Angular2 *ngIf check object array length in template

 
<div class="row" *ngIf="teamMembers?.length > 0">

This checks first if teamMembers has a value and if teamMembers doesn't have a value, it doesn't try to access length of undefined because the first part of the condition already fails.

Rails 4 - passing variable to partial

From the Rails api on PartialRender:

Rendering the default case

If you're not going to be using any of the options like collections or layouts, you can also use the short-hand defaults of render to render partials.

Examples:

# Instead of <%= render partial: "account" %>
<%= render "account" %>

# Instead of <%= render partial: "account", locals: { account: @buyer } %>
<%= render "account", account: @buyer %>

# @account.to_partial_path returns 'accounts/account', so it can be used to replace:
# <%= render partial: "accounts/account", locals: { account: @account} %>
<%= render @account %>

# @posts is an array of Post instances, so every post record returns 'posts/post' on `to_partial_path`,
# that's why we can replace:
# <%= render partial: "posts/post", collection: @posts %>
<%= render @posts %>

So, you can use pass a local variable size to render as follows:

<%= render @users, size: 50 %>

and then use it in the _user.html.erb partial:

<li>
    <%= gravatar_for user, size: size %>
    <%= link_to user.name, user %>
</li>

Note that size: size is equivalent to :size => size.

Why am I seeing "TypeError: string indices must be integers"?

This can happen if a comma is missing. I ran into it when I had a list of two-tuples, each of which consisted of a string in the first position, and a list in the second. I erroneously omitted the comma after the first component of a tuple in one case, and the interpreter thought I was trying to index the first component.

Load an image from a url into a PictureBox

The PictureBox.Load(string url) method "sets the ImageLocation to the specified URL and displays the image indicated."

Use mysql_fetch_array() with foreach() instead of while()

There's not a good way to convert it to foreach, because mysql_fetch_array() just fetches the next result from $result_select. If you really wanted to foreach, you could do pull all the results into an array first, doing something like the following:

$result_list = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_select)) {
   result_list[] = $row;
}

foreach($result_list as $row) {
   ...
}

But there's no good reason I can see to do that - and you still have to use the while loop, which is unavoidable due to how mysql_fetch_array() works. Why is it so important to use a foreach()?

EDIT: If this is just for learning purposes: you can't convert this to a foreach. You have to have a pre-existing array to use a foreach() instead of a while(), and mysql_fetch_array() fetches one result per call - there's no pre-existing array for foreach() to iterate through.

Bootstrap 3 - How to load content in modal body via AJAX?

create an empty modal box on the current page and below is the ajax call you can see how to fetch the content in result from another html page.

 $.ajax({url: "registration.html", success: function(result){
            //alert("success"+result);
              $("#contentBody").html(result);
            $("#myModal").modal('show'); 

        }});

once the call is done you will get the content of the page by the result to then you can insert the code in you modal's content id using.

You can call controller and get the page content and you can show that in your modal.

below is the example of Bootstrap 3 modal in that we are loading content from registration.html page...

Datatable date sorting dd/mm/yyyy issue

I too got same problem.

I was using span with in td like 03/21/2017, by doing this, datatable treated this as string and sorting did not work.

I removed span inside td, and it got fixed. like, 03/21/2017

How to make a promise from setTimeout

Implementation:

// Promisify setTimeout
const pause = (ms, cb, ...args) =>
  new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(async () => {
      try {
        resolve(await cb?.(...args))
      } catch (error) {
        reject(error)
      }
    }, ms)
  })

Tests:

// Test 1
pause(1000).then(() => console.log('called'))
// Test 2
pause(1000, (a, b, c) => [a, b, c], 1, 2, 3).then(value => console.log(value))
// Test 3
pause(1000, () => {
  throw Error('foo')
}).catch(error => console.error(error))

Capitalize the first letter of string in AngularJs

Failed to load the JNI shared Library (JDK)

I want to previde another solution for this error, especially for who want to use 32-bit and 64-bit Eclipse in one system.

Eclipse will startup using the JRE/JDK in jre sub-directory if it exists. (STS or other eclipse based IDE also support this feature...)

The solution is create directory junction using mklink.exe command which exist in windows vista or newer version (junction.exe offer similar function for Windows 2000/XP)
Open the command line windows and exeute following command:

mklink /j "$ECLIPSE-HOME/jre" "$JDK_or_JRE_home"

Of course, if the Eclipse is for 64-bit Windows, the architecture of JDK/JRE must be the same.

Assume:

  • Eclipse for windows x86_64 is installed in d:\devTool\eclipse
  • JDK for windows x64 is installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0

The command for creating the jre folder will be:

mklink /j "d:\devTool\eclipse\jre" "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0"

BTW, delete directory junction will NOT delete any file. If you create a wrong link, you can delete it using file explorer or rmdir command.

rmdir "d:\devTool\eclipse\jre"

Parenthesis/Brackets Matching using Stack algorithm

Here's a solution in Python.

#!/usr/bin/env python

def brackets_match(brackets):
    stack = []
    for char in brackets:
        if char == "{" or char == "(" or char == "[":
            stack.append(char)
        if char == "}":
            if stack[-1] == "{":
                stack.pop()
            else:
                return False
        elif char == "]":
            if stack[-1] == "[":
                stack.pop()
            else:
                return False
        elif char == ")":
            if stack[-1] == "(":
                stack.pop()
            else:
                return False
    if len(stack) == 0:
        return True
    else:
        return False

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(brackets_match("This is testing {([])} if brackets have match."))

Combine two columns and add into one new column

Generally, I agree with @kgrittn's advice. Go for it.

But to address your basic question about concat(): The new function concat() is useful if you need to deal with null values - and null has neither been ruled out in your question nor in the one you refer to.

If you can rule out null values, the good old (SQL standard) concatenation operator || is still the best choice, and @luis' answer is just fine:

SELECT col_a || col_b;

If either of your columns can be null, the result would be null in that case. You could defend with COALESCE:

SELECT COALESCE(col_a, '') || COALESCE(col_b, '');

But that get tedious quickly with more arguments. That's where concat() comes in, which never returns null, not even if all arguments are null. Per documentation:

NULL arguments are ignored.

SELECT concat(col_a, col_b);

The remaining corner case for both alternatives is where all input columns are null in which case we still get an empty string '', but one might want null instead (at least I would). One possible way:

SELECT CASE
          WHEN col_a IS NULL THEN col_b
          WHEN col_b IS NULL THEN col_a
          ELSE col_a || col_b
       END;

This gets more complex with more columns quickly. Again, use concat() but add a check for the special condition:

SELECT CASE WHEN (col_a, col_b) IS NULL THEN NULL
            ELSE concat(col_a, col_b) END;

How does this work?
(col_a, col_b) is shorthand notation for a row type expression ROW (col_a, col_b). And a row type is only null if all columns are null. Detailed explanation:

Also, use concat_ws() to add separators between elements (ws for "with separator").

An expression like the one in Kevin's answer:

SELECT $1.zipcode || ' - ' || $1.city || ', ' || $1.state;

is tedious to prepare for null values in PostgreSQL 8.3 (without concat()). One way (of many):

SELECT COALESCE(
         CASE
            WHEN $1.zipcode IS NULL THEN $1.city
            WHEN $1.city    IS NULL THEN $1.zipcode
            ELSE $1.zipcode || ' - ' || $1.city
         END, '')
       || COALESCE(', ' || $1.state, '');

Function volatility is only STABLE

concat() and concat_ws() are STABLE functions, not IMMUTABLE because they can invoke datatype output functions (like timestamptz_out) that depend on locale settings.
Explanation by Tom Lane.

This prohibits their direct use in index expressions. If you know that the result is actually immutable in your case, you can work around this with an IMMUTABLE function wrapper. Example here:

Difference between Python's Generators and Iterators

iterator is a more general concept: any object whose class has a __next__ method (next in Python 2) and an __iter__ method that does return self.

Every generator is an iterator, but not vice versa. A generator is built by calling a function that has one or more yield expressions (yield statements, in Python 2.5 and earlier), and is an object that meets the previous paragraph's definition of an iterator.

You may want to use a custom iterator, rather than a generator, when you need a class with somewhat complex state-maintaining behavior, or want to expose other methods besides __next__ (and __iter__ and __init__). Most often, a generator (sometimes, for sufficiently simple needs, a generator expression) is sufficient, and it's simpler to code because state maintenance (within reasonable limits) is basically "done for you" by the frame getting suspended and resumed.

For example, a generator such as:

def squares(start, stop):
    for i in range(start, stop):
        yield i * i

generator = squares(a, b)

or the equivalent generator expression (genexp)

generator = (i*i for i in range(a, b))

would take more code to build as a custom iterator:

class Squares(object):
    def __init__(self, start, stop):
       self.start = start
       self.stop = stop
    def __iter__(self): return self
    def __next__(self): # next in Python 2
       if self.start >= self.stop:
           raise StopIteration
       current = self.start * self.start
       self.start += 1
       return current

iterator = Squares(a, b)

But, of course, with class Squares you could easily offer extra methods, i.e.

    def current(self):
       return self.start

if you have any actual need for such extra functionality in your application.

Get values from a listbox on a sheet

The accepted answer doesn't cut it because if a user de-selects a row the list is not updated accordingly.

Here is what I suggest instead:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    Dim lItem As Long

    For lItem = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
        If ListBox1.Selected(lItem) = True Then
            MsgBox(ListBox1.List(lItem))
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Convert PEM traditional private key to PKCS8 private key

To convert the private key from PKCS#1 to PKCS#8 with openssl:

# openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in pkcs1.key -out pkcs8.key

That will work as long as you have the PKCS#1 key in PEM (text format) as described in the question.

add class with JavaScript

Here is a method adapted from Jquery 2.1.1 that take a dom element instead of a jquery object (so jquery is not needed). Includes type checks and regex expressions:

function addClass(element, value) {
    // Regex terms
    var rclass = /[\t\r\n\f]/g,
        rnotwhite = (/\S+/g);

    var classes,
        cur,
        curClass,
        finalValue,
        proceed = typeof value === "string" && value;

    if (!proceed) return element;

    classes = (value || "").match(rnotwhite) || [];

    cur = element.nodeType === 1
        && (element.className
                ? (" " + element.className + " ").replace(rclass, " ")
                : " "
        );

    if (!cur) return element;

    var j = 0;

    while ((curClass = classes[j++])) {

        if (cur.indexOf(" " + curClass + " ") < 0) {

            cur += curClass + " ";

        }

    }

    // only assign if different to avoid unneeded rendering.
    finalValue = cur.trim();

    if (element.className !== finalValue) {

        element.className = finalValue;

    }

    return element;
};

How to generate a Makefile with source in sub-directories using just one makefile

The reason is that your rule

%.o: %.cpp
       ...

expects the .cpp file to reside in the same directory as the .o your building. Since test.exe in your case depends on build/widgets/apple.o (etc), make is expecting apple.cpp to be build/widgets/apple.cpp.

You can use VPATH to resolve this:

VPATH = src/widgets

BUILDDIR = build/widgets

$(BUILDDIR)/%.o: %.cpp
      ...

When attempting to build "build/widgets/apple.o", make will search for apple.cpp in VPATH. Note that the build rule has to use special variables in order to access the actual filename make finds:

$(BUILDDIR)/%.o: %.cpp
        $(CC) $< -o $@

Where "$<" expands to the path where make located the first dependency.

Also note that this will build all the .o files in build/widgets. If you want to build the binaries in different directories, you can do something like

build/widgets/%.o: %.cpp
        ....

build/ui/%.o: %.cpp
        ....

build/tests/%.o: %.cpp
        ....

I would recommend that you use "canned command sequences" in order to avoid repeating the actual compiler build rule:

define cc-command
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@
endef

You can then have multiple rules like this:

build1/foo.o build1/bar.o: %.o: %.cpp
    $(cc-command)

build2/frotz.o build2/fie.o: %.o: %.cpp
    $(cc-command)

Batch: Remove file extension

If your variable is an argument, you can simply use %~dpn (for paths) or %~n (for names only) followed by the argument number, so you don't have to worry for varying extension lengths.

For instance %~dpn0 will return the path of the batch file without its extension, %~dpn1 will be %1 without extension, etc.

Whereas %~n0 will return the name of the batch file without its extension, %~n1 will be %1 without path and extension, etc.

How to repair COMException error 80040154?

I had the same issue in a Windows Service. All keys where in the right place in the registry. The build of the service was done for x86 and I still got the exception. I found out about CorFlags.exe

Run this on your service.exe without flags to verify if you run under 32 bit. If not run it with the flag /32BIT+ /Force (Force only for signed assemblies)

If you have UAC turned you can get the following error: corflags : error CF001 : Could not open file for writing Give the user full control on the assemblies.

What's the best way to share data between activities?

And if you wanna work with data object, this two implements very important:

Serializable vs Parcelable

  • Serializable is a marker interface, which implies the user cannot marshal the data according to their requirements. So when object implements Serializable Java will automatically serialize it.
  • Parcelable is android own serialization protocol. In Parcelable, developers write custom code for marshaling and unmarshaling. So it creates less garbage objects in comparison to Serialization
  • The performance of Parcelable is very high when comparing to Serializable because of its custom implementation It is highly recommended to use Parcelable implantation when serializing objects in android.

Meaning of .Cells(.Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).row

The first part:

.Cells(.Rows.Count,"A")

Sends you to the bottom row of column A, which you knew already.

The End function starts at a cell and then, depending on the direction you tell it, goes that direction until it reaches the edge of a group of cells that have text. Meaning, if you have text in cells C4:E4 and you type:

Sheet1.Cells(4,"C").End(xlToRight).Select

The program will select E4, the rightmost cell with text in it.

In your case, the code is spitting out the row of the very last cell with text in it in column A. Does that help?

When do you use the "this" keyword?

I tend to underscore fields with _ so don't really ever need to use this. Also R# tends to refactor them away anyway...

PHP str_replace replace spaces with underscores

Try this instead:

$journalName = preg_replace('/\s+/', '_', $journalName);

Explanation: you are most likely seeing whitespace, not just plain spaces (there is a difference).

Hex to ascii string conversion

If I understand correctly, you want to know how to convert bytes encoded as a hex string to its form as an ASCII text, like "537461636B" would be converted to "Stack", in such case then the following code should solve your problem.

Have not run any benchmarks but I assume it is not the peak of efficiency.

static char ByteToAscii(const char *input) {
  char singleChar, out;
  memcpy(&singleChar, input, 2);
  sprintf(&out, "%c", (int)strtol(&singleChar, NULL, 16));
  return out;
}

int HexStringToAscii(const char *input, unsigned int length,
                            char **output) {
  int mIndex, sIndex = 0;
  char buffer[length];
  for (mIndex = 0; mIndex < length; mIndex++) {
    sIndex = mIndex * 2;
    char b = ByteToAscii(&input[sIndex]);
    memcpy(&buffer[mIndex], &b, 1);
  }
  *output = strdup(buffer);
  return 0;
}

Conversion of System.Array to List

There is also a constructor overload for List that will work... But I guess this would required a strong typed array.

//public List(IEnumerable<T> collection)
var intArray = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
var list = new List<int>(intArray);

... for Array class

var intArray = Array.CreateInstance(typeof(int), 5);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    intArray.SetValue(i, i);
var list = new List<int>((int[])intArray);

Git Symlinks in Windows

One simple trick we use is to just call git add --all twice in a row.

For example, our Windows 7 commit script calls:

$ git add --all
$ git add --all

The first add treats the link as text and adds the folders for delete.

The second add traverses the link correctly and undoes the delete by restoring the files.

It's less elegant than some of the other proposed solutions but it is a simple fix to some of our legacy environments that got symlinks added.

plotting different colors in matplotlib

Joe Kington's excellent answer is already 4 years old, Matplotlib has incrementally changed (in particular, the introduction of the cycler module) and the new major release, Matplotlib 2.0.x, has introduced stylistic differences that are important from the point of view of the colors used by default.

The color of individual lines

The color of individual lines (as well as the color of different plot elements, e.g., markers in scatter plots) is controlled by the color keyword argument,

plt.plot(x, y, color=my_color)

my_color is either

The color cycle

By default, different lines are plotted using different colors, that are defined by default and are used in a cyclic manner (hence the name color cycle).

The color cycle is a property of the axes object, and in older releases was simply a sequence of valid color names (by default a string of one character color names, "bgrcmyk") and you could set it as in

my_ax.set_color_cycle(['kbkykrkg'])

(as noted in a comment this API has been deprecated, more on this later).

In Matplotlib 2.0 the default color cycle is ["#1f77b4", "#ff7f0e", "#2ca02c", "#d62728", "#9467bd", "#8c564b", "#e377c2", "#7f7f7f", "#bcbd22", "#17becf"], the Vega category10 palette.

The cycler module: composable cycles

The following code shows that the color cycle notion has been deprecated

In [1]: from matplotlib import rc_params

In [2]: rc_params()['axes.color_cycle']
/home/boffi/lib/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:938: UserWarning: axes.color_cycle is deprecated and replaced with axes.prop_cycle; please use the latter.
  warnings.warn(self.msg_depr % (key, alt_key))
Out[2]: 
['#1f77b4', '#ff7f0e', '#2ca02c', '#d62728', '#9467bd',
 '#8c564b', '#e377c2', '#7f7f7f', '#bcbd22', '#17becf']

Now the relevant property is the 'axes.prop_cycle'

In [3]: rc_params()['axes.prop_cycle']
Out[3]: cycler('color', ['#1f77b4', '#ff7f0e', '#2ca02c', '#d62728', '#9467bd', '#8c564b', '#e377c2', '#7f7f7f', '#bcbd22', '#17becf'])

Previously, the color_cycle was a generic sequence of valid color denominations, now by default it is a cycler object containing a label ('color') and a sequence of valid color denominations. The step forward with respect to the previous interface is that it is possible to cycle not only on the color of lines but also on other line attributes, e.g.,

In [5]: from cycler import cycler

In [6]: new_prop_cycle = cycler('color', ['k', 'r']) * cycler('linewidth', [1., 1.5, 2.])

In [7]: for kwargs in new_prop_cycle: print(kwargs)
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 1.0}
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 1.5}
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 2.0}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 1.0}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 1.5}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 2.0}

As you have seen, the cycler objects are composable and when you iterate on a composed cycler what you get, at each iteration, is a dictionary of keyword arguments for plt.plot.

You can use the new defaults on a per axes object ratio,

my_ax.set_prop_cycle(new_prop_cycle)

or you can install temporarily the new default

plt.rc('axes', prop_cycle=new_prop_cycle)

or change altogether the default editing your .matplotlibrc file.

Last possibility, use a context manager

with plt.rc_context({'axes.prop_cycle': new_prop_cycle}):
    ...

to have the new cycler used in a group of different plots, reverting to defaults at the end of the context.

The doc string of the cycler() function is useful, but the (not so much) gory details about the cycler module and the cycler() function, as well as examples, can be found in the fine docs.

Determine file creation date in Java

This is a basic example of how to get the creation date of a file in Java, using BasicFileAttributes class:

   Path path = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\jorgesys\\workspaceJava\\myfile.txt");
    BasicFileAttributes attr;
    try {
    attr = Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class);
    System.out.println("Creation date: " + attr.creationTime());
    //System.out.println("Last access date: " + attr.lastAccessTime());
    //System.out.println("Last modified date: " + attr.lastModifiedTime());
    } catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("oops error! " + e.getMessage());
}

Iterating through a list in reverse order in java

To have code which looks like this:

List<Item> items;
...
for (Item item : In.reverse(items))
{
    ...
}

Put this code into a file called "In.java":

import java.util.*;

public enum In {;
    public static final <T> Iterable<T> reverse(final List<T> list) {
        return new ListReverseIterable<T>(list);
    }

    class ListReverseIterable<T> implements Iterable<T> {
        private final List<T> mList;

        public ListReverseIterable(final List<T> list) {
            mList = list;
        }

        public Iterator<T> iterator() {
            return new Iterator<T>() {
                final ListIterator<T> it = mList.listIterator(mList.size());

                public boolean hasNext() {
                    return it.hasPrevious();
                }
                public T next() {
                    return it.previous();
                }
                public void remove() {
                    it.remove();
                }
            };
        }
    }
}

Android – Listen For Incoming SMS Messages

In case you want to handle intent on opened activity, you can use PendintIntent (Complete steps below):

public class SMSReciver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        final Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
        try {
            if (bundle != null) {
                final Object[] pdusObj = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
                for (int i = 0; i < pdusObj.length; i++) {
                    SmsMessage currentMessage = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) pdusObj[i]);
                    String phoneNumber = currentMessage.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
                    String senderNum = phoneNumber;
                    String message = currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody();
                    try {
                        if (senderNum.contains("MOB_NUMBER")) {
                            Toast.makeText(context,"",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                            Intent intentCall = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
                            intentCall.putExtra("message", currentMessage.getMessageBody());

                            PendingIntent pendingIntent= PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intentCall, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                            pendingIntent.send();
                        }
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }
}

How to set an iframe src attribute from a variable in AngularJS

You need also $sce.trustAsResourceUrl or it won't open the website inside the iframe:

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
angular.module('myApp', [])_x000D_
    .controller('dummy', ['$scope', '$sce', function ($scope, $sce) {_x000D_
_x000D_
    $scope.url = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl('https://www.angularjs.org');_x000D_
_x000D_
    $scope.changeIt = function () {_x000D_
        $scope.url = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl('https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial');_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}]);
_x000D_ 
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="dummy">_x000D_
    <iframe ng-src="{{url}}" width="300" height="200"></iframe>_x000D_
    <br>_x000D_

Converting json results to a date

You need to extract the number from the string, and pass it into the Date constructor:

var x = [{
    "id": 1,
    "start": "\/Date(1238540400000)\/"
}, {
    "id": 2,
    "start": "\/Date(1238626800000)\/"
}];

var myDate = new Date(x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1);

The parts are:

x[0].start                                - get the string from the JSON
x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0]                - extract the numeric part
x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1            - convert it to a numeric type
new Date(x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1)) - Create a date object

How do I load an url in iframe with Jquery

Just in case anyone still stumbles upon this old question:

The code was theoretically almost correct in a sense, the problem was the use of $('this') instead of $(this), therefore telling jQuery to look for a tag. 

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#frame").click(function () { 
    $(this).load("http://www.google.com/");
  });
});

The script itself woudln't work as it is right now though because the load() function itself is an AJAX function, and google does not seem to specifically allow the use of loading this page with AJAX, but this method should be easy to use in order to load pages from your own domain by using relative paths.

How to clear the interpreter console?

What is the difference between Hibernate and Spring Data JPA

If you prefer simplicity and more control on SQL queries then I would suggest going with Spring Data/ Spring JDBC.

Its good amount of learning curve in JPA and sometimes difficult to debug issues. On the other hand, while you have full control over SQL, it becomes much easier to optimize query and improve performance. You can easily share your SQL with DBA or someone who has a better understanding of Database.

How to Get Element By Class in JavaScript?

I think something like:

function ReplaceContentInContainer(klass,content) {
var elems = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for (i in elems){
    if(elems[i].getAttribute('class') == klass || elems[i].getAttribute('className') == klass){
        elems[i].innerHTML = content;
    }
}
}

would work

Combining border-top,border-right,border-left,border-bottom in CSS

No you can't set them as single one for example if you have div{ border-top: 2px solid red; border-right: 2px solid red; border-bottom: 2px solid red; border-left: 2px solid red; } same properties for all fours then you can set them in single line

div{border:2px solid red;}

What are intent-filters in Android?

First change the xml, mark your second activity as DEFAULT

<activity android:name=".AddNewActivity" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Now you can initiate this activity using StartActivity method.

How to compare two files in Notepad++ v6.6.8

2018 10 25. Update.

Notepad++ 7.5.8 does not have plugin manager by default. You have to download plugins manually.

Keep in mind, if you use 64 bit version of Notepad++, you should also use 64 bit version of plugin. I had a similar issue here.

Same Navigation Drawer in different Activities

My answer is just a conceptual one without any source code. It might be useful for some readers like myself to understand.

It depends on your initial approach on how you architecture your app. There are basically two approaches.

  1. You create one activity (base activity) and all the other views and screens will be fragments. That base activity contains the implementation for Drawer and Coordinator Layouts. It is actually my preferred way of doing because having small self-contained fragments will make app development easier and smoother.

  2. If you have started your app development with activities, one for each screen , then you will probably create base activity, and all other activity extends from it. The base activity will contain the code for drawer and coordinator implementation. Any activity that needs drawer implementation can extend from base activity.

I would personally prefer avoiding to use fragments and activities mixed without any organizing. That makes the development more difficult and get you stuck eventually. If you have done it, refactor your code.

How can I generate random number in specific range in Android?

 
Random r = new Random();
int i1 = r.nextInt(80 - 65) + 65;

This gives a random integer between 65 (inclusive) and 80 (exclusive), one of 65,66,...,78,79.

What is a simple C or C++ TCP server and client example?

If the code should be simple, then you probably asking for C example based on traditional BSD sockets. Solutions like boost::asio are imho quite complicated when it comes to short and simple "hello world" example.

To compile examples you mentioned you must make simple fixes, because you are compiling under C++ compiler. I'm referring to following files:
http://www.linuxhowtos.org/data/6/server.c
http://www.linuxhowtos.org/data/6/client.c
from: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/C_C++/socket.htm

  1. Add following includes to both files:

    #include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <unistd.h>

  2. In client.c, change the line:

    if (connect(sockfd,&serv_addr,sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0)
{ ... }

    to:

    if (connect(sockfd,(const sockaddr*)&serv_addr,sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0)
{ ... }

As you can see in C++ an explicit cast is needed.

How do I indent multiple lines at once in Notepad++?

It works fine for my v. 5.4.5 of Notepad++. I just select multiple lines and press TAB.

If you want TAB to be replaced by SPACE than you need to go Settings > Preferences and select Edit Components tab. Next check Replace by spaces check box in Tab Setting section.

Update: In a newer version of Notepad++ this option is in Settings > Preferences > Languaage section.

How do shift operators work in Java?

The typical usage of shifting a variable and assigning back to the variable can be rewritten with shorthand operators <<=, >>=, or >>>=, also known in the spec as Compound Assignment Operators.

For example,

i >>= 2

produces the same result as

i = i >> 2

Primary key or Unique index?

The choice of when to use a surrogate primary key as opposed to a natural key is tricky. Answers such as, always or never, are rarely useful. I find that it depends on the situation.

As an example, I have the following tables:

CREATE TABLE toll_booths (
    id            INTEGER       NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    name          VARCHAR(255)  NOT NULL,
    ...
    UNIQUE(name)
)

CREATE TABLE cars (
    vin           VARCHAR(17)   NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    license_plate VARCHAR(10)   NOT NULL,
    ...
    UNIQUE(license_plate)
)

CREATE TABLE drive_through (
    id            INTEGER       NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    toll_booth_id INTEGER       NOT NULL REFERENCES toll_booths(id),
    vin           VARCHAR(17)   NOT NULL REFERENCES cars(vin),
    at            TIMESTAMP     DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    amount        NUMERIC(10,4) NOT NULL,
    ...
    UNIQUE(toll_booth_id, vin)
)

We have two entity tables (toll_booths and cars) and a transaction table (drive_through). The toll_booth table uses a surrogate key because it has no natural attribute that is not guaranteed to change (the name can easily be changed). The cars table uses a natural primary key because it has a non-changing unique identifier (vin). The drive_through transaction table uses a surrogate key for easy identification, but also has a unique constraint on the attributes that are guaranteed to be unique at the time the record is inserted.

What difference is there between WebClient and HTTPWebRequest classes in .NET?

I know its too longtime to reply but just as an information purpose for future readers:

WebRequest

System.Object
    System.MarshalByRefObject
        System.Net.WebRequest

The WebRequest is an abstract base class. So you actually don't use it directly. You use it through it derived classes - HttpWebRequest and FileWebRequest.

You use Create method of WebRequest to create an instance of WebRequest. GetResponseStream returns data stream.

There are also FileWebRequest and FtpWebRequest classes that inherit from WebRequest. Normally, you would use WebRequest to, well, make a request and convert the return to either HttpWebRequest, FileWebRequest or FtpWebRequest, depend on your request. Below is an example:

Example:

var _request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://stackverflow.com");
var _response = (HttpWebResponse)_request.GetResponse();

WebClient

System.Object
        System.MarshalByRefObject
            System.ComponentModel.Component
                System.Net.WebClient

WebClient provides common operations to sending and receiving data from a resource identified by a URI. Simply, it’s a higher-level abstraction of HttpWebRequest. This ‘common operations’ is what differentiate WebClient from HttpWebRequest, as also shown in the sample below:

Example:

var _client = new WebClient();
var _stackContent = _client.DownloadString("http://stackverflow.com");

There are also DownloadData and DownloadFile operations under WebClient instance. These common operations also simplify code of what we would normally do with HttpWebRequest. Using HttpWebRequest, we have to get the response of our request, instantiate StreamReader to read the response and finally, convert the result to whatever type we expect. With WebClient, we just simply call DownloadData, DownloadFile or DownloadString.

However, keep in mind that WebClient.DownloadString doesn’t consider the encoding of the resource you requesting. So, you would probably end up receiving weird characters if you don’t specify and encoding.

NOTE: Basically "WebClient takes few lines of code as compared to Webrequest"

How to open local files in Swagger-UI

LINUX

I always had issues while trying paths and the spec parameter.

Therefore I went for the online solution that will update automatically the JSON on Swagger without having to reimport.

If you use npm to start your swagger editor you should add a symbolic link of your json file.

cd /path/to/your/swaggerui where index.html is.

ln -s /path/to/your/generated/swagger.json

You may encounter cache problems. The quick way to solve this was to add a token at the end of my url...

window.onload = function() {

var noCache = Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000000) + 1);

// Build a system
const editor = SwaggerEditorBundle({
url: "http://localhost:3001/swagger.json?"+noCache,
  dom_id: '#swagger-editor',
  layout: 'StandaloneLayout',
  presets: [
    SwaggerEditorStandalonePreset
  ]
})

window.editor = editor
}

How can I generate an ObjectId with mongoose?

You can create a new MongoDB ObjectId like this using mongoose:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var newId = new mongoose.mongo.ObjectId('56cb91bdc3464f14678934ca');
// or leave the id string blank to generate an id with a new hex identifier
var newId2 = new mongoose.mongo.ObjectId();

Request is not available in this context

In visual studio 2012, When I published the solution mistakenly with 'debug' option I got this exception. With 'release' option it never occurred. Hope it helps.

Adding Buttons To Google Sheets and Set value to Cells on clicking

It is possible to insert an image in a Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. However, the image should have been hosted publicly over internet. At present, it is not possible to insert private images from Google Drive.

You can use following code to insert an image through script.

  function insertImageOnSpreadsheet() {
  var SPREADSHEET_URL = 'INSERT_SPREADSHEET_URL_HERE';
  // Name of the specific sheet in the spreadsheet.
  var SHEET_NAME = 'INSERT_SHEET_NAME_HERE';

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(SPREADSHEET_URL);
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
      'https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/images/reports.png');
  var binaryData = response.getContent();

  // Insert the image in cell A1.
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(binaryData, 'image/png', 'MyImageName');
  sheet.insertImage(blob, 1, 1);
}

Above example has been copied from this link. Check noogui's reply for details.

In case you need to insert image from Google Drive, please check this link for current updates.

Finding the next available id in MySQL

I don't think you can ever be sure on the next id, because someone might insert a new row just after you asked for the next id. You would at least need a transaction, and if I'm not mistaken you can only get the actual id used after inserting it, at least that is the common way of handling it -- see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html

What methods of ‘clearfix’ can I use?

I have tried all these solutions, a big margin will be added to <html> element automatically when I use the code below:

.clearfix:after {   
    visibility: hidden;   
    display: block;   
    content: ".";   
    clear: both;   
    height: 0;
}

Finally, I solved the margin problem by adding font-size: 0; to the above CSS.

What's the difference between console.dir and console.log?

sudo /etc/init.d/docker start

Is floating point math broken?

No, not broken, but most decimal fractions must be approximated

Summary

Floating point arithmetic is exact, unfortunately, it doesn't match up well with our usual base-10 number representation, so it turns out we are often giving it input that is slightly off from what we wrote.

Even simple numbers like 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 ... 0.24 are not representable exactly as binary fractions. If you count up 0.01, .02, .03 ..., not until you get to 0.25 will you get the first fraction representable in base2. If you tried that using FP, your 0.01 would have been slightly off, so the only way to add 25 of them up to a nice exact 0.25 would have required a long chain of causality involving guard bits and rounding. It's hard to predict so we throw up our hands and say "FP is inexact", but that's not really true.

We constantly give the FP hardware something that seems simple in base 10 but is a repeating fraction in base 2.

How did this happen?

When we write in decimal, every fraction (specifically, every terminating decimal) is a rational number of the form

           a / (2n x 5m)

In binary, we only get the 2n term, that is:

           a / 2n

So in decimal, we can't represent 1/3. Because base 10 includes 2 as a prime factor, every number we can write as a binary fraction also can be written as a base 10 fraction. However, hardly anything we write as a base10 fraction is representable in binary. In the range from 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 ... 0.99, only three numbers can be represented in our FP format: 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75, because they are 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4, all numbers with a prime factor using only the 2n term.

In base10 we can't represent 1/3. But in binary, we can't do 1/10 or 1/3.

So while every binary fraction can be written in decimal, the reverse is not true. And in fact most decimal fractions repeat in binary.

Dealing with it

Developers are usually instructed to do < epsilon comparisons, better advice might be to round to integral values (in the C library: round() and roundf(), i.e., stay in the FP format) and then compare. Rounding to a specific decimal fraction length solves most problems with output.

Also, on real number-crunching problems (the problems that FP was invented for on early, frightfully expensive computers) the physical constants of the universe and all other measurements are only known to a relatively small number of significant figures, so the entire problem space was "inexact" anyway. FP "accuracy" isn't a problem in this kind of application.

The whole issue really arises when people try to use FP for bean counting. It does work for that, but only if you stick to integral values, which kind of defeats the point of using it. This is why we have all those decimal fraction software libraries.

I love the Pizza answer by Chris, because it describes the actual problem, not just the usual handwaving about "inaccuracy". If FP were simply "inaccurate", we could fix that and would have done it decades ago. The reason we haven't is because the FP format is compact and fast and it's the best way to crunch a lot of numbers. Also, it's a legacy from the space age and arms race and early attempts to solve big problems with very slow computers using small memory systems. (Sometimes, individual magnetic cores for 1-bit storage, but that's another story.)

Conclusion

If you are just counting beans at a bank, software solutions that use decimal string representations in the first place work perfectly well. But you can't do quantum chromodynamics or aerodynamics that way.

How can I change cols of textarea in twitter-bootstrap?

I found the following in the site.css generated by VS2013

/* Set width on the form input elements since they're 100% wide by default */
input,
select,
textarea {
    max-width: 280px;
}

To override this behavior in a specific element, add the following...

 style="max-width: none;"

For example:

 <div class="col-md-6">
      <textarea style="max-width: none;" 
                class="form-control" 
                placeholder="a col-md-6 multiline input box" />
 </div>

Parse JSON in C#

Your data class doesn't match the JSON object. Use this instead:

[DataContract]
public class GoogleSearchResults
{
    [DataMember]
    public ResponseData responseData { get; set; }
}

[DataContract]
public class ResponseData
{
    [DataMember]
    public IEnumerable<Results> results { get; set; }
}

[DataContract]
public class Results
{
    [DataMember]
    public string unescapedUrl { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string url { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string visibleUrl { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string cacheUrl { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string title { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string titleNoFormatting { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public string content { get; set; }
}

Also, you don't have to instantiate the class to get its type for deserialization:

public static T Deserialise<T>(string json)
{
    using (var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
    {
        var serialiser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
        return (T)serialiser.ReadObject(ms);
    }
}

ASP.NET MVC JsonResult Date Format

There are quite a bit of answers to handle it client side, but you can change the output server side if you desired.

There are a few ways to approach this, I'll start with the basics. You'll have to subclass the JsonResult class and override the ExecuteResult method. From there you can take a few different approaches to change the serialization.

Approach 1: The default implementation uses the JsonScriptSerializer. If you take a look at the documentation, you can use the RegisterConverters method to add custom JavaScriptConverters. There are a few problems with this though: The JavaScriptConverter serializes to a dictionary, that is it takes an object and serializes to a Json dictionary. In order to make the object serialize to a string it requires a bit of hackery, see post. This particular hack will also escape the string.

public class CustomJsonResult : JsonResult
{
    private const string _dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

    public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
    {
        if (context == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
        }

        HttpResponseBase response = context.HttpContext.Response;

        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ContentType))
        {
            response.ContentType = ContentType;
        }
        else
        {
            response.ContentType = "application/json";
        }
        if (ContentEncoding != null)
        {
            response.ContentEncoding = ContentEncoding;
        }
        if (Data != null)
        {
            JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

            // Use your custom JavaScriptConverter subclass here.
            serializer.RegisterConverters(new JavascriptConverter[] { new CustomConverter });

            response.Write(serializer.Serialize(Data));
        }
    }
}

Approach 2 (recommended): The second approach is to start with the overridden JsonResult and go with another Json serializer, in my case the Json.NET serializer. This doesn't require the hackery of approach 1. Here is my implementation of the JsonResult subclass:

public class CustomJsonResult : JsonResult
{
    private const string _dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";

    public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
    {
        if (context == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("context");
        }

        HttpResponseBase response = context.HttpContext.Response;

        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ContentType))
        {
            response.ContentType = ContentType;
        }
        else
        {
            response.ContentType = "application/json";
        }
        if (ContentEncoding != null)
        {
            response.ContentEncoding = ContentEncoding;
        }
        if (Data != null)
        {
            // Using Json.NET serializer
            var isoConvert = new IsoDateTimeConverter();
            isoConvert.DateTimeFormat = _dateFormat;
            response.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Data, isoConvert));
        }
    }
}

Usage Example: 

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index() {
    return new CustomJsonResult { Data = new { users=db.Users.ToList(); } };
}

How to get last month/year in java?

You need to be aware that month is zero based so when you do the getMonth you will need to add 1. In the example below we have to add 1 to Januaray as 1 and not 0 

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.set(2011, 2, 1);
    c.add(Calendar.MONTH, -1);
    int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
    assertEquals(1, month);

SQL: Return "true" if list of records exists?

If you have the IDs stored in a temp table (which can be done by some C# function or simple SQL) then the problem becomes easy and doable in SQL.

select "all exist"
where (select case  when count(distinct t.id) = (select count(distinct id) from #products) then "true" else "false" end
    from ProductTable t, #products p
    where t.id = p.id) = "true"

This will return "all exists" when all the products in #products exist in the target table (ProductTable) and will not return a row if the above is not true.

If you are not willing to write to a temp table, then you need to feed in some parameter for the number of products you are attempting to find, and replace the temp table with an 'in'; clause so the subquery looks like this:

SELECT "All Exist"
WHERE(
        SELECT case when count(distinct t.id) = @ProductCount then "true" else "false" 
        FROM ProductTable t 
        WHERE t.id in (1,100,10,20) -- example IDs
) = "true"

How do I get the coordinate position after using jQuery drag and drop?

I was need to save the start position and the end position. this work to me:

    $('.object').draggable({
        stop: function(ev, ui){
            var position = ui.position;
            var originalPosition = ui.originalPosition;
        }
    });

How to add a JAR in NetBeans

You want to add libraries to your project and in doing so you have two options as you yourself identified:

Compile-time libraries are libraries which is needed to compile your application. They are not included when your application is assembled (e.g., into a war-file). Libraries of this kind must be provided by the container running your project.

This is useful in situation when you want to vary API and implementation, or when the library is supplied by the container (which is typically the case with javax.servlet which is required to compile but provided by the application server, e.g., Apache Tomcat).

Run-time libraries are libraries which is needed both for compilation and when running your project. This is probably what you want in most cases. If for instance your project is packaged into a war/ear, then these libraries will be included in the package.

As for the other alernatives you have either global libraries using Library Manageror jdk libraries. The latter is simply your regular java libraries, while the former is just a way for your to store a set of libraries under a common name. For all your future projects, instead of manually assigning the libraries you can simply select to import them from your Library Manager.

'dispatch' is not a function when argument to mapToDispatchToProps() in Redux

React-redux 'connect' function accepts two arguments first is mapStateToProps and second is mapDispatchToProps check below ex.

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Index); `

If we don't want retrieve state from redux then we set null instead of mapStateToProps.

export default connect(null, mapDispatchToProps)(Index);

How to find count of Null and Nan values for each column in a PySpark dataframe efficiently?

To make sure it does not fail for string, date and timestamp columns:

import pyspark.sql.functions as F
def count_missings(spark_df,sort=True):
    """
    Counts number of nulls and nans in each column
    """
    df = spark_df.select([F.count(F.when(F.isnan(c) | F.isnull(c), c)).alias(c) for (c,c_type) in spark_df.dtypes if c_type not in ('timestamp', 'string', 'date')]).toPandas()

    if len(df) == 0:
        print("There are no any missing values!")
        return None

    if sort:
        return df.rename(index={0: 'count'}).T.sort_values("count",ascending=False)

    return df

If you want to see the columns sorted based on the number of nans and nulls in descending:

count_missings(spark_df)

# | Col_A | 10 |
# | Col_C | 2  |
# | Col_B | 1  |

If you don't want ordering and see them as a single row:

count_missings(spark_df, False)
# | Col_A | Col_B | Col_C |
# |  10   |   1   |   2   |

Change limit for "Mysql Row size too large"

I also encountered the same problem. I solve the problem by executing the following sql:

ALTER ${table} ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED;

But, I think u should know about the Row Storage.
There are two kinds of columns: variable-length column(such as VARCHAR, VARBINARY, and BLOB and TEXT types) and fixed-length column. They are stored in different types of pages.

Variable-length columns are an exception to this rule. Columns such as BLOB and VARCHAR that are too long to fit on a B-tree page are stored on separately allocated disk pages called overflow pages. We call such columns off-page columns. The values of these columns are stored in singly-linked lists of overflow pages, and each such column has its own list of one or more overflow pages. In some cases, all or a prefix of the long column value is stored in the B-tree, to avoid wasting storage and eliminating the need to read a separate page.

and when purpose of setting ROW_FORMAT is

When a table is created with ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC or ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED, InnoDB can store long variable-length column values (for VARCHAR, VARBINARY, and BLOB and TEXT types) fully off-page, with the clustered index record containing only a 20-byte pointer to the overflow page.

Wanna know more about DYNAMIC and COMPRESSED Row Formats

Setting the zoom level for a MKMapView

Based on quentinadam's answer

Swift 5.1

// size refers to the width/height of your tile images, by default is 256.0
// Seems to get better results using round()
// frame.width is the width of the MKMapView

let zoom = round(log2(360 * Double(frame.width) / size / region.span.longitudeDelta))

display html page with node.js

but it ONLY shows the index.html file and NOTHING attached to it, so no images, no effects or anything that the html file should display.

That's because in your program that's the only thing that you return to the browser regardless of what the request looks like.

You can take a look at a more complete example that will return the correct files for the most common web pages (HTML, JPG, CSS, JS) in here https://gist.github.com/hectorcorrea/2573391

Also, take a look at this blog post that I wrote on how to get started with node. I think it might clarify a few things for you: http://hectorcorrea.com/blog/introduction-to-node-js

error: invalid type argument of ‘unary *’ (have ‘int’)

I have reformatted your code.

The error was situated in this line :

printf("%d", (**c));

To fix it, change to :

printf("%d", (*c));

The * retrieves the value from an address. The ** retrieves the value (an address in this case) of an other value from an address.

In addition, the () was optional.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int b = 10; 
    int *a = NULL;
    int *c = NULL;

    a = &b;
    c = &a;

    printf("%d", *c);

    return 0;
}

EDIT :

The line :

c = &a;

must be replaced by :

c = a;

It means that the value of the pointer 'c' equals the value of the pointer 'a'. So, 'c' and 'a' points to the same address ('b'). The output is :

10

EDIT 2:

If you want to use a double * :

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int b = 10; 
    int *a = NULL;
    int **c = NULL;

    a = &b;
    c = &a;

    printf("%d", **c);

    return 0;
}

Output:

10

Mocking a function to raise an Exception to test an except block

Your mock is raising the exception just fine, but the error.resp.status value is missing. Rather than use return_value, just tell Mock that status is an attribute:

barMock.side_effect = HttpError(mock.Mock(status=404), 'not found')

Additional keyword arguments to Mock() are set as attributes on the resulting object.

I put your foo and bar definitions in a my_tests module, added in the HttpError class so I could use it too, and your test then can be ran to success:

>>> from my_tests import foo, HttpError
>>> import mock
>>> with mock.patch('my_tests.bar') as barMock:
...     barMock.side_effect = HttpError(mock.Mock(status=404), 'not found')
...     result = my_test.foo()
... 
404 - 
>>> result is None
True

You can even see the print '404 - %s' % error.message line run, but I think you wanted to use error.content there instead; that's the attribute HttpError() sets from the second argument, at any rate.

Is it possible to install Xcode 10.2 on High Sierra (10.13.6)?

None of the above helped for me.

How to implement HorizontalScrollView like Gallery?

Here is a good tutorial with code. Let me know if it works for you! This is also a good tutorial.

EDIT

In This example, all you need to do is add this line:

gallery.setSelection(1);

after setting the adapter to gallery object, that is this line:

gallery.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

UPDATE1

Alright, I got your problem. This open source library is your solution. I also have used it for one of my projects. Hope this will solve your problem finally.

UPDATE2:

I would suggest you to go through this tutorial. You might get idea. I think I got your problem, you want the horizontal scrollview with snap. Try to search with that keyword on google or out here, you might get your solution.

milliseconds to days

For simple cases like this, TimeUnit should be used. TimeUnit usage is a bit more explicit about what is being represented and is also much easier to read and write when compared to doing all of the arithmetic calculations explicitly. For example, to calculate the number days from milliseconds, the following statement would work:

    long days = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(milliseconds);

For cases more advanced, where more finely grained durations need to be represented in the context of working with time, an all encompassing and modern date/time API should be used. For JDK8+, java.time is now included (here are the tutorials and javadocs). For earlier versions of Java joda-time is a solid alternative.

How to convert an array of key-value tuples into an object

In my case, all other solutions didn't work, but this one did:

obj = {...arr}

my arr is in a form: [name: "the name", email: "[email protected]"]

Check if object exists in JavaScript

 
if (maybeObject !== undefined)
  alert("Got here!");

Best way to store date/time in mongodb

The best way is to store native JavaScript Date objects, which map onto BSON native Date objects.

> db.test.insert({date: ISODate()})
> db.test.insert({date: new Date()})
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "date" : ISODate("2014-02-10T10:50:42.389Z") }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "date" : ISODate("2014-02-10T10:50:57.240Z") }

The native type supports a whole range of useful methods out of the box, which you can use in your map-reduce jobs, for example.

If you need to, you can easily convert Date objects to and from Unix timestamps1), using the getTime() method and Date(milliseconds) constructor, respectively.

1) Strictly speaking, the Unix timestamp is measured in seconds. The JavaScript Date object measures in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Update some specific field of an entity in android Room

I want to know how can I update some field(not all) like method 1 where id = 1

Use @Query, as you did in Method 2.

is too long query in my case because I have many field in my entity

Then have smaller entities. Or, do not update fields individually, but instead have more coarse-grained interactions with the database.

IOW, there is nothing in Room itself that will do what you seek.

UPDATE 2020-09-15: Room now has partial entity support, which can help with this scenario. See this answer for more.

How to get the height of a body element

Simply use

$(document).height() // - $('body').offset().top

and / or

$(window).height()

instead of $('body').height();

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

Quick fix for CGRectMake , CGPointMake, CGSizeMake in Swift3 & iOS10

Add these extensions : 

extension CGRect{
    init(_ x:CGFloat,_ y:CGFloat,_ width:CGFloat,_ height:CGFloat) {
        self.init(x:x,y:y,width:width,height:height)
    }

}
extension CGSize{
    init(_ width:CGFloat,_ height:CGFloat) {
        self.init(width:width,height:height)
    }
}
extension CGPoint{
    init(_ x:CGFloat,_ y:CGFloat) {
        self.init(x:x,y:y)
    }
}

Then go to "Find and Replace in Workspace" Find CGRectMake , CGPointMake, CGSizeMake and Replace them with CGRect , CGPoint, CGSize

These steps might save all the time as Xcode right now doesn't give us quick conversion from Swift 2+ to Swift 3

Why does Oracle not find oci.dll?

I notice that recent Oracle client installers change file permissions.

I had Oracle 12.0.1 32 bit client installed for a year. I recently installed Oracle 12.0.1 64 bit client. The Oracle install change ALL file permissions in the 32 bit folders.

My application suddenly failed to run.

I used PROCMON.EXE (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/) and noticed that permission was denied opening OCI.DLL

I changed the permissions for everything in the Oracle client folders and application works as expected.

How can I add additional PHP versions to MAMP

MAMP takes only two highest versions of the PHP in the following folder /Application/MAMP/bin/php

As you can see here highest versions are 7.0.10 and 5.6.25 MAMP php Versions 7.0.10 and 5.6.25

Now 7.0.10 version is removed and as you can see highest two versions are 5.6.25 and 5.5.38 as shown in preferencesphp versions 5.6.25 and 5.5.38

What is the difference between explicit and implicit cursors in Oracle?

In PL/SQL, A cursor is a pointer to this context area. It contains all the information needed for processing the statement.

Implicit Cursors: Implicit cursors are automatically created by Oracle whenever an SQL statement is executed, when there is no explicit cursor for the statement. Programmers cannot control the implicit cursors and the information in it.

Explicit Cursors: Explicit cursors are programmer-defined cursors for gaining more control over the context area. An explicit cursor should be defined in the declaration section of the PL/SQL Block. It is created on a SELECT Statement which returns more than one row.

The syntax for creating an explicit cursor is:

CURSOR cursor_name IS select_statement;

Center a position:fixed element

You basically need to set top and left to 50% to center the left-top corner of the div. You also need to set the margin-top and margin-left to the negative half of the div's height and width to shift the center towards the middle of the div.

Thus, provided a <!DOCTYPE html> (standards mode), this should do:

position: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -100px; /* Negative half of height. */
margin-left: -250px; /* Negative half of width. */

Or, if you don't care about centering vertically and old browsers such as IE6/7, then you can instead also add left: 0 and right: 0 to the element having a margin-left and margin-right of auto, so that the fixed positioned element having a fixed width knows where its left and right offsets start. In your case thus:

position: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
margin: 5% auto; /* Will not center vertically and won't work in IE6/7. */
left: 0;
right: 0;

Again, this works only in IE8+ if you care about IE, and this centers only horizontally not vertically.

Change Image of ImageView programmatically in Android

Short answer

Just copy an image into your res/drawable folder and use

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.my_image);

Details

The variety of answers can cause a little confusion. We have

The methods with Background in their name all belong to the View class, not to ImageView specifically. But since ImageView inherits from View you can use them, too. The methods with Image in their name belong specifically to ImageView.

The View methods all do the same thing as each other (though setBackgroundDrawable() is deprecated), so we will just focus on setBackgroundResource(). Similarly, the ImageView methods all do the same thing, so we will just focus on setImageResource(). The only difference between the methods is they type of parameter you pass in.

Setup

Here is a FrameLayout that contains an ImageView. The ImageView initially doesn't have any image in it. (I only added the FrameLayout so that I could put a border around it. That way you can see the edge of the ImageView.)

enter image description here

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/frameLayout"
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_height="250dp"
        android:background="@drawable/border"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    </FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Below we will compare the different methods.

setImageResource()

If you use ImageView's setImageResource(), then the image keeps its aspect ratio and is resized to fit. Here are two different image examples.

  • imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.sky);
  • imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.balloons);

enter image description here

setBackgroundResource()

Using View's setBackgroundResource(), on the other hand, causes the image resource to be stretched to fill the view.

  • imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sky);
  • imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.balloons);

enter image description here

Both

The View's background image and the ImageView's image are drawn separately, so you can set them both.

imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sky);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.balloons);

enter image description here

Smooth scrolling with just pure css

You can do this with pure CSS but you will need to hard code the offset scroll amounts, which may not be ideal should you be changing page content- or should dimensions of your content change on say window resize.

You're likely best placed to use e.g. jQuery, specifically:

$('html, body').stop().animate({
   scrollTop: element.offset().top
}, 1000);

A complete implementation may be:

$('#up, #down').on('click', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var target= $(this).get(0).id == 'up' ? $('#down') : $('#up');
    $('html, body').stop().animate({
       scrollTop: target.offset().top
    }, 1000);
});

Where element is the target element to scroll to and 1000 is the delay in ms before completion.

Demo Fiddle

The benefit being, no matter what changes to your content dimensions, the function will not need to be altered.

Measuring text height to be drawn on Canvas ( Android )

If anyone still has problem, this is my code.

I have a custom view which is square (width = height) and I want to assign a character to it. onDraw() shows how to get height of character, although I'm not using it. Character will be displayed in the middle of view.

public class SideBarPointer extends View {

    private static final String TAG = "SideBarPointer";

    private Context context;
    private String label = "";
    private int width;
    private int height;

    public SideBarPointer(Context context) {
        super(context);
        this.context = context;
        init();
    }

    public SideBarPointer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        this.context = context;
        init();
    }

    public SideBarPointer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        this.context = context;
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
//        setBackgroundColor(0x64FF0000);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);

        height = this.getMeasuredHeight();
        width = this.getMeasuredWidth();

        setMeasuredDimension(width, width);
    }

    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        float mDensity = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
        float mScaledDensity = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().scaledDensity;

        Paint previewPaint = new Paint();
        previewPaint.setColor(0x0C2727);
        previewPaint.setAlpha(200);
        previewPaint.setAntiAlias(true);

        Paint previewTextPaint = new Paint();
        previewTextPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        previewTextPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
        previewTextPaint.setTextSize(90 * mScaledDensity);
        previewTextPaint.setShadowLayer(5, 1, 2, Color.argb(255, 87, 87, 87));

        float previewTextWidth = previewTextPaint.measureText(label);
//        float previewTextHeight = previewTextPaint.descent() - previewTextPaint.ascent();
        RectF previewRect = new RectF(0, 0, width, width);

        canvas.drawRoundRect(previewRect, 5 * mDensity, 5 * mDensity, previewPaint);
        canvas.drawText(label, (width - previewTextWidth)/2, previewRect.top - previewTextPaint.ascent(), previewTextPaint);

        super.onDraw(canvas);
    }

    public void setLabel(String label) {
        this.label = label;
        Log.e(TAG, "Label: " + label);

        this.invalidate();
    }
}

How to round up the result of integer division?

In need of an extension method: 

    public static int DivideUp(this int dividend, int divisor)
    {
        return (dividend + (divisor - 1)) / divisor;
    }

No checks here (overflow, DivideByZero, etc), feel free to add if you like. By the way, for those worried about method invocation overhead, simple functions like this might be inlined by the compiler anyways, so I don't think that's where to be concerned. Cheers.

P.S. you might find it useful to be aware of this as well (it gets the remainder): 

    int remainder; 
    int result = Math.DivRem(dividend, divisor, out remainder);

Label axes on Seaborn Barplot

Seaborn's barplot returns an axis-object (not a figure). This means you can do the following:

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fake = pd.DataFrame({'cat': ['red', 'green', 'blue'], 'val': [1, 2, 3]})
ax = sns.barplot(x = 'val', y = 'cat', 
              data = fake, 
              color = 'black')
ax.set(xlabel='common xlabel', ylabel='common ylabel')
plt.show()

"Unable to locate tools.jar" when running ant

There are two directories that looks like JDK.

  C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\

This may be due to both 64 bit and 32 bit JDK installed? What ever may be the case, the java.exe seen by ant.bat should from the JDK. If the JRE's java.exe comes first in the path, that will be used to guess the JDK location.

Put 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin' or 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02' as the first argument in the path.

Further steps:

You can take output of ant -diagnostics and look for interesting keys. (assuming Sun/Oracle JDK). 

 java.class.path 
 java.library.path
 sun.boot.library.path

(in my case tools.jar appears in java.class.path)

Extract the last substring from a cell

 
Right(A1, Len(A1)-Find("(asterisk)",Substitute(A1, "(space)","(asterisk)",Len(A1)-Len(Substitute(A1,"(space)", "(no space)")))))

Try this. Hope it works.

JavaScript loop through json array?

It is working. I just added square brackets to JSON data. The data is:

var data = [
    { 
        "id": "1",
        "msg": "hi", 
        "tid": "2013-05-05 23:35", 
        "fromWho": "[email protected]" 
    }, 
    { 
        "id": "2", 
        "msg": "there", 
        "tid": "2013-05-05 23:45", 
        "fromWho": "[email protected]"
    }
]

And the loop is:

for (var key in data) {
   if (data.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
         alert(data[key].id);
   }
}

True/False vs 0/1 in MySQL

Some "front ends", with the "Use Booleans" option enabled, will treat all TINYINT(1) columns as Boolean, and vice versa.

This allows you to, in the application, use TRUE and FALSE rather than 1 and 0.

This doesn't affect the database at all, since it's implemented in the application.

There is not really a BOOLEAN type in MySQL. BOOLEAN is just a synonym for TINYINT(1), and TRUE and FALSE are synonyms for 1 and 0.

If the conversion is done in the compiler, there will be no difference in performance in the application. Otherwise, the difference still won't be noticeable.

You should use whichever method allows you to code more efficiently, though not using the feature may reduce dependency on that particular "front end" vendor.

node.js: cannot find module 'request'

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: require.

You have installed "npm", you can run as normal the script to a "localhost" "127.0.0.1".

When you use the http.clientRequest() with "options" in a "npm" you need to install "RequireJS" inside of the module.

A module is any file or directory in the node_modules directory that can be loaded by the Node. Install "RequiereJS" for to make work the http.clientRequest(options).

How to assign text size in sp value using java code

When the accepted answer doesn't work (for example when dealing with Paint) you can use: 

float spTextSize = 12;
float textSize = spTextSize * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().scaledDensity;
textPaint.setTextSize(textSize);

Undefined reference to 'vtable for xxx'

The first set of errors, for the missing vtable, are caused because you do not implement takeaway::textualGame(); instead you implement a non-member function, textualGame(). I think that adding the missing takeaway:: will fix that.

The cause of the last error is that you're calling a virtual function, initialData(), from the constructor of gameCore. At this stage, virtual functions are dispatched according to the type currently being constructed (gameCore), not the most derived class (takeaway). This particular function is pure virtual, and so calling it here gives undefined behaviour.

Two possible solutions:

  • Move the initialisation code for gameCore out of the constructor and into a separate initialisation function, which must be called after the object is fully constructed; or
  • Separate gameCore into two classes: an abstract interface to be implemented by takeaway, and a concrete class containing the state. Construct takeaway first, and then pass it (via a reference to the interface class) to the constructor of the concrete class.

I would recommend the second, as it is a move towards smaller classes and looser coupling, and it will be harder to use the classes incorrectly. The first is more error-prone, as there is no way be sure that the initialisation function is called correctly.

One final point: the destructor of a base class should usually either be virtual (to allow polymorphic deletion) or protected (to prevent invalid polymorphic deletion).

Convert DataSet to List

Fill the dataset with data from, say a stored proc command

DbDataAdapter adapter = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(cmd.Connection).CreateDataAdapter();
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(ds);

Get The Schema, 

string s = ds.GetXmlSchema();

save it to a file say: datasetSchema.xsd. Generate the C# classes for the Schema: (at the VS Command Prompt)

xsd datasetSchema.xsd /c

Now, when you need to convert the DataSet data to classes you can deserialize (the default name given to the generated root class is NewDataSet):

public static T Create<T>(string xml)
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        T t = (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader);

        reader.Close();
        return t;
    }
}

var xml = ds.GetXml();
var dataSetObjects = Create<NewDataSet>(xml);

How do I rewrite URLs in a proxy response in NGINX

You may also need the following directive to be set before the first "sub_filter" for backend-servers with data compression:

proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";

Otherwise it may not work. For your example it will look like:

location /admin/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
    proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
    sub_filter "http://your_server/" "http://your_server/admin/";
    sub_filter_once off;
}

Get index of element as child relative to parent

Take a look at this example. 

$("#wizard li").click(function () {
    alert($(this).index()); // alert index of li relative to ul parent
});

AngularJs: How to check for changes in file input fields?

The simplest Angular jqLite version.

JS:

.directive('cOnChange', function() {
    'use strict';

    return {
        restrict: "A",
        scope : {
            cOnChange: '&'
        },
        link: function (scope, element) {
            element.on('change', function () {
                scope.cOnChange();
        });
        }
    };
});

HTML:

<input type="file" data-c-on-change="your.functionName()">

Better way to check if a Path is a File or a Directory?

Maybe for UWP C#

public static async Task<IStorageItem> AsIStorageItemAsync(this string iStorageItemPath)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(iStorageItemPath)) return null;
        IStorageItem storageItem = null;
        try
        {
            storageItem = await StorageFolder.GetFolderFromPathAsync(iStorageItemPath);
            if (storageItem != null) return storageItem;
        } catch { }
        try
        {
            storageItem = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(iStorageItemPath);
            if (storageItem != null) return storageItem;
        } catch { }
        return storageItem;
    }

What's a clean way to stop mongod on Mac OS X?

If you installed mongodb with homebrew, there's an easier way:

List mongo job with launchctl:

launchctl list | grep mongo

Stop mongo job:

launchctl stop <job label>

(For me this is launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.mongodb)

Start mongo job:

launchctl start <job label>

Getting absolute URLs using ASP.NET Core

If you just want to convert a relative path with optional parameters I created an extension method for IHttpContextAccessor

public static string AbsoluteUrl(this IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor, string relativeUrl, object parameters = null)
{
    var request = httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request;

    var url = new Uri(new Uri($"{request.Scheme}://{request.Host.Value}"), relativeUrl).ToString();

    if (parameters != null)
    {
        url = Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebUtilities.QueryHelpers.AddQueryString(url, ToDictionary(parameters));
    }

    return url;
}


private static Dictionary<string, string> ToDictionary(object obj)
{
    var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj);
    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(json);
}

You can then call the method from your service/view using the injected IHttpContextAccessor 

var callbackUrl = _httpContextAccessor.AbsoluteUrl("/Identity/Account/ConfirmEmail", new { userId = applicationUser.Id, code });

Difference between string and text in rails?

String if the size is fixed and small and text if it is variable and big. This is kind of important because text is way bigger than strings. It contains a lot more kilobytes.

So for small fields always use string(varchar). Fields like. first_name, login, email, subject (of a article or post) and example of texts: content/body of a post or article. fields for paragraphs etc

String size 1 to 255 (default = 255)

Text size 1 to 4294967296 (default = 65536)2

Convert hex color value ( #ffffff ) to integer value

Answer is really simple guys, in android if you want to convert hex color in to int, just use android Color class, example shown as below

this is for light gray color

Color.parseColor("#a8a8a8");

Thats it and you will get your result.

The cast to value type 'Int32' failed because the materialized value is null

You are using aggregate function which not getting the items to perform action , you must verify linq query is giving some result as below:

var maxOrderLevel =sdv.Any()? sdv.Max(s => s.nOrderLevel):0

const vs constexpr on variables

I believe there is a difference. Let's rename them so that we can talk about them more easily:

const     double PI1 = 3.141592653589793;
constexpr double PI2 = 3.141592653589793;

Both PI1 and PI2 are constant, meaning you can not modify them. However only PI2 is a compile-time constant. It shall be initialized at compile time. PI1 may be initialized at compile time or run time. Furthermore, only PI2 can be used in a context that requires a compile-time constant. For example:

constexpr double PI3 = PI1;  // error

but:

constexpr double PI3 = PI2;  // ok

and:

static_assert(PI1 == 3.141592653589793, "");  // error

but:

static_assert(PI2 == 3.141592653589793, "");  // ok

As to which you should use? Use whichever meets your needs. Do you want to ensure that you have a compile time constant that can be used in contexts where a compile-time constant is required? Do you want to be able to initialize it with a computation done at run time? Etc.

Phone: numeric keyboard for text input

I have found that, at least for "passcode"-like fields, doing something like <input type="tel" /> ends up producing the most authentic number-oriented field and it also has the benefit of no autoformatting. For example, in a mobile application I developed for Hilton recently, I ended up going with this:

iPhone Web Application Display with an Input Tag Having a Type of TEL which Produces a very Decent Numeric Keyboard as Opposed to Type Number which is Autoformatted and Has a Somewhat Less Intuitive Input Configuration

... and my client was very impressed.

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
<form>_x000D_
  <input type="tel" />_x000D_
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How do you change the value inside of a textfield flutter?

Here is a full example where the parent widget controls the children widget. The parent widget updates the children widgets (Text and TextField) with a counter.

To update the Text widget, all you do is pass in the String parameter. To update the TextField widget, you need to pass in a controller, and set the text in the controller.

main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Demo',
      home: Home(),
    );
  }
}

class Home extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text('Update Text and TextField demo'),
        ),
        body: ParentWidget());
  }
}

class ParentWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ParentWidgetState createState() => _ParentWidgetState();
}

class _ParentWidgetState extends State<ParentWidget> {
  int _counter = 0;
  String _text = 'no taps yet';
  var _controller = TextEditingController(text: 'initial value');

  void _handleTap() {
    setState(() {
      _counter = _counter + 1;
      _text = 'number of taps: ' + _counter.toString();
      _controller.text  = 'number of taps: ' + _counter.toString();
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: Column(children: <Widget>[
        RaisedButton(
          onPressed: _handleTap,
          child: const Text('Tap me', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20)),
        ),
        Text('$_text'),
        TextField(controller: _controller,),
      ]),
    );
  }
}

Use "ENTER" key on softkeyboard instead of clicking button

Most updated way to achieve this is:

Add this to your EditText in XML:

android:imeOptions="actionSearch"

Then in your Activity/Fragment:

EditText.setOnEditorActionListener { _, actionId, _ ->
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) {
        // Do what you want here
        return@setOnEditorActionListener true
    }
    return@setOnEditorActionListener false
}

How to determine whether a year is a leap year?

If you don't want to import calendar and apply .isleap method you can try this:

def isleapyear(year):
    if year % 4 == 0 and (year % 100 != 0 or year % 400 == 0):
        return True
    return False

How can I set the background color of <option> in a <select> element?

I had this problem too. I found setting the appearance to none helped.

.class {
    appearance:none;
    -moz-appearance:none;
    -webkit-appearance:none;

    background-color: red;
}

Insert picture/table in R Markdown

Update: since the answer from @r2evans, it is much easier to insert images into R Markdown and control the size of the image.

Images

The bookdown book does a great job of explaining that the best way to include images is by using include_graphics(). For example, a full width image can be printed with a caption below:

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="A caption", out.width = '100%'}
knitr::include_graphics("temp.png")
```

The reason this method is better than the pandoc approach ![your image](path/to/image):

  • It automatically changes the command based on the output format (HTML/PDF/Word)
  • The same syntax can be used to the size of the plot (fig.width), the output width in the report (out.width), add captions (fig.cap) etc.
  • It uses the best graphical devices for the output. This means PDF images remain high resolution.

Tables

knitr::kable() is the best way to include tables in an R Markdown report as explained fully here. Again, this function is intelligent in automatically selecting the correct formatting for the output selected.

```{r table}
knitr::kable(mtcars[1:5,, 1:5], caption = "A table caption")
```

If you want to make your own simple tables in R Markdown and are using R Studio, you can check out the insert_table package. It provides a tidy graphical interface for making tables.

Achieving custom styling of the table column width is beyond the scope of knitr, but the kableExtra package has been written to help achieve this: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/kableExtra/index.html

Style Tips

The R Markdown cheat sheet is still the best place to learn about most the basic syntax you can use.

If you are looking for potential extensions to the formatting, the bookdown package is also worth exploring. It provides the ability to cross-reference, create special headers and more: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/markdown-extensions-by-bookdown.html

SQL - HAVING vs. WHERE

WHERE clause introduces a condition on individual rows; HAVING clause introduces a condition on aggregations, i.e. results of selection where a single result, such as count, average, min, max, or sum, has been produced from multiple rows. Your query calls for a second kind of condition (i.e. a condition on an aggregation) hence HAVING works correctly.

As a rule of thumb, use WHERE before GROUP BY and HAVING after GROUP BY. It is a rather primitive rule, but it is useful in more than 90% of the cases.

While you're at it, you may want to re-write your query using ANSI version of the join:

SELECT  L.LectID, Fname, Lname
FROM Lecturers L
JOIN Lecturers_Specialization S ON L.LectID=S.LectID
GROUP BY L.LectID, Fname, Lname
HAVING COUNT(S.Expertise)>=ALL
(SELECT COUNT(Expertise) FROM Lecturers_Specialization GROUP BY LectID)

This would eliminate WHERE that was used as a theta join condition.

Navigation Drawer (Google+ vs. YouTube)

Just recently I forked a current Github project called "RibbonMenu" and edited it to fit my needs:

https://github.com/jaredsburrows/RibbonMenu

What's the Purpose

  • Ease of Access: Allow easy access to a menu that slides in and out
  • Ease of Implementation: Update the same screen using minimal amount of code
  • Independency: Does not require support libraries such as ActionBarSherlock
  • Customization: Easy to change colors and menus

What's New

  • Changed the sliding animation to match Facebook and Google+ apps
  • Added standard ActionBar (you can chose to use ActionBarSherlock)
  • Used menuitem to open the Menu
  • Added ability to update ListView on main Activity
  • Added 2 ListViews to the Menu, similiar to Facebook and Google+ apps
  • Added a AutoCompleteTextView and a Button as well to show examples of implemenation
  • Added method to allow users to hit the 'back button' to hide the menu when it is open
  • Allows users to interact with background(main ListView) and the menu at the same time unlike the Facebook and Google+ apps!

ActionBar with Menu out

How to update UI from another thread running in another class

Everything that interacts with the UI must be called in the UI thread (unless it is a frozen object). To do that, you can use the dispatcher.

var disp = /* Get the UI dispatcher, each WPF object has a dispatcher which you can query*/
disp.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal,
        (Action)(() => /*Do your UI Stuff here*/));

I use BeginInvoke here, usually a backgroundworker doesn't need to wait that the UI updates. If you want to wait, you can use Invoke. But you should be careful not to call BeginInvoke to fast to often, this can get really nasty.

By the way, The BackgroundWorker class helps with this kind of taks. It allows Reporting changes, like a percentage and dispatches this automatically from the Background thread into the ui thread. For the most thread <> update ui tasks the BackgroundWorker is a great tool.

Determine the line of code that causes a segmentation fault?

You could also use a core dump and then examine it with gdb. To get useful information you also need to compile with the -g flag.

Whenever you get the message:

 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

a core file is written into your current directory. And you can examine it with the command

 gdb your_program core_file

The file contains the state of the memory when the program crashed. A core dump can be useful during the deployment of your software.

Make sure your system doesn't set the core dump file size to zero. You can set it to unlimited with:

ulimit -c unlimited

Careful though! that core dumps can become huge.

Find out where MySQL is installed on Mac OS X

To check MySQL version of MAMP , use the following command in Terminal: 

/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql --version

Assume you have started MAMP .

Example output:

./mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.44, for apple-darwin8.11.1 (i386) using  EditLine wrapper

UPDATE: Moreover, if you want to find where does mysql installed in system, use the following command:

type -a mysql

type -a is an equivalent of tclsh built-in command where in OS X bash shell. If MySQL is found, it will show :

mysql is /usr/bin/mysql

If not found, it will show:

-bash: type: mysql: not found

By default , MySQL is not installed in Mac OS X.

Sidenote: For XAMPP, the command should be:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql --version

Why fragments, and when to use fragments instead of activities?

Fragment can be thought of as non-root components in a composite tree of ui elements while activities sit at the top in the forest of composites(ui trees).

  • A rule of thumb on when not to use Fragment is when as a child the fragment has a conflicting attribute, e.g., it may be immersive or may be using a different style all together or has some other architectural / logical difference and doesn't fit in the existing tree homogeneously.

  • A rule of thumb on when to prefer Activity over Fragment is when the task (or set of coherent task) is fully independent and reusable and does some heavy weight lifting and should not be burdened further to conform to another parent-child composite (SRP violation, second responsibility would be to conform to the composite). For e.g., a MediaCaptureActivity that captures audio, video, photos etc and allows for edits, noise removal, annotations on photos etc and so on. This activity/module may have child fragments that do more granular work and conform to a common display theme.

Programmatically select a row in JTable

It is an old post, but I came across this recently

Selecting a specific interval

As @aleroot already mentioned, by using 

table.setRowSelectionInterval(index0, index1);

You can specify an interval, which should be selected.

Adding an interval to the existing selection

You can also keep the current selection, and simply add additional rows by using this here

table.getSelectionModel().addSelectionInterval(index0, index1);

This line of code additionally selects the specified interval. It doesn't matter if that interval already is selected, of parts of it are selected.

CSS - Expand float child DIV height to parent's height

I have recently done this on my website using jQuery. The code calculates the height of the tallest div and sets the other divs to the same height. Here's the technique:

http://www.broken-links.com/2009/01/20/very-quick-equal-height-columns-in-jquery/

I don't believe height:100% will work, so if you don't explicitly know the div heights I don't think there is a pure CSS solution.

Nginx -- static file serving confusion with root & alias

I have found answers to my confusions.

There is a very important difference between the root and the alias directives. This difference exists in the way the path specified in the root or the alias is processed.

In case of the root directive, full path is appended to the root including the location part, whereas in case of the alias directive, only the portion of the path NOT including the location part is appended to the alias.

To illustrate:

Let's say we have the config

location /static/ {
    root /var/www/app/static/;
    autoindex off;
}

In this case the final path that Nginx will derive will be

/var/www/app/static/static

This is going to return 404 since there is no static/ within static/

This is because the location part is appended to the path specified in the root. Hence, with root, the correct way is

location /static/ {
    root /var/www/app/;
    autoindex off;
}

On the other hand, with alias, the location part gets dropped. So for the config

location /static/ {
    alias /var/www/app/static/;
    autoindex off;           ?
}                            |
                             pay attention to this trailing slash

the final path will correctly be formed as

/var/www/app/static

The case of trailing slash for alias directive

There is no definitive guideline about whether a trailing slash is mandatory per Nginx documentation, but a common observation by people here and elsewhere seems to indicate that it is.

A few more places have discussed this, not conclusively though.

How to disable keypad popup when on edittext?

People have suggested many great solutions here, but I used this simple technique with my EditText (nothing in java and AnroidManifest.xml is required). Just set your focusable and focusableInTouchMode to false directly on EditText.

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_pin"
        android:layout_width="136dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:inputType="numberPassword"
        android:password="true"
        android:textSize="24dp"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"/>

My intent here is to use this edit box in App lock activity where I am asking user to input the PIN and I want to show my custom PIN pad. Tested with minSdk=8 and maxSdk=23 on Android Studio 2.1

Use jQuery to hide a DIV when the user clicks outside of it

 
$(document).ready(function() {

$('.headings').click(function () {$('#sub1').css("display",""); });
$('.headings').click(function () {return false;});
$('#sub1').click(function () {return false;});
$('body').click(function () {$('#sub1').css("display","none");

})});

Detect encoding and make everything UTF-8

When you try to handle multi languages like Japanese and Korean you might get in trouble. mb_convert_encoding with 'auto' parameter doesn't work well. Setting mb_detect_order('ASCII,UTF-8,JIS,EUC-JP,SJIS,EUC-KR,UHC') doesn't help since it will detect EUC-* wrongly.

I concluded that as long as input strings comes from HTML, it should use 'charset' in a meta element. I use Simple HTML DOM Parser because it supports invalid HTML.

The below snippet extracts title element from a web page. If you would like to convert entire page, then you may want to remove some lines.

<?php
require_once 'simple_html_dom.php';

echo convert_title_to_utf8(file_get_contents($argv[1])), PHP_EOL;

function convert_title_to_utf8($contents)
{
    $dom = str_get_html($contents);
    $title = $dom->find('title', 0);
    if (empty($title)) {
        return null;
    }
    $title = $title->plaintext;
    $metas = $dom->find('meta');
    $charset = 'auto';
    foreach ($metas as $meta) {
        if (!empty($meta->charset)) { // html5
            $charset = $meta->charset;
        } else if (preg_match('@charset=(.+)@', $meta->content, $match)) {
            $charset = $match[1];
        }
    }
    if (!in_array(strtolower($charset), array_map('strtolower', mb_list_encodings()))) {
        $charset = 'auto';
    }
    return mb_convert_encoding($title, 'UTF-8', $charset);
}

Switch with if, else if, else, and loops inside case

Seems like kind of a homely way of doing things, but if you must... you could restructure it as such to fit your needs:

boolean found = false;

case 1:

for (Element arrayItem : array) {
    if (arrayItem == whateverValue) {
        found = true;    
    } // else if ...
}
if (found) {
    break;
}
case 2:

CSS transition fade on hover

This will do the trick

.gallery-item
{
  opacity:1;
}

.gallery-item:hover
{
  opacity:0;
  transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -webkit-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
  -o-transition: opacity .2s ease-out;
}

Pandas: Setting no. of max rows

to set unlimited number of rows use

None

i.e.,

pd.set_option('display.max_cols', None)

now the notebook will display all the rows in all datasets within the notebook ;)

Similarly you can set to show all columns as

pd.set_option('display.max_rows', None)

now if you use run the cell with only dataframe with out any head or tail tags as

df

then it will show all the rows and columns in the dataframe df

What does bundle exec rake mean?

I have not used bundle exec much, but am setting it up now.

I have had instances where the wrong rake was used and much time wasted tracking down the problem. This helps you avoid that.

Here's how to set up RVM so you can use bundle exec by default within a specific project directory:

https://thoughtbot.com/blog/use-bundlers-binstubs

'Found the synthetic property @panelState. Please include either "BrowserAnimationsModule" or "NoopAnimationsModule" in your application.'

For me was because I put the animation name inside square brackets.

<div [@animation]></div>

But after I removed the bracket all worked fine (In Angular 9.0.1):

<div @animation></div>

IIS: Where can I find the IIS logs?

I'm adding this answer because after researching the web, I ended up at this answer but still didn't know which subfolder of the IIS logs folder to look in.

If your server has multiple websites, you will need to know the IIS ID for the site. An easy way to get this in IIS is to simply click on the Sites folder in the left panel. The ID for each site is shown in the right panel.

Once you know the ID, let's call it n, the corresponding logs are in the W3SVCn subfolder of the IIS logs folder. So, if your website ID is 4, say, and the IIS logs are in the default location, then the logs are in this folder: 

%SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC4

Acknowlegements:

  • Answer by @jishi tells where the logs are by default.
  • Answer by @Rafid explains how to find actual location (maybe not default).
  • Answer by @Bergius gives a programmatic way to find the log folder location for a specific website, taking ID into account, without using IIS.

Access to the path denied error in C#

You do not have permissions to access the file. Please be sure whether you can access the file in that drive.

How do I enable --enable-soap in php on linux?

As far as your question goes: no, if activating from .ini is not enough and you can't upgrade PHP, there's not much you can do. Some modules, but not all, can be added without recompilation (zypper install php5-soap, yum install php-soap). If it is not enough, try installing some PEAR class for interpreted SOAP support (NuSOAP, etc.).

In general, the double-dash --switches are designed to be used when recompiling PHP from scratch.

You would download the PHP source package (as a compressed .tgz tarball, say), expand it somewhere and then, e.g. under Linux, run the configure script

./configure --prefix ...

The configure command used by your PHP may be shown with phpinfo(). Repeating it identical should give you an exact copy of the PHP you now have installed. Adding --enable-soap will then enable SOAP in addition to everything else.

That said, if you aren't familiar with PHP recompilation, don't do it. It also requires several ancillary libraries that you might, or might not, have available - freetype, gd, libjpeg, XML, expat, and so on and so forth (it's not enough they are installed; they must be a developer version, i.e. with headers and so on; in most distributions, having libjpeg installed might not be enough, and you might need libjpeg-dev also).

I have to keep a separate virtual machine with everything installed for my recompilation purposes.

How to debug apk signed for release?

Printing Lists as Tabular Data

Pure Python 3

def print_table(data, cols, wide):
    '''Prints formatted data on columns of given width.'''
    n, r = divmod(len(data), cols)
    pat = '{{:{}}}'.format(wide)
    line = '\n'.join(pat * cols for _ in range(n))
    last_line = pat * r
    print(line.format(*data))
    print(last_line.format(*data[n*cols:]))

data = [str(i) for i in range(27)]
print_table(data, 6, 12)

Will print

0           1           2           3           4           5

Visual studio code terminal, how to run a command with administrator rights?

Running as admin didn't help me. (also got errors with syscall: rename)

Turns out this error can also occur if files are locked by Windows.

This can occur if :

  • You are actually running the project
  • You have files open in both Visual Studio and VSCode.

Running as admin doesn't get around windows file locking.

I created a new project in VS2017 and then switched to VSCode to try to add more packages. After stopping the project from running and closing VS2017 it was able to complete without error

Disclaimer: I'm not exactly sure if this means running as admin isn't necessary, but try to avoid it if possible to avoid the possibility of some rogue package doing stuff it isn't meant to.

Visual Studio 2010 always thinks project is out of date, but nothing has changed

This happened to me multiple times and then went away, before I could figure out why. In my case it was:

Wrong system time in the dual boot setup!

Turns out, my dual boot with Ubuntu was the root cause!! I've been too lazy to fix up Ubuntu to stop messing with my hardware clock. When I log into Ubuntu, the time jumps 5 hours forward.

Out of bad luck, I built the project once, with the wrong system time, then corrected the time. As a result, all the build files had wrong timestamps, and VS would think they are all out of date and would rebuild the project.

How to set placeholder value using CSS?

From what I understand using,

::-webkit-input-placeholder::beforeor ::-webkit-input-placeholder::after,

to add more placeholder content doesn't work anymore. Think its a new Chrome update.

Really annoying as it was a great workaround, now im back to just adding lots of empty spaces between lines that I want in a placeholder. eg:

<input type="text" value="" id="email1" placeholder="I am on one line.                                              I am on a second line                                                                                     etc etc..." />

Python socket receive - incoming packets always have a different size

Note that exact reason why your code is frozen is not because you set too high request.recv() buffer size. Here is explained What means buffer size in socket.recv(buffer_size)

This code will work until it'll receive an empty TCP message (if you'd print this empty message, it'd show b''):

while True:    
  data = self.request.recv(1024)
  if not data: break

And note, that there is no way to send empty TCP message. socket.send(b'') simply won't work.

Why? Because empty message is sent only when you type socket.close(), so your script will loop as long as you won't close your connection. As Hans L pointed out here are some good methods to end message.

JSF(Primefaces) ajax update of several elements by ID's

If the to-be-updated component is not inside the same NamingContainer component (ui:repeat, h:form, h:dataTable, etc), then you need to specify the "absolute" client ID. Prefix with : (the default NamingContainer separator character) to start from root. 

<p:ajax process="@this" update="count :subTotal"/>

To be sure, check the client ID of the subTotal component in the generated HTML for the actual value. If it's inside for example a h:form as well, then it's prefixed with its client ID as well and you would need to fix it accordingly.

<p:ajax process="@this" update="count :formId:subTotal"/>

Space separation of IDs is more recommended as <f:ajax> doesn't support comma separation and starters would otherwise get confused.

Send data from activity to fragment in Android

My solution is to write a static method inside the fragment:

public TheFragment setData(TheData data) {
    TheFragment tf = new TheFragment();
    tf.data = data;
    return tf;
}

This way I am sure that all the data I need is inside the Fragment before any other possible operation which could need to work with it. Also it looks cleaner in my opinion.

What is the lifetime of a static variable in a C++ function?

Motti is right about the order, but there are some other things to consider:

Compilers typically use a hidden flag variable to indicate if the local statics have already been initialized, and this flag is checked on every entry to the function. Obviously this is a small performance hit, but what's more of a concern is that this flag is not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

If you have a local static as above, and foo is called from multiple threads, you may have race conditions causing plonk to be initialized incorrectly or even multiple times. Also, in this case plonk may get destructed by a different thread than the one which constructed it.

Despite what the standard says, I'd be very wary of the actual order of local static destruction, because it's possible that you may unwittingly rely on a static being still valid after it's been destructed, and this is really difficult to track down.

How to fix UITableView separator on iOS 7?

UITableView has a property separatorInset. You can use that to set the insets of the table view separators to zero to let them span the full width of the screen. 

[tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];

Note: If your app is also targeting other iOS versions, you should check for the availability of this property before calling it by doing something like this:

if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
    [tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}

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

If you use spyder and love GUI, you can simply click on the folder button on the upper right corner of your screen and navigate through folders/directories you want as current directory. After doing so you can go to the file explorer tab of the window in spyder IDE and you can see all the files/folders present there. to check your current working directory go to the console of spyder IDE and simply type

pwd

it will print the same path as you have selected before.

Most efficient way to append arrays in C#?

How do you get the process ID of a program in Unix or Linux using Python?

This is a simplified variation of Fernando's answer. This is for Linux and either Python 2 or 3. No external library is needed, and no external process is run.

import glob

def get_command_pid(command):
    for path in glob.glob('/proc/*/comm'):
        if open(path).read().rstrip() == command:
            return path.split('/')[2]

Only the first matching process found will be returned, which works well for some purposes. To get the PIDs of multiple matching processes, you could just replace the return with yield, and then get a list with pids = list(get_command_pid(command)).

Alternatively, as a single expression:

For one process:

next(path.split('/')[2] for path in glob.glob('/proc/*/comm') if open(path).read().rstrip() == command)

For multiple processes:

[path.split('/')[2] for path in glob.glob('/proc/*/comm') if open(path).read().rstrip() == command]

mySQL :: insert into table, data from another table?

Answered by zerkms is the correct method. But, if someone looking to insert more extra column in the table then you can get it from the following:

INSERT INTO action_2_members (`campaign_id`, `mobile`, `email`, `vote`, `vote_date`, `current_time`)
SELECT `campaign_id`, `from_number`, '[email protected]', `received_msg`, `date_received`, 1502309889 FROM `received_txts` WHERE `campaign_id` = '8'

In the above query, there are 2 extra columns named email & current_time.

Folder is locked and I can't unlock it

Right click on your Subversion working directory folder, and select TortoiseSVN->Clean Up from the Context Menu. This will recurse it's way through your working directory and cleanup any incomplete actions, remove the local locks (which is different from using Subversion locking of a file in the repository which lets everyone know about the lock).

If that doesn't work, see if you can find the names of the files that were changed, but not yet committed, save them, and redo the checkout.

How do I discover memory usage of my application in Android?

There are a lot of answer above which will definitely help you but (after 2 days of afford and research on adb memory tools) I think i can help with my opinion too.

As Hackbod says : Thus if you were to take all of the physical RAM actually mapped in to each process, and add up all of the processes, you would probably end up with a number much greater than the actual total RAM. so there is no way you can get exact amount of memory per process.

But you can get close to it by some logic..and I will tell how..

There are some API like android.os.Debug.MemoryInfo and ActivityManager.getMemoryInfo() mentioned above which you already might have being read about and used but I will talk about other way

So firstly you need to be a root user to get it work. Get into console with root privilege by executing su in process and get its output and input stream. Then pass id\n (enter) in ouputstream and write it to process output, If will get an inputstream containing uid=0, you are root user.

Now here is the logic which you will use in above process

When you get ouputstream of process pass you command (procrank, dumpsys meminfo etc...) with \n instead of id and get its inputstream and read, store the stream in bytes[ ] ,char[ ] etc.. use raw data..and you are done!!!!!

permission :

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

Check if you are root user :

// su command to get root access

DataOutputStream dataOutputStream = 
                           new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
if (dataOutputStream != null) {
 // adb command
 dataOutputStream.writeBytes("procrank\n");             
 dataOutputStream.flush();
 BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = 
                     new BufferedInputStream(process.getInputStream());
 // this is important as it takes times to return to next line so wait
 // else you with get empty bytes in buffered stream 
 try {
       Thread.sleep(10000);
 } catch (InterruptedException e) {                     
       e.printStackTrace();
 }
 // read buffered stream into byte,char etc.
 byte[] bff = new byte[bufferedInputStream.available()];
 bufferedInputStream.read(bff);
 bufferedInputStream.close();
 }
}

logcat : result

You get a raw data in a single string from console instead of in some instance from any API,which is complex to store as you will need to separate it manually.

This is just a try, please suggest me if I missed something

Git: How to pull a single file from a server repository in Git?

It is possible to do (in the deployed repository):

git fetch
// git fetch will download all the recent changes, but it will not put it in your current checked out code (working area).

Followed by: 

git checkout origin/master -- path/to/file
// git checkout <local repo name (default is origin)>/<branch name> -- path/to/file will checkout the particular file from the downloaded changes (origin/master).

How to use onBlur event on Angular2?

Use (eventName) for while binding event to DOM, basically () is used for event binding. Also use ngModel to get two way binding for myModel variable.

Markup

<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="myModel" (blur)="onBlurMethod()">

Code

export class AppComponent { 
  myModel: any;
  constructor(){
    this.myModel = '123';
  }
  onBlurMethod(){
   alert(this.myModel) 
  }
}

Demo

Alternative(not preferable)

<input type="text" #input (blur)="onBlurMethod($event.target.value)">

Demo

For model driven form to fire validation on blur, you could pass updateOn parameter.

ctrl = new FormControl('', {
   updateOn: 'blur', //default will be change
   validators: [Validators.required]
});

What does the ^ (XOR) operator do?

Another application for XOR is in circuits. It is used to sum bits.

When you look at a truth table:

 x | y | x^y
---|---|-----
 0 | 0 |  0     // 0 plus 0 = 0 
 0 | 1 |  1     // 0 plus 1 = 1
 1 | 0 |  1     // 1 plus 0 = 1
 1 | 1 |  0     // 1 plus 1 = 0 ; binary math with 1 bit

You can notice that the result of XOR is x added with y, without keeping track of the carry bit, the carry bit is obtained from the AND between x and y.

x^y // is actually ~xy + ~yx
    // Which is the (negated x ANDed with y) OR ( negated y ANDed with x ).

Can I delete a git commit but keep the changes?

2020 Simple way : 

git reset <commit_hash>

(The commit hash of the last commit you want to keep).

If the commit was pushed, you can then do :

git push -f

You will keep the now uncommitted changes locally

How many bytes is unsigned long long?

It must be at least 64 bits. Other than that it's implementation defined.

Strictly speaking, unsigned long long isn't standard in C++ until the C++0x standard. unsigned long long is a 'simple-type-specifier' for the type unsigned long long int (so they're synonyms).

The long long set of types is also in C99 and was a common extension to C++ compilers even before being standardized.

How to make external HTTP requests with Node.js

You can use the built-in http module to do an http.request().

However if you want to simplify the API you can use a module such as superagent

How do I convert a string to a number in PHP?

I got the question "say you were writing the built in function for casting an integer to a string in PHP, how would you write that function" in a programming interview. Here's a solution.

$nums = ["0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"];
$int = 15939; 
$string = ""; 
while ($int) { 
    $string .= $nums[$int % 10]; 
    $int = (int)($int / 10); 
} 
$result = strrev($string);

Convert a double to a QString

Use QString's number method (docs are here):

double valueAsDouble = 1.2;
QString valueAsString = QString::number(valueAsDouble);

Does JavaScript pass by reference?

In practical terms, Alnitak is correct and makes it easy to understand, but ultimately in JavaScript, everything is passed by value.

What is the "value" of an object? It is the object reference.

When you pass in an object, you get a copy of this value (hence the 'copy of a reference' that Alnitak described). If you change this value, you do not change the original object; you are changing your copy of that reference.

Searching word in vim?

like this:

/\<word\>

\< means beginning of a word, and \> means the end of a word,

Adding @Roe's comment:
VIM provides a shortcut for this. If you already have word on screen and you want to find other instances of it, you can put the cursor on the word and press '*' to search forward in the file or '#' to search backwards.

How to rename a pane in tmux?

Also when scripting, you can specify a name when creating the window with -n <window name>. For example:

# variable to store the session name
SESSION="my_session"

# set up session
tmux -2 new-session -d -s $SESSION

# create window; split into panes
tmux new-window -t $SESSION:0 -n 'My Window with a Name'

Eclipse Java error: This selection cannot be launched and there are no recent launches

Make sure the "m" in main() is lowercase this would also cause java not to see your main method, I've done that several times unfortunately.

Setting Authorization Header of HttpClient

In net .core you can use

var client = new HttpClient();
client.SetBasicAuthentication(userName, password);

or

var client = new HttpClient();
client.SetBearerToken(token);

css3 transition animation on load?

CSS only with a delay of 3s

a few points to take here:

  • multiple animations in one call
  • we create a wait animation that just delays the actual one (the second one in our case).

Code:

header {
    animation: 3s ease-out 0s 1 wait, 0.21s ease-out 3s 1 slideInFromBottom;
}

@keyframes wait {
    from { transform: translateY(20px); }
    to { transform: translateY(20px); }
}

@keyframes slideInFromBottom {
  from { transform: translateY(20px); opacity: 0; }
  to { transform: translateY(0); opacity: 1; }
}

LINQ Aggregate algorithm explained

In addition to all the great answers here already, I've also used it to walk an item through a series of transformation steps.

If a transformation is implemented as a Func<T,T>, you can add several transformations to a List<Func<T,T>> and use Aggregate to walk an instance of T through each step.

A more concrete example

You want to take a string value, and walk it through a series of text transformations that could be built programatically.

var transformationPipeLine = new List<Func<string, string>>();
transformationPipeLine.Add((input) => input.Trim());
transformationPipeLine.Add((input) => input.Substring(1));
transformationPipeLine.Add((input) => input.Substring(0, input.Length - 1));
transformationPipeLine.Add((input) => input.ToUpper());

var text = "    cat   ";
var output = transformationPipeLine.Aggregate(text, (input, transform)=> transform(input));
Console.WriteLine(output);

This will create a chain of transformations: Remove leading and trailing spaces -> remove first character -> remove last character -> convert to upper-case. Steps in this chain can be added, removed, or reordered as needed, to create whatever kind of transformation pipeline is required.

The end result of this specific pipeline, is that " cat " becomes "A".

This can become very powerful once you realize that T can be anything. This could be used for image transformations, like filters, using BitMap as an example;

Scala: what is the best way to append an element to an Array?

You can use :+ to append element to array and +: to prepend it:

0 +: array :+ 4

should produce:

res3: Array[Int] = Array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)

It's the same as with any other implementation of Seq.

Does Notepad++ show all hidden characters?

Yes, it does. The way to enable this depends on your version of Notepad++. On newer versions you can use:

Menu View ? Show Symbol ? *Show All Characters`

or

Menu View ? Show Symbol ? Show White Space and TAB

(Thanks to bers' comment and bkaid's answers below for these updated locations.)

On older versions you can look for:

Menu View ? Show all characters

or

Menu View ? Show White Space and TAB

Docker and securing passwords

There is a new docker command for "secrets" management. But that only works for swarm clusters.

docker service create
--name my-iis
--publish target=8000,port=8000
--secret src=homepage,target="\inetpub\wwwroot\index.html"
microsoft/iis:nanoserver

This works

iframe{
    border-width: 0px;
}

How to return value from Action()?

Use Func<T> rather than Action<T>.

Action<T> acts like a void method with parameter of type T, while Func<T> works like a function with no parameters and which returns an object of type T.

If you wish to give parameters to your function, use Func<TParameter1, TParameter2, ..., TReturn>.

"Continue" (to next iteration) on VBScript

Your suggestion would work, but using a Do loop might be a little more readable.

This is actually an idiom in C - instead of using a goto, you can have a do { } while (0) loop with a break statement if you want to bail out of the construct early.

Dim i

For i = 0 To 10
    Do
        If i = 4 Then Exit Do
        WScript.Echo i
    Loop While False
Next

As crush suggests, it looks a little better if you remove the extra indentation level.

Dim i

For i = 0 To 10: Do
    If i = 4 Then Exit Do
    WScript.Echo i
Loop While False: Next
