Programs & Examples On #Graphics2d

Graphics2D is the part of the Java 2D API related to two-dimensional graphics, text, and imaging capabilities. Unlike the older Graphics class, Graphics2D supports coordinate transforms. It also gives better control over geometry, colors and text layout.

Triangle Draw Method

There is no direct method to draw a triangle. You can use drawPolygon() method for this. It takes three parameters in the following form: drawPolygon(int x[],int y[], int number_of_points); To draw a triangle: (Specify the x coordinates in array x and y coordinates in array y and number of points which will be equal to the elements of both the arrays.Like in triangle you will have 3 x coordinates and 3 y coordinates which means you have 3 points in total.) Suppose you want to draw the triangle using the following points:(100,50),(70,100),(130,100) Do the following inside public void paint(Graphics g):

int x[]={100,70,130};
int y[]={50,100,100};
g.drawPolygon(x,y,3);

Similarly you can draw any shape using as many points as you want.

Drawing a simple line graph in Java

Override the paintComponent method of your panel so you can custom draw. Like this:

@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    Graphics2D gr = (Graphics2D) g; //this is if you want to use Graphics2D
    //now do the drawing here
    ...
}

Java: Rotating Images

This is how you can do it. This code assumes the existance of a buffered image called 'image' (like your comment says)

// The required drawing location
int drawLocationX = 300;
int drawLocationY = 300;

// Rotation information

double rotationRequired = Math.toRadians (45);
double locationX = image.getWidth() / 2;
double locationY = image.getHeight() / 2;
AffineTransform tx = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(rotationRequired, locationX, locationY);
AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(tx, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);

// Drawing the rotated image at the required drawing locations
g2d.drawImage(op.filter(image, null), drawLocationX, drawLocationY, null);

How to test if list element exists?

This is actually a bit trickier than you'd think. Since a list can actually (with some effort) contain NULL elements, it might not be enough to check is.null(foo$a). A more stringent test might be to check that the name is actually defined in the list:

foo <- list(a=42, b=NULL)
foo

is.null(foo[["a"]]) # FALSE
is.null(foo[["b"]]) # TRUE, but the element "exists"...
is.null(foo[["c"]]) # TRUE

"a" %in% names(foo) # TRUE
"b" %in% names(foo) # TRUE
"c" %in% names(foo) # FALSE

...and foo[["a"]] is safer than foo$a, since the latter uses partial matching and thus might also match a longer name:

x <- list(abc=4)
x$a  # 4, since it partially matches abc
x[["a"]] # NULL, no match

[UPDATE] So, back to the question why exists('foo$a') doesn't work. The exists function only checks if a variable exists in an environment, not if parts of a object exist. The string "foo$a" is interpreted literary: Is there a variable called "foo$a"? ...and the answer is FALSE...

foo <- list(a=42, b=NULL) # variable "foo" with element "a"
"bar$a" <- 42   # A variable actually called "bar$a"...
ls() # will include "foo" and "bar$a" 
exists("foo$a") # FALSE 
exists("bar$a") # TRUE

I know this is an old post, but check out the Extended WPF Toolkit. It has a RichTextBox that supports what you are tryign to do.

Rails 4 Authenticity Token

All my tests were working fine. But for some reason I had set my environment variable to non-test:

export RAILS_ENV=something_non_test

I forgot to unset this variable because of which I started getting ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken exception.

After unsetting $RAILS_ENV, my tests started working again.

How does DISTINCT work when using JPA and Hibernate

@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "Customer.listUniqueNames", 
            query = "SELECT DISTINCT c.name FROM Customer c")
public class Customer {
        ...

        private String name;

Merge Two Lists in R

Here's some code that I ended up writing, based upon @Andrei's answer but without the elegancy/simplicity. The advantage is that it allows a more complex recursive merge and also differs between elements that should be connected with rbind and those that are just connected with c:

# Decided to move this outside the mapply, not sure this is 
# that important for speed but I imagine redefining the function
# might be somewhat time-consuming
mergeLists_internal <- function(o_element, n_element){
  if (is.list(n_element)){
    # Fill in non-existant element with NA elements
    if (length(n_element) != length(o_element)){
      n_unique <- names(n_element)[! names(n_element) %in% names(o_element)]
      if (length(n_unique) > 0){
        for (n in n_unique){
          if (is.matrix(n_element[[n]])){
            o_element[[n]] <- matrix(NA, 
                                     nrow=nrow(n_element[[n]]), 
                                     ncol=ncol(n_element[[n]]))
          }else{
            o_element[[n]] <- rep(NA, 
                                  times=length(n_element[[n]]))
          }
        }
      }

      o_unique <- names(o_element)[! names(o_element) %in% names(n_element)]
      if (length(o_unique) > 0){
        for (n in o_unique){
          if (is.matrix(n_element[[n]])){
            n_element[[n]] <- matrix(NA, 
                                     nrow=nrow(o_element[[n]]), 
                                     ncol=ncol(o_element[[n]]))
          }else{
            n_element[[n]] <- rep(NA, 
                                  times=length(o_element[[n]]))
          }
        }
      }
    }  

    # Now merge the two lists
    return(mergeLists(o_element, 
                      n_element))

  }
  if(length(n_element)>1){
    new_cols <- ifelse(is.matrix(n_element), ncol(n_element), length(n_element))
    old_cols <- ifelse(is.matrix(o_element), ncol(o_element), length(o_element))
    if (new_cols != old_cols)
      stop("Your length doesn't match on the elements,",
           " new element (", new_cols , ") !=",
           " old element (", old_cols , ")")
  }

  return(rbind(o_element, 
               n_element, 
               deparse.level=0))
  return(c(o_element, 
           n_element))
}
mergeLists <- function(old, new){
  if (is.null(old))
    return (new)

  m <- mapply(mergeLists_internal, old, new, SIMPLIFY=FALSE)
  return(m)
}

Here's my example:

v1 <- list("a"=c(1,2), b="test 1", sublist=list(one=20:21, two=21:22))
v2 <- list("a"=c(3,4), b="test 2", sublist=list(one=10:11, two=11:12, three=1:2))
mergeLists(v1, v2)

This results in:

$a
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    2
[2,]    3    4

$b
[1] "test 1" "test 2"

$sublist
$sublist$one
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]   20   21
[2,]   10   11

$sublist$two
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]   21   22
[2,]   11   12

$sublist$three
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]   NA   NA
[2,]    1    2

Yeah, I know - perhaps not the most logical merge but I have a complex parallel loop that I had to generate a more customized .combine function for, and therefore I wrote this monster :-)

"A referral was returned from the server" exception when accessing AD from C#

A referral is sent by an AD server when it doesn't have the information requested itself, but know that another server have the info. It usually appears in trust environment where a DC can refer to a DC in trusted domain.

In your case you are only specifying a domain, relying on automatic lookup of what domain controller to use. I think that you should try to find out what domain controller is used for the query and look if that one really holds the requested information.

If you provide more information on your AD setup, including any trusts/subdomains, global catalogues and the DNS resource records for the domain controllers it will be easier to help you.

Set variable in jinja

Nice shorthand for Multiple variable assignments

{% set label_cls, field_cls = "col-md-7", "col-md-3" %}

Difference between break and continue statement

break leaves a loop, continue jumps to the next iteration.

Check if a string is a palindrome

public bool Solution(string content)
    {
        int length = content.Length;

        int half = length/2;

        int isOddLength = length%2;

        // Counter for checking the string from the middle 
        int j = (isOddLength==0) ? half:half+1;

        for(int i=half-1;i>=0;i--)
        {                
            if(content[i] != content[j])
            {
               return false;
            }
            j++;

        }
        return true;
    }

How to filter Pandas dataframe using 'in' and 'not in' like in SQL

not_in = df[df.apply(criterion, axis=1)]

How can I write a heredoc to a file in Bash script?

I like this method for concision, readability and presentation in an indented script:

<<-End_of_file >file

End_of_file

Where ?        is a tab character.

Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator

I had the same issue. My solution was as follows:

  1. iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard
  2. Uncheck "Connect Hardware Keyboard"

Mine was checked because I was using my mac keyboard, but if you make sure it is unchecked the iPhone keyboard will always come up.

How to run a maven created jar file using just the command line

Just use the exec-maven-plugin.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Then you run you program:

mvn exec:java

Resizing SVG in html?

you can resize it by displaying svg in image tag and size image tag i.e.

<img width="200px" src="lion.svg"></img>

Disable eslint rules for folder

YAML version :

overrides:
  - files: *-tests.js
    rules:
      no-param-reassign: 0

Example of specific rules for mocha tests :

You can also set a specific env for a folder, like this :

overrides:
  - files: test/*-tests.js
    env:
      mocha: true

This configuration will fix error message about describe and it not defined, only for your test folder:

/myproject/test/init-tests.js
6:1 error 'describe' is not defined no-undef
9:3 error 'it' is not defined no-undef

jQuery - Get Width of Element when Not Visible (Display: None)

Thank you for posting the realWidth function above, it really helped me. Based on "realWidth" function above, I wrote, a CSS reset, (reason described below).

function getUnvisibleDimensions(obj) {
    if ($(obj).length == 0) {
        return false;
    }

    var clone = obj.clone();
    clone.css({
        visibility:'hidden',
        width : '',
        height: '',
        maxWidth : '',
        maxHeight: ''
    });
    $('body').append(clone);
    var width = clone.outerWidth(),
        height = clone.outerHeight();
    clone.remove();
    return {w:width, h:height};
}

"realWidth" gets the width of an existing tag. I tested this with some image tags. The problem was, when the image has given CSS dimension per width (or max-width), you will never get the real dimension of that image. Perhaps, the img has "max-width: 100%", the "realWidth" function clone it and append it to the body. If the original size of the image is bigger than the body, then you get the size of the body and not the real size of that image.

How to copy a row and insert in same table with a autoincrement field in MySQL?

For a quick, clean solution that doesn't require you to name columns, you can use a prepared statement as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23964285/292677

If you need a complex solution so you can do this often, you can use this procedure:

DELIMITER $$

CREATE PROCEDURE `duplicateRows`(_schemaName text, _tableName text, _whereClause text, _omitColumns text)
SQL SECURITY INVOKER
BEGIN
  SELECT IF(TRIM(_omitColumns) <> '', CONCAT('id', ',', TRIM(_omitColumns)), 'id') INTO @omitColumns;

  SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(COLUMN_NAME) FROM information_schema.columns 
  WHERE table_schema = _schemaName AND table_name = _tableName AND FIND_IN_SET(COLUMN_NAME,@omitColumns) = 0 ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION INTO @columns;

  SET @sql = CONCAT('INSERT INTO ', _tableName, '(', @columns, ')',
  'SELECT ', @columns, 
  ' FROM ', _schemaName, '.', _tableName, ' ',  _whereClause);

  PREPARE stmt1 FROM @sql;
  EXECUTE stmt1;
END

You can run it with:

CALL duplicateRows('database', 'table', 'WHERE condition = optional', 'omit_columns_optional');

Examples

duplicateRows('acl', 'users', 'WHERE id = 200'); -- will duplicate the row for the user with id 200
duplicateRows('acl', 'users', 'WHERE id = 200', 'created_ts'); -- same as above but will not copy the created_ts column value    
duplicateRows('acl', 'users', 'WHERE id = 200', 'created_ts,updated_ts'); -- same as above but also omits the updated_ts column
duplicateRows('acl', 'users'); -- will duplicate all records in the table

DISCLAIMER: This solution is only for someone who will be repeatedly duplicating rows in many tables, often. It could be dangerous in the hands of a rogue user.

Java - Search for files in a directory

I have used a different approach to search for a file using stack.. keeping in mind that there could be folders inside a folder. Though its not faster than windows search(and I was not expecting that though) but it definitely gives out correct result. Please modify the code as you wish to. This code was originally made to extract the file path of certain file extension :). Feel free to optimize.

How to call URL action in MVC with javascript function?

I'm going to give you 2 way's to call an action from the client side

first

If you just want to navigate to an action you should call just use the follow

window.location = "/Home/Index/" + youid

Notes: that you action need to handle a get type called

Second

If you need to render a View you could make the called by ajax

//this if you want get the html by get
public ActionResult Foo()
{
    return View(); //this return the render html   
}

And the client called like this "Assuming that you're using jquery"

$.get('your controller path', parameters to the controler , function callback)

or

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "your controller path",
    data: parameters to the controler
    dataType: "html",
    success: your function
});

or

$('your selector').load('your controller path') 

Update

In your ajax called make this change to pass the data to the action

function onDropDownChange(e) {
var url = '/Home/Index' 
$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: url,
        data: { id = e.value}, <--sending the values to the server
        dataType: "html",
        success : function (data) {
            //put your code here
        }
    });
}

UPDATE 2

You cannot do this in your callback 'windows.location ' if you want it's go render a view, you need to put a div in your view and do something like this

in the view where you are that have the combo in some place

<div id="theNewView"> </div> <---you're going to load the other view here

in the javascript client

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: url,
        data: { id = e.value}, <--sending the values to the server
        dataType: "html",
        success : function (data) {
            $('div#theNewView').html(data);
        }
    });
}

With this i think that you solve your problem

Trying to get property of non-object in

Check the manual for mysql_fetch_object(). It returns an object, not an array of objects.

I'm guessing you want something like this

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sidemenu WHERE `menu_id`='".$menu."' ORDER BY `id` ASC LIMIT 1", $con);

$sidemenus = array();
while ($sidemenu = mysql_fetch_object($results)) {
    $sidemenus[] = $sidemenu;
}

Might I suggest you have a look at PDO. PDOStatement::fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ) does what you assumed mysql_fetch_object() to do

how to set start page in webconfig file in asp.net c#

The same problem arrised for me when I installed Kaliko CMS Nuget Package. When I removed it, it started working fine again. So, your problem could be because of a recently installed Nuget Package. Uninstall it and your solution will work just fine.

How to check if variable's type matches Type stored in a variable

You need to see if the Type of your instance is equal to the Type of the class. To get the type of the instance you use the GetType() method:

 u.GetType().Equals(t);

 u.GetType.Equals(typeof(User));

should do it. Obviously you could use '==' to do your comparison if you prefer.

How to get key names from JSON using jq

In combination with the above answer, you want to ask jq for raw output, so your last filter should be eg.:

     cat input.json | jq -r 'keys'

From jq help:

     -r     output raw strings, not JSON texts;

How to reverse a singly linked list using only two pointers?

You can simply reverse a Linked List using only one Extra pointer. And the key to do this is by using a Recursion.

Here is the program in Java.

public class Node {
   public int data;
   public Node next;
}

public Node reverseLinkedListRecursion(Node p) {
    if (p.next == null) {
        head = p;
        q = p;
        return q;
    } else {
        reverseLinkedListRecursion(p.next);
        p.next = null;
        q.next = p;
        q = p;
        return head;
    }
}

// call this function from your main method.
 reverseLinkedListRecursion(head);

As you can see this is a simple example of a head recursion. We have mainly two different kinds of Recursion.

  1. Head Recursion:- When the Recursion is the first thing executed by a function.
  2. Tail Recursion:- When the Recursion is the last thing executed by a function.

Here the program will keep calling itself Recursively until our Pointer "p" reaches to the last node and then before returning the stack frame we will point head to the last node and the extra Pointer "q" to build the linked list in the backward direction.

Here the Stack Frames will keep on returning until the stack is empty.

how to display toolbox on the left side of window of Visual Studio Express for windows phone 7 development?

I had this problem with Blend for Visual Studio 2015. The Toolbox would just not appear anymore. This turns out to be because Blend is not Visual Studio!

(You can edit your code in Blend and build and run it... It certainly seems like Visual Studio, but it isn't. I'm not sure what the purpose of Blend is...)

You can tell you are in Blend if the task bar icon has big "B" in it. To switch from Blend to Visual Studio, go to View-> Edit in Visual Studio.... It will open up another application that looks just like Blend, except the Solution Explorer is on the right instead of the left, and now you have a toolbox...

BootStrap : Uncaught TypeError: $(...).datetimepicker is not a function

I had this problem. Solution for me was to remove links to Vue.js files. Vue.js and JQuery have some conflicts in datepicker and datetimepicker functions.

Formatting dates on X axis in ggplot2

Can you use date as a factor?

Yes, but you probably shouldn't.

...or should you use as.Date on a date column?

Yes.

Which leads us to this:

library(scales)
df$Month <- as.Date(df$Month)
ggplot(df, aes(x = Month, y = AvgVisits)) + 
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  theme_bw() +
  labs(x = "Month", y = "Average Visits per User") +
  scale_x_date(labels = date_format("%m-%Y"))

enter image description here

in which I've added stat = "identity" to your geom_bar call.

In addition, the message about the binwidth wasn't an error. An error will actually say "Error" in it, and similarly a warning will always say "Warning" in it. Otherwise it's just a message.

 *
 * @param testFx javascript condition that evaluates to a boolean,
 * it can be passed in as a string (e.g.: "1 == 1" or "$('#bar').is(':visible')" or
 * as a callback function.
 * @param onReady what to do when testFx condition is fulfilled,
 * it can be passed in as a string (e.g.: "1 == 1" or "$('#bar').is(':visible')" or
 * as a callback function.

How to use OAuth2RestTemplate?

My simple solution. IMHO it's the cleanest.

First create a application.yml

spring.main.allow-bean-definition-overriding: true

security:
  oauth2:
    client:
      clientId: XXX
      clientSecret: XXX
      accessTokenUri: XXX
      tokenName: access_token
      grant-type: client_credentials

Create the main class: Main

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableOAuth2Client
public class Main extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/").permitAll();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public OAuth2RestTemplate oauth2RestTemplate(ClientCredentialsResourceDetails details) {
        return new OAuth2RestTemplate(details);
    }

}

Then Create the controller class: Controller

@RestController
class OfferController {

    @Autowired
    private OAuth2RestOperations restOperations;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/<your url>"
            , method = RequestMethod.GET
            , produces = "application/json")
    public String foo() {
        ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = restOperations.getForEntity(<the url you want to call on the server>, String.class);
        return responseEntity.getBody();
    }
}

jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP

If you want to send data using jQuery Ajax then there is no need of form tag and submit button

Example:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#btnSend").click(function () {
            $.ajax({
                url: 'process.php',
                type: 'POST',
                data: {bar: $("#bar").val()},
                success: function (result) {
                    alert('success');
                }
            });
        });
    });
</script>

<label for="bar">A bar</label>
<input id="bar" name="bar" type="text" value="" />
<input id="btnSend" type="button" value="Send" />

Cannot execute script: Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program

Try this step,

1)Open PowerShell

2)Write this command:

sqlcmd -S PCNAME\SQLEXPRESS -U user -P password -d databanse_name -i C:\script.sql

3)Press Return

Mock MVC - Add Request Parameter to test

@ModelAttribute is a Spring mapping of request parameters to a particular object type. so your parameters might look like userClient.username and userClient.firstName, etc. as MockMvc imitates a request from a browser, you'll need to pass in the parameters that Spring would use from a form to actually build the UserClient object.

(i think of ModelAttribute is kind of helper to construct an object from a bunch of fields that are going to come in from a form, but you may want to do some reading to get a better definition)

How to stop a PowerShell script on the first error?

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" will get you part of the way there (i.e. this works great for cmdlets).

However for EXEs you're going to need to check $LastExitCode yourself after every exe invocation and determine whether that failed or not. Unfortunately I don't think PowerShell can help here because on Windows, EXEs aren't terribly consistent on what constitutes a "success" or "failure" exit code. Most follow the UNIX standard of 0 indicating success but not all do. Check out the CheckLastExitCode function in this blog post. You might find it useful.

How do I split a string so I can access item x?

If your database has compatibility level of 130 or higher then you can use the STRING_SPLIT function along with OFFSET FETCH clauses to get the specific item by index.

To get the item at index N (zero based), you can use the following code

SELECT value
FROM STRING_SPLIT('Hello John Smith',' ')
ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)
OFFSET N ROWS
FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY

To check the compatibility level of your database, execute this code:

SELECT compatibility_level  
FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'YourDBName';

How to close a Java Swing application from the code

The following program includes code that will terminate a program lacking extraneous threads without explicitly calling System.exit(). In order to apply this example to applications using threads/listeners/timers/etc, one need only insert cleanup code requesting (and, if applicable, awaiting) their termination before the WindowEvent is manually initiated within actionPerformed().

For those who wish to copy/paste code capable of running exactly as shown, a slightly-ugly but otherwise irrelevant main method is included at the end.

public class CloseExample extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

    private JButton turnOffButton;

    private void addStuff() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        turnOffButton = new JButton("Exit");
        turnOffButton.addActionListener(this);
        this.add(turnOffButton);
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent quitEvent) {
        /* Iterate through and close all timers, threads, etc here */
        this.processWindowEvent(
                new WindowEvent(
                      this, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));
    }

    public CloseExample() {
        super("Close Me!");
        addStuff();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                CloseExample cTW = new CloseExample();
                cTW.setSize(200, 100);
                cTW.setLocation(300,300);
                cTW.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
}

CardView Corner Radius

If you're setting the card background programmatically, make use you use cardView.setCardBackgroundColor() and not cardView.setBackgroundColor() and make sure use using app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="true" on the cardView.xml. That fixed it for me.

Btw, the above code (in quotations) is in Kotlin and not Java. Use the java equivalent if you're using Java.

Trim a string based on the string length

There is a Apache Commons StringUtils function which does this.

s = StringUtils.left(s, 10)

If len characters are not available, or the String is null, the String will be returned without an exception. An empty String is returned if len is negative.

StringUtils.left(null, ) = null
StringUtils.left(
, -ve) = ""
StringUtils.left("", *) = ""
StringUtils.left("abc", 0) = ""
StringUtils.left("abc", 2) = "ab"
StringUtils.left("abc", 4) = "abc"

What is the difference between compare() and compareTo()?

One more point:

  • compareTo() is from the Comparable interface and compare() is from the Comparator interface.
  • Comparable is used to define a default ordering for objects within a class while Comparator is used to define a custom ordering to be passed to a method.

Django CharField vs TextField

For eg.,. 2 fields are added in a model like below..

description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True)

Below are the mysql queries executed when migrations are applied.


for TextField(description) the field is defined as a longtext

ALTER TABLE `sometable_sometable` ADD COLUMN `description` longtext NULL;

The maximum length of TextField of MySQL is 4GB according to string-type-overview.


for CharField(title) the max_length(required) is defined as varchar(64)

ALTER TABLE `sometable_sometable` ADD COLUMN `title` varchar(64) NULL;
ALTER TABLE `sometable_sometable` ALTER COLUMN `title` DROP DEFAULT;

How do you performance test JavaScript code?

Quick answer

On jQuery (more specifically on Sizzle), we use this (checkout master and open speed/index.html on your browser), which in turn uses benchmark.js. This is used to performance test the library.

Long answer

If the reader doesn't know the difference between benchmark, workload and profilers, first read some performance testing foundations on the "readme 1st" section of spec.org. This is for system testing, but understanding this foundations will help JS perf testing as well. Some highlights:

What is a benchmark?

A benchmark is "a standard of measurement or evaluation" (Webster’s II Dictionary). A computer benchmark is typically a computer program that performs a strictly defined set of operations - a workload - and returns some form of result - a metric - describing how the tested computer performed. Computer benchmark metrics usually measure speed: how fast was the workload completed; or throughput: how many workload units per unit time were completed. Running the same computer benchmark on multiple computers allows a comparison to be made.

Should I benchmark my own application?

Ideally, the best comparison test for systems would be your own application with your own workload. Unfortunately, it is often impractical to get a wide base of reliable, repeatable and comparable measurements for different systems using your own application with your own workload. Problems might include generation of a good test case, confidentiality concerns, difficulty ensuring comparable conditions, time, money, or other constraints.

If not my own application, then what?

You may wish to consider using standardized benchmarks as a reference point. Ideally, a standardized benchmark will be portable, and may already have been run on the platforms that you are interested in. However, before you consider the results you need to be sure that you understand the correlation between your application/computing needs and what the benchmark is measuring. Are the benchmarks similar to the kinds of applications you run? Do the workloads have similar characteristics? Based on your answers to these questions, you can begin to see how the benchmark may approximate your reality.

Note: A standardized benchmark can serve as reference point. Nevertheless, when you are doing vendor or product selection, SPEC does not claim that any standardized benchmark can replace benchmarking your own actual application.

Performance testing JS

Ideally, the best perf test would be using your own application with your own workload switching what you need to test: different libraries, machines, etc.

If this is not feasible (and usually it is not). The first important step: define your workload. It should reflect your application's workload. In this talk, Vyacheslav Egorov talks about shitty workloads you should avoid.

Then, you could use tools like benchmark.js to assist you collect metrics, usually speed or throughput. On Sizzle, we're interested in comparing how fixes or changes affect the systemic performance of the library.

If something is performing really bad, your next step is to look for bottlenecks.

How do I compare two hashes?

You could use a simple array intersection, this way you can know what differs in each hash.

    hash1 = { a: 1 , b: 2 }
    hash2 = { a: 2 , b: 2 }

    overlapping_elements = hash1.to_a & hash2.to_a

    exclusive_elements_from_hash1 = hash1.to_a - overlapping_elements
    exclusive_elements_from_hash2 = hash2.to_a - overlapping_elements

how to run mysql in ubuntu through terminal

You seem to just have begun using mysql.

Simple answer: for now use

mysql -u root -p password

Password is usually root by default. You may use other usernames if you have created other user using create user in mysql. For details use "help, help manage accounts, help create users" etc. If you dont want your password to be shown in open just press return key after "-p" and you will be prompted for password next. Hope this resolves the issue.

How to set a cron job to run at a exact time?

My use case is that I'm on a metered account. Data transfer is limited on weekdays, Mon - Fri, from 6am - 6pm. I am using bandwidth limiting, but somehow, data still slips through, about 1GB per day!

I strongly suspected it's sickrage or sickbeard, doing a high amount of searches. My download machine is called "download." The following was my solution, using the above,for starting, and stopping the download VM, using KVM:

# Stop download Mon-Fri, 6am
0 6 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root          virsh shutdown download
# Start download Mon-Fri, 6pm
0 18 * * 1,2,3,4,5 root         virsh start download

I think this is correct, and hope it helps someone else too.

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons CDN

Although Bootstrap CDN restored glyphicons to bootstrap.min.css, Bootstrap CDN's Bootswatch css files doesn't include glyphicons.

For example Amelia theme: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/

Default Amelia has glyphicons in this file: http://bootswatch.com/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

But Bootstrap CDN's css file doesn't include glyphicons: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.0.0/amelia/bootstrap.min.css

So as @edsioufi mentioned, you should include you should include glphicons css, if you use Bootswatch files from the bootstrap CDN. File: http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap-glyphicons.css

Getting random numbers in Java

int max = 50;
int min = 1;

1. Using Math.random()

double random = Math.random() * 49 + 1;
or
int random = (int )(Math.random() * 50 + 1);

This will give you value from 1 to 50 in case of int or 1.0 (inclusive) to 50.0 (exclusive) in case of double

Why?

random() method returns a random number between 0.0 and 0.9..., you multiply it by 50, so upper limit becomes 0.0 to 49.999... when you add 1, it becomes 1.0 to 50.999..., now when you truncate to int, you get 1 to 50. (thanks to @rup in comments). leepoint's awesome write-up on both the approaches.

2. Using Random class in Java.

Random rand = new Random(); 
int value = rand.nextInt(50); 

This will give value from 0 to 49.

For 1 to 50: rand.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;

You can create your own personal API token (OAuth) and use it the same way as you would use your normal credentials (at: /settings/tokens). For example:

git remote add fork https://[email protected]/foo/bar
git push fork

.netrc

Another method is to configure your user/password in ~/.netrc (_netrc on Windows), e.g.

machine github.com
login USERNAME
password PASSWORD

For HTTPS, add the extra line:

protocol https

A credential helper

To cache your GitHub password in Git when using HTTPS, you can use a credential helper to tell Git to remember your GitHub username and password every time it talks to GitHub.

  • Mac: git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain (osxkeychain helper is required),
  • Windows: git config --global credential.helper wincred
  • Linux and other: git config --global credential.helper cache

MySQL query finding values in a comma separated string

All the answers are not really correct, try this:

MySQL LIKE IN()?

Just a little tip:

I prefer to use the variant RLIKE (exactly the same command as REGEXP) as it sounds more like natural language, and is shorter; well, just 1 char.

The "R" prefix is for Reg. Exp., of course.

How to center a table of the screen (vertically and horizontally)

I think this should do the trick:

Custom format for time command

The accepted answer gives me this output

# bash date.sh
Time in seconds: 51
date.sh: line 12: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
date.sh: line 21: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This is how I solved the issue

#!/bin/bash

date1=$(date --date 'now' +%s) #date since epoch in seconds at the start of script
somecommand
date2=$(date --date 'now' +%s) #date since epoch in seconds at the end of script
difference=$(echo "$((date2-$date1))") # difference between two values
date3=$(echo "scale=2 ; $difference/3600" | bc) # difference/3600 = seconds in hours
echo SCRIPT TOOK $date3 HRS TO COMPLETE # 3rd variable for a pretty output.

Binding ConverterParameter

No, unfortunately this will not be possible because ConverterParameter is not a DependencyProperty so you won't be able to use bindings

But perhaps you could cheat and use a MultiBinding with IMultiValueConverter to pass in the 2 Tag properties.

Java Timer vs ExecutorService?

If it's available to you, then it's difficult to think of a reason not to use the Java 5 executor framework. Calling:

ScheduledExecutorService ex = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();

will give you a ScheduledExecutorService with similar functionality to Timer (i.e. it will be single-threaded) but whose access may be slightly more scalable (under the hood, it uses concurrent structures rather than complete synchronization as with the Timer class). Using a ScheduledExecutorService also gives you advantages such as:

  • You can customize it if need be (see the newScheduledThreadPoolExecutor() or the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor class)
  • The 'one off' executions can return results

About the only reasons for sticking to Timer I can think of are:

  • It is available pre Java 5
  • A similar class is provided in J2ME, which could make porting your application easier (but it wouldn't be terribly difficult to add a common layer of abstraction in this case)

For homebrew mysql installs, where's my.cnf?

The homebrew mysql contains sample configuration files in the installation's support-files folder.

ls $(brew --prefix mysql)/support-files/my-*

If you need to change the default settings you can use one of these as a starting point.

cp $(brew --prefix mysql)/support-files/my-default.cnf /usr/local/etc/my.cnf

As @rednaw points out, a homebrew install of MySQL will most likely be in /usr/local so the my.cnf file should not be added to the system /etc folder, so I’ve changed the command to copy the file into /usr/local/etc.

If you are using MariaDB rather than MySQL use the following:

cp $(brew --prefix mariadb)/support-files/my-small.cnf /usr/local/etc/my.cnf

How to install pkg config in windows?

This is a step-by-step procedure to get pkg-config working on Windows, based on my experience, using the info from Oliver Zendel's comment.

I assume here that MinGW was installed to C:\MinGW. There were multiple versions of the packages available, and in each case I just downloaded the latest version.

  1. go to http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/
  2. download the file pkg-config_0.26-1_win32.zip
  3. extract the file bin/pkg-config.exe to C:\MinGW\bin
  4. download the file gettext-runtime_0.18.1.1-2_win32.zip
  5. extract the file bin/intl.dll to C:\MinGW\bin
  6. go to http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.28
  7. download the file glib_2.28.8-1_win32.zip
  8. extract the file bin/libglib-2.0-0.dll to C:\MinGW\bin

Now CMake will be able to use pkg-config if it is configured to use MinGW.

count number of rows in a data frame in R based on group

Here's an example that shows how table(.) (or, more closely matching your desired output, data.frame(table(.)) does what it sounds like you are asking for.

Note also how to share reproducible sample data in a way that others can copy and paste into their session.

Here's the (reproducible) sample data:

mydf <- structure(list(ID = c(110L, 111L, 121L, 131L, 141L), 
                       MONTH.YEAR = c("JAN. 2012", "JAN. 2012", 
                                      "FEB. 2012", "FEB. 2012", 
                                      "MAR. 2012"), 
                       VALUE = c(1000L, 2000L, 3000L, 4000L, 5000L)), 
                  .Names = c("ID", "MONTH.YEAR", "VALUE"), 
                  class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -5L))

mydf
#    ID MONTH.YEAR VALUE
# 1 110  JAN. 2012  1000
# 2 111  JAN. 2012  2000
# 3 121  FEB. 2012  3000
# 4 131  FEB. 2012  4000
# 5 141  MAR. 2012  5000

Here's the calculation of the number of rows per group, in two output display formats:

table(mydf$MONTH.YEAR)
# 
# FEB. 2012 JAN. 2012 MAR. 2012 
#         2         2         1

data.frame(table(mydf$MONTH.YEAR))
#        Var1 Freq
# 1 FEB. 2012    2
# 2 JAN. 2012    2
# 3 MAR. 2012    1

PowerShell equivalent to grep -f

I had the same issue trying to find text in files with powershell. I used the following - to stay as close to the Linux environment as possible.

Hopefully this helps somebody:

PowerShell:

PS) new-alias grep findstr
PS) ls -r *.txt | cat | grep "some random string"

Explanation:

ls       - lists all files
-r       - recursively (in all files and folders and subfolders)
*.txt    - only .txt files
|        - pipe the (ls) results to next command (cat)
cat      - show contents of files comming from (ls)
|        - pipe the (cat) results to next command (grep)
grep     - search contents from (cat) for "some random string" (alias to findstr)

Yes, this works as well:

PS) ls -r *.txt | cat | findstr "some random string"

Where/how can I download (and install) the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 for Windows 8, 64 bit?

On modern Windows this driver isn't available by default anymore, but you can download as Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable on the MS site. If your app is 32 bits be sure to download and install the 32 bits variant because to my knowledge the 32 and 64 bit variant cannot coexist.

Depending on how your app locates its db driver, that might be all that's needed. However, if you use an UDL file there's one extra step - you need to edit that file. Unfortunately, on a 64bits machine the wizard used to edit UDL files is 64 bits by default, it won't see the JET driver and just slap whatever driver it finds first in the UDL file. There are 2 ways to solve this issue:

  1. start the 32 bits UDL wizard like this: C:\Windows\syswow64\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll",OpenDSLFile C:\path\to\your.udl. Note that I could use this technique on a Win7 64 Pro, but it didn't work on a Server 2008R2 (could be my mistake, just mentioning)
  2. open the UDL file in Notepad or another text editor, it should more or less have this format:

[oledb] ; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Path\To\The\database.mdb;Persist Security Info=False

That should allow your app to start correctly.

Tower of Hanoi: Recursive Algorithm

This python3 example uses a recursive solution:

# Hanoi towers puzzle
# for each n, you have to move n-1 disks off the n disk onto another peg
# then you move the n disk to a free peg
# then you move the n-1 disks on the other peg back onto the n disk

def hanoi(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        return hanoi(n-1) + 1 + hanoi(n-1)


for i in range(1, 11):
    print(f"n={i}, moves={hanoi(i)}")

Output:

n=1, moves=1
n=2, moves=3
n=3, moves=7
n=4, moves=15
n=5, moves=31
n=6, moves=63
n=7, moves=127
n=8, moves=255
n=9, moves=511
n=10, moves=1023

But of course the most efficient way to work out how many moves is to realise that the answers are always 1 less than 2^n. So the mathematical solution is 2^n - 1

Automatic login script for a website on windows machine?

The code below does just that. The below is a working example to log into a game. I made a similar file to log in into Yahoo and a kurzweilai.net forum.

Just copy the login form from any webpage's source code. Add value= "your user name" and value = "your password". Normally the -input- elements in the source code do not have the value attribute, and sometime, you will see something like that: value=""

Save the file as a html on a local machine double click it, or make a bat/cmd file to launch and close them as required.

    <!doctype html>
    <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->

    <html>
    <title>Ikariam Autologin</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form id="loginForm" name="loginForm" method="post"    action="http://s666.en.ikariam.com/index.php?action=loginAvatar&function=login">
    <select name="uni_url" id="logServer" class="validate[required]">
    <option  class=""  value="s666.en.ikariam.com" fbUrl=""  cookieName=""  >
            Test_en
    </option>
    </select>
    <input id="loginName" name="name" type="text" value="PlayersName" class="" />
    <input id="loginPassword" name="password" type="password" value="examplepassword" class="" />
    <input type="hidden" id="loginKid" name="kid" value=""/>
                        </form>
  <script>document.loginForm.submit();</script>       
  </body></html>

Note that -script- is just -script-. I found there is no need to specify that is is JavaScript. It works anyway. I also found out that a bare-bones version that contains just two input filds: userName and password also work. But I left a hidded input field etc. just in case. Yahoo mail has a lot of hidden fields. Some are to do with password encryption, and it counts login attempts.

Wi-Fi Direct and iOS Support

The official list of current iOS Wi-Fi Management APIs

There is no Wi-Fi Direct type of connection available. The primary issue being that Apple does not allow programmatic setting of the Wi-Fi network SSID and password. However, this improves substantially in iOS 11 where you can at least prompt the user to switch to another WiFi network.

QA1942 - iOS Wi-Fi Management APIs

Entitlement option

This technology is useful if you want to provide a list of Wi-Fi networks that a user might want to connect to in a manager type app. It requires that you apply for this entitlement with Apple and the email address is in the documentation.

MFi Program options

These technologies allow the accessory connect to the same network as the iPhone and are not for setting up a peer-to-peer connection.

  • Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC)
  • HomeKit

Peer-to-peer between Apple devices

These APIs come close to what you want, but they're Apple-to-Apple only.

How to fix "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized"

Referencing the connection string should be done as such:

MySQLHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ConnectionString,
CommandType.Text,
sqlQuery,
sqlParams);

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"] would be looking in the AppSettings for something named ConnectionString, which it would not find. This is why your error message indicated the "ConnectionString" property has not been initialized, because it is looking for an initialized property of AppSettings named ConnectionString.

ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ConnectionString instructs to look for the connection string named "MyDB".

Bubble Sort Homework

I am a fresh fresh beginner, started to read about Python yesterday. Inspired by your example I created something maybe more in the 80-ties style, but nevertheless it kinda works

i=0
while i < len(lista1)-1:
    if lista1[i] > lista1[i+1]:
        x = lista1[i]
        lista1[i] = lista1[i+1]
        lista1[i+1] = x
        i=0
        continue
    else:
        i+=1

print(lista1)

onMeasure custom view explanation

onMeasure() is your opportunity to tell Android how big you want your custom view to be dependent the layout constraints provided by the parent; it is also your custom view's opportunity to learn what those layout constraints are (in case you want to behave differently in a match_parent situation than a wrap_content situation). These constraints are packaged up into the MeasureSpec values that are passed into the method. Here is a rough correlation of the mode values:

  • EXACTLY means the layout_width or layout_height value was set to a specific value. You should probably make your view this size. This can also get triggered when match_parent is used, to set the size exactly to the parent view (this is layout dependent in the framework).
  • AT_MOST typically means the layout_width or layout_height value was set to match_parent or wrap_content where a maximum size is needed (this is layout dependent in the framework), and the size of the parent dimension is the value. You should not be any larger than this size.
  • UNSPECIFIED typically means the layout_width or layout_height value was set to wrap_content with no restrictions. You can be whatever size you would like. Some layouts also use this callback to figure out your desired size before determine what specs to actually pass you again in a second measure request.

The contract that exists with onMeasure() is that setMeasuredDimension() MUST be called at the end with the size you would like the view to be. This method is called by all the framework implementations, including the default implementation found in View, which is why it is safe to call super instead if that fits your use case.

Granted, because the framework does apply a default implementation, it may not be necessary for you to override this method, but you may see clipping in cases where the view space is smaller than your content if you do not, and if you lay out your custom view with wrap_content in both directions, your view may not show up at all because the framework doesn't know how large it is!

Generally, if you are overriding View and not another existing widget, it is probably a good idea to provide an implementation, even if it is as simple as something like this:

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {

    int desiredWidth = 100;
    int desiredHeight = 100;

    int widthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec);
    int widthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
    int heightMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec);
    int heightSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);

    int width;
    int height;

    //Measure Width
    if (widthMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) {
        //Must be this size
        width = widthSize;
    } else if (widthMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) {
        //Can't be bigger than...
        width = Math.min(desiredWidth, widthSize);
    } else {
        //Be whatever you want
        width = desiredWidth;
    }

    //Measure Height
    if (heightMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) {
        //Must be this size
        height = heightSize;
    } else if (heightMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) {
        //Can't be bigger than...
        height = Math.min(desiredHeight, heightSize);
    } else {
        //Be whatever you want
        height = desiredHeight;
    }

    //MUST CALL THIS
    setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}

Hope that Helps.

Creating a SOAP call using PHP with an XML body

There are a couple of ways to solve this. The least hackiest and almost what you want:

$client = new SoapClient(
    null,
    array(
        'location' => 'https://example.com/ExampleWebServiceDL/services/ExampleHandler',
        'uri' => 'http://example.com/wsdl',
        'trace' => 1,
        'use' => SOAP_LITERAL,
    )
);
$params = new \SoapVar("<Acquirer><Id>MyId</Id><UserId>MyUserId</UserId><Password>MyPassword</Password></Acquirer>", XSD_ANYXML);
$result = $client->Echo($params);

This gets you the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://example.com/wsdl">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <ns1:Echo>
            <Acquirer>
                <Id>MyId</Id>
                <UserId>MyUserId</UserId>
                <Password>MyPassword</Password>
            </Acquirer>
        </ns1:Echo>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

That is almost exactly what you want, except for the namespace on the method name. I don't know if this is a problem. If so, you can hack it even further. You could put the <Echo> tag in the XML string by hand and have the SoapClient not set the method by adding 'style' => SOAP_DOCUMENT, to the options array like this:

$client = new SoapClient(
    null,
    array(
        'location' => 'https://example.com/ExampleWebServiceDL/services/ExampleHandler',
        'uri' => 'http://example.com/wsdl',
        'trace' => 1,
        'use' => SOAP_LITERAL,
        'style' => SOAP_DOCUMENT,
    )
);
$params = new \SoapVar("<Echo><Acquirer><Id>MyId</Id><UserId>MyUserId</UserId><Password>MyPassword</Password></Acquirer></Echo>", XSD_ANYXML);
$result = $client->MethodNameIsIgnored($params);

This results in the following request XML:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <Echo>
            <Acquirer>
                <Id>MyId</Id>
                <UserId>MyUserId</UserId>
                <Password>MyPassword</Password>
            </Acquirer>
        </Echo>
    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Finally, if you want to play around with SoapVar and SoapParam objects, you can find a good reference in this comment in the PHP manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/soapvar.soapvar.php#104065. If you get that to work, please let me know, I failed miserably.

Google Maps v2 - set both my location and zoom in

Finding the mode of a list

Why not just

def print_mode (thelist):
  counts = {}
  for item in thelist:
    counts [item] = counts.get (item, 0) + 1
  maxcount = 0
  maxitem = None
  for k, v in counts.items ():
    if v > maxcount:
      maxitem = k
      maxcount = v
  if maxcount == 1:
    print "All values only appear once"
  elif counts.values().count (maxcount) > 1:
    print "List has multiple modes"
  else:
    print "Mode of list:", maxitem

This doesn't have a few error checks that it should have, but it will find the mode without importing any functions and will print a message if all values appear only once. It will also detect multiple items sharing the same maximum count, although it wasn't clear if you wanted that.

You might have set oracle not to start automatically. Goto Start and search for Services. Scroll down and look for OracleServiceORCL (or OracleServiceSID). Double click and change startup type to automatic if it is set as manual.

How to Decode Json object in laravel and apply foreach loop on that in laravel

your string is NOT a valid json to start with.

a valid json will be,

{
    "area": [
        {
            "area": "kothrud"
        },
        {
            "area": "katraj"
        }
    ]
}

if you do a json_decode, it will yield,

stdClass Object
(
    [area] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [area] => kothrud
                )

            [1] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [area] => katraj
                )

        )

)

Update: to use

$string = '

{
    "area": [
        {
            "area": "kothrud"
        },
        {
            "area": "katraj"
        }
    ]
}

';
            $area = json_decode($string, true);

            foreach($area['area'] as $i => $v)
            {
                echo $v['area'].'<br/>';
            }

Output:

kothrud
katraj

Update #2:

for that true:

When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays. for more information, click here

What is useState() in React?

useState is a hook that lets you add state to a functional component. It accepts an argument which is the initial value of the state property and returns the current value of state property and a method which is capable of updating that state property.
Following is a simple example:

import React, {useState} from react    

function HookCounter {    
  const [count, stateCount]= useState(0)    
    return(    
      <div>     
        <button onClick{( ) => setCount(count+1)}> count{count}</button>    
      </div>    
    )   
 }

useState accepts the initial value of the state variable which is zero in this case and returns a pair of values. The current value of the state has been called count and a method that can update the state variable has been called as setCount.

How can I create directory tree in C++/Linux?

Here is my example of code (it works for both Windows and Linux):

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sys/stat.h> // stat
#include <errno.h>    // errno, ENOENT, EEXIST
#if defined(_WIN32)
#include <direct.h>   // _mkdir
#endif

bool isDirExist(const std::string& path)
{
#if defined(_WIN32)
    struct _stat info;
    if (_stat(path.c_str(), &info) != 0)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return (info.st_mode & _S_IFDIR) != 0;
#else 
    struct stat info;
    if (stat(path.c_str(), &info) != 0)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return (info.st_mode & S_IFDIR) != 0;
#endif
}

bool makePath(const std::string& path)
{
#if defined(_WIN32)
    int ret = _mkdir(path.c_str());
#else
    mode_t mode = 0755;
    int ret = mkdir(path.c_str(), mode);
#endif
    if (ret == 0)
        return true;

    switch (errno)
    {
    case ENOENT:
        // parent didn't exist, try to create it
        {
            int pos = path.find_last_of('/');
            if (pos == std::string::npos)
#if defined(_WIN32)
                pos = path.find_last_of('\\');
            if (pos == std::string::npos)
#endif
                return false;
            if (!makePath( path.substr(0, pos) ))
                return false;
        }
        // now, try to create again
#if defined(_WIN32)
        return 0 == _mkdir(path.c_str());
#else 
        return 0 == mkdir(path.c_str(), mode);
#endif

    case EEXIST:
        // done!
        return isDirExist(path);

    default:
        return false;
    }
}

int main(int argc, char* ARGV[])
{
    for (int i=1; i<argc; i++)
    {
        std::cout << "creating " << ARGV[i] << " ... " << (makePath(ARGV[i]) ? "OK" : "failed") << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Usage:

$ makePath 1/2 folderA/folderB/folderC
creating 1/2 ... OK
creating folderA/folderB/folderC ... OK

Android Transparent TextView?

To set programmatically:

setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

For me, I also had to set it to Color.TRANSPARENT on the parent layout.

Xcode 10, Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

I had that problem and Xcode failed to compile on the device, but on simulator, it worked fine.

I solved with these steps:

  1. Open keychain access.
  2. Lock the 'login' keychain.
  3. Unlock it, enter your PC account password.
  4. Clean Project in the product menu.
  5. Build it Again.

And after that everything works fine.

adding comment in .properties files

Writing the properties file with multiple comments is not supported. Why ?

PropertyFile.java

public class PropertyFile extends Task {

    /* ========================================================================
     *
     * Instance variables.
     */

    // Use this to prepend a message to the properties file
    private String              comment;

    private Properties          properties;

The ant property file task is backed by a java.util.Properties class which stores comments using the store() method. Only one comment is taken from the task and that is passed on to the Properties class to save into the file.

The way to get around this is to write your own task that is backed by commons properties instead of java.util.Properties. The commons properties file is backed by a property layout which allows settings comments for individual keys in the properties file. Save the properties file with the save() method and modify the new task to accept multiple comments through <comment> elements.

Load text file as strings using numpy.loadtxt()

There is also read_csv in Pandas, which is fast and supports non-comma column separators and automatic typing by column:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('your_file',sep='\t')

It can be converted to a NumPy array if you prefer that type with:

import numpy as np
arr = np.array(df)

This is by far the easiest and most mature text import approach I've come across.

add new row in gridview after binding C#, ASP.net

      }
   }
}

How to create relationships in MySQL

One of the rules you have to know is that the table column you want to reference to has to be with the same data type as The referencing table . 2 if you decide to use mysql you have to use InnoDB Engine because according to your question that’s the engine which supports what you want to achieve in mysql .

Bellow is the code try it though the first people to answer this question they 100% provided great answers and please consider them all .

CREATE TABLE accounts(
    account_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    customer_id INT( 4 ) NOT NULL ,
    account_type ENUM( 'savings', 'credit' ) NOT NULL,
    balance FLOAT( 9 ) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (account_id)
)ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE customers(
    customer_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    address VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    state VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY ( account_id ), 
FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customers(customer_id) 
)ENGINE=InnoDB; 

VBScript How can I Format Date?

Suggest calling 'Now' only once in the function to guard against the minute, or even the day, changing during the execution of the function.

Thus:

Function timeStamp()
    Dim t 
    t = Now
    timeStamp = Year(t) & "-" & _
    Right("0" & Month(t),2)  & "-" & _
    Right("0" & Day(t),2)  & "_" & _  
    Right("0" & Hour(t),2) & _
    Right("0" & Minute(t),2) '    '& _    Right("0" & Second(t),2) 
End Function

How to return a part of an array in Ruby?

You can use slice() for this:

>> foo = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
>> bar = [10,20,30,40,50,60]
=> [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60]
>> half = foo.length / 2
=> 3
>> foobar = foo.slice(0, half) + bar.slice(half, foo.length)
=> [1, 2, 3, 40, 50, 60]

By the way, to the best of my knowledge, Python "lists" are just efficiently implemented dynamically growing arrays. Insertion at the beginning is in O(n), insertion at the end is amortized O(1), random access is O(1).

Add an incremental number in a field in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server

You can use the row_number() function for this.

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
            row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants 
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

If you want to start with the maximum already in the table then do:

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
           coalesce(const.maxs, 0) + row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants cross join
         (select max(sequence) as maxs from PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp) const
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

Finally, you can just make the sequence column an auto-incrementing identity column. This saves the need to increment it each time:

create table PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp ( . . .
    sequence int identity(1, 1) -- and might consider making this a primary key too
    . . .
)

Using both Python 2.x and Python 3.x in IPython Notebook

From my Linux installation I did:

sudo ipython2 kernelspec install-self

And now my python 2 is back on the list.

Reference:

UPDATE:

The method above is now deprecated and will be dropped in the future. The new method should be:

sudo ipython2 kernel install

how to convert long date value to mm/dd/yyyy format

Try something like this:

public class test 
{  

    public static void main(String a[])
    {  
        long tmp = 1346524199000;  

        Date d = new Date(tmp);  
        System.out.println(d);  
    }  
} 

Excel: VLOOKUP that returns true or false?

ISNA is the best function to use. I just did. I wanted all cells whose value was NOT in an array to conditionally format to a certain color.

=ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet1!$A:$D,2,FALSE))

Duplicate line in Visual Studio Code

You can use the following depending on your OS:

Windows:

Shift+ Alt + ? or Shift+ Alt + ?

Mac:

Shift + Option + ? or Shift +Option + ?

Linux:

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+? or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+?

Note: For some linux distros use Numpad arrows

Java: using switch statement with enum under subclass

Change it to this:

switch (enumExample) {
    case VALUE_A: {
        //..
        break;
    }
}

The clue is in the error. You don't need to qualify case labels with the enum type, just its value.

How to get href value using jQuery?

**Replacing  href attribut value to other** 
 
 <div class="cpt">

 <!--Remove first default Link from href attribut -->
<script>
     Remove first default Link from href attribut
    $(".cpt a").removeAttr("href");
    
    Add  Link to same href attribut
    var testurl= $(".test").find("a").attr("href");
    $(".test a").attr('href', testurl);
</script>

Override intranet compatibility mode IE8

There is a certain amount of confusion in the answers to this this question.

The top answer is currently a server-side solution which sets a flag in the http header and some comments are indicating that a solution using a meta tag just doesn't work.

I think this blog entry gives a nice overview of how to use compatibility meta information and in my experience works as described: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjacks/archive/2012/02/29/using-x-ua-compatible-to-create-durable-enterprise-web-applications.aspx

The main points:

  • setting the information using a meta tag and in the header both works
  • The meta tag takes precedence over the header
  • The meta tag has to be the first tag, to make sure that the browser does not determine the rendering engine before based on heuristics

One important point (and I think lots of confusion comes from this point) is that IE has two "classes" of modes:

  1. The document mode
  2. The browser mode

The document mode determines the rendering engine (how is the web page rendered).

The Browser Mode determines what User-Agent (UA) string IE sends to servers, what Document Mode IE defaults to, and how IE evaluates Conditional Comments.

More on the information on document mode vs. browser mode can be found in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/06/16/ie-s-compatibility-features-for-site-developers.aspx?Redirected=true

In my experience the compatibility meta data will only influence the document mode. So if you are relying on browser detection this won't help you. But if you are using feature detection this should be the way to go.

So I would recommend using the meta tag (in the html page) using this syntax:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9,10" ></meta>

Notice: give a list of browser modes you have tested for.

The blog post also advices against the use of EmulateIEX. Here a quote:

That being said, one thing I do find strange is when an application requests EmulateIE7, or EmulateIE8. These emulate modes are themselves decisions. So, instead of being specific about what you want, you’re asking for one of two things and then determining which of those two things by looking elsewhere in the code for a DOCTYPE (and then attempting to understand whether that DOCTYPE will give you standards or quirks depending on its contents – another sometimes confusing task). Rather than do that, I think it makes significantly more sense to directly specify what you want, rather than giving a response that is itself a question. If you want IE7 standards, then use IE=7, rather than IE=EmulateIE7. (Note that this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use a DOCTYPE – you should.)

Where to put a textfile I want to use in eclipse?

If this is a simple project, you should be able to drag the txt file right into the project folder. Specifically, the "project folder" would be the highest level folder. I tried to do this (for a homework project that I'm doing) by putting the txt file in the src folder, but that didn't work. But finally I figured out to put it in the project file.

A good tutorial for this is http://www.vogella.com/articles/JavaIO/article.html. I used this as an intro to i/o and it helped.

What are Keycloak's OAuth2 / OpenID Connect endpoints?

With version 1.9.3.Final, Keycloak has a number of OpenID endpoints available. These can be found at /auth/realms/{realm}/.well-known/openid-configuration. Assuming your realm is named demo, that endpoint will produce a JSON response similar to this.

{
  "issuer": "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/demo",
  "authorization_endpoint": "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/demo/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
  "token_endpoint": "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/demo/protocol/openid-connect/token",
  "token_introspection_endpoint": "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/demo/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect",

How do you open a file in C++?

Follow the steps,

  1. Include Header files or name space to access File class.
  2. Make File class object Depending on your IDE platform ( i.e, CFile,QFile,fstream).
  3. Now you can easily find that class methods to open/read/close/getline or else of any file.
CFile/QFile/ifstream m_file;
m_file.Open(path,Other parameter/mood to open file);

For reading file you have to make buffer or string to save data and you can pass that variable in read() method.

How do I enable MSDTC on SQL Server?

MSDTC must be enabled on both systems, both server and client.
Also, make sure that there isn't a firewall between the systems that blocks RPC.
DTCTest is a nice litt app that helps you to troubleshoot any other problems.

How to dynamically add a style for text-align using jQuery

Is correct?

<script>
$( "#box" ).one( "click", function() {
  $( this ).css( "width", "+=200" );
});
</script>

Aggregate a dataframe on a given column and display another column

A late answer, but and approach using data.table

library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(dat)

DT[, .SD[which.max(Score),], by = Group]

Or, if it is possible to have more than one equally highest score

DT[, .SD[which(Score == max(Score)),], by = Group]

Noting that (from ?data.table

.SD is a data.table containing the Subset of x's Data for each group, excluding the group column(s)

Multiple left-hand assignment with JavaScript

Try this:

var var1=42;
var var2;

alert(var2 = var1); //show result of assignment expression is assigned value
alert(var2); // show assignment did occur.

Note the single '=' in the first alert. This will show that the result of an assignment expression is the assigned value, and the 2nd alert will show you that assignment did occur.

It follows logically that assignment must have chained from right to left. However, since this is all atomic to the javascript (there's no threading) a particular engine may choose to actually optimize it a little differently.

How do I skip a header from CSV files in Spark?

If there were just one header line in the first record, then the most efficient way to filter it out would be:

rdd.mapPartitionsWithIndex {
  (idx, iter) => if (idx == 0) iter.drop(1) else iter 
}

This doesn't help if of course there are many files with many header lines inside. You can union three RDDs you make this way, indeed.

You could also just write a filter that matches only a line that could be a header. This is quite simple, but less efficient.

Python equivalent:

from itertools import islice

rdd.mapPartitionsWithIndex(
    lambda idx, it: islice(it, 1, None) if idx == 0 else it 
)

How to use MapView in android using google map V2?

I created dummy sample for Google Maps v2 Android with Kotlin and AndroidX

You can find complete project here: github-link

MainActivity.kt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

val position = LatLng(-33.920455, 18.466941)

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    with(mapView) {
        // Initialise the MapView
        onCreate(null)
        // Set the map ready callback to receive the GoogleMap object
        getMapAsync{
            MapsInitializer.initialize(applicationContext)
            setMapLocation(it)
        }
    }
}

private fun setMapLocation(map : GoogleMap) {
    with(map) {
        moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(position, 13f))
        addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(position))
        mapType = GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL
        setOnMapClickListener {

    mapView.onResume()
}

override fun onPause() {
    super.onPause()
    mapView.onPause()
}

    super.onDestroy()
    mapView.onDestroy()
}

override fun onLowMemory() {
    super.onLowMemory()
    mapView.onLowMemory()
 }
}

Swift performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: is unavailable

Swift is statically typed so the performSelector: methods are to fall by the wayside.

Instead, use GCD to dispatch a suitable block to the relevant queue — in this case it'll presumably be the main queue since it looks like you're doing UIKit work.

EDIT: the relevant performSelector: is also notably missing from the Swift version of the NSRunLoop documentation ("1 Objective-C symbol hidden") so you can't jump straight in with that. With that and its absence from the Swiftified NSObject I'd argue it's pretty clear what Apple is thinking here.

Multi value Dictionary

Just create a Pair<TFirst, TSecond> type and use that as your value.

I have an example of one in my C# in Depth source code. Reproduced here for simplicity:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public sealed class Pair<TFirst, TSecond>
    : IEquatable<Pair<TFirst, TSecond>>
{
    private readonly TFirst first;
    private readonly TSecond second;

    public Pair(TFirst first, TSecond second)
    {
        this.first = first;
        this.second = second;
    }

    public TFirst First
    {
        get { return first; }
    }

    public TSecond Second
    {
        get { return second; }
    }

    public bool Equals(Pair<TFirst, TSecond> other)
    {
        if (other == null)
        {
            return false;
        }
        return EqualityComparer<TFirst>.Default.Equals(this.First, other.First) &&
               EqualityComparer<TSecond>.Default.Equals(this.Second, other.Second);
    }

    public override bool Equals(object o)
    {
        return Equals(o as Pair<TFirst, TSecond>);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return EqualityComparer<TFirst>.Default.GetHashCode(first) * 37 +
               EqualityComparer<TSecond>.Default.GetHashCode(second);
    }
}

Subquery returned more than 1 value.This is not permitted when the subquery follows =,!=,<,<=,>,>= or when the subquery is used as an expression

Use In instead of =

 select * from dbo.books
 where isbn in (select isbn from dbo.lending 
                where act between @fdate and @tdate
                and stat ='close'
               )

or you can use Exists

SELECT t1.*,t2.*
FROM  books   t1 
WHERE  EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM dbo.lending t2 WHERE t1.isbn = t2.isbn and
                t2.act between @fdate and @tdate and t2.stat ='close' )

Maven - Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1:clean

Progress during large file copy (Copy-Item & Write-Progress?)

Not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't recommend using copy-item for this anyway. I don't think it has been designed to be robust like robocopy.exe to support retry which you would want for extremely large file copies over the network.

Can I apply the required attribute to <select> fields in HTML5?

You can do it also dynamically with JQuery

Set required

$("#select1").attr('required', 'required');

Remove required

$("#select1").removeAttr('required');

POST Content-Length exceeds the limit

If you are using Php 5.6.X versions in windows using Wamp, then file location may be in,

C:\Windows\php.ini

Just try with

post_max_size = 100M;

Try to do changes in Apache one. By that your Wamp/XAMP load .ini file

Using logging in multiple modules

Throwing in another solution.

In my module's init.py I have something like:

# mymodule/__init__.py
import logging

def get_module_logger(mod_name):
  logger = logging.getLogger(mod_name)
  handler = logging.StreamHandler()
  formatter = logging.Formatter(
        '%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
  handler.setFormatter(formatter)
  logger.addHandler(handler)
  logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
  return logger

Then in each module I need a logger, I do:

# mymodule/foo.py
from [modname] import get_module_logger
logger = get_module_logger(__name__)

When the logs are missed, you can differentiate their source by the module they came from.

Create HTML table using Javascript

The problem is that if you try to write a <table> or a <tr> or <td> tag using JS every time you insert a new tag the browser will try to close it as it will think that there is an error on the code.

Instead of writing your table line by line, concatenate your table into a variable and insert it once created:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

var myArray    = new Array();
    myArray[0] = 1;
    myArray[1] = 2.218;
    myArray[2] = 33;
    myArray[3] = 114.94;
    myArray[4] = 5;
    myArray[5] = 33;
    myArray[6] = 114.980;
    myArray[7] = 5;

    var myTable= "<table><tr><td style='width: 100px; color: red;'>Col Head 1</td>";
    myTable+= "<td style='width: 100px; color: red; text-align: right;'>Col Head 2</td>";
    myTable+="<td style='width: 100px; color: red; text-align: right;'>Col Head 3</td></tr>";

    myTable+="<tr><td style='width: 100px;                   '>---------------</td>";
    myTable+="<td     style='width: 100px; text-align: right;'>---------------</td>";
    myTable+="<td     style='width: 100px; text-align: right;'>---------------</td></tr>";

  for (var i=0; i<8; i++) {
    myTable+="<tr><td style='width: 100px;'>Number " + i + " is:</td>";
    myArray[i] = myArray[i].toFixed(3);
    myTable+="<td style='width: 100px; text-align: right;'>" + myArray[i] + "</td>";
    myTable+="<td style='width: 100px; text-align: right;'>" + myArray[i] + "</td></tr>";
  }  
   myTable+="</table>";

 document.write( myTable);

//-->
</script> 

If your code is in an external JS file, in HTML create an element with an ID where you want your table to appear:

<div id="tablePrint"> </div>

And in JS instead of document.write(myTable) use the following code:

document.getElementById('tablePrint').innerHTML = myTable;

I want to add a JSONObject to a JSONArray and that JSONArray included in other JSONObject

org.json.simple.JSONArray resultantJson = new org.json.simple.JSONArray();

        org.json.JSONArray o1 = new org.json.JSONArray("[{\"one\":[],\"two\":\"abc\"}]");
        org.json.JSONArray o2 = new org.json.JSONArray("[{\"three\":[1,2],\"four\":\"def\"}]");


        resultantJson.addAll(o1.toList());
        resultantJson.addAll(o2.toList());

How to list imported modules?

import sys
sys.modules.keys()

An approximation of getting all imports for the current module only would be to inspect globals() for modules:

import types
def imports():
    for name, val in globals().items():
        if isinstance(val, types.ModuleType):
            yield val.__name__

This won't return local imports, or non-module imports like from x import y. Note that this returns val.__name__ so you get the original module name if you used import module as alias; yield name instead if you want the alias.

Python: Tuples/dictionaries as keys, select, sort

You could have a dictionary where the entries are a list of other dictionaries:

fruit_dict = dict()
fruit_dict['banana'] = [{'yellow': 24}]
fruit_dict['apple'] = [{'red': 12}, {'green': 14}]
print fruit_dict

Output:

{'banana': [{'yellow': 24}], 'apple': [{'red': 12}, {'green': 14}]}

Edit: As eumiro pointed out, you could use a dictionary of dictionaries:

fruit_dict = dict()
fruit_dict['banana'] = {'yellow': 24}
fruit_dict['apple'] = {'red': 12, 'green': 14}
print fruit_dict

Output:

{'banana': {'yellow': 24}, 'apple': {'green': 14, 'red': 12}}

How to extract URL parameters from a URL with Ruby or Rails?

Just Improved with Levi answer above -

Rack::Utils.parse_query URI("http://example.com?par=hello&par2=bye").query

For a string like above url, it will return

{ "par" => "hello", "par2" => "bye" } 

Centering a canvas

Simple:

<body>
    <div>
        <div style="width: 800px; height:500px; margin: 50px auto;">
            <canvas width="800" height="500" style="background:#CCC">
             Your browser does not support HTML5 Canvas.
            </canvas>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

How can I detect if this dictionary key exists in C#?

I use a Dictionary and because of the repetetiveness and possible missing keys, I quickly patched together a small method:

 private static string GetKey(IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> dictValues, string keyValue)
 {
     return dictValues.ContainsKey(keyValue) ? dictValues[keyValue] : "";
 }

Calling it:

var entry = GetKey(dictList,"KeyValue1");

Gets the job done.

Decoding a Base64 string in Java

Modify the package you're using:

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

And then use it like this:

byte[] decoded = Base64.decodeBase64("YWJjZGVmZw==");
System.out.println(new String(decoded, "UTF-8") + "\n");

Get array elements from index to end

The [:-1] removes the last element. Instead of

a[3:-1]

write

a[3:]

How to list AD group membership for AD users using input list?

First: As it currently stands, the $User variable does not have a .Users property. In your code, $User simply represents one line (the "current" line in the foreach loop) from the text file.

$getmembership = Get-ADUser $User -Properties MemberOf | Select -ExpandProperty memberof

Secondly, I do not believe you can query an entire forest with one command. You will have to break it down into smaller chunks:

  1. Query forest for list of domains
  2. Call Get-ADUser for each domain (you may have to specify alternate credentials via the -Credential parameter

Thirdly, to get a list of groups that a user is a member of:

$User = Get-ADUser -Identity trevor -Properties *;
$GroupMembership = ($user.memberof | % { (Get-ADGroup $_).Name; }) -join ';';

# Result:
Orchestrator Users Group;ConfigMgr Administrators;Service Manager Admins;Domain Admins;Schema Admins

Fourthly: To get the final, desired string format, simply add the $User.Name, a semicolon, and the $GroupMembership string together:

$User.SamAccountName + ';' + $GroupMembership;

Sum across multiple columns with dplyr

I encounter this problem often, and the easiest way to do this is to use the apply() function within a mutate command.

library(tidyverse)
df=data.frame(
  x1=c(1,0,0,NA,0,1,1,NA,0,1),
  x2=c(1,1,NA,1,1,0,NA,NA,0,1),
  x3=c(0,1,0,1,1,0,NA,NA,0,1),
  x4=c(1,0,NA,1,0,0,NA,0,0,1),
  x5=c(1,1,NA,1,1,1,NA,1,0,1))

df %>%
  mutate(sum = select(., x1:x5) %>% apply(1, sum, na.rm=TRUE))

Here you could use whatever you want to select the columns using the standard dplyr tricks (e.g. starts_with() or contains()). By doing all the work within a single mutate command, this action can occur anywhere within a dplyr stream of processing steps. Finally, by using the apply() function, you have the flexibility to use whatever summary you need, including your own purpose built summarization function.

Alternatively, if the idea of using a non-tidyverse function is unappealing, then you could gather up the columns, summarize them and finally join the result back to the original data frame.

df <- df %>% mutate( id = 1:n() )   # Need some ID column for this to work

df <- df %>%
  group_by(id) %>%
  gather('Key', 'value', starts_with('x')) %>%
  summarise( Key.Sum = sum(value) ) %>%
  left_join( df, . )

Here I used the starts_with() function to select the columns and calculated the sum and you can do whatever you want with NA values. The downside to this approach is that while it is pretty flexible, it doesn't really fit into a dplyr stream of data cleaning steps.

jQuery selector for inputs with square brackets in the name attribute

You can use backslash to quote "funny" characters in your jQuery selectors:

$('#input\\[23\\]')

For attribute values, you can use quotes:

$('input[name="weirdName[23]"]')

Now, I'm a little confused by your example; what exactly does your HTML look like? Where does the string "inputName" show up, in particular?

PHP form - on submit stay on same page

In order to stay on the same page on submit you can leave action empty (action="") into the form tag, or leave it out altogether.

For the message, create a variable ($message = "Success! You entered: ".$input;") and then echo the variable at the place in the page where you want the message to appear with <?php echo $message; ?>.

Like this:

<?php
$message = "";
if(isset($_POST['SubmitButton'])){ //check if form was submitted
  $input = $_POST['inputText']; //get input text
  $message = "Success! You entered: ".$input;
}    
?>

<html>
<body>    
<form action="" method="post">
<?php echo $message; ?>
  <input type="text" name="inputText"/>
  <input type="submit" name="SubmitButton"/>
</form>    
</body>
</html>

Maintain/Save/Restore scroll position when returning to a ListView

A very simple way:

/** Save the position **/
int currentPosition = listView.getFirstVisiblePosition();

//Here u should save the currentPosition anywhere

/** Restore the previus saved position **/
listView.setSelection(savedPosition);

The method setSelection will reset the list to the supplied item. If not in touch mode the item will actually be selected if in touch mode the item will only be positioned on screen.

A more complicated approach:

listView.setOnScrollListener(this);

//Implements the interface:
@Override
public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
            int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
    mCurrentX = view.getScrollX();
    mCurrentY = view.getScrollY();
}

@Override
public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {

}

//Save anywere the x and the y

/** Restore: **/
listView.scrollTo(savedX, savedY);

Different color for each bar in a bar chart; ChartJS

If you're not able to use NewChart.js you just need to change the way to set the color using array instead. Find the helper iteration inside Chart.js:

Replace this line:

fillColor : dataset.fillColor,

For this one:

fillColor : dataset.fillColor[index],

The resulting code:

//Iterate through each of the datasets, and build this into a property of the chart
  helpers.each(data.datasets,function(dataset,datasetIndex){

    var datasetObject = {
      label : dataset.label || null,
      fillColor : dataset.fillColor,
      strokeColor : dataset.strokeColor,
      bars : []
    };

    this.datasets.push(datasetObject);

    helpers.each(dataset.data,function(dataPoint,index){
      //Add a new point for each piece of data, passing any required data to draw.
      datasetObject.bars.push(new this.BarClass({
        value : dataPoint,
        label : data.labels[index],
        datasetLabel: dataset.label,
        strokeColor : dataset.strokeColor,
        //Replace this -> fillColor : dataset.fillColor,
        // Whith the following:
        fillColor : dataset.fillColor[index],
        highlightFill : dataset.highlightFill || dataset.fillColor,
        highlightStroke : dataset.highlightStroke || dataset.strokeColor
      }));
    },this);

  },this);

And in your js:

Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child

I got the same error, I changed this

export default withAlert(Alerts)

to this

export default withAlert()(Alerts).

In older versions the former code was ok , but in later versions it throws an error. So use the later code to avoid the errror.

Angular 4.3 - HttpClient set params

Using this you can avoid the loop.

// obj is the params object with key-value pair. 
// This is how you convert that to HttpParams and pass this to GET API. 

const params = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj)
               .reduce((p, key) => p.set(key, obj[key]), new HttpParams());

Furthermore, I suggest making toHttpParams function in your commonly used service. So you can call the function to convert the object to the HttpParams.

/**
 * Convert Object to HttpParams
 * @param {Object} obj
 * @returns {HttpParams}
 */
toHttpParams(obj: Object): HttpParams {
    return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj)
        .reduce((p, key) => p.set(key, obj[key]), new HttpParams());
}

Update:

Since 5.0.0-beta.6 (2017-09-03) they added new feature (accept object map for HttpClient headers & params)

Going forward the object can be passed directly instead of HttpParams.

This is the other reason if you have used one common function like toHttpParams mentioned above, you can easily remove it or do changes if required.

How do you force a CIFS connection to unmount

Try umount -f /mnt/share. Works OK with NFS, never tried with cifs.

Also, take a look at autofs, it will mount the share only when accessed, and will unmount it afterworlds.

PHP/MySQL: How to create a comment section in your website

Normalization is your best friend in comment/rank/vote system. Learn it. A lot of sites are now moving to PDO ... learn that as well.

there are no right , right-er, or wrong (well there is) ways of doing it, you need to know the basic concepts and take them from there. IF you don't feel like learning, then perhaps invest in a framework like cakephp or zend framework, or a ready made system like wordpress or joomla.

I'd also recommend the book wicked cool php scripts as it has a comment system example in it.

Bootstrap datetimepicker is not a function

I changed the import sequence without fixing the problem, until finally I installed moments and tempus dominius (Core and bootrap), using npm and include them in boostrap.js

try {
window.Popper = require('popper.js').default;
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('moment'); /*added*/
require('bootstrap');
require('tempusdominus-bootstrap-4');/*added*/} catch (e) {}

How can I remove the search bar and footer added by the jQuery DataTables plugin?

If you only want to hide the search form for example because you have column input filters or may be because you already have a CMS search form able to return results from the table then all you have to do is inspect the form and get its id - (at the time of writing this, it looks as such[tableid]-table_filter.dataTables_filter). Then simply do [tableid]-table_filter.dataTables_filter{display:none;} retaining all other features of datatables.

pod install -bash: pod: command not found

This Step Is Proper Working.

Pod Install

[ 1 ] Open terminal and type:

sudo gem install cocoapods

Gem will get installed in Ruby inside the System library. Or try on 10.11 Mac OSX El Capitan, type:

sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods

If there is an error "activesupport requires Ruby version >= 2.xx", then install the latest active support first by typing in the terminal.

sudo gem install activesupport -v 4.2.6

[ 2 ] After installation, there will be a lot of messages, read them and if no error found, it means cocoa pod installation is done. Next, you need to set up the cocoa pod master repo. Type in terminal:

pod setup

And wait it will download the master repo. The size is very big (370.0MB in Dec 2016). So it can be a while. You can track the download by opening Activity and go to the Network tab and search for git-remote-https. Alternatively, you can try adding verbose to the command like so:

pod setup --verbose

[ 3 ] Once done it will output "Setup Complete", and you can create your XCode project and save it.

[ 4 ] Then in a terminal cd to "your XCode project root directory" (where your .xcodeproj file resides) and type:

pod init

[ 5 ] Then open your project's podfile by typing in terminal:

open -a Xcode Podfile

[ 6 ] Your Podfile will get open in text mode. Initially, there will be some default commands in there. Here is where you add your project's dependencies. For example, in the podfile, type

/****** These are Third party pods names ******/
pod 'OpenSSL-Universal'
pod 'IQKeyboardManager'
pod 'FTPopOverMenu'
pod 'TYMActivityIndicatorView'
pod 'SCSkypeActivityIndicatorView'
pod 'Google/SignIn'
pod 'UPStackMenu'

(this is For example of adding library to your project).

When you are done editing the podfile, save it and close XCode.

[ 7 ] Then install pods into your project by typing in terminal:

pod install

Depending on how many libraries you added to your podfile for your project, the time to complete this varies. Once completed, there will be a message that says

"Pod installation complete! There are X dependencies from the Podfile and X total pods installed."

How to delete an element from an array in C#

The code that is written in the question has a bug in it

Your arraylist contains strings of " 1" " 3" " 4" " 9" and " 2" (note the spaces)

So IndexOf(4) will find nothing because 4 is an int, and even "tostring" would convert it to of "4" and not " 4", and nothing will get removed.

An arraylist is the correct way to go to do what you want.

How update the _id of one MongoDB Document?

To do it for your whole collection you can also use a loop (based on Niels example):

db.status.find().forEach(function(doc){ 
    doc._id=doc.UserId; db.status_new.insert(doc);
});
db.status_new.renameCollection("status", true);

In this case UserId was the new ID I wanted to use

How do I turn off the mysql password validation?

For mysql 8.0 the command to disable password validation component is:

UNINSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component_validate_password';

To install it back again, the command is:

INSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component_validate_password';

If you just want to change the policy of password validation plugin:

SET GLOBAL validate_password.policy = 0;   // For LOW
SET GLOBAL validate_password.policy = 1;   // For MEDIUM
SET GLOBAL validate_password.policy = 2;   // For HIGH

Can't Autowire @Repository annotated interface in Spring Boot

Sometimes I had the same issues when I forget to add Lombok annotation processor dependency to the maven configuration

Hide axis values but keep axis tick labels in matplotlib

Not sure this is the best way, but you can certainly replace the tick labels like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = range(10)
y = range(10)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks(x," ")
plt.show()

In Python 3.4 this generates a simple line plot with no tick labels on the x-axis. A simple example is here: http://matplotlib.org/examples/ticks_and_spines/ticklabels_demo_rotation.html

This related question also has some better suggestions: Hiding axis text in matplotlib plots

I'm new to python. Your mileage may vary in earlier versions. Maybe others can help?

Spring RestTemplate timeout

This question is the first link for a Spring Boot search, therefore, would be great to put here the solution recommended in the official documentation. Spring Boot has its own convenience bean RestTemplateBuilder:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate(
        RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) {

    return restTemplateBuilder
            .setConnectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(500))
            .setReadTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(500))
            .build();
}

Manual creation of RestTemplate instances is a potentially troublesome approach because other auto-configured beans are not being injected in manually created instances.

Changing project port number in Visual Studio 2013

This has proved to be elusive for me (WebSite Project) until I figured out the following procedure, which combines the solution provided by @Jimmy, with the added step of checking out the solution from Source Control

Steps: (if using VS2013+ with website project and SourceControl)

  1. Check out the Solution file only (from sourceControl) (this can be tricky. the easiest way to do this is to make a small change in the Solution file properties/settings and then undo if necessary)
  2. Locate the solution file (e.g. solution.sln) in exploer, and open in text editor.
  3. Locate the entry: VWDPort = ...... and change to desired port: (example: "60000" - depends on your IISExpress Settings)
  4. save the change (will prompt to reload solution)

Long vs Integer, long vs int, what to use and when?

  • By default use an int, when holding numbers.
  • If the range of int is too small, use a long
  • If the range of long is too small, use BigInteger
  • If you need to handle your numbers as object (for example when putting them into a Collection, handling null, ...) use Integer/Long instead

ICommand MVVM implementation

@Carlo I really like your implementation of this, but I wanted to share my version and how to use it in my ViewModel

First implement ICommand

public class Command : ICommand
{
    public delegate void ICommandOnExecute();
    public delegate bool ICommandOnCanExecute();

    private ICommandOnExecute _execute;
    private ICommandOnCanExecute _canExecute;

    public Command(ICommandOnExecute onExecuteMethod, ICommandOnCanExecute onCanExecuteMethod = null)
    {
        _execute = onExecuteMethod;
        _canExecute = onCanExecuteMethod;
    }

    #region ICommand Members

    public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
    {
        add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
        remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
    }

    public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
    {
        return _canExecute?.Invoke() ?? true;
    }

    public void Execute(object parameter)
    {
        _execute?.Invoke();
    }

    #endregion
}

Notice I have removed the parameter from ICommandOnExecute and ICommandOnCanExecute and added a null to the constructor

Then to use in the ViewModel

public Command CommandToRun_WithCheck
{
    get
    {
        return new Command(() =>
        {
            // Code to run
        }, () =>
        {
            // Code to check to see if we can run 
            // Return true or false
        });
    }
}

public Command CommandToRun_NoCheck
{
    get
    {
        return new Command(() =>
        {
            // Code to run
        });
    }
}

I just find this way cleaner as I don't need to assign variables and then instantiate, it all done in one go.

Foreign key constraints: When to use ON UPDATE and ON DELETE

Do not hesitate to put constraints on the database. You'll be sure to have a consistent database, and that's one of the good reasons to use a database. Especially if you have several applications requesting it (or just one application but with a direct mode and a batch mode using different sources).

With MySQL you do not have advanced constraints like you would have in postgreSQL but at least the foreign key constraints are quite advanced.

We'll take an example, a company table with a user table containing people from theses company

CREATE TABLE COMPANY (
     company_id INT NOT NULL,
     company_name VARCHAR(50),
     PRIMARY KEY (company_id)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

CREATE TABLE USER (
     user_id INT, 
     user_name VARCHAR(50), 
     company_id INT,
     INDEX company_id_idx (company_id),
     FOREIGN KEY (company_id) REFERENCES COMPANY (company_id) ON...
) ENGINE=INNODB;

Let's look at the ON UPDATE clause:

  • ON UPDATE RESTRICT : the default : if you try to update a company_id in table COMPANY the engine will reject the operation if one USER at least links on this company.
  • ON UPDATE NO ACTION : same as RESTRICT.
  • ON UPDATE CASCADE : the best one usually : if you update a company_id in a row of table COMPANY the engine will update it accordingly on all USER rows referencing this COMPANY (but no triggers activated on USER table, warning). The engine will track the changes for you, it's good.
  • ON UPDATE SET NULL : if you update a company_id in a row of table COMPANY the engine will set related USERs company_id to NULL (should be available in USER company_id field). I cannot see any interesting thing to do with that on an update, but I may be wrong.

And now on the ON DELETE side:

  • ON DELETE RESTRICT : the default : if you try to delete a company_id Id in table COMPANY the engine will reject the operation if one USER at least links on this company, can save your life.
  • ON DELETE NO ACTION : same as RESTRICT
  • ON DELETE CASCADE : dangerous : if you delete a company row in table COMPANY the engine will delete as well the related USERs. This is dangerous but can be used to make automatic cleanups on secondary tables (so it can be something you want, but quite certainly not for a COMPANY<->USER example)
  • ON DELETE SET NULL : handful : if you delete a COMPANY row the related USERs will automatically have the relationship to NULL. If Null is your value for users with no company this can be a good behavior, for example maybe you need to keep the users in your application, as authors of some content, but removing the company is not a problem for you.

usually my default is: ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE. with some ON DELETE CASCADE for track tables (logs--not all logs--, things like that) and ON DELETE SET NULL when the master table is a 'simple attribute' for the table containing the foreign key, like a JOB table for the USER table.

Edit

It's been a long time since I wrote that. Now I think I should add one important warning. MySQL has one big documented limitation with cascades. Cascades are not firing triggers. So if you were over confident enough in that engine to use triggers you should avoid cascades constraints.

MySQL triggers activate only for changes made to tables by SQL statements. They do not activate for changes in views, nor by changes to tables made by APIs that do not transmit SQL statements to the MySQL Server

==> See below the last edit, things are moving on this domain

Triggers are not activated by foreign key actions.

And I do not think this will get fixed one day. Foreign key constraints are managed by the InnoDb storage and Triggers are managed by the MySQL SQL engine. Both are separated. Innodb is the only storage with constraint management, maybe they'll add triggers directly in the storage engine one day, maybe not.

But I have my own opinion on which element you should choose between the poor trigger implementation and the very useful foreign keys constraints support. And once you'll get used to database consistency you'll love PostgreSQL.

12/2017-Updating this Edit about MySQL:

as stated by @IstiaqueAhmed in the comments, the situation has changed on this subject. So follow the link and check the real up-to-date situation (which may change again in the future).

Creating multiple objects with different names in a loop to store in an array list

ArrayList<Customer> custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
while(youWantToContinue) {
    //get a customerName
    //get an amount
    custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount);
}

For this to work... you'll have to fix your constructor...


Assuming your Customer class has variables called name and sale, your constructor should look like this:

public Customer(String customerName, double amount) {
    name = customerName;
    sale = amount;
}

Change your Store class to something more like this:

public class Store {

    private ArrayList<Customer> custArr;

    public new Store() {
        custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
    }

    public void addSale(String customerName, double amount) {
        custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount));
    }

    public Customer getSaleAtIndex(int index) {
        return custArr.get(index);
    }

    //or if you want the entire ArrayList:
    public ArrayList getCustArr() {
        return custArr;
    }
}

How to find the maximum value in an array?

If you can change the order of the elements:

 int[] myArray = new int[]{1, 3, 8, 5, 7, };
 Arrays.sort(myArray);
 int max = myArray[myArray.length - 1];

If you can't change the order of the elements:

int[] myArray = new int[]{1, 3, 8, 5, 7, };
int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for(int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
      if(myArray[i] > max) {
         max = myArray[i];
      }
}

How to discard all changes made to a branch?

When you want to discard changes in your local branch, you can stash these changes using git stash command.

git stash save "some_name"

Your changes will be saved and you can retrieve those later,if you want or you can delete it. After doing this, your branch will not have any uncommitted code and you can pull the latest code from your main branch using git pull.

How to install iPhone application in iPhone Simulator

This worked for me on iOS 5.0 simulator.

  1. Run the app on the simulator.

  2. Go to the path where you can see something like this:

    /Users/arshad/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/5.0/Applications/34BC3FDC-7398-42D4-9114-D5FEFC737512/…
    
  3. Copy all the package contents including the app, lib, temp and Documents.

  4. Clear all the applications installed on the simulator so that it is easier to see what is happening.

  5. Run a pre-existing app you have on your simulator.

  6. Look for the same package content for that application as in step 3 and delete all.

  7. Paste the package contents that you have previously copied.

  8. Close the simulator and start it again. The new app icon of the intended app will replace the old one.

Most efficient way to append arrays in C#?

You might not need to concatenate end result into contiguous array. Instead, keep appending to the list as suggested by Jon. In the end you'll have a jagged array (well, almost rectangular in fact). When you need to access an element by index, use following indexing scheme:

double x = list[i / sampleSize][i % sampleSize];

Iteration over jagged array is also straightforward:

for (int iRow = 0; iRow < list.Length; ++iRow) {
  double[] row = list[iRow];
  for (int iCol = 0; iCol < row.Length; ++iCol) {
    double x = row[iCol];
  }
}

This saves you memory allocation and copying at expense of slightly slower element access. Whether this will be a net performance gain depends on size of your data, data access patterns and memory constraints.

Setting Authorization Header of HttpClient

Maven:Non-resolvable parent POM and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM

I'm probably a bit late to the party, but I wrote the junitcategorizer for my thesis project at TOPdesk. Earlier versions indeed used a company internal Parent POM. So your problems are caused by the Parent POM not being resolvable, since it is not available to the outside world.

You can either:

  • Remove the <parent> block, but then have to configure the Surefire, Compiler and other plugins yourself
  • (Only applicable to this specific case!) Change it to point to our Open Source Parent POM by setting:
<parent>
    <groupId>com.topdesk</groupId>
    <artifactId>open-source-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.0</version>

Action bar navigation modes are deprecated in Android L

The new Android Design Support Library adds TabLayout, providing a tab implementation that matches the material design guidelines for tabs. A complete walkthrough of how to implement Tabs and ViewPager can be found in this video

Now deprecated: The PagerTabStrip is part of the support library (and has been for some time) and serves as a direct replacement. If you prefer the newer Google Play style tabs, you can use the PagerSlidingTabStrip library or modify either of the Google provided examples SlidingTabsBasic or SlidingTabsColors as explained in this Dev Bytes video.
