need conversion functions for all types you want to convert. For example, above I used something like:

strtobool = lambda s: {'true': True, 'false': False}[s]

Can I clear cell contents without changing styling?

you can use ClearContents. ex,

Range("X").Cells.ClearContents

How to delete all the rows in a table using Eloquent?

I've seen both methods been used in seed files.

// Uncomment the below to wipe the table clean before populating

DB::table('table_name')->truncate();

//or

DB::table('table_name')->delete();

Even though you can not use the first one if you want to set foreign keys.

Cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint

So it might be a good idea to use the second one.

Text not wrapping in p tag

For others that find themselves here, the css I was looking for was

overflow-wrap: break-word;

Which will only break a word if it needs to (the length of the single word is greater than the width of the p), unlike word-break: break-all which can break the last word of every line.

How to use router.navigateByUrl and router.navigate in Angular

router.navigate vs router.navigateByUrl

router.navigate is just a convenience method that wraps router.navigateByUrl, it boils down to:

navigate(commands: any[], extras) {
    return router.navigateByUrl(router.createUrlTree(commands, extras), extras);
}

As mentioned in other answers router.navigateByUrl will only accept absolute URLs:

// This will work
router.navigateByUrl("http://localhost/team/33/user/11")
// This WON'T work even though relativeTo parameter is in the signature
router.navigateByUrl("../22", {relativeTo: route})

All the relative calculations are done by router.createUrlTree and router.navigate. Array syntax is used to treat every array element as a URL modifying "command". E.g. ".." - go up, "path" - go down, {expand: true} - add query param, etc.. You can use it like this:

// create /team/33/user/11
router.navigate(['/team', 33, 'user', 11]);

// assuming the current url is `/team/33/user/11` and the route points to `user/11`

// navigate to /team/33/user/11/details
router.navigate(['details'], {relativeTo: route});

// navigate to /team/33/user/22
router.navigate(['../22'], {relativeTo: route});

// navigate to /team/44/user/22
router.navigate(['../../team/44/user/22'], {relativeTo: route});

That {relativeTo: route} parameter is important as that's what router will use as the root for relative operations.

Get it through your component's constructor:

  // In my-awesome.component.ts:

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute, private router: Router) {}
  
  // Example call
  onNavigateClick() {
    // Navigates to a parent component
    this.router.navigate([..], { relativeTo: this.route })
  }

routerLink directive

Nicest thing about this directive is that it will retrieve the ActivatedRoute for you. Under the hood it's using already familiar:

router.navigateByUrl(router.createUrlTree(commands, { relativeTo: route }), { relativeTo: route });

Following variants will produce identical result:

[routerLink]="['../..']"

// if the string parameter is passed it will be wrapped into an array
routerLink="../.."

How to make MySQL handle UTF-8 properly

Update:

Short answer - You should almost always be using the utf8mb4 charset and utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation.

To alter database:

ALTER DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

See:

Aaron's comment on this answer How to make MySQL handle UTF-8 properly
What's the difference between utf8_general_ci and utf8_unicode_ci
Conversion guide: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-conversion.html

Original Answer:

MySQL 4.1 and above has a default character set of UTF-8. You can verify this in your my.cnf file, remember to set both client and server (default-character-set and character-set-server).

If you have existing data that you wish to convert to UTF-8, dump your database, and import it back as UTF-8 making sure:

use SET NAMES utf8 before you query/insert into the database
use DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 when creating new tables
at this point your MySQL client and server should be in UTF-8 (see my.cnf). remember any languages you use (such as PHP) must be UTF-8 as well. Some versions of PHP will use their own MySQL client library, which may not be UTF-8 aware.

If you do want to migrate existing data remember to backup first! Lots of weird choping of data can happen when things don't go as planned!

Some resources:

complete UTF-8 migration (cdbaby.com)
article on UTF-8 readiness of php functions (note some of this information is outdated)

How to output (to a log) a multi-level array in a format that is human-readable?

http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php This function can be used to format output,

$output = print_r($array,1);

$output is a string variable, it can be logged like every other string. In pure php you can use trigger_error

Ex. trigger_error($output);

http://php.net/manual/en/function.trigger-error.php

if you need to format it also in html, you can use <pre> tag

Default value to a parameter while passing by reference in C++

This little template will help you:

template<typename T> class ByRef {
public:
    ByRef() {
    }

    ByRef(const T value) : mValue(value) {
    }

    operator T&() const {
        return((T&)mValue);
    }

private:
    T mValue;
};

Then you'll be able to:

virtual const ULONG Write(ULONG &State = ByRef<ULONG>(0), bool sequence = true);

Does a favicon have to be 32x32 or 16x16?

The favicon doesn't have to be 16x16 or 32x32. You can create a favicon that is 80x80 or 100x100, just make sure that both values are the same size, and obviously don't make it too large or too small, choose a reasonable size.

Angular: How to update queryParams without changing route

In Angular 5 you can easily obtain and modify a copy of the urlTree by parsing the current url. This will include query params and fragments.

  let urlTree = this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url);
  urlTree.queryParams['newParamKey'] = 'newValue';

  this.router.navigateByUrl(urlTree);

The "correct way" to modify a query parameter is probably with the createUrlTree like below which creates a new UrlTree from the current while letting us modify it using NavigationExtras.

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private router: Router) { }

appendAQueryParam() {

  const urlTree = this.router.createUrlTree([], {
    queryParams: { newParamKey: 'newValue' },
    queryParamsHandling: "merge",
    preserveFragment: true });

  this.router.navigateByUrl(urlTree); 
}

In order to remove a query parameter this way you can set it to undefined or null.

Is there any way to start with a POST request using Selenium?

Well, i agree with the @Mishkin Berteig - Agile Coach answer. Using the form is the quick way to use the POST features.

Anyway, i see some mention about javascript, but no code. I have that for my own needs, which includes jquery for easy POST plus others.

Basically, using the driver.execute_script() you can send any javascript, including Ajax queries.

#/usr/local/env/python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
# proxy is used to inspect data involved on the request without so much code.
# using a basic http written in python. u can found it there: http://voorloopnul.com/blog/a-python-proxy-in-less-than-100-lines-of-code/

import selenium

jquery = open("jquery.min.js", "r").read()

proxy.socks_proxy = "127.0.0.1:3128"
proxy.ssl_proxy = "127.0.0.1:3128"

capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS
proxy.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(desired_capabilities=capabilities)

driver.get("http://httpbin.org")
driver.execute_script(jquery) # ensure we have jquery

ajax_query = '''
            $.post( "post", {
                "a" : "%s",
                "b" : "%s"
            });
            ''' % (1,2)

ajax_query = ajax_query.replace(" ", "").replace("\n", "")
print ajax_query

result = driver.execute_script("return " + ajax_query)
#print result

#print driver.page_source

driver.close()

# this retuns that from the proxy, and is OK
