How to export table as CSV with headings on Postgresql?

Heres how I got it working power shell using pgsl connnect to a Heroku PG database:

I had to first change the client encoding to utf8 like this: \encoding UTF8

Then dumped the data to a CSV file this:

\copy (SELECT * FROM my_table) TO  C://wamp64/www/spider/chebi2/dump.csv CSV DELIMITER '~'

I used ~ as the delimiter because I don't like CSV files, I usually use TSV files, but it won't let me add '\t' as the delimiter, so I used ~ because its a rarely used characeter.

Calculate compass bearing / heading to location in Android

The formula will give the bearing using the coordinates of the start point to the end point see

The following code will give you the bearing (angle between 0-360)

private double bearing(Location startPoint, Location endPoint) {
    double longitude1 = startPoint.getLongitude();
    double latitude1 = Math.toRadians(startPoint.getLatitude());

    double longitude2 = endPoint.getLongitude();        
    double latitude2 = Math.toRadians(endPoint.getLatitude());

    double longDiff = Math.toRadians(longitude2 - longitude1);

    double y = Math.sin(longDiff) * Math.cos(latitude2);
    double x = Math.cos(latitude1) * Math.sin(latitude2) - Math.sin(latitude1) * Math.cos(latitude2) * Math.cos(longDiff);

    return Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(y, x));

}

This works for me hope it will work others as well

Using Case/Switch and GetType to determine the object

I actually prefer the approach given as the answer here: Is there a better alternative than this to 'switch on type'?

There is however a good argument about not implementing any type comparison methids in an object oriented language like C#. You could as an alternative extend and add extra required functionality using inheritance.

This point was discussed in the comments of the authors blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jaredpar/archive/2008/05/16/switching-on-types.aspx#8553535

I found this an extremely interesting point which changed my approach in a similar situation and only hope this helps others.

Using textures in THREE.js

Use TextureLoader to load a image as texture and then simply apply that texture to scene background.

 new THREE.TextureLoader();
     loader.load('https://images.pexels.com/photos/1205301/pexels-photo-1205301.jpeg' , function(texture)
                {
                 scene.background = texture;  
                });

Copy files without overwrite

It won't let me comment directly on the incorrect messages - but let me just warn everyone, that the definition of the /XN and /XO options are REVERSED compared to what has been posted in previous messages.

The Exclude Older/Newer files option is consistent with the information displayed in RoboCopy's logging: RoboCopy will iterate through the SOURCE and then report whether each file in the SOURCE is "OLDER" or "NEWER" than the file in the destination.

Consequently, /XO will exclude OLDER SOURCE files (which is intuitive), not "older than the source" as had been claimed here.

If you want to copy only new or changed source files, but avoid replacing more recent destination files, then /XO is the correct option to use.

Codeigniter's `where` and `or_where`

You can change your code to this:

$where_au = "(library.available_until >= '{date('Y-m-d H:i:s)}' OR library.available_until = '00-00-00 00:00:00')";
$this->db
    ->select('*')
    ->from('library')
    ->where('library.rating >=', $form['slider'])
    ->where('library.votes >=', '1000')
    ->where('library.language !=', 'German')
    ->where($where_au)
    ->where('library.release_year >=', $year_start)
    ->where('library.release_year <=', $year_end)
    ->join('rating_repo', 'library.id = rating_repo.id');

Tip: to watch the generated query you can use

echo $this->db->last_query(); die();

.htaccess File Options -Indexes on Subdirectories

The correct answer is

Options -Indexes

You must have been thinking of

AllowOverride All

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html

.htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.

Using Spring RestTemplate in generic method with generic parameter

As Sotirios explains, you can not use the ParameterizedTypeReference, but ParameterizedTypeReference is used only to provide Type to the object mapper, and as you have the class that is removed when type erasure happens, you can create your own ParameterizedType and pass that to RestTemplate, so that the object mapper can reconstruct the object you need.

First you need to have the ParameterizedType interface implemented, you can find an implementation in Google Gson project here. Once you add the implementation to your project, you can extend the abstract ParameterizedTypeReference like this:

class FakeParameterizedTypeReference<T> extends ParameterizedTypeReference<T> {

@Override
public Type getType() {
    Type [] responseWrapperActualTypes = {MyClass.class};
    ParameterizedType responseWrapperType = new ParameterizedTypeImpl(
        ResponseWrapper.class,
        responseWrapperActualTypes,
        null
        );
    return responseWrapperType;
    }
}

And then you can pass that to your exchange function:

template.exchange(
    uri,
    HttpMethod.POST,
    null,
    new FakeParameterizedTypeReference<ResponseWrapper<T>>());

With all the type information present object mapper will properly construct your ResponseWrapper<MyClass> object

UnsupportedClassVersionError unsupported major.minor version 51.0 unable to load class

Try adding the following to your eclipse.ini file:

-vm

You might also have to change the Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion to 1.7 in the same file.

OnClick in Excel VBA

Just a follow-up to dbb's accepted answer: Rather than adding the immediate cell on the right to the selection, why not select a cell way off the working range (i.e. a dummy cell that you know the user will never need). In the following code cell ZZ1 is the dummy cell

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  Union(Target, Me.Range("ZZ1")).Select
  Application.EnableEvents = True

  ' Respond to click/selection-change here

End Sub

What is the correct way to declare a boolean variable in Java?

In your example, You don't need to. As a standard programming practice, all variables being referred to inside some code block, say for example try{} catch(){}, and being referred to outside the block as well, you need to declare the variables outside the try block first e.g.

This is helpful when your equals method call throws some exception e.g. NullPointerException;

     boolean isMatch = false;

     try{
         isMatch = email1.equals (email2);
      }catch(NullPointerException npe){
         .....
      }
      System.out.print("Match=="+isMatch);
      if(isMatch){
        ......
      }

Avoid duplicates in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server

In MySQL you can do this:

INSERT IGNORE INTO Table2(Id, Name) SELECT Id, Name FROM Table1

Does SQL Server have anything similar?

'foo' was not declared in this scope c++

In general, in C++ functions have to be declared before you call them. So sometime before the definition of getSkewNormal(), the compiler needs to see the declaration:

double integrate (double start, double stop, int numSteps, Evaluatable evalObj);

Mostly what people do is put all the declarations (only) in the header file, and put the actual code -- the definitions of the functions and methods -- into a separate source (*.cc or *.cpp) file. This neatly solves the problem of needing all the functions to be declared.

creating an array of structs in c++

It works perfectly. I have gcc compiler C++11 ready. Try this and you'll see:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int pause;

    struct Customer
    {
           int uid;
           string name;
    };

    Customer customerRecords[2];
    customerRecords[0] = {25, "Bob Jones"};
    customerRecords[1] = {26, "Jim Smith"};
    cout << customerRecords[0].uid << " " << customerRecords[0].name << endl;
    cout << customerRecords[1].uid << " " << customerRecords[1].name << endl;
    cin >> pause;
return 0;
}

Use of Finalize/Dispose method in C#

I agree with pm100 (and should have explicitly said this in my earlier post).

You should never implement IDisposable in a class unless you need it. To be very specific, there are about 5 times when you would ever need/should implement IDisposable:

  1. Your class explicitly contains (i.e. not via inheritance) any managed resources which implement IDisposable and should be cleaned up once your class is no longer used. For example, if your class contains an instance of a Stream, DbCommand, DataTable, etc.

  2. Your class explicitly contains any managed resources which implement a Close() method - e.g. IDataReader, IDbConnection, etc. Note that some of these classes do implement IDisposable by having Dispose() as well as a Close() method.

  3. Your class explicitly contains an unmanaged resource - e.g. a COM object, pointers (yes, you can use pointers in managed C# but they must be declared in 'unsafe' blocks, etc. In the case of unmanaged resources, you should also make sure to call System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject() on the RCW. Even though the RCW is, in theory, a managed wrapper, there is still reference counting going on under the covers.

  4. If your class subscribes to events using strong references. You need to unregister/detach yourself from the events. Always to make sure these are not null first before trying to unregister/detach them!.

  5. Your class contains any combination of the above...

A recommended alternative to working with COM objects and having to use Marshal.ReleaseComObject() is to use the System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeHandle class.

The BCL (Base Class Library Team) has a good blog post about it here http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/2005/03/16/396900.aspx

One very important note to make is that if you are working with WCF and cleaning up resources, you should ALMOST ALWAYS avoid the 'using' block. There are plenty of blog posts out there and some on MSDN about why this is a bad idea. I have also posted about it here - Don't use 'using()' with a WCF proxy

Create a File object in memory from a string in Java

FileReader r = new FileReader(file);

Use a file reader load the file and then write its contents to a string buffer.

example

The link above shows you an example of how to accomplish this. As other post to this answer say to load a file into memory you do not need write access as long as you do not plan on making changes to the actual file.

Convert string to Time

This gives you the needed results:

string time = "16:23:01";
var result = Convert.ToDateTime(time);
string test = result.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
//This gives you "04:23:01 PM"  string

You could also use CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US") as not all cultures will display AM/PM.

JQuery Redirect to URL after specified time

Yes, the solution is to use setTimeout, like this:

var delay = 10000;
var url = "https://stackoverflow.com";
var timeoutID = setTimeout(function() {
    window.location.href = url;
}, delay);

note that the result was stored into timeoutID. If, for whatever reason you need to cancel the order, you just need to call

clearTimeout(timeoutID);

What is the format for the PostgreSQL connection string / URL?

Here is the documentation for JDBC, the general URL is "jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database"

Chapter 3 here documents the ADO.NET connection string, the general connection string is Server=host;Port=5432;User Id=username;Password=secret;Database=databasename;

PHP documentation us here, the general connection string is host=hostname port=5432 dbname=databasename user=username password=secret

If you're using something else, you'll have to tell us.

JavaScript seconds to time string with format hh:mm:ss

I think performance wise this is by far the fastest:

var t = 34236; // your seconds
var time = ('0'+Math.floor(t/3600) % 24).slice(-2)+':'+('0'+Math.floor(t/60)%60).slice(-2)+':'+('0' + t % 60).slice(-2)
//would output: 09:30:36

    proc.time() - p1 # The cpu usage should be negligible
}
testit(3.7)

How to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH?

The Composer bin directory is set and stored in bin-dir config variable and can be different depending on your setup. Running the command composer global config bin-dir --absolute will tell you the absolute path to your global composer bin directory. Using this command you can modify your .bash_profile to add it to your PATH exactly how it is configured.

# Add Composer bin-dir to PATH if it is installed.
command -v composer >/dev/null 2>&1 && {
        COMPOSER_BIN_DIR=$(composer global config bin-dir --absolute 2> /dev/null)
        PATH="$PATH:$COMPOSER_BIN_DIR";
}
export PATH

Is it possible to declare two variables of different types in a for loop?

I think best approach is xian's answer.

but...


# Nested for loop

This approach is dirty, but can solve at all version.

so, I often use it in macro functions.

for(int _int=0, /* make local variable */ \
    loopOnce=true; loopOnce==true; loopOnce=false)

    for(char _char=0; _char<3; _char++)
    {
        // do anything with
        // _int, _char
    }

Additional 1.

It can also be used to declare local variables and initialize global variables.

float globalFloat;

for(int localInt=0, /* decalre local variable */ \
    _=1;_;_=0)

    for(globalFloat=2.f; localInt<3; localInt++) /* initialize global variable */
    {
        // do.
    }

Additional 2.

Good example : with macro function.

(If best approach can't be used because it is a for-loop-macro)

#define for_two_decl(_decl_1, _decl_2, cond, incr) \
for(_decl_1, _=1;_;_=0)\
    for(_decl_2; (cond); (incr))


    for_two_decl(int i=0, char c=0, i<3, i++)
    {
        // your body with
        // i, c
    }

# If-statement trick

if (A* a=nullptr);
else
    for(...) // a is visible

If you want initialize to 0 or nullptr, you can use this trick.

but I don't recommend this because of hard reading.

and it seems like bug.

Can you call ko.applyBindings to bind a partial view?

ko.applyBindings accepts a second parameter that is a DOM element to use as the root.

This would let you do something like:

<div id="one">
  <input data-bind="value: name" />
</div>

<div id="two">
  <input data-bind="value: name" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var viewModelA = {
     name: ko.observable("Bob")
  };

  var viewModelB = {
     name: ko.observable("Ted")
  };

  ko.applyBindings(viewModelA, document.getElementById("one"));
  ko.applyBindings(viewModelB, document.getElementById("two"));
</script>

So, you can use this technique to bind a viewModel to the dynamic content that you load into your dialog. Overall, you just want to be careful not to call applyBindings multiple times on the same elements, as you will get multiple event handlers attached.

Package Manager Console Enable-Migrations CommandNotFoundException only in a specific VS project

I had the same issue with VS 2019 Preview, .Net Core, and EntityFramework Core.

Turns out I had to install via NuGet Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. Once that was done, it worked like a charm.

Load image with jQuery and append it to the DOM

after you get the image path, try either of following ways

  1. (as you need to set more attr than just the src) build the html and replace to the target region

    $('#target_div').html('<img src="'+ imgPaht +'" width=100 height=100 alt="Hello Image" />');
    
  2. you may need to add some delay if changing the "SRC" attr

    setTimeout(function(){///this function fire after 1ms delay
          $('#target_img_tag_id').attr('src',imgPaht);
    }, 1);
    

Is it possible to append Series to rows of DataFrame without making a list first?

DataFrame.append does not modify the DataFrame in place. You need to do df = df.append(...) if you want to reassign it back to the original variable.

basic authorization command for curl

Use the -H header again before the Authorization:Basic things. So it will be

curl -i \
    -H 'Accept:application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization:Basic BASE64_string' \
    http://example.com

Here, BASE64_string = Base64 of username:password

git: undo all working dir changes including new files

git clean -i will first show you the items to be deleted and proceed after your confirmation. I find this useful when dealing with important files that should not be deleted accidentally.

See git help clean for more information, including some other useful options.

Get index of a key/value pair in a C# dictionary based on the value

There's no such concept of an "index" within a dictionary - it's fundamentally unordered. Of course when you iterate over it you'll get the items in some order, but that order isn't guaranteed and can change over time (particularly if you add or remove entries).

Obviously you can get the key from a KeyValuePair just by using the Key property, so that will let you use the indexer of the dictionary:

var pair = ...;
var value = dictionary[pair.Key];
Assert.AreEqual(value, pair.Value);

You haven't really said what you're trying to do. If you're trying to find some key which corresponds to a particular value, you could use:

var key = dictionary.Where(pair => pair.Value == desiredValue)
                    .Select(pair => pair.Key)
                    .FirstOrDefault();

key will be null if the entry doesn't exist.

This is assuming that the key type is a reference type... if it's a value type you'll need to do things slightly differently.

Of course, if you really want to look up values by key, you should consider using another dictionary which maps the other way round in addition to your existing dictionary.

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

In Windows, it could be a wrong path in "System environment variables". "Path" to the php.exe directory must be the good one.

How can I use JQuery to post JSON data?

You're passing an object, not a JSON string. When you pass an object, jQuery uses $.param to serialize the object into name-value pairs.

If you pass the data as a string, it won't be serialized:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/form/',
    data: '{"name":"jonas"}', // or JSON.stringify ({name: 'jonas'}),
    success: function(data) { alert('data: ' + data); },
    contentType: "application/json",
    dataType: 'json'
});

Adding images to an HTML document with javascript

You need to use document.getElementById() in line 3.

If you try this right now in the console:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var img = document.createElement("img");_x000D_
img.src = "http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/logo_plain.png";_x000D_
var src = document.getElementById("header");_x000D_
src.appendChild(img);
_x000D_
<div id="header"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

... you'd get this:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
 $(document).ready(function() {
 // show the table as soon as the DOM is ready
 $("#id_data").show();
 // shows the table on clicking the noted link
  $("#id_radio1").click(function() {
   $("#id_data").show("slow");
  });
 // hides the table on clicking the noted link
   $("#id_radio2").click(function() {
   $("#id_data").hide("fast");
   });
 });

  $(document).ready(function(){} – When document load.
  $("#id_data").show(); – shows div which contain id #id_data.
  $("#id_radio1").click(function() – Checks  radio button is clicked containing id #id_radio1.
  $("#id_data").show("slow"); – shows div containing id #id_data.
  $("#id_data").hide("fast"); -hides div when click on radio button containing id #id_data.

Thats it..

Serving favicon.ico in ASP.NET MVC

I think that favicon.ico should be in root folder. It just belongs there.

If you want to servere diferent icons - put it into controler. You can do that. If not - just leave it in the root folder.

HTML5 Pre-resize images before uploading

Resizing images in a canvas element is generally bad idea since it uses the cheapest box interpolation. The resulting image noticeable degrades in quality. I'd recommend using http://nodeca.github.io/pica/demo/ which can perform Lanczos transformation instead. The demo page above shows difference between canvas and Lanczos approaches.

It also uses web workers for resizing images in parallel. There is also WEBGL implementation.

There are some online image resizers that use pica for doing the job, like https://myimageresizer.com

decompiling DEX into Java sourcecode

To clarify somewhat, there are two major paths you might take here depending on what you want to accomplish:

Decompile the Dalvik bytecode (dex) into readable Java source. You can do this easily with dex2jar and jd-gui, as fred mentions. The resulting source is useful to read and understand the functionality of an app, but will likely not produce 100% usable code. In other words, you can read the source, but you can't really modify and repackage it. Note that if the source has been obfuscated with proguard, the resulting source code will be substantially more difficult to untangle.

The other major alternative is to disassemble the bytecode to smali, an assembly language designed for precisely this purpose. I've found that the easiest way to do this is with apktool. Once you've got apktool installed, you can just point it at an apk file, and you'll get back a smali file for each class contained in the application. You can read and modify the smali or even replace classes entirely by generating smali from new Java source (to do this, you could compile your .java source to .class files with javac, then convert your .class files to .dex files with Android's dx compiler, and then use baksmali (smali disassembler) to convert the .dex to .smali files, as described in this question. There might be a shortcut here). Once you're done, you can easily package the apk back up with apktool again. Note that apktool does not sign the resulting apk, so you'll need to take care of that just like any other Android application.

If you go the smali route, you might want to try APK Studio, an IDE that automates some of the above steps to assist you with decompiling and recompiling an apk and installing it on a device.

In short, your choices are pretty much either to decompile into Java, which is more readable but likely irreversible, or to disassemble to smali, which is harder to read but much more flexible to make changes and repackage a modified app. Which approach you choose would depend on what you're looking to achieve.

Lastly, the suggestion of dare is also of note. It's a retargeting tool to convert .dex and .apk files to java .class files, so that they can be analyzed using typical java static analysis tools.

JavaScript ES6 promise for loop

As you already hinted in your question, your code creates all promises synchronously. Instead they should only be created at the time the preceding one resolves.

Secondly, each promise that is created with new Promise needs to be resolved with a call to resolve (or reject). This should be done when the timer expires. That will trigger any then callback you would have on that promise. And such a then callback (or await) is a necessity in order to implement the chain.

With those ingredients, there are several ways to perform this asynchronous chaining:

  1. With a for loop that starts with an immediately resolving promise

  2. With Array#reduce that starts with an immediately resolving promise

  3. With a function that passes itself as resolution callback

  4. With ECMAScript2017's async / await syntax

  5. With ECMAScript2020's for await...of syntax

See a snippet and comments for each of these options below.

1. With for

You can use a for loop, but you must make sure it doesn't execute new Promise synchronously. Instead you create an initial immediately resolving promise, and then chain new promises as the previous ones resolve:

_x000D_
_x000D_
for (let i = 0, p = Promise.resolve(); i < 10; i++) {
    p = p.then(_ => new Promise(resolve =>
        setTimeout(function () {
            console.log(i);
            resolve();
        }, Math.random() * 1000)
    ));
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

2. With reduce

This is just a more functional approach to the previous strategy. You create an array with the same length as the chain you want to execute, and start out with an immediately resolving promise:

_x000D_
_x000D_
[...Array(10)].reduce( (p, _, i) => 
    p.then(_ => new Promise(resolve =>
        setTimeout(function () {
            console.log(i);
            resolve();
        }, Math.random() * 1000)
    ))
, Promise.resolve() );
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This is probably more useful when you actually have an array with data to be used in the promises.

3. With a function passing itself as resolution-callback

Here we create a function and call it immediately. It creates the first promise synchronously. When it resolves, the function is called again:

_x000D_
_x000D_
(function loop(i) {
    if (i < 10) new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout( () => {
            console.log(i);
            resolve();
        }, Math.random() * 1000);
    }).then(loop.bind(null, i+1));
})(0);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

This creates a function named loop, and at the very end of the code you can see it gets called immediately with argument 0. This is the counter, and the i argument. The function will create a new promise if that counter is still below 10, otherwise the chaining stops.

The call to resolve() will trigger the then callback which will call the function again. loop.bind(null, i+1) is just a different way of saying _ => loop(i+1).

4. With async/await

Modern JS engines support this syntax:

_x000D_
_x000D_
(async function loop() {
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.random() * 1000));
        console.log(i);
    }
})();
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

It may look strange, as it seems like the new Promise() calls are executed synchronously, but in reality the async function returns when it executes the first await. Every time an awaited promise resolves, the function's running context is restored, and proceeds after the await, until it encounters the next one, and so it continues until the loop finishes.

As it may be a common thing to return a promise based on a timeout, you could create a separate function for generating such a promise. This is called promisifying a function, in this case setTimeout. It may improve the readability of the code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const delay = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

(async function loop() {
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        await delay(Math.random() * 1000);
        console.log(i);
    }
})();
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

5. With for await...of

With EcmaScript 2020, the for await...of found its way to modern JavaScript engines. Although it does not really reduce code in this case, it allows to isolate the definition of the random interval chain from the actual iteration of it:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const delay = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
async function * randomDelays(count ,max) {
    for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) yield delay(Math.random() * max).then(() => i);
}

(async function loop() {
    for await (let i of randomDelays(10, 1000)) console.log(i);
})();
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Naming returned columns in Pandas aggregate function?

This will drop the outermost level from the hierarchical column index:

df = data.groupby(...).agg(...)
df.columns = df.columns.droplevel(0)

If you'd like to keep the outermost level, you can use the ravel() function on the multi-level column to form new labels:

df.columns = ["_".join(x) for x in df.columns.ravel()]

For example:

import pandas as pd
import pandas.rpy.common as com
import numpy as np

data = com.load_data('Loblolly')
print(data.head())
#     height  age Seed
# 1     4.51    3  301
# 15   10.89    5  301
# 29   28.72   10  301
# 43   41.74   15  301
# 57   52.70   20  301

df = data.groupby('Seed').agg(
    {'age':['sum'],
     'height':['mean', 'std']})
print(df.head())
#       age     height           
#       sum        std       mean
# Seed                           
# 301    78  22.638417  33.246667
# 303    78  23.499706  34.106667
# 305    78  23.927090  35.115000
# 307    78  22.222266  31.328333
# 309    78  23.132574  33.781667

df.columns = df.columns.droplevel(0)
print(df.head())

yields

      sum        std       mean
Seed                           
301    78  22.638417  33.246667
303    78  23.499706  34.106667
305    78  23.927090  35.115000
307    78  22.222266  31.328333
309    78  23.132574  33.781667

Alternatively, to keep the first level of the index:

df = data.groupby('Seed').agg(
    {'age':['sum'],
     'height':['mean', 'std']})
df.columns = ["_".join(x) for x in df.columns.ravel()]

yields

      age_sum   height_std  height_mean
Seed                           
301        78    22.638417    33.246667
303        78    23.499706    34.106667
305        78    23.927090    35.115000
307        78    22.222266    31.328333
309        78    23.132574    33.781667

How to use background thread in swift?

in Swift 4.2 this works.

import Foundation

class myThread: Thread
{
    override func main() {
        while(true) {
            print("Running in the Thread");
            Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: 4);
        }
    }
}

let t = myThread();
t.start();

while(true) {
    print("Main Loop");
    sleep(5);
}

How to implement the --verbose or -v option into a script?

@kindall's solution does not work with my Python version 3.5. @styles correctly states in his comment that the reason is the additional optional keywords argument. Hence my slightly refined version for Python 3 looks like this:

if VERBOSE:
    def verboseprint(*args, **kwargs):
        print(*args, **kwargs)
else:
    verboseprint = lambda *a, **k: None # do-nothing function

Javascript Drag and drop for touch devices

For anyone looking to use this and keep the 'click' functionality (as John Landheer mentions in his comment), you can do it with just a couple of modifications:

Add a couple of globals:

var clickms = 100;
var lastTouchDown = -1;

Then modify the switch statement from the original to this:

var d = new Date();
switch(event.type)
{
    case "touchstart": type = "mousedown"; lastTouchDown = d.getTime(); break;
    case "touchmove": type="mousemove"; lastTouchDown = -1; break;        
    case "touchend": if(lastTouchDown > -1 && (d.getTime() - lastTouchDown) < clickms){lastTouchDown = -1; type="click"; break;} type="mouseup"; break;
    default: return;
}

You may want to adjust 'clickms' to your tastes. Basically it's just watching for a 'touchstart' followed quickly by a 'touchend' to simulate a click.

Simplest way to do grouped barplot

How often should you use git-gc?

Note that the downside of garbage-collecting your repository is that, well, the garbage gets collected. As we all know as computer users, files we consider garbage right now might turn out to be very valuable three days in the future. The fact that git keeps most of its debris around has saved my bacon several times – by browsing all the dangling commits, I have recovered much work that I had accidentally canned.

So don’t be too much of a neat freak in your private clones. There’s little need for it.

OTOH, the value of data recoverability is questionable for repos used mainly as remotes, eg. the place all the devs push to and/or pulled from. There, it might be sensible to kick off a GC run and a repacking frequently.

How to reload .bashrc settings without logging out and back in again?

Assuming an interactive shell, and you'd like to keep your current command history and also load /etc/profile (which loads environment data including /etc/bashrc and on Mac OS X loads paths defined in /etc/paths.d/ via path_helper), append your command history and do an exec of bash with the login ('-l') option:

history -a && exec bash -l

How to expand a list to function arguments in Python

It exists, but it's hard to search for. I think most people call it the "splat" operator.

It's in the documentation as "Unpacking argument lists".

You'd use it like this: foo(*values). There's also one for dictionaries:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
def foo(a, b):
    pass
foo(**d)

How to join on multiple columns in Pyspark?

An alternative approach would be:

df1 = sqlContext.createDataFrame(
    [(1, "a", 2.0), (2, "b", 3.0), (3, "c", 3.0)],
    ("x1", "x2", "x3"))

df2 = sqlContext.createDataFrame(
    [(1, "f", -1.0), (2, "b", 0.0)], ("x1", "x2", "x4"))

df = df1.join(df2, ['x1','x2'])
df.show()

which outputs:

+---+---+---+---+
| x1| x2| x3| x4|
+---+---+---+---+
|  2|  b|3.0|0.0|
+---+---+---+---+

With the main advantage being that the columns on which the tables are joined are not duplicated in the output, reducing the risk of encountering errors such as org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Reference 'x1' is ambiguous, could be: x1#50L, x1#57L.


Whenever the columns in the two tables have different names, (let's say in the example above, df2 has the columns y1, y2 and y4), you could use the following syntax:

df = df1.join(df2.withColumnRenamed('y1','x1').withColumnRenamed('y2','x2'), ['x1','x2'])

How to convert a string to utf-8 in Python

How to get a list of user accounts using the command line in MySQL?

I use this to sort the users, so the permitted hosts are more easy to spot:

mysql> SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user ORDER BY User,Host;

If a DOM Element is removed, are its listeners also removed from memory?

Don't hesitate to watch heap to see memory leaks in event handlers keeping a reference to the element with a closure and the element keeping a reference to the event handler.

Garbage collector do not like circular references.

Usual memory leak case: admit an object has a ref to an element. That element has a ref to the handler. And the handler has a ref to the object. The object has refs to a lot of other objects. This object was part of a collection you think you have thrown away by unreferencing it from your collection. => the whole object and all it refers will remain in memory till page exit. => you have to think about a complete killing method for your object class or trust a mvc framework for example.

Moreover, don't hesitate to use the Retaining tree part of Chrome dev tools.

How to animate the change of image in an UIImageView?

Chrome / Safari not filling 100% height of flex parent

Specifying a flex attribute to the container worked for me:

.container {

This ensures the height is set and doesn't grow either.

How to create cron job using PHP?

Better use the project Cron in combination with the Linux cronjob for this task. It allows you to configure run times in your PHP Code, support background jobs and is easy to use.

First step call a PHP Script every minute:

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/run.php &> /dev/null

Second Step use the cron/cron Package to configure run times directly in PHP.

$deprecatedStatus = new ShellJob();
$deprecatedStatus->setCommand('cd /app && /usr/local/bin/php cron/updateDeprecatedStatus.php');
$deprecatedStatus->setSchedule(new CrontabSchedule('* * * * */2'));


$displayDate = new ShellJob();
$displayDate->setCommand('cd /app && /usr/local/bin/php cron/updateDisplayDate.php');
$displayDate->setSchedule(new CrontabSchedule('* * * * */5'));

You found the details how to use in the linked repository.

How to push both key and value into an Array in Jquery

You might mean this:

var unEnumeratedArray = [];
var wtfObject = {
                 key    : 'val', 
                 0      : (undefined = 'Look, I\'m defined'),
                 'new'  : 'keyword', 
                 '{!}'  : 'use bracket syntax',
                 '        ': '8 spaces'
                };

for(var key in wtfObject){
    unEnumeratedArray[key] = wtfObject[key];
}
console.log('HAS KEYS PER VALUE NOW:', unEnumeratedArray, unEnumeratedArray[0], 
             unEnumeratedArray.key, unEnumeratedArray['new'], 
             unEnumeratedArray['{!}'], unEnumeratedArray['        ']);

You can set an enumerable for an Object like: ({})[0] = 'txt'; and you can set a key for an Array like: ([])['myKey'] = 'myVal';

Hope this helps :)

How to launch multiple Internet Explorer windows/tabs from batch file?

There is a setting in the IE options that controls whether it should open new links in an existing window or in a new window. I'm not sure if you can control it from the command line but maybe changing this option would be enough for you.

In IE7 it looks like the option is "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts (when tabbed browsing is disabled)".

python numpy vector math

You can just use numpy arrays. Look at the numpy for matlab users page for a detailed overview of the pros and cons of arrays w.r.t. matrices.

As I mentioned in the comment, having to use the dot() function or method for mutiplication of vectors is the biggest pitfall. But then again, numpy arrays are consistent. All operations are element-wise. So adding or subtracting arrays and multiplication with a scalar all work as expected of vectors.

Edit2: Starting with Python 3.5 and numpy 1.10 you can use the @ infix-operator for matrix multiplication, thanks to pep 465.

Edit: Regarding your comment:

  1. Yes. The whole of numpy is based on arrays.

  2. Yes. linalg.norm(v) is a good way to get the length of a vector. But what you get depends on the possible second argument to norm! Read the docs.

  3. To normalize a vector, just divide it by the length you calculated in (2). Division of arrays by a scalar is also element-wise.

    An example in ipython:

    In [1]: import math
    
    In [2]: import numpy as np
    
    In [3]: a = np.array([4,2,7])
    
    In [4]: np.linalg.norm(a)
    Out[4]: 8.3066238629180749
    
    In [5]: math.sqrt(sum([n**2 for n in a]))
    Out[5]: 8.306623862918075
    
    In [6]: b = a/np.linalg.norm(a)
    
    In [7]: np.linalg.norm(b)
    Out[7]: 1.0
    

    Note that In [5] is an alternative way to calculate the length. In [6] shows normalizing the vector.

how to read System environment variable in Spring applicationContext

This is how you do it:

<bean id="systemPrereqs" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean" scope="prototype">
             <property name="targetObject" value="#{@systemProperties}" />
             <property name="targetMethod" value="putAll" />
             <property name="arguments">
                   <util:properties>
                       <prop key="deployment.env">dev</prop>
                   </util:properties>
            </property>
    </bean>

But remember spring gets loaded first and then it will load this bean MethodInvokingFactoryBean. So if you are trying to use this for your test case then make sure that you use depends-on. For e.g. in this case

In case you are using it for your main class better to set this property using your pom.xml as

<systemProperty>
    <name>deployment.env</name>
    <value>dev</value>
</systemProperty>

jQuery: selecting each td in a tr

expanding on the answer above the 'each' function will return you the table-cell html object. wrapping that in $() will then allow you to perform jquery actions on it.

  $(td).blah
});  

How do I add space between items in an ASP.NET RadioButtonList

you can also use cellspacing and cellpadding properties if repeat layout is table.

    <asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblMyRadioButtonList" runat="server" CellPadding="3" CellSpacing="2">

When using Spring Security, what is the proper way to obtain current username (i.e. SecurityContext) information in a bean?

I agree that having to query the SecurityContext for the current user stinks, it seems a very un-Spring way to handle this problem.

I wrote a static "helper" class to deal with this problem; it's dirty in that it's a global and static method, but I figured this way if we change anything related to Security, at least I only have to change the details in one place:

/**
* Returns the domain User object for the currently logged in user, or null
* if no User is logged in.
* 
* @return User object for the currently logged in user, or null if no User
*         is logged in.
*/
public static User getCurrentUser() {

    Object principal = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal()

    if (principal instanceof MyUserDetails) return ((MyUserDetails) principal).getUser();

    // principal object is either null or represents anonymous user -
    // neither of which our domain User object can represent - so return null
    return null;
}


/**
 * Utility method to determine if the current user is logged in /
 * authenticated.
 * <p>
 * Equivalent of calling:
 * <p>
 * <code>getCurrentUser() != null</code>
 * 
 * @return if user is logged in
 */
public static boolean isLoggedIn() {
    return getCurrentUser() != null;
}

How to get all registered routes in Express?

This worked for me

let routes = []
app._router.stack.forEach(function (middleware) {
    if(middleware.route) {
        routes.push(Object.keys(middleware.route.methods) + " -> " + middleware.route.path);
    }
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(routes, null, 4));

O/P:

[
    "get -> /posts/:id",
    "post -> /posts",
    "patch -> /posts"
]

Check if a number is int or float

You can do it with simple if statement

To check for float

if type(a)==type(1.1)

To check for integer type

if type(a)==type(1)

Remove an item from a dictionary when its key is unknown

This is how I would do it.

for key in some_dict.keys():
    if some_dict[key] == item_to_remove:
        some_dict.pop(key)
        break

How to add two strings as if they were numbers?

Here, you have two options to do this :-

1.You can use the unary plus to convert string number into integer.

2.You can also achieve this via parsing the number into corresponding type. i.e parseInt(), parseFloat() etc

.

Now I am going to show you here with the help of examples(Find the sum of two numbers).

Using unary plus operator

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<H1>Program for sum of two numbers.</H1>
<p id="myId"></p>
<script>
var x = prompt("Please enter the first number.");//prompt will always return string value
var y = prompt("Please enter the second nubmer.");
var z = +x + +y;    
document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML ="Sum of "+x+" and "+y+" is "+z;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Using parsing approach-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<H1>Program for sum of two numbers.</H1>
<p id="myId"></p>
<script>
var x = prompt("Please enter the first number.");
var y = prompt("Please enter the second number.");   
var z = parseInt(x) + parseInt(y);
document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML ="Sum of "+x+" and "+y+" is "+z;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Escape double quote character in XML

If you just need to try something out quickly, here's a quick and dirty solution. Use single quotes for the attribute value:

<parameter name='Quote = " '>

How to make a round button?

  1. Use the Image Buttons and make the background as the image you want.
  2. Create the images from the android asset studio link -

" https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html#foreground.type=image&foreground.space.trim=0&foreground.space.pad=0.25&foreColor=rgba(94%2C%20126%2C%20142%2C%200)&backColor=rgb(96%2C%20125%2C%20139)&crop=1&backgroundShape=circle&effects=none&name=ic_home "

and download it, extraxt it , inside that look for mipmap-hdpi folder.

  1. copy the image from the mipmap-hdpi folder and paste it in the drwable folder of your android project.

  2. Now set the background as that image.

Creating for loop until list.length

You could learn about Python loops here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming/Loops

You have to know that Python doesn't have { and } for start and end of loop, instead it depends on tab chars you enter in first of line, I mean line indents.

So you can do loop inside loop with double tab (indent)

An example of double loop is like this:

onetoten = range(1,11)
tentotwenty = range(10,21)
for count in onetoten:
    for count2 in tentotwenty
        print(count2)

Call ASP.NET function from JavaScript?

Well, if you don't want to do it using Ajax or any other way and just want a normal ASP.NET postback to happen, here is how you do it (without using any other libraries):

It is a little tricky though... :)

i. In your code file (assuming you are using C# and .NET 2.0 or later) add the following Interface to your Page class to make it look like

public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page, IPostBackEventHandler{}

ii. This should add (using Tab-Tab) this function to your code file:

public void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument) { }

iii. In your onclick event in JavaScript, write the following code:

var pageId = '<%=  Page.ClientID %>';
__doPostBack(pageId, argumentString);

This will call the 'RaisePostBackEvent' method in your code file with the 'eventArgument' as the 'argumentString' you passed from the JavaScript. Now, you can call any other event you like.

P.S: That is 'underscore-underscore-doPostBack' ... And, there should be no space in that sequence... Somehow the WMD does not allow me to write to underscores followed by a character!

what is the difference between const_iterator and iterator?

Performance wise there is no difference. The only purpose of having const_iterator over iterator is to manage the accessesibility of the container on which the respective iterator runs. You can understand it more clearly with an example:

std::vector<int> integers{ 3, 4, 56, 6, 778 };

If we were to read & write the members of a container we will use iterator:

for( std::vector<int>::iterator it = integers.begin() ; it != integers.end() ; ++it )
       {*it = 4;  std::cout << *it << std::endl; }

If we were to only read the members of the container integers you might wanna use const_iterator which doesn't allow to write or modify members of container.

for( std::vector<int>::const_iterator it = integers.begin() ; it != integers.end() ; ++it )
       { cout << *it << endl; }

NOTE: if you try to modify the content using *it in second case you will get an error because its read-only.

Dynamic Web Module 3.0 -- 3.1

I had the same problem and fixed this by editing org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml.

In this file, I was able to change the following line

<installed facet="jst.web" version="3.1"/>

back to

<installed facet="jst.web" version="3.0"/>

That seemed to fix the problem for me.

Extracting the top 5 maximum values in excel

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(A1:A10,ROW()),A1:B10,2,0)

Type this formula in first row of your sheet then drag down till fifth row...

its a simple vlookup, which finds the large value in array (A1:A10), the ROW() function gives the row number (first row = 1, second row =2 and so on) and further is the lookup criteria.

Note: You can replace the ROW() to 1,2,3,4,5 as requried...if you have this formula in other than the 1st row, then make sure you subtract some numbers from the row() to get accurate results.

EDIT: TO check tie results

This is possible, you need to add a helper column to the sheet, here is the link. Do let me know in case things seems to be messy....

How can I align the columns of tables in Bash?

It's easier than you wonder.

If you are working with a separated by semicolon file and header too:

$ (head -n1 file.csv && sort file.csv | grep -v <header>) | column -s";" -t

If you are working with array (using tab as separator):

for((i=0;i<array_size;i++));
do

   echo stringarray[$i] $'\t' numberarray[$i] $'\t' anotherfieldarray[$i] >> tmp_file.csv

done;

cat file.csv | column -t

How To Make Circle Custom Progress Bar in Android

Circle Android Custom Progress Bar

for more information on How to create Circle Android Custom Progress Bar view this link

Step 01 You should create an xml file on drawable file for configure the appearance of progress bar . So Im creating my xml file as circular_progress_bar.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromDegrees="120"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="140">
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape
    android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:useLevel="false"
     android:angle="0"
     android:type="sweep"
    android:thicknessRatio="50.0">
    <solid android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>

 </item>
 <item android:id="@android:id/progress">
   <rotate
    android:fromDegrees="120"
    android:toDegrees="120">
<shape
    android:innerRadiusRatio="3"
    android:shape="ring"
     android:angle="0"
     android:type="sweep"
    android:thicknessRatio="50.0">
    <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>

Step 02 Then create progress bar on your xml file Then give the name of xml file on your drawable folder as the parth of android:progressDrawable

 <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progressBar"
            style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
            android:layout_width="150dp"
            android:layout_height="150dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:indeterminate="false"
            android:max="100"
            android:progressDrawable="@drawable/circular_progress_bar" />

Step 03 Visual the progress bar using thread

            while (mProgressStatus < 63) {
                mProgressStatus += 1;
                // Update the progress bar
                mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        progBar.setProgress(mProgressStatus);
                        text.setText(""+mProgressStatus+"%");

                    }

Meaning of "[: too many arguments" error from if [] (square brackets)

Just bumped into this post, by getting the same error, trying to test if two variables are both empty (or non-empty). That turns out to be a compound comparison - 7.3. Other Comparison Operators - Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide; and I thought I should note the following:

  • I used -e thinking it means "empty" at first; but that means "file exists" - use -z for testing empty variable (string)
  • String variables need to be quoted
  • For compound logical AND comparison, either:
    • use two tests and && them: [ ... ] && [ ... ]
    • or use the -a operator in a single test: [ ... -a ... ]

Here is a working command (searching through all txt files in a directory, and dumping those that grep finds contain both of two words):

find /usr/share/doc -name '*.txt' | while read file; do \
  a1=$(grep -H "description" $file); \
  a2=$(grep -H "changes" $file); \
  [ ! -z "$a1" -a ! -z "$a2"  ] && echo -e "$a1 \n $a2" ; \
done

Edit 12 Aug 2013: related problem note:

Note that when checking string equality with classic test (single square bracket [), you MUST have a space between the "is equal" operator, which in this case is a single "equals" = sign (although two equals' signs == seem to be accepted as equality operator too). Thus, this fails (silently):

$ if [ "1"=="" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
A
$ if [ "1"="" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
A
$ if [ "1"="" ] && [ "1"="1" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
A
$ if [ "1"=="" ] && [ "1"=="1" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
A

... but add the space - and all looks good:

$ if [ "1" = "" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
B
$ if [ "1" == "" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
B
$ if [ "1" = "" -a "1" = "1" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
B
$ if [ "1" == "" -a "1" == "1" ] ; then echo A; else echo B; fi 
B

WPF Add a Border to a TextBlock

A TextBlock does not actually inherit from Control so it does not have properties that you would generally associate with a Control. Your best bet for adding a border in a style is to replace the TextBlock with a Label

Showing empty view when ListView is empty

As appsthatmatter says, in the layout something like:

<ListView android:id="@+id/listView" ... />
<TextView android:id="@+id/emptyElement" ... />

and in the linked Activity:

this.listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
this.listView.setEmptyView(findViewById(R.id.emptyElement));

Does also work with a GridView...

VBA test if cell is in a range

@mywolfe02 gives a static range code so his inRange works fine but if you want to add dynamic range then use this one with inRange function of him.this works better with when you want to populate data to fix starting cell and last column is also fixed.

Sub DynamicRange()

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim StartCell As Range
Dim rng As Range

Set sht = Worksheets("xyz")
LastRow = sht.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).row
Set rng = Workbooks("Record.xlsm").Worksheets("xyz").Range(Cells(12, 2), Cells(LastRow, 12))

Debug.Print LastRow

If InRange(ActiveCell, rng) Then
'        MsgBox "Active Cell In Range!"
  Else
      MsgBox "Please select the cell within the range!"
  End If

End Sub

Rails: How does the respond_to block work?

This is a block of Ruby code that takes advantage of a Rails helper method. If you aren't familiar with blocks yet, you will see them a lot in Ruby.

respond_to is a Rails helper method that is attached to the Controller class (or rather, its super class). It is referencing the response that will be sent to the View (which is going to the browser).

The block in your example is formatting data - by passing in a 'format' paramater in the block - to be sent from the controller to the view whenever a browser makes a request for html or json data.

If you are on your local machine and you have your Post scaffold set up, you can go to http://localhost:3000/posts and you will see all of your posts in html format. But, if you type in this: http://localhost:3000/posts.json, then you will see all of your posts in a json object sent from the server.

This is very handy for making javascript heavy applications that need to pass json back and forth from the server. If you wanted, you could easily create a json api on your rails back-end, and only pass one view - like the index view of your Post controller. Then you could use a javascript library like Jquery or Backbone (or both) to manipulate data and create your own interface. These are called asynchronous UIs and they are becomming really popular (Gmail is one). They are very fast and give the end-user a more desktop-like experience on the web. Of course, this is just one advantage of formatting your data.

The Rails 3 way of writing this would be this:

    class PostsController < ApplicationController
      # GET /posts
      # GET /posts.xml


      respond_to :html, :xml, :json

      def index
        @posts = Post.all

        respond_with(@posts)
      end

#
# All your other REST methods
#

end

By putting respond_to :html, :xml, :json at the top of the class, you can declare all the formats that you want your controller to send to your views.

Then, in the controller method, all you have to do is respond_with(@whatever_object_you_have)

It just simplifies your code a little more than what Rails auto-generates.

If you want to know about the inner-workings of this...

From what I understand, Rails introspects the objects to determine what the actual format is going to be. The 'format' variables value is based on this introspection. Rails can do a whole lot with a little bit of info. You'd be surprised at how far a simple @post or :post will go.

For example, if I had a _user.html.erb partial file that looked like this:

_user.html.erb

<li>    
    <%= link_to user.name, user %>
</li>

Then, this alone in my index view would let Rails know that it needed to find the 'users' partial and iterate through all of the 'users' objects:

index.html.erb

 <ul class="users">
   <%= render @users %>     
 </ul>

would let Rails know that it needed to find the 'user' partial and iterate through all of the 'users' objects:

How can I set the max-width of a table cell using percentages?

According to the definition of max-width in the CSS 2.1 spec, “the effect of 'min-width' and 'max-width' on tables, inline tables, table cells, table columns, and column groups is undefined.” So you cannot directly set max-width on a td element.

If you just want the second column to take up at most 67%, then you can set the width (which is in effect minimum width, for table cells) to 33%, e.g. in the example case

td:first-child { width: 33% ;}

Setting that for both columns won’t work that well, since it tends to make browsers give the columns equal width.

FlutterError: Unable to load asset

I ran into this issue and very nearly gave up on Flutter until I stumbled upon the cause. In my case what I was doing was along the following lines

static Future<String> resourceText(String resName) async
{
 try
 { 
  ZLibCodec zlc = new ZLibCodec(gzip:false,raw:true,level:9);
  var data= await rootBundle.load('assets/path/to/$resName');
  String result = new 
  String.fromCharCodes(zlc.decode(puzzleData.buffer.asUint8List()));
  return puzzle;
 } catch(e)
 {
  debugPrint('Resource Error $resName $e');
  return ''; 
 } 
}

static Future<String> fallBackText(String textName) async
{
 if (testCondtion) return 'Some Required Text';
 else return resourceText('default');
} 

where Some Required Text was a text string sent back if the testCondition was being met. Failing that I was trying to pick up default text from the app resources and send that back instead. My mistake was in the line return resourceText('default');. After changing it to read return await resourceText('default') things worked just as expected.

This issue arises from the fact that rootBundle.load operates asynchronously. In order to return its results correctly we need to await their availability which I had failed to do. It strikes me as slightly surprising that neither the Flutter VSCode plugin nor the Flutter build process flag up this as an error. While there may well be other reasons why rootBundle.load fails this answer will, hopefully, help others who are running into mysterious asset load failures in Flutter.

FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF

For fpdf to work properly, there cannot be any output at all beside what fpdf generates. For example, this will work:

<?php
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

While this will not (note the leading space before the opening <? tag)

 <?php
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

Also, this will not work either (the echo will break it):

<?php
echo "About to create pdf";
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

I'm not sure about the drupal side of things, but I know that absolutely zero non-fpdf output is a requirement for fpdf to work.


add ob_start (); at the top and at the end add ob_end_flush();

<?php
    ob_start();
    require('fpdf.php');
    $pdf = new FPDF();
    $pdf->AddPage();
    $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
    $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
    $pdf->Output();
    ob_end_flush(); 
?>

give me an error as below:
FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF

to over come this error: go to fpdf.php in that,goto line number 996

function Output($name='', $dest='')

after that make changes like this:

function Output($name='', $dest='') {   
    ob_clean();     //Output PDF to so

Hi do you have a session header on the top of your page. or any includes If you have then try to add this codes on top pf your page it should works fine.

<?

while (ob_get_level())
ob_end_clean();
header("Content-Encoding: None", true);

?>

cheers :-)


In my case i had set:

Turning off the display_errors option, the report was generated successfully.

Efficiency of Java "Double Brace Initialization"?

Efficiency aside, I rarely find myself wishing for declarative collection creation outside of unit tests. I do believe that the double brace syntax is very readable.

Another way to achieve the declarative construction of lists specifically is to use Arrays.asList(T ...) like so:

List<String> aList = Arrays.asList("vanilla", "strawberry", "chocolate");

The limitation of this approach is of course that you cannot control the specific type of list to be generated.

What is the optimal way to compare dates in Microsoft SQL server?

Here is an example:

I've an Order table with a DateTime field called OrderDate. I want to retrieve all orders where the order date is equals to 01/01/2006. there are next ways to do it:

1) WHERE DateDiff(dd, OrderDate, '01/01/2006') = 0
2) WHERE Convert(varchar(20), OrderDate, 101) = '01/01/2006'
3) WHERE Year(OrderDate) = 2006 AND Month(OrderDate) = 1 and Day(OrderDate)=1
4) WHERE OrderDate LIKE '01/01/2006%'
5) WHERE OrderDate >= '01/01/2006'  AND OrderDate < '01/02/2006'

Looping through JSON with node.js

I would recommend taking advantage of the fact that nodeJS will always be ES5. Remember this isn't the browser folks you can depend on the language's implementation on being stable. That said I would recommend against ever using a for-in loop in nodeJS, unless you really want to do deep recursion up the prototype chain. For simple, traditional looping I would recommend making good use of Object.keys method, in ES5. If you view the following JSPerf test, especially if you use Chrome (since it has the same engine as nodeJS), you will get a rough idea of how much more performant using this method is than using a for-in loop (roughly 10 times faster). Here's a sample of the code:

 var keys = Object.keys( obj );
 for( var i = 0,length = keys.length; i < length; i++ ) {
     obj[ keys[ i ] ];
 }

Is it possible to indent JavaScript code in Notepad++?

JSTool is the best for stability.

Reference:

A Generic error occurred in GDI+ in Bitmap.Save method

for me it was a path issue when saving the image.

int count = Directory.EnumerateFiles(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/images/savedimages"), "*").Count();

var img = Base64ToImage(imgRaw);

string path = "images/savedimages/upImages" + (count + 1) + ".png";

img.Save(Path.Combine(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path)));

return path;

So I fixed it by adding the following forward slash

String path = "images/savedimages....

should be

String path = "/images/savedimages....

Hope that helps anyone stuck!

BULK INSERT with identity (auto-increment) column

Don't BULK INSERT into your real tables directly.

I would always

  1. insert into a staging table dbo.Employee_Staging (without the IDENTITY column) from the CSV file
  2. possibly edit / clean up / manipulate your imported data
  3. and then copy the data across to the real table with a T-SQL statement like:

    INSERT INTO dbo.Employee(Name, Address) 
       SELECT Name, Address
       FROM dbo.Employee_Staging
    

Streaming via RTSP or RTP in HTML5

My observations regarding the HTML 5 video tag and rtsp(rtp) streams are, that it only works with konqueror(KDE 4.4.1, Phonon-backend set to GStreamer). I got only video (no audio) with a H.264/AAC RTSP(RTP) stream.

The streams from http://media.esof2010.org/ didn't work with konqueror(KDE 4.4.1, Phonon-backend set to GStreamer).

Float and double datatype in Java

A float gives you approx. 6-7 decimal digits precision while a double gives you approx. 15-16. Also the range of numbers is larger for double.

A double needs 8 bytes of storage space while a float needs just 4 bytes.

Android: How to programmatically access the device serial number shown in the AVD manager (API Version 8)

Up to Android 7.1 (SDK 25)

Until Android 7.1 you will get it with:

Build.SERIAL

From Android 8 (SDK 26)

On Android 8 (SDK 26) and above, this field will return UNKNOWN and must be accessed with:

Build.getSerial()

which requires the dangerous permission android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE.

From Android Q (SDK 29)

Since Android Q using Build.getSerial() gets a bit more complicated by requiring:

android.Manifest.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE (which can only be acquired by system apps), or for the calling package to be the device or profile owner and have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission. This means most apps won't be able to uses this feature. See the Android Q announcement from Google.

See Android SDK reference


Best Practice for Unique Device Identifier

If you just require a unique identifier, it's best to avoid using hardware identifiers as Google continuously tries to make it harder to access them for privacy reasons. You could just generate a UUID.randomUUID().toString(); and save it the first time it needs to be accessed in e.g. shared preferences. Alternatively you could use ANDROID_ID which is a 8 byte long hex string unique to the device, user and (only Android 8+) app installation. For more info on that topic, see Best practices for unique identifiers.

Updating a dataframe column in spark

Returning a stream from File.OpenRead()

You forgot to reset the position of the memory stream:

private void Test()
{            
    System.IO.MemoryStream data = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    System.IO.Stream str = TestStream();

    str.CopyTo(data);
    // Reset memory stream
    data.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
    data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);                       
}

Update:

There is one more thing to note: It usually pays not to ignore the return values of methods. A more robust implementation should check how many bytes have been read after the call returns:

private void Test()
{            
    using(MemoryStream data = new MemoryStream())
    {
        using(Stream str = TestStream())
        {
           str.CopyTo(data);
        }
        // Reset memory stream
        data.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        byte[] buf = new byte[data.Length];
        int bytesRead = data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);

        Debug.Assert(bytesRead == data.Length, 
                    String.Format("Expected to read {0} bytes, but read {1}.",
                        data.Length, bytesRead));
    }                     
}

401 Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

i faced the same issue under IIS 8.5. A working solution for me was changing the IIS to display detailled errors. See answer from sna2stha. But i think it is not a good idea to forward detailed error messages to browsers in production enviroments. I added/changed the existingResponse attribute in the httpErrors-Section, so the IIS not handled any extisting Asp.net Response:

<system.webServer>
   <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />
</system.webServer>

This works for me.

console.writeline and System.out.println

First I am afraid your question contains a little mistake. There is not method writeline in class Console. Instead class Console provides method writer() that returns PrintWriter. This print writer has println().

Now what is the difference between

System.console().writer().println("hello from console");

and

System.out.println("hello system out");

If you run your application from command line I think there is no difference. But if console is unavailable System.console() returns null while System.out still exists. This may happen if you invoke your application and perform redirect of STDOUT to file.

Here is an example I have just implemented.

import java.io.Console;


public class TestConsole {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        System.out.println("console=" + console);
        console.writer().println("hello from console");
    }
}

When I ran the application from command prompt I got the following:

$ java TestConsole
console=java.io.Console@93dcd
hello from console

but when I redirected the STDOUT to file...

$ java TestConsole >/tmp/test
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at TestConsole.main(TestConsole.java:8)

Line 8 is console.writer().println().

Here is the content of /tmp/test

console=null

I hope my explanations help.

OpenCV error: the function is not implemented

If it's giving you errors with gtk, try qt.

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
cmake -D WITH_QT=ON ..
make
sudo make install

If this doesn't work, there's an easy way out.

sudo apt-get install libopencv-*

This will download all the required dependencies(although it seems that you have all the required libraries installed, but still you could try it once). This will probably install OpenCV 2.3.1 (Ubuntu 12.04). But since you have OpenCV 2.4.3 in /usr/local/lib include this path in /etc/ld.so.conf and do ldconfig. So now whenever you use OpenCV, you'd use the latest version. This is not the best way to do it but if you're still having problems with qt or gtk, try this once. This should work.

Update - 18th Jun 2019

I got this error on my Ubuntu(18.04.1 LTS) system for openCV 3.4.2, as the method call to cv2.imshow was failing (e.g., at the line of cv2.namedWindow(name) with error: cv2.error: OpenCV(3.4.2). The function is not implemented.). I am using anaconda. Just the below 2 steps helped me resolve:

conda remove opencv
conda install -c conda-forge opencv=4.1.0

If you are using pip, you can try

pip install opencv-contrib-python

using batch echo with special characters

You can escape shell metacharacters with ^:

echo ^<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?^> > myfile.xml

Note that since echo is a shell built-in it doesn't follow the usual conventions regarding quoting, so just quoting the argument will output the quotes instead of removing them.

Disable Required validation attribute under certain circumstances

Yes it is possible to disable Required Attribute. Create your own custom class attribute (sample code called ChangeableRequired) to extent from RequiredAtribute and add a Disabled Property and override the IsValid method to check if it is disbaled. Use reflection to set the disabled poperty, like so:

Custom Attribute:

namespace System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
{
    public class ChangeableRequired : RequiredAttribute
    {
       public bool Disabled { get; set; }

       public override bool IsValid(object value)
       {
          if (Disabled)
          {
            return true;
          }

          return base.IsValid(value);
       }
    }
}

Update you property to use your new custom Attribute:

 class Forex
 {
 ....
    [ChangeableRequired]
    public decimal? ExchangeRate {get;set;}
 ....
 }

where you need to disable the property use reflection to set it:

Forex forex = new Forex();
// Get Property Descriptor from instance with the Property name
PropertyDescriptor descriptor = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(forex.GetType())["ExchangeRate"];
//Search for Attribute
ChangeableRequired attrib =  (ChangeableRequired)descriptor.Attributes[typeof(ChangeableRequired)];

// Set Attribute to true to Disable
attrib.Disabled = true;

This feels nice and clean?

NB: The validation above will be disabled while your object instance is alive\active...

How do I copy items from list to list without foreach?

This method will create a copy of your list but your type should be serializable.

Use:

List<Student> lstStudent = db.Students.Where(s => s.DOB < DateTime.Now).ToList().CopyList(); 

Method:

public static List<T> CopyList<T>(this List<T> lst)
    {
        List<T> lstCopy = new List<T>();
        foreach (var item in lst)
        {
            using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
                formatter.Serialize(stream, item);
                stream.Position = 0;
                lstCopy.Add((T)formatter.Deserialize(stream));
            }
        }
        return lstCopy;
    }

Combining COUNT IF AND VLOOK UP EXCEL

You can combine this all into one formula, but you need to use a regular IF first to find out if the VLOOKUP came back with something, then use your COUNTIF if it did.

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!A1:A9,1,FALSE)),"Not there",COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A9,B1))

In this case, Sheet2-A1:A9 is the range I was searching, and Sheet1-B1 had the value I was looking for ("To retire" in your case).

Best way to make a shell script daemon?

Just backgrounding your script (./myscript &) will not daemonize it. See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/programmer/faq/, section 1.7, which describes what's necessary to become a daemon. You must disconnect it from the terminal so that SIGHUP does not kill it. You can take a shortcut to make a script appear to act like a daemon;

nohup ./myscript 0<&- &>/dev/null &

will do the job. Or, to capture both stderr and stdout to a file:

nohup ./myscript 0<&- &> my.admin.log.file &

However, there may be further important aspects that you need to consider. For example:

  • You will still have a file descriptor open to the script, which means that the directory it's mounted in would be unmountable. To be a true daemon you should chdir("/") (or cd / inside your script), and fork so that the parent exits, and thus the original descriptor is closed.
  • Perhaps run umask 0. You may not want to depend on the umask of the caller of the daemon.

For an example of a script that takes all of these aspects into account, see Mike S' answer.

"Cannot allocate an object of abstract type" error

In C++ a class with at least one pure virtual function is called abstract class. You can not create objects of that class, but may only have pointers or references to it.

If you are deriving from an abstract class, then make sure you override and define all pure virtual functions for your class.

From your snippet Your class AliceUniversity seems to be an abstract class. It needs to override and define all the pure virtual functions of the classes Graduate and UniversityGraduate.

Pure virtual functions are the ones with = 0; at the end of declaration.

Example: virtual void doSomething() = 0;

For a specific answer, you will need to post the definition of the class for which you get the error and the classes from which that class is deriving.

Getting list of items inside div using Selenium Webdriver

alternatively, you can try writing a specific element:

    //label[1] is the first element.

How to compile or convert sass / scss to css with node-sass (no Ruby)?

In Windows 10 using node v6.11.2 and npm v3.10.10, in order to execute directly in any folder:

> node-sass [options] <input.scss> [output.css]

I only followed the instructions in node-sass Github:

  1. Add node-gyp prerequisites by running as Admin in a Powershell (it takes a while):

    > npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
    
  2. In a normal command-line shell (Win+R+cmd+Enter) run:

    > npm install -g node-gyp
    > npm install -g node-sass
    

    The -g places these packages under %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules. You may check that npm\node_modules\node-sass\bin\node-sass now exists.

  3. Check if your local account (not the System) PATH environment variable contains:

    %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm
    

    If this path is not present, npm and node may still run, but the modules bin files will not!

Close the previous shell and reopen a new one and run either > node-gyp or > node-sass.

Note:

  • The windows-build-tools may not be necessary (if no compiling is done? I'd like to read if someone made it without installing these tools), but it did add to the admin account the GYP_MSVS_VERSION environment variable with 2015 as a value.
  • I am also able to run directly other modules with bin files, such as > uglifyjs main.js main.min.js and > mocha

Escape @ character in razor view engine

Actually @ should be used with the Razor syntax Keywords or to the variable/model to bind a Value.

For Eg: if test is assigned with value i.e @ { var test = "ABC" } then you can get the value by settings as @test anywhere is cshtml page in html part. otherwise, simple use as @Html.DisplayName("test")

Can't build create-react-app project with custom PUBLIC_URL

This problem becomes apparent when you try to host a react app in github pages.

How I fixed this,

In in my main application file, called app.tsx, where I include the router. I set the basename, eg, <BrowserRouter basename="/Seans-TypeScript-ReactJS-Redux-Boilerplate/">

Note that it is a relative url, this completely simplifies the ability to run locally and hosted. The basename value, matches the repository title on GitHub. This is the path that GitHub pages will auto create.

That is all I needed to do.

See working example hosted on GitHub pages at

https://sean-bradley.github.io/Seans-TypeScript-ReactJS-Redux-Boilerplate/

Oracle: how to set user password unexpire?

While applying the new profile to the user,you should also check for resource limits are "turned on" for the database as a whole i.e.RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE

Let check the parameter value.
If in Case it is :

SQL> show parameter resource_limit
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ---------
resource_limit                       boolean     FALSE
Its mean resource limit is off,we ist have to enable it. 

Use the ALTER SYSTEM statement to turn on resource limits. 

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE;
System altered.

R: numeric 'envir' arg not of length one in predict()

There are several problems here:

  1. The newdata argument of predict() needs a predictor variable. You should thus pass it values for Coupon, instead of Total, which is the response variable in your model.

  2. The predictor variable needs to be passed in as a named column in a data frame, so that predict() knows what the numbers its been handed represent. (The need for this becomes clear when you consider more complicated models, having more than one predictor variable).

  3. For this to work, your original call should pass df in through the data argument, rather than using it directly in your formula. (This way, the name of the column in newdata will be able to match the name on the RHS of the formula).

With those changes incorporated, this will work:

model <- lm(Total ~ Coupon, data=df)
new <- data.frame(Coupon = df$Coupon)
predict(model, newdata = new, interval="confidence")

How to take backup of a single table in a MySQL database?

How to set aliases in the Git Bash for Windows?

To configure bash aliases, it's the same as if you were on a Unix platform: put them in a .bashrc in your home:

cd
echo alias ll=\'ls -l\' >> .bashrc

To have this change taken into account you should then either source this file (ie: run source .bashrc) or restart your terminal

(In some cases* you can find equivalent for .bashrc file in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_\etc\profile.d\aliases.sh. And you should add aliases in aliases.sh.)

(*this case is when you install Git for Windows GUI release from https://git-scm.com/download/win that contains GitBash)

Does Google Chrome work with Selenium IDE (as Firefox does)?

No, Google Chrome does not work with Selenium IDE. As Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin it works only with FF.

According to your last portion of question: Or is there any alternative tool which can work with Chrome? The possible answer is as follows:

You can use Sahi with Chrome. Sahi Test Automation tool supports Chrome, Firefox and IE. You can visit for details:

At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs

apache-tomcat-8.0.33

If you want to enable debug logging in tomcat for TLD scanned jars then you have to change /conf/logging.properties file in tomcat directory.

uncomment the line :
org.apache.jasper.servlet.TldScanner.level = FINE

FINE level is for debug log.

This should work for normal tomcat.

If the tomcat is running under eclipse. Then you have to set the path of tomcat logging.properties in eclipse.

  1. Open servers view in eclipse.Stop the server.Double click your tomcat server.
    This will open Overview window for the server.
  2. Click on Open launch configuration.This will open another window.
  3. Go to the Arguments tab(second tab).Go to VM arguments section.
  4. paste this two line there :-
    -Djava.util.logging.config.file="{CATALINA_HOME}\conf\logging.properties"
    -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
    Here CATALINA_HOME is your PC's corresponding tomcat server directory.
  5. Save the Changes.Restart the server.

Now the jar files that scanned for TLDs should show in the log.

ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ or ZeroMQ or

There is some discussion in the comments of this blog post, about Twitter writing their own message queue, which may be interesting.

Steve did extensive load and stress testing of ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, etc. ActiveMQ is actually quite slow (much slower than Kestrel), RabbitMQ consistently crashes with too many producers and too few consumers.

You probably won't have Twitter-like load initially however :)

Splitting dataframe into multiple dataframes

The method based on list comprehension and groupby- Which stores all the split dataframe in list variable and can be accessed using the index.

Example

ans = [pd.DataFrame(y) for x, y in DF.groupby('column_name', as_index=False)]

ans[0]
ans[0].column_name

Error while sending QUERY packet

In /etc/my.cnf add:

  max_allowed_packet=32M

It worked for me. You can verify by going into PHPMyAdmin and opening a SQL command window and executing:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE  'max_allowed_packet'

How to find the files that are created in the last hour in unix

sudo find / -Bmin 60

From the man page:

-Bmin n

True if the difference between the time of a file's inode creation and the time find was started, rounded up to the next full minute, is n minutes.

Obviously, you may want to set up a bit differently, but this primary seems the best solution for searching for any file created in the last N minutes.

Does Java read integers in little endian or big endian?

There are no unsigned integers in Java. All integers are signed and in big endian.

On the C side the each byte has tne LSB at the start is on the left and the MSB at the end.

It sounds like you are using LSB as Least significant bit, are you? LSB usually stands for least significant byte. Endianness is not bit based but byte based.

To convert from unsigned byte to a Java integer:

int i = (int) b & 0xFF;

To convert from unsigned 32-bit little-endian in byte[] to Java long (from the top of my head, not tested):

long l = (long)b[0] & 0xFF;
l += ((long)b[1] & 0xFF) << 8;
l += ((long)b[2] & 0xFF) << 16;
l += ((long)b[3] & 0xFF) << 24;

Looping over elements in jQuery

This is the simplest way to loop through a form accessing only the form elements. Inside the each function you can check and build whatever you want. When building objects note that you will want to declare it outside of the each function.

EDIT JSFIDDLE

The below will work

$('form[name=formName]').find('input, textarea, select').each(function() {
    alert($(this).attr('name'));
});

"Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist" error connecting to SQL Server from PHP

Responding because this answer came up first for search when I was having the same issue:

[08S01][unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist

MSSQL named instances have to be configured properly without setting the port. (documentation on the freetds config says set instance or port NOT BOTH)

freetds.conf

[Name]
host = Server.com
instance = instance_name
#port = port is found automatically, don't define explicitly
tds version = 8.0
client charset = UTF-8

And in odbc.ini just because you can set Port, DON'T when you are using a named instance.

Chrome extension id - how to find it

However, you must click the Developer Mode checkbox at top of Extensions page to see them.

Best way to get hostname with php

For PHP >= 5.3.0 use this:

$hostname = gethostname();

For PHP < 5.3.0 but >= 4.2.0 use this:

$hostname = php_uname('n');

For PHP < 4.2.0 use this:

$hostname = getenv('HOSTNAME'); 
if(!$hostname) $hostname = trim(`hostname`); 
if(!$hostname) $hostname = exec('echo $HOSTNAME');
if(!$hostname) $hostname = preg_replace('#^\w+\s+(\w+).*$#', '$1', exec('uname -a'));

Getting number of days in a month

 int days = DateTime.DaysInMonth(int year,int month);

or

 int days=System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Calendar.GetDaysInMonth(int year,int month);

you have to pass year and month as int then days in month will be return on currespoting year and month

IEnumerable<object> a = new IEnumerable<object>(); Can I do this?

You can for example create an instance of List<object>, which implements IEnumerable<object>. Example:

List<object> list = new List<object>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(4);
list.Add(5);

IEnumerable<object> en = list;
CallFunction(en);

Dependency injection with Jersey 2.0

Late but I hope this helps someone.

I have my JAX RS defined like this:

@Path("/examplepath")
@RequestScoped //this make the diference
public class ExampleResource {

Then, in my code finally I can inject:

@Inject
SomeManagedBean bean;

In my case, the SomeManagedBean is an ApplicationScoped bean.

Hope this helps to anyone.

How to plot vectors in python using matplotlib

What did you expect the following to do?

v1 = [0,0],[M[i,0],M[i,1]]
v1 = [M[i,0]],[M[i,1]]

This is making two different tuples, and you overwrite what you did the first time... Anyway, matplotlib does not understand what a "vector" is in the sense you are using. You have to be explicit, and plot "arrows":

In [5]: ax = plt.axes()

In [6]: ax.arrow(0, 0, *v1, head_width=0.05, head_length=0.1)
Out[6]: <matplotlib.patches.FancyArrow at 0x114fc8358>

In [7]: ax.arrow(0, 0, *v2, head_width=0.05, head_length=0.1)
Out[7]: <matplotlib.patches.FancyArrow at 0x115bb1470>

In [8]: plt.ylim(-5,5)
Out[8]: (-5, 5)

In [9]: plt.xlim(-5,5)
Out[9]: (-5, 5)

In [10]: plt.show()

Result:

How to list all functions in a Python module?

Use inspect.getmembers to get all the variables/classes/functions etc. in a module, and pass in inspect.isfunction as the predicate to get just the functions:

from inspect import getmembers, isfunction
from my_project import my_module

functions_list = [o for o in getmembers(my_module) if isfunction(o[1])]

getmembers returns a list of (object_name, object) tuples sorted alphabetically by name.

You can replace isfunction with any of the other isXXX functions in the inspect module.

How to open local files in Swagger-UI

This is how I worked with local swagger JSON

  1. Have tomcat running in local machine
  2. Download Swagger UI application and unzip it into tomcat's /webapps/swagger folder
  3. Drop local swagger json file inside /webapps/swagger folder of tomcat
  4. Start up tomcat (/bin/sh startup.sh)
  5. Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/swagger/
  6. type your swagger json file in the Swagger Explore test box and this should render the APIs.

Hope this works for you

Google Maps JS API v3 - Simple Multiple Marker Example

Add a marker in your program is very easy. You just may add this code:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
  position: myLatLng,
  map: map,
  title: 'Hello World!'
});

The following fields are particularly important and commonly set when you construct a marker:

  • position (required) specifies a LatLng identifying the initial location of the marker. One way of retrieving a LatLng is by using the Geocoding service.
  • map (optional) specifies the Map on which to place the marker. If you do not specify a map on construction of the marker, the marker is created but is not attached to (or displayed on) the map. You may add the marker later by calling the marker's setMap() method.

Note, in the example, the title field set the marker's title who will appear as a tooltip.

You may consult the Google api documenation here.


This is a complete example to set one marker in a map. Be care full, you have to replace YOUR_API_KEY by your google API key:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <title>Simple markers</title>
<style>
  /* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
   * element that contains the map. */
  #map {
    height: 100%;
  }
  /* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
  html, body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>
 <div id="map"></div>
<script>

  function initMap() {
    var myLatLng = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044};

    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
      zoom: 4,
      center: myLatLng
    });

    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: myLatLng,
      map: map,
      title: 'Hello World!'
    });
  }
</script>
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">
</script>


Now, if you want to plot markers of an array in a map, you should do like this:

var locations = [
  ['Bondi Beach', -33.890542, 151.274856, 4],
  ['Coogee Beach', -33.923036, 151.259052, 5],
  ['Cronulla Beach', -34.028249, 151.157507, 3],
  ['Manly Beach', -33.80010128657071, 151.28747820854187, 2],
  ['Maroubra Beach', -33.950198, 151.259302, 1]
];

function initMap() {
  var myLatLng = {lat: -33.90, lng: 151.16};

  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 10,
    center: myLatLng
    });

  var count;

  for (count = 0; count < locations.length; count++) {  
    new google.maps.Marker({
      position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[count][1], locations[count][2]),
      map: map,
      title: locations[count][0]
      });
   }
}

This example give me the following result:

enter image description here


You can, also, add an infoWindow in your pin. You just need this code:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[count][1], locations[count][2]),
    map: map
    });

marker.info = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
    content: 'Hello World!'
    });

You can have the Google's documentation about infoWindows here.


Now, we can open the infoWindow when the marker is "clik" like this:

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
     position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[count][1], locations[count][2]),
     map: map
     });

marker.info = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
     content: locations [count][0]
     });


google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {  
    // this = marker
    var marker_map = this.getMap();
    this.info.open(marker_map, this);
    // Note: If you call open() without passing a marker, the InfoWindow will use the position specified upon construction through the InfoWindowOptions object literal.
            });

Note, you can have some documentation about Listener here in google developer.


And, finally, we can plot an infoWindow in a marker if the user click on it. This is my complete code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Info windows</title>
    <style>
    /* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
    * element that contains the map. */
    #map {
        height: 100%;
    }
    /* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
    html, body {
        height: 100%;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="map"></div>
    <script>

    var locations = [
        ['Bondi Beach', -33.890542, 151.274856, 4],
        ['Coogee Beach', -33.923036, 151.259052, 5],
        ['Cronulla Beach', -34.028249, 151.157507, 3],
        ['Manly Beach', -33.80010128657071, 151.28747820854187, 2],
        ['Maroubra Beach', -33.950198, 151.259302, 1]
    ];


    // When the user clicks the marker, an info window opens.

    function initMap() {
        var myLatLng = {lat: -33.90, lng: 151.16};

        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
            zoom: 10,
            center: myLatLng
            });

        var count=0;


        for (count = 0; count < locations.length; count++) {  

            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[count][1], locations[count][2]),
                map: map
                });

            marker.info = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
                content: locations [count][0]
                });


            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {  
                // this = marker
                var marker_map = this.getMap();
                this.info.open(marker_map, this);
                // Note: If you call open() without passing a marker, the InfoWindow will use the position specified upon construction through the InfoWindowOptions object literal.
                });
        }
    }
    </script>
    <script async defer
    src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">

Truncating a table in a stored procedure

try the below code

Oracle SQL convert date format from DD-Mon-YY to YYYYMM

As offer_date is an number, and is of lower accuracy than your real dates, this may work...
- Convert your real date to a string of format YYYYMM
- Conver that value to an INT
- Compare the result you your offer_date

SELECT
  *
FROM
  offers
WHERE
    offer_date = (SELECT CAST(to_char(create_date, 'YYYYMM') AS INT) FROM customers where id = '12345678')
AND offer_rate > 0 

Also, by doing all the manipulation on the create_date you only do the processing on one value.

Additionally, had you manipulated the offer_date you would not be able to utilise any index on that field, and so force SCANs instead of SEEKs.

jQuery - on change input text

Seems to me like you are updating the value of the text field in javascript. onchange event will be triggered only when you key-in data and tab out of the text field.

One workaround is to trigger the textbox change event when modifying the textbox value from the script. See below,

$("#kat").change(function(){ 
    alert("Hello");
});


$('<tab_cell>').click (function () {
   $('#kat')
      .val($(this).text()) //updating the value of the textbox 
      .change();           //trigger change event.
});

How to assign the output of a Bash command to a variable?

You can also do way more complex commands, just to round out the examples above. So, say I want to get the number of processes running on the system and store it in the ${NUM_PROCS} variable.

All you have to so is generate the command pipeline and stuff it's output (the process count) into the variable.

It looks something like this:

NUM_PROCS=$(ps -e | sed 1d | wc -l)

I hope that helps add some handy information to this discussion.

AngularJS: ng-model not binding to ng-checked for checkboxes

The ng-model and ng-checked directives should not be used together

From the Docs:

ngChecked

Sets the checked attribute on the element, if the expression inside ngChecked is truthy.

Note that this directive should not be used together with ngModel, as this can lead to unexpected behavior.

AngularJS ng-checked Directive API Reference


Instead set the desired initial value from the controller:

<input type="checkbox" name="test" ng-model="testModel['item1']" ?n?g?-?c?h?e?c?k?e?d?=?"?t?r?u?e?"? />
    Testing<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="test" ng-model="testModel['item2']" /> Testing 2<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="test" ng-model="testModel['item3']" /> Testing 3<br />
<input type="button" ng-click="submit()" value="Submit" />
$scope.testModel = { item1: true };
