Is there a standard sign function (signum, sgn) in C/C++?

Surprised no one has posted the type-safe C++ version yet:

template <typename T> int sgn(T val) {
    return (T(0) < val) - (val < T(0));
}

Benefits:

  • Actually implements signum (-1, 0, or 1). Implementations here using copysign only return -1 or 1, which is not signum. Also, some implementations here are returning a float (or T) rather than an int, which seems wasteful.
  • Works for ints, floats, doubles, unsigned shorts, or any custom types constructible from integer 0 and orderable.
  • Fast! copysign is slow, especially if you need to promote and then narrow again. This is branchless and optimizes excellently
  • Standards-compliant! The bitshift hack is neat, but only works for some bit representations, and doesn't work when you have an unsigned type. It could be provided as a manual specialization when appropriate.
  • Accurate! Simple comparisons with zero can maintain the machine's internal high-precision representation (e.g. 80 bit on x87), and avoid a premature round to zero.

Caveats:

  • It's a template so it might take longer to compile in some circumstances.
  • Apparently some people think use of a new, somewhat esoteric, and very slow standard library function that doesn't even really implement signum is more understandable.
  • The < 0 part of the check triggers GCC's -Wtype-limits warning when instantiated for an unsigned type. You can avoid this by using some overloads:

    template <typename T> inline constexpr
    int signum(T x, std::false_type is_signed) {
        return T(0) < x;
    }
    
    template <typename T> inline constexpr
    int signum(T x, std::true_type is_signed) {
        return (T(0) < x) - (x < T(0));
    }
    
    template <typename T> inline constexpr
    int signum(T x) {
        return signum(x, std::is_signed<T>());
    }
    

    (Which is a good example of the first caveat.)

How to print an exception in Python?

Python 3: logging

Instead of using the basic print() function, the more flexible logging module can be used to log the exception. The logging module offers a lot extra functionality, e.g. logging messages into a given log file, logging messages with timestamps and additional information about where the logging happened. (For more information check out the official documentation.)

Logging an exception can be done with the module-level function logging.exception() like so:

import logging

try:
    1/0
except BaseException:
    logging.exception("An exception was thrown!")

Output:

ERROR:root:An exception was thrown!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../Desktop/test.py", line 4, in <module>
    1/0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero 

Notes:

  • the function logging.exception() should only be called from an exception handler

  • the logging module should not be used inside a logging handler to avoid a RecursionError (thanks @PrakharPandey)


Alternative log-levels

It's also possible to log the exception with another log-level by using the keyword argument exc_info=True like so:

logging.debug("An exception was thrown!", exc_info=True)
logging.info("An exception was thrown!", exc_info=True)
logging.warning("An exception was thrown!", exc_info=True)

Not equal to != and !== in PHP

You can find the info here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

It's scarce because it wasn't added until PHP4. What you have is fine though, if you know there may be a type difference then it's a much better comparison, since it's testing value and type in the comparison, not just value.

How to solve static declaration follows non-static declaration in GCC C code?

While gcc 3.2.3 was more forgiving of the issue, gcc 4.1.2 is highlighting a potentially serious issue for the linking of your program later. Rather then trying to suppress the error you should make the forward declaration match the function declaration.

If you intended for the function to be globally available (as per the forward declaration) then don't subsequently declare it as static. Likewise if it's indented to be locally scoped then make the forward declaration static to match.

Python's "in" set operator

Strings, though they are not set types, have a valuable in property during validation in scripts:

yn = input("Are you sure you want to do this? ")
if yn in "yes":
    #accepts 'y' OR 'e' OR 's' OR 'ye' OR 'es' OR 'yes'
    return True
return False

I hope this helps you better understand the use of in with this example.

How do I execute a MS SQL Server stored procedure in java/jsp, returning table data?

Thank to Brian for the code. I was trying to connect to the sql server with {call spname(?,?)} and I got errors, but when I change my code to exec sp... it works very well.

I post my code in hope this helps others with problems like mine:

ResultSet rs = null;
PreparedStatement cs=null;
Connection conn=getJNDIConnection();

try {
    cs=conn.prepareStatement("exec sp_name ?,?,?,?,?,?,?");
    cs.setEscapeProcessing(true);
    cs.setQueryTimeout(90);

    cs.setString(1, "valueA");

    cs.setString(2, "valueB");

    cs.setString(3, "0418");

    //commented, because no need to register parameters out!, I got results from the resultset. 
    //cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.VARCHAR);
    //cs.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);

    rs = cs.executeQuery();
    ArrayList<ObjectX> listaObjectX = new ArrayList<ObjectX>();
    while (rs.next()) {

        ObjectX to = new ObjectX();
        to.setFecha(rs.getString(1));
        to.setRefId(rs.getString(2));

Return 0 if field is null in MySQL

Yes IFNULL function will be working to achieve your desired result.

         FROM uc_order_products uop 
         WHERE uo.order_id = uop.order_id
        ) AS products_subtotal,

        ) AS line_item_subtotal

        AND uo.uid = 4172;

jQuery when element becomes visible

A catch-all jQuery custom event based on an extension of it's core methods like it was proposed by different people in this thread:

(function() {
    var ev = new $.Event('event.css.jquery'),
        css = $.fn.css,
        show = $.fn.show,
        hide = $.fn.hide;

    // extends css()
    $.fn.css = function() {
        css.apply(this, arguments);
        $(this).trigger(ev);
    };

    // extends show()
    $.fn.show = function() {
        show.apply(this, arguments);
        $(this).trigger(ev);
    };

    // extends hide()
    $.fn.hide = function() {
        hide.apply(this, arguments);
        $(this).trigger(ev);
    };
})();

An external library then, uses sth like $('selector').css('property', value).

As we don't want to alter the library's code but we DO want to extend it's behavior we do sth like:

$('#element').on('event.css.jquery', function(e) {
    // ...more code here...
});

Example: user clicks on a panel that is built by a library. The library shows/hides elements based on user interaction. We want to add a sensor that shows that sth has been hidden/shown because of that interaction and should be called after the library's function.

Another example: jsfiddle.

Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date + The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

FYI this turned out to be an issue for me where I had two tables in a statement like the following:

SELECT * FROM table1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM table2

It worked, but then somewhere along the line the order of columns in one of the table definitions got changed. Changing the * to SELECT column1, column2 fixed the issue. No idea how that happened, but lesson learned!

What is 'Context' on Android?

What's Context exactly?

Per the Android reference documentation, it's an entity that represents various environment data. It provides access to local files, databases, class loaders associated to the environment, services (including system-level services), and more. Throughout this book, and in your day-to-day coding with Android, you'll see the Context passed around frequently.

From the "Android in Practice" book, p. 60.

Several Android APIs require a Context as parameter

If you look through the various Android APIs, you’ll notice that many of them take an android.content.Context object as a parameter. You’ll also see that an Activity or a Service is usually used as a Context. This works because both of these classes extend from Context.

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for 'root' With All Privileges

Store output of sed into a variable

line=`sed -n 2p myfile`
echo $line

Check if item is in an array / list

Assuming you mean "list" where you say "array", you can do

if item in my_list:
    # whatever

This works for any collection, not just for lists. For dictionaries, it checks whether the given key is present in the dictionary.

PHP - If variable is not empty, echo some html code

isset will return true even if the variable is "". isset returns false only if a variable is null. What you should be doing:

if (!empty($web)) {
    // foo
}

This will check that he variable is not empty.

Hope this helps

Using Jquery AJAX function with datatype HTML

  data: {
      email : $('#email').val()
  },
  success : function(data){

      $('#message').removeClass().addClass((data == '') ? 'error' : 'success')
     .html(data).show(500);
      if (data == '') {
          $('#message').html("Format your email correcly");
          $('#demoForm').show(500);
      }
  },
  error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {

      $('#message').removeClass().addClass('error')
      .text('There was an error.').show(500);
      $('#demoForm').show(500);
  }

});

Where's the DateTime 'Z' format specifier?

Round tripping dates through strings has always been a pain...but the docs to indicate that the 'o' specifier is the one to use for round tripping which captures the UTC state. When parsed the result will usually have Kind == Utc if the original was UTC. I've found that the best thing to do is always normalize dates to either UTC or local prior to serializing then instruct the parser on which normalization you've chosen.

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
DateTime utcNow = now.ToUniversalTime();

string nowStr = now.ToString( "o" );
string utcNowStr = utcNow.ToString( "o" );

now = DateTime.Parse( nowStr );
utcNow = DateTime.Parse( nowStr, null, DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal );

Debug.Assert( now == utcNow );

Multi-gradient shapes

I don't think you can do this in XML (at least not in Android), but I've found a good solution posted here that looks like it'd be a great help!

ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory sf = new ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory() {
    @Override
    public Shader resize(int width, int height) {
        LinearGradient lg = new LinearGradient(0, 0, width, height,
            new int[]{Color.GREEN, Color.GREEN, Color.WHITE, Color.WHITE},
            new float[]{0,0.5f,.55f,1}, Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);
        return lg;
    }
};

PaintDrawable p=new PaintDrawable();
p.setShape(new RectShape());
p.setShaderFactory(sf);

Basically, the int array allows you to select multiple color stops, and the following float array defines where those stops are positioned (from 0 to 1). You can then, as stated, just use this as a standard Drawable.

Edit: Here's how you could use this in your scenario. Let's say you have a Button defined in XML like so:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/thebutton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Press Me!"
    />

You'd then put something like this in your onCreate() method:

Button theButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thebutton);
ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory sf = new ShapeDrawable.ShaderFactory() {
    @Override
    public Shader resize(int width, int height) {
        LinearGradient lg = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 0, theButton.getHeight(),
            new int[] { 
                Color.LIGHT_GREEN, 
                Color.WHITE, 
                Color.MID_GREEN, 
                Color.DARK_GREEN }, //substitute the correct colors for these
            new float[] {
                0, 0.45f, 0.55f, 1 },
            Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);
         return lg;
    }
};
PaintDrawable p = new PaintDrawable();
p.setShape(new RectShape());
p.setShaderFactory(sf);
theButton.setBackground((Drawable)p);

I cannot test this at the moment, this is code from my head, but basically just replace, or add stops for the colors that you need. Basically, in my example, you would start with a light green, fade to white slightly before the center (to give a fade, rather than a harsh transition), fade from white to mid green between 45% and 55%, then fade from mid green to dark green from 55% to the end. This may not look exactly like your shape (Right now, I have no way of testing these colors), but you can modify this to replicate your example.

Edit: Also, the 0, 0, 0, theButton.getHeight() refers to the x0, y0, x1, y1 coordinates of the gradient. So basically, it starts at x = 0 (left side), y = 0 (top), and stretches to x = 0 (we're wanting a vertical gradient, so no left to right angle is necessary), y = the height of the button. So the gradient goes at a 90 degree angle from the top of the button to the bottom of the button.

Edit: Okay, so I have one more idea that works, haha. Right now it works in XML, but should be doable for shapes in Java as well. It's kind of complex, and I imagine there's a way to simplify it into a single shape, but this is what I've got for now:

green_horizontal_gradient.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle"
    >
    <corners
        android:radius="3dp"
        />
    <gradient
        android:angle="0"
        android:startColor="#FF63a34a"
        android:endColor="#FF477b36"
        android:type="linear"
        />    
</shape>

half_overlay.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle"
    >
    <solid
        android:color="#40000000"
        />
</shape>

layer_list.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/green_horizontal_gradient"
        android:id="@+id/green_gradient"
        />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/half_overlay"
        android:id="@+id/half_overlay"
        android:top="50dp"
        />
</layer-list>

test.xml

<?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="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    >
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/image_test"
        android:background="@drawable/layer_list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Layer List Drawable!"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="26sp"     
        />
</RelativeLayout>

Okay, so basically I've created a shape gradient in XML for the horizontal green gradient, set at a 0 degree angle, going from the top area's left green color, to the right green color. Next, I made a shape rectangle with a half transparent gray. I'm pretty sure that could be inlined into the layer-list XML, obviating this extra file, but I'm not sure how. But okay, then the kind of hacky part comes in on the layer_list XML file. I put the green gradient as the bottom layer, then put the half overlay as the second layer, offset from the top by 50dp. Obviously you'd want this number to always be half of whatever your view size is, though, and not a fixed 50dp. I don't think you can use percentages, though. From there, I just inserted a TextView into my test.xml layout, using the layer_list.xml file as my background. I set the height to 100dp (twice the size of the offset of the overlay), resulting in the following:

alt text

Tada!

One more edit: I've realized you can just embed the shapes into the layer list drawable as items, meaning you don't need 3 separate XML files any more! You can achieve the same result combining them like so:

layer_list.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
    <item>
        <shape
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle"
            >
            <corners
                android:radius="3dp"
                />
            <gradient
                android:angle="0"
                android:startColor="#FF63a34a"
                android:endColor="#FF477b36"
                android:type="linear"
                />    
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item
        android:top="50dp" 
        >
        <shape
            android:shape="rectangle"
            >
            <solid
                android:color="#40000000"
                />
        </shape>            
    </item>
</layer-list>

You can layer as many items as you like this way! I may try to play around and see if I can get a more versatile result through Java.

I think this is the last edit...: Okay, so you can definitely fix the positioning through Java, like the following:

    TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.image_test);
    LayerDrawable ld = (LayerDrawable)tv.getBackground();
    int topInset = tv.getHeight() / 2 ; //does not work!
    ld.setLayerInset(1, 0, topInset, 0, 0);
    tv.setBackgroundDrawable(ld);

However! This leads to yet another annoying problem in that you cannot measure the TextView until after it has been drawn. I'm not quite sure yet how you can accomplish this...but manually inserting a number for topInset does work.

I lied, one more edit

Okay, found out how to manually update this layer drawable to match the height of the container, full description can be found here. This code should go in your onCreate() method:

final TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.image_test);
        ViewTreeObserver vto = tv.getViewTreeObserver();
        vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                LayerDrawable ld = (LayerDrawable)tv.getBackground();
                ld.setLayerInset(1, 0, tv.getHeight() / 2, 0, 0);
            }
        });

And I'm done! Whew! :)

How do I use checkboxes in an IF-THEN statement in Excel VBA 2010?

A checkbox has a linked cell, which contains the True/False representing the state of the checkbox. It is much easier to reference this cell's value than the value of the embedded object which is the checkbox.

Manually: Right click on the checkbox, choose Format, click in the Linked Cell box, and select the cell to contain the checkbox value.

In code:

Set cbTime = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(100, 100, 50, 15)
With cbTime
    .Value = xlOff ' = unchecked  xlOn = checked
    .LinkedCell = "$A$1"
End With

The problem is caused by the fact that the Model's toArray() method ignores any accessors which do not directly relate to a column in the underlying table.

As Taylor Otwell mentioned here, "This is intentional and for performance reasons." However there is an easy way to achieve this:

class EventSession extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'sessions';
    protected $appends = array('availability');

    public function getAvailabilityAttribute()
    {
        return $this->calculateAvailability();  
    }
}

Any attributes listed in the $appends property will automatically be included in the array or JSON form of the model, provided that you've added the appropriate accessor.

Old answer (for Laravel versions < 4.08):

The best solution that I've found is to override the toArray() method and either explicity set the attribute:

class Book extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'books';

    public function toArray()
    {
        $array = parent::toArray();
        $array['upper'] = $this->upper;
        return $array;
    }

    public function getUpperAttribute()
    {
        return strtoupper($this->title);    
    }

}

or, if you have lots of custom accessors, loop through them all and apply them:

class Book extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'books';

    public function toArray()
    {
        $array = parent::toArray();
        foreach ($this->getMutatedAttributes() as $key)
        {
            if ( ! array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
                $array[$key] = $this->{$key};   
            }
        }
        return $array;
    }

    public function getUpperAttribute()
    {
        return strtoupper($this->title);    
    }

}

AngularJS: Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module?

I had to change the js file, so to include "function()" at the beginning of it, and also "()" at the end line. That solved the problem

CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long when running main() method

This is not specifically for eclipse, but the way I got around this was by creating a symbolic link to my maven repository and pointing it to something like "C:\R". Then I added the following to my settings.xml file:

<localRepository>C:\R</localRepository>

The maven repository path was contributing to the length problems in my windows machine.

C# static class why use?

Making a class static just prevents people from trying to make an instance of it. If all your class has are static members it is a good practice to make the class itself static.

How can a add a row to a data frame in R?

Make certain to specify stringsAsFactors=FALSE when creating the dataframe:

> rm(list=ls())
> trigonometry <- data.frame(character(0), numeric(0), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
> colnames(trigonometry) <- c("theta", "sin.theta")
> trigonometry
[1] theta     sin.theta
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
> trigonometry[nrow(trigonometry) + 1, ] <- c("0", sin(0))
> trigonometry[nrow(trigonometry) + 1, ] <- c("pi/2", sin(pi/2))
> trigonometry
  theta sin.theta
1     0         0
2  pi/2         1
> typeof(trigonometry)
[1] "list"
> class(trigonometry)
[1] "data.frame"

Failing to use stringsAsFactors=FALSE when creating the dataframe will result in the following error when attempting to add the new row:

> trigonometry[nrow(trigonometry) + 1, ] <- c("0", sin(0))
Warning message:
In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, iseq, value = "0") :

Google maps API V3 method fitBounds()

LatLngBounds must be defined with points in (south-west, north-east) order. Your points are not in that order.

The general fix, especially if you don't know the points will definitely be in that order, is to extend an empty bounds:

var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
bounds.extend(myPlace);
bounds.extend(Item_1);
map.fitBounds(bounds);

The API will sort out the bounds.

Difference between char* and const char*?

In neither case can you modify a string literal, regardless of whether the pointer to that string literal is declared as char * or const char *.

However, the difference is that if the pointer is const char * then the compiler must give a diagnostic if you attempt to modify the pointed-to value, but if the pointer is char * then it does not.

Handling the TAB character in Java

Or you could just perform a trim() on the string to handle the case when people use spaces instead of tabs (unless you are reading makefiles)

What is InputStream & Output Stream? Why and when do we use them?

A stream is a continuous flow of liquid, air, or gas.

Java stream is a flow of data from a source into a destination. The source or destination can be a disk, memory, socket, or other programs. The data can be bytes, characters, or objects. The same applies for C# or C++ streams. A good metaphor for Java streams is water flowing from a tap into a bathtub and later into a drainage.

The data represents the static part of the stream; the read and write methods the dynamic part of the stream.

InputStream represents a flow of data from the source, the OutputStream represents a flow of data into the destination. Finally, InputStream and OutputStream are abstractions over low-level access to data, such as C file pointers.

Java, List only subdirectories from a directory, not files

This will literally list (that is, print) all subdirectories. It basically is a loop kind of where you don’t need to store the items in between to a list. This is what one most likely needs, so I leave it here.

Path directory = Paths.get("D:\\directory\\to\\list");

Files.walk(directory, 1).filter(entry -> !entry.equals(directory))
    .filter(Files::isDirectory).forEach(subdirectory ->
{
    // do whatever you want with the subdirectories
    System.out.println(subdirectory.getFileName());
});

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name after upgrading to AppCompat v23

I wanted to downgrade from API 23 to 22 and got this error. I had to change all build.gradle files in a project in order to compile.

What exceptions should be thrown for invalid or unexpected parameters in .NET?

Depending on the actual value and what exception fits best:

If this is not precise enough, just derive your own exception class from ArgumentException.

Yoooder's answer enlightened me. An input is invalid if it is not valid at any time, while an input is unexpected if it is not valid for the current state of the system. So in the later case an InvalidOperationException is a reasonable choice.

How to Make Laravel Eloquent "IN" Query?

Here is how you do in Eloquent

$users = User::whereIn('id', array(1, 2, 3))->get();

And if you are using Query builder then :

$users = DB::table('users')->whereIn('id', array(1, 2, 3))->get();

Android set height and width of Custom view programmatically

If you know the exact size of the view, just use setLayoutParams():

graphView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(width, height));

Or in Kotlin:

graphView.layoutParams = LayoutParams(width, height)

However, if you need a more flexible approach you can override onMeasure() to measure the view more precisely depending on the space available and layout constraints (wrap_content, match_parent, or a fixed size). You can find more details about onMeasure() in the android docs.

Disable developer mode extensions pop up in Chrome

This question is enormously old but is still the top result on google when you search for ways to try to disable this popup message as an extension developer who hasn't added their extension to the chrome store, doesn't have access to group policies due to their OS, and is not using the chrome dev build. There is currently no official solution in this circumstance so I'll post a somewhat 'hacky' one here.

This method has us immediately create a new window and close the old one. The popup window is associated with the original window so in normal use cases the popup never appears since that window gets closed.

The simplest solution here is we create a new window, and we close all windows that are not the window we just created in the callback:

chrome.windows.create({
    type: 'normal',
    focused: true,
    state: 'maximized'
}, function(window) {
    chrome.windows.getAll(function(windows) {
        for (var i = 0; i < windows.length; i++) {
            if (windows[i].id != window.id) {
                chrome.windows.remove(windows[i].id);
            }
        }
    });
});

Additionally we can detect how this extension is installed and only run this code if it is a development install (although probably best to completely remove altogether from release code). First we create the callback function for a chrome.management.getSelf call which allows us to check the extension's install type, which is basically just wrapping the code above in an if statement:

function suppress_dev_warning(info) {
    if (info.installType == "development") {
        chrome.windows.create({
            type: 'normal',
            focused: true,
            state: 'maximized'
        }, function(window) {
            chrome.windows.getAll(function(windows) {
                for (var i = 0; i < windows.length; i++) {
                    if (windows[i].id != window.id) {
                        chrome.windows.remove(windows[i].id);
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    }
}

next we call chrome.management.getSelf with the callback we made:

chrome.management.getSelf(suppress_dev_warning);

This method has some caveats, namely we are assuming a persistent background page which means the code runs only once when chrome is first opened. A second issue is that if we reload/refresh the extension from the chrome://extensions page, it will close all windows that are currently open and in my experience sometimes display the warning anyways. This special case can be avoided by checking if any tabs are open to "chrome://extensions" and not executing if they are.

Are loops really faster in reverse?

It depends on placement of your array in memory and the hit ratio of memory pages while you are accessing that array.

In some cases accessing array members in column order is faster than row order because of the increase in hit ratio.

Best algorithm for detecting cycles in a directed graph

The way I do it is to do a Topological Sort, counting the number of vertices visited. If that number is less than the total number of vertices in the DAG, you have a cycle.

How to change Apache Tomcat web server port number

Navigate to /tomcat-root/conf folder. Within you will find the server.xml file.

Open the server.xml in your preferred editor. Search the below similar statement (not exactly same as below will differ)

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

Going to give the port number to 9090

     <Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

Save the file and restart the server. Now the tomcat will listen at port 9090

nvm keeps "forgetting" node in new terminal session

This question has mentioned for the OSX, but it happened to me in my linux OS. I tried using nvm alias default <version> but for each new terminal session the used node version was forgotten. so, here is the solution that i figured out.

make sure to set a default alias for node version,put the following code in .bashrc, and source .bashrc.

export NVM_DIR="/home/bonnie/.nvm"
## If the file exists and is not empty
if [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ]; then
    ## Source it
    source "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
fi
NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION=$(<"$NVM_DIR/alias/default")
export PATH="$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION/bin":$PATH

What exactly does big ? notation represent?

First of All Theory

  1. Big O = Upper Limit O(n)

  2. Theta = Order Function - theta(n)

  3. Omega = Q-Notation(Lower Limit) Q(n)

Why People Are so Confused?

In many Blogs & Books How this Statement is emphasised is Like

"This is Big O(n^3)" etc.

and people often Confuse like weather

O(n) == theta(n) == Q(n)

But What Worth keeping in mind is They Are Just Mathematical Function With Names O, Theta & Omega

so they have same General Formula of Polynomial,

Let,

f(n) = 2n4 + 100n2 + 10n + 50 then,

g(n) = n4, So g(n) is Function which Take function as Input and returns Variable with Biggerst Power,

Same f(n) & g(n) for Below all explainations

Big O - Function (Provides Upper Bound)

Big O(n4) = 3n4, Because 3n4 > 2n4

3n4 is value of Big O(n4) Just like f(x) = 3x

n4 is playing a role of x here so,

Replacing n4 with x'so, Big O(x') = 2x', Now we both are happy General Concept is

So 0 = f(n) = O(x')

O(x') = cg(n) = 3n4

Putting Value,

0 = 2n4 + 100n2 + 10n + 50 = 3n4

3n4 is our Upper Bound

Theta(n) Provides Lower Bound

Theta(n4) = cg(n) = 2n4 Because 2n4 = Our Example f(n)

2n4 is Value of Theta(n4)

so, 0 = cg(n) = f(n)

0 = 2n4 = 2n4 + 100n2 + 10n + 50

2n4 is our Lower Bound

Omega n - Order Function

This is Calculated to find out that weather lower Bound is similar to Upper bound,

Case 1). Upper Bound is Similar to Lower Bound

if Upper Bound is Similar to Lower Bound, The Average Case is Similar

Example, 2n4 = f(x) = 2n4,
Then Omega(n) = 2n4

Case 2). if Upper Bound is not Similar to Lower Bound

in this case, Omega(n) is Not fixed but Omega(n) is the set of functions with the same order of growth as g(n).

Example 2n4 = f(x) = 3n4, This is Our Default Case,
Then, Omega(n) = c'n4, is a set of functions with 2 = c' = 3

Hope This Explained!!

How do I download a package from apt-get without installing it?

Received an invalid column length from the bcp client for colid 6

One of the data columns in the excel (Column Id 6) has one or more cell data that exceed the datacolumn datatype length in the database.

Verify the data in excel. Also verify the data in the excel for its format to be in compliance with the database table schema.

To avoid this, try exceeding the data-length of the string datatype in the database table.

Hope this helps.

How to declare and add items to an array in Python?

I believe you are all wrong. you need to do:

array.append ["hello"] to add to it.

How do I set up DNS for an apex domain (no www) pointing to a Heroku app?

(Note: root, base, apex domains are all the same thing. Using interchangeably for google-foo.)

Traditionally, to point your apex domain you'd use an A record pointing to your server's IP. This solution doesn't scale and isn't viable for a cloud platform like Heroku, where multiple and frequently changing backends are responsible for responding to requests.

For subdomains (like www.example.com) you can use CNAME records pointing to your-app-name.herokuapp.com. From there on, Heroku manages the dynamic A records behind your-app-name.herokuapp.com so that they're always up-to-date. Unfortunately, the DNS specification does not allow CNAME records on the zone apex (the base domain). (For example, MX records would break as the CNAME would be followed to its target first.)

Back to root domains, the simple and generic solution is to not use them at all. As a fallback measure, some DNS providers offer to setup an HTTP redirect for you. In that case, set it up so that example.com is an HTTP redirect to www.example.com.

Some DNS providers have come forward with custom solutions that allow CNAME-like behavior on the zone apex. To my knowledge, we have DNSimple's ALIAS record and DNS Made Easy's ANAME record; both behave similarly.

Using those, you could setup your records as (using zonefile notation, even tho you'll probably do this on their web user interface):

@   IN ALIAS your-app-name.herokuapp.com.
www IN CNAME your-app-name.herokuapp.com.

Remember @ here is a shorthand for the root domain (example.com). Also mind you that the trailing dots are important, both in zonefiles, and some web user interfaces.

See also:

Remarks:

  • Amazon's Route 53 also has an ALIAS record type, but it's somewhat limited, in that it only works to point within AWS. At the moment I would not recommend using this for a Heroku setup.

  • Some people confuse DNS providers with domain name registrars, as there's a bit of overlap with companies offering both. Mind you that to switch your DNS over to one of the aforementioned providers, you only need to update your nameserver records with your current domain registrar. You do not need to transfer your domain registration.

Removing the password from a VBA project

Another way to remove VBA project password is;

  • Open xls file with a hex editor. (ie. Hex Edit http://www.hexedit.com/)
  • Search for DPB
  • Replace DPB to DPx
  • Save file.
  • Open file in Excel.
  • Click "Yes" if you get any message box.
  • Set new password from VBA Project Properties.
  • Close and open again file, then type your new password to unprotect.

UPDATE: For Excel 2010 (Works for MS Office Pro Plus 2010 [14.0.6023.1000 64bit]),

  • Open the XLSX file with 7zip

If workbook is protected:

  • Browse the folder xl
  • If the workbook is protected, right click workbook.xml and select Edit
  • Find the portion <workbookProtection workbookPassword="XXXX" lockStructure="1"/> (XXXX is your encrypted password)
  • Remove XXXX part. (ie. <workbookProtection workbookPassword="" lockStructure="1"/>)
  • Save the file.
  • When 7zip asks you to update the archive, say Yes.
  • Close 7zip and re-open your XLSX.
  • Click Protect Workbook on Review tab.
  • Optional: Save your file.

If worksheets are protected:

  • Browse to xl/worksheets/ folder.
  • Right click the Sheet1.xml, sheet2.xml, etc and select Edit.
  • Find the portion <sheetProtection password="XXXX" sheet="1" objects="1" scenarios="1" />
  • Remove the encrypted password (ie. <sheetProtection password="" sheet="1" objects="1" scenarios="1" />)
  • Save the file.
  • When 7zip asks you to update the archive, say Yes.
  • Close 7zip and re-open your XLSX.
  • Click Unprotect Sheet on Review tab.
  • Optional: Save your file.

Getting list of pixel values from PIL

Not PIL, but scipy.misc.imread might still be interesting:

import scipy.misc
im = scipy.misc.imread('um_000000.png', flatten=False, mode='RGB')
print(im.shape)

gives

(480, 640, 3)

so it is (height, width, channels). So you can iterate over it by

for y in range(im.shape[0]):
    for x in range(im.shape[1]):
        color = tuple(im[y][x])
        r, g, b = color

Sublime Text 2 Code Formatting

I can't speak for the 2nd or 3rd, but if you install Node first, Sublime-HTMLPrettify works pretty well. You have to setup your own key shortcut once it is installed. One thing I noticed on Windows, you may need to edit your path for Node in the %PATH% variable if it is already long (I think the limit is 1024 for the %PATH% variable, and anything after that is ignored.)

There is a Windows bug, but in the issues there is a fix for it. You'll need to edit the HTMLPrettify.py file - https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify/issues/12

Swift 3: Display Image from URL

There's a few things with your code as it stands:

  1. You are using a lot of casting, which is not needed.
  2. You are treating your URL as a local file URL, which is not the case.
  3. You are never downloading the URL to be used by your image.

The first thing we are going to do is to declare your variable as let, as we are not going to modify it later.

let catPictureURL = URL(string: "http://i.imgur.com/w5rkSIj.jpg")! // We can force unwrap because we are 100% certain the constructor will not return nil in this case.

Then we need to download the contents of that URL. We can do this with the URLSession object. When the completion handler is called, we will have a UIImage downloaded from the web.

// Creating a session object with the default configuration.
// You can read more about it here https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/urlsessionconfiguration
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)

// Define a download task. The download task will download the contents of the URL as a Data object and then you can do what you wish with that data.
let downloadPicTask = session.dataTask(with: catPictureURL) { (data, response, error) in
    // The download has finished.
    if let e = error {
        print("Error downloading cat picture: \(e)")
    } else {
        // No errors found.
        // It would be weird if we didn't have a response, so check for that too.
        if let res = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
            print("Downloaded cat picture with response code \(res.statusCode)")
            if let imageData = data {
                // Finally convert that Data into an image and do what you wish with it.
                let image = UIImage(data: imageData)
                // Do something with your image.
            } else {
                print("Couldn't get image: Image is nil")
            }
        } else {
            print("Couldn't get response code for some reason")
        }
    }
}

Finally you need to call resume on the download task, otherwise your task will never start:

downloadPicTask.resume().

All this code may look a bit intimidating at first, but the URLSession APIs are block based so they can work asynchronously - If you block your UI thread for a few seconds, the OS will kill your app.

Your full code should look like this:

let catPictureURL = URL(string: "http://i.imgur.com/w5rkSIj.jpg")!

// Creating a session object with the default configuration.
// You can read more about it here https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/urlsessionconfiguration
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)

// Define a download task. The download task will download the contents of the URL as a Data object and then you can do what you wish with that data.
let downloadPicTask = session.dataTask(with: catPictureURL) { (data, response, error) in
    // The download has finished.
    if let e = error {
        print("Error downloading cat picture: \(e)")
    } else {
        // No errors found.
        // It would be weird if we didn't have a response, so check for that too.
        if let res = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
            print("Downloaded cat picture with response code \(res.statusCode)")
            if let imageData = data {
                // Finally convert that Data into an image and do what you wish with it.
                let image = UIImage(data: imageData)
                // Do something with your image.
            } else {
                print("Couldn't get image: Image is nil")
            }
        } else {
            print("Couldn't get response code for some reason")
        }
    }
}

downloadPicTask.resume()

Get an object's class name at runtime

You need to first cast the instance to any because Function's type definition does not have a name property.

class MyClass {
  getName() {
    return (<any>this).constructor.name;
    // OR return (this as any).constructor.name;
  }
}

// From outside the class:
var className = (<any>new MyClass()).constructor.name;
// OR var className = (new MyClass() as any).constructor.name;
console.log(className); // Should output "MyClass"

// From inside the class:
var instance = new MyClass();
console.log(instance.getName()); // Should output "MyClass"

Update:

With TypeScript 2.4 (and potentially earlier) the code can be even cleaner:

class MyClass {
  getName() {
    return this.constructor.name;
  }
}

// From outside the class:
var className = (new MyClass).constructor.name;
console.log(className); // Should output "MyClass"

// From inside the class:
var instance = new MyClass();
console.log(instance.getName()); // Should output "MyClass"

Command line: search and replace in all filenames matched by grep

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 <sed/perl/ruby cmd> will process multiple space contained file names at once loading one interpreter per batch. Much faster.

Simple conversion between java.util.Date and XMLGregorianCalendar

You can use the this customization to change the default mapping to java.util.Date

How to extract the file name from URI returned from Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT?

I'm using something like this:

String scheme = uri.getScheme();
if (scheme.equals("file")) {
    fileName = uri.getLastPathSegment();
}
else if (scheme.equals("content")) {
    String[] proj = { MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE };
    Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri, proj, null, null, null);
    if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() != 0) {
        int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        fileName = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
    }
    if (cursor != null) {
        cursor.close();
    }
}

Java 8 Stream and operation on arrays

Be careful if you have to deal with large numbers.

int[] arr = new int[]{Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MIN_VALUE};
long sum = Arrays.stream(arr).sum(); // Wrong: sum == 0

The sum above is not 2 * Integer.MIN_VALUE. You need to do this in this case.

long sum = Arrays.stream(arr).mapToLong(Long::valueOf).sum(); // Correct

IndexOf function in T-SQL

One very small nit to pick:

The RFC for email addresses allows the first part to include an "@" sign if it is quoted. Example:

"john@work"@myemployer.com

This is quite uncommon, but could happen. Theoretically, you should split on the last "@" symbol, not the first:

SELECT LEN(EmailField) - CHARINDEX('@', REVERSE(EmailField)) + 1

More information:

Python import csv to list

If you are sure there are no commas in your input, other than to separate the category, you can read the file line by line and split on ,, then push the result to List

That said, it looks like you are looking at a CSV file, so you might consider using the modules for it

How to identify object types in java

You forgot the .class:

if (value.getClass() == Integer.class) {
    System.out.println("This is an Integer");
} 
else if (value.getClass() == String.class) {
    System.out.println("This is a String");
}
else if (value.getClass() == Float.class) {
    System.out.println("This is a Float");
}

Note that this kind of code is usually the sign of a poor OO design.

Also note that comparing the class of an object with a class and using instanceof is not the same thing. For example:

"foo".getClass() == Object.class

is false, whereas

"foo" instanceof Object

is true.

Whether one or the other must be used depends on your requirements.

Clearing content of text file using php

 $fp = fopen("$address",'w+');

        fputs($fp,' ',999);                    
     } 

 fclose($fp);

ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN failed because one or more objects access this column

You must remove the constraints from the column before removing the column. The name you are referencing is a default constraint.

e.g.

alter table CompanyTransactions drop constraint [df__CompanyTr__Creat__0cdae408];
alter table CompanyTransactions drop column [Created];

Should you always favor xrange() over range()?

No, they both have their uses:

Use xrange() when iterating, as it saves memory. Say:

for x in xrange(1, one_zillion):

rather than:

for x in range(1, one_zillion):

On the other hand, use range() if you actually want a list of numbers.

multiples_of_seven = range(7,100,7)
print "Multiples of seven < 100: ", multiples_of_seven

Customize UITableView header section

Going back to the original question (4 years later), rather than rebuilding your own section header, iOS can simply call you (with willDisplayHeaderView:forSection:) right after it's built the default one. For example, I wanted to add a graph button on right edge of section header:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UITableViewHeaderFooterView * header = (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *) view;
    if (header.contentView.subviews.count >  0) return; //in case of reuse
    CGFloat rightEdge = CGRectGetMaxX(header.contentView.bounds);
    UIButton * button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(rightEdge - 44, 0, 44, CGRectGetMaxY(header.contentView.bounds))];
    [button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"graphIcon"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(graphButtonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [view addSubview:button];
}

Check if a path represents a file or a folder

    return true;
  }

How to create a new img tag with JQuery, with the src and id from a JavaScript object?

In jQuery, a new element can be created by passing a HTML string to the constructor, as shown below:

var img = $('<img id="dynamic">'); //Equivalent: $(document.createElement('img'))
img.attr('src', responseObject.imgurl);
img.appendTo('#imagediv');

Should I use 'border: none' or 'border: 0'?

(note: this answer has been updated on 2014-08-01 to make it more detailed, more accurate, and to add a live demo)

Expanding the shortand properties

According to W3C CSS2.1 specification (“Omitted values are set to their initial values”), the following properties are equivalent:

border: hidden;    border-style: hidden;
                   border-width: medium;
                   border-color: <the same as 'color' property>

border: none;      border-style: none;
                   border-width: medium;
                   border-color: <the same as 'color' property>

border: 0;         border-style: none;
                   border-width: 0;
                   border-color: <the same as 'color' property>

If these rules are the most specific ones applied to the borders of an element, then the borders won't be shown, either because of zero-width, or because of hidden/none style. So, at the first look, these three rules look equivalent. However, they behave in different ways when combined with other rules.

Borders in a table context in collapsing border model

When a table is rendered using border-collapse: collapse, then each rendered border is shared between multiple elements (inner borders are shared among as neighbor cells; outer borders are shared between cells and the table itself; but also rows, row groups, columns and column groups share borders). The specification defines some rules for border conflict resolution:

  1. Borders with the border-style of hidden take precedence over all other conflicting borders. […]

  2. Borders with a style of none have the lowest priority. […]

  3. If none of the styles are hidden and at least one of them is not none, then narrow borders are discarded in favor of wider ones. […]

  4. If border styles differ only in color, […]

So, in a table context, border: hidden (or border-style: hidden) will have the highest priority and will make the shared border hidden, no matter what.

On the other end of the priorities, border: none (or border-style: none) have the lowest priority, followed by the zero-width border (because it is the narrowest border). This means that a computed value of border-style: none and a computed value of border-width: 0 are essentially the same.

Cascading rules and inheritance

Since none and 0 affect different properties (border-style and border-width), they will behave differently when a more specific rule defines just the style or just the width. See Chris answer for an example.

Use custom build output folder when using create-react-app

Félix's answer is correct and upvoted, backed-up by Dan Abramov himself.

But for those who would like to change the structure of the output itself (within the build folder), one can run post-build commands with the help of postbuild, which automatically runs after the build script defined in the package.json file.

The example below changes it from static/ to user/static/, moving files and updating file references on relevant files (full gist here):

package.json

{
  "name": "your-project",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  [...]
  "scripts": {
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "postbuild": "./postbuild.sh",
    [...]
  },
}

postbuild.sh

#!/bin/bash

# The purpose of this script is to do things with files generated by
# 'create-react-app' after 'build' is run.
# 1. Move files to a new directory called 'user'
#    The resulting structure is 'build/user/static/<etc>'
# 2. Update reference on generated files from
#    static/<etc>
#     to
#    user/static/<etc>
#
# More details on: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/3824

# Browse into './build/' directory
cd build
# Create './user/' directory
echo '1/4 Create "user" directory'
mkdir user
# Find all files, excluding (through 'grep'):
# - '.',
# - the newly created directory './user/'
# - all content for the directory'./static/'
# Move all matches to the directory './user/'
echo '2/4 Move relevant files'
find . | grep -Ev '^.$|^.\/user$|^.\/static\/.+' | xargs -I{} mv -v {} user
# Browse into './user/' directory
cd user
# Find all files within the folder (not subfolders)
# Replace string 'static/' with 'user/static/' on all files that match the 'find'
# ('sed' requires one to create backup files on OSX, so we do that)
echo '3/4 Replace file references'
find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | LC_ALL=C xargs -I{} sed -i.backup -e 's,static/,user/static/,g' {}
# Delete '*.backup' files created in the last process
echo '4/4 Clean up'
find . -name '*.backup' -type f -delete
# Done

SQL Server: converting UniqueIdentifier to string in a case statement

Use string in switch case in java

Evaluating String variables with a switch statement have been implemented in Java SE 7, and hence it only works in java 7. You can also have a look at how this new feature is implemented in JDK 7.

        print "Please only pass strings into this method."
        print "You passed a %s and %s" % (s1.__class__, s2.__class__)

Reading a cell value in Excel vba and write in another Cell

The individual alphabets or symbols residing in a single cell can be inserted into different cells in different columns by the following code:

For i = 1 To Len(Cells(1, 1))
Cells(2, i) = Mid(Cells(1, 1), i, 1)
Next

If you do not want the symbols like colon to be inserted put an if condition in the loop.

C/C++ Struct vs Class

In C++, structs and classes are pretty much the same; the only difference is that where access modifiers (for member variables, methods, and base classes) in classes default to private, access modifiers in structs default to public.

However, in C, a struct is just an aggregate collection of (public) data, and has no other class-like features: no methods, no constructor, no base classes, etc. Although C++ inherited the keyword, it extended the semantics. (This, however, is why things default to public in structs—a struct written like a C struct behaves like one.)

While it's possible to fake some OOP in C—for instance, defining functions which all take a pointer to a struct as their first parameter, or occasionally coercing structs with the same first few fields to be "sub/superclasses"—it's always sort of bolted on, and isn't really part of the language.

How to compile and run a C/C++ program on the Android system

You can compile your C programs with an ARM cross-compiler:

How to output JavaScript with PHP

The error you get if because you need to escape the quotes (like other answers said).

To avoid that, you can use an alternative syntax for you strings declarations, called "Heredoc"

With this syntax, you can declare a long string, even containing single-quotes and/or double-quotes, whithout having to escape thoses ; it will make your Javascript code easier to write, modify, and understand -- which is always a good thing.

As an example, your code could become :

$str = <<<MY_MARKER
<script type="text/javascript">
  document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
MY_MARKER;

echo $str;

Note that with Heredoc syntax (as with string delimited by double-quotes), variables are interpolated.

How to set password for Redis?

For those who use docker-compose, it’s really easy to set a password without any config file like redis.conf. Here’s how you would normally use the official Redis image:

redis:
    image: 'redis:4-alpine'
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'

And here’s all you need to change to set a custom password:

  redis:
    image: 'redis:4-alpine'
    command: redis-server --requirepass yourpassword
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'

Everything will start up as normal and your Redis server will be protected by a password.

For details, this blog post seems to support the idea.

vertical alignment of text element in SVG

If you're testing this in IE, dominant-baseline and alignment-baseline are not supported.

The most effective way to center text in IE is to use something like this with "dy":

<text font-size="ANY SIZE" text-anchor="middle" "dy"="-.4em"> Ya Text </text>

The negative value will shift it up and a positive value of dy will shift it down. I've found using -.4em seems a bit more centered vertically to me than -.5em, but you'll be the judge of that.

C++ error : terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

Something throws an exception of type std::bad_alloc, indicating that you ran out of memory. This exception is propagated through until main, where it "falls off" your program and causes the error message you see.

Since nobody here knows what "RectInvoice", "rectInvoiceVector", "vect", "im" and so on are, we cannot tell you what exactly causes the out-of-memory condition. You didn't even post your real code, because w h looks like a syntax error.

process.start() arguments

Make sure to use full paths, e.g. not only "video.avi" but the full path to that file.

A simple trick for debugging would be to start a command window using cmd /k <command>instead:

string ffmpegPath = Path.Combine(path, "ffmpeg.exe");
string ffmpegParams = @"-f image2 -i frame%d.jpg -vcodec"
    + @" mpeg4 -b 800k C:\myFolder\video.avi"

Process ffmpeg = new Process();
ffmpeg.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
ffmpeg.StartInfo.Arguments = "/k " + ffmpegPath + " " + ffmpegParams
ffmpeg.Start();

This will leave the command window open so that you can easily check the output.

insert a NOT NULL column to an existing table

If you aren't allowing the column to be Null you need to provide a default to populate existing rows. e.g.

What is thread safe or non-thread safe in PHP?

Needed background on concurrency approaches:

Different web servers implement different techniques for handling incoming HTTP requests in parallel. A pretty popular technique is using threads -- that is, the web server will create/dedicate a single thread for each incoming request. The Apache HTTP web server supports multiple models for handling requests, one of which (called the worker MPM) uses threads. But it supports another concurrency model called the prefork MPM which uses processes -- that is, the web server will create/dedicate a single process for each request.

There are also other completely different concurrency models (using Asynchronous sockets and I/O), as well as ones that mix two or even three models together. For the purpose of answering this question, we are only concerned with the two models above, and taking Apache HTTP server as an example.

Needed background on how PHP "integrates" with web servers:

PHP itself does not respond to the actual HTTP requests -- this is the job of the web server. So we configure the web server to forward requests to PHP for processing, then receive the result and send it back to the user. There are multiple ways to chain the web server with PHP. For Apache HTTP Server, the most popular is "mod_php". This module is actually PHP itself, but compiled as a module for the web server, and so it gets loaded right inside it.

There are other methods for chaining PHP with Apache and other web servers, but mod_php is the most popular one and will also serve for answering your question.

You may not have needed to understand these details before, because hosting companies and GNU/Linux distros come with everything prepared for us.

Now, onto your question!

Since with mod_php, PHP gets loaded right into Apache, if Apache is going to handle concurrency using its Worker MPM (that is, using Threads) then PHP must be able to operate within this same multi-threaded environment -- meaning, PHP has to be thread-safe to be able to play ball correctly with Apache!

At this point, you should be thinking "OK, so if I'm using a multi-threaded web server and I'm going to embed PHP right into it, then I must use the thread-safe version of PHP". And this would be correct thinking. However, as it happens, PHP's thread-safety is highly disputed. It's a use-if-you-really-really-know-what-you-are-doing ground.

Final notes

In case you are wondering, my personal advice would be to not use PHP in a multi-threaded environment if you have the choice!

Speaking only of Unix-based environments, I'd say that fortunately, you only have to think of this if you are going to use PHP with Apache web server, in which case you are advised to go with the prefork MPM of Apache (which doesn't use threads, and therefore, PHP thread-safety doesn't matter) and all GNU/Linux distributions that I know of will take that decision for you when you are installing Apache + PHP through their package system, without even prompting you for a choice. If you are going to use other webservers such as nginx or lighttpd, you won't have the option to embed PHP into them anyway. You will be looking at using FastCGI or something equal which works in a different model where PHP is totally outside of the web server with multiple PHP processes used for answering requests through e.g. FastCGI. For such cases, thread-safety also doesn't matter. To see which version your website is using put a file containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> on your site and look for the Server API entry. This could say something like CGI/FastCGI or Apache 2.0 Handler.

If you also look at the command-line version of PHP -- thread safety does not matter.

Finally, if thread-safety doesn't matter so which version should you use -- the thread-safe or the non-thread-safe? Frankly, I don't have a scientific answer! But I'd guess that the non-thread-safe version is faster and/or less buggy, or otherwise they would have just offered the thread-safe version and not bothered to give us the choice!

How to add and remove classes in Javascript without jQuery

I'm using this simple code for this task:

CSS Code

.demo {
     background: tomato;
     color: white;
}

Javascript code

function myFunction() {
    /* Assign element to x variable by id  */
    var x = document.getElementById('para);

    if (x.hasAttribute('class') {      
        x.removeAttribute('class');     
    } else {
        x.setAttribute('class', 'demo');
    }
}

How to catch SQLServer timeout exceptions

Whats the value for the SqlException.ErrorCode property? Can you work with that?

When having timeouts, it may be worth checking the code for -2146232060.

I would set this up as a static const in your data code.

Connect multiple devices to one device via Bluetooth

Yes you can do so and I have created a library for the same.
This allows you to connect up-to four devices to the main server device creating different channels for each client and running interactions on different threads.
To use this library simple add compile com.mdg.androble:library:0.1.2 in dependency section of your build.gradle .

Is the Javascript date object always one day off?

if you're just looking to make sure the individual parts of the date stay the same for display purposes, *this appears to work, even when I change my timezone:

var doo = new Date("2011-09-24 00:00:00")

just add the zeros in there.

In my code I do this:

let dateForDisplayToUser = 
  new Date( `${YYYYMMDDdateStringSeparatedByHyphensFromAPI} 00:00:00` )
  .toLocaleDateString( 
    'en-GB', 
    { day: 'numeric', month: 'short', year: 'numeric' }
  )

And I switch around my timezone on my computer and the date stays the same as the yyyy-mm-dd date string I get from the API.

But am I missing something/is this a bad idea ?

*at least in chrome. This Doesn't work in Safari ! as of this writing

Make a simple fade in animation in Swift?

0x7ffffff's answer is ok and definitely exhaustive.

As a plus, I suggest you to make an UIView extension, in this way:

public extension UIView {

  /**
  Fade in a view with a duration

  - parameter duration: custom animation duration
  */
  func fadeIn(duration duration: NSTimeInterval = 1.0) {
    UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: {
        self.alpha = 1.0
    })
  }

  /**
  Fade out a view with a duration

  - parameter duration: custom animation duration
  */
  func fadeOut(duration duration: NSTimeInterval = 1.0) {
    UIView.animateWithDuration(duration, animations: {
        self.alpha = 0.0
    })
  }

}

Swift-3

/// Fade in a view with a duration
/// 
/// Parameter duration: custom animation duration
func fadeIn(withDuration duration: TimeInterval = 1.0) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, animations: {
        self.alpha = 1.0
    })
}

/// Fade out a view with a duration
///
/// - Parameter duration: custom animation duration
func fadeOut(withDuration duration: TimeInterval = 1.0) {
    UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, animations: {
        self.alpha = 0.0
    })
}

In this way you can do this wherever in your code:

let newImage = UIImage(named: "")
newImage.alpha = 0 // or newImage.fadeOut(duration: 0.0)
self.view.addSubview(newImage)
... 
newImage.fadeIn()

Code reuse is important!

How do I add a newline using printf?

Try this:

printf '\n%s\n' 'I want this on a new line!'

That allows you to separate the formatting from the actual text. You can use multiple placeholders and multiple arguments.

quantity=38; price=142.15; description='advanced widget'
$ printf '%8d%10.2f  %s\n' "$quantity" "$price" "$description"
      38    142.15  advanced widget

Attaching a Sass/SCSS to HTML docs

You can not "attach" a SASS/SCSS file to an HTML document.

SASS/SCSS is a CSS preprocessor that runs on the server and compiles to CSS code that your browser understands.

There are client-side alternatives to SASS that can be compiled in the browser using javascript such as LESS CSS, though I advise you compile to CSS for production use.

It's as simple as adding 2 lines of code to your HTML file.

<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="styles.less" />
<script src="less.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Docker can't connect to docker daemon

Linux

To run docker daemon on Linux (from CLI), run:

$ sudo service docker start # Ubuntu/Debian

Note: Skip the $ character when copy and pasting.

On RedHat/CentOS, run: sudo systemctl start docker.

To initialize the "base" filesystem, run:

$ sudo service docker stop
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
$ sudo service docker start

or manually like:

$ sudo docker -d --storage-opt dm.basesize=20G

Install docker-machine on Linux

To install machine binaries on Linux:

  • locally:

    install -vm755 <(curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.3/docker-machine_linux-amd64) $HOME/bin/docker-machine
    
  • global:

    sudo bash -c 'install -vm755 <(curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.3/docker-machine_linux-amd64) /usr/local/bin/docker-machine'
    

macOS

On macOS the docker binary is only a client and you cannot use it to run the docker daemon, because Docker daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, therefore you can’t run Docker natively in OS X. So you have to install docker-machine in order to create VM and attach to it.

Install docker-machine on macOS

If you don't have docker-machine command yet, install it by using one of the following methods:

  • Using Brew command: brew install docker-machine docker.
  • manually from GitHub:

    install -v <(curl https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.5.3/docker-machine_linux-amd64) /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
    

See: Get started with Docker for Mac.

Configure docker-machine on macOS

To start Docker Machine via Homebrew, run:

brew services start docker-machine

To create a default machine (if you don't have one, see: docker-machine ls):

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default

Then set-up the environment for the Docker client:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

Then double-check by listing containers:

docker ps

See: Get started with Docker Machine and a local VM.


Install Docker.app on macOS

Alternatively to above solution, you can install a Docker app by:

brew cask install docker

Check this post for more details. See also: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon on macOS

How do I replace multiple spaces with a single space in C#?

Regex can be rather slow even with simple tasks. This creates an extension method that can be used off of any string.

    public static class StringExtension
    {
        public static String ReduceWhitespace(this String value)
        {
            var newString = new StringBuilder();
            bool previousIsWhitespace = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
            {
                if (Char.IsWhiteSpace(value[i]))
                {
                    if (previousIsWhitespace)
                    {
                        continue;
                    }

                    previousIsWhitespace = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    previousIsWhitespace = false;
                }

                newString.Append(value[i]);
            }

            return newString.ToString();
        }
    }

It would be used as such:

string testValue = "This contains     too          much  whitespace."
testValue = testValue.ReduceWhitespace();
// testValue = "This contains too much whitespace."

Tomcat - maxThreads vs maxConnections

Tomcat can work in 2 modes:

  • BIO – blocking I/O (one thread per connection)
  • NIOnon-blocking I/O (many more connections than threads)

Tomcat 7 is BIO by default, although consensus seems to be "don't use Bio because Nio is better in every way". You set this using the protocol parameter in the server.xml file.

  • BIO will be HTTP/1.1 or org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol
  • NIO will be org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol

If you're using BIO then I believe they should be more or less the same.

If you're using NIO then actually "maxConnections=1000" and "maxThreads=10" might even be reasonable. The defaults are maxConnections=10,000 and maxThreads=200. With NIO, each thread can serve any number of connections, switching back and forth but retaining the connection so you don't need to do all the usual handshaking which is especially time-consuming with HTTPS but even an issue with HTTP. You can adjust the "keepAlive" parameter to keep connections around for longer and this should speed everything up.

HashSet vs LinkedHashSet

HashSet don't maintain the order of insertion item
LinkedHashSet maintain the order of insertion item

Example

Set<String> set = ...;// using new HashSet<>() OR new LinkedHashSet<>()
set.add("2");
set.add("1");
set.add("ab");
for(String value : set){
   System.out.println(value);
}  

HashSet output

1
ab
2

LinkedHashSet output

2
1
ab

How can I get the behavior of GNU's readlink -f on a Mac?

Here is a portable shell function that should work in ANY Bourne comparable shell. It will resolve the relative path punctuation ".. or ." and dereference symbolic links.

If for some reason you do not have a realpath(1) command, or readlink(1) this can be aliased.

which realpath || alias realpath='real_path'

Enjoy:

real_path () {
  OIFS=$IFS
  IFS='/'
  for I in $1
  do
    # Resolve relative path punctuation.
    if [ "$I" = "." ] || [ -z "$I" ]
      then continue
    elif [ "$I" = ".." ]
      then FOO="${FOO%%/${FOO##*/}}"
           continue
      else FOO="${FOO}/${I}"
    fi

    ## Resolve symbolic links
    if [ -h "$FOO" ]
    then
    IFS=$OIFS
    set `ls -l "$FOO"`
    while shift ;
    do
      if [ "$1" = "->" ]
        then FOO=$2
             shift $#
             break
      fi
    done
    IFS='/'
    fi
  done
  IFS=$OIFS
  echo "$FOO"
}

also, just in case anybody is interested here is how to implement basename and dirname in 100% pure shell code:

## http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/dirname.html
# the dir name excludes the least portion behind the last slash.
dir_name () {
  echo "${1%/*}"
}

## http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/basename.html
# the base name excludes the greatest portion in front of the last slash.
base_name () {
  echo "${1##*/}"
}

Maven and Spring Boot - non resolvable parent pom - repo.spring.io (Unknown host)

Just a remind: I tried to work with idea and imported maven, and encountered the same problem, I have tried all the solutions and they didnt work. Finally, I found out it was because of the root access... I opened idea with administrator access and all things work just fine, hope you not as silly as i am...

How do you use colspan and rowspan in HTML tables?

Use rowspan if you want to extend cells down and colspan to extend across.

SQL SELECT from multiple tables

select p.pid, p.cid, c1.name,c2.name
from product p
left outer join customer1 c1 on c1.cid=p.cid
left outer join customer2 c2 on c2.cid=p.cid

syntax error near unexpected token `('

Since you've got both the shell that you're typing into and the shell that sudo -s runs, you need to quote or escape twice. (EDITED fixed quoting)

sudo -su db2inst1 '/opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/bin/db2 force application \(1995\)'

or

sudo -su db2inst1 /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/bin/db2 force application \\\(1995\\\)

Out of curiosity, why do you need -s? Can't you just do this:

sudo -u db2inst1 /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/bin/db2 force application \(1995\)

How to turn off caching on Firefox?

In higher versions of Firefox, like Nightly, there is an options named "disable cache", you can find it by clicking the gear. And that options works only in current session, which means when you close inspector and restart it, you have to check it again if you want catch disabled.

No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException with Spring MVC?

In my case I forgot to add @RequestBody annotation to the method argument:

    }

Refused to display 'url' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'

I think You are trying to use the normal URL of video Like this :

Copying Direct URL from YouTube

That doesn't let you display the content on other domains.To Tackle this up , You should use the Copy Embed Code feature provided by the YouTube itself .Like this :

Copy Embed Code ( YouTube )

That would free you up from any issues .

For the above Scenario :

  • Go to Youtube Video

  • Copy Embed Code

  • Paste that into your Code ( Make sure you Escape all the " ( Inverted Commas) by \" .

Javascript/Jquery to change class onclick?

With jquery you could do to sth. like this, which will simply switch classes.

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).removeClass('myclass');
    $(this).addClass('showhidenew');
});

If you want to switch classes back and forth on each click, you can use toggleClass, like so:

$('.showhide').click(function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('myclass');
    $(this).toggleClass('showhidenew');
});

login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452) in sql 2008

  1. Go to services.msc from run prompt.
  2. Restart the services of SQL server(MSSQLSERVER)
  3. Restart the services of SQL server(SQLEXPRESS)

Beautiful way to remove GET-variables with PHP?

basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) returns everything after and including the '?',

In my code sometimes I need only sections, so separate it out so I can get the value of what I need on the fly. Not sure on the performance speed compared to other methods, but it's really useful for me.

$urlprotocol = 'http'; if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$urlprotocol .= "s";} $urlprotocol .= "://";
$urldomain = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
$urluri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$urlvars = basename($urluri);
$urlpath = str_replace($urlvars,"",$urluri);

$urlfull = $urlprotocol . $urldomain . $urlpath . $urlvars;

Replacing NULL with 0 in a SQL server query

With coalesce:

coalesce(column_name,0)

Although, where summing when condition then 1, you could just as easily change sum to count - eg:

count(case when c.runstatus = 'Succeeded' then 1 end) as Succeeded,

(Count(null) returns 0, while sum(null) returns null.)

What is the regex for "Any positive integer, excluding 0"

Any positive integer, excluding 0: ^\+?[1-9]\d*$
Any positive integer, including 0: ^(0|\+?[1-9]\d*)$

How can I convert a string with dot and comma into a float in Python

Better solution for different currency formats:

def text_currency_to_float(text):
  t = text
  dot_pos = t.rfind('.')
  comma_pos = t.rfind(',')
  if comma_pos > dot_pos:
    t = t.replace(".", "")
    t = t.replace(",", ".")
  else:
    t = t.replace(",", "")

  return(float(t))

How do I get a plist as a Dictionary in Swift?

Here is a bit shorter version, based on @connor 's answer

guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "GoogleService-Info", ofType: "plist"),
    let myDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path) else {
    return nil
}

let value = dict.value(forKey: "CLIENT_ID") as! String?

AngularJS + JQuery : How to get dynamic content working in angularjs

Another Solution in Case You Don't Have Control Over Dynamic Content

This works if you didn't load your element through a directive (ie. like in the example in the commented jsfiddles).

Wrap up Your Content

Wrap your content in a div so that you can select it if you are using JQuery. You an also opt to use native javascript to get your element.

<div class="selector">
    <grid-filter columnname="LastNameFirstName" gridname="HomeGrid"></grid-filter>
</div>

Use Angular Injector

You can use the following code to get a reference to $compile if you don't have one.

$(".selector").each(function () {
    var content = $(this);
    angular.element(document).injector().invoke(function($compile) {
        var scope = angular.element(content).scope();
        $compile(content)(scope);
    });
});

Summary

The original post seemed to assume you had a $compile reference handy. It is obviously easy when you have the reference, but I didn't so this was the answer for me.

One Caveat of the previous code

If you are using a asp.net/mvc bundle with minify scenario you will get in trouble when you deploy in release mode. The trouble comes in the form of Uncaught Error: [$injector:unpr] which is caused by the minifier messing with the angular javascript code.

Here is the way to remedy it:

Replace the prevous code snippet with the following overload.

...
angular.element(document).injector().invoke(
[
    "$compile", function($compile) {
        var scope = angular.element(content).scope();
        $compile(content)(scope);
    }
]);
...

This caused a lot of grief for me before I pieced it together.

OpenCV get pixel channel value from Mat image

Assuming the type is CV_8UC3 you would do this:

for(int i = 0; i < foo.rows; i++)
{
    for(int j = 0; j < foo.cols; j++)
    {
        Vec3b bgrPixel = foo.at<Vec3b>(i, j);

        // do something with BGR values...
    }
}

Here is the documentation for Vec3b. Hope that helps! Also, don't forget OpenCV stores things internally as BGR not RGB.

EDIT :
For performance reasons, you may want to use direct access to the data buffer in order to process the pixel values:

Here is how you might go about this:

uint8_t* pixelPtr = (uint8_t*)foo.data;
int cn = foo.channels();
Scalar_<uint8_t> bgrPixel;

for(int i = 0; i < foo.rows; i++)
{
    for(int j = 0; j < foo.cols; j++)
    {
        bgrPixel.val[0] = pixelPtr[i*foo.cols*cn + j*cn + 0]; // B
        bgrPixel.val[1] = pixelPtr[i*foo.cols*cn + j*cn + 1]; // G
        bgrPixel.val[2] = pixelPtr[i*foo.cols*cn + j*cn + 2]; // R

        // do something with BGR values...
    }
}

Or alternatively:

int cn = foo.channels();
Scalar_<uint8_t> bgrPixel;

for(int i = 0; i < foo.rows; i++)
{
    uint8_t* rowPtr = foo.row(i);
    for(int j = 0; j < foo.cols; j++)
    {
        bgrPixel.val[0] = rowPtr[j*cn + 0]; // B
        bgrPixel.val[1] = rowPtr[j*cn + 1]; // G
        bgrPixel.val[2] = rowPtr[j*cn + 2]; // R

        // do something with BGR values...
    }
}

How does the modulus operator work?

You can think of the modulus operator as giving you a remainder. count % 6 divides 6 out of count as many times as it can and gives you a remainder from 0 to 5 (These are all the possible remainders because you already divided out 6 as many times as you can). The elements of the array are all printed in the for loop, but every time the remainder is 5 (every 6th element), it outputs a newline character. This gives you 6 elements per line. For 5 elements per line, use

if (count % 5 == 4)

"Repository does not have a release file" error

I have been having this issue for a couple of weeks and finally decided to sit down and try and fix it. I have no interest in config file editing as I'm primarily a Windows user.

In a fit of "clickyness" I noticed that the ubuntu server location was set "for United kingdom". I switched this over to "Main Server" and hey presto... it all stared updating.

So, it seems like the regionalised server (for the UK at least) has a very limited support window so if you are an infrequent user it is likely it will not have a valid upgrade path from your current version to the latest.

Edit: I only just noticted the previous reply, after posting. 100% agree.

How can I disable notices and warnings in PHP within the .htaccess file?

Fortes is right, thank you.

When you have a shared hosting it is usual to obtain an 500 server error.

I have a website with Joomla and I added to the index.php:

ini_set('display_errors','off');

The error line showed in my website disappeared.

What port number does SOAP use?

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is the communication protocol in the web service scenario.

One benefit of SOAP is that it allowas RPC to execute through a firewall. But to pass through a firewall, you will probably want to use 80. it uses port no.8084 To the firewall, a SOAP conversation on 80 looks like a POST to a web page. However, there are extensions in SOAP which are specifically aimed at the firewall. In the future, it may be that firewalls will be configured to filter SOAP messages. But as of today, most firewalls are SOAP ignorant.

so exclusively open SOAP Port in Firewalls

SQLAlchemy insert or update example

assuming certain column names...

INSERT one

newToner = Toner(toner_id = 1,
                    toner_color = 'blue',
                    toner_hex = '#0F85FF')

dbsession.add(newToner)   
dbsession.commit()

INSERT multiple

newToner1 = Toner(toner_id = 1,
                    toner_color = 'blue',
                    toner_hex = '#0F85FF')

newToner2 = Toner(toner_id = 2,
                    toner_color = 'red',
                    toner_hex = '#F01731')

dbsession.add_all([newToner1, newToner2])   
dbsession.commit()

UPDATE

q = dbsession.query(Toner)
q = q.filter(Toner.toner_id==1)
record = q.one()
record.toner_color = 'Azure Radiance'

dbsession.commit()

or using a fancy one-liner using MERGE

record = dbsession.merge(Toner( **kwargs))

What is the suggested way to install brew, node.js, io.js, nvm, npm on OS X?

You should install node.js with nvm, because that way you do not have to provide superuser privileges when installing global packages (you can simply execute "npm install -g packagename" without prepending 'sudo').

Brew is fantastic for other things, however. I tend to be biased towards Bower whenever I have the option to install something with Bower.

php refresh current page?

Another elegant one is

header("Location: http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]");
exit;

Linux command to list all available commands and aliases

maybe i'm misunderstanding but what if you press Escape until you got the Display All X possibilities ?

How do I make a new line in swift

You should be able to use \n inside a Swift string, and it should work as expected, creating a newline character. You will want to remove the space after the \n for proper formatting like so:

var example: String = "Hello World \nThis is a new line"

Which, if printed to the console, should become:

Hello World
This is a new line

However, there are some other considerations to make depending on how you will be using this string, such as:

  • If you are setting it to a UILabel's text property, make sure that the UILabel's numberOfLines = 0, which allows for infinite lines.
  • In some networking use cases, use \r\n instead, which is the Windows newline.

Edit: You said you're using a UITextField, but it does not support multiple lines. You must use a UITextView.

Java 8 stream reverse order

The most generic and the easiest way to reverse a list will be :

public static <T> void reverseHelper(List<T> li){

 li.stream()
.sorted((x,y)-> -1)
.collect(Collectors.toList())
.forEach(System.out::println);

    }

How to create a DataTable in C# and how to add rows?

In addition to the other answers.

If you control the structure of the DataTable there is a shortcut for adding rows:

// Assume you have a data table defined as in your example named dt dt.Rows.Add("Name", "Marks");

The DataRowCollection.Add() method has an overload that takes a param array of objects. This method lets you pass as many values as needed, but they must be in the same order as the columns are defined in the table.

So while this is a convenient way to add row data, it can be risky to use. If the table structure changes your code will fail.

How to check if a table is locked in sql server

sys.dm_tran_locks contains the locking information of the sessions

If you want to know a specific table is locked or not, you can use the following query

SELECT 
 * 
from 
 sys.dm_tran_locks 
where 
  resource_associated_entity_id = object_id('schemaname.tablename')

if you are interested in finding both login name of the user and the query being run

SELECT
 DB_NAME(resource_database_id)
 , s.original_login_name
 , s.status
 , s.program_name
 , s.host_name
 , (select text from sys.dm_exec_sql_text(exrequests.sql_handle))
 ,*
from
  sys.dm_tran_locks dbl
     JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s ON dbl.request_session_id = s.session_id
  INNER JOIN  sys.dm_exec_requests exrequests on dbl.request_session_id = exrequests.session_id
where
 DB_NAME(dbl.resource_database_id) = 'dbname'

EF 5 Enable-Migrations : No context type was found in the assembly

I have been getting this same problem. I have even tried above enable migrations even though I have already done. But it keeps giving same error. Then I had to use the force switch to get overcome this problem. I am sure this will help in someone else's case as well as its a possible work around.

After enabling migration with force, you should update your database (Make sure default project is set correctly). Otherwise you will get another problem like explicit migrations are pending.

Then just execute your add-migrations or any other commands, it should work.

Enable-Migrations -ProjectName <PROJECT_NAME> -ContextTypeName <FULL_CONTEXT_NAMESPACE.YOUR_CONTEXT_NAME> -force

What is the difference between 'E', 'T', and '?' for Java generics?

A type variable, <T>, can be any non-primitive type you specify: any class type, any interface type, any array type, or even another type variable.

The most commonly used type parameter names are:

  • E - Element (used extensively by the Java Collections Framework)
  • K - Key
  • N - Number
  • T - Type
  • V - Value

In Java 7 it is permitted to instantiate like this:

Foo<String, Integer> foo = new Foo<>(); // Java 7
Foo<String, Integer> foo = new Foo<String, Integer>(); // Java 6

How to declare a variable in a template in Angular

Ugly, but:

How to open Atom editor from command line in OS X?

I am on mingw bash, so I have created ~.profile file with following: alias atom='~/AppData/Local/atom/bin/atom'

Opening XML page shows "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it."

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

You will get this error in the client side when the client (the webbrowser) for some reason interprets the HTTP response content as text/xml instead of text/html and the parsed XML tree doesn't have any XML-stylesheet. In other words, the webbrowser incorrectly parsed the retrieved HTTP response content as XML instead of as HTML due to the wrong or missing HTTP response content type.

In case of JSF/Facelets files which have the default extension of .xhtml, that can in turn happen if the HTTP request hasn't invoked the FacesServlet and thus it wasn't able to parse the Facelets file and generate the desired HTML output based on the XHTML source code. Firefox is then merely guessing the HTTP response content type based on the .xhtml file extension which is in your Firefox configuration apparently by default interpreted as text/xml.

You need to make sure that the HTTP request URL, as you see in browser's address bar, matches the <url-pattern> of the FacesServlet as registered in webapp's web.xml, so that it will be invoked and be able to generate the desired HTML output based on the XHTML source code. If it's for example *.jsf, then you need to open the page by /some.jsf instead of /some.xhtml. Alternatively, you can also just change the <url-pattern> to *.xhtml. This way you never need to fiddle with virtual URLs.

See also:


Note thus that you don't actually need a XML stylesheet. This all was just misinterpretation by the webbrowser while trying to do its best to make something presentable out of the retrieved HTTP response content. It should actually have retrieved the properly generated HTML output, Firefox surely knows precisely how to deal with HTML content.

Python Requests package: Handling xml response

requests does not handle parsing XML responses, no. XML responses are much more complex in nature than JSON responses, how you'd serialize XML data into Python structures is not nearly as straightforward.

Python comes with built-in XML parsers. I recommend you use the ElementTree API:

import requests
from xml.etree import ElementTree

response = requests.get(url)

tree = ElementTree.fromstring(response.content)

or, if the response is particularly large, use an incremental approach:

    response = requests.get(url, stream=True)
    # if the server sent a Gzip or Deflate compressed response, decompress
    # as we read the raw stream:
    response.raw.decode_content = True

    events = ElementTree.iterparse(response.raw)
    for event, elem in events:
        # do something with `elem`

The external lxml project builds on the same API to give you more features and power still.

How to display an alert box from C# in ASP.NET?

You can create a global method to show message(alert) in your web form application.

read word by word from file in C++

what you are doing here is reading one character at a time from the input stream and assume that all the characters between " " represent a word. BUT it's unlikely to be a " " after the last word, so that's probably why it does not work:

"word1 word2 word2EOF"

sorting a vector of structs

Just make a comparison function/functor:

bool my_cmp(const data& a, const data& b)
{
    // smallest comes first
    return a.word.size() < b.word.size();
}

std::sort(info.begin(), info.end(), my_cmp);

Or provide an bool operator<(const data& a) const in your data class:

struct data {
    string word;
    int number;

    bool operator<(const data& a) const
    {
        return word.size() < a.word.size();
    }
};

or non-member as Fred said:

struct data {
    string word;
    int number;
};

bool operator<(const data& a, const data& b)
{
    return a.word.size() < b.word.size();
}

and just call std::sort():

std::sort(info.begin(), info.end());

Add unique constraint to combination of two columns

In my case, I needed to allow many inactives and only one combination of two keys active, like this:

UUL_USR_IDF  UUL_UND_IDF    UUL_ATUAL
137          18             0
137          19             0
137          20             1
137          21             0

This seems to work:

CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX UQ_USR_UND_UUL_USR_IDF_UUL_ATUAL
ON USER_UND(UUL_USR_IDF, UUL_ATUAL)
WHERE UUL_ATUAL = 1;

Here are my test cases:

SELECT * FROM USER_UND WHERE UUL_USR_IDF = 137

insert into USER_UND values (137, 22, 1) --I CAN NOT => Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.USER_UND' with unique index 'UQ_USR_UND_UUL_USR_IDF_UUL_ATUAL'. The duplicate key value is (137, 1).
insert into USER_UND values (137, 23, 0) --I CAN
insert into USER_UND values (137, 24, 0) --I CAN

DELETE FROM USER_UND WHERE UUL_USR_ID = 137

insert into USER_UND values (137, 22, 1) --I CAN
insert into USER_UND values (137, 27, 1) --I CAN NOT => Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.USER_UND' with unique index 'UQ_USR_UND_UUL_USR_IDF_UUL_ATUAL'. The duplicate key value is (137, 1).

How do I translate an ISO 8601 datetime string into a Python datetime object?

You should keep an eye on the timezone information, as you might get into trouble when comparing non-tz-aware datetimes with tz-aware ones.

It's probably the best to always make them tz-aware (even if only as UTC), unless you really know why it wouldn't be of any use to do so.

#-----------------------------------------------
import datetime
import pytz
import dateutil.parser
#-----------------------------------------------

utc = pytz.utc
BERLIN = pytz.timezone('Europe/Berlin')
#-----------------------------------------------

def to_iso8601(when=None, tz=BERLIN):
  if not when:
    when = datetime.datetime.now(tz)
  if not when.tzinfo:
    when = tz.localize(when)
  _when = when.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z")
  return _when[:-8] + _when[-5:] # Remove microseconds
#-----------------------------------------------

def from_iso8601(when=None, tz=BERLIN):
  _when = dateutil.parser.parse(when)
  if not _when.tzinfo:
    _when = tz.localize(_when)
  return _when
#-----------------------------------------------

Remove Duplicates from range of cells in excel vba

You need to tell the Range.RemoveDuplicates method what column to use. Additionally, since you have expressed that you have a header row, you should tell the .RemoveDuplicates method that.

Sub dedupe_abcd()
    Dim icol As Long

    With Sheets("Sheet1")   '<-set this worksheet reference properly!
        icol = Application.Match("abcd", .Rows(1), 0)
        With .Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
            .RemoveDuplicates Columns:=icol, Header:=xlYes
        End With
    End With
End Sub

Your original code seemed to want to remove duplicates from a single column while ignoring surrounding data. That scenario is atypical and I've included the surrounding data so that the .RemoveDuplicates process does not scramble your data. Post back a comment if you truly wanted to isolate the RemoveDuplicates process to a single column.

Running CMD command in PowerShell

To run or convert batch files externally from PowerShell (particularly if you wish to sign all your scheduled task scripts with a certificate) I simply create a PowerShell script, e.g. deletefolders.ps1.

Input the following into the script:

cmd.exe /c "rd /s /q C:\#TEMP\test1"

cmd.exe /c "rd /s /q C:\#TEMP\test2"

cmd.exe /c "rd /s /q C:\#TEMP\test3"

*Each command needs to be put on a new line calling cmd.exe again.

This script can now be signed and run from PowerShell outputting the commands to command prompt / cmd directly.

It is a much safer way than running batch files!

Can I call jQuery's click() to follow an <a> link if I haven't bound an event handler to it with bind or click already?

JavaScript/jQuery doesn't support the default behavior of links "clicked" programmatically.

Instead, you can create a form and submit it. This way you don't have to use window.location or window.open, which are often blocked as unwanted popups by browsers.

This script has two different methods: one that tries to open three new tabs/windows (it opens only one in Internet Explorer and Chrome, more information is below) and one that fires a custom event on a link click.

Here is how:

HTML

<html>
<head>
    <script src="jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <button id="testbtn">Test</button><br><br>

    <a href="https://google.nl">Google</a><br>
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia</a><br>
    <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/">Stack Overflow</a>
</body>

</html>

jQuery (file script.js)

$(function()
{
    // Try to open all three links by pressing the button
    // - Firefox opens all three links
    // - Chrome only opens one of them without a popup warning
    // - Internet Explorer only opens one of them WITH a popup warning
    $("#testbtn").on("click", function()
    {
        $("a").each(function()
        {
            var form = $("<form></form>");
            form.attr(
            {
                id     : "formform",
                action : $(this).attr("href"),
                method : "GET",
                // Open in new window/tab
                target : "_blank"
            });

            $("body").append(form);
            $("#formform").submit();
            $("#formform").remove();
        });
    });

    // Or click the link and fire a custom event
    // (open your own window without following 
    // the link itself)
    $("a").on("click", function()
    {
        var form = $("<form></form>");
        form.attr(
        {
            id     : "formform",
            // The location given in the link itself
            action : $(this).attr("href"),
            method : "GET",
            // Open in new window/tab
            target : "_blank"
        });

        $("body").append(form);
        $("#formform").submit();
        $("#formform").remove();

        // Prevent the link from opening normally
        return false;
    });
});

For each link element, it:

  1. Creates a form
  2. Gives it attributes
  3. Appends it to the DOM so it can be submitted
  4. Submits it
  5. Removes the form from the DOM, removing all traces *Insert evil laugh*

Now you have a new tab/window loading "https://google.nl" (or any URL you want, just replace it). Unfortunately when you try to open more than one window this way, you get an Popup blocked messagebar when trying to open the second one (the first one is still opened).

R color scatter plot points based on values

It's better to create a new factor variable using cut(). I've added a few options using ggplot2 also.

  X2=rnorm(df$X1, mean = 3.5, sd = 1.5)
)

# Create new variable for plotting
df$Colour <- cut(df$X2, breaks = c(-Inf, 1, 3, +Inf), 
                 labels = c("low", "medium", "high"), 
                 right = FALSE)

### Base Graphics

plot(df$X1, df$X2, 
     col = df$Colour, ylim = c(0, 10), xlab = "POS", 
     ylab = "CS", main = "Plot Title", pch = 21)

plot(df$X1,df$X2, 
     col = df$Colour, ylim = c(0, 10), xlab = "POS", 
     ylab = "CS", main = "Plot Title", pch = 19, cex = 0.5)

# Using `with()` 

with(df, 
     plot(X1, X2, xlab="POS", ylab="CS", col = Colour, pch=21, cex=1.4)
     )

# Using ggplot2

# qplot()
qplot(df$X1, df$X2, colour = df$Colour)

# ggplot()
p <- ggplot(df, aes(X1, X2, colour = Colour)) 
p <- p + geom_point() + xlab("POS") + ylab("CS")

What is the most effective way to get the index of an iterator of an std::vector?

As UncleBens and Naveen have shown, there are good reasons for both. Which one is "better" depends on what behavior you want: Do you want to guarantee constant-time behavior, or do you want it to fall back to linear time when necessary?

it - vec.begin() takes constant time, but the operator - is only defined on random access iterators, so the code won't compile at all with list iterators, for example.

std::distance(vec.begin(), it) works for all iterator types, but will only be a constant-time operation if used on random access iterators.

Neither one is "better". Use the one that does what you need.

What are the differences between a clustered and a non-clustered index?

Clustered Index

  • Only one per table
  • Faster to read than non clustered as data is physically stored in index order

Non Clustered Index

  • Can be used many times per table
  • Quicker for insert and update operations than a clustered index

Both types of index will improve performance when select data with fields that use the index but will slow down update and insert operations.

Because of the slower insert and update clustered indexes should be set on a field that is normally incremental ie Id or Timestamp.

SQL Server will normally only use an index if its selectivity is above 95%.

How do I clear my local working directory in Git?

All the answers so far retain local commits. If you're really serious, you can discard all local commits and all local edits by doing:

git reset --hard origin/branchname

For example:

git reset --hard origin/master

This makes your local repository exactly match the state of the origin (other than untracked files).

If you accidentally did this after just reading the command, and not what it does :), use git reflog to find your old commits.

Creating a comma separated list from IList<string> or IEnumerable<string>

.NET 4+

IList<string> strings = new List<string>{"1","2","testing"};
string joined = string.Join(",", strings);

Detail & Pre .Net 4.0 Solutions

IEnumerable<string> can be converted into a string array very easily with LINQ (.NET 3.5):

IEnumerable<string> strings = ...;
string[] array = strings.ToArray();

It's easy enough to write the equivalent helper method if you need to:

public static T[] ToArray(IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    return new List<T>(source).ToArray();
}

Then call it like this:

IEnumerable<string> strings = ...;
string[] array = Helpers.ToArray(strings);

You can then call string.Join. Of course, you don't have to use a helper method:

// C# 3 and .NET 3.5 way:
string joined = string.Join(",", strings.ToArray());
// C# 2 and .NET 2.0 way:
string joined = string.Join(",", new List<string>(strings).ToArray());

The latter is a bit of a mouthful though :)

This is likely to be the simplest way to do it, and quite performant as well - there are other questions about exactly what the performance is like, including (but not limited to) this one.

As of .NET 4.0, there are more overloads available in string.Join, so you can actually just write:

string joined = string.Join(",", strings);

Much simpler :)

What is the best way to compare floats for almost-equality in Python?

Use Python's decimal module, which provides the Decimal class.

From the comments:

It is worth noting that if you're doing math-heavy work and you don't absolutely need the precision from decimal, this can really bog things down. Floats are way, way faster to deal with, but imprecise. Decimals are extremely precise but slow.

Fastest way to ping a network range and return responsive hosts?

This is python code for the ping in range of the 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.100. You can change for loop as you comfort.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import socket
import os
import sys

up_ip =[] #list to store the ip-addresses of server online
for x in range(100):  #here range is 0-100. You can change the range according to your comfort

    server_ip = '192.168.0.'+ str(x)
    print "Trying ,server_ip,... \n"

    rep = os.system('ping -c 1 ' + server_ip)

    if rep == 0:
        up_ip.append(server_ip)
        print '******************* Server Is Up **************** \n'
    else:
        print 'server is down \n'

print up_ip

PHP Include for HTML?

You don't need to be echoing the info within the php file. A php include will automatically include any HTML within that file.

Make sure you're actually using a index file with a .php extension, .html won't work with php includes. (Unless you're telling your server to treat .html files otherwise)

Make sure your paths are correctly set up. From your description, the way you've set it up your header.php/navbar.php/image.php files should be in your root directory. So your root directory should look like this:

index.php
navbar.php
image.php
header.php

Otherwise if those PHP files are in a folder called /includes/, it should look like so:

<?php include ('includes/headings.php'); ?>

How to use WHERE IN with Doctrine 2

In researching this issue, I found something that will be important to anyone running into this same issue and looking for a solution.

From the original post, the following line of code:

$qb->add('where', $qb->expr()->in('r.winner', array('?1')));

Wrapping the named parameter as an array causes the bound parameter number issue. By removing it from its array wrapping:

$qb->add('where', $qb->expr()->in('r.winner', '?1'));

This issue should be fixed. This might have been a problem in previous versions of Doctrine, but it is fixed in the most recent versions of 2.0.

Facebook how to check if user has liked page and show content?

There are some changes required to JavaScript code to handle rendering based on user liking or not liking the page mandated by Facebook moving to Auth2.0 authorization.

Change is fairly simple:-

sessions has to be replaced by authResponse and uid by userID

Moreover given the requirement of the code and some issues faced by people(including me) in general with FB.login, use of FB.getLoginStatus is a better alternative. It saves query to FB in case user is logged in and has authenticated your app.

Refer to Response and Sessions Object section for info on how this might save query to FB server. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.getLoginStatus/

Issues with FB.login and its fixes using FB.getLoginStatus. http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?id=70634

Here is the code posted above with changes which worked for me.

$(document).ready(function(){
    FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
        if (response.status == 'connected') {
            var user_id = response.authResponse.userID;
            var page_id = "40796308305"; //coca cola
            var fql_query = "SELECT uid FROM page_fan WHERE page_id =" + page_id + " and uid=" + user_id;
            var the_query = FB.Data.query(fql_query);

            the_query.wait(function(rows) {

                if (rows.length == 1 && rows[0].uid == user_id) {
                    $("#container_like").show();

                    //here you could also do some ajax and get the content for a "liker" instead of simply showing a hidden div in the page.

                } else {
                    $("#container_notlike").show();
                    //and here you could get the content for a non liker in ajax...
                }
            });
        } else {
            // user is not logged in
        }
    });

});

Property 'catch' does not exist on type 'Observable<any>'

Warning: This solution is deprecated since Angular 5.5, please refer to Trent's answer below

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

Yes, you need to import the operator:

import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';

Or import Observable this way:

import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Rx';

But in this case, you import all operators.

See this question for more details:

How about this: location.href.slice(0, - ((location.search + location.hash).length))

What was the strangest coding standard rule that you were forced to follow?

At the place I'm currently working, the official coding standard stipulates a maximum line length of eighty characters. The rational was to enable hard-copies of the code to be formatted. Needless to say, this led to very odd code layout. I've worked to eliminate this standard, mainly through the argument of 'when was the last time you made a hard-copy of code?' Readability now versus chance of making a hard-copy on an eighty column DMP?

Create a CSV File for a user in PHP

Instead of:

$query = "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE created>='{$start} 00:00:00'  AND created<='{$end} 23:59:59'   ORDER BY id";
$select_c = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select_c, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    $result.="{$row['email']},";
    $result.="\n";
    echo $result;
}

Use:

$query = "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE created>='{$start} 00:00:00'  AND created<='{$end} 23:59:59'   ORDER BY id";
$select_c = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); 

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select_c, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    echo implode(",", $row)."\n";
}

What are MVP and MVC and what is the difference?

In a few words,

  • In MVC, View has the UI part, which calls the controller which in turn calls the model & model in turn fires events back to view.
  • In MVP, View contains UI and calls the presenter for implementation part. The presenter calls the view directly for updates to the UI part. Model which contains business logic is called by the presenter and no interaction whatsoever with the view. So here presenter does most of the work :)

How do I add records to a DataGridView in VB.Net?

I think you should build a dataset/datatable in code and bind the grid to that.

Add multiple items to a list

Code check:

This is offtopic here but the people over at CodeReview are more than happy to help you.

I strongly suggest you to do so, there are several things that need attention in your code. Likewise I suggest that you do start reading tutorials since there is really no good reason not to do so.

Lists:

As you said yourself: you need a list of items. The way it is now you only store a reference to one item. Lucky there is exactly that to hold a group of related objects: a List.

Lists are very straightforward to use but take a look at the related documentation anyway.

A very simple example to keep multiple bikes in a list:

List<Motorbike> bikes = new List<Motorbike>();

bikes.add(new Bike { make = "Honda", color = "brown" });
bikes.add(new Bike { make = "Vroom", color = "red" });

And to iterate over the list you can use the foreach statement:

foreach(var bike in bikes) {
     Console.WriteLine(bike.make);
}
