In Typescript, How to check if a string is Numeric

Simple answer: (watch for blank & null)

isNaN(+'111') = false;
isNaN(+'111r') = true;
isNaN(+'r') = true;
isNaN(+'') = false;   
isNaN(null) = false;

jquery to validate phone number

Your code:

rules: {
    phoneNumber: {
        matches: "[0-9]+",  // <-- no such method called "matches"!
        minlength:10,
        maxlength:10
    }
}

There is no such callback function, option, method, or rule called matches anywhere within the jQuery Validate plugin. (EDIT: OP failed to mention that matches is his custom method.)

However, within the additional-methods.js file, there are several phone number validation methods you can use. The one called phoneUS should satisfy your pattern. Since the rule already validates the length, minlength and maxlength are redundantly unnecessary. It's also much more comprehensive in that area codes and prefixes can not start with a 1.

rules: {
    phoneNumber: {
        phoneUS: true
    }
}

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/eWhkv/


If, for whatever reason, you just need the regex for use in another method, you can take it from here...

jQuery.validator.addMethod("phoneUS", function(phone_number, element) {
    phone_number = phone_number.replace(/\s+/g, "");
    return this.optional(element) || phone_number.length > 9 && 
    phone_number.match(/^(\+?1-?)?(\([2-9]\d{2}\)|[2-9]\d{2})-?[2-9]\d{2}-?\d{4}$/);
}, "Please specify a valid phone number");

Sort a list of numerical strings in ascending order

in python sorted works like you want with integers:

>>> sorted([10,3,2])
[2, 3, 10]

it looks like you have a problem because you are using strings:

>>> sorted(['10','3','2'])
['10', '2', '3']

(because string ordering starts with the first character, and "1" comes before "2", no matter what characters follow) which can be fixed with key=int

>>> sorted(['10','3','2'], key=int)
['2', '3', '10']

which converts the values to integers during the sort (it is called as a function - int('10') returns the integer 10)

and as suggested in the comments, you can also sort the list itself, rather than generating a new one:

>>> l = ['10','3','2']
>>> l.sort(key=int)
>>> l
['2', '3', '10']

but i would look into why you have strings at all. you should be able to save and retrieve integers. it looks like you are saving a string when you should be saving an int? (sqlite is unusual amongst databases, in that it kind-of stores data in the same type as it is given, even if the table column type is different).

and once you start saving integers, you can also get the list back sorted from sqlite by adding order by ... to the sql command:

select temperature from temperatures order by temperature;

What does 'super' do in Python?

some great answers here, but they do not tackle how to use super() in the case where different classes in the hierarchy have different signatures ... especially in the case of __init__

to answer that part and to be able to effectively use super() i'd suggest reading my answer super() and changing the signature of cooperative methods.

here's just the solution to this scenario:

  1. the top-level classes in your hierarchy must inherit from a custom class like SuperObject:
  2. if classes can take differing arguments, always pass all arguments you received on to the super function as keyword arguments, and, always accept **kwargs.
class SuperObject:        
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        print('SuperObject')
        mro = type(self).__mro__
        assert mro[-1] is object
        if mro[-2] is not SuperObject:
            raise TypeError(
                'all top-level classes in this hierarchy must inherit from SuperObject',
                'the last class in the MRO should be SuperObject',
                f'mro={[cls.__name__ for cls in mro]}'
            )

        # super().__init__ is guaranteed to be object.__init__        
        init = super().__init__
        init()

example usage:

class A(SuperObject):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        print("A")
        super(A, self).__init__(**kwargs)

class B(SuperObject):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        print("B")
        super(B, self).__init__(**kwargs)

class C(A):
    def __init__(self, age, **kwargs):
        print("C",f"age={age}")
        super(C, self).__init__(age=age, **kwargs)

class D(B):
    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        print("D", f"name={name}")
        super(D, self).__init__(name=name, **kwargs)

class E(C,D):
    def __init__(self, name, age, *args, **kwargs):
        print( "E", f"name={name}", f"age={age}")
        super(E, self).__init__(name=name, age=age, *args, **kwargs)

E(name='python', age=28)

output:

E name=python age=28
C age=28
A
D name=python
B
SuperObject

what is the difference between json and xml

They're two different ways of representing data, but they're pretty dissimilar. The wikipedia pages for JSON and XML give some examples of each, and there's a comparison paragraph

What's the best way to calculate the size of a directory in .NET?

No, this looks like the recommended way to calculate directory size, the relevent method included below:

public static long DirSize(DirectoryInfo d) 
{    
    long size = 0;    
    // Add file sizes.
    FileInfo[] fis = d.GetFiles();
    foreach (FileInfo fi in fis) 
    {      
        size += fi.Length;    
    }
    // Add subdirectory sizes.
    DirectoryInfo[] dis = d.GetDirectories();
    foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dis) 
    {
        size += DirSize(di);   
    }
    return size;  
}

You would call with the root as:

Console.WriteLine("The size is {0} bytes.", DirSize(new DirectoryInfo(targetFolder));

...where targetFolder is the folder-size to calculate.

PowerMockito mock single static method and return object

What you want to do is a combination of part of 1 and all of 2.

You need to use the PowerMockito.mockStatic to enable static mocking for all static methods of a class. This means make it possible to stub them using the when-thenReturn syntax.

But the 2-argument overload of mockStatic you are using supplies a default strategy for what Mockito/PowerMock should do when you call a method you haven't explicitly stubbed on the mock instance.

From the javadoc:

Creates class mock with a specified strategy for its answers to interactions. It's quite advanced feature and typically you don't need it to write decent tests. However it can be helpful when working with legacy systems. It is the default answer so it will be used only when you don't stub the method call.

The default default stubbing strategy is to just return null, 0 or false for object, number and boolean valued methods. By using the 2-arg overload, you're saying "No, no, no, by default use this Answer subclass' answer method to get a default value. It returns a Long, so if you have static methods which return something incompatible with Long, there is a problem.

Instead, use the 1-arg version of mockStatic to enable stubbing of static methods, then use when-thenReturn to specify what to do for a particular method. For example:

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.invocation.InvocationOnMock;
import org.mockito.stubbing.Answer;
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

class ClassWithStatics {
  public static String getString() {
    return "String";
  }

  public static int getInt() {
    return 1;
  }
}

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(ClassWithStatics.class)
public class StubJustOneStatic {
  @Test
  public void test() {
    PowerMockito.mockStatic(ClassWithStatics.class);

    when(ClassWithStatics.getString()).thenReturn("Hello!");

    System.out.println("String: " + ClassWithStatics.getString());
    System.out.println("Int: " + ClassWithStatics.getInt());
  }
}

The String-valued static method is stubbed to return "Hello!", while the int-valued static method uses the default stubbing, returning 0.

jQuery map vs. each

i understood it by this:

function fun1() {
    return this + 1;
}
function fun2(el) {
    return el + 1;
}

var item = [5,4,3,2,1];

var newitem1 = $.each(item, fun1);
var newitem2 = $.map(item, fun2);

console.log(newitem1); // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] 
console.log(newitem2); // [6, 5, 4, 3, 2] 

so, "each" function returns the original array while "map" function returns a new array

how to get the cookies from a php curl into a variable

The accepted answer seems like it will search through the entire response message. This could give you false matches for cookie headers if the word "Set-Cookie" is at the beginning of a line. While it should be fine in most cases. The safer way might be to read through the message from the beginning until the first empty line which indicates the end of the message headers. This is just an alternate solution that should look for the first blank line and then use preg_grep on those lines only to find "Set-Cookie".

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    //Return everything
    $res = curl_exec($ch);
    //Split into lines
    $lines = explode("\n", $res);
    $headers = array();
    $body = "";
    foreach($lines as $num => $line){
        $l = str_replace("\r", "", $line);
        //Empty line indicates the start of the message body and end of headers
        if(trim($l) == ""){
            $headers = array_slice($lines, 0, $num);
            $body = $lines[$num + 1];
            //Pull only cookies out of the headers
            $cookies = preg_grep('/^Set-Cookie:/', $headers);
            break;
        }
    }

Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:JSFTut' did not find a matching property

Update to the latest release

Since this commit, this is is fixed in the development version of Tomcat. And now in released versions 9.0.13, 8.5.35, and 7.0.92.

From the 9.0.13 changelog:

Ignore an attribute named source on Context elements provided by StandardContext. This is to suppress warnings generated by the Eclipse / Tomcat integration provided by Eclipse. Based on a patch by mdfst13. (markt)

There are similar entries in the 7.0.92 and 8.5.35 changelogs.

The effect of this change is to suppress a warning when a source attribute is declared on a Context element in either server.xml or a context.xml. Since those are the two places that Eclipse puts such an attribute, that fixes this particular issue.

TL;DR: update to the latest Tomcat version in its branch, e.g. 9.0.13 or newer.

Multiple conditions in a C 'for' loop

Do not use this code; whoever wrote it clearly has a fundamental misunderstanding of the language and is not trustworthy. The expression:

j >= 0, i <= 5

evaluates "j >= 0", then throws it away and does nothing with it. Then it evaluates "i <= 5" and uses that, and only that, as the condition for ending the loop. The comma operator can be used meaningfully in a loop condition when the left operand has side effects; you'll often see things like:

for (i = 0, j = 0; i < 10; ++i, ++j) . . .

in which the comma is used to sneak in extra initialization and increment statements. But the code shown is not doing that, or anything else meaningful.

Is it better to use "is" or "==" for number comparison in Python?

>>> 2 == 2.0
True
>>> 2 is 2.0
False

Use ==

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No converter found for return value of type

In my case, I forgot to add library jackson-core.jar, I only added jackson-annotations.jar and jackson-databind.jar. When I added jackson-core.jar, it fixed the problem.

Parse json string to find and element (key / value)

Use a JSON parser, like JSON.NET

var data = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
string timeZone = data["Atlantic/Canary"].Value<string>();

What is a raw type and why shouldn't we use it?

Here I am Considering multiple cases through which you can clearify the concept

1. ArrayList<String> arr = new ArrayList<String>();
2. ArrayList<String> arr = new ArrayList();
3. ArrayList arr = new ArrayList<String>();

Case 1

ArrayList<String> arr it is a ArrayList reference variable with type String which reference to a ArralyList Object of Type String. It means it can hold only String type Object.

It is a Strict to String not a Raw Type so, It will never raise an warning .

    arr.add("hello");// alone statement will compile successfully and no warning.

    arr.add(23);  //prone to compile time error.
     //error: no suitable method found for add(int)

Case 2

In this case ArrayList<String> arr is a strict type but your Object new ArrayList(); is a raw type.

    arr.add("hello"); //alone this compile but raise the warning.
    arr.add(23);  //again prone to compile time error.
    //error: no suitable method found for add(int)

here arr is a Strict type. So, It will raise compile time error when adding a integer.

Warning :- A Raw Type Object is referenced to a Strict type Referenced Variable of ArrayList.

Case 3

In this case ArrayList arr is a raw type but your Object new ArrayList<String>(); is a Strict type.

    arr.add("hello");  
    arr.add(23);  //compiles fine but raise the warning.

It will add any type of Object into it because arr is a Raw Type.

Warning :- A Strict Type Object is referenced to a raw type referenced Variable.

How to prevent auto-closing of console after the execution of batch file

Possibility 1: Just make 2 .bat files and write into the first:

start <filename> // name of 2nd batch file
exit

Batch file 2 is the file that wont close in the end. So now when you open batch nr.1 It will start the 2nd and cloe itself. When the 2nd finishes it will not close entirely (as long as you wont put exit at the end)

Possibility 2: Batch file 1:

call <filename>
cls
echo End of file
pause
<any code you want>

When the 2nd file ends then it will proceed to file 1 again and output the rest of it. With that you can even make error handlers. If nr.1 crashes it goes into nr.2 and displays it

Matplotlib tight_layout() doesn't take into account figure suptitle

One thing you could change in your code very easily is the fontsize you are using for the titles. However, I am going to assume that you don't just want to do that!

Some alternatives to using fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.85):

Usually tight_layout() does a pretty good job at positioning everything in good locations so that they don't overlap. The reason tight_layout() doesn't help in this case is because tight_layout() does not take fig.suptitle() into account. There is an open issue about this on GitHub: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/829 [closed in 2014 due to requiring a full geometry manager - shifted to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1109 ].

If you read the thread, there is a solution to your problem involving GridSpec. The key is to leave some space at the top of the figure when calling tight_layout, using the rect kwarg. For your problem, the code becomes:

Using GridSpec

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

f = np.random.random(100)
g = np.random.random(100)

fig = plt.figure(1)
gs1 = gridspec.GridSpec(1, 2)
ax_list = [fig.add_subplot(ss) for ss in gs1]

ax_list[0].plot(f)
ax_list[0].set_title('Very Long Title 1', fontsize=20)

ax_list[1].plot(g)
ax_list[1].set_title('Very Long Title 2', fontsize=20)

fig.suptitle('Long Suptitle', fontsize=24)    

gs1.tight_layout(fig, rect=[0, 0.03, 1, 0.95])  

plt.show()

The result:

using gridspec

Maybe GridSpec is a bit overkill for you, or your real problem will involve many more subplots on a much larger canvas, or other complications. A simple hack is to just use annotate() and lock the coordinates to the 'figure fraction' to imitate a suptitle. You may need to make some finer adjustments once you take a look at the output, though. Note that this second solution does not use tight_layout().

Simpler solution (though may need to be fine-tuned)

fig = plt.figure(2)

ax1 = plt.subplot(121)
ax1.plot(f)
ax1.set_title('Very Long Title 1', fontsize=20)

ax2 = plt.subplot(122)
ax2.plot(g)
ax2.set_title('Very Long Title 2', fontsize=20)

# fig.suptitle('Long Suptitle', fontsize=24)
# Instead, do a hack by annotating the first axes with the desired 
# string and set the positioning to 'figure fraction'.
fig.get_axes()[0].annotate('Long Suptitle', (0.5, 0.95), 
                            xycoords='figure fraction', ha='center', 
                            fontsize=24
                            )
plt.show()

The result:

simple

How to center icon and text in a android button with width set to "fill parent"

This is my solution I wrote 3 years ago. Button has text and left icon and is in frame that is actual button here and can be stretched by fill_parent. I cannot test it again but it was working back then. Probably Button don't have to be used and can be replaced by TextView but I will not test it right now and it doesn't change functionality too much here.

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/login_button_login"
    android:background="@drawable/apptheme_btn_default_holo_dark"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_height="40dp">
    <Button
        android:clickable="false"
        android:drawablePadding="15dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        style="@style/WhiteText.Small.Bold"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/lock"
        android:background="@color/transparent"
        android:text="LOGIN" />
</FrameLayout>

Understanding implicit in Scala

WARNING: contains sarcasm judiciously! YMMV...

Luigi's answer is complete and correct. This one is only to extend it a bit with an example of how you can gloriously overuse implicits, as it happens quite often in Scala projects. Actually so often, you can probably even find it in one of the "Best Practice" guides.

object HelloWorld {
  case class Text(content: String)
  case class Prefix(text: String)

  implicit def String2Text(content: String)(implicit prefix: Prefix) = {
    Text(prefix.text + " " + content)
  }

  def printText(text: Text): Unit = {
    println(text.content)
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    printText("World!")
  }

  // Best to hide this line somewhere below a pile of completely unrelated code.
  // Better yet, import its package from another distant place.
  implicit val prefixLOL = Prefix("Hello")
}

How to undo a SQL Server UPDATE query?

Considering that you already have a full backup I’d just restore that backup into separate database and migrate the data from there.

If your data has changed after the latest backup then what you recover all data that way but you can try to recover that by reading transaction log.

If your database was in full recovery mode than transaction log has enough details to recover updates to your data after the latest backup.

You might want to try with DBCC LOG, fn_log functions or with third party log reader such as ApexSQL Log

Unfortunately there is no easy way to read transaction log because MS doesn’t provide documentation for this and stores the data in its proprietary format.

git push to specific branch

I would like to add an updated answer - now I have been using git for a while, I find that I am often using the following commands to do any pushing (using the original question as the example):

  • git push origin amd_qlp_tester - push to the branch located in the remote called origin on remote-branch called amd_qlp_tester.
  • git push -u origin amd_qlp_tester - same as last one, but sets the upstream linking the local branch to the remote branch so that next time you can just use git push/pull if not already linked (only need to do it once).
  • git push - Once you have set the upstream you can just use this shorter version.

Note -u option is the short version of --set-upstream - they are the same.

Change Toolbar color in Appcompat 21

You can set a custom toolbar item color dynamically by creating a custom toolbar class:

package view;

                        if(((ActionMenuItemView)innerView).getCompoundDrawables()[k] != null) {
                            final int finalK = k;

                            //Important to set the color filter in seperate thread,

                            //Works fine for my case but needs more testing

                            ((ActionMenuItemView) innerView).getCompoundDrawables()[finalK].setColorFilter(colorFilter);

//                              innerView.post(new Runnable() {

Round number to nearest integer

For positives, try

int(x + 0.5)

To make it work for negatives too, try

int(x + (0.5 if x > 0 else -0.5))

int() works like a floor function and hence you can exploit this property. This is definitely the fastest way.

What does Ruby have that Python doesn't, and vice versa?

Another difference in lambdas between Python and Ruby is demonstrated by Paul Graham's Accumulator Generator problem. Reprinted here:

Write a function foo that takes a number n and returns a function that takes a number i, and returns n incremented by i. Note: (a) that's number, not integer, (b) that's incremented by, not plus.

In Ruby, you can do this:

def foo(n)
  lambda {|i| n += i }
end

In Python, you'd create an object to hold the state of n:

class foo(object):
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
    def __call__(self, i):
        self.n += i
        return self.n

Some folks might prefer the explicit Python approach as being clearer conceptually, even if it's a bit more verbose. You store state like you do for anything else. You just need to wrap your head around the idea of callable objects. But regardless of which approach one prefers aesthetically, it does show one respect in which Ruby lambdas are more powerful constructs than Python's.

How to use OrderBy with findAll in Spring Data

Yes you can sort using query method in Spring Data.

Ex:ascending order or descending order by using the value of the id field.

Code:

  public interface StudentDAO extends JpaRepository<StudentEntity, Integer> {
    public findAllByOrderByIdAsc();   
}

alternative solution:

    @Repository
public class StudentServiceImpl implements StudentService {
    @Autowired
    private StudentDAO studentDao;

    @Override
    public List<Student> findAll() {
        return studentDao.findAll(orderByIdAsc());
    }
private Sort orderByIdAsc() {
    return new Sort(Sort.Direction.ASC, "id")
                .and(new Sort(Sort.Direction.ASC, "name"));
}
}

How can I use SUM() OVER()

Seems like you expected the query to return running totals, but it must have given you the same values for both partitions of AccountID.

To obtain running totals with SUM() OVER (), you need to add an ORDER BY sub-clause after PARTITION BY …, like this:

SUM(Quantity) OVER (PARTITION BY AccountID ORDER BY ID)

But remember, not all database systems support ORDER BY in the OVER clause of a window aggregate function. (For instance, SQL Server didn't support it until the latest version, SQL Server 2012.)

Construct pandas DataFrame from items in nested dictionary

In case someone wants to get the data frame in a "long format" (leaf values have the same type) without multiindex, you can do this:

pd.DataFrame.from_records(
    [
        (level1, level2, level3, leaf)
        for level1, level2_dict in user_dict.items()
        for level2, level3_dict in level2_dict.items()
        for level3, leaf in level3_dict.items()
    ],
    columns=['UserId', 'Category', 'Attribute', 'value']
)

    UserId    Category Attribute     value
0       12  Category 1     att_1         1
1       12  Category 1     att_2  whatever
2       12  Category 2     att_1        23
3       12  Category 2     att_2   another
4       15  Category 1     att_1        10
5       15  Category 1     att_2       foo
6       15  Category 2     att_1        30
7       15  Category 2     att_2       bar

(I know the original question probably wants (I.) to have Levels 1 and 2 as multiindex and Level 3 as columns and (II.) asks about other ways than iteration over values in the dict. But I hope this answer is still relevant and useful (I.): to people like me who have tried to find a way to get the nested dict into this shape and google only returns this question and (II.): because other answers involve some iteration as well and I find this approach flexible and easy to read; not sure about performance, though.)

Modifying location.hash without page scrolling

Adding this here because the more relevant questions have all been marked as duplicates pointing here…

My situation is simpler:

  • user clicks the link (a[href='#something'])
  • click handler does: e.preventDefault()
  • smoothscroll function: $("html,body").stop(true,true).animate({ "scrollTop": linkoffset.top }, scrollspeed, "swing" );
  • then window.location = link;

This way, the scroll occurs, and there's no jump when the location is updated.

String escape into XML

WARNING: Necromancing

Still Darin Dimitrov's answer + System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape(string s) isn't complete.

In XML 1.1, the simplest and safest way is to just encode EVERYTHING.
Like &#09; for \t.
It isn't supported at all in XML 1.0.
For XML 1.0, one possible workaround is to base-64 encode the text containing the character(s).

//string EncodedXml = SpecialXmlEscape("?????? ???");
//Console.WriteLine(EncodedXml);
//string DecodedXml = XmlUnescape(EncodedXml);
//Console.WriteLine(DecodedXml);
public static string SpecialXmlEscape(string input)
{
    //string content = System.Xml.XmlConvert.EncodeName("\t");
    //string content = System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape("\t");
    //string strDelimiter = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("\t"); // XmlEscape("\t"); //XmlDecode("&#09;");
    //strDelimiter = XmlUnescape("&#59;");
    //Console.WriteLine(strDelimiter);
    //Console.WriteLine(string.Format("&#{0};", (int)';'));
    //Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.HeaderName);
    //Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.HeaderName);


    string strXmlText = "";

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
        return input;


    System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
    {
        sb.AppendFormat("&#{0};", (int)input[i]);
    }

    strXmlText = sb.ToString();
    sb.Clear();
    sb = null;

    return strXmlText;
} // End Function SpecialXmlEscape

XML 1.0:

public static string Base64Encode(string plainText)
{
    var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
    return System.Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes);
}

public static string Base64Decode(string base64EncodedData)
{
    var base64EncodedBytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(base64EncodedData);
    return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(base64EncodedBytes);
}

Is there a method that calculates a factorial in Java?

USING DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING IS EFFICIENT

if you want to use it to calculate again and again (like caching)

Java code:

int fact[]=new int[n+1]; //n is the required number you want to find factorial for.
int factorial(int num)
 {
    if(num==0){
     fact[num]=1;
     return fact[num];
       }
     else
       fact[num]=(num)*factorial(num-1);

     return fact[num];
 }

How to use OpenCV SimpleBlobDetector

You may store the parameters for the blob detector in a file, but this is not necessary. Example:

// set up the parameters (check the defaults in opencv's code in blobdetector.cpp)
cv::SimpleBlobDetector::Params params;
params.minDistBetweenBlobs = 50.0f;
params.filterByInertia = false;
params.filterByConvexity = false;
params.filterByColor = false;
params.filterByCircularity = false;
params.filterByArea = true;
params.minArea = 20.0f;
params.maxArea = 500.0f;
// ... any other params you don't want default value

// set up and create the detector using the parameters
cv::SimpleBlobDetector blob_detector(params);
// or cv::Ptr<cv::SimpleBlobDetector> detector = cv::SimpleBlobDetector::create(params)

// detect!
vector<cv::KeyPoint> keypoints;
blob_detector.detect(image, keypoints);

// extract the x y coordinates of the keypoints: 

for (int i=0; i<keypoints.size(); i++){
    float X = keypoints[i].pt.x; 
    float Y = keypoints[i].pt.y;
}

Allow docker container to connect to a local/host postgres database

To set up something simple that allows a Postgresql connection from the docker container to my localhost I used this in postgresql.conf:

listen_addresses = '*'

And added this pg_hba.conf:

host    all             all             172.17.0.0/16           password

Then do a restart. My client from the docker container (which was at 172.17.0.2) could then connect to Postgresql running on my localhost using host:password, database, username and password.

What is the difference between readonly="true" & readonly="readonly"?

Giving an element the attribute readonly will give that element the readonly status. It doesn't matter what value you put after it or if you put any value after it, it will still see it as readonly. Putting readonly="false" won't work.

Suggested is to use the W3C standard, which is readonly="readonly".

Why use Gradle instead of Ant or Maven?

Gradle put the fun back into building/assembling software. I used ant to build software my entire career and I have always considered the actual "buildit" part of the dev work being a necessary evil. A few months back our company grew tired of not using a binary repo (aka checking in jars into the vcs) and I was given the task to investigate this. Started with ivy since it could be bolted on top of ant, didn't have much luck getting my built artifacts published like I wanted. I went for maven and hacked away with xml, worked splendid for some simple helper libs but I ran into serious problems trying to bundle applications ready for deploy. Hassled quite a while googling plugins and reading forums and wound up downloading trillions of support jars for various plugins which I had a hard time using. Finally I went for gradle (getting quite bitter at this point, and annoyed that "It shouldn't be THIS hard!")

But from day one my mood started to improve. I was getting somewhere. Took me like two hours to migrate my first ant module and the build file was basically nothing. Easily fitted one screen. The big "wow" was: build scripts in xml, how stupid is that? the fact that declaring one dependency takes ONE row is very appealing to me -> you can easily see all dependencies for a certain project on one page. From then on I been on a constant roll, for every problem I faced so far there is a simple and elegant solution. I think these are the reasons:

  • groovy is very intuitive for java developers
  • documentation is great to awesome
  • the flexibility is endless

Now I spend my days trying to think up new features to add to our build process. How sick is that?

Why so red? IntelliJ seems to think every declaration/method cannot be found/resolved

This is if you see Java classes in red and get this error, "Cannot resolve symbol".

If you're importing projects into IntelliJ and none of the above solutions worked for you then give this a try. This is what worked for me when everything else failed.

Go to to your project folder and rename/delete the .idea folder which has the idea settings for your project. This would have been created from your old IntelliJ version. Once you have renamed/deleted the .idea folder, import your project into IntelliJ. You should not see any errors for your Java classes now. Hope this helped.

Submit form using <a> tag

you can do it like this with raw javascript

<html>
    <body>
        <form id="my_form" method="post" action="mailto://[email protected]">
            <a href="javascript:{}" onclick="document.getElementById('my_form').submit();">submit</a>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

For those asking why I have a href element in my anchor tag, its because it's a compulsory part of an anchor tag, it may well work without but it's not to spec. So if you want to guarantee rendering etc you must give the engine a fully formed tag. So the above achieves this. You will see href="#" used sometimes but this is not always wanted as the browser will change the page position.

How to set default vim colorscheme

What was asked for was to set:

  • the 'default', not some other color profile, and

  • 'for all vim sessions', not simply for the current user.

The default colorscheme, "for all vim sessions", is not set simply by adding a line to your ~/.vimrc, as all of the other answers here say, nor is the default set without the word 'default' being there.

So all of the other answers here, so far, get both of these wrong. (lol, how did that happen?)


The correct answer is:

Add a line to your system vim setup file in /etc/vim/ that says

colorscheme default

or using the abbreviation

colo default

but not capitalized as

colo Default

(I suggest using the full, un-abbreviated term 'colorscheme', so that when you look at this years later you'll be able to more easily figure out what that darn thing does. I would also put a comment above it like "Use default colors for vim".)


To append that correctly, first look at your /etc/vim/vimrc file.

At the bottom of mine, I see these lines which include /etc/vim/vimrc.local:

" Source a global configuration file if available
if filereadable("/etc/vim/vimrc.local")
  source /etc/vim/vimrc.local
endif

So you can append this line to either of these two files.

I think the best solution is to append your line to /etc/vim/vimrc.local like this:

colorscheme default


You can easily do that in bash with this line:

$ echo -e "\"Use default colors for vim:\ncolorscheme default"  \
   |  sudo tee -a /etc/vim/vimrc.local

# 
#     NOTE:  This doesn't work:
#
#       $ sudo echo 'colorscheme default'  >> /etc/vim/vimrc.local
#
#     It's the same general idea, and simpler, but because sudo doesn't
#     know how to handle pipes, it fails with a `Permission denied` error.

Also check that you have permission to globally read this file:

sudo chmod 644 /etc/vim/vimrc.local

With $ tail /etc/vim/vimrc.local you should now see these lines:

"Use default colors for vim:
colorscheme default

Writing image to local server

// Request parameters.
const params = {
    'visualFeatures': 'Categories,Description,Adult,Faces',
    'maxCandidates': '2',
    'details': 'Celebrities,Landmarks',
    'language': 'en'
};

const options = {
    uri: uriBase,
    qs: params,
    body: fs.readFileSync(./my_local_image_path.jpg),
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
        'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key' : subscriptionKey
    }
};

request.post(options, (error, response, body) => {
if (error) {
    console.log('Error: ', error);
    return;
}
let jsonString = JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(body), null, '  ');
body = JSON.parse(body);
if (body.code) // err
{
    console.log("AZURE: " + body.message)
}

console.log('Response\n' + jsonString);

What's the canonical way to check for type in Python?

A simple way to check type is to compare it with something whose type you know.

>>> type(b) == type('')
True

How to Serialize a list in java?

As pointed out already, most standard implementations of List are serializable. However you have to ensure that the objects referenced/contained within the list are also serializable.

Remove multiple objects with rm()

Make the list a character vector (not a vector of names)

rm(list = c('temp1','temp2'))

or

rm(temp1, temp2)

Lua string to int

Since lua 5.3 there is a new math.tointeger function for string to integer. Just for integer, no float.

For example:

print(math.tointeger("10.1")) -- nil
print(math.tointeger("10")) -- 10

If you want to convert integer and float, the tonumber function is more appropriate.

C# HttpClient 4.5 multipart/form-data upload

I'm adding a code snippet which shows on how to post a file to an API which has been exposed over DELETE http verb. This is not a common case to upload a file with DELETE http verb but it is allowed. I've assumed Windows NTLM authentication for authorizing the call.

The problem that one might face is that all the overloads of HttpClient.DeleteAsync method have no parameters for HttpContent the way we get it in PostAsync method

var requestUri = new Uri("http://UrlOfTheApi");
using (var streamToPost = new MemoryStream("C:\temp.txt"))
using (var fileStreamContent = new StreamContent(streamToPost))
using (var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler() { UseDefaultCredentials = true })
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler, true))
using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Delete, requestUri))
using (var formDataContent = new MultipartFormDataContent())
{
    formDataContent.Add(fileStreamContent, "myFile", "temp.txt");
    requestMessage.Content = formDataContent;
    var response = httpClient.SendAsync(requestMessage).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        // File upload was successfull
    }
    else
    {
        var erroResult = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
        throw new Exception("Error on the server : " + erroResult);
    }
}

You need below namespaces at the top of your C# file:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Http;

P.S. Sorry about so many using blocks(IDisposable pattern) in my code. Unfortunately, the syntax of using construct of C# doesn't support initializing multiple variables in single statement.

Find and replace specific text characters across a document with JS

As you'll be using jQuery anyway, try:

https://github.com/cowboy/jquery-replacetext

Then just do

$("p").replaceText("£", "$")

It seems to do good job of only replacing text and not messing with other elements

How to inflate one view with a layout

AttachToRoot Set to True

Just think we specified a button in an XML layout file with its layout width and layout height set to match_parent.

<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/custom_button">
</Button>

On This Buttons Click Event We Can Set Following Code to Inflate Layout on This Activity.

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayoutname, this);

Hope this solution works for you.!

PostgreSQL: Resetting password of PostgreSQL on Ubuntu

Assuming you're the administrator of the machine, Ubuntu has granted you the right to sudo to run any command as any user.
Also assuming you did not restrict the rights in the pg_hba.conf file (in the /etc/postgresql/9.1/main directory), it should contain this line as the first rule:

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket  
local   all             postgres                                peer

(About the file location: 9.1 is the major postgres version and main the name of your "cluster". It will differ if using a newer version of postgres or non-default names. Use the pg_lsclusters command to obtain this information for your version/system).

Anyway, if the pg_hba.conf file does not have that line, edit the file, add it, and reload the service with sudo service postgresql reload.

Then you should be able to log in with psql as the postgres superuser with this shell command:

sudo -u postgres psql

Once inside psql, issue the SQL command:

ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'newpassword';

In this command, postgres is the name of a superuser. If the user whose password is forgotten was ritesh, the command would be:

ALTER USER ritesh PASSWORD 'newpassword';

References: PostgreSQL 9.1.13 Documentation, Chapter 19. Client Authentication

Keep in mind that you need to type postgres with a single S at the end

If leaving the password in clear text in the history of commands or the server log is a problem, psql provides an interactive meta-command to avoid that, as an alternative to ALTER USER ... PASSWORD:

\password username

It asks for the password with a double blind input, then hashes it according to the password_encryption setting and issue the ALTER USER command to the server with the hashed version of the password, instead of the clear text version.

Most efficient T-SQL way to pad a varchar on the left to a certain length?

Here is how I would normally pad a varchar

WHILE Len(@String) < 8
BEGIN
    SELECT @String = '0' + @String
END

Why do I get the error "Unsafe code may only appear if compiling with /unsafe"?

Search your code for unsafe blocks or statements. These are only valid is compiled with /unsafe.

Convert String to Calendar Object in Java

Simple method:

public Calendar stringToCalendar(String date, String pattern) throws ParseException {
    String DEFAULT_LOCALE_NAME = "pt";
    String DEFAULT_COUNTRY = "BR";
    Locale DEFAULT_LOCALE = new Locale(DEFAULT_LOCALE_NAME, DEFAULT_COUNTRY);
    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern, LocaleUtils.DEFAULT_LOCALE);
    Date d = format.parse(date);
    Calendar c = getCalendar();
    c.setTime(d);
    return c;
}

Assert a function/method was not called using Mock

Judging from other answers, no one except @rob-kennedy talked about the call_args_list.

It's a powerful tool for that you can implement the exact contrary of MagicMock.assert_called_with()

call_args_list is a list of call objects. Each call object represents a call made on a mocked callable.

>>> from unittest.mock import MagicMock
>>> m = MagicMock()
>>> m.call_args_list
[]
>>> m(42)
<MagicMock name='mock()' id='139675158423872'>
>>> m.call_args_list
[call(42)]
>>> m(42, 30)
<MagicMock name='mock()' id='139675158423872'>
>>> m.call_args_list
[call(42), call(42, 30)]

Consuming a call object is easy, since you can compare it with a tuple of length 2 where the first component is a tuple containing all the positional arguments of the related call, while the second component is a dictionary of the keyword arguments.

>>> ((42,),) in m.call_args_list
True
>>> m(42, foo='bar')
<MagicMock name='mock()' id='139675158423872'>
>>> ((42,), {'foo': 'bar'}) in m.call_args_list
True
>>> m(foo='bar')
<MagicMock name='mock()' id='139675158423872'>
>>> ((), {'foo': 'bar'}) in m.call_args_list
True

So, a way to address the specific problem of the OP is

def test_something():
    with patch('something') as my_var:
        assert ((some, args),) not in my_var.call_args_list

Note that this way, instead of just checking if a mocked callable has been called, via MagicMock.called, you can now check if it has been called with a specific set of arguments.

That's useful. Say you want to test a function that takes a list and call another function, compute(), for each of the value of the list only if they satisfy a specific condition.

You can now mock compute, and test if it has been called on some value but not on others.

Java: How to Indent XML Generated by Transformer

Neither of the suggested solutions worked for me. So I kept on searching for an alternative solution, which ended up being a mixture of the two before mentioned and a third step.

  1. set the indent-number into the transformerfactory
  2. enable the indent in the transformer
  3. wrap the otuputstream with a writer (or bufferedwriter)
//(1)
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
tf.setAttribute("indent-number", new Integer(2));

//(2)
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

//(3)
t.transform(new DOMSource(doc),
new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "utf-8"));

You must do (3) to workaround a "buggy" behavior of the xml handling code.

How to change Maven local repository in eclipse

In general, these answer the question: How to change your user settings file? But the question I wanted answered was how to change my local maven repository location. The answer is that you have to edit settings.xml. If the file does not exist, you have to create it. You set or change the location of the file at Window > Preferences > Maven > User Settings. It's the User Settings entry at

Maven User Settings dialog

It's the second file input; the first with information in it.

If it's not clear, [redacted] should be replaced with the local file path to your .m2 folder.

If you click the "open file" link, it opens the settings.xml file for editing in Eclipse.

If you have no settings.xml file yet, the following will set the local repository to the Windows 10 default value for a user named mdfst13:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                              https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

  <localRepository>C:\Users\mdfst13\.m2\repository</localRepository>
</settings>

You should set this to a value appropriate to your system. I haven't tested it, but I suspect that in Linux, the default value would be /home/mdfst13/.m2/repository. And of course, you probably don't want to set it to the default value. If you are reading this, you probably want to set it to some other value. You could just delete it if you wanted the default.

Credit to this comment by @ejaenv for the name of the element in the settings file: <localRepository>. See Maven — Settings Reference for more information.

Credit to @Ajinkya's answer for specifying the location of the User Settings value in Eclipse Photon.

If you already have a settings.xml file, you should merge this into your existing file. I.e. <settings and <localRepository> should only appear once in the file, and you probably want to retain any settings already there. Or to say that another way, edit any existing local repository entry if it exists or just add that line to the file if it doesn't.

I had to restart Eclipse for it to load data into the new repository. Neither "Update Settings" nor "Reindex" was sufficient.

How to dynamically create a class?

You want to look at CodeDOM. It allows defining code elements and compiling them. Quoting MSDN:

...This object graph can be rendered as source code using a CodeDOM code generator for a supported programming language. The CodeDOM can also be used to compile source code into a binary assembly.

    clearValidation(modalID); //You implement it if you need it. If not, you can remote this line
    $(modalID).on('hidden.bs.modal', function ()

How to send a JSON object over Request with Android?

HttpPost is deprecated by Android Api Level 22. So, Use HttpUrlConnection for further.

public static String makeRequest(String uri, String json) {
    HttpURLConnection urlConnection;
    String url;
    String data = json;
    String result = null;
    try {
        //Connect 
        urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) ((new URL(uri).openConnection()));
        urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
        urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        urlConnection.connect();

        //Write
        OutputStream outputStream = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, "UTF-8"));
        writer.write(data);
        writer.close();
        outputStream.close();

        //Read
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));

        String line = null;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line);
        }

        bufferedReader.close();
        result = sb.toString();

    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return result;
}

Convert Uppercase Letter to Lowercase and First Uppercase in Sentence using CSS

You will not be able to capitalize the first word of each sentence with CSS.

CSS offers text-transform for capitalization, but it only supports capitalize, uppercase and lowercase. None of these will do what you want. You can make use of the selector :first-letter, which will apply any style to the first letter of an element - but not of the subsequent ones.

p {
    text-transform: lowercase;
}
p:first-letter {
    text-transform: capitalize;
}
<p>SAMPLE TEXT. SOME SENTENCE. SOMETHING ELSE</p>
<!-- will become this:
Sample text. some sentence. something else. -->

That is not what you want (and :first-letter is not cross-browser compatible... IE again).
The only way to do what you want is with a kind of programming language (serverside or clientside), like Javascript or PHP. In PHP you have the ucwords function (documented here), which just like CSS capitalizes each letter of each word, but doing some programming magic (check out the comments of the documentation for references), you are able to achieve capitalization of each first letter of each sentence.

The easier solution and you might not want to do PHP is using Javascript. Check out the following page - Capital Letters - for a full blown Javascript example of doing exactly what you want. The Javascript is pretty short and does the capitalization with some String manipulation - you will have no problem adjusting the capitalize-sentences.js to your needs.

In any case: Capitalization should usually be done in the content itself not via Javascript or markup languages. Consider cleaning up your content (your texts) with other means. Microsoft Word for example has built in functions to do just what you want.

Facebook share link - can you customize the message body text?

Like @Ardee said you sharer.php uses data from the meta tags, the Dialog API accepts parameters. Facebook have removed the ability to use the message parameter but you can use the quote parameter which can be useful in a lot of cases e.g.

enter image description here

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?
app_id=[your-app-id]
&display=popup
&title=This+is+the+title+parameter
&description=This+is+the+description+parameter
&quote=This+is+the+quote+parameter
&caption=This+is+the+caption+parameter
&href=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2F
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.[url-in-your-accepted-list].com

Just have to create an app id:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/register

Then make sure the redirect url domain is listed in the accepted domains for that app.

Regular expression - starting and ending with a character string

^wp.*\.php$ Should do the trick.

The .* means "any character, repeated 0 or more times". The next . is escaped because it's a special character, and you want a literal period (".php"). Don't forget that if you're typing this in as a literal string in something like C#, Java, etc., you need to escape the backslash because it's a special character in many literal strings.

What are access specifiers? Should I inherit with private, protected or public?

what are Access Specifiers?

There are 3 access specifiers for a class/struct/Union in C++. These access specifiers define how the members of the class can be accessed. Of course, any member of a class is accessible within that class(Inside any member function of that same class). Moving ahead to type of access specifiers, they are:

Public - The members declared as Public are accessible from outside the Class through an object of the class.

Protected - The members declared as Protected are accessible from outside the class BUT only in a class derived from it.

Private - These members are only accessible from within the class. No outside Access is allowed.

An Source Code Example:

class MyClass
{
    public:
        int a;
    protected:
        int b;
    private:
        int c;
};

int main()
{
    MyClass obj;
    obj.a = 10;     //Allowed
    obj.b = 20;     //Not Allowed, gives compiler error
    obj.c = 30;     //Not Allowed, gives compiler error
}

Inheritance and Access Specifiers

Inheritance in C++ can be one of the following types:

  • Private Inheritance
  • Public Inheritance
  • Protected inheritance

Here are the member access rules with respect to each of these:

First and most important rule Private members of a class are never accessible from anywhere except the members of the same class.

Public Inheritance:

All Public members of the Base Class become Public Members of the derived class &
All Protected members of the Base Class become Protected Members of the Derived Class.

i.e. No change in the Access of the members. The access rules we discussed before are further then applied to these members.

Code Example:

Class Base
{
    public:
        int a;
    protected:
        int b;
    private:
        int c;
};

class Derived:public Base
{
    void doSomething()
    {
        a = 10;  //Allowed 
        b = 20;  //Allowed
        c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    }
};

int main()
{
    Derived obj;
    obj.a = 10;  //Allowed
    obj.b = 20;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    obj.c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error

}

Private Inheritance:

All Public members of the Base Class become Private Members of the Derived class &
All Protected members of the Base Class become Private Members of the Derived Class.

An code Example:

Class Base
{
    public:
      int a;
    protected:
      int b;
    private:
      int c;
};

class Derived:private Base   //Not mentioning private is OK because for classes it  defaults to private 
{
    void doSomething()
    {
        a = 10;  //Allowed 
        b = 20;  //Allowed
        c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    }
};

class Derived2:public Derived
{
    void doSomethingMore()
    {
        a = 10;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error, a is private member of Derived now
        b = 20;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error, b is private member of Derived now
        c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    }
};

int main()
{
    Derived obj;
    obj.a = 10;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    obj.b = 20;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    obj.c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error

}

Protected Inheritance:

All Public members of the Base Class become Protected Members of the derived class &
All Protected members of the Base Class become Protected Members of the Derived Class.

A Code Example:

Class Base
{
    public:
        int a;
    protected:
        int b;
    private:
        int c;
};

class Derived:protected Base  
{
    void doSomething()
    {
        a = 10;  //Allowed 
        b = 20;  //Allowed
        c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    }
};

class Derived2:public Derived
{
    void doSomethingMore()
    {
        a = 10;  //Allowed, a is protected member inside Derived & Derived2 is public derivation from Derived, a is now protected member of Derived2
        b = 20;  //Allowed, b is protected member inside Derived & Derived2 is public derivation from Derived, b is now protected member of Derived2
        c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    }
};

int main()
{
    Derived obj;
    obj.a = 10;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    obj.b = 20;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
    obj.c = 30;  //Not Allowed, Compiler Error
}

Remember the same access rules apply to the classes and members down the inheritance hierarchy.


Important points to note:

- Access Specification is per-Class not per-Object

Note that the access specification C++ work on per-Class basis and not per-object basis.
A good example of this is that in a copy constructor or Copy Assignment operator function, all the members of the object being passed can be accessed.

- A Derived class can only access members of its own Base class

Consider the following code example:

class Myclass
{ 
    protected: 
       int x; 
}; 

class derived : public Myclass
{
    public: 
        void f( Myclass& obj ) 
        { 
            obj.x = 5; 
        } 
};

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

It gives an compilation error:

prog.cpp:4: error: ‘int Myclass::x’ is protected

Because the derived class can only access members of its own Base Class. Note that the object obj being passed here is no way related to the derived class function in which it is being accessed, it is an altogether different object and hence derived member function cannot access its members.


What is a friend? How does friend affect access specification rules?

You can declare a function or class as friend of another class. When you do so the access specification rules do not apply to the friended class/function. The class or function can access all the members of that particular class.

So do friends break Encapsulation?

No they don't, On the contrary they enhance Encapsulation!

friendship is used to indicate a intentional strong coupling between two entities.
If there exists a special relationship between two entities such that one needs access to others private or protected members but You do not want everyone to have access by using the public access specifier then you should use friendship.

Is double square brackets [[ ]] preferable over single square brackets [ ] in Bash?

[[ has fewer surprises and is generally safer to use. But it is not portable - POSIX doesn't specify what it does and only some shells support it (beside bash, I heard ksh supports it too). For example, you can do

[[ -e $b ]]

to test whether a file exists. But with [, you have to quote $b, because it splits the argument and expands things like "a*" (where [[ takes it literally). That has also to do with how [ can be an external program and receives its argument just normally like every other program (although it can also be a builtin, but then it still has not this special handling).

[[ also has some other nice features, like regular expression matching with =~ along with operators like they are known in C-like languages. Here is a good page about it: What is the difference between test, [ and [[ ? and Bash Tests

Python unicode equal comparison failed

You may use the == operator to compare unicode objects for equality.

>>> s1 = u'Hello'
>>> s2 = unicode("Hello")
>>> type(s1), type(s2)
(<type 'unicode'>, <type 'unicode'>)
>>> s1==s2
True
>>> 
>>> s3='Hello'.decode('utf-8')
>>> type(s3)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> s1==s3
True
>>> 

But, your error message indicates that you aren't comparing unicode objects. You are probably comparing a unicode object to a str object, like so:

>>> u'Hello' == 'Hello'
True
>>> u'Hello' == '\x81\x01'
__main__:1: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
False

See how I have attempted to compare a unicode object against a string which does not represent a valid UTF8 encoding.

Your program, I suppose, is comparing unicode objects with str objects, and the contents of a str object is not a valid UTF8 encoding. This seems likely the result of you (the programmer) not knowing which variable holds unicide, which variable holds UTF8 and which variable holds the bytes read in from a file.

I recommend http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html, especially the advice to create a "Unicode Sandwich."

string = string.trim().replace(/\s+/g, ' ');

the result will be

string 1

What happened here is that it will trim the outside spaces first using trim() then trim the inside spaces using .replace(/\s+/g, ' ').

How can you zip or unzip from the script using ONLY Windows' built-in capabilities?

I've been looking to answer this exact question and from my research, DiryBoy's response seems to be accurate.

I found the compact.exe program compresses files but not to create a highly compressed file (or set of files). It is similar to the option you get when right clicking on a drive letter or partition in Windows. You get the option to do cleanup (remove temp files, etc) as well as compress files. The compressed files are still accessible but are just compressed to create space on a drive that is low on space.

I also found compress.exe which I did happen to have on my computer. It isn't natively on most windows machines and is part of the 2003 resource kit. It does make a zipped file of sorts but it is really more similar to files from a windows setup disk (has the underscore as the last character of the file extension or name). And the extract.exe command extracts those files.

However, the mantra is, if it can be done natively via the GUI then there is likely a way to do it via batch, .vbs, or some other type of script within the command line. Since windows has had the 'send to' option to create a zip file, I knew there had to be a way to do it via command line and I found some options.

Here is a great link that shows how to zip a file using windows native commands.

https://superuser.com/questions/110991/can-you-zip-a-file-from-the-command-prompt-using-only-windows-built-in-capabili

I tested it with a directory containing multiple nested files and folders and it worked perfectly. Just follow the format of the command line.

There is also a way to unzip the files via command line which I found as well. One way, just brings open an explorer window showing what the content of the zipped file is. Some of these also use Java which isn't necessarily native to windows but is so common that it nearly seems so.

Java Program to test if a character is uppercase/lowercase/number/vowel

In Java : Character class has static method called isLowerCase(Char ch) ans isUpperCase(Char ch) , Character.isDigit(Char ch)gives you Boolean value, base on that you can easily achieve your task

example:

String abc = "HomePage";

char ch = abc.charAt(i); // here i= 1,2,3......

if(Character.isLowerCase(ch))
{
   // do something :  ch is in lower case
}

if(Character.isUpperCase(ch))
{
   // do something : ch is in Upper case
}

if(Character.isDigit(ch))
{
  // do something : ch is in Number / Digit
}

Using a Loop to add objects to a list(python)

Auto-incrementing the index in a loop:

myArr[(len(myArr)+1)]={"key":"val"}

package javax.servlet.http does not exist

Your CLASSPATH variable does not point to the directory containing the javax classes. The CLASSPATH variable specifies where the java compiler should look for java class file resources. If it does not know to look in the javax directory, then it will never find the file(s) you are after.

How can I list all tags for a Docker image on a remote registry?

I have done this thing when I have to implement a task in which if user somehow type the wrong tag then we have to give the list of all the tag present in the repo(Docker repo) present in the register. So I have code in batch Script.

<html>
<pre style="background-color:#bcbbbb;">
@echo off

docker login --username=xxxx --password=xxxx
docker pull %1:%2

IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
echo "Specified Version is Not Found "
echo "Available Version for this image is :"
for /f %%i in (' curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d "{\"username\":\"user\",\"password\":\"password\"}" https://hub.docker.com/v2/users/login ^|jq -r .token ') do set TOKEN=%%i
curl -sH "Authorization: JWT %TOKEN%" "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/%1/tags/" | jq .results[].name
)
</pre>
</html>

So in this we can give arguments to out batch file like:

Dockerfile java version7 

Why is my CSS bundling not working with a bin deployed MVC4 app?

Another thing to consider is the references cannot have the same name. For example, if you have jQuery UI in the libraries directory, and bundle its JavaScript file like so:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/libraries").Include("~/libraries/jquery-ui/jqyery-ui.js"));

and then try to bundle its CSS files like so:

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/libraries").Include("~/libraries/jquery-ui/jqyery-ui.css"));
...

it will fail. They have to have unique names. So do something like ScriptBundle("~/libraries/js")... and ScriptBundle("~/libraries/css")... or whatever.

Facebook API: Get fans of / people who like a page

There is a "way" to get some part of fan list with their profile ids of some fanpage without token.

  1. Get id of a fanpage with public graph data: http://graph.facebook.com/cocacola - Coca-Cola has 40796308305. UPDATE 2016.04.30: Facebook now requires access token to get page_id through graph so you can parse fanpage HTML syntax to get this id without any authorization from https://www.facebook.com/{PAGENAME} as in example below based on og tags present on the fanpage.
  2. Get Coca-Cola's "like plugin" iframe display directly with some modified params: http://www.facebook.com/plugins/fan.php?connections=100&id=40796308305
  3. Now check the page sources, there are a lot of fans with links to their profiles, where you can find their profile ids or nicknames like: http://www.facebook.com/michal.semeniuk .
  4. If you are interested only in profile ids use the graph api again - it will give you profile id directly: http://graph.facebook.com/michal.semeniuk UPDATE 2016.04.30: Facebook now requires access token to get such info. You can parse profile HTML syntax, just like in the first step meta tag is your best friend: <meta property="al:android:url" content="fb://profile/{PROFILE_ID}" />

And now is the best part: try to refresh (F5) the link in point 2.. There is a new full set of another fans of Coca-Cola. Take only uniques and you will be able to get some nice, almost full list of fans.

-- UPDATE 2013.08.06 --

Why don't you use my ready PHP script to fetch some fans? :)

UPDATE 2016.04.30: Updated example script to use new methods after Facebook started to require access token to get public data from graph api.

function fetch_fb_fans($fanpage_name, $no_of_retries = 10, $pause = 500000 /* 500ms */){

    // get page id from facebook html og tags for mobile apps
    $fanpage_html = file_get_contents('https://www.facebook.com/' . $fanpage_name, false, $context);
    if(!preg_match('{fb://page/(\d+)}', $fanpage_html, $id_matches)){
        // invalid fanpage name
        return $ret;
    }
    $url = 'http://www.facebook.com/plugins/fan.php?connections=100&id=' . $id_matches[1];
    for($a = 0; $a < $no_of_retries; $a++){
        $like_html = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
        preg_match_all('{href="https?://www\.facebook\.com/([a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+)" class="link" data-jsid="anchor" target="_blank"}', $like_html, $matches);
        if(empty($matches[1])){
            // failed to fetch any fans - convert returning array, cause it might be not empty
            return array_keys($ret);
        }else{
            // merge profiles as array keys so they will stay unique
            $ret = array_merge($ret, array_flip($matches[1]));
        }
        // don't get banned as flooder
        usleep($pause);
    }
    return array_keys($ret);
}

print_r(fetch_fb_fans('TigerPolska', 2, 400000));

Position absolute but relative to parent

If you don't give any position to parent then by default it takes static. If you want to understand that difference refer to this example

Example 1::

http://jsfiddle.net/Cr9KB/1/

   #mainall
{

    background-color:red;
    height:150px;
    overflow:scroll
}

Here parent class has no position so element is placed according to body.

Example 2::

http://jsfiddle.net/Cr9KB/2/

#mainall
{
    position:relative;
    background-color:red;
    height:150px;
    overflow:scroll
}

In this example parent has relative position hence element are positioned absolute inside relative parent.

How to store arbitrary data for some HTML tags

You could use hidden input tags. I get no validation errors at w3.org with this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang='en' xml:lang='en' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" />
    <title>Hello</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <a class="article" href="link/for/non-js-users.html">
        <input style="display: none" name="articleid" type="hidden" value="5" />
      </a>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

With jQuery you'd get the article ID with something like (not tested):

$('.article input[name=articleid]').val();

But I'd recommend HTML5 if that is an option.

Scanner is skipping nextLine() after using next() or nextFoo()?

The problem is with the input.nextInt() method - it only reads the int value. So when you continue reading with input.nextLine() you receive the "\n" Enter key. So to skip this you have to add the input.nextLine(). Hope this should be clear now.

Try it like that:

System.out.print("Insert a number: ");
int number = input.nextInt();
input.nextLine(); // This line you have to add (It consumes the \n character)
System.out.print("Text1: ");
String text1 = input.nextLine();
System.out.print("Text2: ");
String text2 = input.nextLine();

How to Deep clone in javascript

The JSON.parse(JSON.stringify()) combination to deep copy Javascript objects is an ineffective hack, as it was meant for JSON data. It does not support values of undefined or function () {}, and will simply ignore them (or null them) when "stringifying" (marshalling) the Javascript object into JSON.

A better solution is to use a deep copy function. The function below deep copies objects, and does not require a 3rd party library (jQuery, LoDash, etc).

function copy(aObject) {
  if (!aObject) {
    return aObject;
  }

  let v;
  let bObject = Array.isArray(aObject) ? [] : {};
  for (const k in aObject) {
    v = aObject[k];
    bObject[k] = (typeof v === "object") ? copy(v) : v;
  }

  return bObject;
}

How to check a string for a special character?

Everyone else's method doesn't account for whitespaces. Obviously nobody really considers a whitespace a special character.

Use this method to detect special characters not including whitespaces:

import re

def detect_special_characer(pass_string): 
  regex= re.compile('[@_!#$%^&*()<>?/\|}{~:]') 
  if(regex.search(pass_string) == None): 
    res = False
  else: 
    res = True
  return(res)

What's the best practice using a settings file in Python?

The sample config you provided is actually valid YAML. In fact, YAML meets all of your demands, is implemented in a large number of languages, and is extremely human friendly. I would highly recommend you use it. The PyYAML project provides a nice python module, that implements YAML.

To use the yaml module is extremely simple:

import yaml
config = yaml.safe_load(open("path/to/config.yml"))

How to jQuery clone() and change id?

  // Read the Number from that DIV's ID (i.e: 3 from "klon3")
  // And increment that number by 1
  var num = parseInt( $div.prop("id").match(/\d+/g), 10 ) +1;

  // Clone it and assign the new ID (i.e: from num 4 to ID "klon4")
  var $klon = $div.clone().prop('id', 'klon'+num );

  // Finally insert $klon wherever you want
  $div.after( $klon.text('klon'+num) );

});

convert a list of objects from one type to another using lambda expression

If you need to use a function to cast:

var list2 = new List<Type2>();

list2 = list1.ConvertAll(x => myConvertFuntion(x));

Where my custom function is:

private Type2 myConvertFunction(Type1 obj){
   //do something to cast Type1 into Type2
   return new Type2();
}

How to remove leading and trailing white spaces from a given html string?

I know this is a very old question but it still doesn't have an accepted answer. I see that you want the following removed: html tags that are "empty" and white spaces based on an html string.

I have come up with a solution based on your comment for the output you are looking for:

Trimming using JavaScript<br /><br /><br /><br />all leading and trailing white spaces 

_x000D_
_x000D_
var str = "<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div>&nbsp;</div>Trimming using JavaScript<br /><br /><br /><br />all leading and trailing white spaces<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div>&nbsp;</div>";_x000D_
console.log(str.trim().replace(/&nbsp;/g, '').replace(/<[^\/>][^>]*><\/[^>]+>/g, ""));
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

.trim() removes leading and trailing whitespace

.replace(/&nbsp;/g, '') removes &nbsp;

.replace(/<[^\/>][^>]*><\/[^>]+>/g, "")); removes empty tags

Java - creating a new thread

You need to do two things:

  • Start the thread
  • Wait for the thread to finish (die) before proceeding

ie

one.start();
one.join();

If you don't start() it, nothing will happen - creating a Thread doesn't execute it.

If you don't join) it, your main thread may finish and exit and the whole program exit before the other thread has been scheduled to execute. It's indeterminate whether it runs or not if you don't join it. The new thread may usually run, but may sometimes not run. Better to be certain.

Is there an "exists" function for jQuery?

this is very similar to all of the answers, but why not use the ! operator twice so you can get a boolean:

}

How to force uninstallation of windows service

I am late, but would like to add an alternative, which may look strange, but I didn't see another way:

As I install my Windows Services in a CI process each night, I needed something that works all the time and is completely automated. For some reason, the services were always marked for deletion for a long time (5 minutes or more) after uninstalling them. Therefore, I extended the reinstallation batch script to make sure that the service is really deleted (simplified version):

REM Stop the service first
net stop My-Socket-Server

REM Same as installutil.exe, just implemented in the service
My.Socket.Server.exe /u

:loop1
    REM Easy way to wait for 5 seconds
    ping 192.0.2.2 -n 1 -w 5000 > nul
    sc delete My-Socket-Server
    echo %date% %time%: Trying to delete service.
    if errorlevel 1072 goto :loop1

REM Just for output purposes, typically I get that the service does not exist
sc query My-Socket-Server

REM Installing the new service, same as installutil.exe but in code
My.Socket.Server.exe /i

REM Start the new service
net start My-Socket-Server

What I can see, is that the service is marked for deletion for about 5 minutes (!) until it finally goes through. Finally, I don't need any more manual interventions. I will extend the script in the future so that something happens after a certain time (e.g. notification after 30 minutes).

How to unsubscribe to a broadcast event in angularJS. How to remove function registered via $on

You need to store the returned function and call it to unsubscribe from the event.

var deregisterListener = $scope.$on("onViewUpdated", callMe);
deregisterListener (); // this will deregister that listener

This is found in the source code :) at least in 1.0.4. I'll just post the full code since it's short

/**
  * @param {string} name Event name to listen on.
  * @param {function(event)} listener Function to call when the event is emitted.
  * @returns {function()} Returns a deregistration function for this listener.
  */
$on: function(name, listener) {
    var namedListeners = this.$$listeners[name];
    if (!namedListeners) {
      this.$$listeners[name] = namedListeners = [];
    }
    namedListeners.push(listener);

    return function() {
      namedListeners[indexOf(namedListeners, listener)] = null;
    };
},

Also, see the docs.

get data from mysql database to use in javascript

Probably the easiest way to do it is to have a php file return JSON. So let's say you have a file query.php,

$result = mysql_query("SELECT field_name, field_value
                       FROM the_table");
$to_encode = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  $to_encode[] = $row;
}
echo json_encode($to_encode);

If you're constrained to using document.write (as you note in the comments below) then give your fields an id attribute like so: <input type="text" id="field1" />. You can reference that field with this jQuery: $("#field1").val().

Here's a complete example with the HTML. If we're assuming your fields are called field1 and field2, then

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>That's about it</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form>
      <input type="text" id="field1" />
      <input type="text" id="field2" />
    </form>
  </body>
  <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    $.getJSON('data.php', function(data) {
      $.each(data, function(fieldName, fieldValue) {
        $("#" + fieldName).val(fieldValue);
      });
    });
  </script>
</html>

That's insertion after the HTML has been constructed, which might be easiest. If you mean to populate data while you're dynamically constructing the HTML, then you'd still want the PHP file to return JSON, you would just add it directly into the value attribute.

How do I remove leading whitespace in Python?

The question doesn't address multiline strings, but here is how you would strip leading whitespace from a multiline string using python's standard library textwrap module. If we had a string like:

s = """
    line 1 has 4 leading spaces
    line 2 has 4 leading spaces
    line 3 has 4 leading spaces
"""

if we print(s) we would get output like:

>>> print(s)
    this has 4 leading spaces 1
    this has 4 leading spaces 2
    this has 4 leading spaces 3

and if we used textwrap.dedent:

>>> import textwrap
>>> print(textwrap.dedent(s))
this has 4 leading spaces 1
this has 4 leading spaces 2
this has 4 leading spaces 3

Match multiline text using regular expression

This has nothing to do with the MULTILINE flag; what you're seeing is the difference between the find() and matches() methods. find() succeeds if a match can be found anywhere in the target string, while matches() expects the regex to match the entire string.

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("xyz");

Matcher m = p.matcher("123xyzabc");
System.out.println(m.find());    // true
System.out.println(m.matches()); // false

Matcher m = p.matcher("xyz");
System.out.println(m.matches()); // true

Furthermore, MULTILINE doesn't mean what you think it does. Many people seem to jump to the conclusion that you have to use that flag if your target string contains newlines--that is, if it contains multiple logical lines. I've seen several answers here on SO to that effect, but in fact, all that flag does is change the behavior of the anchors, ^ and $.

Normally ^ matches the very beginning of the target string, and $ matches the very end (or before a newline at the end, but we'll leave that aside for now). But if the string contains newlines, you can choose for ^ and $ to match at the start and end of any logical line, not just the start and end of the whole string, by setting the MULTILINE flag.

So forget about what MULTILINE means and just remember what it does: changes the behavior of the ^ and $ anchors. DOTALL mode was originally called "single-line" (and still is in some flavors, including Perl and .NET), and it has always caused similar confusion. We're fortunate that the Java devs went with the more descriptive name in that case, but there was no reasonable alternative for "multiline" mode.

In Perl, where all this madness started, they've admitted their mistake and gotten rid of both "multiline" and "single-line" modes in Perl 6 regexes. In another twenty years, maybe the rest of the world will have followed suit.

How can I clone a JavaScript object except for one key?

Hey seems like you run in to reference issues when you're trying to copy an object then deleting a property. Somewhere you have to assign primitive variables so javascript makes a new value.

Simple trick (may be horrendous) I used was this

var obj = {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2","key3":"value3"};

// assign it as a new variable for javascript to cache
var copy = JSON.stringify(obj);
// reconstitute as an object
copy = JSON.parse(copy);
// now you can safely run delete on the copy with completely new values
delete copy.key2

console.log(obj)
// output: {key1: "value1", key2: "value2", key3: "value3"}
console.log(copy)
// output: {key1: "value1", key3: "value3"}

Automatically create requirements.txt

Make sure to run pip3 for python3.7.

pip3 freeze >> yourfile.txt

Before executing the above command make sure you have created a virtual environment.

python3:

pip3 install virtualenv
python3 -m venv <myenvname> 

python2:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <myenvname>

After that put your source code in the directory. If you run the python file now, probably it won't launch if you are using non-native modules. You can install those modules by running pip3 install <module> or pip install <module>.

This will not affect you entire module list except the environment you are in.

Now you can execute the command at the top and now you have a requirements file which contains only the modules you installed in the virtual environment. Now you can run the command at the top.

I advise everyone to use environments as it makes things easier when it comes to stuff like this.

How to get first and last element in an array in java?

This is the given array.

    int myIntegerNumbers[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};

// If you want print the last element in the array.

    int lastNumerOfArray= myIntegerNumbers[9];
    Log.i("MyTag", lastNumerOfArray + "");

// If you want to print the number of element in the array.

    Log.i("MyTag", "The number of elements inside" +
            "the array " +myIntegerNumbers.length);

// Second method to print the last element inside the array.

    Log.i("MyTag", "The last elements inside " +

Scroll to a div using jquery

First, your code does not contain a contact div, it has a contacts div!

In sidebar you have contact in the div at the bottom of the page you have contacts. I removed the final s for the code sample. (you also misspelled the projectslink id in the sidebar).

Second, take a look at some of the examples for click on the jQuery reference page. You have to use click like, object.click( function() { // Your code here } ); in order to bind a click event handler to the object.... Like in my example below. As an aside, you can also just trigger a click on an object by using it without arguments, like object.click().

Third, scrollTo is a plugin in jQuery. I don't know if you have the plugin installed. You can't use scrollTo() without the plugin. In this case, the functionality you desire is only 2 lines of code, so I see no reason to use the plugin.

Ok, now on to a solution.

The code below will scroll to the correct div if you click a link in the sidebar. The window does have to be big enough to allow scrolling:

// This is a functions that scrolls to #{blah}link
function goToByScroll(id) {
    // Remove "link" from the ID
    id = id.replace("link", "");
    // Scroll
    $('html,body').animate({
        scrollTop: $("#" + id).offset().top
    }, 'slow');
}

$("#sidebar > ul > li > a").click(function(e) {
    // Prevent a page reload when a link is pressed
    e.preventDefault();
    // Call the scroll function
    goToByScroll(this.id);
});

Live Example

( Scroll to function taken from here )


PS: Obviously you should have a compelling reason to go this route instead of using anchor tags <a href="#gohere">blah</a> ... <a name="gohere">blah title</a>

What's the difference between process.cwd() vs __dirname?

Knowing the scope of each can make things easier to remember.

process is node's global object, and .cwd() returns where node is running.

__dirname is module's property, and represents the file path of the module. In node, one module resides in one file.

Similarly, __filename is another module's property, which holds the file name of the module.

What's the environment variable for the path to the desktop?

I know this is kind of an old topic, but I would use the Powershell variable

$env:UserProfile

This works both locally and remotely on windows 7. Hope this is useful as I ran across a situation where a client machine didn't have a value in $home.

Pointer to a string in C?

The same notation is used for pointing at a single character or the first character of a null-terminated string:

char c = 'Z';
char a[] = "Hello world";

char *ptr1 = &c;
char *ptr2 = a;      // Points to the 'H' of "Hello world"
char *ptr3 = &a[0];  // Also points to the 'H' of "Hello world"
char *ptr4 = &a[6];  // Points to the 'w' of "world"
char *ptr5 = a + 6;  // Also points to the 'w' of "world"

The values in ptr2 and ptr3 are the same; so are the values in ptr4 and ptr5. If you're going to treat some data as a string, it is important to make sure it is null terminated, and that you know how much space there is for you to use. Many problems are caused by not understanding what space is available and not knowing whether the string was properly null terminated.

Note that all the pointers above can be dereferenced as if they were an array:

 *ptr1    == 'Z'
  ptr1[0] == 'Z'

 *ptr2    == 'H'
  ptr2[0] == 'H'
  ptr2[4] == 'o'

 *ptr4    == 'w'
  ptr4[0] == 'w'
  ptr4[4] == 'd'

  ptr5[0] ==   ptr3[6]
*(ptr5+0) == *(ptr3+6)

Late addition to question

What does char (*ptr)[N]; represent?

This is a more complex beastie altogether. It is a pointer to an array of N characters. The type is quite different; the way it is used is quite different; the size of the object pointed to is quite different.

char (*ptr)[12] = &a;

(*ptr)[0] == 'H'
(*ptr)[6] == 'w'

*(*ptr + 6) == 'w'

Note that ptr + 1 points to undefined territory, but points 'one array of 12 bytes' beyond the start of a. Given a slightly different scenario:

char b[3][12] = { "Hello world", "Farewell", "Au revoir" };

char (*pb)[12] = &b[0];

Now:

(*(pb+0))[0] == 'H'
(*(pb+1))[0] == 'F'
(*(pb+2))[5] == 'v'

You probably won't come across pointers to arrays except by accident for quite some time; I've used them a few times in the last 25 years, but so few that I can count the occasions on the fingers of one hand (and several of those have been answering questions on Stack Overflow). Beyond knowing that they exist, that they are the result of taking the address of an array, and that you probably didn't want it, you don't really need to know more about pointers to arrays.

Position: absolute and parent height?

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, then I don't think this is possible with CSS while keeping the children absolutely positioned.

Absolutely positioned elements are completely removed from the document flow, and thus their dimensions cannot alter the dimensions of their parents.

If you really had to achieve this affect while keeping the children as position: absolute, you could do so with JavaScript by finding the height of the absolutely positioned children after they have rendered, and using that to set the height of the parent.

Alternatively, just use float: left/float:right and margins to get the same positioning effect while keeping the children in the document flow, you can then use overflow: hidden on the parent (or any other clearfix technique) to cause its height to expand to that of its children.

article {
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.one {
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    background: red;
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
}

.two {
    position: relative;
    float: right;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    background: blue;
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
}

How can I install a CPAN module into a local directory?

Other answers already on Stackoverflow:

From perlfaq8:


How do I keep my own module/library directory?

When you build modules, tell Perl where to install the modules.

For Makefile.PL-based distributions, use the INSTALL_BASE option when generating Makefiles:

perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/mydir/perl

You can set this in your CPAN.pm configuration so modules automatically install in your private library directory when you use the CPAN.pm shell:

% cpan
cpan> o conf makepl_arg INSTALL_BASE=/mydir/perl
cpan> o conf commit

For Build.PL-based distributions, use the --install_base option:

perl Build.PL --install_base /mydir/perl

You can configure CPAN.pm to automatically use this option too:

% cpan
cpan> o conf mbuildpl_arg '--install_base /mydir/perl'
cpan> o conf commit

Not able to start Genymotion device

This problem keeps cropping up intermittently on my computer and usually, it happens when my computer is running low on system resources (mostly available RAM) and a sure-fire way to fix this (this at least has always worked for me) is to disable the VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapter and re-enable it.

If you have multiple virtual adapters, you'll have to find out which of those is used by Genymotion's virtual device and disable and re-enable it. You can find that out by starting VirtualBox and looking here: screenshot of VirtualBox running a Genymotion virtual device

You can read about enabling/disabling virtual adapters here

How to get a jqGrid selected row cells value

First you can get the rowid of the selected row with respect of getGridParam method and 'selrow' as the parameter and then you can use getCell to get the cell value from the corresponding column:

var myGrid = $('#list'),
    selRowId = myGrid.jqGrid ('getGridParam', 'selrow'),
    celValue = myGrid.jqGrid ('getCell', selRowId, 'columnName');

The 'columnName' should be the same name which you use in the 'name' property of the colModel. If you need values from many column of the selected row you can use getRowData instead of getCell.

How many bits is a "word"?

On x86/x64 processors, a byte is 8 bits, and there are 256 possible binary states in 8 bits, 0 thru 255. This is how the OS translates your keyboard key strokes into letters on the screen. When you press the 'A' key, the keyboard sends a binary signal equal to the number 97 to the computer, and the computer prints a lowercase 'a' on the screen. You can confirm this in any Windows text editing software by holding an ALT key, typing 97 on the NUMPAD, then releasing the ALT key. If you replace '97' with any number from 0 to 255, you will see the character associated with that number on the system's character code page printed on the screen.

If a character is 8 bits, or 1 byte, then a WORD must be at least 2 characters, so 16 bits or 2 bytes. Traditionally, you might think of a word as a varying number of characters, but in a computer, everything that is calculable is based on static rules. Besides, a computer doesn't know what letters and symbols are, it only knows how to count numbers. So, in computer language, if a WORD is equal to 2 characters, then a double-word, or DWORD, is 2 WORDs, which is the same as 4 characters or bytes, which is equal to 32 bits. Furthermore, a quad-word, or QWORD, is 2 DWORDs, same as 4 WORDs, 8 characters, or 64 bits.

Note that these terms are limited in function to the Windows API for developers, but may appear in other circumstances (eg. the Linux dd command uses numerical suffixes to compound byte and block sizes, where c is 1 byte and w is bytes).

Find a file in python

In Python 3.4 or newer you can use pathlib to do recursive globbing:

[PosixPath('build/lib/pathlib.py'),
 PosixPath('docs/conf.py'),
 PosixPath('pathlib.py'),
 PosixPath('setup.py'),
 PosixPath('test_pathlib.py')]

Reference: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.glob

In Python 3.5 or newer you can also do recursive globbing like this:

>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('**/*.txt', recursive=True)
['2.txt', 'sub/3.txt']

How to handle button clicks using the XML onClick within Fragments

I've recently solved this issue without having to add a method to the context Activity or having to implement OnClickListener. I'm not sure if it is a "valid" solution neither, but it works.

Based on: https://developer.android.com/tools/data-binding/guide.html#binding_events

It can be done with data bindings: Just add your fragment instance as a variable, then you can link any method with onClick.

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context="com.example.testapp.fragments.CustomFragment">

    <data>
        <variable android:name="fragment" android:type="com.example.testapp.fragments.CustomFragment"/>
    </data>
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_place_black_24dp"
            android:onClick="@{() -> fragment.buttonClicked()}"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</layout>

And the fragment linking code would be...

public class CustomFragment extends Fragment {

    ...

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_person_profile, container, false);
        FragmentCustomBinding binding = DataBindingUtil.bind(view);
        binding.setFragment(this);
        return view;
    }

    ...

}

Correct way to populate an Array with a Range in Ruby

This works for me in irb:

irb> (1..4).to_a
=> [1, 2, 3, 4]

I notice that:

irb> 1..4.to_a
(irb):1: warning: default `to_a' will be obsolete
ArgumentError: bad value for range
        from (irb):1

So perhaps you are missing the parentheses?

What is the C++ function to raise a number to a power?

I don't have enough reputation to comment, but if you like working with QT, they have their own version.

    #include <QtCore/qmath.h>
    qPow(x, y); // returns x raised to the y power.

Or if you aren't using QT, cmath has basically the same thing.

    #include <cmath>
    double x = 5, y = 7; //As an example, 5 ^ 7 = 78125
    pow(x, y); //Should return this: 78125

Convert UTF-8 with BOM to UTF-8 with no BOM in Python

I found this question because having trouble with configparser.ConfigParser().read(fp) when opening files with UTF8 BOM header.

For those who are looking for a solution to remove the header so that ConfigPhaser could open the config file instead of reporting an error of: File contains no section headers, please open the file like the following:

configparser.ConfigParser().read(config_file_path, encoding="utf-8-sig")

This could save you tons of effort by making the remove of the BOM header of the file unnecessary.

(I know this sounds unrelated, but hopefully this could help people struggling like me.)

How can I solve "Non-static method xxx:xxx() should not be called statically in PHP 5.4?

I don't suggest you just hidding the stricts errors on your project. Intead, you should turn your method to static or try to creat a new instance of the object:

$var = new YourClass();
$var->method();

You can also use the new way to do the same since PHP 5.4:

(new YourClass)->method();

Python Replace \\ with \

Your original string, a = 'a\\nb' does not actually have two '\' characters, the first one is an escape for the latter. If you do, print a, you'll see that you actually have only one '\' character.

>>> print a
a\nb

If, however, what you mean is to interpret the '\n' as a newline character, without escaping the slash, then:

>>> b = a.replace('\\n', '\n')
>>> b
'a\nb'
>>> print b
a
b

Count number of occurrences of a pattern in a file (even on same line)

Ripgrep, which is a fast alternative to grep, has just introduced the --count-matches flag allowing counting each match in version 0.9 (I'm using the above example to stay consistent):

> echo afoobarfoobar | rg --count foo
1
> echo afoobarfoobar | rg --count-matches foo
2

As asked by OP, ripgrep allows for regex pattern as well (--regexp <PATTERN>). Also it can print each (line) match on a separate line:

> echo -e "line1foo\nline2afoobarfoobar" | rg foo
line1foo
line2afoobarfoobar

Adding Jar files to IntellijIdea classpath

If, as I just encountered, you happen to have a jar file listed in the Project Structures->Libraries that is not in your classpath, the correct answer can be found by following the link given by @CrazyCoder above: Look here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-module-dependencies-and-libraries.html

This says that to add the jar file as a module dependency within the Project Structure dialog:

  1. Open Project Structure
  2. Select Modules, then click on the module for which you want the dependency
  3. Choose the Dependencies tab
  4. Click the '+' at the bottom of the page and choose the appropriate way to connect to the library file. If the jar file is already listed in Libraries, then select 'Library'.

Excel Validation Drop Down list using VBA

You are defining your array as xlValidateList(), so when you try to assign the type, it gets confused as to what you are trying to assign to the type.

Instead, try this:

Dim MyList(5) As String
MyList(0) = 1
MyList(1) = 2
MyList(2) = 3
MyList(3) = 4
MyList(4) = 5
MyList(5) = 6

With Range("A1").Validation
    .Delete
    .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, _
         Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:=Join(MyList, ",")
End With

How to prevent favicon.ico requests?

Personally I used this in my HTML head tag:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="#" />

Why does the preflight OPTIONS request of an authenticated CORS request work in Chrome but not Firefox?

This is an old post but maybe this could help people to complete the CORS problem. To complete the basic authorization problem you should avoid authorization for OPTIONS requests in your server. This is an Apache configuration example. Just add something like this in your VirtualHost or Location.

<LimitExcept OPTIONS>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName <AUTH_NAME>
    Require valid-user
    AuthUserFile <FILE_PATH>
</LimitExcept>

ERROR: permission denied for relation tablename on Postgres while trying a SELECT as a readonly user

Here is the complete solution for PostgreSQL 9+, updated recently.

CREATE USER readonly  WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'readonly';
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public to readonly;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO readonly;

-- repeat code below for each database:

GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE foo to readonly;
\c foo
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO readonly; --- this grants privileges on new tables generated in new database "foo"
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public to readonly; 
GRANT SELECT ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO readonly;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO readonly;

Thanks to https://jamie.curle.io/creating-a-read-only-user-in-postgres/ for several important aspects

If anyone find shorter code, and preferably one that is able to perform this for all existing databases, extra kudos.

How to connect to a secure website using SSL in Java with a pkcs12 file?

This example shows how you can layer SSL on top of an existing socket, obtaining the client cert from a PKCS#12 file. It is appropriate when you need to connect to an upstream server via a proxy, and you want to handle the full protocol by yourself.

Essentially, however, once you have the SSL Context, you can apply it to an HttpsURLConnection, etc, etc.

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
InputStream is = ...;
char[] ksp = storePassword.toCharArray();
ks.load(is, ksp);
KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
char[] kp = keyPassword.toCharArray();
kmf.init(ks, kp);
sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3");
sslContext.init(kmf.getKeyManagers(), null, null);
SSLSocketFactory factory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
SSLSocket sslsocket = (SSLSocket) factory.createSocket(socket, socket
    .getInetAddress().getHostName(), socket.getPort(), true);
sslsocket.setUseClientMode(true);
sslsocket.setSoTimeout(soTimeout);
sslsocket.startHandshake();

$watch an object

The form object isn't changing, only the name property is

updated fiddle

function MyController($scope) {
$scope.form = {
    name: 'my name',
}

$scope.changeCount = 0;
$scope.$watch('form.name', function(newVal, oldVal){
    console.log('changed');
    $scope.changeCount++;
});
}

JQuery - Get select value

val() returns the value of the <select> element, i.e. the value attribute of the selected <option> element.

Since you actually want the inner text of the selected <option> element, you should match that element and use text() instead:

var nationality = $("#dancerCountry option:selected").text();
