Where does PHP's error log reside in XAMPP?

I found it in: \xampp\php\logs\php_error_log

Unlink of file Failed. Should I try again?

I faced same issue while doing 'git pull'. I tried manual housekeeping git command 'git gc' and it resolved my problem.

How do I solve this error, "error while trying to deserialize parameter"

This is happening because the web-service relies on using XmlSerializer to convert the wsdl among other things to XML, which doesn't support mixed-mode properties, like these:

public string strThing { get; private set; }

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms978420.aspx

How to localise a string inside the iOS info.plist file?

When using InfoPlist.strings file (in XCode it should be placed next to Info.plist file - real file location can be anywhere within the project probably

View in XCode

) be careful to use the key's short name for the translation.

I was trying to use Privacy - Camera Usage Description, but the working key is NSCameraUsageDescription

Swipe ListView item From right to left show delete button

An app is available that demonstrates a listview that combines both swiping-to-delete and dragging to reorder items. The code is based on Chet Haase's code for swiping-to-delete and Daniel Olshansky's code for dragging-to-reorder.

Chet's code deletes an item immediately. I improved on this by making it function more like Gmail where swiping reveals a bottom view that indicates that the item is deleted but provides an Undo button where the user has the possibility to undo the deletion. Chet's code also has a bug in it. If you have less items in the listview than the height of the listview is and you delete the last item, the last item appears to not be deleted. This was fixed in my code.

Daniel's code requires pressing long on an item. Many users find this unintuitive as it tends to be a hidden function. Instead, I modified the code to allow for a "Move" button. You simply press on the button and drag the item. This is more in line with the way the Google News app works when you reorder news topics.

The source code along with a demo app is available at: https://github.com/JohannBlake/ListViewOrderAndSwipe

Chet and Daniel are both from Google.

Chet's video on deleting items can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCHNAi9kJI4

Daniel's video on reordering items can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZIvjMgH-Q

A considerable amount of work went into gluing all this together to provide a seemless UI experience, so I'd appreciate a Like or Up Vote. Please also star the project in Github.

bootstrap jquery show.bs.modal event won't fire

What is the $$hashKey added to my JSON.stringify result

In my use case (feeding the resulting object to X2JS) the recommended approach

data = angular.toJson(source);

help to remove the $$hashKey properties, but the result could then no longer be processed by X2JS.

data = angular.copy(source);

removed the $$hashKey properties as well, but the result remained usable as a parameter for X2JS.

How to convert integer timestamp to Python datetime

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() is correct, except you are probably having timestamp in miliseconds (like in JavaScript), but fromtimestamp() expects Unix timestamp, in seconds.

Do it like that:

>>> import datetime
>>> your_timestamp = 1331856000000
>>> date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(your_timestamp / 1e3)

and the result is:

>>> date
datetime.datetime(2012, 3, 16, 1, 0)

Does it answer your question?

EDIT: J.F. Sebastian correctly suggested to use true division by 1e3 (float 1000). The difference is significant, if you would like to get precise results, thus I changed my answer. The difference results from the default behaviour of Python 2.x, which always returns int when dividing (using / operator) int by int (this is called floor division). By replacing the divisor 1000 (being an int) with the 1e3 divisor (being representation of 1000 as float) or with float(1000) (or 1000. etc.), the division becomes true division. Python 2.x returns float when dividing int by float, float by int, float by float etc. And when there is some fractional part in the timestamp passed to fromtimestamp() method, this method's result also contains information about that fractional part (as the number of microseconds).

How are "mvn clean package" and "mvn clean install" different?

package will add packaged jar or war to your target folder, We can check it when, we empty the target folder (using mvn clean) and then run mvn package.
install will do all the things that package does, additionally it will add packaged jar or war in local repository as well. We can confirm it by checking in your .m2 folder.

Height of an HTML select box (dropdown)

You can change the height of one. Don't use height="500"(Just an example number). Use the style. You can use <style>tag or just use this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <select id="option" style="height: 100px;">
    <option value="1">Option 1
    <option value="2">Option 2
  </select>
</body>
</html>

I spotlight the change:

  <select id="option" style="height: 100px;">

And even better...

style="height: 100px;">

You see that?

How to get row count in sqlite using Android?

c.getCount() returns 1 because the cursor contains a single row (the one with the real COUNT(*)). The count you need is the int value of first row in cursor.

public int getTaskCount(long tasklist_Id) {

    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor= db.rawQuery(
        "SELECT COUNT (*) FROM " + TABLE_TODOTASK + " WHERE " + KEY_TASK_TASKLISTID + "=?",
         new String[] { String.valueOf(tasklist_Id) }
    );
    int count = 0;
    if(null != cursor)
        if(cursor.getCount() > 0){
          cursor.moveToFirst();    
          count = cursor.getInt(0);
        }
        cursor.close();
    }

    db.close();
    return count;
}   

Flexbox not working in Internet Explorer 11

According to Flexbugs:

In IE 10-11, min-height declarations on flex containers work to size the containers themselves, but their flex item children do not seem to know the size of their parents. They act as if no height has been set at all.

Here are a couple of workarounds:

1. Always fill the viewport + scrollable <aside> and <section>:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html {
  height: 100%;
}

body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

header,
footer {
  background: #7092bf;
}

main {
  flex: 1;
  display: flex;
}

aside, section {
  overflow: auto;
}

aside {
  flex: 0 0 150px;
  background: #3e48cc;
}

section {
  flex: 1;
  background: #9ad9ea;
}
_x000D_
<header>
  <p>header</p>
</header>

<main>
  <aside>
    <p>aside</p>
  </aside>
  <section>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
    <p>content</p>
  </section>
</main>

<footer>
  <p>footer</p>
</footer>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

2. Fill the viewport initially + normal page scroll with more content:

_x000D_
_x000D_
html {
  height: 100%;
}

body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

header,
footer {
  background: #7092bf;
}

main {
  flex: 1 0 auto;
  display: flex;
}

aside {
  flex: 0 0 150px;
  background: #3e48cc;
}

section {
  flex: 1;
  background: #9ad9ea;
}
_x000D_
<header>
  <p>header</p>
</header>

<main>
  <aside>
    <p>aside</p>
  </aside>
  <section>

Ignore cells on Excel line graph

Not for blanks in the middle of a range, but this works for a complex chart from a start date until infinity (ie no need to adjust the chart's data source each time informatiom is added), without showing any lines for dates that have not yet been entered. As you add dates and data to the spreadsheet, the chart expands. Without it, the chart has a brain hemorrhage.

So, to count a complex range of conditions over an extended period of time but only if the date of the events is not blank :

=IF($B6<>"",(COUNTIF($O6:$O6,Q$5)),"") returns “#N/A” if there is no date in column B.

In other words, "count apples or oranges or whatever in column O (as determined by what is in Q5) but only if column B (the dates) is not blank". By returning “#N/A”, the chart will skip the "blank" rows (blank as in a zero value or rather "#N/A").

From that table of returned values you can make a chart from a date in the past to infinity

simple custom event

Like has been mentioned already the progress field needs the keyword event

public event EventHandler<Progress> progress;

But I don't think that's where you actually want your event. I think you actually want the event in TestClass. How does the following look? (I've never actually tried setting up static events so I'm not sure if the following will compile or not, but I think this gives you an idea of the pattern you should be aiming for.)

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        TestClass.progress += SetStatus;
    }

    private void SetStatus(object sender, Progress e)
    {
        label1.Text = e.Status;
    }

    private void button1_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         TestClass.Func();
    }

 }

public class TestClass
{
    public static event EventHandler<Progress> progress; 

    public static void Func()
    {
        //time consuming code
        OnProgress(new Progress("current status"));
        // time consuming code
        OnProgress(new Progress("some new status"));            
    }

    private static void OnProgress(EventArgs e) 
    {
       if (progress != null)
          progress(this, e);
    }
}


public class Progress : EventArgs
{
    public string Status { get; private set; }

    private Progress() {}

    public Progress(string status)
    {
        Status = status;
    }
}

This seems to work just fine:

Reading NFC Tags with iPhone 6 / iOS 8

At the moment, Apple has not opened any access to the embedded NFC chip to developers as suggested by many articles such as these ones :

The list goes on. The main reason seems (like lots the other hardware features added to the iPhone in the past) that Apple wants to ensure the security of such technology before releasing any API for developers to let them do whatever they want. So at first, they will use it internally for their needs only (such as Apple Pay at launch time).

"At the moment, there isn't any open access to the NFC controller," said RapidNFC, a provider of NFC tags. "There are currently no NFC APIs in the iOS 8 GM SDK".

But eventually, I think we can all agree that they will develop such API, it's only a matter of time.

JS jQuery - check if value is in array

As to your bonus question, try if (jQuery.inArray(jQuery("input:first").val(), ar) < 0)

Style input type file?

Here's a simple css only solution, that creates a consistent target area, and lets you style your faux elements however you like.

The basic idea is this:

  1. Have two "fake" elements (a text input/link) as siblings to your real file input. Absolutely position them so they're exactly on top of your target area.
  2. Wrap your file input with a div. Set overflow to hidden (so the file input doesn't spill out), and make it exactly the size that you want your target area to be.
  3. Set opacity to 0 on the file input so it's hidden but still clickable. Give it a large font size so the you can click on all portions of the target area.

Here's the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gwwar/nFLKU/

<form>
    <input id="faux" type="text" placeholder="Upload a file from your computer" />
    <a href="#" id="browse">Browse </a>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <input id="input" size="100" type="file" />
    </div>
</form>

Get the number of rows in a HTML table

The following code assumes that your table has the ID 'MyTable'

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var oRows = document.getElementById('MyTable').getElementsByTagName('tr');
var iRowCount = oRows.length;

alert('Your table has ' + iRowCount + ' rows.');
//-->
</script>

Answer taken from : http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/f771.shtml, which is the first result on google for the query : "Get the number of rows in a HTML table" ;)

How to create a fixed-size array of objects

Declare an empty SKSpriteNode, so there won't be needing for unwraping

var sprites = [SKSpriteNode](count: 64, repeatedValue: SKSpriteNode())

What is an example of the Liskov Substitution Principle?

This principle was introduced by Barbara Liskov in 1987 and extends the Open-Closed Principle by focusing on the behavior of a superclass and its subtypes.

Its importance becomes obvious when we consider the consequences of violating it. Consider an application that uses the following class.

public class Rectangle 
{ 
  private double width;

  private double height; 

  public double Width 
  { 
    get 
    { 
      return width; 
    } 
    set 
    { 
      width = value; 
    }
  } 

  public double Height 
  { 
    get 
    { 
      return height; 
    } 
    set 
    { 
      height = value; 
    } 
  } 
}

Imagine that one day, the client demands the ability to manipulate squares in addition to rectangles. Since a square is a rectangle, the square class should be derived from the Rectangle class.

public class Square : Rectangle
{
} 

However, by doing that we will encounter two problems:

A square does not need both height and width variables inherited from the rectangle and this could create a significant waste in memory if we have to create hundreds of thousands of square objects. The width and height setter properties inherited from the rectangle are inappropriate for a square since the width and height of a square are identical. In order to set both height and width to the same value, we can create two new properties as follows:

public class Square : Rectangle
{
  public double SetWidth 
  { 
    set 
    { 
      base.Width = value; 
      base.Height = value; 
    } 
  } 

  public double SetHeight 
  { 
    set 
    { 
      base.Height = value; 
      base.Width = value; 
    } 
  } 
}

Now, when someone will set the width of a square object, its height will change accordingly and vice-versa.

Square s = new Square(); 
s.SetWidth(1); // Sets width and height to 1. 
s.SetHeight(2); // sets width and height to 2. 

Let's move forward and consider this other function:

public void A(Rectangle r) 
{ 
  r.SetWidth(32); // calls Rectangle.SetWidth 
} 

If we pass a reference to a square object into this function, we would violate the LSP because the function does not work for derivatives of its arguments. The properties width and height aren't polymorphic because they aren't declared virtual in rectangle (the square object will be corrupted because the height won't be changed).

However, by declaring the setter properties to be virtual we will face another violation, the OCP. In fact, the creation of a derived class square is causing changes to the base class rectangle.

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in those .ini files - Vagrant/Ubuntu/Magento 2.0.2

Why is __dirname not defined in node REPL?

Building on the existing answers here, you could define this in your REPL:

__dirname = path.resolve(path.dirname(''));

Or:

__dirname = path.resolve();

If no path segments are passed, path.resolve() will return the absolute path of the current working directory.


Or @Jthorpe's alternatives:

__dirname = process.cwd();
__dirname = fs.realpathSync('.');
__dirname = process.env.PWD

What is [Serializable] and when should I use it?

Since the original question was about the SerializableAttribute, it should be noted that this attribute only applies when using the BinaryFormatter or SoapFormatter.

It is a bit confusing, unless you really pay attention to the details, as to when to use it and what its actual purpose is.

It has NOTHING to do with XML or JSON serialization.

Used with the SerializableAttribute are the ISerializable Interface and SerializationInfo Class. These are also only used with the BinaryFormatter or SoapFormatter.

Unless you intend to serialize your class using Binary or Soap, do not bother marking your class as [Serializable]. XML and JSON serializers are not even aware of its existence.

How to Display Selected Item in Bootstrap Button Dropdown Title

It seems to be a long issue. All we want is just implement a select tag in the input group. But the bootstrap would not do it: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/10486

the trick is just adding "btn-group" class to the parent div

html:

<div class="input-group">
  <div class="input-group-btn btn-group">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
      Product Name <span class="caret"></span>
    </button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
        <li><a href="#">A</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">B</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <input type="text" class="form-control">
  <span class="input-group-btn">
    <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Search</button>
  </span>
</div>

js:

$(".dropdown-menu li a").click(function(e){
    var selText = $(this).text();
    $(this).parents('.input-group').find('.dropdown-toggle').html(selText+' <span class="caret"></span>');       
});

String comparison in Python: is vs. ==

For all built-in Python objects (like strings, lists, dicts, functions, etc.), if x is y, then x==y is also True.

Not always. NaN is a counterexample. But usually, identity (is) implies equality (==). The converse is not true: Two distinct objects can have the same value.

Also, is it generally considered better to just use '==' by default, even when comparing int or Boolean values?

You use == when comparing values and is when comparing identities.

When comparing ints (or immutable types in general), you pretty much always want the former. There's an optimization that allows small integers to be compared with is, but don't rely on it.

For boolean values, you shouldn't be doing comparisons at all. Instead of:

if x == True:
    # do something

write:

if x:
    # do something

For comparing against None, is None is preferred over == None.

I've always liked to use 'is' because I find it more aesthetically pleasing and pythonic (which is how I fell into this trap...), but I wonder if it's intended to just be reserved for when you care about finding two objects with the same id.

Yes, that's exactly what it's for.

How do I get first element rather than using [0] in jQuery?

You can use .get(0) as well but...you shouldn't need to do that with an element found by ID, that should always be unique. I'm hoping this is just an oversight in the example...if this is the case on your actual page, you'll need to fix it so your IDs are unique, and use a class (or another attribute) instead.

.get() (like [0]) gets the DOM element, if you want a jQuery object use .eq(0) or .first() instead :)

Xcode variables

Here's a list of the environment variables. I think you might want CURRENT_VARIANT. See also BUILD_VARIANTS.

Setting user agent of a java URLConnection

HTTP Servers tend to reject old browsers and systems.

The page Tech Blog (wh): Most Common User Agents reflects the user-agent property of your current browser in section "Your user agent is:", which can be applied to set the request property "User-Agent" of a java.net.URLConnection or the system property "http.agent".

Set the Value of a Hidden field using JQuery

The selector should not be #input. That means a field with id="input" which is not your case. You want:

$('#chag_sort').val(sort2);

Or if your hidden input didn't have an unique id but only a name="chag_sort":

$('input[name="chag_sort"]').val(sort2);

Check if SQL Connection is Open or Closed

you can also use this

if (SQLCON.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
     SQLCON.Open();
}

Create a table without a header in Markdown

The following works well for me in GitHub. The first row is no longer bolded as it is not a header:

<table align="center">
    <tr>
        <td align="center"><img src="docs/img1.png?raw=true" alt="some text"></td>
        <td align="center">Some other text</td>
        <td align="center">More text</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td align="center"><img src="docs/img2.png?raw=true" alt="some text"></td>
        <td align="center">Some other text 2</td>
        <td align="center">More text 2</td>
    </tr>
</table>

SyntaxError: Unexpected Identifier in Chrome's Javascript console

The comma got eaten by the quotes!

This part:

Aside: For pasting code into the console, you can paste them in one line at a time to help you pinpoint where things went wrong ;-)

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

It seems like what you've done is imported the socket module as import socket. Therefore socket is the module. You either need to change that line to self.serv = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM), as well as every other use of the socket module, or change the import statement to from socket import socket.

Or you've got an import socket after your from socket import *:

>>> from socket import *
>>> serv = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
>>> import socket
>>> serv = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
Traceback (most recent call last):

How to form tuple column from two columns in Pandas

I'd like to add df.values.tolist(). (as long as you don't mind to get a column of lists rather than tuples)

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

size = int(1e+07)
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': np.random.rand(size), 'b': np.random.rand(size)}) 

%timeit df.values.tolist()
1.47 s ± 38.9 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

%timeit list(zip(df.a,df.b))
1.92 s ± 131 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

Maximum number of rows of CSV data in excel sheet

CSV files have no limit of rows you can add to them. Excel won't hold more that the 1 million lines of data if you import a CSV file having more lines.

Excel will actually ask you whether you want to proceed when importing more than 1 million data rows. It suggests to import the remaining data by using the text import wizard again - you will need to set the appropriate line offset.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: contains a path separator

This method opens a file in the private data area of the application. You cannot open any files in subdirectories in this area or from entirely other areas using this method. So use the constructor of the FileInputStream directly to pass the path with a directory in it.

Invalid self signed SSL cert - "Subject Alternative Name Missing"

To fix this, you need to supply an extra parameter to openssl when you're creating the cert, basically

-sha256 -extfile v3.ext

where v3.ext is a file like so, with %%DOMAIN%% replaced with the same name you use as your Common Name. More info here and over here. Note that typically you'd set the Common Name and %%DOMAIN%% to the domain you're trying to generate a cert for. So if it was www.mysupersite.com, then you'd use that for both.

v3.ext

authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = %%DOMAIN%%

Note: Scripts that address this issue, and create fully trusted ssl certs for use in Chrome, Safari and from Java clients can be found here

Another note: If all you're trying to do is stop chrome from throwing errors when viewing a self signed certificate, you can can tell Chrome to ignore all SSL errors for ALL sites by starting it with a special command line option, as detailed here on SuperUser

How to set Bullet colors in UL/LI html lists via CSS without using any images or span tags

Yet, another solution is to use a :before pseudo element with a border-radius: 50%. This will work in all browsers, including IE 8 and up.

Using the em unit allows responsiveness to font size changes. You can test this, by resizing your jsFiddle window.

ul {
    list-style: none;
    line-height: 1em;
    font-size: 3vw;
}

You can even play with the box-shadow to create some nice shadows, something that will not look nice with the content: "• " solution.

What's the difference between commit() and apply() in SharedPreferences

The docs give a pretty good explanation of the difference between apply() and commit():

Unlike commit(), which writes its preferences out to persistent storage synchronously, apply() commits its changes to the in-memory SharedPreferences immediately but starts an asynchronous commit to disk and you won't be notified of any failures. If another editor on this SharedPreferences does a regular commit() while a apply() is still outstanding, the commit() will block until all async commits are completed as well as the commit itself. As SharedPreferences instances are singletons within a process, it's safe to replace any instance of commit() with apply() if you were already ignoring the return value.

Have nginx access_log and error_log log to STDOUT and STDERR of master process

When running Nginx in a Docker container, be aware that a volume mounted over the log dir defeats the purpose of creating a softlink between the log files and stdout/stderr in your Dockerfile, as described in @Boeboe 's answer.

In that case you can either create the softlink in your entrypoint (executed after volumes are mounted) or not use a volume at all (e.g. when logs are already collected by a central logging system).

Can we instantiate an abstract class?

Actually we can not create an object of an abstract class directly. What we create is a reference variable of an abstract call. The reference variable is used to Refer to the object of the class which inherits the Abstract class i.e. the subclass of the abstract class.

How do I view executed queries within SQL Server Management Studio?

If you want SSMS to maintain a query history, use the SSMS Tool Pack add on.

If you want to monitor the SQL Server for currently running queries, use SQL PRofiler as other have already suggested.

How do you kill all current connections to a SQL Server 2005 database?

Another "kill it with fire" approach is to just restart the MSSQLSERVER service. I like to do stuff from the commandline. Pasting this exactly into CMD will do it: NET STOP MSSQLSERVER & NET START MSSQLSERVER

Or open "services.msc" and find "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" and right-click, select "restart".

This will "for sure, for sure" kill ALL connections to ALL databases running on that instance.

(I like this better than many approaches that change and change back the configuration on the server/database)

How do you convert a JavaScript date to UTC?

Using moment package, you can easily convert a date string of UTC to a new Date object:

const moment = require('moment');
let b = new Date(moment.utc('2014-02-20 00:00:00.000000'));
let utc = b.toUTCString();
b.getTime();

This specially helps when your server do not support timezone and you want to store UTC date always in server and get it back as a new Date object. Above code worked for my requirement of similar issue that this thread is for. Sharing here so that it can help others. I do not see exactly above solution in any answer. Thanks.

rails 3 validation on uniqueness on multiple attributes

In Rails 2, I would have written:

validates_uniqueness_of :zipcode, :scope => :recorded_at

In Rails 3:

validates :zipcode, :uniqueness => {:scope => :recorded_at}

For multiple attributes:

validates :zipcode, :uniqueness => {:scope => [:recorded_at, :something_else]}

Most efficient method to groupby on an array of objects

MDN has this example in their Array.reduce() documentation.

// Grouping objects by a property
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/Reduce#Grouping_objects_by_a_property#Grouping_objects_by_a_property

var people = [
  { name: 'Alice', age: 21 },
  { name: 'Max', age: 20 },
  { name: 'Jane', age: 20 }
];

function groupBy(objectArray, property) {
  return objectArray.reduce(function (acc, obj) {
    var key = obj[property];
    if (!acc[key]) {
      acc[key] = [];
    }
    acc[key].push(obj);
    return acc;
  }, {});
}

var groupedPeople = groupBy(people, 'age');
// groupedPeople is:
// { 
//   20: [
//     { name: 'Max', age: 20 }, 
//     { name: 'Jane', age: 20 }
//   ], 
//   21: [{ name: 'Alice', age: 21 }] 
// }

How to convert a factor to integer\numeric without loss of information?

From the many answers I could read, the only given way was to expand the number of variables according to the number of factors. If you have a variable "pet" with levels "dog" and "cat", you would end up with pet_dog and pet_cat.

In my case I wanted to stay with the same number of variables, by just translating the factor variable to a numeric one, in a way that can applied to many variables with many levels, so that cat=1 and dog=0 for instance.

Please find the corresponding solution below:

crime <- data.frame(city = c("SF", "SF", "NYC"),
                    year = c(1990, 2000, 1990),
                    crime = 1:3)

indx <- sapply(crime, is.factor)

crime[indx] <- lapply(crime[indx], function(x){ 
  listOri <- unique(x)
  listMod <- seq_along(listOri)
  res <- factor(x, levels=listOri)
  res <- as.numeric(res)
  return(res)
}
)

Remove all the children DOM elements in div

First of all you need to create a surface once and keep it somewhere handy. Example:

var surface = dojox.gfx.createSurface(domNode, widthInPx, heightInPx);

domNode is usually an unadorned <div>, which is used as a placeholder for a surface.

You can clear everything on the surface in one go (all existing shape objects will be invalidated, don't use them after that):

surface.clear();

All surface-related functions and methods can be found in the official documentation on dojox.gfx.Surface. Examples of use can be found in dojox/gfx/tests/.

Vertical Text Direction

If you want an alignement like

S
T
A
R
T

Then follow https://www.w3.org/International/articles/vertical-text/#upright-latin

Example:

_x000D_
_x000D_
div.vertical-sentence{_x000D_
  -ms-writing-mode: tb-rl; /* for IE */_x000D_
  -webkit-writing-mode: vertical-rl; /* for Webkit */_x000D_
  writing-mode: vertical-rl;_x000D_
  _x000D_
}_x000D_
.rotate-characters-back-to-horizontal{ _x000D_
  -webkit-text-orientation: upright;  /* for Webkit */_x000D_
  text-orientation: upright; _x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="vertical-sentence">_x000D_
  <p><span class="rotate-characters-back-to-horizontal" lang="en">Whatever</span></p>_x000D_
  <p><span class="rotate-characters-back-to-horizontal" lang="fr">Latin</span></p>_x000D_
  <p><span class="rotate-characters-back-to-horizontal" lang="hi">????????? </span></p>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note the Hindi has an accent in my example and that will be rendered as a single character. That's the only issue I faced with this solution.

Best way to do Version Control for MS Excel

After searching for ages and trying out many different tools, I've found my answer to the vba version control problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25984759/2780179

It's a simple excel addin for which the code can be found here

There are no duplicate modules after importing. It exports your code automatically, as soon as you save your workbook, without modifying any existing workbooks. It comes together with a vba code formatter.

Cannot assign requested address using ServerSocket.socketBind

The port is taken by another process. Possibly an unterminated older run of your program. Make sure your program has exited cleanly or kill it.

Bootstrap 3.0 Sliding Menu from left

Probably late but here is a plugin that can do the job : http://multi-level-push-menu.make.rs/

Also v2 can use mobile gesture such as swipe ;)

Show Console in Windows Application?

Disclaimer

There is a way to achieve this which is quite simple, but I wouldn't suggest it is a good approach for an app you are going to let other people see. But if you had some developer need to show the console and windows forms at the same time, it can be done quite easily.

This method also supports showing only the Console window, but does not support showing only the Windows Form - i.e. the Console will always be shown. You can only interact (i.e. receive data - Console.ReadLine(), Console.Read()) with the console window if you do not show the windows forms; output to Console - Console.WriteLine() - works in both modes.

This is provided as is; no guarantees this won't do something horrible later on, but it does work.

Project steps

Start from a standard Console Application.

Mark the Main method as [STAThread]

Add a reference in your project to System.Windows.Forms

Add a Windows Form to your project.

Add the standard Windows start code to your Main method:

End Result

You will have an application that shows the Console and optionally windows forms.

Sample Code

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ConsoleApplication9 {
    class Program {

        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args) {

            if (args.Length > 0 && args[0] == "console") {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            else {
                Application.EnableVisualStyles(); 
                Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); 
                Application.Run(new Form1());
            }
        }
    }
}

Form1.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ConsoleApplication9 {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            Console.WriteLine("Clicked");

Where does application data file actually stored on android device?

This is a simple way to identify the application related storage paths of a particular app.

Steps:

  1. Have the android device connected to your mac or android emulator open
  2. Open the terminal
  3. adb shell
  4. find .

The "find ." command will list all the files with their paths in the terminal.

./apex/com.android.media.swcodec
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc/init.rc
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc/seccomp_policy
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc/seccomp_policy/mediaswcodec.policy
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc/ld.config.txt
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/etc/media_codecs.xml
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/apex_manifest.json
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/[email protected]
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_common.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/[email protected]
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_vorbisdec.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_h263dec.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libhidltransport.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_h263enc.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_vndk.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/[email protected]
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libmedia_codecserviceregistrant.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libhidlbase.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_aacdec.so
./apex/com.android.media.swcodec/lib/libcodec2_soft_vp9dec.so
.....

After this, just search for your app with the bundle identifier and you can use adb pull command to download the files to your local directory.

How to make EditText not editable through XML in Android?

android:focusable="false"

android:clickable="false"

android:longClickable="false"

The "longClickable" attribute disables the long press actions that cause the "Paste" and or "Select All" options to show up as a tooltip.

Online Internet Explorer Simulators

You could try Firebug Lite

It's a pure JavaScript-implementation of Firebug that runs directly in any browser (at least in all major ones: IE6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome)

You'll still need the VM to actually run IE, but at least you'll get a quicker testing cycle.

how to set font size based on container size?

Another js alternative:

Working Example

fontsize = function () {
    var fontSize = $("#container").width() * 0.10; // 10% of container width
    $("#container h1").css('font-size', fontSize);
};
$(window).resize(fontsize);
$(document).ready(fontsize);

Or as stated in torazaburo's answer you could use svg. I put together a simple example as a proof of concept:

SVG Example

<div id="container">
    <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 13 15">
        <text x="0" y="13">X</text>
    </svg>
</div>

What techniques can be used to speed up C++ compilation times?

When I came out of college, the first real production-worthy C++ code I saw had these arcane #ifndef ... #endif directives in between them where the headers were defined. I asked the guy who was writing the code about these overarching things in a very naive fashion and was introduced to world of large-scale programming.

Coming back to the point, using directives to prevent duplicate header definitions was the first thing I learned when it came to reducing compiling times.

Return value of x = os.system(..)

os.system() returns the (encoded) process exit value. 0 means success:

On Unix, the return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the format specified for wait(). Note that POSIX does not specify the meaning of the return value of the C system() function, so the return value of the Python function is system-dependent.

The output you see is written to stdout, so your console or terminal, and not returned to the Python caller.

If you wanted to capture stdout, use subprocess.check_output() instead:

x = subprocess.check_output(['whoami'])

Getting "cannot find Symbol" in Java project in Intellij

I had the same problem, and turns out I had never completely compiled the fresh project. So right-clicking and selecting Compile'' (shift-cmd-F9 on mac) fixed it. It seems the compile on save does not 'see' non-compiled files.

Marking the src folder as source did not help in my case.

Singleton design pattern vs Singleton beans in Spring container

Singleton scope in spring means single instance in a Spring context ..
Spring container merely returns the same instance again and again for subsequent calls to get the bean.


And spring doesn't bother if the class of the bean is coded as singleton or not , in fact if the class is coded as singleton whose constructor as private, Spring use BeanUtils.instantiateClass (javadoc here) to set the constructor to accessible and invoke it.

Alternatively, we can use a factory-method attribute in bean definition like this

    <bean id="exampleBean" class="example.Singleton"  factory-method="getInstance"/>

Set markers for individual points on a line in Matplotlib

Format Instant to String

Instants are already in UTC and already have a default date format of yyyy-MM-dd. If you're happy with that and don't want to mess with time zones or formatting, you could also toString() it:

Instant instant = Instant.now();
instant.toString()
output: 2020-02-06T18:01:55.648475Z


Don't want the T and Z? (Z indicates this date is UTC. Z stands for "Zulu" aka "Zero hour offset" aka UTC):

instant.toString().replaceAll("[TZ]", " ")
output: 2020-02-06 18:01:55.663763


Want milliseconds instead of nanoseconds? (So you can plop it into a sql query):

instant.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.MILLIS).toString().replaceAll("[TZ]", " ")
output: 2020-02-06 18:01:55.664

etc.

How to exit from the application and show the home screen?

This works well for me.
Close all the previous activities as follows:

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    intent.putExtra("Exit me", true);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();

Then in MainActivity onCreate() method add this to finish the MainActivity

    setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);

    if( getIntent().getBooleanExtra("Exit me", false)){
        finish();
        return; // add this to prevent from doing unnecessary stuffs
    }

Date validation with ASP.NET validator

I think the following is the easiest way to do it.

<asp:TextBox ID="DateControl" runat="server" Visible="False"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RangeValidator ID ="rvDate" runat ="server" ControlToValidate="DateControl" ErrorMessage="Invalid Date" Type="Date" MinimumValue="01/01/1900" MaximumValue="01/01/2100" Display="Dynamic"></asp:RangeValidator>

denied: requested access to the resource is denied : docker

In my case I was pushing to an organization where I am in a team that has admin permissions to the repository.

so my push command was: docker push org-name/image-name

I could push successfully to username/image-name but not to the organization. I triple checked the permissions. Nothing worked.

The solution was to delete the repo from docker hub and push again fresh using: docker push org-name/image-name

For what its worth, I think the repo was originally pushed before the account was converted to an organization.

Creating a new column based on if-elif-else condition

When you have multiple if conditions, numpy.select is the way to go:

In [4102]: import numpy as np
In [4098]: conditions = [df.A.eq(df.B), df.A.gt(df.B), df.A.lt(df.B)]
In [4096]: choices = [0, 1, -1]

In [4100]: df['C'] = np.select(conditions, choices)

In [4101]: df
Out[4101]: 
   A  B  C
a  2  2  0
b  3  1  1
c  1  3 -1

jQuery Upload Progress and AJAX file upload

Uploading files is actually possible with AJAX these days. Yes, AJAX, not some crappy AJAX wannabes like swf or java.

This example might help you out: https://webblocks.nl/tests/ajax/file-drag-drop.html

(It also includes the drag/drop interface but that's easily ignored.)

Basically what it comes down to is this:

<input id="files" type="file" />

<script>
document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change', function(e) {
    var file = this.files[0];
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    (xhr.upload || xhr).addEventListener('progress', function(e) {
        var done = e.position || e.loaded
        var total = e.totalSize || e.total;
        console.log('xhr progress: ' + Math.round(done/total*100) + '%');
    });
    xhr.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
        console.log('xhr upload complete', e, this.responseText);
    });
    xhr.open('post', '/URL-HERE', true);
    xhr.send(file);
});
</script>

(demo: http://jsfiddle.net/rudiedirkx/jzxmro8r/)

So basically what it comes down to is this =)

xhr.send(file);

Where file is typeof Blob: http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/

Another (better IMO) way is to use FormData. This allows you to 1) name a file, like in a form and 2) send other stuff (files too), like in a form.

var fd = new FormData;
fd.append('photo1', file);
fd.append('photo2', file2);
fd.append('other_data', 'foo bar');
xhr.send(fd);

FormData makes the server code cleaner and more backward compatible (since the request now has the exact same format as normal forms).

All of it is not experimental, but very modern. Chrome 8+ and Firefox 4+ know what to do, but I don't know about any others.

This is how I handled the request (1 image per request) in PHP:

if ( isset($_FILES['file']) ) {
    $filename = basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
    $error = true;

    // Only upload if on my home win dev machine
    if ( isset($_SERVER['WINDIR']) ) {
        $path = 'uploads/'.$filename;
        $error = !move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path);
    }

    $rsp = array(
        'error' => $error, // Used in JS
        'filename' => $filename,
        'filepath' => '/tests/uploads/' . $filename, // Web accessible
    );
    echo json_encode($rsp);
    exit;
}

Error sending json in POST to web API service

Please check if you are were passing method as POST instead as GET. if so you will get same error as a you posted above.

Matching exact string with JavaScript

    {"name":0,"value":0.12791263050161572},
    {"name":1,"value":0.13158780927382124}
]};

//JSON to string conversion
var a = JSON.stringify(data);
// replace all name with "x"- global matching
var t = a.replace(/name/g,"x"); 
// replace exactly the value rather than all values
var d = t.replace(/"value"/g, '"y"');
// String to JSON conversion
var data = JSON.parse(d);

TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in ambient context

I had this error when i deleted several components while the server was on(after running the ng serve command). Although i deleted the references from the routes component and module, it didnt solve the problem. Then i followed these steps:

  1. Ended the server
  2. Restored those files
  3. Ran the ng serve command (at this point it solved the error)
  4. Ended the server
  5. Deleted the components which previously led to the error
  6. Ran the ng serve command (At this point no error as well).

Using union and count(*) together in SQL query

Is your goal...

  1. To count all the instances of "Bob Jones" in both tables (for example)
  2. To count all the instances of "Bob Jones" in Results in one row and all the instances of "Bob Jones" in Archive_Results in a separate row?

Assuming it's #1 you'd want something like...

SELECT name, COUNT(*) FROM
(SELECT name FROM Results UNION ALL SELECT name FROM Archive_Results)
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY name

addID in jQuery?

do you mean a method?

$('div.foo').attr('id', 'foo123');

Just be careful that you don't set multiple elements to the same ID.

Extract regression coefficient values

Just pass your regression model into the following function:

    plot_coeffs <- function(mlr_model) {
      coeffs <- coefficients(mlr_model)
      mp <- barplot(coeffs, col="#3F97D0", xaxt='n', main="Regression Coefficients")
      lablist <- names(coeffs)
      text(mp, par("usr")[3], labels = lablist, srt = 45, adj = c(1.1,1.1), xpd = TRUE, cex=0.6)
    }

Use as follows:

model <- lm(Petal.Width ~ ., data = iris)

plot_coeffs(model)

Oracle SQL Developer: Failure - Test failed: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection?

I had a similar issue where I also continuously got the same error. I tried many things like changing the listener port number, turning off the firewall etc. Finally I was able to resolve the issue by changing listener.ora file. I changed the following line:

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))

to

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521)) 

I also added an entry in the /etc/hosts file.

you can use Oracle net manager to change the above line in listener.ora file. See Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide for more information on how to do it using net manager.

Also you can use the service name (database_name.domain_name) instead of SID while making the connnection.

I Hope it helps.

How to print to stderr in Python?

Best TCP port number range for internal applications

I decided to download the assigned port numbers from IANA, filter out the used ports, and sort each "Unassigned" range in order of most ports available, descending. This did not work, since the csv file has ranges marked as "Unassigned" that overlap other port number reservations. I manually expanded the ranges of assigned port numbers, leaving me with a list of all assigned port numbers. I then sorted that list and generated my own list of unassigned ranges.

Since this stackoverflow.com page ranked very high in my search about the topic, I figured I'd post the largest ranges here for anyone else who is interested. These are for both TCP and UDP where the number of ports in the range is at least 500.

How to make link not change color after visited?

Text decoration affects the underline, not the color.

To set the visited color to the same as the default, try:

a { 
    color: blue;
}

Or

a {
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:link, a:visited {
    color: blue;
}
a:hover {
    color: red;
}

'cout' was not declared in this scope

Put the following code before int main():

using namespace std;

And you will be able to use cout.

For example:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    char t = 'f';
    char *t1;
    char **t2;
    cout<<t;        
    return 0;
}

Now take a moment and read up on what cout is and what is going on here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/cout/


Further, while its quick to do and it works, this is not exactly a good advice to simply add using namespace std; at the top of your code. For detailed correct approach, please read the answers to this related SO question.

With relevant flags

   -R, -r, --recursive
          Read  all  files  under  each  directory,  recursively;  this is
          equivalent to the -d recurse option.
   --include=GLOB
          Search only files whose base name matches GLOB  (using  wildcard
          matching as described under --exclude).

Switch case on type c#

Update C# 7

Yes: Source

switch(shape)
{
    case Circle c:
        WriteLine($"circle with radius {c.Radius}");
        break;
    case Rectangle s when (s.Length == s.Height):
        WriteLine($"{s.Length} x {s.Height} square");
        break;
    case Rectangle r:
        WriteLine($"{r.Length} x {r.Height} rectangle");
        break;
    default:
        WriteLine("<unknown shape>");
        break;
    case null:
        throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(shape));
}

Prior to C# 7

No.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/peterhal/archive/2005/07/05/435760.aspx

We get a lot of requests for addditions to the C# language and today I'm going to talk about one of the more common ones - switch on type. Switch on type looks like a pretty useful and straightforward feature: Add a switch-like construct which switches on the type of the expression, rather than the value. This might look something like this:

switch typeof(e) { 
        case int:    ... break; 
        case string: ... break; 
        case double: ... break; 
        default:     ... break; 
}

This kind of statement would be extremely useful for adding virtual method like dispatch over a disjoint type hierarchy, or over a type hierarchy containing types that you don't own. Seeing an example like this, you could easily conclude that the feature would be straightforward and useful. It might even get you thinking "Why don't those #*&%$ lazy C# language designers just make my life easier and add this simple, timesaving language feature?"

Unfortunately, like many 'simple' language features, type switch is not as simple as it first appears. The troubles start when you look at a more significant, and no less important, example like this:

class C {}
interface I {}
class D : C, I {}

switch typeof(e) {
case C: … break;
case I: … break;
default: … break;
}

Delete first character of a string in Javascript

Did you try the substring function?

string = string.indexOf(0) == '0' ? string.substring(1) : string;

Here's a reference - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substring

And you can always do this for multiple 0s:

while(string.indexOf(0) == '0')
{
    string = string.substring(1);
}

Sizing elements to percentage of screen width/height

Use the LayoutBuilder Widget that will give you constraints that you can use to obtain the height that excludes the AppBar and the padding. Then use a SizedBox and provide the width and height using the constraints from the LayoutBuilder

return LayoutBuilder(builder: (context2, constraints) {
  return Column(
    children: <Widget>[
      SizedBox(
        width: constraints.maxWidth,
        height: constraints.maxHeight,
        ...

update listview dynamically with adapter

add and remove methods are easier to use. They update the data in the list and call notifyDataSetChanged in background.

Sample code:

adapter.add("your object");
adapter.remove("your object");

How do you rotate a two dimensional array?

There are tons of good code here but I just want to show what's going on geometrically so you can understand the code logic a little better. Here is how I would approach this.

first of all, do not confuse this with transposition which is very easy..

the basica idea is to treat it as layers and we rotate one layer at a time..

say we have a 4x4

1   2   3   4
5   6   7   8
9   10  11  12
13  14  15  16

after we rotate it clockwise by 90 we get

13  9   5   1
14  10  6   2   
15  11  7   3
16  12  8   4

so let's decompose this, first we rotate the 4 corners essentially

1           4


13          16

then we rotate the following diamond which is sort of askew

    2
            8
9       
        15

and then the 2nd skewed diamond

        3
5           
            12
    14

so that takes care of the outer edge so essentially we do that one shell at a time until

finally the middle square (or if it's odd just the final element which does not move)

6   7
10  11

so now let's figure out the indices of each layer, assume we always work with the outermost layer, we are doing

[0,0] -> [0,n-1], [0,n-1] -> [n-1,n-1], [n-1,n-1] -> [n-1,0], and [n-1,0] -> [0,0]
[0,1] -> [1,n-1], [1,n-2] -> [n-1,n-2], [n-1,n-2] -> [n-2,0], and [n-2,0] -> [0,1]
[0,2] -> [2,n-2], [2,n-2] -> [n-1,n-3], [n-1,n-3] -> [n-3,0], and [n-3,0] -> [0,2]

so on and so on until we are halfway through the edge

so in general the pattern is

How to convert byte array to string

Assuming that you are using UTF-8 encoding:

string convert = "This is the string to be converted";

// From string to byte array
byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(convert);

// From byte array to string
string s = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

What's with the dollar sign ($"string")

It's the new feature in C# 6 called Interpolated Strings.

The easiest way to understand it is: an interpolated string expression creates a string by replacing the contained expressions with the ToString representations of the expressions' results.

For more details about this, please take a look at MSDN.

Now, think a little bit more about it. Why this feature is great?

For example, you have class Point:

public class Point
{
    public int X { get; set; }

    public int Y { get; set; }
}

Create 2 instances:

var p1 = new Point { X = 5, Y = 10 };
var p2 = new Point { X = 7, Y = 3 };

Now, you want to output it to the screen. The 2 ways that you usually use:

Console.WriteLine("The area of interest is bounded by (" + p1.X + "," + p1.Y + ") and (" + p2.X + "," + p2.Y + ")");

As you can see, concatenating string like this makes the code hard to read and error-prone. You may use string.Format() to make it nicer:

Console.WriteLine(string.Format("The area of interest is bounded by({0},{1}) and ({2},{3})", p1.X, p1.Y, p2.X, p2.Y));

This creates a new problem:

  1. You have to maintain the number of arguments and index yourself. If the number of arguments and index are not the same, it will generate a runtime error.

For those reasons, we should use new feature:

Console.WriteLine($"The area of interest is bounded by ({p1.X},{p1.Y}) and ({p2.X},{p2.Y})");

The compiler now maintains the placeholders for you so you don’t have to worry about indexing the right argument because you simply place it right there in the string.

How to split a list by comma not space

You can use:

cat f.csv | sed 's/,/ /g' |  awk '{print $1 " / " $4}'

or

echo "Hello,World,Questions,Answers,bash shell,script" | sed 's/,/ /g' |  awk '{print $1 " / " $4}'

This is the part that replace comma with space

sed 's/,/ /g'

How do I make a relative reference to another workbook in Excel?

CSS how to make scrollable list

Another solution would be as below where the list is placed under a drop-down button.

  <button class="btn dropdown-toggle btn-primary btn-sm" data-toggle="dropdown"
    >Markets<span class="caret"></span></button>

    <ul class="dropdown-menu", style="height:40%; overflow:hidden; overflow-y:scroll;">
      {{ form.markets }}
    </ul>

Printing column separated by comma using Awk command line

A simple, although -less solution in :

while IFS=, read -r a a a b; do echo "$a"; done <inputfile

It works faster for small files (<100 lines) then as it uses less resources (avoids calling the expensive fork and execve system calls).

EDIT from Ed Morton (sorry for hi-jacking the answer, I don't know if there's a better way to address this):

To put to rest the myth that shell will run faster than awk for small files:

$ wc -l file
99 file

$ time while IFS=, read -r a a a b; do echo "$a"; done <file >/dev/null

real    0m0.016s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.015s

$ time awk -F, '{print $3}' file >/dev/null

real    0m0.016s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.015s

I expect if you get a REALY small enough file then you will see the shell script run in a fraction of a blink of an eye faster than the awk script but who cares?

And if you don't believe that it's harder to write robust shell scripts than awk scripts, look at this bug in the shell script you posted:

$ cat file
a,b,-e,d
$ cut -d, -f3 file
-e
$ awk -F, '{print $3}' file
-e
$ while IFS=, read -r a a a b; do echo "$a"; done <file

Algorithm to return all combinations of k elements from n

Here is a Lisp approach using a macro. This works in Common Lisp and should work in other Lisp dialects.

The code below creates 'n' nested loops and executes an arbitrary chunk of code (stored in the body variable) for each combination of 'n' elements from the list lst. The variable var points to a list containing the variables used for the loops.

(defmacro do-combinations ((var lst num) &body body)
  (loop with syms = (loop repeat num collect (gensym))
        for i on syms
        for k = `(loop for ,(car i) on (cdr ,(cadr i))
                         do (let ((,var (list ,@(reverse syms)))) (progn ,@body)))
                then `(loop for ,(car i) on ,(if (cadr i) `(cdr ,(cadr i)) lst) do ,k)
        finally (return k)))

Let's see...

(macroexpand-1 '(do-combinations (p '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7) 4) (pprint (mapcar #'car p))))

(LOOP FOR #:G3217 ON '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7) DO
 (LOOP FOR #:G3216 ON (CDR #:G3217) DO
  (LOOP FOR #:G3215 ON (CDR #:G3216) DO
   (LOOP FOR #:G3214 ON (CDR #:G3215) DO
    (LET ((P (LIST #:G3217 #:G3216 #:G3215 #:G3214)))
     (PROGN (PPRINT (MAPCAR #'CAR P))))))))

(do-combinations (p '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7) 4) (pprint (mapcar #'car p)))

(1 2 3 4)
(1 2 3 5)
(1 2 3 6)
...

Since combinations are not stored by default, storage is kept to a minimum. The possibility of choosing the body code instead of storing all results also affords more flexibility.

Python Anaconda - How to Safely Uninstall

Removing the Anaconda directory helps, but I don't think that's a good idea as you might need to use anaconda sometimes in near future. So, as suggested by mwaskom, anaconda installer automatically adds PATH variable which points to anaconda/bin directory in the ~/.bashrc file.

It looks like this

PATH="/home/linuxsagar/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

So, just comment out the line (add # in the beginning of the line). Then reload the ~/.bashrc file executing source ~/.bashrc

Now, verify the changes executing which python in the new terminal.

Android center view in FrameLayout doesn't work

I'd suggest a RelativeLayout instead of a FrameLayout.

Assuming that you want to have the TextView always below the ImageView I'd use following layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:visibility="visible"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_below="@id/imageview"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/hello"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Note that if you set the visibility of an element to gone then the space that element would consume is gone whereas when you use invisible instead the space it'd consume will be preserved.

If you want to have the TextView on top of the ImageView then simply leave out the android:layout_alignParentTop or set it to false and on the TextView leave out the android:layout_below="@id/imageview" attribute. Like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:visibility="visible"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/hello"/>
</RelativeLayout>

I hope this is what you were looking for.

What is the difference between static func and class func in Swift?

Both the static and class keywords allow us to attach methods to a class rather than to instances of a class. For example, you might create a Student class with properties such as name and age, then create a static method numberOfStudents that is owned by the Student class itself rather than individual instances.

Where static and class differ is how they support inheritance. When you make a static method it becomes owned by the class and can't be changed by subclasses, whereas when you use class it may be overridden if needed.

Here is an Example code:

  class Vehicle {
    static func getCurrentSpeed() -> Int {
        return 0
    }

    class func getCurrentNumberOfPassengers() -> Int {
        return 0
    } 

  }

  class Bicycle: Vehicle {
    //This is not allowed
    //Compiler error: "Cannot override static method"
  //  static override func getCurrentSpeed() -> Int {
  //        return 15
  //  }

      class override func getCurrentNumberOfPassengers() -> Int {
        return 1
      }
  }

Is embedding background image data into CSS as Base64 good or bad practice?

If you reference that image just once, I don’t see a problem to embed it into your CSS file. But once you use more than one image or need to reference it multiple times in your CSS, you might consider using a single image map instead you can then crop your single images from (see CSS Sprites).

Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. - when following mvc3 asp.net tutorial

This happened to me because I created a new project which was trying to use System.Web.Providers DefaultMembershipProvider for membership.

I had to update the provider and connection string (since this provider seems to have some weird connection string requirements) to get it working.

What is the Sign Off feature in Git for?

There are some nice answers on this question. I’ll try to add a more broad answer, namely about what these kinds of lines/headers/trailers are about in current practice. Not so much about the sign-off header in particular (it’s not the only one).

Headers or trailers (?1) like “sign-off” (?2) is, in current practice in projects like Git and Linux, effectively structured metadata for the commit. These are all appended to the end of the commit message, after the “free form” (unstructured) part of the body of the message. These are token–value (or key–value) pairs typically delimited by a colon and a space (:?).

Like I mentioned, “sign-off” is not the only trailer in current practice. See for example this commit, which has to do with “Dirty Cow”:

 mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()
 This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
 (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
 get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
 problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

 In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
 fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better).  The
 s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
 software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9.  Earlier kernels will
 have to look at the page state itself.

 Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
 theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

 To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
 we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
 is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
 the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.

Moral of the story

It is my impression that, although the initial motivation for this particular metadata was some legal issues (judging by the other answers), the practice of such metadata has progressed beyond just dealing with the case of forming a chain of authorship.

How to change button color with tkinter

When you do self.button = Button(...).grid(...), what gets assigned to self.button is the result of the grid() command, not a reference to the Button object created.

You need to assign your self.button variable before packing/griding it. It should look something like this:

self.button = Button(self,text="Click Me",command=self.color_change,bg="blue")
self.button.grid(row = 2, column = 2, sticky = W)

Difference between malloc and calloc?

calloc() gives you a zero-initialized buffer, while malloc() leaves the memory uninitialized.

For large allocations, most calloc implementations under mainstream OSes will get known-zeroed pages from the OS (e.g. via POSIX mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS) or Windows VirtualAlloc) so it doesn't need to write them in user-space. This is how normal malloc gets more pages from the OS as well; calloc just takes advantage of the OS's guarantee.

This means calloc memory can still be "clean" and lazily-allocated, and copy-on-write mapped to a system-wide shared physical page of zeros. (Assuming a system with virtual memory.)

Some compilers even can optimize malloc + memset(0) into calloc for you, but you should use calloc explicitly if you want the memory to read as 0.

If you aren't going to ever read memory before writing it, use malloc so it can (potentially) give you dirty memory from its internal free list instead of getting new pages from the OS. (Or instead of zeroing a block of memory on the free list for a small allocation).


Embedded implementations of calloc may leave it up to calloc itself to zero memory if there's no OS, or it's not a fancy multi-user OS that zeros pages to stop information leaks between processes.

On embedded Linux, malloc could mmap(MAP_UNINITIALIZED|MAP_ANONYMOUS), which is only enabled for some embedded kernels because it's insecure on a multi-user system.

Push JSON Objects to array in localStorage

As of now, you can only store string values in localStorage. You'll need to serialize the array object and then store it in localStorage.

For example:

localStorage.setItem('session', a.join('|'));

or

localStorage.setItem('session', JSON.stringify(a));

Convert char array to string use C

Assuming array is a character array that does not end in \0, you will want to use strncpy:

char * strncpy(char * destination, const char * source, size_t num);

like so:

strncpy(string, array, 20);
string[20] = '\0'

Then string will be a null terminated C string, as desired.

Android - save/restore fragment state

In order to save the Fragment state you need to implement onSaveInstanceState(): "Also like an activity, you can retain the state of a fragment using a Bundle, in case the activity's process is killed and you need to restore the fragment state when the activity is recreated. You can save the state during the fragment's onSaveInstanceState() callback and restore it during either onCreate(), onCreateView(), or onActivityCreated(). For more information about saving state, see the Activities document."

Downloading a Google font and setting up an offline site that uses it

Just go to Google Fonts - http://www.google.com/fonts/ , add the font you like to your collection, and press the download button. And then just use the @fontface to connect this font to your web page. Btw, if you open the link you are using, you'll see an example of using @fontface

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,400,600,300

For an example

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 300;
  src: local('Open Sans Light'), local('OpenSans-Light'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/opensans/v6/DXI1ORHCpsQm3Vp6mXoaTaRDOzjiPcYnFooOUGCOsRk.woff) format('woff');
}

Just change the url address to the local link on the font file, you've downloaded.

You can do it even easier.

Just download the file, you've linked:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,400,600,300

Name it opensans.css or so.

Then just change the links in url() to your path to font files.

And then replace your example string with:

<link href='opensans.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Maximum size for a SQL Server Query? IN clause? Is there a Better Approach

The SQL Server Maximums are disclosed http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx (this is the 2008 version)

A SQL Query can be a varchar(max) but is shown as limited to 65,536 * Network Packet size, but even then what is most likely to trip you up is the 2100 parameters per query. If SQL chooses to parameterize the literal values in the in clause, I would think you would hit that limit first, but I havn't tested it.

Edit : Test it, even under forced parameteriztion it survived - I knocked up a quick test and had it executing with 30k items within the In clause. (SQL Server 2005)

At 100k items, it took some time then dropped with:

Msg 8623, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer Support Services for more information.

So 30k is possible, but just because you can do it - does not mean you should :)

Edit : Continued due to additional question.

50k worked, but 60k dropped out, so somewhere in there on my test rig btw.

In terms of how to do that join of the values without using a large in clause, personally I would create a temp table, insert the values into that temp table, index it and then use it in a join, giving it the best opportunities to optimse the joins. (Generating the index on the temp table will create stats for it, which will help the optimiser as a general rule, although 1000 GUIDs will not exactly find stats too useful.)

Replace Multiple String Elements in C#

Quicker - no. More effective - yes, if you will use the StringBuilder class. With your implementation each operation generates a copy of a string which under circumstances may impair performance. Strings are immutable objects so each operation just returns a modified copy.

If you expect this method to be actively called on multiple Strings of significant length, it might be better to "migrate" its implementation onto the StringBuilder class. With it any modification is performed directly on that instance, so you spare unnecessary copy operations.

public static class StringExtention
{
    public static string clean(this string s)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder (s);

        sb.Replace("&", "and");
        sb.Replace(",", "");
        sb.Replace("  ", " ");
        sb.Replace(" ", "-");
        sb.Replace("'", "");
        sb.Replace(".", "");
        sb.Replace("eacute;", "é");

        return sb.ToString().ToLower();
    }
}

Can you test google analytics on a localhost address?

An easier tool to monitor the tracking tags is to use the Chrome extension (probably available, or the equivalent for other browsers) - Google Tag Assistant. This will show what tags are firing, what problems it has found, and even breaks out stuff like eCommerce values for easy reading. Also works with the Google Tag Manager, and can handle multiple sets of tags on the page.

MySQL: can't access root account

You can use the init files. Check the MySQL official documentation on How to Reset the Root Password (including comments for alternative solutions).

So basically using init files, you can add any SQL queries that you need for fixing your access (such as GRAND, CREATE, FLUSH PRIVILEGES, etc.) into init file (any file).

Here is my example of recovering root account:

echo "CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';" > your_init_file.sql
echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;" >> your_init_file.sql 
echo "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" >> your_init_file.sql

and after you've created your file, you can run:

killall mysqld
mysqld_safe --init-file=$PWD/your_init_file.sql

then to check if this worked, press Ctrl+Z and type: bg to run the process from the foreground into the background, then verify your access by:

mysql -u root -proot
mysql> show grants;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for root@localhost                                                                                   |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*81F5E21E35407D884A6CD4A731AEBFB6AF209E1B' |

python to arduino serial read & write

First you have to install a module call Serial. To do that go to the folder call Scripts which is located in python installed folder. If you are using Python 3 version it's normally located in location below,

C:\Python34\Scripts  

Once you open that folder right click on that folder with shift key. Then click on 'open command window here'. After that cmd will pop up. Write the below code in that cmd window,

pip install PySerial

and press enter.after that PySerial module will be installed. Remember to install the module u must have an INTERNET connection.


after successfully installed the module open python IDLE and write down the bellow code and run it.

import serial
# "COM11" is the port that your Arduino board is connected.set it to port that your are using        
ser = serial.Serial("COM11", 9600)
while True:
    cc=str(ser.readline())
    print(cc[2:][:-5])   

Moving from JDK 1.7 to JDK 1.8 on Ubuntu

How to loop through file names returned by find?

You can store your find output in array if you wish to use the output later as:

array=($(find . -name "*.txt"))

Now to print the each element in new line, you can either use for loop iterating to all the elements of array, or you can use printf statement.

for i in ${array[@]};do echo $i; done

or

printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}"

You can also use:

for file in "`find . -name "*.txt"`"; do echo "$file"; done

This will print each filename in newline

To only print the find output in list form, you can use either of the following:

find . -name "*.txt" -print 2>/dev/null

or

find . -name "*.txt" -print | grep -v 'Permission denied'

This will remove error messages and only give the filename as output in new line.

If you wish to do something with the filenames, storing it in array is good, else there is no need to consume that space and you can directly print the output from find.

Sync data between Android App and webserver

If you write this yourself these are some of the points to keep in mind

Proper authentication between the device and the Sync Server

A sync protocol between the device and the server. It will usually go in 3 phases, authentication, data exchange, status exchange (which operations worked and which failed)

Pick your payload format. I suggest SyncML based XML mixed with JSON based format to represent the actual data. So SyncML for the protocol, and JSON for the actual data being exchanged. Using JSON Array while manipulating the data is always preferred as it is easy to access data using JSON Array.

Keeping track of data changes on both client and server. You can maintain a changelog of ids that change and pick them up during a sync session. Also, clear the changelog as the objects are successfully synchronized. You can also use a boolean variable to confirm the synchronization status, i.e. last time of sync. It will be helpful for end users to identify the time when last sync is done.

Need to have a way to communicate from the server to the device to start a sync session as data changes on the server. You can use C2DM or write your own persistent tcp based communication. The tcp approach is a lot seamless

A way to replicate data changes across multiple devices

And last but not the least, a way to detect and handle conflicts

Hope this helps as a good starting point.

Do something if screen width is less than 960 px

// Adds and removes body class depending on screen width.
function screenClass() {
    if($(window).innerWidth() > 960) {
        $('body').addClass('big-screen').removeClass('small-screen');
    } else {
        $('body').addClass('small-screen').removeClass('big-screen');
    }
}

// Fire.
screenClass();

// And recheck when window gets resized.
$(window).bind('resize',function(){
    screenClass();
});

static linking only some libraries

The problem as I understand it is as follows. You have several libraries, some static, some dynamic and some both static and dynamic. gcc's default behavior is to link "mostly dynamic". That is, gcc links to dynamic libraries when possible but otherwise falls back to static libraries. When you use the -static option to gcc the behavior is to only link static libraries and exit with an error if no static library can be found, even if there is an appropriate dynamic library.

Another option, which I have on several occasions wished gcc had, is what I call -mostly-static and is essentially the opposite of -dynamic (the default). -mostly-static would, if it existed, prefer to link against static libraries but would fall back to dynamic libraries.

This option does not exist but it can be emulated with the following algorithm:

  1. Constructing the link command line with out including -static.

  2. Iterate over the dynamic link options.

  3. Accumulate library paths, i.e. those options of the form -L<lib_dir> in a variable <lib_path>

  4. For each dynamic link option, i.e. those of the form -l<lib_name>, run the command gcc <lib_path> -print-file-name=lib<lib_name>.a and capture the output.

  5. If the command prints something other than what you passed, it will be the full path to the static library. Replace the dynamic library option with the full path to the static library.

Rinse and repeat until you've processed the entire link command line. Optionally the script can also take a list of library names to exclude from static linking.

The following bash script seems to do the trick:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 [--exclude <lib_name>]. . . <link_command>"
fi

exclude=()
lib_path=()

while [ $# -ne 0 ]; do
    case "$1" in
        -L*)
            if [ "$1" == -L ]; then
                shift
                LPATH="-L$1"
            else
                LPATH="$1"
            fi

            lib_path+=("$LPATH")
            echo -n "\"$LPATH\" "
            ;;

        -l*)
            NAME="$(echo $1 | sed 's/-l\(.*\)/\1/')"

            if echo "${exclude[@]}" | grep " $NAME " >/dev/null; then
                echo -n "$1 "
            else
                LIB="$(gcc $lib_path -print-file-name=lib"$NAME".a)"
                if [ "$LIB" == lib"$NAME".a ]; then
                    echo -n "$1 "
                else
                    echo -n "\"$LIB\" "
                fi
            fi
            ;;

        --exclude)
            shift
            exclude+=(" $1 ")
            ;;

        *) echo -n "$1 "
    esac

    shift
done

echo

For example:

mostlyStatic gcc -o test test.c -ldl -lpthread

on my system returns:

gcc -o test test.c "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.a" "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.a"

or with an exclusion:

mostlyStatic --exclude dl gcc -o test test.c -ldl -lpthread

I then get:

gcc -o test test.c -ldl "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.a"

Javascript how to parse JSON array

Javascript has a built in JSON parse for strings, which I think is what you have:

var myObject = JSON.parse("my json string");

to use this with your example would be:

var jsonData = JSON.parse(myMessage);
for (var i = 0; i < jsonData.counters.length; i++) {
    var counter = jsonData.counters[i];
    console.log(counter.counter_name);
}

Here is a working example

EDIT: There is a mistake in your use of for loop (I missed this on my first read, credit to @Evert for the spot). using a for-in loop will set the var to be the property name of the current loop, not the actual data. See my updated loop above for correct usage

IMPORTANT: the JSON.parse method wont work in old old browsers - so if you plan to make your website available through some sort of time bending internet connection, this could be a problem! If you really are interested though, here is a support chart (which ticks all my boxes).

How to convert numbers between hexadecimal and decimal

Try using BigNumber in C# - Represents an arbitrarily large signed integer.

Program

using System.Numerics;
...
var bigNumber = BigInteger.Parse("837593454735734579347547357233757342857087879423437472347757234945743");
Console.WriteLine(bigNumber.ToString("X"));

Output

4F30DC39A5B10A824134D5B18EEA3707AC854EE565414ED2E498DCFDE1A15DA5FEB6074AE248458435BD417F06F674EB29A2CFECF

Possible Exceptions,

ArgumentNullException - value is null.

FormatException - value is not in the correct format.

Conclusion

You can convert string and store a value in BigNumber without constraints about the size of the number unless the string is empty and non-analphabets

Using "&times" word in html changes to ×

You need to escape the ampersand:

<div class="test">&amp;times</div>

&times means a multiplication sign. (Technically it should be &times; but lenient browsers let you omit the ;.)

How can javascript upload a blob?

2019 Update

This updates the answers with the latest Fetch API and doesn't need jQuery.

Disclaimer: doesn't work on IE, Opera Mini and older browsers. See caniuse.

Basic Fetch

It could be as simple as:

  fetch(`https://example.com/upload.php`, {method:"POST", body:blobData})
                .then(response => console.log(response.text()))

Fetch with Error Handling

After adding error handling, it could look like:

fetch(`https://example.com/upload.php`, {method:"POST", body:blobData})
            .then(response => {
                if (response.ok) return response;
                else throw Error(`Server returned ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`)
            })
            .then(response => console.log(response.text()))
            .catch(err => {
                alert(err);
            });

PHP Code

This is the server-side code in upload.php.

<?php    
    // gets entire POST body
    $data = file_get_contents('php://input');
    // write the data out to the file
    $fp = fopen("path/to/file", "wb");

    fwrite($fp, $data);
    fclose($fp);
?>

Save bitmap to location

I know this question is old, but now we can achieve the same result without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Instead of we can use File provider.

private fun storeBitmap(bitmap: Bitmap, file: File){
        requireContext().getUriForFile(file)?.run {
            requireContext().contentResolver.openOutputStream(this)?.run {
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, this)
                close()
            }
        }
    }

How to retrieve file from provider ?

fun Context.getUriForFile(file: File): Uri? {
        return FileProvider.getUriForFile(
            this,
            "$packageName.fileprovider",
            file
        )
    }

Also do not forget register your provider in Android manifest

<provider
        android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/file_paths"/>
    </provider>

How to put scroll bar only for modal-body?

Adding on to Carlos Calla's great answer.

The height of .modal-body must be set, BUT you can use media queries to make sure it's appropriate for the screen size.

.modal-body{
    height: 250px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

@media (min-height: 500px) {
    .modal-body { height: 400px; }
}

@media (min-height: 800px) {
    .modal-body { height: 600px; }
}

CAST DECIMAL to INT

The CAST() function does not support the "official" data type "INT" in MySQL, it's not in the list of supported types. With MySQL, "SIGNED" (or "UNSIGNED") could be used instead:

CAST(columnName AS SIGNED)

However, this seems to be MySQL-specific (not standardized), so it may not work with other databases. At least this document (Second Informal Review Draft) ISO/IEC 9075:1992, Database does not list "SIGNED"/"UNSIGNED" in section 4.4 Numbers.

But DECIMAL is both standardized and supported by MySQL, so the following should work for MySQL (tested) and other databases:

CAST(columnName AS DECIMAL(0))

According to the MySQL docs:

If the scale is 0, DECIMAL values contain no decimal point or fractional part.

Format number as percent in MS SQL Server

SELECT cast( cast(round(37.0/38.0,2) AS DECIMAL(18,2)) as varchar(100)) + ' %'

RESULT:  0.97 %

bower proxy configuration

Inside your local project open the .bowerrc that contains:

{
   "directory": "bower_components"
 }

and add the following code-line:

{
   "directory": "bower_components",
  "proxy": "http://yourProxy:yourPort",
  "https-proxy":"http://yourProxy:yourPort"
}

bower version: 1.7.1

How to create a Java / Maven project that works in Visual Studio Code?

This is not a particularly good answer as it explains how to run your java code n VS Code and not necessarily a Maven project, but it worked for me because I could not get around to doing the manual configuration myself. I decided to use this method instead since it is easier and faster.

Install VSCode (and for windows, set your environment variables), then install vscode:extension/vscjava.vscode-java-pack as detailed above, and then install the code runner extension pack, which basically sets up the whole process (in the background) as explained in the accepted answer above and then provides a play button to run your java code when you're ready.

This was all explained in this video.

Again, this is not the best solution, but if you want to cut to the chase, you may find this answer useful.

Calculating how many days are between two dates in DB2?

values timestampdiff (16, char( 
    timestamp(current timestamp + 1 year + 2 month - 3 day)- 
    timestamp(current timestamp)))
1
=
422



values timestampdiff (16, char( 
    timestamp('2012-03-08-00.00.00')- 
    timestamp('2011-12-08-00.00.00')))
1

90

---------- EDIT BY galador

SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(16, CHAR(CURRENT TIMESTAMP - TIMESTAMP_FORMAT(CHDLM, 'YYYYMMDD'))
FROM CHCART00
WHERE CHSTAT = '05'

EDIT

As it has been pointed out by X-Zero, this function returns only an estimate. This is true. For accurate results I would use the following to get the difference in days between two dates a and b:

SELECT days (current date) - days (date(TIMESTAMP_FORMAT(CHDLM, 'YYYYMMDD')))
FROM CHCART00 
WHERE CHSTAT = '05';

Limit Decimal Places in Android EditText

Simple Helper class is here to prevent the user entering more than 2 digits after decimal :

public class CostFormatter  implements TextWatcher {

private final EditText costEditText;

public CostFormatter(EditText costEditText) {
    this.costEditText = costEditText;
}

@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}

@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}

@Override
public synchronized void afterTextChanged(final Editable text) {
    String cost = text.toString().trim();

    if(!cost.endsWith(".") && cost.contains(".")){
        String numberBeforeDecimal = cost.split("\\.")[0];
        String numberAfterDecimal = cost.split("\\.")[1];

        if(numberAfterDecimal.length() > 2){
            numberAfterDecimal = numberAfterDecimal.substring(0, 2);
        }
        cost = numberBeforeDecimal + "." + numberAfterDecimal;
    }
    costEditText.removeTextChangedListener(this);
    costEditText.setText(cost);
    costEditText.setSelection(costEditText.getText().toString().trim().length());
    costEditText.addTextChangedListener(this);
}
}

A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*)

This exception occurred in my application and was rather misleading.

It was thrown when I was calling an .aspx page Web Method using an ajax method call, passing a JSON array object. The Web Page method signature contained an array of a strongly-typed .NET object, OrderDetails. The Actual_Qty property was defined as an int, and the JSON object Actual_Qty property contained "4 " (extra space character). After removing the extra space, the conversion was made possible, the Web Page method was successfully reached by the ajax call.

How do I base64 encode (decode) in C?

libb64 has both C and C++ APIs. It is lightweight and perhaps the fastest publicly available implementation. It's also a dedicated stand-alone base64 encoding library, which can be nice if you don't need all the other stuff that comes from using a larger library such as OpenSSL or glib.

Defining and using a variable in batch file

The spaces are significant. You created a variable named 'location ' with a value of
' "bob"'. Note - enclosing single quotes were added to show location of space.

If you want quotes in your value, then your code should look like

set location="bob"

If you don't want quotes, then your code should look like

set location=bob

Or better yet

set "location=bob"

The last syntax prevents inadvertent trailing spaces from getting in the value, and also protects against special characters like & | etc.

Advantages of std::for_each over for loop

Personally, any time I'd need to go out of my way to use std::for_each (write special-purpose functors / complicated boost::lambdas), I find BOOST_FOREACH and C++0x's range-based for clearer:

BOOST_FOREACH(Monster* m, monsters) {
     if (m->has_plan()) 
         m->act();
}

vs

std::for_each(monsters.begin(), monsters.end(), 
  if_then(bind(&Monster::has_plan, _1), 
    bind(&Monster::act, _1)));

Spring MVC - How to return simple String as JSON in Rest Controller

In one project we addressed this using JSONObject (maven dependency info). We chose this because we preferred returning a simple String rather than a wrapper object. An internal helper class could easily be used instead if you don't want to add a new dependency.

Example Usage:

@RestController
public class TestController
{
    @RequestMapping("/getString")
    public String getString()
    {
        return JSONObject.quote("Hello World");
    }
}

How to use QTimer

mytimer.h:

    #ifndef MYTIMER_H
    #define MYTIMER_H

    #include <QTimer>

    class MyTimer : public QObject
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        MyTimer();
        QTimer *timer;

    public slots:
        void MyTimerSlot();
    };

    #endif // MYTIME

mytimer.cpp:

#include "mytimer.h"
#include <QDebug>

MyTimer::MyTimer()
{
    // create a timer
    timer = new QTimer(this);

    // setup signal and slot
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()),
          this, SLOT(MyTimerSlot()));

    // msec
    timer->start(1000);
}

void MyTimer::MyTimerSlot()
{
    qDebug() << "Timer...";
}

main.cpp:

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include "mytimer.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    // Create MyTimer instance
    // QTimer object will be created in the MyTimer constructor
    MyTimer timer;

    return a.exec();
}

If we run the code:

Timer...
Timer...
Timer...
Timer...
Timer...
...

DLL References in Visual C++

The additional include directories are relative to the project dir. This is normally the dir where your project file, *.vcproj, is located. I guess that in your case you have to add just "include" to your include and library directories.

If you want to be sure what your project dir is, you can check the value of the $(ProjectDir) macro. To do that go to "C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories", press the "..." button and in the pop-up dialog press "Macros>>".

Gunicorn worker timeout error

Is this endpoint taking too many time?

Maybe you are using flask without asynchronous support, so every request will block the call. To create async support without make difficult, add the gevent worker.

With gevent, a new call will spawn a new thread, and you app will be able to receive more requests

pip install gevent
gunicon .... --worker-class gevent

Best HTML5 markup for sidebar

The book HTML5 Guidelines for Web Developers: Structure and Semantics for Documents suggested this way (option 1):

<aside id="sidebar">
    <section id="widget_1"></section>
    <section id="widget_2"></section>
    <section id="widget_3"></section>
</aside>

It also points out that you can use sections in the footer. So section can be used outside of the actual page content.

How/when to generate Gradle wrapper files?

  1. You will generate them once, but update them if you need a new feature or something from a plugin which in turn needs a newer gradle version.

    Easiest way to update: as of Gradle 2.2 you can just download and extract the complete or binary Gradle distribution, and run:

    $ <pathToExpandedZip>/bin/gradle wrapper
    

    No need to define a task, though you probably need some kind of build.gradle file.

    This will update or create the gradlew and gradlew.bat wrapper as well as gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and the gradle-wrapper.jar to provide the current version of gradle, wrapped.

  2. Those are all part of the wrapper.

  3. Some build.gradle files reference other files or files in subdirectories which are sub projects or modules. It gets a bit complicated, but if you have one project you basically need the one file.

  4. settings.gradle handles project, module and other kinds of names and settings, gradle.properties configures resusable variables for your gradle files if you like and you feel they would be clearer that way.

List all of the possible goals in Maven 2?

A Build Lifecycle is Made Up of Phases

Each of these build lifecycles is defined by a different list of build phases, wherein a build phase represents a stage in the lifecycle.

For example, the default lifecycle comprises of the following phases (for a complete list of the lifecycle phases, refer to the Lifecycle Reference):

  • validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
  • compile - compile the source code of the project
  • test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed
  • package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR. verify - run any checks on results of integration tests to ensure quality criteria are met
  • install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
  • deploy - done in the build environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

These lifecycle phases (plus the other lifecycle phases not shown here) are executed sequentially to complete the default lifecycle. Given the lifecycle phases above, this means that when the default lifecycle is used, Maven will first validate the project, then will try to compile the sources, run those against the tests, package the binaries (e.g. jar), run integration tests against that package, verify the integration tests, install the verified package to the local repository, then deploy the installed package to a remote repository.

AngularJS Directive Restrict A vs E

One of the pitfalls as I know is IE problem with custom elements. As quoted from the docs:

3) you do not use custom element tags such as (use the attribute version instead)

4) if you do use custom element tags, then you must take these steps to make IE 8 and below happy

<!doctype html>
  <html xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org" id="ng-app" ng-app="optionalModuleName">
    <head>
      <!--[if lte IE 8]>
        <script>
          document.createElement('ng-include');
          document.createElement('ng-pluralize');
          document.createElement('ng-view');

          // Optionally these for CSS
          document.createElement('ng:include');
          document.createElement('ng:pluralize');
          document.createElement('ng:view');
        </script>
      <![endif]-->
    </head>
    <body>
      ...
    </body>
  </html>

How to completely uninstall python 2.7.13 on Ubuntu 16.04

How I do:

# Remove python2
sudo apt purge -y python2.7-minimal

# You already have Python3 but 
# don't care about the version 
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

# Same for pip
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip

# Confirm the new version of Python: 3
python --version

Setting width and height

I cannot believe nobody talked about using a relative parent element.

Code:

<div class="chart-container" style="position: relative; height:40vh; width:80vw">
  <canvas id="chart"></canvas>
</div>

Git: "please tell me who you are" error

Have a look at the config file.

Repository > Repository Settings > Edit config file.

Check if the [user] section exists. If the user section is missing, add it.

Example:

[user]
name = "your name"
email = "your email"
