Programs & Examples On #Git add

git-add - Add file contents to the index

Difference between "git add -A" and "git add ."

Git Version 1.x

Command New Files Modified Files Deleted Files Description
git add -A ?? ?? ?? Stage all (new, modified, deleted) files
git add . ?? ?? ? Stage new and modified files only in current folder
git add -u ? ?? ?? Stage modified and deleted files only

Git Version 2.x

Command New Files Modified Files Deleted Files Description
git add -A ?? ?? ?? Stage all (new, modified, deleted) files
git add . ?? ?? ?? Stage all (new, modified, deleted) files in current folder
git add --ignore-removal . ?? ?? ? Stage new and modified files only
git add -u ? ?? ?? Stage modified and deleted files only

Long-form flags:

  • git add -A is equivalent to git add --all
  • git add -u is equivalent to git add --update

Staging Deleted files

To stage all manually deleted files you can use:

git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)

To add an alias to this command as git rm-deleted, run:

git config --global alias.rm-deleted '!git rm $(git ls-files --deleted)'

How can I add an empty directory to a Git repository?

You could always put a README file in the directory with an explanation of why you want this, otherwise empty, directory in the repository.

Removing multiple files from a Git repo that have already been deleted from disk

As mentioned

git add -u

stages the removed files for deletion, BUT ALSO modified files for update.

To unstage the modified files you can do

git reset HEAD <path>

if you like to keep your commits organized and clean.
NOTE: This could also unstage the deleted files, so careful with those wildcards.

Fix GitLab error: "you are not allowed to push code to protected branches on this project"?

I experienced the same problem on my repository. I'm the master of the repository, but I had such an error.

I've unprotected my project and then re-protected again, and the error is gone.

We had upgraded the gitlab version between my previous push and the problematic one. I suppose that this upgrade has created the bug.

Git add all files modified, deleted, and untracked?

Try

git add -u

The "u" option stands for update. This will update the repo and actually delete files from the repo that you have deleted in your local copy.

git add -u [filename]

to stage a delete to just one file. Once pushed, the file will no longer be in the repo.

Alternatively,

git add -A .

is equivalent to

git add .

git add -u .

Note the extra '.' on git add -A and git add -u


Warning: Starting with git 2.0 (mid 2013), this will always stage files on the whole working tree.
If you want to stage files under the current path of your working tree, you need to use:

git add -A .

Also see: Difference of git add -A and git add .

Add all files to a commit except a single file?

For the specific case in the question, easiest way would be to add all files with .c extension and leave out everything else:

git add *.c

From git-scm (or/and man git add):

git add <pathspec>…?

Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. *.c) can be given to add all matching files. <...>

Note that this means that you could also do something like:

git add **/main/*

to add all files (that are not ignored) that are in the main folder. You can even go wild with more elaborate patterns:

git add **/s?c/*Service*

The above will add all files that are in s(any char)c folder and have Service somewhere in their filename.

Obviously, you are not limited to one pattern per command. That is, you could ask git to add all files that have an extension of .c and .h:

git add *.c *.h

This link might give you some more glob pattern ideas.

I find it particularly useful when I'm making many changes, but still want my commits to stay atomic and reflect gradual process rather than a hodgepodge of changes I may be working at the time. Of course, at some point the cost of coming up with elaborate patterns outweighs the cost of adding files with simpler methods, or even one file at a time. However, most of the time I'm easily able to pinpoint just the files I need with a simple pattern, and exclude everything else.

By the way, you may need to quote your glob patterns for them to work, but this was never the case for me.

Git add all subdirectories

I saw this problem before, when the (sub)folder I was trying to add had its name begin with "_Something_"

I removed the underscores and it worked. Check to see if your folder has characters which may be causing problems.

Adding Only Untracked Files

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I've found this quite helpful:

git add -AN

Will add all files to the index, but without their content. Files that were untracked now behave as if they were tracked. Their content will be displayed in git diff, and you can add then interactively with git add -p.

Keras model.summary() result - Understanding the # of Parameters

The easiest way to calculate number of neurons in one layer is: Param value / (number of units * 4)

  • Number of units is in predictivemodel.add(Dense(514,...)
  • Param value is Param in model.summary() function

For example in Paul Lo's answer , number of neurons in one layer is 264710 / (514 * 4 ) = 130

How to convert CLOB to VARCHAR2 inside oracle pl/sql

Quote (read [here][1])-

When you use CAST to convert a CLOB value into a character datatype or a BLOB value into the RAW datatype, the database implicitly converts the LOB value to character or raw data and then explicitly casts the resulting value into the target datatype.

So, something like this should work-

report := CAST(report_clob AS VARCHAR2(100));

Or better yet use it as CAST(report_clob AS VARCHAR2(100)) where ever you are trying to use the BLOB as VARCHAR [1]: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions016.htm

C++ vector of char array

You cannot store arrays in vectors (or in any other standard library container). The things that standard library containers store must be copyable and assignable, and arrays are neither of these.

If you really need to put an array in a vector (and you probably don't - using a vector of vectors or a vector of strings is more likely what you need), then you can wrap the array in a struct:

struct S {
  char a[10];
};

and then create a vector of structs:

vector <S> v;
S s;
s.a[0] = 'x';
v.push_back( s );

How do operator.itemgetter() and sort() work?

#sorting first by age then profession,you can change it in function "fun".
a = []

def fun(v):
    return (v[1],v[2])

# create the table (name, age, job)
a.append(["Nick", 30, "Doctor"])
a.append(["John",  8, "Student"])
a.append(["Paul",  8,"Car Dealer"])
a.append(["Mark", 66, "Retired"])

a.sort(key=fun)

Update Item to Revision vs Revert to Revision

Update to revision will only update files of your workingcopy to your choosen revision. But you cannot continue to work on this revision, as SVN will complain that your workingcopy is out of date.

revert to this revision will undo all changes in your working copy which were made after the selected revision (in your example rev. 96,97,98,99,100) Your working copy is now in modified state.

The file content of both scenarions is same, however in first case you have an unmodified working copy and you cannot commit your changes(as your workingcopy is not pointing to HEAD rev 100) in second case you have a modified working copy pointing to head and you can continue to work and commit

Python: "Indentation Error: unindent does not match any outer indentation level"

Sorry I can't add comments as my reputation is not high enough :-/, so this will have to be an answer.

As several have commented, the code you have posted contains several (5) syntax errors (twice = instead of == and three ':' missing).

Once the syntax errors corrected I do not have any issue, be it indentation or else; of course it's impossible to see if you have mixed tabs and spaces as somebody else has suggested, which is likely your problem.

But the real point I wanted to underline is that: tabnanny IS NOT REALIABLE: you might be getting an 'indentation' error when it's actually just a syntax error.

Eg. I got it when I had added one closed parenthesis more than necessary ;-)

i += [func(a, b, [c] if True else None))]

would provoke a warning from tabnanny for the next line.

Hope this helps!

Enable tcp\ip remote connections to sql server express already installed database with code or script(query)

I recommend to use SMO (Enable TCP/IP Network Protocol for SQL Server). However, it was not available in my case.

I rewrote the WMI commands from Krzysztof Kozielczyk to PowerShell.

# Enable TCP/IP

Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/SqlServer/ComputerManagement10 -ClassName ServerNetworkProtocol -Filter "InstanceName = 'SQLEXPRESS' and ProtocolName = 'Tcp'" |
Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetEnable

# Open the right ports in the firewall
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 1433

# Modify TCP/IP properties to enable an IP address

$properties = Get-CimInstance -Namespace root/Microsoft/SqlServer/ComputerManagement10 -ClassName ServerNetworkProtocolProperty -Filter "InstanceName='SQLEXPRESS' and ProtocolName = 'Tcp' and IPAddressName='IPAll'"
$properties | ? { $_.PropertyName -eq 'TcpPort' } | Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetStringValue -Arguments @{ StrValue = '1433' }
$properties | ? { $_.PropertyName -eq 'TcpPortDynamic' } | Invoke-CimMethod -Name SetStringValue -Arguments @{ StrValue = '' }

# Restart SQL Server

What range of values can integer types store in C++

Other folks here will post links to data_sizes and precisions etc.
I'm going to tell you how to figure it out yourself.
Write a small app that will do the following.

unsigned int ui;
std::cout <<  sizeof(ui));

this will (depending on compiler and archicture) print 2, 4 or 8, saying 2 bytes long, 4 bytes long etc.

Lets assume it's 4.

You now want the maximum value 4 bytes can store, the max value for one byte is (in hex)0xFF. The max value of four bytes is 0x followed by 8 f's (one pair of f's for each byte, the 0x tells the compiler that the following string is a hex number). Now change your program to assign that value and print the result

unsigned int ui = 0xFFFFFFFF;
std::cout <<  ui;

Thats the max value an unsigned int can hold, shown in base 10 representation.

Now do that for long's, shorts and any other INTEGER value you're curious about.

NB: This approach will not work for floating point numbers (i.e. double or float).

Hope this helps

Animate element transform rotate

In my opinion, jQuery's animate is a bit overused, compared to the CSS3 transition, which performs such animation on any 2D or 3D property. Also I'm afraid, that leaving it to the browser and by forgetting the layer called JavaScript could lead to spare CPU juice - specially, when you wish to blast with the animations. Thus, I like to have animations where the style definitions are, since you define functionality with JavaScript. The more presentation you inject into JavaScript, the more problems you'll face later on.

All you have to do is to use addClass to the element you wish to animate, where you set a class that has CSS transition properties. You just "activate" the animation, which stays implemented on the pure presentation layer.

.js

// with jQuery
$("#element").addClass("Animate");

// without jQuery library
document.getElementById("element").className += "Animate";

One could easly remove a class with jQuery, or remove a class without library.

.css

#element{
    color      : white;
}

#element.Animate{
    transition        : .4s linear;
    color             : red;
    /** 
     * Not that ugly as the JavaScript approach.
     * Easy to maintain, the most portable solution.
     */
    -webkit-transform : rotate(90deg);
}

.html

<span id="element">
    Text
</span>

This is a fast and convenient solution for most use cases.

I also use this when I want to implement a different styling (alternative CSS properties), and wish to change the style on-the-fly with a global .5s animation. I add a new class to the BODY, while having alternative CSS in a form like this:

.js

$("BODY").addClass("Alternative");

.css

BODY.Alternative #element{
    color      : blue;
    transition : .5s linear;
}

This way you can apply different styling with animations, without loading different CSS files. You only involve JavaScript to set a class.

How to get maximum value from the Collection (for example ArrayList)?

Here are three more ways to find the maximum value in a list, using streams:

List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(-1, 2, 1, 7, 3);
Optional<Integer> max1 = nums.stream().reduce(Integer::max);
Optional<Integer> max2 = nums.stream().max(Comparator.naturalOrder());
OptionalInt max3 = nums.stream().mapToInt(p->p).max();
System.out.println("max1: " + max1.get() + ", max2: " 
   + max2.get() + ", max3: " + max3.getAsInt());

All of these methods, just like Collections.max, iterate over the entire collection, hence they require time proportional to the size of the collection.

What is the "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests" HTTP header?

This explains the whole thing:

The HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) upgrade-insecure-requests directive instructs user agents to treat all of a site's insecure URLs (those served over HTTP) as though they have been replaced with secure URLs (those served over HTTPS). This directive is intended for web sites with large numbers of insecure legacy URLs that need to be rewritten.

The upgrade-insecure-requests directive is evaluated before block-all-mixed-content and if it is set, the latter is effectively a no-op. It is recommended to set one directive or the other, but not both.

The upgrade-insecure-requests directive will not ensure that users visiting your site via links on third-party sites will be upgraded to HTTPS for the top-level navigation and thus does not replace the Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header, which should still be set with an appropriate max-age to ensure that users are not subject to SSL stripping attacks.

Java synchronized method lock on object, or method?

In java synchronization,if a thread want to enter into synchronization method it will acquire lock on all synchronized methods of that object not just on one synchronized method that thread is using. So a thread executing addA() will acquire lock on addA() and addB() as both are synchronized.So other threads with same object cannot execute addB().

SQL query to select distinct row with minimum value

This will work

select * from table 
where (id,point) IN (select id,min(point) from table group by id);

Purpose of Unions in C and C++

Technically it's undefined, but in reality most (all?) compilers treat it exactly the same as using a reinterpret_cast from one type to the other, the result of which is implementation defined. I wouldn't lose sleep over your current code.

How correctly produce JSON by RESTful web service?

@GET
@Path("/friends")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String getFriends() {

    // here you can return any bean also it will automatically convert into json 
    return "{'friends': ['Michael', 'Tom', 'Daniel', 'John', 'Nick']}";
}

Can I hide/show asp:Menu items based on role?

You just have to remove the parent menu in the page init event.

    Protected Sub navMenu_Init(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles navMenu.Init
    'Remove the admin menu for the norms
    Dim cUser As Boolean = HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Admin")

    'If user is not in the Admin role removes the 1st menu at index 0
    If cUser = False Then
        navMenu.Items.RemoveAt(0)
    End If
End Sub

Convert stdClass object to array in PHP

Try this:

$new_array = objectToArray($yourObject);

function objectToArray($d) 
{
    if (is_object($d)) {
        // Gets the properties of the given object
        // with get_object_vars function
        $d = get_object_vars($d);
    }

    if (is_array($d)) {
        /*
        * Return array converted to object
        * Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
        * for recursive call
        */
        return array_map(__FUNCTION__, $d);
    } else {
        // Return array
        return $d;
    }
}

SQL error "ORA-01722: invalid number"

This is because:

You executed an SQL statement that tried to convert a string to a number, but it was unsuccessful.

As explained in:

To resolve this error:

Only numeric fields or character fields that contain numeric values can be used in arithmetic operations. Make sure that all expressions evaluate to numbers.

REST API Best practice: How to accept list of parameter values as input

A Step Back

First and foremost, REST describes a URI as a universally unique ID. Far too many people get caught up on the structure of URIs and which URIs are more "restful" than others. This argument is as ludicrous as saying naming someone "Bob" is better than naming him "Joe" – both names get the job of "identifying a person" done. A URI is nothing more than a universally unique name.

So in REST's eyes arguing about whether ?id=["101404","7267261"] is more restful than ?id=101404,7267261 or \Product\101404,7267261 is somewhat futile.

Now, having said that, many times how URIs are constructed can usually serve as a good indicator for other issues in a RESTful service. There are a couple of red flags in your URIs and question in general.

Suggestions

  1. Multiple URIs for the same resource and Content-Location

    We may want to accept both styles but does that flexibility actually cause more confusion and head aches (maintainability, documentation, etc.)?

    URIs identify resources. Each resource should have one canonical URI. This does not mean that you can't have two URIs point to the same resource but there are well defined ways to go about doing it. If you do decide to use both the JSON and list based formats (or any other format) you need to decide which of these formats is the main canonical URI. All responses to other URIs that point to the same "resource" should include the Content-Location header.

    Sticking with the name analogy, having multiple URIs is like having nicknames for people. It is perfectly acceptable and often times quite handy, however if I'm using a nickname I still probably want to know their full name – the "official" way to refer to that person. This way when someone mentions someone by their full name, "Nichloas Telsa", I know they are talking about the same person I refer to as "Nick".

  2. "Search" in your URI

    A more complex case is when we want to offer more complex inputs. For example, if we want to allow multiple filters on search...

    A general rule of thumb of mine is, if your URI contains a verb, it may be an indication that something is off. URI's identify a resource, however they should not indicate what we're doing to that resource. That's the job of HTTP or in restful terms, our "uniform interface".

    To beat the name analogy dead, using a verb in a URI is like changing someone's name when you want to interact with them. If I'm interacting with Bob, Bob's name doesn't become "BobHi" when I want to say Hi to him. Similarly, when we want to "search" Products, our URI structure shouldn't change from "/Product/..." to "/Search/...".

Answering Your Initial Question

  1. Regarding ["101404","7267261"] vs 101404,7267261: My suggestion here is to avoid the JSON syntax for simplicity's sake (i.e. don't require your users do URL encoding when you don't really have to). It will make your API a tad more usable. Better yet, as others have recommended, go with the standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format as it will probably be most familiar to your end users (e.g. ?id[]=101404&id[]=7267261). It may not be "pretty", but Pretty URIs does not necessary mean Usable URIs. However, to reiterate my initial point though, ultimately when speaking about REST, it doesn't matter. Don't dwell too heavily on it.

  2. Your complex search URI example can be solved in very much the same way as your product example. I would recommend going the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format again as it is already a standard that many are familiar with. Also, I would recommend merging the two.

Your URI...

/Search?term=pumas&filters={"productType":["Clothing","Bags"],"color":["Black","Red"]}    

Your URI after being URI encoded...

/Search?term=pumas&filters=%7B%22productType%22%3A%5B%22Clothing%22%2C%22Bags%22%5D%2C%22color%22%3A%5B%22Black%22%2C%22Red%22%5D%7D

Can be transformed to...

/Product?term=pumas&productType[]=Clothing&productType[]=Bags&color[]=Black&color[]=Red

Aside from avoiding the requirement of URL encoding and making things look a bit more standard, it now homogenizes the API a bit. The user knows that if they want to retrieve a Product or List of Products (both are considered a single "resource" in RESTful terms), they are interested in /Product/... URIs.

TypeError: module.__init__() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

Even after @Mickey Perlstein's answer and his 3 hours of detective work, it still took me a few more minutes to apply this to my own mess. In case anyone else is like me and needs a little more help, here's what was going on in my situation.

  • responses is a module
  • Response is a base class within the responses module
  • GeoJsonResponse is a new class derived from Response

Initial GeoJsonResponse class:

from pyexample.responses import Response

class GeoJsonResponse(Response):

    def __init__(self, geo_json_data):

Looks fine. No problems until you try to debug the thing, which is when you get a bunch of seemingly vague error messages like this:

from pyexample.responses import GeoJsonResponse ..\pyexample\responses\GeoJsonResponse.py:12: in (module) class GeoJsonResponse(Response):

E TypeError: module() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

=================================== ERRORS ====================================

The errors were doing their best to point me in the right direction, and @Mickey Perlstein's answer was dead on, it just took me a minute to put it all together in my own context:

I was importing the module:

from pyexample.responses import Response

when I should have been importing the class:

from pyexample.responses.Response import Response

Hope this helps someone. (In my defense, it's still pretty early.)

How can I get CMake to find my alternative Boost installation?

I spent most of my evening trying to get this working. I tried all of the -DBOOST_* &c. directives with CMake, but it kept linking to my system Boost libraries, even after clearing and re-configuring my build area repeatedly.

At the end I modified the generated Makefile and voided the cmake_check_build_system target to do nothing (like 'echo ""') so that it wouldn't overwrite my changes when I ran make, and then did 'grep -rl "lboost_python" * | xargs sed -i "s:-lboost_python:-L/opt/sw/gcc5/usr/lib/ -lboost_python:g' in my build/ directory to explicitly point all the build commands to the Boost installation I wanted to use. Finally, that worked.

I acknowledge that it is an ugly kludge, but I am just putting it out here for the benefit of those who come up against the same brick wall, and just want to work around it and get work done.

Installing NumPy and SciPy on 64-bit Windows (with Pip)

Package version are very important.

I found some stable combination that works on my Windows10 64 bit machine:

pip install numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install matplotlib-2.0.0-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl

Find maximum value of a column and return the corresponding row values using Pandas

The country and place is the index of the series, if you don't need the index, you can set as_index=False:

df.groupby(['country','place'], as_index=False)['value'].max()

Edit:

It seems that you want the place with max value for every country, following code will do what you want:

df.groupby("country").apply(lambda df:df.irow(df.value.argmax()))

How do I print debug messages in the Google Chrome JavaScript Console?

Improving further on ideas of Delan and Andru (which is why this answer is an edited version); console.log is likely to exist whilst the other functions may not, so have the default map to the same function as console.log....

You can write a script which creates console functions if they don't exist:

if (!window.console) console = {};
console.log = console.log || function(){};
console.warn = console.warn || console.log;  // defaults to log
console.error = console.error || console.log; // defaults to log
console.info = console.info || console.log; // defaults to log

Then, use any of the following:

console.log(...);
console.error(...);
console.info(...);
console.warn(...);

These functions will log different types of items (which can be filtered based on log, info, error or warn) and will not cause errors when console is not available. These functions will work in Firebug and Chrome consoles.

How disable / remove android activity label and label bar?

You have two ways to hide the title bar by hiding it in a specific activity or hiding it on all of the activity in your app.

You can achieve this by create a custom theme in your styles.xml.

<resources>
    <style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>
</resources>

If you are using AppCompatActivity, there is a bunch of themes that android provides nowadays. And if you choose a theme that has .NoActionBaror .NoTitleBar. It will disable you action bar for your theme.

After setting up a custom theme, you might want to use the theme in you activity/activities. Go to manifest and choose the activity that you want to set the theme on.

SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name">

    <activity android:name=".FirstActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/MyTheme">
    </activity>
</application>

Notice that I have set the FirstActivity theme to the custom theme MyTheme. This way the theme will only be affected on certain activity. If you don't want to hide toolbar for all your activity then try this approach.

The second approach is where you set the theme to all of your activity.

ALL ACTIVITY

<application
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme">

    <activity android:name=".FirstActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>
</application>

Notice that I have set the application theme to the custom theme MyTheme. This way the theme will only be affected on all of activity. If you want to hide toolbar for all your activity then try this approach instead.

Underline text in UIlabel

Here's another, simpler solution (underline's width is not most accurate but it was good enough for me)

I have a UIView (_view_underline) that has White background, height of 1 pixel and I update its width everytime I update the text

// It's a shame you have to do custom stuff to underline text
- (void) underline  {
    float width = [[_txt_title text] length] * 10.0f;
    CGRect prev_frame = [_view_underline frame];
    prev_frame.size.width = width;
    [_view_underline setFrame:prev_frame];
}

Check if enum exists in Java

Since Java 8, we could use streams instead of for loops. Also, it might be apropriate to return an Optional if the enum does not have an instance with such a name.

I have come up with the following three alternatives on how to look up an enum:

private enum Test {
    TEST1, TEST2;

    public Test fromNameOrThrowException(String name) {
        return Arrays.stream(values())
                .filter(e -> e.name().equals(name))
                .findFirst()
                .orElseThrow(() -> new IllegalArgumentException("No enum with name " + name));
    }

    public Test fromNameOrNull(String name) {
        return Arrays.stream(values()).filter(e -> e.name().equals(name)).findFirst().orElse(null);

How to determine if a point is in a 2D triangle?

Here is an efficient Python implementation:

def PointInsideTriangle2(pt,tri):
    '''checks if point pt(2) is inside triangle tri(3x2). @Developer'''
    a = 1/(-tri[1,1]*tri[2,0]+tri[0,1]*(-tri[1,0]+tri[2,0])+ \
        tri[0,0]*(tri[1,1]-tri[2,1])+tri[1,0]*tri[2,1])
    s = a*(tri[2,0]*tri[0,1]-tri[0,0]*tri[2,1]+(tri[2,1]-tri[0,1])*pt[0]+ \
        (tri[0,0]-tri[2,0])*pt[1])
    if s<0: return False
    else: t = a*(tri[0,0]*tri[1,1]-tri[1,0]*tri[0,1]+(tri[0,1]-tri[1,1])*pt[0]+ \
              (tri[1,0]-tri[0,0])*pt[1])
    return ((t>0) and (1-s-t>0))

and an example output:

Max length for client ip address

For IPv4, you could get away with storing the 4 raw bytes of the IP address (each of the numbers between the periods in an IP address are 0-255, i.e., one byte). But then you would have to translate going in and out of the DB and that's messy.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits (as opposed to 32 bits of IPv4 addresses). They are usually written as 8 groups of 4 hex digits separated by colons: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. 39 characters is appropriate to store IPv6 addresses in this format.

Edit: However, there is a caveat, see @Deepak's answer for details about IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. (The correct maximum IPv6 string length is 45 characters.)

How to use a global array in C#?

Your class shoud look something like this:

class Something {     int[] array; //global array, replace type of course     void function1() {        array = new int[10]; //let say you declare it here that will be 10 integers in size     }     void function2() {        array[0] = 12; //assing value at index 0 to 12.     } } 

That way you array will be accessible in both functions. However, you must be careful with global stuff, as you can quickly overwrite something.

How to enable Bootstrap tooltip on disabled button?

You can imitate the effect using CSS3.

Simply take the disabled state off the button and the tooltip doesn't appear anymore.. this is great for validation as the code requires less logic.

I wrote this pen to illustrate.

CSS3 Disabled Tooltips

[disabled] {
  &[disabled-tooltip] {
    cursor:not-allowed;
    position: relative;
    &:hover {
      &:before {
        content:'';
        border:5px solid transparent;
        border-top:5px solid black;
        position: absolute;
        left: 50%;
        transform: translate(-50%, calc(-100% + -5px));
      }
      &:after {
        content: attr(disabled-tooltip);
        position: absolute;
        left: 50%;
        transform: translate(-50%, calc(-100% + -15px));
        width:280px;
        background-color:black;
        color:white;
        border-radius:5px;
        padding:8px 12px;
        white-space:normal;
        line-height:1;
      }
    }
  }
}

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" disabled-tooltip="I am a disabled tooltip using CSS3.. You can not click this button." disabled>Primary Button</button>

Can't ping a local VM from the host

try to drop the firewall on your laptop and see if there is difference. Maybe Your laptop is firewall blocking some broadcasts that prevents local network name resolution.

How do I check the difference, in seconds, between two dates?

Here's the one that is working for me.

from datetime import datetime

date_format = "%H:%M:%S"

# You could also pass datetime.time object in this part and convert it to string.
time_start = str('09:00:00') 
time_end = str('18:00:00')

# Then get the difference here.    
diff = datetime.strptime(time_end, date_format) - datetime.strptime(time_start, date_format)

# Get the time in hours i.e. 9.60, 8.5
result = diff.seconds / 3600;

Hope this helps!

How to Convert Datetime to Date in dd/MM/yyyy format

You need to use convert in order by as well:

SELECT  Convert(varchar,A.InsertDate,103) as Tran_Date
order by Convert(varchar,A.InsertDate,103)

React - How to force a function component to render?

You can now, using React hooks

Using react hooks, you can now call useState() in your function component.

useState() will return an array of 2 things:

  1. A value, representing the current state.
  2. Its setter. Use it to update the value.

Updating the value by its setter will force your function component to re-render,
just like forceUpdate does:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

//create your forceUpdate hook
function useForceUpdate(){
    const [value, setValue] = useState(0); // integer state
    return () => setValue(value => value + 1); // update the state to force render
}

function MyComponent() {
    // call your hook here
    const forceUpdate = useForceUpdate();
    
    return (
        <div>
            {/*Clicking on the button will force to re-render like force update does */}
            <button onClick={forceUpdate}>
                Click to re-render
            </button>
        </div>
    );
}

You can find a demo here.

The component above uses a custom hook function (useForceUpdate) which uses the react state hook useState. It increments the component's state's value and thus tells React to re-render the component.

EDIT

In an old version of this answer, the snippet used a boolean value, and toggled it in forceUpdate(). Now that I've edited my answer, the snippet use a number rather than a boolean.

Why ? (you would ask me)

Because once it happened to me that my forceUpdate() was called twice subsequently from 2 different events, and thus it was reseting the boolean value at its original state, and the component never rendered.

This is because in the useState's setter (setValue here), React compare the previous state with the new one, and render only if the state is different.

How to redirect output of an already running process

See Redirecting Output from a Running Process.

Firstly I run the command cat > foo1 in one session and test that data from stdin is copied to the file. Then in another session I redirect the output.

Firstly find the PID of the process:

$ ps aux | grep cat
rjc 6760 0.0 0.0 1580 376 pts/5 S+ 15:31 0:00 cat

Now check the file handles it has open:

$ ls -l /proc/6760/fd
total 3
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 0 -> /dev/pts/5
l-wx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 1 -> /tmp/foo1
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 Feb 27 15:32 2 -> /dev/pts/5

Now run GDB:

$ gdb -p 6760 /bin/cat
GNU gdb 6.4.90-debian

[license stuff snipped]

Attaching to program: /bin/cat, process 6760

[snip other stuff that's not interesting now]

(gdb) p close(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p creat("/tmp/foo3", 0600)
$2 = 1
(gdb) q
The program is running. Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) y
Detaching from program: /bin/cat, process 6760

The p command in GDB will print the value of an expression, an expression can be a function to call, it can be a system call… So I execute a close() system call and pass file handle 1, then I execute a creat() system call to open a new file. The result of the creat() was 1 which means that it replaced the previous file handle. If I wanted to use the same file for stdout and stderr or if I wanted to replace a file handle with some other number then I would need to call the dup2() system call to achieve that result.

For this example I chose to use creat() instead of open() because there are fewer parameter. The C macros for the flags are not usable from GDB (it doesn’t use C headers) so I would have to read header files to discover this – it’s not that hard to do so but would take more time. Note that 0600 is the octal permission for the owner having read/write access and the group and others having no access. It would also work to use 0 for that parameter and run chmod on the file later on.

After that I verify the result:

ls -l /proc/6760/fd/
total 3
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 0 -> /dev/pts/5
l-wx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 1 -> /tmp/foo3 <====
lrwx—— 1 rjc rjc 64 2008-02-27 15:32 2 -> /dev/pts/5

Typing more data in to cat results in the file /tmp/foo3 being appended to.

If you want to close the original session you need to close all file handles for it, open a new device that can be the controlling tty, and then call setsid().

Git diff --name-only and copy that list

No-one has mentioned cpio which is easy to type, creates hard links and handles spaces in filenames:

git diff --name-only $from..$to  | cpio -pld outdir

Why are interface variables static and final by default?

public: for the accessibility across all the classes, just like the methods present in the interface

static: as interface cannot have an object, the interfaceName.variableName can be used to reference it or directly the variableName in the class implementing it.

final: to make them constants. If 2 classes implement the same interface and you give both of them the right to change the value, conflict will occur in the current value of the var, which is why only one time initialization is permitted.

Also all these modifiers are implicit for an interface, you dont really need to specify any of them.

How to delete a file or folder?

Python syntax to delete a file

import os
os.remove("/tmp/<file_name>.txt")

Or

import os
os.unlink("/tmp/<file_name>.txt")

Or

pathlib Library for Python version >= 3.4

file_to_rem = pathlib.Path("/tmp/<file_name>.txt")
file_to_rem.unlink()

Path.unlink(missing_ok=False)

Unlink method used to remove the file or the symbolik link.

If missing_ok is false (the default), FileNotFoundError is raised if the path does not exist.
If missing_ok is true, FileNotFoundError exceptions will be ignored (same behavior as the POSIX rm -f command).
Changed in version 3.8: The missing_ok parameter was added.

Best practice

  1. First, check whether the file or folder exists or not then only delete that file. This can be achieved in two ways :
    a. os.path.isfile("/path/to/file")
    b. Use exception handling.

EXAMPLE for os.path.isfile

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
myfile="/tmp/foo.txt"

## If file exists, delete it ##
if os.path.isfile(myfile):
    os.remove(myfile)
else:    ## Show an error ##
    print("Error: %s file not found" % myfile)

Exception Handling

#!/usr/bin/python
import os

## Get input ##
myfile= raw_input("Enter file name to delete: ")

## Try to delete the file ##
try:
    os.remove(myfile)
except OSError as e:  ## if failed, report it back to the user ##
    print ("Error: %s - %s." % (e.filename, e.strerror))

RESPECTIVE OUTPUT

Enter file name to delete : demo.txt
Error: demo.txt - No such file or directory.

Enter file name to delete : rrr.txt
Error: rrr.txt - Operation not permitted.

Enter file name to delete : foo.txt

Python syntax to delete a folder

shutil.rmtree()

Example for shutil.rmtree()

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import sys
import shutil

# Get directory name
mydir= raw_input("Enter directory name: ")

## Try to remove tree; if failed show an error using try...except on screen
try:
    shutil.rmtree(mydir)
except OSError as e:
    print ("Error: %s - %s." % (e.filename, e.strerror))

Effect of using sys.path.insert(0, path) and sys.path(append) when loading modules

I'm quite a beginner in Python and I found the answer of Anand was very good but quite complicated to me, so I try to reformulate :

1) insert and append methods are not specific to sys.path and as in other languages they add an item into a list or array and :
* append(item) add item to the end of the list,
* insert(n, item) inserts the item at the nth position in the list (0 at the beginning, 1 after the first element, etc ...).

2) As Anand said, python search the import files in each directory of the path in the order of the path, so :
* If you have no file name collisions, the order of the path has no impact,
* If you look after a function already defined in the path and you use append to add your path, you will not get your function but the predefined one.

But I think that it is better to use append and not insert to not overload the standard behaviour of Python, and use non-ambiguous names for your files and methods.

What is the best way to search the Long datatype within an Oracle database?

Don't use LONGs, use CLOB instead. You can index and search CLOBs like VARCHAR2.

Additionally, querying with a leading wildcard(%) will ALWAYS result in a full-table-scan. Look into Oracle Text indexes instead.

Draw text in OpenGL ES

For static text:

  • Generate an image with all words used on your PC (For example with GIMP).
  • Load this as a texture and use it as material for a plane.

For long text that needs to be updated once in a while:

  • Let android draw on a bitmap canvas (JVitela's solution).
  • Load this as material for a plane.
  • Use different texture coordinates for each word.

For a number (formatted 00.0):

  • Generate an image with all numbers and a dot.
  • Load this as material for a plane.
  • Use below shader.
  • In your onDraw event only update the value variable sent to the shader.

Select a Dictionary<T1, T2> with LINQ

var dictionary = (from x in y 
                  select new SomeClass
                  {
                      prop1 = value1,
                      prop2 = value2
                  }
                  ).ToDictionary(item => item.prop1);

That's assuming that SomeClass.prop1 is the desired Key for the dictionary.

Convert HTML to NSAttributedString in iOS

Swift initializer extension on NSAttributedString

My inclination was to add this as an extension to NSAttributedString rather than String. I tried it as a static extension and an initializer. I prefer the initializer which is what I've included below.

Swift 4

internal convenience init?(html: String) {
    guard let data = html.data(using: String.Encoding.utf16, allowLossyConversion: false) else {
        return nil
    }

    guard let attributedString = try?  NSAttributedString(data: data, options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html, .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue], documentAttributes: nil) else {
        return nil
    }

    self.init(attributedString: attributedString)
}

Swift 3

extension NSAttributedString {

internal convenience init?(html: String) {
    guard let data = html.data(using: String.Encoding.utf16, allowLossyConversion: false) else {
        return nil
    }

    guard let attributedString = try? NSMutableAttributedString(data: data, options: [NSAttributedString.DocumentReadingOptionKey.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html], documentAttributes: nil) else {
        return nil
    }

    self.init(attributedString: attributedString)
}
}

Example

let html = "<b>Hello World!</b>"
let attributedString = NSAttributedString(html: html)

How to properly seed random number generator

@[Denys Séguret] has posted correct. But In my case I need new seed everytime hence below code;

Incase you need quick functions. I use like this.


func RandInt(min, max int) int {
    r := rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano()))
    return r.Intn(max-min) + min
}

func RandFloat(min, max float64) float64 {
    r := rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano()))
    return min + r.Float64()*(max-min)
}

Git vs Team Foundation Server

Original: @Rob, TFS has something called "Shelving" that addresses your concern about commiting work-in-progress without it affecting the official build. I realize you see central version control as a hindrance, but with respect to TFS, checking your code into the shelf can be viewed as a strength b/c then the central server has a copy of your work-in-progress in the rare event your local machine crashes or is lost/stolen or you need to switch gears quickly. My point is that TFS should be given proper praise in this area. Also, branching and merging in TFS2010 has been improved from prior versions, and it isn't clear what version you are referring to when you say "... from experience that branching and merging in TFS is not good." Disclaimer: I'm a moderate user of TFS2010.

Edit Dec-5-2011: To the OP, one thing that bothers me about TFS is that it insists on setting all your local files to "read-only" when you're not working on them. If you want to make a change, the flow is that you must "check-out" the file, which just clears the readonly attribute on the file so that TFS knows to keep an eye on it. That's an inconvenient workflow. The way I would prefer it to work is that is just automatically detects if I've made a change and doesn't worry/bother with the file attributes at all. That way, I can modify the file either in Visual Studio, or Notepad, or with whatever tool I please. The version control system should be as transparent as possible in this regard. There is a Windows Explorer Extension (TFS PowerTools) that allows you to work with your files in Windows Explorer, but that doesn't simplify the workflow very much.

How do I create an empty array/matrix in NumPy?

I looked into this a lot because I needed to use a numpy.array as a set in one of my school projects and I needed to be initialized empty... I didn't found any relevant answer here on Stack Overflow, so I started doodling something.

# Initialize your variable as an empty list first
In [32]: x=[]
# and now cast it as a numpy ndarray
In [33]: x=np.array(x)

The result will be:

In [34]: x
Out[34]: array([], dtype=float64)

Therefore you can directly initialize an np array as follows:

In [36]: x= np.array([], dtype=np.float64)

I hope this helps.

How to manually set REFERER header in Javascript?

You can use Object.defineProperty on the document object for the referrer property:

Object.defineProperty(document, "referrer", {get : function(){ return "my new referrer"; }});

Unfortunately this will not work on any version of safari <=5, Firefox < 4, Chrome < 5 and Internet Explorer < 9 as it doesn't allow defineProperty to be used on dom objects.

How using try catch for exception handling is best practice

The better approach is the second one (the one in which you specify the exception type). The advantage of this is that you know that this type of exception can occur in your code. You are handling this type of exception and you can resume. If any other exception came, then that means something is wrong which will help you find bugs in your code. The application will eventually crash, but you will come to know that there is something you missed (bug) which needs to be fixed.

Converting 24 hour time to 12 hour time w/ AM & PM using Javascript

    //it is pm if hours from 12 onwards
    suffix = (hours >= 12)? 'pm' : 'am';

    //only -12 from hours if it is greater than 12 (if not back at mid night)
    hours = (hours > 12)? hours -12 : hours;

    //if 00 then it is 12 am
    hours = (hours == '00')? 12 : hours;

Is there a timeout for idle PostgreSQL connections?

A possible workaround that allows to enable database session timeout without an external scheduled task is to use the extension pg_timeout that I have developped.

Font Awesome & Unicode

You can also use the FontAwesome icon with the CSS3 pseudo selector as shown below. enter image description here

Ensure to set the font-family to FontAwesome as shown below:

table.dataTable thead th.sorting:after {font-family: FontAwesome;}

To get the above working, you must do the following:

  1. Download the FontAwesome css library here FontAwesome v4.7.0
  2. Extract from the zip file and include into your app root folder, the two folders as shown below: enter image description here
  3. Reference only the css folder in the <head></head> section of your app as shown below: enter image description here

relative path in require_once doesn't work

Use

__DIR__

to get the current path of the script and this should fix your problem.

So:

require_once(__DIR__.'/../class/user.php');

This will prevent cases where you can run a PHP script from a different folder and therefore the relatives paths will not work.

Edit: slash problem fixed

Closing WebSocket correctly (HTML5, Javascript)

please use this

var uri = "ws://localhost:5000/ws";
var socket = new WebSocket(uri);
socket.onclose = function (e){
    console.log(connection closed);
};
window.addEventListener("unload", function () {
    if(socket.readyState == WebSocket.OPEN)
        socket.close();
});

Close browser doesn't trigger websocket close event. You must call socket.close() manually.

Converting from IEnumerable to List

If you're using an implementation of System.Collections.IEnumerable you can do like following to convert it to a List. The following uses Enumerable.Cast method to convert IEnumberable to a Generic List.

//ArrayList Implements IEnumerable interface
ArrayList _provinces = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
_provinces.Add("Western");
_provinces.Add("Eastern");

List<string> provinces = _provinces.Cast<string>().ToList();

If you're using Generic version IEnumerable<T>, The conversion is straight forward. Since both are generics, you can do like below,

IEnumerable<int> values = Enumerable.Range(1, 10);
List<int> valueList = values.ToList();

But if the IEnumerable is null, when you try to convert it to a List, you'll get ArgumentNullException saying Value cannot be null.

IEnumerable<int> values2 = null;
List<int> valueList2 = values2.ToList();

enter image description here

Therefore as mentioned in the other answer, remember to do a null check before converting it to a List.

Simple export and import of a SQLite database on Android

To export db rather it is SQLITE or ROOM:

Firstly, add this permission in AndroidManifest.xml file:

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

Secondly, we drive to code the db functions:

private void exportDB() {
    try {
        File dbFile = new File(this.getDatabasePath(DATABASE_NAME).getAbsolutePath());
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(dbFile);

        String outFileName = DirectoryName + File.separator +
                DATABASE_NAME + ".db";

        // Open the empty db as the output stream
        OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);

        // Transfer bytes from the inputfile to the outputfile
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;
        while ((length = fis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
            output.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }
        // Close the streams
        output.flush();
        output.close();
        fis.close();


    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("dbBackup:", e.getMessage());
    }
}

Create Folder on Daily basis with name of folder is Current date:

    if (dt != new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy").format(new Date())) {
        editor.putString("dt", new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy").format(new Date()));

        editor.commit();
    }

    File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "BackupDBs");
    boolean success = true;
    if (!folder.exists()) {
        success = folder.mkdirs();
    }
    if (success) {

        DirectoryName = folder.getPath() + File.separator + sharedPref.getString("dt", "");
        folder = new File(DirectoryName);
        if (!folder.exists()) {
            success = folder.mkdirs();
        }
        if (success) {
            exportDB();
        }
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Not create folder", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

How to not wrap contents of a div?

Forcing the buttons stay in the same line will make them go beyond the fixed width of the div they are in. If you are okay with that then you can make another div inside the div you already have. The new div in turn will hold the buttons and have the fixed width of however much space the two buttons need to stay in one line.

Here is an example:

<div id="parentDiv" style="width: [less-than-what-buttons-need]px;">
    <div id="holdsButtons" style="width: [>=-than-buttons-need]px;">
       <button id="button1">1</button>
       <button id="button2">2</button>
    </div>
</div>

You may want to consider overflow property for the chunk of the content outside of the parentDiv border.

Good luck!

How to decrypt Hash Password in Laravel

Short answer is that you don't 'decrypt' the password (because it's not encrypted - it's hashed).

The long answer is that you shouldn't send the user their password by email, or any other way. If the user has forgotten their password, you should send them a password reset email, and allow them to change their password on your website.

Laravel has most of this functionality built in (see the Laravel documentation - I'm not going to replicate it all here. Also available for versions 4.2 and 5.0 of Laravel).

For further reading, check out this 'blogoverflow' post: Why passwords should be hashed.

How to filter JSON Data in JavaScript or jQuery?

This is how you should do it : ( for google find)

  ])
    .filter(function (i,n){
        return n.website==='google';
    });

Better solution : ( Salman's)

Flask ImportError: No Module Named Flask

The only way I could solve was by adding my users python dir to myapp.wsgi file. As an example:

sudo apt install npm

Configuration optional, in some cases users may face permission errors.

  1. user defined directory where npm will install packages

    mkdir ~/.npm-global

  2. configure npm

    npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

  3. add directory to path

    echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile

  4. refresh path for the current session

    source ~/.profile

  5. cross-check npm and node modules installed successfully in our system

    node -v
    npm -v

Installation of npx

sudo npm i -g npx

Well-done we are ready to go... now you can easily use npx anywhere in your system.

Toggle input disabled attribute using jQuery

I guess to get full browser comparability disabled should set by the value disabled or get removed!
Here is a small plugin that I've just made:

(function($) {
    $.fn.toggleDisabled = function() {
        return this.each(function() {
            var $this = $(this);
            if ($this.attr('disabled')) $this.removeAttr('disabled');
            else $this.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

Example link.

EDIT: updated the example link/code to maintaining chainability!
EDIT 2:
Based on @lonesomeday comment, here's an enhanced version:

(function($) {
    $.fn.toggleDisabled = function(){
        return this.each(function(){
            this.disabled = !this.disabled;
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

How to clear the cache in NetBeans

The NetBeans cachedir is a directory consisting of files that may become large, may change frequently, and can be deleted and recreated at any time. For example, the results of the Java classpath scan reside in the cachedir.

NetBeans 7.1 and older By default the userdir is inside a (hidden) directory called .netbeans stored in the user's home directory. The home directory is ${HOME} on Unix-like systems, and %USERPROFILE% (usually set to C:\Documents and Settings\) on Windows. The cachedir can be found in var/cache subfolder of the userdir. As the name suggests, the userdir is unique per user. For each version of NetBeans installed, the userdir will be a unique subdirectory such as .netbeans/. To find out your exact userdir location, go to the IDE's main menu, and choose Help > About. (Mac: NetBeans > About NetBeans). NetBeans 7.1 allows to separate the cache directory using a switch --cachedir to a desired location.

Examples A Windows user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under C:\Documents and Settings\jdoe.netbeans\5.0\ A Windows Vista user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under C:\Users\jdoe.netbeans\5.0\ A Mac OS X user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under /Users/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/ (To open this folder in the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the Finder menu, type /Users/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/ into the box, and click Go.) A Linux user jdoe running NetBeans 5.0 is likely to find his userdir under /home/jdoe/.netbeans/5.0/

Enable ASP.NET ASMX web service for HTTP POST / GET requests

Actually, I found a somewhat quirky way to do this. Add the protocol to your web.config, but inside a location element. Specify the webservice location as the path attribute, like so:

    <webServices>
      <protocols>
        <add name="HttpGet"/>
        <add name="HttpPost"/>
      </protocols>
    </webServices>

XmlSerializer giving FileNotFoundException at constructor

This exception can also be trapped by a managed debugging assistant (MDA) called BindingFailure.

This MDA is useful if your application is designed to ship with pre-build serialization assemblies. We do this to increase performance for our application. It allows us to make sure that the pre-built serialization assemblies are being properly built by our build process, and loaded by the application without being re-built on the fly.

It's really not useful except in this scenario, because as other posters have said, when a binding error is trapped by the Serializer constructor, the serialization assembly is re-built at runtime. So you can usually turn it off.

Difference between id and name attributes in HTML

Generally, it is assumed that name is always superseded by id. This is true, to some extent, but not for form fields and frame names, practically speaking. For example, with form elements the name attribute is used to determine the name-value pairs to be sent to a server-side program and should not be eliminated. Browsers do not use id in that manner. To be on the safe side, you could use name and id attributes on form elements. So, we would write the following:

<form id="myForm" name="myForm">
     <input type="text" id="userName" name="userName" />
</form>

To ensure compatibility, having matching name and id attribute values when both are defined is a good idea. However, be careful—some tags, particularly radio buttons, must have nonunique name values, but require unique id values. Once again, this should reference that id is not simply a replacement for name; they are different in purpose. Furthermore, do not discount the old-style approach, a deep look at modern libraries shows such syntax style used for performance and ease purposes at times. Your goal should always be in favor of compatibility.

Now in most elements, the name attribute has been deprecated in favor of the more ubiquitous id attribute. However, in some cases, particularly form fields (<button>, <input>, <select>, and <textarea>), the name attribute lives on because it continues to be required to set the name-value pair for form submission. Also, we find that some elements, notably frames and links, may continue to use the name attribute because it is often useful for retrieving these elements by name.

There is a clear distinction between id and name. Very often when name continues on, we can set the values the same. However, id must be unique, and name in some cases shouldn’t—think radio buttons. Sadly, the uniqueness of id values, while caught by markup validation, is not as consistent as it should be. CSS implementation in browsers will style objects that share an id value; thus, we may not catch markup or style errors that could affect our JavaScript until runtime.

This is taken from the book JavaScript- The Complete Reference by Thomas-Powell

When running WebDriver with Chrome browser, getting message, "Only local connections are allowed" even though browser launches properly

This is an informational message only. What the message is telling you is that the chromedriver executable will only accept connections from the local machine.

Most driver implementations (the Chrome driver and the IE driver for sure) create a HTTP server. The language bindings (Java, Python, Ruby, .NET, etc.) all use a JSON-over-HTTP protocol to communicate with the driver and automate the browser. Since the HTTP server is simply listening on an open port for HTTP requests generated by the language bindings, connections to the HTTP server started by the language bindings are only allowed to come from other processes on the same host. Note carefully that this limitation does not apply to connections the browser can make to outside websites; rather it simply prevents incoming connections from other websites.

Converting to upper and lower case in Java

Try this on for size:

String properCase (String inputVal) {
    // Empty strings should be returned as-is.

    if (inputVal.length() == 0) return "";

    // Strings with only one character uppercased.

    if (inputVal.length() == 1) return inputVal.toUpperCase();

    // Otherwise uppercase first letter, lowercase the rest.

    return inputVal.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()
        + inputVal.substring(1).toLowerCase();
}

It basically handles special cases of empty and one-character string first and correctly cases a two-plus-character string otherwise. And, as pointed out in a comment, the one-character special case isn't needed for functionality but I still prefer to be explicit, especially if it results in fewer useless calls, such as substring to get an empty string, lower-casing it, then appending it as well.

Preventing form resubmission

I really like @Angelin's answer. But if you're dealing with some legacy code where this is not practical, this technique might work for you.

At the top of the file

// Protect against resubmits
if (empty($_POST))  {
   $_POST['last_pos_sub'] = time();
} else {
     if (isset($_POST['last_pos_sub'])){
        if ($_POST['last_pos_sub'] == $_SESSION['curr_pos_sub']) {
           redirect back to the file so POST data is not preserved
        }
        $_SESSION['curr_pos_sub'] = $_POST['last_pos_sub'];
     }
}

Then at the end of the form, stick in last_pos_sub as follows:

My problem was using cursor: 'pointer' mistakenly instead of cursor: pointer. So, make sure you are not adding single or double quotes around pointer.

Getting Git to work with a proxy server - fails with "Request timed out"

Set a system variable named http_proxy with the value of ProxyServer:Port. That is the simplest solution. Respectively, use https_proxy as daefu pointed out in the comments.

Setting gitproxy (as sleske mentions) is another option, but that requires a "command", which is not as straightforward as the above solution.

Laravel - Return json along with http status code

There are multiple ways

return \Response::json(['hello' => $value], STATUS_CODE);

return response()->json(['hello' => $value], STATUS_CODE);

where STATUS_CODE is your HTTP status code you want to send. Both are identical.

if you are using Eloquent model, then simple return will also be auto converted in JSON by default like,

return User::all();

Java sending and receiving file (byte[]) over sockets

Rookie, if you want to write a file to server by socket, how about using fileoutputstream instead of dataoutputstream? dataoutputstream is more fit for protocol-level read-write. it is not very reasonable for your code in bytes reading and writing. loop to read and write is necessary in java io. and also, you use a buffer way. flush is necessary. here is a code sample: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0542.html

Why does CSS not support negative padding?

I recently answered a different question where I discussed why the box model is the way it is.

There are specific reasons for each part of the box model. Padding is meant to extend the background beyond its contents. If you need to shrink the background of the container, you should make the parent container the correct size and give the child element some negative margins. In this case the content is not being padded, it's overflowing.

Cannot open include file: 'stdio.h' - Visual Studio Community 2017 - C++ Error

There are three ways to solve this issue.

  1. Ignore Precompiled Headers #1
    Steps: Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Command Line > in the Additional Options box add /Y-. (Screenshot of Property Pages) > Ok > Remove #include "stdafx.h"
  2. Ignore Precompiled Headers #2
    Steps: File > New > Project > ... > In the Application Wizard Window click Next > Uncheck the Precompiled Header box > Finish > Remove #include "stdafx.h"
  3. Reinstall Visual Studio
    This also worked for me, because I realized that maybe there was something wrong with my Windows SDK. I was using Windows 10, but with Windows SDK 8.1. You may have this problem as well.
    Steps: Open Visual Studio Installer > Click on the three-lined Menu Bar > Uninstall > Restart your computer > Open Visual Studio Installer > Install what you want, but make sure you install only the latest Windows SDK 10, not multiple ones nor the 8.1.

    The first time I installed Visual Studio, I would get an error stating that I needed to install Windows SDK 8.1. So I did, through Visual Studio Installer's Modify option. Perhaps this was a problem because I was installed it after Visual Studio was already installed, or because I needed SDK 10 instead. Just to be safe I did a complete reinstall.

How to fix a collation conflict in a SQL Server query?

I had problems with collations as I had most of the tables with Modern_Spanish_CI_AS, but a few, which I had inherited or copied from another Database, had SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation.

In my case, the easiest way to solve the problem has been as follows:

  1. I've created a copy of the tables which were 'Latin American, using script table as...
  2. The new tables have obviously acquired the 'Modern Spanish' collation of my database
  3. I've copied the data of my 'Latin American' table into the new one, deleted the old one and renamed the new one.

I hope this helps other users.

Equivalent of shell 'cd' command to change the working directory?

cd() is easy to write using a generator and a decorator.

from contextlib import contextmanager
import os

@contextmanager
def cd(newdir):
    prevdir = os.getcwd()
    os.chdir(os.path.expanduser(newdir))
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        os.chdir(prevdir)

Then, the directory is reverted even after an exception is thrown:

os.chdir('/home')

with cd('/tmp'):
    # ...
    raise Exception("There's no place like /home.")
# Directory is now back to '/home'.

Get child Node of another Node, given node name

How to create a stopwatch using JavaScript?

jsbin.com demo

You'll see the demo code is just a start/stop/reset millisecond counter. If you want to do fanciful formatting on the time, that's completely up to you. This should be more than enough to get you started.

This was a fun little project to work on. Here's how I'd approach it

var Stopwatch = function(elem, options) {

  var timer       = createTimer(),
      startButton = createButton("start", start),
      stopButton  = createButton("stop", stop),
      resetButton = createButton("reset", reset),
      offset,
      clock,
      interval;

  // default options
  options = options || {};
  options.delay = options.delay || 1;

  // append elements     
  elem.appendChild(timer);
  elem.appendChild(startButton);
  elem.appendChild(stopButton);
  elem.appendChild(resetButton);

  // initialize
  reset();

  // private functions
  function createTimer() {
    return document.createElement("span");
  }

  function createButton(action, handler) {
    var a = document.createElement("a");
    a.href = "#" + action;
    a.innerHTML = action;
    a.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
      handler();
      event.preventDefault();
    });
    return a;
  }

  function start() {
    if (!interval) {
      offset   = Date.now();
      interval = setInterval(update, options.delay);
    }
  }

  function stop() {
    if (interval) {
      clearInterval(interval);
      interval = null;
    }
  }

  function reset() {
    clock = 0;
    render();
  }

  function update() {
    clock += delta();
    render();
  }

  function render() {
    timer.innerHTML = clock/1000; 
  }

  function delta() {
    var now = Date.now(),
        d   = now - offset;

    offset = now;
    return d;
  }

  // public API
  this.start  = start;
  this.stop   = stop;
  this.reset  = reset;
};

Get some basic HTML wrappers for it

<!-- create 3 stopwatches -->
<div class="stopwatch"></div>
<div class="stopwatch"></div>
<div class="stopwatch"></div>

Usage is dead simple from there

var elems = document.getElementsByClassName("stopwatch");

for (var i=0, len=elems.length; i<len; i++) {
  new Stopwatch(elems[i]);
}

As a bonus, you get a programmable API for the timers as well. Here's a usage example

var elem = document.getElementById("my-stopwatch");
var timer = new Stopwatch(elem, {delay: 10});

// start the timer
timer.start();

// stop the timer
timer.stop();

// reset the timer
timer.reset();

jQuery plugin

As for the jQuery portion, once you have nice code composition as above, writing a jQuery plugin is easy mode

(function($) {

  var Stopwatch = function(elem, options) {
    // code from above...
  };

  $.fn.stopwatch = function(options) {
    return this.each(function(idx, elem) {
      new Stopwatch(elem, options);
    });
  };
})(jQuery);

jQuery plugin usage

// all elements with class .stopwatch; default delay (1 ms)
$(".stopwatch").stopwatch();

// a specific element with id #my-stopwatch; custom delay (10 ms)
$("#my-stopwatch").stopwatch({delay: 10});

Rotating a Vector in 3D Space

If you want to rotate a vector you should construct what is known as a rotation matrix.

Rotation in 2D

Say you want to rotate a vector or a point by ?, then trigonometry states that the new coordinates are

    x' = x cos ? - y sin ?
    y' = x sin ? + y cos ?

To demo this, let's take the cardinal axes X and Y; when we rotate the X-axis 90° counter-clockwise, we should end up with the X-axis transformed into Y-axis. Consider

    Unit vector along X axis = <1, 0>
    x' = 1 cos 90 - 0 sin 90 = 0
    y' = 1 sin 90 + 0 cos 90 = 1
    New coordinates of the vector, <x', y'> = <0, 1>  ?  Y-axis

When you understand this, creating a matrix to do this becomes simple. A matrix is just a mathematical tool to perform this in a comfortable, generalized manner so that various transformations like rotation, scale and translation (moving) can be combined and performed in a single step, using one common method. From linear algebra, to rotate a point or vector in 2D, the matrix to be built is

    |cos ?   -sin ?| |x| = |x cos ? - y sin ?| = |x'|
    |sin ?    cos ?| |y|   |x sin ? + y cos ?|   |y'|

Rotation in 3D

That works in 2D, while in 3D we need to take in to account the third axis. Rotating a vector around the origin (a point) in 2D simply means rotating it around the Z-axis (a line) in 3D; since we're rotating around Z-axis, its coordinate should be kept constant i.e. 0° (rotation happens on the XY plane in 3D). In 3D rotating around the Z-axis would be

    |cos ?   -sin ?   0| |x|   |x cos ? - y sin ?|   |x'|
    |sin ?    cos ?   0| |y| = |x sin ? + y cos ?| = |y'|
    |  0       0      1| |z|   |        z        |   |z'|

around the Y-axis would be

    | cos ?    0   sin ?| |x|   | x cos ? + z sin ?|   |x'|
    |   0      1       0| |y| = |         y        | = |y'|
    |-sin ?    0   cos ?| |z|   |-x sin ? + z cos ?|   |z'|

around the X-axis would be

    |1     0           0| |x|   |        x        |   |x'|
    |0   cos ?    -sin ?| |y| = |y cos ? - z sin ?| = |y'|
    |0   sin ?     cos ?| |z|   |y sin ? + z cos ?|   |z'|

Note 1: axis around which rotation is done has no sine or cosine elements in the matrix.

Note 2: This method of performing rotations follows the Euler angle rotation system, which is simple to teach and easy to grasp. This works perfectly fine for 2D and for simple 3D cases; but when rotation needs to be performed around all three axes at the same time then Euler angles may not be sufficient due to an inherent deficiency in this system which manifests itself as Gimbal lock. People resort to Quaternions in such situations, which is more advanced than this but doesn't suffer from Gimbal locks when used correctly.

I hope this clarifies basic rotation.

Rotation not Revolution

The aforementioned matrices rotate an object at a distance r = v(x² + y²) from the origin along a circle of radius r; lookup polar coordinates to know why. This rotation will be with respect to the world space origin a.k.a revolution. Usually we need to rotate an object around its own frame/pivot and not around the world's i.e. local origin. This can also be seen as a special case where r = 0. Since not all objects are at the world origin, simply rotating using these matrices will not give the desired result of rotating around the object's own frame. You'd first translate (move) the object to world origin (so that the object's origin would align with the world's, thereby making r = 0), perform the rotation with one (or more) of these matrices and then translate it back again to its previous location. The order in which the transforms are applied matters. Combining multiple transforms together is called concatenation or composition.

Composition

I urge you to read about linear and affine transformations and their composition to perform multiple transformations in one shot, before playing with transformations in code. Without understanding the basic maths behind it, debugging transformations would be a nightmare. I found this lecture video to be a very good resource. Another resource is this tutorial on transformations that aims to be intuitive and illustrates the ideas with animation (caveat: authored by me!).

Rotation around Arbitrary Vector

A product of the aforementioned matrices should be enough if you only need rotations around cardinal axes (X, Y or Z) like in the question posted. However, in many situations you might want to rotate around an arbitrary axis/vector. The Rodrigues' formula (a.k.a. axis-angle formula) is a commonly prescribed solution to this problem. However, resort to it only if you’re stuck with just vectors and matrices. If you're using Quaternions, just build a quaternion with the required vector and angle. Quaternions are a superior alternative for storing and manipulating 3D rotations; it's compact and fast e.g. concatenating two rotations in axis-angle representation is fairly expensive, moderate with matrices but cheap in quaternions. Usually all rotation manipulations are done with quaternions and as the last step converted to matrices when uploading to the rendering pipeline. See Understanding Quaternions for a decent primer on quaternions.

How to disable an input type=text?

If the data is populated from the database, you might consider not using an <input> tag to display it. Nevertheless, you can disable it right in the tag:

<input type='text' value='${magic.database.value}' disabled>

If you need to disable it with Javascript later, you can set the "disabled" attribute:

document.getElementById('theInput').disabled = true;

The reason I suggest not showing the value as an <input> is that, in my experience, it causes layout issues. If the text is long, then in an <input> the user will need to try and scroll the text, which is not something normal people would guess to do. If you just drop it into a <span> or something, you have more styling flexibility.

Using local makefile for CLion instead of CMake

Newest version has better support literally for any generated Makefiles, through the compiledb

Three steps:

  1. install compiledb

    pip install compiledb
    
  2. run a dry make

    compiledb -n make 
    

    (do the autogen, configure if needed)

  3. there will be a compile_commands.json file generated open the project and you will see CLion will load info from the json file. If you your CLion still try to find CMakeLists.txt and cannot read compile_commands.json, try to remove the entire folder, re-download the source files, and redo step 1,2,3

<span ng-show="!somefield">Sorry, the field is empty!</span>
<span ng-hide="!somefield">Thanks. Successfully validated!</span>

How to validate phone number using PHP?

Since phone numbers must conform to a pattern, you can use regular expressions to match the entered phone number against the pattern you define in regexp.

php has both ereg and preg_match() functions. I'd suggest using preg_match() as there's more documentation for this style of regex.

An example

$phone = '000-0000-0000';

if(preg_match("/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}$/", $phone)) {
  // $phone is valid
}

Auto-loading lib files in Rails 4

This might help someone like me that finds this answer when searching for solutions to how Rails handles the class loading ... I found that I had to define a module whose name matched my filename appropriately, rather than just defining a class:

In file lib/development_mail_interceptor.rb (Yes, I'm using code from a Railscast :))

module DevelopmentMailInterceptor
  class DevelopmentMailInterceptor
    def self.delivering_email(message)
      message.subject = "intercepted for: #{message.to} #{message.subject}"
      message.to = "[email protected]"
    end
  end
end

works, but it doesn't load if I hadn't put the class inside a module.

R: += (plus equals) and ++ (plus plus) equivalent from c++/c#/java, etc.?

We can override +. If unary + is used and its argument is itself an unary + call, then increment the relevant variable in the calling environment.

`+` <- function(e1,e2){
    # if unary `+`, keep original behavior
    if(missing(e2)) {
      s_e1 <- substitute(e1)
      # if e1 (the argument of unary +) is itself an unary `+` operation
      if(length(s_e1) == 2 && 
         identical(s_e1[[1]], quote(`+`)) && 
         length(s_e1[[2]]) == 1) {
        # increment value in parent environment
        eval.parent(substitute(e1 <- e1 + 1, list(e1 = s_e1[[2]])))
      # else unary `+` should just return it's input
      } else e1
    # if binary `+`, keep original behavior
    } else .Primitive("+")(e1, e2)
}

x <- 10
++x
x
# [1] 11

other operations don't change :

x + 2
# [1] 13
x ++ 2
# [1] 13
+x
# [1] 11
x
# [1] 11

Don't do it though, as you'll slow down everything. Or do it in another environment and make sure you don't have big loops on these instructions.

You can also just do this :

`++` <- function(x) eval.parent(substitute(x <- x + 1))
a <- 1
`++`(a)
a
# [1] 2

Remove a HTML tag but keep the innerHtml

You can also use .replaceWith(), like this:

$("b").replaceWith(function() { return $(this).contents(); });

Or if you know it's just a string:

$("b").replaceWith(function() { return this.innerHTML; });

This can make a big difference if you're unwrapping a lot of elements since either approach above is significantly faster than the cost of .unwrap().

How to enable back/left swipe gesture in UINavigationController after setting leftBarButtonItem?

it works for me Swift 3:

and in ViewDidLoad:

    self.navigationController?.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.delegate = self
    self.navigationController?.interactivePopGestureRecognizer?.isEnabled = true

API vs. Webservice

API's are a published interface which defines how component A communicates with component B.

For example, Doubleclick have a published Java API which allows users to interrogate the database tables to get information about their online advertising campaign.

e.g. call GetNumberClicks (user name)

To implement the API, you have to add the Doubleclick .jar file to your class path. The call is local.

A web service is a form of API where the interface is defined by means of a WSDL. This allows remote calling of an interface over HTTP.

If Doubleclick implemented their interface as a web service, they would use something like Axis2 running inside Tomcat.

The remote user would call the web service

e.g. call GetNumberClicksWebService (user name)

and the GetNumberClicksWebService service would call GetNumberClicks locally.

Environment variables in Mac OS X

There are several places where you can set environment variables.

  • ~/.profile: use this for variables you want to set in all programs launched from the terminal (note that, unlike on Linux, all shells opened in Terminal.app are login shells).
  • ~/.bashrc: this is invoked for shells which are not login shells. Use this for aliases and other things which need to be redefined in subshells, not for environment variables that are inherited.
  • /etc/profile: this is loaded before ~/.profile, but is otherwise equivalent. Use it when you want the variable to apply to terminal programs launched by all users on the machine (assuming they use bash).
  • ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist: this is read by loginwindow on login. It applies to all applications, including GUI ones, except those launched by Spotlight in 10.5 (not 10.6). It requires you to logout and login again for changes to take effect. This file is no longer supported as of OS X 10.8.
  • your user's launchd instance: this applies to all programs launched by the user, GUI and CLI. You can apply changes at any time by using the setenv command in launchctl. In theory, you should be able to put setenv commands in ~/.launchd.conf, and launchd would read them automatically when the user logs in, but in practice support for this file was never implemented. Instead, you can use another mechanism to execute a script at login, and have that script call launchctl to set up the launchd environment.
  • /etc/launchd.conf: this is read by launchd when the system starts up and when a user logs in. They affect every single process on the system, because launchd is the root process. To apply changes to the running root launchd you can pipe the commands into sudo launchctl.

The fundamental things to understand are:

  • environment variables are inherited by a process's children at the time they are forked.
  • the root process is a launchd instance, and there is also a separate launchd instance per user session.
  • launchd allows you to change its current environment variables using launchctl; the updated variables are then inherited by all new processes it forks from then on.

Example of setting an environment variable with launchd:

echo setenv REPLACE_WITH_VAR REPLACE_WITH_VALUE | launchctl

Now, launch your GUI app that uses the variable, and voila!

To work around the fact that ~/.launchd.conf does not work, you can put the following script in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.launchd.conf.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.launchd.conf</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>sh</string>
    <string>-c</string>
    <string>launchctl &lt; ~/.launchd.conf</string>    
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Then you can put setenv REPLACE_WITH_VAR REPLACE_WITH_VALUE inside ~/.launchd.conf, and it will be executed at each login.

Note that, when piping a command list into launchctl in this fashion, you will not be able to set environment variables with values containing spaces. If you need to do so, you can call launchctl as follows: launchctl setenv MYVARIABLE "QUOTE THE STRING".

Also, note that other programs that run at login may execute before the launchagent, and thus may not see the environment variables it sets.

Calling dynamic function with dynamic number of parameters

                catch (e)
                { }
            }
    function aaa(a, b) {

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date

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

ISO 8601

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

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

Proper time zone name

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

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

java.time

The modern approach uses the java.time classes.

Define a formatting pattern to match your input strings.

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

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

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

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

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


About java.time

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

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

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

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

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

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

Iterate over object in Angular

If someone is wondering how to work with multidimensional object, here is the solution.

lets assume we have following object in service

getChallenges() {
    var objects = {};
    objects['0'] = { 
        title: 'Angular2', 
        description : "Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur."
    };

    objects['1'] = { 
        title: 'AngularJS', 
        description : "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry."
    };

    objects['2'] = { 
        title: 'Bootstrap',
        description : "Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.",
    };
    return objects;
}

in component add following function

challenges;

constructor(testService : TestService){
    this.challenges = testService.getChallenges();
}
keys() : Array<string> {
    return Object.keys(this.challenges);
}

finally in view do following

<div *ngFor="#key of keys();">
    <h4 class="heading">{{challenges[key].title}}</h4>
    <p class="description">{{challenges[key].description}}</p>
</div>

How to add and get Header values in WebApi

For .NET Core:

string Token = Request.Headers["Custom"];

Or

var re = Request;
var headers = re.Headers;
string token = string.Empty;
StringValues x = default(StringValues);
if (headers.ContainsKey("Custom"))
{
   var m = headers.TryGetValue("Custom", out x);
}

How to use split?

According to MDN, the split() method divides a String into an ordered set of substrings, puts these substrings into an array, and returns the array.

Example

var str = 'Hello my friend'

var split1 = str.split(' ') // ["Hello", "my", "friend"]
var split2 = str.split('') // ["H", "e", "l", "l", "o", " ", "m", "y", " ", "f", "r", "i", "e", "n", "d"]

In your case

var str = 'something -- something_else'
var splitArr = str.split(' -- ') // ["something", "something_else"]

console.log(splitArr[0]) // something
console.log(splitArr[1]) // something_else

What is the difference between include and require in Ruby?

What's the difference between "include" and "require" in Ruby?

Answer:

The include and require methods do very different things.

The require method does what include does in most other programming languages: run another file. It also tracks what you've required in the past and won't require the same file twice. To run another file without this added functionality, you can use the load method.

The include method takes all the methods from another module and includes them into the current module. This is a language-level thing as opposed to a file-level thing as with require. The include method is the primary way to "extend" classes with other modules (usually referred to as mix-ins). For example, if your class defines the method "each", you can include the mixin module Enumerable and it can act as a collection. This can be confusing as the include verb is used very differently in other languages.

Source

So if you just want to use a module, rather than extend it or do a mix-in, then you'll want to use require.

Oddly enough, Ruby's require is analogous to C's include, while Ruby's include is almost nothing like C's include.

Using RegEX To Prefix And Append In Notepad++

Assuming alphanumeric words, you can use:

Search  = ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
Replace = able:"\1"

Or, if you just want to highlight the lines and use "Replace All" & "In Selection" (with the same replace):

Search = ^(.+)$

^ points to the start of the line.
$ points to the end of the line.

\1 will be the source match within the parentheses.

How do I convert uint to int in C#?

uint i = 10;
int j = (int)i;

or

int k = Convert.ToInt32(i)

Can you write virtual functions / methods in Java?

All non-private instance methods are virtual by default in Java.

In C++, private methods can be virtual. This can be exploited for the non-virtual-interface (NVI) idiom. In Java, you'd need to make the NVI overridable methods protected.

From the Java Language Specification, v3:

8.4.8.1 Overriding (by Instance Methods) An instance method m1 declared in a class C overrides another instance method, m2, declared in class A iff all of the following are true:

  1. C is a subclass of A.
  2. The signature of m1 is a subsignature (§8.4.2) of the signature of m2.
  3. Either * m2 is public, protected or declared with default access in the same package as C, or * m1 overrides a method m3, m3 distinct from m1, m3 distinct from m2, such that m3 overrides m2.

How to declare a global variable in a .js file

As mentioned above, there are issues with using the top-most scope in your script file. Here is another issue: The script file might be run from a context that is not the global context in some run-time environment.

It has been proposed to assign the global to window directly. But that is also run-time dependent and does not work in Node etc. It goes to show that portable global variable management needs some careful consideration and extra effort. Maybe they will fix it in future ECMS versions!

For now, I would recommend something like this to support proper global management for all run-time environments:

/**
 * Exports the given object into the global context.
 */
var exportGlobal = function(name, object) {
    if (typeof(global) !== "undefined")  {
        // Node.js
        global[name] = object;
    }
    else if (typeof(window) !== "undefined") {
        // JS with GUI (usually browser)
        window[name] = object;
    }
    else {
        throw new Error("Unkown run-time environment. Currently only browsers and Node.js are supported.");
    }
};


// export exportGlobal itself
exportGlobal("exportGlobal", exportGlobal);

// create a new global namespace
exportGlobal("someothernamespace", {});

It's a bit more typing, but it makes your global variable management future-proof.

Disclaimer: Part of this idea came to me when looking at previous versions of stacktrace.js.

I reckon, one can also use Webpack or other tools to get more reliable and less hackish detection of the run-time environment.

How to Kill A Session or Session ID (ASP.NET/C#)

Session.Abandon() this will destroy the data.

Note, this won't necessarily truly remove the session token from a user, and that same session token at a later point might get picked up and created as a new session with the same id because it's deemed to be fair game to be used.

How does the data-toggle attribute work? (What's its API?)

I think you are a bit confused on the purpose of custom data attributes. From the w3 spec

Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements.

By itself an attribute of data-toggle=value is basically a key-value pair, in which the key is "data-toggle" and the value is "value".

In the context of Bootstrap, the custom data in the attribute is almost useless without the context that their JavaScript library includes for the data. If you look at the non-minified version of bootstrap.js then you can do a search for "data-toggle" and find how it is being used.

Here is an example of Bootstrap JavaScript code that I copied straight from the file regarding the use of "data-toggle".

  • Button Toggle

    Button.prototype.toggle = function () {
      var changed = true
      var $parent = this.$element.closest('[data-toggle="buttons"]')
    
      if ($parent.length) {
        var $input = this.$element.find('input')
        if ($input.prop('type') == 'radio') {
          if ($input.prop('checked') && this.$element.hasClass('active')) changed = false
          else $parent.find('.active').removeClass('active')
        }
        if (changed) $input.prop('checked', !this.$element.hasClass('active')).trigger('change')
      } else {
        this.$element.attr('aria-pressed', !this.$element.hasClass('active'))
      }
    
      if (changed) this.$element.toggleClass('active')
    }
    

The context that the code provides shows that Bootstrap is using the data-toggle attribute as a custom query selector to process the particular element.

From what I see these are the data-toggle options:

  • collapse
  • dropdown
  • modal
  • tab
  • pill
  • button(s)

You may want to look at the Bootstrap JavaScript documentation to get more specifics of what each do, but basically the data-toggle attribute toggles the element to active or not.

What is hashCode used for? Is it unique?

It's not unique to WP7--it's present on all .Net objects. It sort of does what you describe, but I would not recommend it as a unique identifier in your apps, as it is not guaranteed to be unique.

Java file path in Linux

I think Todd is correct, but I think there's one other thing you should consider. You can reliably get the home directory from the JVM at runtime, and then you can create files objects relative to that location. It's not that much more trouble, and it's something you'll appreciate if you ever move to another computer or operating system.

File homedir = new File(System.getProperty("user.home"));
File fileToRead = new File(homedir, "java/ex.txt");

Get input type="file" value when it has multiple files selected

The files selected are stored in an array: [input].files

For example, you can access the items

// assuming there is a file input with the ID `my-input`...
var files = document.getElementById("my-input").files;

for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
 alert(files[i].name);
}

For jQuery-comfortable people, it's similarly easy

// assuming there is a file input with the ID `my-input`...
var files = $("#my-input")[0].files;

for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
 alert(files[i].name);
}

How to solve Notice: Undefined index: id in C:\xampp\htdocs\invmgt\manufactured_goods\change.php on line 21

You are not getting value of $id=$_GET['id'];

And you are using it (before it gets initialised).

Use php's in built isset() function to check whether the variable is defied or not.

So, please update the line to:

$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : '';

Check if the number is integer

Here's a solution using simpler functions and no hacks:

all.equal(a, as.integer(a))

What's more, you can test a whole vector at once, if you wish. Here's a function:

testInteger <- function(x){
  test <- all.equal(x, as.integer(x), check.attributes = FALSE)
  if(test == TRUE){ return(TRUE) }
  else { return(FALSE) }
}

You can change it to use *apply in the case of vectors, matrices, etc.

Python 3 turn range to a list

You can just construct a list from the range object:

my_list = list(range(1, 1001))

This is how you do it with generators in python2.x as well. Typically speaking, you probably don't need a list though since you can come by the value of my_list[i] more efficiently (i + 1), and if you just need to iterate over it, you can just fall back on range.

Also note that on python2.x, xrange is still indexable1. This means that range on python3.x also has the same property2

1print xrange(30)[12] works for python2.x

2The analogous statement to 1 in python3.x is print(range(30)[12]) and that works also.

  • You may want to pass the history prop from parent component down to the component you want to invoke the action if its not available.

Mockito: List Matchers with generics

In addition to anyListOf above, you can always specify generics explicitly using this syntax:

when(mock.process(Matchers.<List<Bar>>any(List.class)));

Java 8 newly allows type inference based on parameters, so if you're using Java 8, this may work as well:

when(mock.process(Matchers.any()));

Remember that neither any() nor anyList() will apply any checks, including type or null checks. In Mockito 2.x, any(Foo.class) was changed to mean "any instanceof Foo", but any() still means "any value including null".

NOTE: The above has switched to ArgumentMatchers in newer versions of Mockito, to avoid a name collision with org.hamcrest.Matchers. Older versions of Mockito will need to keep using org.mockito.Matchers as above.

How to merge a specific commit in Git

We will have to use git cherry-pick <commit-number>

Scenario: I am on a branch called release and I want to add only few changes from master branch to release branch.

Step 1: checkout the branch where you want to add the changes

git checkout release

Step 2: get the commit number of the changes u want to add

for example

git cherry-pick 634af7b56ec

Step 3: git push

Note: Every time your merge there is a separate commit number create. Do not take the commit number for merge that won't work. Instead, the commit number for any regular commit u want to add.

Angular File Upload

First, you need to set up HttpClient in your Angular project.

Open the src/app/app.module.ts file, import HttpClientModule and add it to the imports array of the module as follows:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';  
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';  
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

@NgModule({  
  declarations: [  
    AppComponent,  
  ],  
  imports: [  
    BrowserModule,  
    AppRoutingModule,  
    HttpClientModule  
  ],  
  providers: [],  
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]  
})  
export class AppModule { }

Next, generate a component:

$ ng generate component home

Next, generate an upload service:

$ ng generate service upload

Next, open the src/app/upload.service.ts file as follows:

import { HttpClient, HttpEvent, HttpErrorResponse, HttpEventType } from  '@angular/common/http';  
import { map } from  'rxjs/operators';

@Injectable({  
  providedIn: 'root'  
})  
export class UploadService { 
    SERVER_URL: string = "https://file.io/";  
    constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) { }
    public upload(formData) {

      return this.httpClient.post<any>(this.SERVER_URL, formData, {  
         reportProgress: true,  
         observe: 'events'  
      });  
   }
}

Next, open the src/app/home/home.component.ts file, and start by adding the following imports:

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild, ElementRef  } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpEventType, HttpErrorResponse } from '@angular/common/http';
import { of } from 'rxjs';  
import { catchError, map } from 'rxjs/operators';  
import { UploadService } from  '../upload.service';

Next, define the fileUpload and files variables and inject UploadService as follows:

@Component({  
  selector: 'app-home',  
  templateUrl: './home.component.html',  
  styleUrls: ['./home.component.css']  
})  
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
    @ViewChild("fileUpload", {static: false}) fileUpload: ElementRef;files  = [];  
    constructor(private uploadService: UploadService) { }

Next, define the uploadFile() method:

uploadFile(file) {  
    const formData = new FormData();  
    formData.append('file', file.data);  
    file.inProgress = true;  
    this.uploadService.upload(formData).pipe(  
      map(event => {  
        switch (event.type) {  
          case HttpEventType.UploadProgress:  
            file.progress = Math.round(event.loaded * 100 / event.total);  
            break;  
          case HttpEventType.Response:  
            return event;  
        }  
      }),  
      catchError((error: HttpErrorResponse) => {  
        file.inProgress = false;  
        return of(`${file.data.name} upload failed.`);  
      })).subscribe((event: any) => {  
        if (typeof (event) === 'object') {  
          console.log(event.body);  
        }  
      });  
  }

Next, define the uploadFiles() method which can be used to upload multiple image files:

private uploadFiles() {  
    this.fileUpload.nativeElement.value = '';  
    this.files.forEach(file => {  
      this.uploadFile(file);  
    });  
}

Next, define the onClick() method:

onClick() {  
    const fileUpload = this.fileUpload.nativeElement;fileUpload.onchange = () => {  
    for (let index = 0; index < fileUpload.files.length; index++)  
    {  
     const file = fileUpload.files[index];  
     this.files.push({ data: file, inProgress: false, progress: 0});  
    }  
      this.uploadFiles();  
    };  
    fileUpload.click();  
}

Next, we need to create the HTML template of our image upload UI. Open the src/app/home/home.component.html file and add the following content:

<div [ngStyle]="{'text-align':center; 'margin-top': 100px;}">
   <button mat-button color="primary" (click)="fileUpload.click()">choose file</button>  
   <button mat-button color="warn" (click)="onClick()">Upload</button>  
   <input [hidden]="true" type="file" #fileUpload id="fileUpload" name="fileUpload" multiple="multiple" accept="image/*" />
</div>

How do I create a branch?

Branching in Subversion is facilitated by a very very light and efficient copying facility.

Branching and tagging are effectively the same. Just copy a whole folder in the repository to somewhere else in the repository using the svn copy command.

Basically this means that it is by convention what copying a folder means - whether it be a backup, tag, branch or whatever. Depending upon how you want to think about things (normally depending upon which SCM tool you have used in the past) you need to set up a folder structure within your repository to support your style.

Common styles are to have a bunch of folders at the top of your repository called tags, branches, trunk, etc. - that allows you to copy your whole trunk (or sub-sets) into the tags and/or branches folders. If you have more than one project you might want to replicate this kind of structure under each project:

It can take a while to get used to the concept - but it works - just make sure you (and your team) are clear on the conventions that you are going to use. It is also a good idea to have a good naming convention - something that tells you why the branch/tag was made and whether it is still appropriate - consider ways of archiving branches that are obsolete.

matplotlib: how to draw a rectangle on image

You can add a Rectangle patch to the matplotlib Axes.

For example (using the image from the tutorial here):

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
from PIL import Image

im = Image.open('stinkbug.png')

# Create figure and axes
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# Display the image
ax.imshow(im)

# Create a Rectangle patch
rect = patches.Rectangle((50, 100), 40, 30, linewidth=1, edgecolor='r', facecolor='none')

# Add the patch to the Axes
ax.add_patch(rect)

plt.show()

A python class that acts like dict

Like this

class CustomDictOne(dict):
   def __init__(self,*arg,**kw):
      super(CustomDictOne, self).__init__(*arg, **kw)

Now you can use the built-in functions, like dict.get() as self.get().

You do not need to wrap a hidden self._dict. Your class already is a dict.

Verify if file exists or not in C#

Can't comment yet, but I just wanted to disagree/clarify with erikkallen.

You should not just catch the exception in the situation you've described. If you KNEW that the file should be there and due to some exceptional case, it wasn't, then it would be acceptable to just attempt to access the file and catch any exception that occurs.

In this case, however, you are receiving input from a user and have little reason to believe that the file exists. Here you should always use File.Exists().

I know it is cliché, but you should only use Exceptions for an exceptional event, not as part as the normal flow of your application. It is expensive and makes code more difficult to read/follow.

Writing an input integer into a cell

When asking a user for a response to put into a cell using the InputBox method, there are usually three things that can happen¹.

  1. The user types something in and clicks OK. This is what you expect to happen and you will receive input back that can be returned directly to a cell or a declared variable.
  2. The user clicks Cancel, presses Esc or clicks × (Close). The return value is a boolean False. This should be accounted for.
  3. The user does not type anything in but clicks OK regardless. The return value is a zero-length string.

If you are putting the return value into a cell, your own logic stream will dictate what you want to do about the latter two scenarios. You may want to clear the cell or you may want to leave the cell contents alone. Here is how to handle the various outcomes with a variant type variable and a Select Case statement.

    Dim returnVal As Variant

    returnVal = InputBox(Prompt:="Type a value:", Title:="Test Data")

    'if the user clicked Cancel, Close or Esc the False
    'is translated to the variant as a vbNullString
    Select Case True
        Case Len(returnVal) = 0
            'no value but user clicked OK - clear the target cell
            Range("A2").ClearContents
        Case Else
            'returned a value with OK, save it
            Range("A2") = returnVal
    End Select

¹ There is a fourth scenario when a specific type of InputBox method is used. An InputBox can return a formula, cell range error or array. Those are special cases and requires using very specific syntax options. See the supplied link for more.

Should I initialize variable within constructor or outside constructor

One thing, regardless of how you initialize the field, use of the final qualifier, if possible, will ensure the visibility of the field's value in a multi-threaded environment.

Is there a method that calculates a factorial in Java?


public static long factorial(int number) {
    if (number < 0) {
        throw new ArithmeticException(number + " is negative");
    }
    long fact = 1;
    for (int i = 1; i <= number; ++i) {
        fact *= i;
    }
    return fact;
}

using recursion.


public static long factorial(int number) {
    if (number < 0) {
        throw new ArithmeticException(number + " is negative");
    }
    return number == 0 || number == 1 ? 1 : number * factorial(number - 1);
}

Issue with virtualenv - cannot activate

I have a hell of a time using virtualenv on windows with git bash, I usually end up specifying the python binary explicitly.

If my environment is in say .env I'll call python via ./.env/Scripts/python.exe …, or in a shebang line #!./.env/Scripts/python.exe;

Both assuming your working directory contains your virtualenv (.env).

How to get the azure account tenant Id?

In the Azure CLI (I use GNU/Linux):

$ azure login  # add "-e AzureChinaCloud" if you're using Azure China

This will ask you to login via https://aka.ms/devicelogin or https://aka.ms/deviceloginchina

$ azure account show
info:    Executing command account show
data:    Name                        : BizSpark Plus
data:    ID                          : aZZZZZZZ-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-abcdef569123
data:    State                       : Enabled
data:    Tenant ID                   : 0XXXXXXX-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-123456789123
data:    Is Default                  : true
data:    Environment                 : AzureCloud

or simply:

azure account show --json | jq -r '.[0].tenantId'

or the new az:

az account show --subscription a... | jq -r '.tenantId'
az account list | jq -r '.[].tenantId'

I hope it helps

Working with SQL views in Entity Framework Core

The EF Core doesn't create DBset for the SQL views automatically in the context calss, we can add them manually as below.

public partial class LocalDBContext : DbContext
{ 

    public LocalDBContext(DbContextOptions<LocalDBContext> options) : base(options)
    {

    }

    public virtual DbSet<YourView> YourView { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Entity<YourView>(entity => {
            entity.HasKey(e => e.ID);
            entity.ToTable("YourView");
            entity.Property(e => e.Name).HasMaxLength(50);
        });
    }

}

The sample view is defined as below with few properties

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Project.Entities
{
    public partial class YourView
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int ID { get; set; }
    }
}

After adding a class for the view and DB set in the context class, you are good to use the view object through your context object in the controller.

How do I correctly upgrade angular 2 (npm) to the latest version?

If you want to install/upgrade all packages to the latest version and you are running windows you can use this in powershell.exe:

foreach($package in @("animations","common","compiler","core","forms","http","platform-browser","platform-browser-dynamic","router")) {
    npm install @angular/$package@latest -E
}

If you also use the cli, you can do this:

foreach($package in @('animations','common','compiler','core','forms','http','platform-browser','platform-browser-dynamic','router', 'cli','compiler-cli')){
    iex "npm install @angular/$package@latest -E $(If($('cli','compiler-cli').Contains($package)){'-D'})";
}

This will save the packages exact (-E), and the cli packages in devDependencies (-D)

How do I decrease the size of my sql server log file?

This is one of the best suggestion in which is done using query. Good for those who has a lot of databases just like me. Can run it using a script.

https://medium.com/@bharatdwarkani/shrinking-sql-server-db-log-file-size-sql-server-db-maintenance-7ddb0c331668

USE DatabaseName;
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (DatabaseName_Log, 1);
GO
-- Reset the database recovery model.
ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName
SET RECOVERY FULL;
GO

Setting an image for a UIButton in code

Before this would work for me I had to resize the button frame explicitly based on the image frame size.

UIImage *listImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"list_icon.png"];
UIButton *listButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

// get the image size and apply it to the button frame
CGRect listButtonFrame = listButton.frame;
listButtonFrame.size = listImage.size;
listButton.frame = listButtonFrame;

[listButton setImage:listImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[listButton addTarget:self.navigationController.parentViewController 
               action:@selector(revealToggle:) 
     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *jobsButton = 
  [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:listButton];

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = jobsButton;

What is the difference between "screen" and "only screen" in media queries?

To style for many smartphones with smaller screens, you could write:

@media screen and (max-width:480px) { … } 

To block older browsers from seeing an iPhone or Android phone style sheet, you could write:

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px;) { … }

How do I convert csv file to rdd

We can use the new DataFrameRDD for reading and writing the CSV data. There are few advantages of DataFrameRDD over NormalRDD:

  1. DataFrameRDD are bit more faster than NormalRDD since we determine the schema and which helps to optimize a lot on runtime and provide us with significant performance gain.
  2. Even if the column shifts in CSV it will automatically take the correct column as we are not hard coding the column number which was present in reading the data as textFile and then splitting it and then using the number of column to get the data.
  3. In few lines of code you can read the CSV file directly.

You will be required to have this library: Add it in build.sbt

libraryDependencies += "com.databricks" % "spark-csv_2.10" % "1.2.0"

Spark Scala code for it:

val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
val csvInPath = "/path/to/csv/abc.csv"
val df = sqlContext.read.format("com.databricks.spark.csv").option("header","true").load(csvInPath)
//format is for specifying the type of file you are reading
//header = true indicates that the first line is header in it

To convert to normal RDD by taking some of the columns from it and

val rddData = df.map(x=>Row(x.getAs("colA")))
//Do other RDD operation on it

Saving the RDD to CSV format:

val aDf = sqlContext.createDataFrame(rddData,StructType(Array(StructField("colANew",StringType,true))))
aDF.write.format("com.databricks.spark.csv").option("header","true").save("/csvOutPath/aCSVOp")

Since the header is set to true we will be getting the header name in all the output files.

Return anonymous type results?

You can return anonymous types, but it really isn't pretty.

In this case I think it would be far better to create the appropriate type. If it's only going to be used from within the type containing the method, make it a nested type.

Personally I'd like C# to get "named anonymous types" - i.e. the same behaviour as anonymous types, but with names and property declarations, but that's it.

EDIT: Others are suggesting returning dogs, and then accessing the breed name via a property path etc. That's a perfectly reasonable approach, but IME it leads to situations where you've done a query in a particular way because of the data you want to use - and that meta-information is lost when you just return IEnumerable<Dog> - the query may be expecting you to use (say) Breed rather than Ownerdue to some load options etc, but if you forget that and start using other properties, your app may work but not as efficiently as you'd originally envisaged. Of course, I could be talking rubbish, or over-optimising, etc...

How to add multiple values to a dictionary key in python?

Make the value a list, e.g.

a["abc"] = [1, 2, "bob"]

UPDATE:

There are a couple of ways to add values to key, and to create a list if one isn't already there. I'll show one such method in little steps.

key = "somekey"
a.setdefault(key, [])
a[key].append(1)

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1]}

Next, try:

key = "somekey"
a.setdefault(key, [])
a[key].append(2)

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1, 2]}

The magic of setdefault is that it initializes the value for that key if that key is not defined, otherwise it does nothing. Now, noting that setdefault returns the key you can combine these into a single line:

a.setdefault("somekey",[]).append("bob")

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1, 2, 'bob']}

You should look at the dict methods, in particular the get() method, and do some experiments to get comfortable with this.

Cannot stop or restart a docker container

I had the same problem on a windows host machine and none of the other options here worked for me. I ended up just needing to delete the physical container folder, which was located here:

C:\ProgramData\Docker\containers\[container guid]

I had stopped the docker service first just to be safe and when I restarted it, the broken containers were now gone and I was able to create new ones. I suspect the same will work on a linux host machine, but I do not know where the container folders are kept on that OS.

Use dynamic variable names in `dplyr`

Since you are dynamically building a variable name as a character value, it makes more sense to do assignment using standard data.frame indexing which allows for character values for column names. For example:

multipetal <- function(df, n) {
    varname <- paste("petal", n , sep=".")
    df[[varname]] <- with(df, Petal.Width * n)
    df
}

The mutate function makes it very easy to name new columns via named parameters. But that assumes you know the name when you type the command. If you want to dynamically specify the column name, then you need to also build the named argument.


dplyr version >= 1.0

With the latest dplyr version you can use the syntax from the glue package when naming parameters when using :=. So here the {} in the name grab the value by evaluating the expression inside.

multipetal <- function(df, n) {
  mutate(df, "petal.{n}" := Petal.Width * n)
}

dplyr version >= 0.7

dplyr starting with version 0.7 allows you to use := to dynamically assign parameter names. You can write your function as:

# --- dplyr version 0.7+---
multipetal <- function(df, n) {
    varname <- paste("petal", n , sep=".")
    mutate(df, !!varname := Petal.Width * n)
}

For more information, see the documentation available form vignette("programming", "dplyr").


dplyr (>=0.3 & <0.7)

Slightly earlier version of dplyr (>=0.3 <0.7), encouraged the use of "standard evaluation" alternatives to many of the functions. See the Non-standard evaluation vignette for more information (vignette("nse")).

So here, the answer is to use mutate_() rather than mutate() and do:

# --- dplyr version 0.3-0.5---
multipetal <- function(df, n) {
    varname <- paste("petal", n , sep=".")
    varval <- lazyeval::interp(~Petal.Width * n, n=n)
    mutate_(df, .dots= setNames(list(varval), varname))
}

dplyr < 0.3

Note this is also possible in older versions of dplyr that existed when the question was originally posed. It requires careful use of quote and setName:

# --- dplyr versions < 0.3 ---
multipetal <- function(df, n) {
    varname <- paste("petal", n , sep=".")
    pp <- c(quote(df), setNames(list(quote(Petal.Width * n)), varname))
    do.call("mutate", pp)
}
