Programs & Examples On #Google product search

Google Product Search (formerly Google Products and Froogle) is a price comparison service launched by Google Inc. It’s different from most other price comparison services in that it neither charges any fees for listings, nor accepts payment for products to show up first. Also, it makes no commission on sales.

How to make a movie out of images in python

Thanks , but i found an alternative solution using ffmpeg:

def save():

But thank you for your help :)

SSIS Excel Import Forcing Incorrect Column Type

You can convert (ie. force) the column data to text... Try this (Note: These instructions are based on Excel 2007)...

The following steps should force Excel to treat the column as text:

Open your spreadsheet with Excel.

Select the whole column that contains your "mostly numeric data" by clicking on the column header.

Click on the Data tab on the ribbon menu.

Select Text to Columns. This will bring up the Convert Text to Columns Wizard.

-On Step 1: Click Next

-On Step 2: Click Next

-On Step 3: Select Text and click Finish

Save your Excel sheet.

Retry the import using the SQL Server 2005 Import Data Wizard.

Also, here's a link to another question which has additional responses:

Import Data Wizard Does Not Like Data Type I Choose For A Column

Calling one Bash script from another Script passing it arguments with quotes and spaces

You need to use : "$@" (WITH the quotes) or "${@}" (same, but also telling the shell where the variable name starts and ends).

(and do NOT use : $@, or "$*", or $*).

ex:

#testscript1:
echo "TestScript1 Arguments:"
for an_arg in "$@" ; do
   echo "${an_arg}"
done
echo "nb of args: $#"
./testscript2 "$@"   #invokes testscript2 with the same arguments we received

I'm not sure I understood your other requirement ( you want to invoke './testscript2' in single quotes?) so here are 2 wild guesses (changing the last line above) :

'./testscript2' "$@"  #only makes sense if "/path/to/testscript2" containes spaces?

./testscript2 '"some thing" "another"' "$var" "$var2"  #3 args to testscript2

Please give me the exact thing you are trying to do

edit: after his comment saying he attempts tesscript1 "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" to run : salt 'remote host' cmd.run './testscript2 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'

You have many levels of intermediate: testscript1 on host 1, needs to run "salt", and give it a string launching "testscrit2" with arguments in quotes...

You could maybe "simplify" by having:

#testscript1

#we receive args, we generate a custom script simulating 'testscript2 "$@"'
theargs="'$1'"
shift
for i in "$@" ; do
   theargs="${theargs} '$i'"
done

salt 'remote host' cmd.run "./testscript2 ${theargs}"

if THAt doesn't work, then instead of running "testscript2 ${theargs}", replace THE LAST LINE above by

echo "./testscript2 ${theargs}" >/tmp/runtestscript2.$$  #generate custom script locally ($$ is current pid in bash/sh/...)
scp /tmp/runtestscript2.$$ user@remotehost:/tmp/runtestscript2.$$ #copy it to remotehost
salt 'remotehost' cmd.run "./runtestscript2.$$" #the args are inside the custom script!
ssh user@remotehost "rm /tmp/runtestscript2.$$" #delete the remote one
rm /tmp/runtestscript2.$$ #and the local one

"Invalid signature file" when attempting to run a .jar

Security is already a tough topic, but I'm disappointed to see the most popular solution is to delete the security signatures. JCE requires these signatures. Maven shade explodes the BouncyCastle jar file which puts the signatures into META-INF, but the BouncyCastle signatures aren't valid for a new, uber-jar (only for the BC jar), and that's what causes the Invalid signature error in this thread.

Yes, excluding or deleting the signatures as suggested by @ruhsuzbaykus does indeed make the original error go away, but it can also lead to new, cryptic errors:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: PBEWithSHA256And256BitAES-CBC-BC SecretKeyFactory not available

By explicitly specifying where to find the algorithm like this:

SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBEWithSHA256And256BitAES-CBC-BC","BC");

I was able to get a different error:

java.security.NoSuchProviderException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC

JCE can't authenticate the provider because we've deleted the cryptographic signatures by following the suggestion elsewhere in this same thread.

The solution I found was the executable packer plugin that uses a jar-in-jar approach to preserve the BouncyCastle signature in a single, executable jar.

UPDATE:

Another way to do this (the correct way?) is to use Maven Jar signer. This allows you to keep using Maven shade without getting security errors. HOWEVER, you must have a code signing certificate (Oracle suggests searching for "Java Code Signing Certificate"). The POM config looks like this:

No, there's no way to get JCE to recognize a self-signed cert, so if you need to preserve the BouncyCastle certs, you have to either use the jar-in-jar plugin or get a JCE cert.

Cannot set some HTTP headers when using System.Net.WebRequest

If you need the short and technical answer go right to the last section of the answer.

If you want to know better, read it all, and i hope you'll enjoy...


I countered this problem too today, and what i discovered today is that:

  1. the above answers are true, as:

    1.1 it's telling you that the header you are trying to add already exist and you should then modify its value using the appropriate property (the indexer, for instance), instead of trying to add it again.

    1.2 Anytime you're changing the headers of an HttpWebRequest, you need to use the appropriate properties on the object itself, if they exist.

Thanks FOR and Jvenema for the leading guidelines...

  1. But, What i found out, and that was the missing piece in the puzzle is that:

    2.1 The WebHeaderCollection class is generally accessed through WebRequest.Headers or WebResponse.Headers. Some common headers are considered restricted and are either exposed directly by the API (such as Content-Type) or protected by the system and cannot be changed.

The restricted headers are:

  • Accept
  • Connection
  • Content-Length
  • Content-Type
  • Date
  • Expect
  • Host
  • If-Modified-Since
  • Range
  • Referer
  • Transfer-Encoding
  • User-Agent
  • Proxy-Connection

So, next time you are facing this exception and don't know how to solve this, remember that there are some restricted headers, and the solution is to modify their values using the appropriate property explicitly from the WebRequest/HttpWebRequest class.


Edit: (useful, from comments, comment by user Kaido)

Solution is to check if the header exists already or is restricted (WebHeaderCollection.IsRestricted(key)) before calling add

Yes/No message box using QMessageBox

You can use the QMessage object to create a Message Box then add buttons :

QMessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setWindowTitle("title");
msgBox.setText("Question");
msgBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Yes);
msgBox.addButton(QMessageBox::No);
msgBox.setDefaultButton(QMessageBox::No);
if(msgBox.exec() == QMessageBox::Yes){
  // do something
}else {
  // do something else
}

Why does Java have an "unreachable statement" compiler error?

I only just noticed this question, and wanted to add my $.02 to this.

In case of Java, this is not actually an option. The "unreachable code" error doesn't come from the fact that JVM developers thought to protect developers from anything, or be extra vigilant, but from the requirements of the JVM specification.

Both Java compiler, and JVM, use what is called "stack maps" - a definite information about all of the items on the stack, as allocated for the current method. The type of each and every slot of the stack must be known, so that a JVM instruction doesn't mistreat item of one type for another type. This is mostly important for preventing having a numeric value ever being used as a pointer. It's possible, using Java assembly, to try to push/store a number, but then pop/load an object reference. However, JVM will reject this code during class validation,- that is when stack maps are being created and tested for consistency.

To verify the stack maps, the VM has to walk through all the code paths that exist in a method, and make sure that no matter which code path will ever be executed, the stack data for every instruction agrees with what any previous code has pushed/stored in the stack. So, in simple case of:

Object a;
if (something) { a = new Object(); } else { a = new String(); }
System.out.println(a);

at line 3, JVM will check that both branches of 'if' have only stored into a (which is just local var#0) something that is compatible with Object (since that's how code from line 3 and on will treat local var#0).

When compiler gets to an unreachable code, it doesn't quite know what state the stack might be at that point, so it can't verify its state. It can't quite compile the code anymore at that point, as it can't keep track of local variables either, so instead of leaving this ambiguity in the class file, it produces a fatal error.

Of course a simple condition like if (1<2) will fool it, but it's not really fooling - it's giving it a potential branch that can lead to the code, and at least both the compiler and the VM can determine, how the stack items can be used from there on.

P.S. I don't know what .NET does in this case, but I believe it will fail compilation as well. This normally will not be a problem for any machine code compilers (C, C++, Obj-C, etc.)

How many characters can a Java String have?

While you can in theory Integer.MAX_VALUE characters, the JVM is limited in the size of the array it can use.

public static void main(String... args) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        int len = Integer.MAX_VALUE - i;
        try {
            char[] ch = new char[len];
            System.out.println("len: " + len + " OK");
        } catch (Error e) {
            System.out.println("len: " + len + " " + e);
        }
    }
}

on Oracle Java 8 update 92 prints

len: 2147483647 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
len: 2147483646 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
len: 2147483645 OK
len: 2147483644 OK

Note: in Java 9, Strings will use byte[] which will mean that multi-byte characters will use more than one byte and reduce the maximum further. If you have all four byte code-points e.g. emojis, you will only get around 500 million characters

Match whitespace but not newlines

m/ /g just give space in / /, and it will work. Or use \S — it will replace all the special characters like tab, newlines, spaces, and so on.

CGRectMake, CGPointMake, CGSizeMake, CGRectZero, CGPointZero is unavailable in Swift

If you want to use them as in swift 2, you can use these funcs:

For CGRectMake:

func CGRectMake(_ x: CGFloat, _ y: CGFloat, _ width: CGFloat, _ height: CGFloat) -> CGRect {
    return CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)
}

For CGPointMake:

func CGPointMake(_ x: CGFloat, _ y: CGFloat) -> CGPoint {
    return CGPoint(x: x, y: y)
}

For CGSizeMake:

func CGSizeMake(_ width: CGFloat, _ height: CGFloat) -> CGSize {
    return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
}

Just put them outside any class and it should work. (Works for me at least)

ActionController::UnknownFormat

You can also modify your config/routes.rb file like:

 get 'ajax/:action', to: 'ajax#:action', :defaults => { :format => 'json' }

Which will default the format to json. It is working fine for me in Rails 4.

Or if you want to go even further and you are using namespaces, you can cut down the duplicates:

namespace :api, defaults: {format: 'json'} do
   #your controller routes here ...
end

with the above everything under /api will be formatted as json by default.

Subtracting 2 lists in Python

This answer shows how to write "normal/easily understandable" pythonic code.

I suggest not using zip as not really everyone knows about it.


The solutions use list comprehensions and common built-in functions.


Alternative 1 (Recommended):

a = [2, 2, 2]
b = [1, 1, 1]
result = [a[i] - b[i] for i in range(len(a))]

Recommended as it only uses the most basic functions in Python


Alternative 2:

a = [2, 2, 2]
b = [1, 1, 1]
result = [x - b[i] for i, x in enumerate(a)]

Alternative 3 (as mentioned by BioCoder):

a = [2, 2, 2]
b = [1, 1, 1]
result = list(map(lambda x, y: x - y, a, b))

jQuery: Handle fallback for failed AJAX Request

I prefer to this approach because you can return the promise and use .then(successFunction, failFunction); anywhere you need to.

var promise = $.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'json',
    url: url,
    timeout: 5000
  }).then(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {
    alert('request successful');
  }, function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {
    alert('request failed');
});

//also access the success and fail using variable
promise.then(successFunction, failFunction);

How to exclude file only from root folder in Git

From the documentation:

If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname relative to the location of the .gitignore file (relative to the toplevel of the work tree if not from a .gitignore file).

A leading slash matches the beginning of the pathname. For example, "/*.c" matches "cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".

So you should add the following line to your root .gitignore:

/config.php

Prevent double curly brace notation from displaying momentarily before angular.js compiles/interpolates document

Just add the cloaking CSS to the head of the page or to one of your CSS files:

[ng\:cloak], [ng-cloak], [data-ng-cloak], [x-ng-cloak], .ng-cloak, .x-ng-cloak, .ng-hide {
    display: none !important;
}

Then you can use the ngCloak directive according to normal Angular practice, and it will work even before Angular itself is loaded.

This is exactly what Angular does: the code at the end of angular.js adds the above CSS rules to the head of the page.

Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc

Regarding the 64-bit system wanting 32-bit support. I don't find it so bizarre:

Although deployed to a 64-bit system, this doesn't mean all the referenced assemblies are necessarily 64-bit Crystal Reports assemblies. Further to that, the Crystal Reports assemblies are largely just wrappers to a collection of legacy DLLs upon which they are based. Many 32-bit DLLs are required by the primarily referenced assembly. The error message "can not load the assembly" involves these DLLs as well. To see visually what those are, go to www.dependencywalker.com and run 'Depends' on the assembly in question, directly on that IIS server.

How do you use bcrypt for hashing passwords in PHP?

bcrypt is a hashing algorithm which is scalable with hardware (via a configurable number of rounds). Its slowness and multiple rounds ensures that an attacker must deploy massive funds and hardware to be able to crack your passwords. Add to that per-password salts (bcrypt REQUIRES salts) and you can be sure that an attack is virtually unfeasible without either ludicrous amount of funds or hardware.

bcrypt uses the Eksblowfish algorithm to hash passwords. While the encryption phase of Eksblowfish and Blowfish are exactly the same, the key schedule phase of Eksblowfish ensures that any subsequent state depends on both salt and key (user password), and no state can be precomputed without the knowledge of both. Because of this key difference, bcrypt is a one-way hashing algorithm. You cannot retrieve the plain text password without already knowing the salt, rounds and key (password). [Source]

How to use bcrypt:

Using PHP >= 5.5-DEV

Password hashing functions have now been built directly into PHP >= 5.5. You may now use password_hash() to create a bcrypt hash of any password:

<?php
// Usage 1:
echo password_hash('rasmuslerdorf', PASSWORD_DEFAULT)."\n";
// $2y$10$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
// For example:
// $2y$10$.vGA1O9wmRjrwAVXD98HNOgsNpDczlqm3Jq7KnEd1rVAGv3Fykk1a

// Usage 2:
$options = [
  'cost' => 11
];
echo password_hash('rasmuslerdorf', PASSWORD_BCRYPT, $options)."\n";
// $2y$11$6DP.V0nO7YI3iSki4qog6OQI5eiO6Jnjsqg7vdnb.JgGIsxniOn4C

To verify a user provided password against an existing hash, you may use the password_verify() as such:

<?php
// See the password_hash() example to see where this came from.
$hash = '$2y$07$BCryptRequires22Chrcte/VlQH0piJtjXl.0t1XkA8pw9dMXTpOq';

if (password_verify('rasmuslerdorf', $hash)) {
    echo 'Password is valid!';
} else {
    echo 'Invalid password.';
}

Using PHP >= 5.3.7, < 5.5-DEV (also RedHat PHP >= 5.3.3)

There is a compatibility library on GitHub created based on the source code of the above functions originally written in C, which provides the same functionality. Once the compatibility library is installed, usage is the same as above (minus the shorthand array notation if you are still on the 5.3.x branch).

Using PHP < 5.3.7 (DEPRECATED)

You can use crypt() function to generate bcrypt hashes of input strings. This class can automatically generate salts and verify existing hashes against an input. If you are using a version of PHP higher or equal to 5.3.7, it is highly recommended you use the built-in function or the compat library. This alternative is provided only for historical purposes.

class Bcrypt{
  private $rounds;

  public function __construct($rounds = 12) {
    if (CRYPT_BLOWFISH != 1) {

You can use this code like this:

$hash = $bcrypt->hash('password');
$isGood = $bcrypt->verify('password', $hash);

Alternatively, you may also use the Portable PHP Hashing Framework.

INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint - SQL Server

It means exactly what it says. You're trying to insert a value into a column that has a FK constraint on it that doesn't match any values in the lookup table.

Removing space from dataframe columns in pandas

  • To remove white spaces:

1) To remove white space everywhere:

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace(' ', '')

2) To remove white space at the beginning of string:

df.columns = df.columns.str.lstrip()

3) To remove white space at the end of string:

df.columns = df.columns.str.rstrip()

4) To remove white space at both ends:

df.columns = df.columns.str.strip()
  • To replace white spaces with other characters (underscore for instance):

5) To replace white space everywhere

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace(' ', '_')

6) To replace white space at the beginning:

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace('^ +', '_')

7) To replace white space at the end:

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace(' +$', '_')

8) To replace white space at both ends:

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace('^ +| +$', '_')

All above applies to a specific column as well, assume you have a column named col, then just do:

df[col] = df[col].str.strip()  # or .replace as above

Total width of element (including padding and border) in jQuery

Default value of function parameter

On thing to remember here is that the default param must be the last param in the function definition.

Following code will not compile:

void fun(int first, int second = 10, int third);

Following code will compile:

void fun(int first, int second, int third = 10);

BOOLEAN or TINYINT confusion

MySQL does not have internal boolean data type. It uses the smallest integer data type - TINYINT.

The BOOLEAN and BOOL are equivalents of TINYINT(1), because they are synonyms.

Try to create this table -

CREATE TABLE table1 (
  column1 BOOLEAN DEFAULT NULL
);

Then run SHOW CREATE TABLE, you will get this output -

CREATE TABLE `table1` (
  `column1` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL
)

Regular expression - starting and ending with a letter, accepting only letters, numbers and _

Here's a solution using a negative lookahead (not supported in all regex engines):

^[a-zA-Z](((?!__)[a-zA-Z0-9_])*[a-zA-Z0-9])?$

Test that it works as expected:

import re
tests = [
   ('a', True),
   ('_', False),
   ('zz', True),
   ('a0', True),
   ('A_', False),
   ('a0_b', True),
   ('a__b', False),
   ('a_1_c', True),
]

regex = '^[a-zA-Z](((?!__)[a-zA-Z0-9_])*[a-zA-Z0-9])?$'
for test in tests:
   is_match = re.match(regex, test[0]) is not None
   if is_match != test[1]:
       print "fail: "  + test[0]

Increment a value in Postgres

UPDATE totals 
   SET total = total + 1
WHERE name = 'bill';

If you want to make sure the current value is indeed 203 (and not accidently increase it again) you can also add another condition:

UPDATE totals 
   SET total = total + 1
WHERE name = 'bill'
  AND total = 203;

Chrome:The website uses HSTS. Network errors...this page will probably work later

I recently had the same issue while trying to access domains using CloudFlare Origin CA.

The only way I found to workaround/avoid HSTS cert exception on Chrome (Windows build) was following the short instructions in https://support.opendns.com/entries/66657664.

The workaround:
Add to Chrome shortcut the flag --ignore-certificate-errors, then reopen it and surf to your website.

Reminder:
Use it only for development purposes.

-XX:MaxPermSize with or without -XX:PermSize

By playing with parameters as -XX:PermSize and -Xms you can tune the performance of - for example - the startup of your application. I haven't looked at it recently, but a few years back the default value of -Xms was something like 32MB (I think), if your application required a lot more than that it would trigger a number of cycles of fill memory - full garbage collect - increase memory etc until it had loaded everything it needed. This cycle can be detrimental for startup performance, so immediately assigning the number required could improve startup.

A similar cycle is applied to the permanent generation. So tuning these parameters can improve startup (amongst others).

WARNING The JVM has a lot of optimization and intelligence when it comes to allocating memory, dividing eden space and older generations etc, so don't do things like making -Xms equal to -Xmx or -XX:PermSize equal to -XX:MaxPermSize as it will remove some of the optimizations the JVM can apply to its allocation strategies and therefor reduce your application performance instead of improving it.

As always: make non-trivial measurements to prove your changes actually improve performance overall (for example improving startup time could be disastrous for performance during use of the application)

How do I uninstall a Windows service if the files do not exist anymore?

Remove Windows Service via Registry

Its very easy to remove a service from registry if you know the right path. Here is how I did that:

  1. Run Regedit or Regedt32

  2. Go to the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services"

  3. Look for the service that you want delete and delete it. You can look at the keys to know what files the service was using and delete them as well (if necessary).

Delete Windows Service via Command Window

Alternatively, you can also use command prompt and delete a service using following command:

sc delete

You can also create service by using following command

sc create "MorganTechService" binpath= "C:\Program Files\MorganTechSPace\myservice.exe"

Note: You may have to reboot the system to get the list updated in service manager.

Find where python is installed (if it isn't default dir)

  1. First search for PYTHON IDLE from search bar
  2. Open the IDLE and use below commands.

    import sys print(sys.path)

  3. It will give you the path where the python.exe is installed. For eg: C:\Users\\...\python.exe

  4. Add the same path to system environment variable.

Maven plugin in Eclipse - Settings.xml file is missing

Working on Mac I followed the answer of Sean Patrick Floyd placing a settings.xml like above in my user folder /Users/user/.m2/

But this did not help. So I opened a Terminal and did a ls -la on the folder. This was showing

-rw-r--r--@

thus staff and everone can at least read the file. So I wondered if the message isn't wrong and if the real cause is the lack of write permissions. I set the file to:

-rw-r--rw-@

This did it. The message disappeared.

Java: export to an .jar file in eclipse

Can I obtain method parameter name using Java reflection?

As @Bozho stated, it is possible to do it if debug information is included during compilation. There's a good answer here...

How to get the parameter names of an object's constructors (reflection)? by @AdamPaynter

...using the ASM library. I put together an example showing how you can achieve your goal.

First of all, start with a pom.xml with these dependencies.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
    <artifactId>asm-all</artifactId>
    <version>5.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.12</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Then, this class should do what you want. Just invoke the static method getParameterNames().

import org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader;
import org.objectweb.asm.Type;
import org.objectweb.asm.tree.ClassNode;
import org.objectweb.asm.tree.LocalVariableNode;

    public static List<String> getParameterNames(Method theMethod) throws IOException {
        Class<?> declaringClass = theMethod.getDeclaringClass();
        ClassLoader declaringClassLoader = declaringClass.getClassLoader();

        Type declaringType = Type.getType(declaringClass);
        String constructorDescriptor = Type.getMethodDescriptor(theMethod);
        String url = declaringType.getInternalName() + ".class";

        InputStream classFileInputStream = declaringClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(url);
        if (classFileInputStream == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "The constructor's class loader cannot find the bytecode that defined the constructor's class (URL: "
                            + url + ")");

            classReader.accept(classNode, 0);
        } finally {
            classFileInputStream.close();
        }

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<MethodNode> methods = classNode.methods;
        for (MethodNode method : methods) {
            if (method.name.equals(theMethod.getName()) && method.desc.equals(constructorDescriptor)) {
                Type[] argumentTypes = Type.getArgumentTypes(method.desc);
                List<String> parameterNames = new ArrayList<String>(argumentTypes.length);

                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                List<LocalVariableNode> localVariables = method.localVariables;
                for (int i = 1; i <= argumentTypes.length; i++) {
                    // The first local variable actually represents the "this"
                    // object if the method is not static!
                    parameterNames.add(localVariables.get(i).name);
                }

                return parameterNames;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }
}

Here's an example with a unit test.

public class ArgumentReflectionTest {

    @Test
    public void shouldExtractTheNamesOfTheParameters3() throws NoSuchMethodException, SecurityException, IOException {

        List<String> parameterNames = ArgumentReflection
                .getParameterNames(Clazz.class.getMethod("callMe", String.class, String.class));
        assertEquals("firstName", parameterNames.get(0));
        assertEquals("lastName", parameterNames.get(1));
        assertEquals(2, parameterNames.size());

    }

    public static final class Clazz {

        public void callMe(String firstName, String lastName) {
        }

    }
}

You can find the complete example on GitHub

Caveats

  • I slightly changed the original solution from @AdamPaynter to make it work for Methods. If I properly understood, his solution works only with constructors.
  • This solution does not work with static methods. This is becasue in this case the number of arguments returned by ASM is different, but it something that can be easily fixed.

Issue with Task Scheduler launching a task

My task was set to Run only when user is logged on and it was failing for me even while I was logged in and starting it manually. The user was set to me already. No password changes, etc.

I solved it by clicking "Change user" and selecting myself again.

I suspect it may have been caused by AD changing the user SID or something to that extent. Perhaps IT was doing some user management in AD, who knows.

Python: print a generator expression?

Quick answer:

Doing list() around a generator expression is (almost) exactly equivalent to having [] brackets around it. So yeah, you can do

>>> list((x for x in string.letters if x in (y for y in "BigMan on campus")))

But you can just as well do

>>> [x for x in string.letters if x in (y for y in "BigMan on campus")]

Yes, that will turn the generator expression into a list comprehension. It's the same thing and calling list() on it. So the way to make a generator expression into a list is to put brackets around it.

Detailed explanation:

A generator expression is a "naked" for expression. Like so:

x*x for x in range(10)

Now, you can't stick that on a line by itself, you'll get a syntax error. But you can put parenthesis around it.

>>> (x*x for x in range(10))
<generator object <genexpr> at 0xb7485464>

This is sometimes called a generator comprehension, although I think the official name still is generator expression, there isn't really any difference, the parenthesis are only there to make the syntax valid. You do not need them if you are passing it in as the only parameter to a function for example:

>>> sorted(x*x for x in range(10))
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

Basically all the other comprehensions available in Python 3 and Python 2.7 is just syntactic sugar around a generator expression. Set comprehensions:

>>> {x*x for x in range(10)}
{0, 1, 4, 81, 64, 9, 16, 49, 25, 36}

>>> set(x*x for x in range(10))
{0, 1, 4, 81, 64, 9, 16, 49, 25, 36}

Dict comprehensions:

>>> dict((x, x*x) for x in range(10))
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25, 6: 36, 7: 49, 8: 64, 9: 81}

>>> {x: x*x for x in range(10)}
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25, 6: 36, 7: 49, 8: 64, 9: 81}

And list comprehensions under Python 3:

>>> list(x*x for x in range(10))
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

>>> [x*x for x in range(10)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

Under Python 2, list comprehensions is not just syntactic sugar. But the only difference is that x will under Python 2 leak into the namespace.

>>> x
9

While under Python 3 you'll get

>>> x
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'x' is not defined

This means that the best way to get a nice printout of the content of your generator expression in Python is to make a list comprehension out of it! However, this will obviously not work if you already have a generator object. Doing that will just make a list of one generator:

>>> foo = (x*x for x in range(10))
>>> [foo]
[<generator object <genexpr> at 0xb7559504>]

In that case you will need to call list():

>>> list(foo)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

Although this works, but is kinda stupid:

>>> [x for x in foo]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

How to get the date from the DatePicker widget in Android?

you mean that you want to add DatePicker widget into your apps.

Global variable declaration into your activity class:

private Button mPickDate;
private int mYear;
private int mMonth;
private int mDay;
static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;

write down this code into onCreate() function:

//date picker presentation
    mPickDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickDate);//button for showing date picker dialog 
    mPickDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) { showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID); }
    });

    // get the current date
    final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);


    // display the current date
    updateDisplay();

write down those function outside of onCreate() function:

//return date picker dialog
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    switch (id) {
    case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
        return new DatePickerDialog(this, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
    }
    return null;
}

//update month day year
private void updateDisplay() {
    mBodyText.setText(//this is the edit text where you want to show the selected date
        new StringBuilder()
            // Month is 0 based so add 1
        .append(mYear).append("-")
        .append(mMonth + 1).append("-")
        .append(mDay).append(""));


            //.append(mMonth + 1).append("-")
            //.append(mDay).append("-")
            //.append(mYear).append(" "));
}

// the call back received when the user "sets" the date in the dialog
private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener =
    new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
            mYear = year;
            mMonth = monthOfYear;
            mDay = dayOfMonth;
            updateDisplay();
        }
};

How can I get the count of line in a file in an efficient way?

Read the file through and count the number of newline characters. An easy way to read a file in Java, one line at a time, is the java.util.Scanner class.

How do I Validate the File Type of a File Upload?

As some people have mentioned, Javascript is the way to go. Bear in mind that the "validation" here is only by file extension, it won't validate that the file is a real excel spreadsheet!

Using sed to mass rename files

Here's what I would do:

for file in *.[Jj][Pp][Gg] ;do 
    echo mv -vi \"$file\" `jhead $file|
                           grep Date|
                           cut -b 16-|
                           sed -e 's/:/-/g' -e 's/ /_/g' -e 's/$/.jpg/g'` ;
done

Then if that looks ok, add | sh to the end. So:

for file in *.[Jj][Pp][Gg] ;do 
    echo mv -vi \"$file\" `jhead $file|
                           grep Date|
                           cut -b 16-|
                           sed -e 's/:/-/g' -e 's/ /_/g' -e 's/$/.jpg/g'` ;
done | sh

.NET - Get protocol, host, and port

Request.Url will return you the Uri of the request. Once you have that, you can retrieve pretty much anything you want. To get the protocol, call the Scheme property.

Sample:

Uri url = Request.Url;

Typescript interface default values

You can implement the interface with a class, then you can deal with initializing the members in the constructor:

class IXClass implements IX {
    a: string;
    b: any;
    c: AnotherType;

    constructor(obj: IX);
    constructor(a: string, b: any, c: AnotherType);
    constructor() {
        if (arguments.length == 1) {
            this.a = arguments[0].a;
            this.b = arguments[0].b;
            this.c = arguments[0].c;
        } else {
            this.a = arguments[0];
            this.b = arguments[1];
            this.c = arguments[2];
        }
    }
}

Another approach is to use a factory function:

function ixFactory(a: string, b: any, c: AnotherType): IX {
    return {
        a: a,
        b: b,
        c: c
    }
}

Then you can simply:

var ix: IX = null;
...

ix = new IXClass(...);
// or
ix = ixFactory(...);

How can I access "static" class variables within class methods in Python?

Instead of bar use self.bar or Foo.bar. Assigning to Foo.bar will create a static variable, and assigning to self.bar will create an instance variable.

How to implement zoom effect for image view in android?

Lazy man can use this lib, Just import inside your project and

ImageView mImageView;
PhotoViewAttacher mAttacher;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // Any implementation of ImageView can be used!
    mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv_photo);

    // Set the Drawable displayed
    Drawable bitmap = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.wallpaper);
    mImageView.setImageDrawable(bitmap);

    // Attach a PhotoViewAttacher, which takes care of all of the zooming functionality.
    mAttacher = new PhotoViewAttacher(mImageView);
}


// If you later call mImageView.setImageDrawable/setImageBitmap/setImageResource/etc then you just need to call
mAttacher.update();

Append to string variable

Like this:

var str = 'blah blah blah';
str += ' blah';

str += ' ' + 'and some more blah';

How do I change the formatting of numbers on an axis with ggplot?

I also found another way of doing this that gives proper 'x10(superscript)5' notation on the axes. I'm posting it here in the hope it might be useful to some. I got the code from here so I claim no credit for it, that rightly goes to Brian Diggs.

fancy_scientific <- function(l) {
     # turn in to character string in scientific notation
     l <- format(l, scientific = TRUE)
     # quote the part before the exponent to keep all the digits
     l <- gsub("^(.*)e", "'\\1'e", l)
     # turn the 'e+' into plotmath format
     l <- gsub("e", "%*%10^", l)
     # return this as an expression
     parse(text=l)
}

Which you can then use as

ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y)) +
   geom_point() +
   scale_y_continuous(labels=fancy_scientific)

How can I return NULL from a generic method in C#?

Two options:

  • Return default(T) which means you'll return null if T is a reference type (or a nullable value type), 0 for int, '\0' for char, etc. (Default values table (C# Reference))
  • Restrict T to be a reference type with the where T : class constraint and then return null as normal

Python-Requests close http connection

please use response.close() to close to avoid "too many open files" error

....
r.close()

How to rename a single column in a data.frame?

This is a generalized way in which you do not have to remember the exact location of the variable:

# df = dataframe
# old.var.name = The name you don't like anymore
# new.var.name = The name you want to get

names(df)[names(df) == 'old.var.name'] <- 'new.var.name'

This code pretty much does the following:

  1. names(df) looks into all the names in the df
  2. [names(df) == old.var.name] extracts the variable name you want to check
  3. <- 'new.var.name' assigns the new variable name.

'^M' character at end of lines

Web colors in an Android color xml resource file

You have to create the colors.xml file in the res/values folder of your project. The code of colors.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
 <color name="orange">#ff5500</color>
 <color name="white">#ffffff</color>
 <color name="transparent">#00000000</color>
 <color name="date_color">#999999</color>
 <color name="black">#000000</color>
 <color name="gray">#999999</color>
 <color name="blue">#0066cc</color>
 <color name="gold">#e6b121</color>
 <color name="blueback">#99FFFF</color>
 <color name="articlecolor">#3399FF</color> 
 <color name="article_title">#3399FF</color> 
 <color name="cachecolor">#8ad0e8</color>
</resources>

Or, you can use Colors in your application by following way

android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT;

Similarly

android.graphics.Color.RED;

How can I recover the return value of a function passed to multiprocessing.Process?

This example shows how to use a list of multiprocessing.Pipe instances to return strings from an arbitrary number of processes:

import multiprocessing

def worker(procnum, send_end):
    '''worker function'''
    result = str(procnum) + ' represent!'
    print result
    send_end.send(result)

def main():
    jobs = []
    pipe_list = []
    for i in range(5):
        recv_end, send_end = multiprocessing.Pipe(False)
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i, send_end))
        jobs.append(p)
        pipe_list.append(recv_end)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    result_list = [x.recv() for x in pipe_list]
    print result_list

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output:

0 represent!
1 represent!
2 represent!
3 represent!
4 represent!
['0 represent!', '1 represent!', '2 represent!', '3 represent!', '4 represent!']

This solution uses fewer resources than a multiprocessing.Queue which uses

  • a Pipe
  • at least one Lock
  • a buffer
  • a thread

or a multiprocessing.SimpleQueue which uses

  • a Pipe
  • at least one Lock

It is very instructive to look at the source for each of these types.

Android Eclipse - Could not find *.apk

I just fixed this by reselecting a default JRE for the execution environment (JRE6 for JavaSE-1.6 in my case). It got unchecked for some reason.

How can I get the baseurl of site?

Based on what Warlock wrote, I found that the virtual path root is needed if you aren't hosted at the root of your web. (This works for MVC Web API controllers)

String baseUrl = Request.RequestUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) 
+ Configuration.VirtualPathRoot;

How does the JPA @SequenceGenerator annotation work

sequenceName is the name of the sequence in the DB. This is how you specify a sequence that already exists in the DB. If you go this route, you have to specify the allocationSize which needs to be the same value that the DB sequence uses as its "auto increment".

Usage:

@GeneratedValue(generator="my_seq")
@SequenceGenerator(name="my_seq",sequenceName="MY_SEQ", allocationSize=1)

If you want, you can let it create a sequence for you. But to do this, you must use SchemaGeneration to have it created. To do this, use:

@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE)

Also, you can use the auto-generation, which will use a table to generate the IDs. You must also use SchemaGeneration at some point when using this feature, so the generator table can be created. To do this, use:

@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)

How can I fill a div with an image while keeping it proportional?

Consider using background-size: cover (IE9+) in conjunction with background-image. For IE8-, there is a polyfill.

Display array values in PHP

There is foreach loop in php. You have to traverse the array.

foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
  echo $key." has the value". $value;
}

If you simply want to add commas between values, consider using implode

$string=implode(",",$array);
echo $string;

Why boolean in Java takes only true or false? Why not 1 or 0 also?

Java, unlike languages like C and C++, treats boolean as a completely separate data type which has 2 distinct values: true and false. The values 1 and 0 are of type int and are not implicitly convertible to boolean.

Developing for Android in Eclipse: R.java not regenerating

Here's one more answer that I found, after none of the previous 30 answers helped.

I found my issue in the strings.xml file, although it is very very odd. I stripped down my app to bare minimum and this was the only thing that came to light. I can even replicate it on a brand new empty app.

In the strings.xml file, this compiles (and generates the R.java file):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Test_My_App</string>
<string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
</resources>

However, this is not:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world</string>
<string name="app_name">My_App</string>
<string name="action_refresh">Refresh</string>
</resources>

The "funny" thins is that I removed the action_settings several days ago. I've cleaned my code since then and never had any issues. I added additional strings to the strings.xml file today and after cleaning the code the wheels came off. Also, if I re-arrange the order of the same 3 string lines, and clean my code, the R.java file does not get re-generated.

There's my solution to my particular issue.

I hope it helps somebody...

HTML5 Canvas Resize (Downscale) Image High Quality?

Here is a reusable Angular service for high quality image / canvas resizing: https://gist.github.com/fisch0920/37bac5e741eaec60e983

The service supports lanczos convolution and step-wise downscaling. The convolution approach is higher quality at the cost of being slower, whereas the step-wise downscaling approach produces reasonably antialiased results and is significantly faster.

Example usage:

angular.module('demo').controller('ExampleCtrl', function (imageService) {
  // EXAMPLE USAGE
  // NOTE: it's bad practice to access the DOM inside a controller, 
  // but this is just to show the example usage.

  // resize by lanczos-sinc filter
  imageService.resize($('#myimg')[0], 256, 256)
    .then(function (resizedImage) {
      // do something with resized image
    })

  // resize by stepping down image size in increments of 2x
  imageService.resizeStep($('#myimg')[0], 256, 256)
    .then(function (resizedImage) {
      // do something with resized image
    })
})

How do I iterate through table rows and cells in JavaScript?

If you want to go through each row(<tr>), knowing/identifying the row(<tr>), and iterate through each column(<td>) of each row(<tr>), then this is the way to go.

var table = document.getElementById("mytab1");
for (var i = 0, row; row = table.rows[i]; i++) {
   //iterate through rows
   //rows would be accessed using the "row" variable assigned in the for loop
   for (var j = 0, col; col = row.cells[j]; j++) {
     //iterate through columns
     //columns would be accessed using the "col" variable assigned in the for loop
   }  
}

If you just want to go through the cells(<td>), ignoring which row you're on, then this is the way to go.

var table = document.getElementById("mytab1");
for (var i = 0, cell; cell = table.cells[i]; i++) {
     //iterate through cells
     //cells would be accessed using the "cell" variable assigned in the for loop
}

Java character array initializer

You initialized and declared your String to "Hi there", initialized your char[] array with the correct size, and you began a loop over the length of the array which prints an empty string combined with a given element being looked at in the array. At which point did you factor in the functionality to put in the characters from the String into the array?

When you attempt to print each element in the array, you print an empty String, since you're adding 'nothing' to an empty String, and since there was no functionality to add in the characters from the input String to the array. You have everything around it correctly implemented, though. This is the code that should go after you initialize the array, but before the for-loop that iterates over the array to print out the elements.

for (int count = 0; count < ini.length(); count++) {
  array[count] = ini.charAt(count);
}

It would be more efficient to just combine the for-loops to print each character out right after you put it into the array.

for (int count = 0; count < ini.length(); count++) {
  array[count] = ini.charAt(count);
  System.out.println(array[count]);
}

At this point, you're probably wondering why even put it in a char[] when I can just print them using the reference to the String object ini itself.

String ini = "Hi there";

for (int count = 0; count < ini.length(); count++) {
   System.out.println(ini.charAt(count));
}

Definitely read about Java Strings. They're fascinating and work pretty well, in my opinion. Here's a decent link: https://www.javatpoint.com/java-string

String ini = "Hi there"; // stored in String constant pool

is stored differently in memory than

String ini = new String("Hi there"); // stored in heap memory and String constant pool

, which is stored differently than

char[] inichar = new char[]{"H", "i", " ", "t", "h", "e", "r", "e"};
String ini = new String(inichar); // converts from char array to string

Using global variables in a function

You can use a global variable within other functions by declaring it as global within each function that assigns a value to it:

globvar = 0

def set_globvar_to_one():
    global globvar    # Needed to modify global copy of globvar
    globvar = 1

def print_globvar():
    print(globvar)     # No need for global declaration to read value of globvar

set_globvar_to_one()
print_globvar()       # Prints 1

I imagine the reason for it is that, since global variables are so dangerous, Python wants to make sure that you really know that's what you're playing with by explicitly requiring the global keyword.

See other answers if you want to share a global variable across modules.

Bundle ID Suffix? What is it?

If you don't have a company, leave your name, it doesn't matter as long as both bundle id in info.plist file and the one you've submitted in iTunes Connect match.

In Bundle ID Suffix you should write full name of bundle ID.

Example:

Bundle ID suffix = thebestapp (NOT CORRECT!!!!)

Bundle ID suffix = com.awesomeapps.thebestapp (CORRECT!!)

The reason for this is explained in the Developer Portal:

The App ID string contains two parts separated by a period (.) — an App ID Prefix (your Team ID by default, e.g. ABCDE12345), and an App ID Suffix (a Bundle ID search string, e.g. com.mycompany.appname). [emphasis added]

So in this case the suffix is the full string com.awesomeapps.thebestapp.

libxml/tree.h no such file or directory

Follow the directions here, under "Setting up your project file."

Setting up your project file

You need to add libxml2.dylib to your project (don't put it in the Frameworks section). On the Mac, you'll find it at /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib and for the iPhone, you'll want the /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.0.sdk/usr/lib/libxml2.dylib version.

Since libxml2 is a .dylib (not a nice friendly .framework) we still have one more thing to do. Go to the Project build settings (Project->Edit Project Settings->Build) and find the "Search Paths". In "Header Search Paths" add the following path:

$(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2

Also see the OP's answer.

What use is find_package() if you need to specify CMAKE_MODULE_PATH anyway?

How is this usually done? Should I copy the cmake/ directory of SomeLib into my project and set the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH relatively?

If you don't trust CMake to have that module, then - yes, do that - sort of: Copy the find_SomeLib.cmake and its dependencies into your cmake/ directory. That's what I do as a fallback. It's an ugly solution though.

Note that the FindFoo.cmake modules are each a sort of a bridge between platform-dependence and platform-independence - they look in various platform-specific places to obtain paths in variables whose names is platform-independent.

Check for a substring in a string in Oracle without LIKE

I'm guessing the reason you're asking is performance? There's the instr function. But that's likely to work pretty much the same behind the scenes.

Maybe you could look into full text search.

As last resorts you'd be looking at caching or precomputed columns/an indexed view.

Can I execute a function after setState is finished updating?

render will be called every time you setState to re-render the component if there are changes. If you move your call to drawGrid there rather than calling it in your update* methods, you shouldn't have a problem.

If that doesn't work for you, there is also an overload of setState that takes a callback as a second parameter. You should be able to take advantage of that as a last resort.

Two Radio Buttons ASP.NET C#

I can see it's an old question, if you want to put other HTML inside could use the radiobutton with GroupName propery same in all radiobuttons and in the Text property set something like an image or the html you need.

   <asp:RadioButton GroupName="group1" runat="server" ID="paypalrb" Text="<img src='https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/mktg/logo/bdg_secured_by_pp_2line.png' border='0' alt='Secured by PayPal' style='width: 103px; height: 61px; padding:10px;'>" />

Python, HTTPS GET with basic authentication

Update: OP uses Python 3. So adding an example using httplib2

import httplib2

h = httplib2.Http(".cache")

h.add_credentials('name', 'password') # Basic authentication

resp, content = h.request("https://host/path/to/resource", "POST", body="foobar")

The below works for python 2.6:

I use pycurl a lot in production for a process which does upwards of 10 million requests per day.

You'll need to import the following first.

import pycurl
import cStringIO
import base64

Part of the basic authentication header consists of the username and password encoded as Base64.

headers = { 'Authorization' : 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode("username:password") }

In the HTTP header you will see this line Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=. The encoded string changes depending on your username and password.

We now need a place to write our HTTP response to and a curl connection handle.

response = cStringIO.StringIO()
conn = pycurl.Curl()

We can set various curl options. For a complete list of options, see this. The linked documentation is for the libcurl API, but the options does not change for other language bindings.

conn.setopt(pycurl.VERBOSE, 1)
conn.setopt(pycurlHTTPHEADER, ["%s: %s" % t for t in headers.items()])

conn.setopt(pycurl.URL, "https://host/path/to/resource")
conn.setopt(pycurl.POST, 1)

If you do not need to verify certificate. Warning: This is insecure. Similar to running curl -k or curl --insecure.

conn.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYPEER, False)
conn.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYHOST, False)

Call cStringIO.write for storing the HTTP response.

conn.setopt(pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION, response.write)

When you're making a POST request.

post_body = "foobar"
conn.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, post_body)

Make the actual request now.

conn.perform()

Do something based on the HTTP response code.

http_code = conn.getinfo(pycurl.HTTP_CODE)
if http_code is 200:
   print response.getvalue()

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

I have just tried to install that extension on my dev server.

First, make sure that the extension is correctly enabled. Your phpinfo() output doesn't seem complete.

If it is indeed installed properly, your phpinfo() should have a section that looks like this: enter image description here

If you do not get that section in your phpinfo(). Make sure that you are using the right version. There are both non-thread-safe and thread-safe versions of the extension.

Finally, check your extension_dir setting. By default it's this: extension_dir = "ext", for most of the time it works fine, but if it doesn't try: extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext".

===========================================================================

EDIT given new info:

You are using the wrong function. mssql_connect() is part of the Mssql extension. You are using microsoft's extension, so use sqlsrv_connect(), for the API for the microsoft driver, look at SQLSRV_Help.chm which should be extracted to your ext directory when you extracted the extension.

How to customize <input type="file">?

Here is a quick pure CSS workaround (works on chrome and has a FireFox fallback included), including the file name,a label and an custom upload button, does what it should - no need of JavaScript at all!

Note: ? This works on Chrome and has a FireFox fallback - anyways, I would not use it on a real world website - if browser compatibility is a thing to you (what it should be). So it's more kind of experimental.

Build .so file from .c file using gcc command line

To generate a shared library you need first to compile your C code with the -fPIC (position independent code) flag.

gcc -c -fPIC hello.c -o hello.o

This will generate an object file (.o), now you take it and create the .so file:

gcc hello.o -shared -o libhello.so

EDIT: Suggestions from the comments:

You can use

gcc -shared -o libhello.so -fPIC hello.c

to do it in one step. – Jonathan Leffler

I also suggest to add -Wall to get all warnings, and -g to get debugging information, to your gcc commands. – Basile Starynkevitch

how can I enable scrollbars on the WPF Datagrid?

Extracting extension from filename in Python

Another solution with right split:

# to get extension only

s = 'test.ext'

if '.' in s: ext = s.rsplit('.', 1)[1]

# or, to get file name and extension

def split_filepath(s):
    """
    get filename and extension from filepath 
    filepath -> (filename, extension)
    """
    if not '.' in s: return (s, '')
    r = s.rsplit('.', 1)
    return (r[0], r[1])

 git reset --hard # making sure you didn't have uncommited changes earlier 

It worked very fine to me.

Abstract Class:-Real Time Example

I use often abstract classes in conjuction with Template method pattern.
In main abstract class I wrote the skeleton of main algorithm and make abstract methods as hooks where suclasses can make a specific implementation; I used often when writing data parser (or processor) that need to read data from one different place (file, database or some other sources), have similar processing step (maybe small differences) and different output.
This pattern looks like Strategy pattern but it give you less granularity and can degradated to a difficult mantainable code if main code grow too much or too exceptions from main flow are required (this considerations came from my experience).
Just a small example:

abstract class MainProcess {
  public static class Metrics {
    int skipped;
    int processed;
    int stored;
    int error;
  }
  private Metrics metrics;
  protected abstract Iterator<Item> readObjectsFromSource();
  protected abstract boolean storeItem(Item item);
  protected Item processItem(Item item) {
    /* do something on item and return it to store, or null to skip */
    return item;
  }
  public Metrics getMetrics() {
    return metrics;
  }
  /* Main method */
  final public void process() {
    this.metrics = new Metrics();
    Iterator<Item> items = readObjectsFromSource();
    for(Item item : items) {
      metrics.processed++;
      item = processItem(item);
      if(null != item) {

        if(storeItem(item))
          metrics.stored++;
        else
          metrics.error++;
      }
      else {
        metrics.skipped++;
      }
    }
  } 
}

class ProcessFromDatabase extends MainProcess {
  ProcessFromDatabase(String query) {
    this.query = query;
  }
  protected Iterator<Item> readObjectsFromSource() {
    return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().query(query).list();
  }
  protected boolean storeItem(Item item) {
    return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().saveOrUpdate(item);
  }
}

Here another example.

How to retry image pull in a kubernetes Pods?

Usually in case of "ImagePullBackOff" it's retried after few seconds/minutes. In case you want to try again manually you can delete the old pod and recreate the pod. The one line command to delete and recreate the pod would be:

kubectl replace --force -f <yml_file_describing_pod>

List comprehension with if statement

If you use sufficiently big list not in b clause will do a linear search for each of the item in a. Why not use set? Set takes iterable as parameter to create a new set object.

>>> a = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
>>> b = ["c", "d", "f", "g"]
>>> set(a).intersection(set(b))
{'c', 'd'}

How to get the containing form of an input?

Native DOM elements that are inputs also have a form attribute that points to the form they belong to:

var form = element.form;
alert($(form).attr('name'));

According to w3schools, the .form property of input fields is supported by IE 4.0+, Firefox 1.0+, Opera 9.0+, which is even more browsers that jQuery guarantees, so you should stick to this.

If this were a different type of element (not an <input>), you could find the closest parent with closest:

var $form = $(element).closest('form');
alert($form.attr('name'));

Also, see this MDN link on the form property of HTMLInputElement:

JavaScript: Upload file

Unless you're trying to upload the file using ajax, just submit the form to /upload/image.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/upload/image" method="post">
    <input id="image-file" type="file" />
</form>

If you do want to upload the image in the background (e.g. without submitting the whole form), you can use ajax:

Salt and hash a password in Python

Firstly import:-

import hashlib, uuid

Then change your code according to this in your method:

uname = request.form["uname"]
pwd=request.form["pwd"]
salt = hashlib.md5(pwd.encode())

Then pass this salt and uname in your database sql query, below login is a table name:

sql = "insert into login values ('"+uname+"','"+email+"','"+salt.hexdigest()+"')"

The request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found in springboot

I was having the same problem while making a POST request from Postman and later I could solve the problem by setting a custom Content-Type with a boundary value set along with it like this.

I thought people can run into similar problem and hence, I'm sharing my solution.

postman

iOS 7.0 No code signing identities found

I had the exact same problem in development. I solved it by

  1. Go to XCode preferences, view details of the Apple ID, and delete the provisioning file that's complaining.
  2. Go to the Keychain Access, and delete the development certificate that's related to the provisioning file you just deleted.
  3. In Apple Member Center, download the development provisioning file you just deleted locally, double click the file to make sure it's appearing in XCode.
  4. Download the development certificate you just deleted locally, and double click to make sure it appears in the Keychain Access.
  5. It should be good to go now.

Calculate execution time of a SQL query?

Please use

-- turn on statistics IO for IO related 
SET STATISTICS IO ON 
GO

and for time calculation use

SET STATISTICS TIME ON
GO

then It will give result for every query . In messages window near query input window.

selecting unique values from a column

Depends on what you need.

In this case I suggest:

SELECT DISTINCT(Date) AS Date FROM buy ORDER BY Date DESC;

because there are few fields and the execution time of DISTINCT is lower than the execution of GROUP BY.

In other cases, for example where there are many fields, I prefer:

SELECT * FROM buy GROUP BY date ORDER BY date DESC;

Using request.setAttribute in a JSP page

No. Unfortunately the Request object is only available until the page finishes loading - once it's complete, you'll lose all values in it unless they've been stored somewhere.

If you want to persist attributes through requests you need to either:

  1. Have a hidden input in your form, such as <input type="hidden" name="myhiddenvalue" value="<%= request.getParameter("value") %>" />. This will then be available in the servlet as a request parameter.
  2. Put it in the session (see request.getSession() - in a JSP this is available as simply session)

I recommend using the Session as it's easier to manage.

HTML Input Box - Disable

<input type="text" required="true" value="" readonly="true">

This will make a text box in readonly mode, might be helpful in generating passwords and datepickers.

CSS transition between left -> right and top -> bottom positions

This worked for me on Chromium. The % for translate is in reference to the size of the bounding box of the element it is applied to so it perfectly gets the element to the lower right edge while not having to switch which property is used to specify it's location.

topleft {
  top: 0%;
  left: 0%;
}
bottomright {
  top: 100%;
  left: 100%;
  -webkit-transform: translate(-100%,-100%);
}

Disable dragging an image from an HTML page

Directly use this: ondragstart="return false;" in your image tag.

<img src="http://image-example.png" ondragstart="return false;"/>

If you have multiple images, wrapped on a <div> tag:

<div ondragstart="return false;">
   <img src="image1.png"/>
   <img scr="image2.png"/>
</div>

Works in all major browsers.

How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?

Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
}

usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
});

And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
});

To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
    if ($retval == 0) {
        $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder'];
        if ($retval == 0) {
            $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder'];
        }
    }
    return $retval;
});

If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual

LDAP root query syntax to search more than one specific OU

It's simple. Just change the port. Use 3268 instead of 389. If your domain name DOMAIN.LOCAL, in search put DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL

Port 3268: This port is used for queries that are specifically targeted for the global catalog. LDAP requests sent to port 3268 can be used to search objects in the entire forest. However, only the attributes marked for replication to the global catalog can be returned.

Port 389: This port is used for requesting information from the Domain Controller. LDAP requests sent to port 389 can be used to search objects only within the global catalog’s home domain. However, the application can possible to obtain all of the attributes searched objects.

The more "functional" approach without using those ugly while loops:

def tryAgain(retries=0):
    if retries > 10: return

    except:
        retries+=1
        tryAgain(retries)

What is difference between 'git reset --hard HEAD~1' and 'git reset --soft HEAD~1'?

This is a useful article which graphically shows the explanation of the reset command.

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-reset

Reset --hard can be quite dangerous as it overwrites your working copy without checking, so if you haven't commited the file at all, it is gone.

As for Source tree, there is no way I know of to undo commits. It would most likely use reset under the covers anyway

Difference between SET autocommit=1 and START TRANSACTION in mysql (Have I missed something?)

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html

The correct way to use LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES with transactional tables, such as InnoDB tables, is to begin a transaction with SET autocommit = 0 (not START TRANSACTION) followed by LOCK TABLES, and to not call UNLOCK TABLES until you commit the transaction explicitly. For example, if you need to write to table t1 and read from table t2, you can do this:

SET autocommit=0;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 READ, ...;... do something with tables t1 and t2 here ...
COMMIT;
UNLOCK TABLES;

Combine two ActiveRecord::Relation objects

If you want to combine using AND (intersection), use merge:

first_name_relation.merge(last_name_relation)

If you want to combine using OR (union), use or:

first_name_relation.or(last_name_relation)

Only in ActiveRecord 5+; for 4.2 install the where-or backport.

How to delete a specific line in a file?

Solution to this problem with only a single open:

with open("target.txt", "r+") as f:
    d = f.readlines()
    f.seek(0)
    for i in d:
        if i != "line you want to remove...":
            f.write(i)
    f.truncate()

This solution opens the file in r/w mode ("r+") and makes use of seek to reset the f-pointer then truncate to remove everything after the last write.

Git: Recover deleted (remote) branch

I think that you have a mismatched config for 'fetch' and 'push' so this has caused default fetch/push to not round trip properly. Fortunately you have fetched the branches that you subsequently deleted so you should be able to recreate them with an explicit push.

git push origin origin/contact_page:contact_page origin/new_pictures:new_pictures

Interfaces with static fields in java for sharing 'constants'

It's generally considered bad practice. The problem is that the constants are part of the public "interface" (for want of a better word) of the implementing class. This means that the implementing class is publishing all of these values to external classes even when they are only required internally. The constants proliferate throughout the code. An example is the SwingConstants interface in Swing, which is implemented by dozens of classes that all "re-export" all of its constants (even the ones that they don't use) as their own.

But don't just take my word for it, Josh Bloch also says it's bad:

The constant interface pattern is a poor use of interfaces. That a class uses some constants internally is an implementation detail. Implementing a constant interface causes this implementation detail to leak into the class's exported API. It is of no consequence to the users of a class that the class implements a constant interface. In fact, it may even confuse them. Worse, it represents a commitment: if in a future release the class is modified so that it no longer needs to use the constants, it still must implement the interface to ensure binary compatibility. If a nonfinal class implements a constant interface, all of its subclasses will have their namespaces polluted by the constants in the interface.

An enum may be a better approach. Or you could simply put the constants as public static fields in a class that cannot be instantiated. This allows another class to access them without polluting its own API.

Matplotlib scatterplot; colour as a function of a third variable

Sometimes you may need to plot color precisely based on the x-value case. For example, you may have a dataframe with 3 types of variables and some data points. And you want to do following,

  • Plot points corresponding to Physical variable 'A' in RED.
  • Plot points corresponding to Physical variable 'B' in BLUE.
  • Plot points corresponding to Physical variable 'C' in GREEN.

In this case, you may have to write to short function to map the x-values to corresponding color names as a list and then pass on that list to the plt.scatter command.

x=['A','B','B','C','A','B']
y=[15,30,25,18,22,13]

# Function to map the colors as a list from the input list of x variables
def pltcolor(lst):
    cols=[]
    for l in lst:
        if l=='A':
            cols.append('red')
        elif l=='B':
            cols.append('blue')
        else:
            cols.append('green')
    return cols
# Create the colors list using the function above
cols=pltcolor(x)

plt.scatter(x=x,y=y,s=500,c=cols) #Pass on the list created by the function here
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

How to make sure docker's time syncs with that of the host?

You can add your local files (/etc/timezone and /etc/localtime) as volume in your Docker container.

Update your docker-compose.yml with the following lines.

volumes:
    - "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro"
    - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"

Now the container time is the same as on your host.

vertical align middle in <div>

I found this solution by Sebastian Ekström. It's quick, dirty, and works really well. Even if you don't know the parent's height:

  -webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
  -ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Way to read first few lines for pandas dataframe

I think you can use the nrows parameter. From the docs:

nrows : int, default None

    Number of rows of file to read. Useful for reading pieces of large files

which seems to work. Using one of the standard large test files (988504479 bytes, 5344499 lines):

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: time z = pd.read_csv("P00000001-ALL.csv", nrows=20)
CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
Wall time: 0.00 s

In [3]: len(z)
Out[3]: 20

In [4]: time z = pd.read_csv("P00000001-ALL.csv")
CPU times: user 27.63 s, sys: 1.92 s, total: 29.55 s
Wall time: 30.23 s

window.history.pushState refreshing the browser

As others have suggested, you are not clearly explaining your problem, what you are trying to do, or what your expectations are as to what this function is actually supposed to do.

If I have understood correctly, then you are expecting this function to refresh the page for you (you actually use the term "reloads the browser").

But this function is not intended to reload the browser.

All the function does, is to add (push) a new "state" onto the browser history, so that in future, the user will be able to return to this state that the web-page is now in.

Normally, this is used in conjunction with AJAX calls (which refresh only a part of the page).

For example, if a user does a search "CATS" in one of your search boxes, and the results of the search (presumably cute pictures of cats) are loaded back via AJAX, into the lower-right of your page -- then your page state will not be changed. In other words, in the near future, when the user decides that he wants to go back to his search for "CATS", he won't be able to, because the state doesn't exist in his history. He will only be able to click back to your blank search box.

Hence the need for the function

history.pushState({},"Results for `Cats`",'url.html?s=cats');

It is intended as a way to allow the programmer to specifically define his search into the user's history trail. That's all it is intended to do.

When the function is working properly, the only thing you should expect to see, is the address in your browser's address-bar change to whatever you specify in your URL.

If you already understand this, then sorry for this long preamble. But it sounds from the way you pose the question, that you have not.

As an aside, I have also found some contradictions between the way that the function is described in the documentation, and the way it works in reality. I find that it is not a good idea to use blank or empty values as parameters.

See my answer to this SO question. So I would recommend putting a description in your second parameter. From memory, this is the description that the user sees in the drop-down, when he clicks-and-holds his mouse over "back" button.

Catching errors in Angular HttpClient

The worse thing is not having a decent stack trace which you simply cannot generate using an HttpInterceptor (hope to stand corrected). All you get is a load of zone and rxjs useless bloat, and not the line or class that generated the error.

To do this you will need to generate a stack in an extended HttpClient, so its not advisable to do this in a production environment.

/**
 * Extended HttpClient that generates a stack trace on error when not in a production build.
 */
@Injectable()
export class TraceHttpClient extends HttpClient {
  constructor(handler: HttpHandler) {
    super(handler);
  }

  request(...args: [any]): Observable<any> {
    const stack = environment.production ? null : Error().stack;
    return super.request(...args).pipe(
      catchError((err) => {
        // tslint:disable-next-line:no-console
        if (stack) console.error('HTTP Client error stack\n', stack);
        return throwError(err);
      })
    );
  }
}

How to change owner of PostgreSql database?

Frank Heikens answer will only update database ownership. Often, you also want to update ownership of contained objects (including tables). Starting with Postgres 8.2, REASSIGN OWNED is available to simplify this task.

IMPORTANT EDIT!

Never use REASSIGN OWNED when the original role is postgres, this could damage your entire DB instance. The command will update all objects with a new owner, including system resources (postgres0, postgres1, etc.)


First, connect to admin database and update DB ownership:

psql
postgres=# REASSIGN OWNED BY old_name TO new_name;

This is a global equivalent of ALTER DATABASE command provided in Frank's answer, but instead of updating a particular DB, it change ownership of all DBs owned by 'old_name'.

The next step is to update tables ownership for each database:

psql old_name_db
old_name_db=# REASSIGN OWNED BY old_name TO new_name;

This must be performed on each DB owned by 'old_name'. The command will update ownership of all tables in the DB.

Conditionally ignoring tests in JUnit 4

A quick note: Assume.assumeTrue(condition) ignores rest of the steps but passes the test. To fail the test, use org.junit.Assert.fail() inside the conditional statement. Works same like Assume.assumeTrue() but fails the test.

how to set auto increment column with sql developer

If you want to make your PK auto increment, you need to set the ID column property for that primary key.

  1. Right click on the table and select "Edit".
  2. In "Edit" Table window, select "columns", and then select your PK column.
  3. Go to ID Column tab and select Column Sequence as Type. This will create a trigger and a sequence, and associate the sequence to primary key.

See the picture below for better understanding.

Change background color for selected ListBox item

You have to create a new template for item selection like this.

                BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderThickness}"
                Padding="{TemplateBinding Control.Padding}"
                BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderBrush}"
                Background="{TemplateBinding Panel.Background}"
                SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
                <ContentPresenter
                    Content="{TemplateBinding ContentControl.Content}"
                    ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentControl.ContentTemplate}"
                    HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding Control.HorizontalContentAlignment}"
                    VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding Control.VerticalContentAlignment}"
                    SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding UIElement.SnapsToDevicePixels}" />
            </Border>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

XSLT getting last element

You need to put the last() indexing on the nodelist result, rather than as part of the selection criteria. Try:

Proper way to concatenate variable strings

As simple as joining lists in python itself.

ansible -m debug -a msg="{{ '-'.join(('list', 'joined', 'together')) }}" localhost

localhost | SUCCESS => {
  "msg": "list-joined-together" }

Works the same way using variables:

ansible -m debug -a msg="{{ '-'.join((var1, var2, var3)) }}" localhost

How to use a variable of one method in another method?

You can't. Variables defined inside a method are local to that method.

If you want to share variables between methods, then you'll need to specify them as member variables of the class. Alternatively, you can pass them from one method to another as arguments (this isn't always applicable).


Looks like you're using instance methods instead of static ones.

If you don't want to create an object, you should declare all your methods static, so something like

private static void methodName(Argument args...)

If you want a variable to be accessible by all these methods, you should initialise it outside the methods and to limit its scope, declare it private.

private static int[][] array = new int[3][5];

Global variables are usually looked down upon (especially for situations like your one) because in a large-scale program they can wreak havoc, so making it private will prevent some problems at the least.

Also, I'll say the usual: You should try to keep your code a bit tidy. Use descriptive class, method and variable names and keep your code neat (with proper indentation, linebreaks etc.) and consistent.

Here's a final (shortened) example of what your code should be like:

public class Test3 {
    //Use this array in your methods
    private static int[][] scores = new int[3][5];

    /* Rather than just "Scores" name it so people know what
     * to expect
     */
    private static void createScores() {
        //Code...
    }
    //Other methods...

    /* Since you're now using static methods, you don't 
     * have to initialise an object and call its methods.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args){
        createScores();
        MD();   //Don't know what these do
        sumD(); //so I'll leave them.
    }
}

Ideally, since you're using an array, you would create the array in the main method and pass it as an argument across each method, but explaining how that works is probably a whole new question on its own so I'll leave it at that.

How to read a local text file?

You need to check for status 0 (as when loading files locally with XMLHttpRequest, you don't get a status returned because it's not from a Webserver)

function readTextFile(file)
{
    var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
    rawFile.open("GET", file, false);
    rawFile.onreadystatechange = function ()
    {
        if(rawFile.readyState === 4)
        {
            if(rawFile.status === 200 || rawFile.status == 0)
            {
                var allText = rawFile.responseText;
                alert(allText);
            }
        }
    }
    rawFile.send(null);
}

And specify file:// in your filename:

readTextFile("file:///C:/your/path/to/file.txt");

Code-first vs Model/Database-first

Database first approach example:

Without writing any code: ASP.NET MVC / MVC3 Database First Approach / Database first

And I think it is better than other approaches because data loss is less with this approach.

How to add shortcut keys for java code in eclipse

I've been Eclipse-free for over a year now, but I believe Eclipse calls these "Templates". Look in your settings for them. You invoke a template by typing its abbreviation and pressing the normal code completion hotkey (ctrl+space by default) or using the Tab key. The standard eclipse shortcut for System.out.println() is "sysout", so "sysout" would do what you want.

Here's another stackoverflow question that has some more details about it: How to use the "sysout" snippet in Eclipse with selected text?

How do I check out a specific version of a submodule using 'git submodule'?

Submodule repositories stay in a detached HEAD state pointing to a specific commit. Changing that commit simply involves checking out a different tag or commit then adding the change to the parent repository.

$ cd submodule
$ git checkout v2.0
Previous HEAD position was 5c1277e... bumped version to 2.0.5
HEAD is now at f0a0036... version 2.0

git-status on the parent repository will now report a dirty tree:

# On branch dev [...]
#
#   modified:   submodule (new commits)

Add the submodule directory and commit to store the new pointer.

    prepand = ' AM';
  }

How to export plots from matplotlib with transparent background?

Use the matplotlib savefig function with the keyword argument transparent=True to save the image as a png file.

In [30]: x = np.linspace(0,6,31)

In [31]: y = np.exp(-0.5*x) * np.sin(x)

In [32]: plot(x, y, 'bo-')
Out[32]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x3f29750>]            

In [33]: savefig('demo.png', transparent=True)

Result: demo.png

Of course, that plot doesn't demonstrate the transparency. Here's a screenshot of the PNG file displayed using the ImageMagick display command. The checkerboard pattern is the background that is visible through the transparent parts of the PNG file.

How to access share folder in virtualbox. Host Win7, Guest Fedora 16?

This thread has some great tips. However....

@GirishB's answer isn't correct - sorry. Jartender's is best.

Also, every post in here seems to assume you're logging in to the Linux guest as root, except for @tomoguisuru. Yuck! Don't use root, use a separate user account and "sudo" when you need root privileges. Then this user (or any other user who needs the shared folder) should have membership in the vboxsf group, and @tomoguisuru's command is perfect, even terser than what I use.

Forget running mount yourself. Set up the shared folder to auto mount and you'll find the shared folder - it's under /media in my OEL (RH and Centos probably the same). If it's not there, just run "mount" with no arguments and look for the mounted directory of type vboxsf.

Why are hexadecimal numbers prefixed with 0x?

Short story: The 0 tells the parser it's dealing with a constant (and not an identifier/reserved word). Something is still needed to specify the number base: the x is an arbitrary choice.

Long story: In the 60's, the prevalent programming number systems were decimal and octal — mainframes had 12, 24 or 36 bits per byte, which is nicely divisible by 3 = log2(8).

The BCPL language used the syntax 8 1234 for octal numbers. When Ken Thompson created B from BCPL, he used the 0 prefix instead. This is great because

  1. an integer constant now always consists of a single token,
  2. the parser can still tell right away it's got a constant,
  3. the parser can immediately tell the base (0 is the same in both bases),
  4. it's mathematically sane (00005 == 05), and
  5. no precious special characters are needed (as in #123).

When C was created from B, the need for hexadecimal numbers arose (the PDP-11 had 16-bit words) and all of the points above were still valid. Since octals were still needed for other machines, 0x was arbitrarily chosen (00 was probably ruled out as awkward).

C# is a descendant of C, so it inherits the syntax.

Why cannot change checkbox color whatever I do?

Can be very simplified like that :

input[type="checkbox"]{
    outline:2px solid red;
    outline-offset: -2px;
}

Works without any plugin :)

How do I clear inner HTML

The h1 tags unfortunately do not receive the onmouseout events.

The simple Javascript snippet below will work for all elements and uses only 1 mouse event.

Note: "The borders in the snippet are applied to provide a visual demarcation of the elements."

_x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.onmousemove = function(){ move("The dog is in its shed"); };_x000D_
_x000D_
document.body.style.border = "2px solid red";_x000D_
document.getElementById("h1Tag").style.border = "2px solid blue";_x000D_
_x000D_
function move(what) {_x000D_
    if(event.target.id == "h1Tag"){ document.getElementById("goy").innerHTML = "what"; } else { document.getElementById("goy").innerHTML = ""; }_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<h1 id="h1Tag">lalala</h1>_x000D_
<div id="goy"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This can also be done in pure CSS by adding the hover selector css property to the h1 tag.

How to restore the permissions of files and directories within git if they have been modified?

I use git from cygwin on Windows, the git apply solution doesn't work for me. Here is my solution, run chmod on every file to reset its permissions.

#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\n'
for c in `git diff -p |sed -n '/diff --git/{N;s/diff --git//g;s/\n/ /g;s# a/.* b/##g;s/old mode //g;s/\(.*\) 100\(.*\)/chmod \2 \1/g;p}'`
