How to download/checkout a project from Google Code in Windows?

If you install TortoiseSVN you can use SVN under windows. It also gives you the SVN binaries. You needn't do the checkout from the command-line though as it integrates into Windows Explorer for you.

Open file with associated application

This is an old thread but just in case anyone comes across it like I did. pi.FileName needs to be set to the file name (and possibly full path to file ) of the executable you want to use to open your file. The below code works for me to open a video file with VLC.

var path = files[currentIndex].fileName;
var pi = new ProcessStartInfo(path)
{
    Arguments = Path.GetFileName(path),
    UseShellExecute = true,
    WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path),
    FileName = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe",
    Verb = "OPEN"
};
Process.Start(pi)

Tigran's answer works but will use windows' default application to open your file, so using ProcessStartInfo may be useful if you want to open the file with an application that is not the default.

ActiveRecord OR query

If you want to use an OR operator on one column's value, you can pass an array to .where and ActiveRecord will use IN(value,other_value):

Model.where(:column => ["value", "other_value"]

outputs:

SELECT `table_name`.* FROM `table_name` WHERE `table_name`.`column` IN ('value', 'other_value')

This should achieve the equivalent of an OR on a single column

How can I set the font-family & font-size inside of a div?

You need a semicolon after font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif. This will make your updated code the following:

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DIV Font</title>

        <style>
            .my_text
            {
                font-family:    Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
                font-size:      40px;
                font-weight:    bold;
            }
        </style>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="my_text">some text</div>
    </body>
</html>

How to display multiple images in one figure correctly?

Here is my approach that you may try:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w=10
h=10
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
columns = 4
rows = 5
for i in range(1, columns*rows +1):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i)
    plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()

The resulting image:

Edit 1

Since this answer is popular beyond my expectation. And I see that a small change is needed to enable flexibility for the manipulation of the individual plots. So that I offer this new version to the original code. In essence, it provides:-

access to individual axes of subplots
possibility to plot more features on selected axes/subplot

New code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w = 10
h = 10
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9, 13))
columns = 4
rows = 5

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# ax enables access to manipulate each of subplots
ax = []

for i in range(columns*rows):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    # create subplot and append to ax
    ax.append( fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i+1) )
    ax[-1].set_title("ax:"+str(i))  # set title
    plt.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)

# do extra plots on selected axes/subplots
# note: index starts with 0
ax[2].plot(xs, 3*ys)
ax[19].plot(ys**2, xs)

plt.show()  # finally, render the plot

The resulting plot:

Edit 2

In the previous example, the code provides access to the sub-plots with single index, which is inconvenient when the figure has many rows/columns of sub-plots. Here is an alternative of it. The code below provides access to the sub-plots with [row_index][column_index], which is more suitable for manipulation of array of many sub-plots.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# settings
h, w = 10, 10        # for raster image
nrows, ncols = 5, 4  # array of sub-plots
figsize = [6, 8]     # figure size, inches

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting on selected sub-plots
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# create figure (fig), and array of axes (ax)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=nrows, ncols=ncols, figsize=figsize)

# plot simple raster image on each sub-plot
for i, axi in enumerate(ax.flat):
    # i runs from 0 to (nrows*ncols-1)
    # axi is equivalent with ax[rowid][colid]
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    axi.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)
    # get indices of row/column
    rowid = i // ncols
    colid = i % ncols
    # write row/col indices as axes' title for identification
    axi.set_title("Row:"+str(rowid)+", Col:"+str(colid))

# one can access the axes by ax[row_id][col_id]
# do additional plotting on ax[row_id][col_id] of your choice
ax[0][2].plot(xs, 3*ys, color='red', linewidth=3)
ax[4][3].plot(ys**2, xs, color='green', linewidth=3)

plt.tight_layout(True)
plt.show()

The resulting plot:

Get first and last date of current month with JavaScript or jQuery

Very simple, no library required:

var date = new Date();
var firstDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 1);
var lastDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1, 0);

or you might prefer:

var date = new Date(), y = date.getFullYear(), m = date.getMonth();
var firstDay = new Date(y, m, 1);
var lastDay = new Date(y, m + 1, 0);

EDIT

Some browsers will treat two digit years as being in the 20th century, so that:

new Date(14, 0, 1);

gives 1 January, 1914. To avoid that, create a Date then set its values using setFullYear:

var date = new Date();
date.setFullYear(14, 0, 1); // 1 January, 14

Find the maximum value in a list of tuples in Python

In addition to max, you can also sort:

>>> lis
[(101, 153), (255, 827), (361, 961)]
>>> sorted(lis,key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)[0]
(361, 961)

Angular HttpPromise: difference between `success`/`error` methods and `then`'s arguments

.then() is chainable and will wait for previous .then() to resolve.

.success() and .error() can be chained, but they will all fire at once (so not much point to that)

.success() and .error() are just nice for simple calls (easy makers):

$http.post('/getUser').success(function(user){ 
   ... 
})

so you don't have to type this:

$http.post('getUser').then(function(response){
  var user = response.data;
})

But generally i handler all errors with .catch():

$http.get(...)
    .then(function(response){ 
      // successHandler
      // do some stuff
      return $http.get('/somethingelse') // get more data
    })
    .then(anotherSuccessHandler)
    .catch(errorHandler)

If you need to support <= IE8 then write your .catch() and .finally() like this (reserved methods in IE):

    .then(successHandler)
    ['catch'](errorHandler)

Working Examples:

Here's something I wrote in more codey format to refresh my memory on how it all plays out with handling errors etc:

Is it possible to stop JavaScript execution?

Creating Dynamic button with click event in JavaScript

Wow you're close. Edits in comments:

_x000D_

function add(type) {_x000D_
  //Create an input type dynamically.   _x000D_
  var element = document.createElement("input");_x000D_
  //Assign different attributes to the element. _x000D_
  element.type = type;_x000D_
  element.value = type; // Really? You want the default value to be the type string?_x000D_
  element.name = type; // And the name too?_x000D_
  element.onclick = function() { // Note this is a function_x000D_
    alert("blabla");_x000D_
  };_x000D_
_x000D_
  var foo = document.getElementById("fooBar");_x000D_
  //Append the element in page (in span).  _x000D_
  foo.appendChild(element);_x000D_
}_x000D_
document.getElementById("btnAdd").onclick = function() {_x000D_
  add("text");_x000D_
};

_x000D_

<input type="button" id="btnAdd" value="Add Text Field">_x000D_
<p id="fooBar">Fields:</p>

_x000D_

Now, instead of setting the onclick property of the element, which is called "DOM0 event handling," you might consider using addEventListener (on most browsers) or attachEvent (on all but very recent Microsoft browsers) — you'll have to detect and handle both cases — as that form, called "DOM2 event handling," has more flexibility. But if you don't need multiple handlers and such, the old DOM0 way works fine.

Separately from the above: You might consider using a good JavaScript library like jQuery, Prototype, YUI, Closure, or any of several others. They smooth over browsers differences like the addEventListener / attachEvent thing, provide useful utility features, and various other things. Obviously there's nothing a library can do that you can't do without one, as the libraries are just JavaScript code. But when you use a good library with a broad user base, you get the benefit of a huge amount of work already done by other people dealing with those browsers differences, etc.

Is there a way I can capture my iPhone screen as a video?

Short of using a video camera, no.

Many youtube videos for demonstrating iPhone applications are made with a screen grabber application (such as iShowU, ScreenFlow, or Snapz Pro) and the simulator. Be aware that the speed of response in the simulator can be dramatically different than a device - so it's possible to get effects (and miss) with the simulator you'll never see on a device. In particular, default animations can flash by in the simulator, where they just look quick on a device.

TempData keep() vs peek()

don't they both keep a value for another request?

Yes they do, but when the first one is void, the second one returns and object:

public void Keep(string key)
{
    _retainedKeys.Add(key); // just adds the key to the collection for retention
}

public object Peek(string key)
{
    object value;
    _data.TryGetValue(key, out value);
    return value; // returns an object without marking it for deletion
}

Height of status bar in Android

Kotlin version that combines two best solutions

If status_bar_height is not present, calculates the status bar height from Window decor

Css Move element from left to right animated

It's because you aren't giving the un-hovered state a right attribute.

right isn't set so it's trying to go from nothing to 0px. Obviously because it has nothing to go to, it just 'warps' over.

If you give the unhovered state a right:90%;, it will transition how you like.

Just as a side note, if you still want it to be on the very left of the page, you can use the calc css function.

Example:

right: calc(100% - 100px)
                     ^ width of div

You don't have to use left then.

Also, you can't transition using left or right auto and will give the same 'warp' effect.

_x000D_

div {_x000D_
    width:100px;_x000D_
    height:100px;_x000D_

    transition:2s;_x000D_

    -moz-transition:2s;_x000D_
    position:absolute;_x000D_

How should we manage jdk8 stream for null values

If you just want to filter null values out of a stream, you can simply use a method reference to java.util.Objects.nonNull(Object). From its documentation:

This method exists to be used as a Predicate, filter(Objects::nonNull)

For example:

List<String> list = Arrays.asList( null, "Foo", null, "Bar", null, null);

list.stream()
    .filter( Objects::nonNull )  // <-- Filter out null values
    .forEach( System.out::println );

This will print:

Foo
Bar

Print "hello world" every X seconds

This is the simple way to use thread in java:

for(int i = 0; i< 10; i++) {
    try {
        //sending the actual Thread of execution to sleep X milliseconds
        Thread.sleep(3000);
    } catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception : "+e.getMessage());
    }
    System.out.println("Hello world!");
}

Git adding files to repo

This is actually a multi-step process. First you'll need to add all your files to the current stage:

git add .

You can verify that your files will be added when you commit by checking the status of the current stage:

git status

The console should display a message that lists all of the files that are currently staged, like this:

# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
#   new file:   README
#   new file:   src/somefile.js
#

If it all looks good then you're ready to commit. Note that the commit action only commits to your local repository.

git commit -m "some message goes here"

If you haven't connected your local repository to a remote one yet, you'll have to do that now. Assuming your remote repository is hosted on GitHub and named "Some-Awesome-Project", your command is going to look something like this:

git remote add origin [email protected]:username/Some-Awesome-Project

It's a bit confusing, but by convention we refer to the remote repository as 'origin' and the initial local repository as 'master'. When you're ready to push your commits to the remote repository (origin), you'll need to use the 'push' command:

git push origin master

php $_GET and undefined index

Actually none of the proposed answers, although a good practice, would remove the warning.

For the sake of correctness, I'd do the following:

function getParameter($param, $defaultValue) {
    if (array_key_exists($param, $_GET)) {
        $value=$_GET[$param];
        return isSet($value)?$value:$defaultValue;
    }
    return $defaultValue;
}

This way, I check the _GET array for the key to exist without triggering the Warning. It's not a good idea to disable the warnings because a lot of times they are at least interesting to take a look.

To use the function you just do:

$myvar = getParameter("getparamer", "defaultValue")

so if the parameter exists, you get the value, and if it doesnt, you get the defaultValue.

Should I use alias or alias_method?

Apart from the syntax, the main difference is in the scoping:

# scoping with alias_method
class User

  def full_name
    puts "Johnnie Walker"
  end

  def self.add_rename
    alias_method :name, :full_name
  end

end

class Developer < User
  def full_name
    puts "Geeky geek"
  end
  add_rename
end

Developer.new.name #=> 'Geeky geek'

In the above case method “name” picks the method “full_name” defined in “Developer” class. Now lets try with alias.

class User

  def full_name
    puts "Johnnie Walker"
  end

  def self.add_rename
    alias name full_name
  end
end

class Developer < User
  def full_name
    puts "Geeky geek"
  end
  add_rename
end

Developer.new.name #=> 'Johnnie Walker'

With the usage of alias the method “name” is not able to pick the method “full_name” defined in Developer.

This is because alias is a keyword and it is lexically scoped. It means it treats self as the value of self at the time the source code was read . In contrast alias_method treats self as the value determined at the run time.

How to create query parameters in Javascript?

Zabba has provided in a comment on the currently accepted answer a suggestion that to me is the best solution: use jQuery.param().

If I use jQuery.param() on the data in the original question, then the code is simply:

const params = jQuery.param({
    var1: 'value',
    var2: 'value'
});

The variable params will be

"var1=value&var2=value"

For more complicated examples, inputs and outputs, see the jQuery.param() documentation.

Finding the direction of scrolling in a UIScrollView?

In all upper answers two major ways to solve the problem is using panGestureRecognizer or contentOffset. Both methods have their cons and pros.

Method 1: panGestureRecognizer

When you use panGestureRecognizer like what @followben suggested, if you don't want to programmatically scroll your scroll view, it works properly.

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{ 
    if ([scrollView.panGestureRecognizer translationInView:scrollView.superview].x > 0) {
        // handle dragging to the right
    } else {
        // handle dragging to the left
    }
}

Cons

But if you move scroll view with following code, upper code can not recognize it:

setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 100, y: 0), animation: false)

Method 2: contentOffset

var lastContentOffset: CGPoint = CGPoint.zero

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    if (self.lastContentOffset.x > scrollView.contentOffset.x) {
        // scroll to right
    } else if self.lastContentOffset.x < scrollView.contentOffset.x {
        // scroll to left
    }
    self.lastContentOffset = self.scrollView.contentOffset
}

Cons

If you want to change contentOffset programmatically, during scroll (like when you want to create infinite scroll), this method makes problem, because you might change contentOffset during changing content views places and in this time, upper code jump in that you scroll to right or left.

You have done it correctly. The pull request will automatically update. The process is:

Open pull request
Commit changes based on feedback in your local repo
Push to the relevant branch of your fork

The pull request will automatically add the new commits at the bottom of the pull request discussion (ie, it's already there, scroll down!)

Iterating through directories with Python

From python >= 3.5 onward, you can use **, glob.iglob(path/**, recursive=True) and it seems the most pythonic solution, i.e.:

import glob, os

for filename in glob.iglob('/pardadox-music/**', recursive=True):
    if os.path.isfile(filename): # filter dirs
        print(filename)

Output:

/pardadox-music/modules/her1.mod
/pardadox-music/modules/her2.mod
...

Notes:
1 - glob.iglob

glob.iglob(pathname, recursive=False)

Return an iterator which yields the same values as glob() without actually storing them all simultaneously.

2 - If recursive is True, the pattern '**' will match any files and zero or more directories and subdirectories.

3 - If the directory contains files starting with . they won’t be matched by default. For example, consider a directory containing card.gif and .card.gif:

>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('*.gif') ['card.gif'] 
>>> glob.glob('.c*')['.card.gif']

4 - You can also use rglob(pattern), which is the same as calling glob() with **/ added in front of the given relative pattern.

Execute method on startup in Spring

    System.out.println("This prints at startup.");
  }
}

And do this in myDispatcher-servlet.java:

How to select first and last TD in a row?

If the row contains some leading (or trailing) th tags before the td you should use the :first-of-type and the :last-of-type selectors. Otherwise the first td won't be selected if it's not the first element of the row.

This gives:

td:first-of-type, td:last-of-type {
    /* styles */
}

How do I determine the size of an object in Python?

For numpy arrays, getsizeof doesn't work - for me it always returns 40 for some reason:

from pylab import *
from sys import getsizeof
A = rand(10)
B = rand(10000)

Then (in ipython):

In [64]: getsizeof(A)
Out[64]: 40

In [65]: getsizeof(B)
Out[65]: 40

Happily, though:

In [66]: A.nbytes
Out[66]: 80

In [67]: B.nbytes
Out[67]: 80000

    ['column_1', '=', 'value_1'],
    ['column_2', '<>', 'value_2'],
    [COLUMN, OPERATOR, VALUE],
    ...
])

Personally I haven't found use-case for this over just multiple where calls, but fact is you can use it.

Since June 2014 you can pass an array to where

As long as you want all the wheres use and operator, you can group them this way:

$matchThese = ['field' => 'value', 'another_field' => 'another_value', ...];

// if you need another group of wheres as an alternative:
$orThose = ['yet_another_field' => 'yet_another_value', ...];

Then:

$results = User::where($matchThese)->get();

// with another group
$results = User::where($matchThese)
    ->orWhere($orThose)
    ->get();

The above will result in such query:

SELECT * FROM users
  WHERE (field = value AND another_field = another_value AND ...)
  OR (yet_another_field = yet_another_value AND ...)

How to change MySQL timezone in a database connection using Java?

Is there a way we can get the list of supported timeZone from MySQL ? ex - serverTimezone=America/New_York. That can solve many such issue. I believe every time you need to specify the correct time zone from the Application irrespective of the DB TimeZone.

Create pandas Dataframe by appending one row at a time

You can concatenate two DataFrames for this. I basically came across this problem to add a new row to an existing DataFrame with a character index(not numeric). So, I input the data for a new row in a duct() and index in a list.

new_dict = {put input for new row here}
new_list = [put your index here]

new_df = pd.DataFrame(data=new_dict, index=new_list)

df = pd.concat([existing_df, new_df])

When should iteritems() be used instead of items()?

Just as @Wessie noted, dict.iteritems, dict.iterkeys and dict.itervalues (which return an iterator in Python2.x) as well as dict.viewitems, dict.viewkeys and dict.viewvalues (which return view objects in Python2.x) were all removed in Python3.x

And dict.items, dict.keys and dict.values used to return a copy of the dictionary's list in Python2.x now return view objects in Python3.x, but they are still not the same as iterator.

If you want to return an iterator in Python3.x, use iter(dictview) :

$ python3.3

>>> d = {'one':'1', 'two':'2'}
>>> type(d.items())
<class 'dict_items'>
>>>
>>> type(d.keys())
<class 'dict_keys'>
>>>
>>>
>>> ii = iter(d.items())
>>> type(ii)
<class 'dict_itemiterator'>
>>>
>>> ik = iter(d.keys())
>>> type(ik)
<class 'dict_keyiterator'>

AngularJS $resource RESTful example

you can just do $scope.todo = Todo.get({ id: 123 }). .get() and .query() on a Resource return an object immediately and fill it with the result of the promise later (to update your template). It's not a typical promise which is why you need to either use a callback or the $promise property if you have some special code you want executed after the call. But there is no need to assign it to your scope in a callback if you are only using it in the template.

sprintf like functionality in Python

If I understand your question correctly, format() is what you are looking for, along with its mini-language.

Silly example for python 2.7 and up:

>>> print "{} ...\r\n {}!".format("Hello", "world")
Hello ...
 world!

For earlier python versions: (tested with 2.6.2)

>>> print "{0} ...\r\n {1}!".format("Hello", "world")
Hello ...
 world!

How to edit incorrect commit message in Mercurial?

Update: Mercurial has added --amend which should be the preferred option now.

You can rollback the last commit (but only the last one) with hg rollback and then reapply it.

Important: this permanently removes the latest commit (or pull). So if you've done a hg update that commit is no longer in your working directory then it's gone forever. So make a copy first.

Other than that, you cannot change the repository's history (including commit messages), because everything in there is check-summed. The only thing you could do is prune the history after a given changeset, and then recreate it accordingly.

None of this will work if you have already published your changes (unless you can get hold of all copies), and you also cannot "rewrite history" that include GPG-signed commits (by other people).

How to show the "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" when changes committed?

Based on all the answers on this thread, I wrote the following code and it worked for me.

If you have only some input/textarea tags which requires an onunload event to be checked, you can assign HTML5 data-attributes as data-onunload="true"

for eg.

<input type="text" data-onunload="true" />
<textarea data-onunload="true"></textarea>

and the Javascript (jQuery) can look like this :

$(document).ready(function(){
    window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
        var returnFlag = false;
        $('textarea, input').each(function(){
            if($(this).attr('data-onunload') == 'true' && $(this).val() != '')
                returnFlag = true;
        });

        if(returnFlag)
            return "Sure you want to leave?";   
    };
});

Get the first element of each tuple in a list in Python

If you don't want to use list comprehension by some reasons, you can use map and operator.itemgetter:

>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> rows = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
>>> map(itemgetter(1), rows)
[2, 4, 6]
>>>

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

If you get an error 1044 (42000) when you try to run SQL commands in MySQL (which installed along XAMPP server) cmd prompt, then here's the solution:

Close your MySQL command prompt.
Open your cmd prompt (from Start menu -> run -> cmd) which will show: C:\Users\User>_
Go to MySQL.exe by Typing the following commands:

C:\Users\User>cd\ C:\>cd xampp C:\xampp>cd mysql C:\xxampp\mysql>cd bin C:\xampp\mysql\bin>mysql -u root

Now try creating a new database by typing:
```
mysql> create database employee;
```
if it shows:
```
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql>
```
Then congrats ! You are good to go...

Stacked Bar Plot in R

A somewhat different approach using ggplot2:

dat <- read.table(text = "A   B   C   D   E   F    G
1 480 780 431 295 670 360  190
2 720 350 377 255 340 615  345
3 460 480 179 560  60 735 1260
4 220 240 876 789 820 100   75", header = TRUE)

library(reshape2)

dat$row <- seq_len(nrow(dat))
dat2 <- melt(dat, id.vars = "row")

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(dat2, aes(x = variable, y = value, fill = row)) + 
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  xlab("\nType") +
  ylab("Time\n") +
  guides(fill = FALSE) +
  theme_bw()

this gives:

enter image description here

When you want to include a legend, delete the guides(fill = FALSE) line.

What is the "-->" operator in C/C++?

This --> is not an operator at all. We have an operator like ->, but not like -->. It is just a wrong interpretation of while(x-- >0) which simply means x has the post decrement operator and this loop will run till it is greater than zero.

Another simple way of writing this code would be while(x--). The while loop will stop whenever it gets a false condition and here there is only one case, i.e., 0. So it will stop when the x value is decremented to zero.

VBScript: Using WScript.Shell to Execute a Command Line Program That Accesses Active Directory

Taking Shiraz's idea and running with it...

In your application, are you explicitly defining a domain User Account and Password to access AD?

When you are executing the application explicitly it may be inherently using your credentials (your currently logged in domain account) to interrogate AD. However, when calling the application from the script, I'm not sure if the application is in the System context.

A VBScript example would be as follows:

  Dim objConnection As ADODB.Connection
    Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
    objConnection.Properties("User ID") = "MyDomain\MyAccount"
    objConnection.Properties("Password") = "MyPassword"
    objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"

If this works, of course it would be best practice to create and use a service account specifically for this task, and to deny interactive login to that account.

Google Maps API v3: InfoWindow not sizing correctly

As of mid-2014 there appears to be an InfoWindow sizing bug in Google Maps v3 that affects multiple browsers.

It has been reported here:
https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5713
(and a demo JSFiddle here)
Please click the star on the issue above to vote for it to be fixed!

From all my testing, it appears to be related to element size rounding errors, as it only occurs at some font-sizes.

Bad workarounds:

Having toyed with most suggestions on this page, the following are NOT good solutions:

overflow: hidden (can potentially cut off content)
white-space: nowrap (can potentially cut off content)
Passing a jQuery object or DOM nodes (content potentially overflows outside the InfoWindow)
Setting the InfoWindow content after it is opened (on its own, does not help)
Changing font away from Roboto (the issue can occur with any font)

One possible workaround is giving your InfoWindow a fixed width (such as those who've suggested setting max-width and min-width), however when you have lots of markers and the amount of content varies fluctuates, this is not ideal. It's also bad for mobile/responsive designs.

A reasonable workaround:

So until Google fix this, I've had to build a workaround. After about 12+ hours of testing and debugging I came up with the following:

This does not have the same drawbacks as other suggestions.

Content should never be clipped (unless you have large images that exceed the width of the InfoWindow).
Vertical scrollbars are added, but only when necessary.
No content should overflow outside of the InfoWindow
In most cases the InfoWindow is sized automatically to fit the content (not a fixed size)
Should be suitable for mobiles and responsive layouts
Margins, padding, fonts should all work OK

Downsides:

My version requires jQuery, but it could probably be reworked to be pure JS
It creates 20px of padding on the right of the content to make room for the scrollbar in case it is needed. You could skip this if you prefer, or do some more checking to only add padding when necessary.
It's rather hacky, but without editing Google's javascript, it's possibly the only way.

How to delete/unset the properties of a javascript object?

simply use delete, but be aware that you should read fully what the effects are of using this:

 delete object.index; //true
 object.index; //undefined

but if I was to use like so:

var x = 1; //1
delete x; //false
x; //1

but if you do wish to delete variables in the global namespace, you can use it's global object such as window, or using this in the outermost scope i.e

var a = 'b';
delete a; //false
delete window.a; //true
delete this.a; //true

http://perfectionkills.com/understanding-delete/

another fact is that using delete on an array will not remove the index but only set the value to undefined, meaning in certain control structures such as for loops, you will still iterate over that entity, when it comes to array's you should use splice which is a prototype of the array object.

Example Array:

var myCars=new Array();
myCars[0]="Saab";
myCars[1]="Volvo";
myCars[2]="BMW";

if I was to do:

delete myCars[1];

the resulting array would be:

["Saab", undefined, "BMW"]

but using splice like so:

myCars.splice(1,1);

would result in:

["Saab", "BMW"]

How to fix: "HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode"

For Windows.

In Android Studio:

Tools > Android > AVD Manager > Your Device > Pencil Icon> Show Advanced Settings > Memory and Storage > RAM > Set RAM to your preferred size.

In Control Panel:

Programs and Features > Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager > Change > Set manually > Set RAM to your preferred size.

It is better for RAM sizes set in both places to be the same.

Pandas: ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer

Also, even at the lastest versions of pandas if the column is object type you would have to convert into float first, something like:

df['column_name'].astype(np.float).astype("Int32")

NB: You have to go through numpy float first and then to nullable Int32, for some reason.

The size of the int if it's 32 or 64 depends on your variable, be aware you may loose some precision if your numbers are to big for the format.

How to Create an excel dropdown list that displays text with a numeric hidden value

There are two types of drop down lists available (I am not sure since which version).

ActiveX Drop Down
You can set the column widths, so your hidden column can be set to 0.

Form Drop Down
You could set the drop down range to a hidden sheet and reference the cell adjacent to the selected item. This would also work with the ActiveX type control.

How to add "on delete cascade" constraints?

I'm pretty sure you can't simply add on delete cascade to an existing foreign key constraint. You have to drop the constraint first, then add the correct version. In standard SQL, I believe the easiest way to do this is to

start a transaction,
drop the foreign key,
add a foreign key with on delete cascade, and finally
commit the transaction

Repeat for each foreign key you want to change.

But PostgreSQL has a non-standard extension that lets you use multiple constraint clauses in a single SQL statement. For example

alter table public.scores
drop constraint scores_gid_fkey,
add constraint scores_gid_fkey
   foreign key (gid)
   references games(gid)
   on delete cascade;

If you don't know the name of the foreign key constraint you want to drop, you can either look it up in pgAdminIII (just click the table name and look at the DDL, or expand the hierarchy until you see "Constraints"), or you can query the information schema.

select *
from information_schema.key_column_usage
where position_in_unique_constraint is not null

How to access component methods from “outside” in ReactJS?

Alternatively, if the method on Child is truly static (not a product of current props, state) you can define it on statics and then access it as you would a static class method. For example:

var Child = React.createClass({
  statics: {
    someMethod: function() {
      return 'bar';
    }
  },
  // ...
});

console.log(Child.someMethod()) // bar

How to get max value of a column using Entity Framework?

In VB.Net it would be

Dim maxAge As Integer = context.Persons.Max(Function(p) p.Age)

Why does javascript map function return undefined?

You only return a value if the current element is a string. Perhaps assigning an empty string otherwise will suffice:

var arr = ['a','b',1];
var results = arr.map(function(item){
    return (typeof item ==='string') ? item : '';  
});

Of course, if you want to filter any non-string elements, you shouldn't use map(). Rather, you should look into using the filter() function.

Python URLLib / URLLib2 POST

u = urllib2.urlopen('http://myserver/inout-tracker', data)
h.request('POST', '/inout-tracker/index.php', data, headers)

Using the path /inout-tracker without a trailing / doesn't fetch index.php. Instead the server will issue a 302 redirect to the version with the trailing /.

Doing a 302 will typically cause clients to convert a POST to a GET request.

Convert JSON to DataTable

It can also be achieved using below code.

DataSet data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DataSet>(json);

How to compare pointers?

Comparing pointers is not portable, for example in DOS different pointer values points to the same location, comparison of the pointers returns false.

/*--{++:main.c}--------------------------------------------------*/
#include <dos.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
  int   val_a = 123;
  int * ptr_0 = &val_a;
  int * ptr_1 = MK_FP(FP_SEG(&val_a) + 1, FP_OFF(&val_a) - 16);

  printf(" val_a = %d -> @%p\n", val_a, (void *)(&val_a));
  printf("*ptr_0 = %d -> @%p\n", *ptr_0, (void *)ptr_0);
  printf("*ptr_1 = %d -> @%p\n", *ptr_1, (void *)ptr_1);

  /* Check what returns the pointers comparison: */
  printf("&val_a == ptr_0 ====> %d\n", &val_a == ptr_0);
  printf("&val_a == ptr_1 ====> %d\n", &val_a == ptr_1);
  printf(" ptr_0 == ptr_1 ====> %d\n",  ptr_0 == ptr_1);

  printf("val_a = %d\n", val_a);

  printf(">> *ptr_0 += 100;\n");
             *ptr_0 += 100;

  printf("val_a = %d\n", val_a);

  printf(">> *ptr_1 += 500;\n");
             *ptr_1 += 500;

  printf("val_a = %d\n", val_a);

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
/*--{--:main.c}--------------------------------------------------*/

Compile it under Borland C 5.0, here is the result:

/*--{++:result}--------------------------------------------------*/
 val_a = 123 -> @167A:0FFE
*ptr_0 = 123 -> @167A:0FFE

Google Chrome "window.open" workaround?

Why is this still so complicated in 2021? For me I wanted to open in a new chrome window fullscreen so I used the below:

This worked as exepected opening a new chrome window. Without the options at the end it will only open a new tab

Set content of iframe

Unified Solution:

In order to work on all modern browsers, you will need two steps:

Add javascript:void(0); as src attribute for the iframe element. Otherwise the content will be overriden by the empty src on Firefox.
```
<iframe src="javascript:void(0);"></iframe>
```

Programatically change the content of the inner html element.

$(iframeSelector).contents().find('html').html(htmlContent);

Lambda function in list comprehensions

The first one creates a single lambda function and calls it ten times.

The second one doesn't call the function. It creates 10 different lambda functions. It puts all of those in a list. To make it equivalent to the first you need:

[(lambda x: x*x)(x) for x in range(10)]

Or better yet:

[x*x for x in range(10)]

How do I read a resource file from a Java jar file?

I'd like to point out that one issues is what if the same resources are in multiple jar files. Let's say you want to read /org/node/foo.txt, but not from one file, but from each and every jar file.

I have run into this same issue several times before. I was hoping in JDK 7 that someone would write a classpath filesystem, but alas not yet.

Spring has the Resource class which allows you to load classpath resources quite nicely.

I wrote a little prototype to solve this very problem of reading resources form multiple jar files. The prototype does not handle every edge case, but it does handle looking for resources in directories that are in the jar files.

I have used Stack Overflow for quite sometime. This is the second answer that I remember answering a question so forgive me if I go too long (it is my nature).

This is a prototype resource reader. The prototype is devoid of robust error checking.

I have two prototype jar files that I have setup.

 &lt;pre>
         &lt;dependency>
              &lt;groupId>invoke&lt;/groupId>
              &lt;artifactId>invoke&lt;/artifactId>
              &lt;version>1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version>
          &lt;/dependency>

          &lt;dependency>
               &lt;groupId>node&lt;/groupId>
               &lt;artifactId>node&lt;/artifactId>
               &lt;version>1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version>

How to declare or mark a Java method as deprecated?

since some minor explanations were missing

Use @Deprecated annotation on the method like this

 /**
 * @param basePrice
 * 
 * @deprecated  reason this method is deprecated <br/>
 *              {will be removed in next version} <br/>
 *              use {@link #setPurchasePrice()} instead like this: 
 * 
 * 
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * getProduct().setPurchasePrice(200) 
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * 
 */
@Deprecated
public void setBaseprice(int basePrice) {
}

remember to explain:

Why is this method no longer recommended. What problems arise when using it. Provide a link to the discussion on the matter if any. (remember to separate lines for readability <br/>
When it will be removed. (let your users know how much they can still rely on this method if they decide to stick to the old way)
Provide a solution or link to the method you recommend {@link #setPurchasePrice()}

Is background-color:none valid CSS?

So, I would like to explain the scenario where I had to make use of this solution. Basically, I wanted to undo the background-color attribute set by another CSS. The expected end result was to make it look as though the original CSS had never applied the background-color attribute . Setting background-color:transparent; made that effective.

$.ajax - dataType

contentType is the HTTP header sent to the server, specifying a particular format.
Example: I'm sending JSON or XML
dataType is you telling jQuery what kind of response to expect.
Expecting JSON, or XML, or HTML, etc. The default is for jQuery to try and figure it out.

The $.ajax() documentation has full descriptions of these as well.

In your particular case, the first is asking for the response to be in UTF-8, the second doesn't care. Also the first is treating the response as a JavaScript object, the second is going to treat it as a string.

So the first would be:

success: function(data) {
  // get data, e.g. data.title;
}

The second:

success: function(data) {
  alert("Here's lots of data, just a string: " + data);
}

How can I convert a VBScript to an executable (EXE) file?

There is no way to convert a VBScript (.vbs file) into an executable (.exe file) because VBScript is not a compiled language. The process of converting source code into native executable code is called "compilation", and it's not supported by scripting languages like VBScript.

Certainly you can add your script to a self-extracting archive using something like WinZip, but all that will do is compress it. It's doubtful that the file size will shrink noticeably, and since it's a plain-text file to begin with, it's really not necessary to compress it at all. The only purpose of a self-extracting archive is that decompression software (like WinZip) is not required on the end user's computer to be able to extract or "decompress" the file. If it isn't compressed in the first place, this is a moot point.

Alternatively, as you mentioned, there are ways to wrap VBScript code files in a standalone executable file, but these are just wrappers that automatically execute the script (in its current, uncompiled state) when the user double-clicks on the .exe file. I suppose that can have its benefits, but it doesn't sound like what you're looking for.

In order to truly convert your VBScript into an executable file, you're going to have to rewrite it in another language that can be compiled. Visual Basic 6 (the latest version of VB, before the .NET Framework was introduced) is extremely similar in syntax to VBScript, but does support compiling to native code. If you move your VBScript code to VB 6, you can compile it into a native executable. Running the .exe file will require that the user has the VB 6 Run-time libraries installed, but they come built into most versions of Windows that are found now in the wild.

Alternatively, you could go ahead and make the jump to Visual Basic .NET, which remains somewhat similar in syntax to VB 6 and VBScript (although it won't be anywhere near a cut-and-paste migration). VB.NET programs will also compile to an .exe file, but they require the .NET Framework runtime to be installed on the user's computer. Fortunately, this has also become commonplace, and it can be easily redistributed if your users don't happen to have it. You mentioned going this route in your question (porting your current script in to VB Express 2008, which uses VB.NET), but that you were getting a lot of errors. That's what I mean about it being far from a cut-and-paste migration. There are some huge differences between VB 6/VBScript and VB.NET, despite some superficial syntactical similarities. If you want help migrating over your VBScript, you could post a question here on Stack Overflow. Ultimately, this is probably the best way to do what you want, but I can't promise you that it will be simple.

Simple way to transpose columns and rows in SQL?

There are several ways that you can transform this data. In your original post, you stated that PIVOT seems too complex for this scenario, but it can be applied very easily using both the UNPIVOT and PIVOT functions in SQL Server.

However, if you do not have access to those functions this can be replicated using UNION ALL to UNPIVOT and then an aggregate function with a CASE statement to PIVOT:

Create Table:

CREATE TABLE yourTable([color] varchar(5), [Paul] int, [John] int, [Tim] int, [Eric] int);

INSERT INTO yourTable
    ([color], [Paul], [John], [Tim], [Eric])
VALUES
    ('Red', 1, 5, 1, 3),
    ('Green', 8, 4, 3, 5),
    ('Blue', 2, 2, 9, 1);

Union All, Aggregate and CASE Version:

select name,
  sum(case when color = 'Red' then value else 0 end) Red,
  sum(case when color = 'Green' then value else 0 end) Green,
  sum(case when color = 'Blue' then value else 0 end) Blue
from
(
  select color, Paul value, 'Paul' name
  from yourTable
  union all
  select color, John value, 'John' name
  from yourTable
  union all
  select color, Tim value, 'Tim' name
  from yourTable
  union all
  select color, Eric value, 'Eric' name
  from yourTable
) src
group by name

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

The UNION ALL performs the UNPIVOT of the data by transforming the columns Paul, John, Tim, Eric into separate rows. Then you apply the aggregate function sum() with the case statement to get the new columns for each color.

Unpivot and Pivot Static Version:

Both the UNPIVOT and PIVOT functions in SQL server make this transformation much easier. If you know all of the values that you want to transform, you can hard-code them into a static version to get the result:

select name, [Red], [Green], [Blue]
from
(
  select color, name, value
  from yourtable
  unpivot
  (
    value for name in (Paul, John, Tim, Eric)
  ) unpiv
) src
pivot
(
  sum(value)
  for color in ([Red], [Green], [Blue])
) piv

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

The inner query with the UNPIVOT performs the same function as the UNION ALL. It takes the list of columns and turns it into rows, the PIVOT then performs the final transformation into columns.

Dynamic Pivot Version:

If you have an unknown number of columns (Paul, John, Tim, Eric in your example) and then an unknown number of colors to transform you can use dynamic sql to generate the list to UNPIVOT and then PIVOT:

DECLARE @colsUnpivot AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @colsPivot as  NVARCHAR(MAX)

select @colsUnpivot = stuff((select ','+quotename(C.name)
         from sys.columns as C
         where C.object_id = object_id('yourtable') and
               C.name <> 'color'
         for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')

select @colsPivot = STUFF((SELECT  ',' 
                      + quotename(color)
                    from yourtable t
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,1,'')


set @query 
  = 'select name, '+@colsPivot+'
      from
      (
        select color, name, value
        from yourtable
        unpivot
        (
          value for name in ('+@colsUnpivot+')
        ) unpiv
      ) src
      pivot
      (
        sum(value)
        for color in ('+@colsPivot+')
      ) piv'

exec(@query)

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

The dynamic version queries both yourtable and then the sys.columns table to generate the list of items to UNPIVOT and PIVOT. This is then added to a query string to be executed. The plus of the dynamic version is if you have a changing list of colors and/or names this will generate the list at run-time.

All three queries will produce the same result:

| NAME | RED | GREEN | BLUE |
-----------------------------
| Eric |   3 |     5 |    1 |
| John |   5 |     4 |    2 |
| Paul |   1 |     8 |    2 |
|  Tim |   1 |     3 |    9 |

Convert array of strings into a string in Java

From Java 8, the simplest way I think is:

    String[] array = { "cat", "mouse" };
    String delimiter = "";
    String result = String.join(delimiter, array);

This way you can choose an arbitrary delimiter.

What is the difference between SQL, PL-SQL and T-SQL?

SQL

SQL is used to communicate with a database, it is the standard language for relational database management systems.

In detail Structured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).

Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, SQL consists of a data definition language and a data manipulation language. The scope of SQL includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control. Although SQL is often described as, and to a great extent is, a declarative language (4GL), it also includes procedural elements.

PL/SQL

PL/SQL is a combination of SQL along with the procedural features of programming languages. It was developed by Oracle Corporation

Specialities of PL/SQL

completely portable, high-performance transaction-processing language.
provides a built-in interpreted and OS independent programming environment.
directly be called from the command-line SQL*Plus interface.
Direct call can also be made from external programming language calls to database.
general syntax is based on that of ADA and Pascal programming language.
Apart from Oracle, it is available in TimesTen in-memory database and IBM DB2.

T-SQL

Short for Transaction-SQL, an extended form of SQL that adds declared variables, transaction control, error and exceptionhandling and row processing to SQL

The Structured Query Language or SQL is a programming language that focuses on managing relational databases. SQL has its own limitations which spurred the software giant Microsoft to build on top of SQL with their own extensions to enhance the functionality of SQL. Microsoft added code to SQL and called it Transact-SQL or T-SQL. Keep in mind that T-SQL is proprietary and is under the control of Microsoft while SQL, although developed by IBM, is already an open format.

T-SQL adds a number of features that are not available in SQL.

This includes procedural programming elements and a local variable to provide more flexible control of how the application flows. A number of functions were also added to T-SQL to make it more powerful; functions for mathematical operations, string operations, date and time processing, and the like. These additions make T-SQL comply with the Turing completeness test, a test that determines the universality of a computing language. SQL is not Turing complete and is very limited in the scope of what it can do.

Another significant difference between T-SQL and SQL is the changes done to the DELETE and UPDATE commands that are already available in SQL. With T-SQL, the DELETE and UPDATE commands both allow the inclusion of a FROM clause which allows the use of JOINs. This simplifies the filtering of records to easily pick out the entries that match a certain criteria unlike with SQL where it can be a bit more complicated.

Choosing between T-SQL and SQL is all up to the user. Still, using T-SQL is still better when you are dealing with Microsoft SQL Server installations. This is because T-SQL is also from Microsoft, and using the two together maximizes compatibility. SQL is preferred by people who have multiple backends.

C++ for each, pulling from vector elements

This is how it would be done in a loop in C++(11):

   for (const auto& attack : m_attack)
    {  
        if (attack->m_num == input)
        {
            attack->makeDamage();
        }
    }

There is no for each in C++. Another option is to use std::for_each with a suitable functor (this could be anything that can be called with an Attack* as argument).

Access index of the parent ng-repeat from child ng-repeat

According to ng-repeat docs http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngRepeat, you can store the key or array index in the variable of your choice. (indexVar, valueVar) in values

so you can write

<div ng-repeat="(fIndex, f) in foos">
  <div>
    <div ng-repeat="b in foos.bars">
      <a ng-click="addSomething(fIndex)">Add Something</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

One level up is still quite clean with $parent.$index but several parents up, things can get messy.

Note: $index will continue to be defined at each scope, it is not replaced by fIndex.

.
imports: [
  BrowserModule,
  HttpModule,
  HttpClientModule

Get viewport/window height in ReactJS

@speckledcarp 's answer is great, but can be tedious if you need this logic in multiple components. You can refactor it as an HOC (higher order component) to make this logic easier to reuse.

withWindowDimensions.jsx

import React, { Component } from "react";

export default function withWindowDimensions(WrappedComponent) {
    return class extends Component {
        state = { width: 0, height: 0 };

        componentDidMount() {
            this.updateWindowDimensions();
            window.addEventListener("resize", this.updateWindowDimensions);
        }

        componentWillUnmount() {
            window.removeEventListener("resize", this.updateWindowDimensions);
        }

        updateWindowDimensions = () => {
            this.setState({ width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight });
        };

        render() {
            return (
                <WrappedComponent
                    {...this.props}
                    windowWidth={this.state.width}
                    windowHeight={this.state.height}
                    isMobileSized={this.state.width < 700}
                />
            );
        }
    };
}

Then in your main component:

import withWindowDimensions from './withWindowDimensions.jsx';

class MyComponent extends Component {
  render(){
    if(this.props.isMobileSized) return <p>It's short</p>;
    else return <p>It's not short</p>;
}

export default withWindowDimensions(MyComponent);

You can also "stack" HOCs if you have another you need to use, e.g. withRouter(withWindowDimensions(MyComponent))

Edit: I would go with a React hook nowadays (example above here), as they solve some of the advanced issues with HOCs and classes

Using JavaScript to display a Blob

If you want to use fetch instead:

var myImage = document.querySelector('img');

fetch('flowers.jpg').then(function(response) {
  return response.blob();
}).then(function(myBlob) {
  var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
  myImage.src = objectURL;
});

Creating a class object in c++

First of all, both cases calls a constructor. If you write

Example *example = new Example();

then you are creating an object, call the constructor and retrieve a pointer to it.

If you write

Example example;

The only difference is that you are getting the object and not a pointer to it. The constructor called in this case is the same as above, the default (no argument) constructor.

As for the singleton question, you must simple invoke your static method by writing:

Example *e = Singleton::getExample();

Execute combine multiple Linux commands in one line

I've found that using ; to separate commands only works in the foreground. eg :

cmd1; cmd2; cmd3 & - will only execute cmd3 in the background, whereas cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 & - will execute the entire chain in the background IF there are no errors.

To cater for unconditional execution, using parenthesis solves this :

(cmd1; cmd2; cmd3) & - will execute the chain of commands in the background, even if any step fails.

Count(*) vs Count(1) - SQL Server

I ran a quick test on SQL Server 2012 on an 8 GB RAM hyper-v box. You can see the results for yourself. I was not running any other windowed application apart from SQL Server Management Studio while running these tests.

My table schema:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[employee](
    [Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [Id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

Total number of records in Employee table: 178090131 (~ 178 million rows)

First Query:

Set Statistics Time On
Go    
Select Count(*) From Employee
Go    
Set Statistics Time Off
Go

Result of First Query:

 SQL Server parse and compile time: 
 CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 35 ms.

 (1 row(s) affected)

 SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 10766 ms,  elapsed time = 70265 ms.
 SQL Server parse and compile time: 
   CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 0 ms.

Second Query:

    Set Statistics Time On
    Go    
    Select Count(1) From Employee
    Go    
    Set Statistics Time Off
    Go

Result of Second Query:

 SQL Server parse and compile time: 
   CPU time = 14 ms, elapsed time = 14 ms.

(1 row(s) affected)

 SQL Server Execution Times:
   CPU time = 11031 ms,  elapsed time = 70182 ms.
 SQL Server parse and compile time: 
   CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 0 ms.

You can notice there is a difference of 83 (= 70265 - 70182) milliseconds which can easily be attributed to exact system condition at the time queries are run. Also I did a single run, so this difference will become more accurate if I do several runs and do some averaging. If for such a huge data-set the difference is coming less than 100 milliseconds, then we can easily conclude that the two queries do not have any performance difference exhibited by the SQL Server Engine.

Note : RAM hits close to 100% usage in both the runs. I restarted SQL Server service before starting both the runs.

Keystore type: which one to use?

If you are using Java 8 or newer you should definitely choose PKCS12, the default since Java 9 (JEP 229).

The advantages compared to JKS and JCEKS are:

Secret keys, private keys and certificates can be stored
PKCS12 is a standard format, it can be read by other programs and libraries¹
Improved security: JKS and JCEKS are pretty insecure. This can be seen by the number of tools for brute forcing passwords of these keystore types, especially popular among Android developers.^{2, 3}

¹ There is JDK-8202837, which has been fixed in Java 11

² The iteration count for PBE used by all keystore types (including PKCS12) used to be rather weak (CVE-2017-10356), however this has been fixed in 9.0.1, 8u151, 7u161, and 6u171

How do browser cookie domains work?

The last (third to be exactly) RFC for this issue is RFC-6265 (Obsoletes RFC-2965 that in turn obsoletes RFC-2109).

According to it if the server omits the Domain attribute, the user agent will return the cookie only to the origin server (the server on which a given resource resides). But it's also warning that some existing user agents treat an absent Domain attribute as if the Domain attribute were present and contained the current host name (For example, if example.com returns a Set-Cookie header without a Domain attribute, these user agents will erroneously send the cookie to www.example.com as well).

When the Domain attribute have been specified, it will be treated as complete domain name (if there is the leading dot in attribute it will be ignored). Server should match the domain specified in attribute (have exactly the same domain name or to be a subdomain of it) to get this cookie. More accurately it specified here.

So, for example:

cookie attribute Domain=.example.com is equivalent to Domain=example.com
cookies with such Domain attributes will be available for example.com and www.example.com
cookies with such Domain attributes will be not available for another-example.com
specifying cookie attribute like Domain=www.example.com will close the way for www4.example.com

PS: trailing comma in Domain attribute will cause the user agent to ignore the attribute =(

How do I run a Python script from C#?

Actually its pretty easy to make integration between Csharp (VS) and Python with IronPython. It's not that much complex... As Chris Dunaway already said in answer section I started to build this inegration for my own project. N its pretty simple. Just follow these steps N you will get your results.

step 1 : Open VS and create new empty ConsoleApp project.

step 2 : Go to tools --> NuGet Package Manager --> Package Manager Console.

step 3 : After this open this link in your browser and copy the NuGet Command. Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/IronPython/2.7.9

step 4 : After opening the above link copy the PM>Install-Package IronPython -Version 2.7.9 command and paste it in NuGet Console in VS. It will install the supportive packages.

step 5 : This is my code that I have used to run a .py file stored in my Python.exe directory.

using IronPython.Hosting;//for DLHE
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;//provides scripting abilities comparable to batch files
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
class Hi
{
private static void Main(string []args)
{
Process process = new Process(); //to make a process call
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine(); //For Engine to initiate the script
engine.ExecuteFile(@"C:\Users\daulmalik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\p1.py");//Path of my .py file that I would like to see running in console after running my .cs file from VS.//process.StandardInput.Flush();
process.StandardInput.Close();//to close
process.WaitForExit();//to hold the process i.e. cmd screen as output
}
}

step 6 : save and execute the code

Creating folders inside a GitHub repository without using Git

When creating a file, use slashes to specify the directory. For example:

Name the file:

repositoryname/newfoldername/filename

GitHub will automatically create a folder with the name newfoldername.

An error occurred while updating the entries. See the inner exception for details

Click "View Detail..." a window will open where you can expand the "Inner Exception" my guess is that when you try to delete the record there is a reference constraint violation. The inner exception will give you more information on that so you can modify your code to remove any references prior to deleting the record.

Static Final Variable in Java

Declaring the field as 'final' will ensure that the field is a constant and cannot change. The difference comes in the usage of 'static' keyword.

Declaring a field as static means that it is associated with the type and not with the instances. i.e. only one copy of the field will be present for all the objects and not individual copy for each object. Due to this, the static fields can be accessed through the class name.

As you can see, your requirement that the field should be constant is achieved in both cases (declaring the field as 'final' and as 'static final').

Hope it helps

Event when window.location.href changes

There is a default onhashchange event that you can use.

Documented HERE

And can be used like this:

function locationHashChanged( e ) {
    console.log( location.hash );
    console.log( e.oldURL, e.newURL );
    if ( location.hash === "#pageX" ) {
        pageX();
    }
}

window.onhashchange = locationHashChanged;

If the browser doesn't support oldURL and newURL you can bind it like this:

//let this snippet run before your hashChange event binding code
if( !window.HashChangeEvent )( function() {
    let lastURL = document.URL;
    window.addEventListener( "hashchange", function( event ) {
        Object.defineProperty( event, "oldURL", { enumerable: true, configurable: true, value: lastURL } );
        Object.defineProperty( event, "newURL", { enumerable: true, configurable: true, value: document.URL } );
        lastURL = document.URL;
    } );
} () );

Using jQuery how to get click coordinates on the target element

Create Word Document using PHP in Linux

Following on Ivan Krechetov's answer, here is a function that does mail merge (actually just simple text replace) for docx and odt, without the need for an extra library.

function mailMerge($templateFile, $newFile, $row)
{
  if (!copy($templateFile, $newFile))  // make a duplicate so we dont overwrite the template
    return false; // could not duplicate template
  $zip = new ZipArchive();
  if ($zip->open($newFile, ZIPARCHIVE::CHECKCONS) !== TRUE)
    return false; // probably not a docx file
  $file = substr($templateFile, -4) == '.odt' ? 'content.xml' : 'word/document.xml';
  $data = $zip->getFromName($file);
  foreach ($row as $key => $value)
    $data = str_replace($key, $value, $data);
  $zip->deleteName($file);
  $zip->addFromString($file, $data);
  $zip->close();
  return true;
}

This will replace [Person Name] with Mina and [Person Last Name] with Mooo:

$replacements = array('[Person Name]' => 'Mina', '[Person Last Name]' => 'Mooo');
$newFile = tempnam_sfx(sys_get_temp_dir(), '.dat');
$templateName = 'personinfo.docx';
if (mailMerge($templateName, $newFile, $replacements))
{
  header('Content-type: application/msword');
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $templateName);
  header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
  header('Content-Length: '. filesize($file));
  readfile($newFile);
  unlink($newFile);
}

Beware that this function can corrupt the document if the string to replace is too general. Try to use verbose replacement strings like [Person Name].

How to get my Android device Internal Download Folder path

if a device has an SD card, you use:

if you don't have an SD card, you use:

Environment.getDataDirectory()

if there is no SD card, you can create your own directory on the device locally.

    //if there is no SD card, create new directory objects to make directory on device
        if (Environment.getExternalStorageState() == null) {
                        //create new file directory object

What is the difference between print and puts?

The API docs give some good hints:

print() ? nil

print(obj, ...) ? nil

Writes the given object(s) to ios. Returns nil.

The stream must be opened for writing. Each given object that isn't a string will be converted by calling its to_s method. When called without arguments, prints the contents of $_.

If the output field separator ($,) is not nil, it is inserted between objects. If the output record separator ($\) is not nil, it is appended to the output.

...

puts(obj, ...) ? nil

Writes the given object(s) to ios. Writes a newline after any that do not already end with a newline sequence. Returns nil.

The stream must be opened for writing. If called with an array argument, writes each element on a new line. Each given object that isn't a string or array will be converted by calling its to_s method. If called without arguments, outputs a single newline.

Experimenting a little with the points given above, the differences seem to be:

Called with multiple arguments, print separates them by the 'output field separator' $, (which defaults to nothing) while puts separates them by newlines. puts also puts a newline after the final argument, while print does not.

2.1.3 :001 > print 'hello', 'world'
helloworld => nil 
2.1.3 :002 > puts 'hello', 'world'
hello
world
 => nil
2.1.3 :003 > $, = 'fanodd'
 => "fanodd" 
2.1.3 :004 > print 'hello', 'world'
hellofanoddworld => nil 
2.1.3 :005 > puts 'hello', 'world'
hello
world
 => nil

puts automatically unpacks arrays, while print does not:

2.1.3 :001 > print [1, [2, 3]], [4]
[1, [2, 3]][4] => nil 
2.1.3 :002 > puts [1, [2, 3]], [4]
1
2
3
4
 => nil

print with no arguments prints $_ (the last thing read by gets), while puts prints a newline:

2.1.3 :001 > gets
hello world
 => "hello world\n" 
2.1.3 :002 > puts

 => nil 
2.1.3 :003 > print
hello world
 => nil

print writes the output record separator $\ after whatever it prints, while puts ignores this variable:

mark@lunchbox:~$ irb
2.1.3 :001 > $\ = 'MOOOOOOO!'
 => "MOOOOOOO!" 
2.1.3 :002 > puts "Oink! Baa! Cluck! "
Oink! Baa! Cluck! 
 => nil 
2.1.3 :003 > print "Oink! Baa! Cluck! "
Oink! Baa! Cluck! MOOOOOOO! => nil

Right way to write JSON deserializer in Spring or extend it

I was trying to @Autowire a Spring-managed service into my Deserializer. Somebody tipped me off to Jackson using the new operator when invoking the serializers/deserializers. This meant no auto-wiring of Jackson's instance of my Deserializer. Here's how I was able to @Autowire my service class into my Deserializer:

context.xml

<mvc:annotation-driven>
  <mvc:message-converters>
    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
      <property name="objectMapper" ref="objectMapper" />
    </bean>
  </mvc:message-converters>
</mvc>
<bean id="objectMapper" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.Jackson2ObjectMapperFactoryBean">
    <!-- Add deserializers that require autowiring -->
    <property name="deserializersByType">
        <map key-type="java.lang.Class">
            <entry key="com.acme.Anchor">
                <bean class="com.acme.AnchorDeserializer" />
            </entry>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

Now that my Deserializer is a Spring-managed bean, auto-wiring works!

AnchorDeserializer.java

public class AnchorDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Anchor> {
    @Autowired
    private AnchorService anchorService;
    public Anchor deserialize(JsonParser parser, DeserializationContext context)
             throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
        // Do stuff
    }
}

AnchorService.java

@Service
public class AnchorService {}

Update: While my original answer worked for me back when I wrote this, @xi.lin's response is exactly what is needed. Nice find!

libxml install error using pip

On osx 10.10.5 and in a virtualenv, maybe you can resolve that problem like below:

sudo C_INCLUDE_PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include pip install -r lxml

File changed listener in Java

I use the VFS API from Apache Commons, here is an example of how to monitor a file without much impact in performance:

DefaultFileMonitor

Python function pointer

Easiest

eval(myvar)(parameter1, parameter2)

You don't have a function "pointer". You have a function "name".

While this works well, you will have a large number of folks telling you it's "insecure" or a "security risk".

Select a row from html table and send values onclick of a button

This below code will give selected row, you can parse the values from it and send to the AJAX call.

$(".selected").click(function () {
var row = $(this).parent().parent().parent().html();            
});

FromBody string parameter is giving null

In my case I forgot to use

JSON.stringify(bodyStuff).

Foreach loop, determine which is the last iteration of the loop

Making some small adjustments to the excelent code of Jon Skeet, you can even make it smarter by allowing access to the previous and next item. Of course this means you'll have to read ahead 1 item in the implementation. For performance reasons, the previous and next item are only retained for the current iteration item. It goes like this:

How can I discover the "path" of an embedded resource?

I use the following method to grab embedded resources:

    protected static Stream GetResourceStream(string resourcePath)
    {
        Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        List<string> resourceNames = new List<string>(assembly.GetManifestResourceNames());

        resourcePath = resourcePath.Replace(@"/", ".");
        resourcePath = resourceNames.FirstOrDefault(r => r.Contains(resourcePath));

        if (resourcePath == null)
            throw new FileNotFoundException("Resource not found");

        return assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourcePath);
    }

I then call this with the path in the project:

GetResourceStream(@"DirectoryPathInLibrary/Filename")

Setting width as a percentage using jQuery

Hemnath

If your variable is the percentage:

var myWidth = 70;
$('div#somediv').width(myWidth + '%');

If your variable is in pixels, and you want the percentage it take up of the parent:

var myWidth = 140;
var myPercentage = (myWidth / $('div#somediv').parent().width()) * 100;
$('div#somediv').width(myPercentage + '%');

How do I perform a JAVA callback between classes?

In this particular case, the following should work:

    }
};

It's an anonymous subclass.

How to get element by class name?

The name of the DOM function is actually getElementsByClassName, not getElementByClassName, simply because more than one element on the page can have the same class, hence: Elements.

The return value of this will be a NodeList instance, or a superset of the NodeList (FF, for instance returns an instance of HTMLCollection). At any rate: the return value is an array-like object:

var y = document.getElementsByClassName('foo');
var aNode = y[0];

If, for some reason you need the return object as an array, you can do that easily, because of its magic length property:

var arrFromList = Array.prototype.slice.call(y);
//or as per AntonB's comment:
var arrFromList = [].slice.call(y);

As yckart suggested querySelector('.foo') and querySelectorAll('.foo') would be preferable, though, as they are, indeed, better supported (93.99% vs 87.24%), according to caniuse.com:

Calculating days between two dates with Java

Java date libraries are notoriously broken. I would advise to use Joda Time. It will take care of leap year, time zone and so on for you.

Minimal working example:

import java.util.Scanner;
import org.joda.time.DateTime;
import org.joda.time.Days;
import org.joda.time.LocalDate;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat;
import org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class DateTestCase {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.print("Insert first date: ");
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
        String firstdate = s.nextLine();
        System.out.print("Insert second date: ");
        String seconddate = s.nextLine();

        // Formatter
        DateTimeFormatter dateStringFormat = DateTimeFormat
                .forPattern("dd MM yyyy");
        DateTime firstTime = dateStringFormat.parseDateTime(firstdate);
        DateTime secondTime = dateStringFormat.parseDateTime(seconddate);
        int days = Days.daysBetween(new LocalDate(firstTime),
                                    new LocalDate(secondTime)).getDays();
        System.out.println("Days between the two dates " + days);
    }
}

Compatibility with older browsers can be a drag, so be adviced.

If that is not a problem then go ahead. Run the snippet. Go to full page view and resize. Center will resize itself with no changes to the left or right divs.

Change left and right values to meet your requirement.

What is $@ in Bash?

Yes. Please see the man page of bash ( the first thing you go to ) under Special Parameters

Special Parameters

The shell treats several parameters specially. These parameters may only be referenced; assignment to them is not allowed.

* Expands to the positional parameters, starting from one. When the expansion occurs within double quotes, it expands to a single word with the value of each parameter separated by the first character of the IFS special variable. That is, "$*" is equivalent to "$1c$2c...", where c is the first character of the value of the IFS variable. If IFS is unset, the parameters are separated by spaces. If IFS is null, the parameters are joined without intervening separators.

@ Expands to the positional parameters, starting from one. When the expansion occurs within double quotes, each parameter expands to a separate word. That is, "$@" is equivalent to "$1" "$2" ... If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word, the expansion of the first parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the last part of the original word. When there are no positional parameters, "$@" and $@ expand to nothing (i.e., they are removed).

Mockito: List Matchers with generics

In addition to anyListOf above, you can always specify generics explicitly using this syntax:

when(mock.process(Matchers.<List<Bar>>any(List.class)));

Java 8 newly allows type inference based on parameters, so if you're using Java 8, this may work as well:

when(mock.process(Matchers.any()));

Remember that neither any() nor anyList() will apply any checks, including type or null checks. In Mockito 2.x, any(Foo.class) was changed to mean "any instanceof Foo", but any() still means "any value including null".

NOTE: The above has switched to ArgumentMatchers in newer versions of Mockito, to avoid a name collision with org.hamcrest.Matchers. Older versions of Mockito will need to keep using org.mockito.Matchers as above.

How do I get the serial key for Visual Studio Express?

I believe that if you download the offline ISO image file, and use that to install Visual Studio Express, you won't have to register.

Go here and find the link that says "All - Offline Install ISO image file". Click on it to expand it, select your language, and then click "Download".

Otherwise, it's possible that online registration is simply down for a while, as the error message indicates. You have 30 days before it expires, so give it a few days before starting to panic.

Dynamic constant assignment

Because constants in Ruby aren't meant to be changed, Ruby discourages you from assigning to them in parts of code which might get executed more than once, such as inside methods.

Under normal circumstances, you should define the constant inside the class itself:

class MyClass
  MY_CONSTANT = "foo"
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

If for some reason though you really do need to define a constant inside a method (perhaps for some type of metaprogramming), you can use const_set:

class MyClass
  def my_method
    self.class.const_set(:MY_CONSTANT, "foo")
  end
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT
#=> NameError: uninitialized constant MyClass::MY_CONSTANT

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

Again though, const_set isn't something you should really have to resort to under normal circumstances. If you're not sure whether you really want to be assigning to constants this way, you may want to consider one of the following alternatives:

Class variables

Class variables behave like constants in many ways. They are properties on a class, and they are accessible in subclasses of the class they are defined on.

The difference is that class variables are meant to be modifiable, and can therefore be assigned to inside methods with no issue.

class MyClass
  def self.my_class_variable
    @@my_class_variable
  end
  def my_method
    @@my_class_variable = "foo"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_variable

Class attributes

Class attributes are a sort of "instance variable on a class". They behave a bit like class variables, except that their values are not shared with subclasses.

class MyClass
  class << self
    attr_accessor :my_class_attribute
  end
  def my_method
    self.class.my_class_attribute = "blah"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

SubClass.new.my_method
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"

Instance variables

And just for completeness I should probably mention: if you need to assign a value which can only be determined after your class has been instantiated, there's a good chance you might actually be looking for a plain old instance variable.

class MyClass
  attr_accessor :instance_variable
  def my_method
    @instance_variable = "blah"
  end
end

my_object = MyClass.new
my_object.instance_variable #=> nil
my_object.my_method
my_object.instance_variable #=> "blah"

MyClass.new.instance_variable #=> nil

How do I find Waldo with Mathematica?

I agree with @GregoryKlopper that the right way to solve the general problem of finding Waldo (or any object of interest) in an arbitrary image would be to train a supervised machine learning classifier. Using many positive and negative labeled examples, an algorithm such as Support Vector Machine, Boosted Decision Stump or Boltzmann Machine could likely be trained to achieve high accuracy on this problem. Mathematica even includes these algorithms in its Machine Learning Framework.

The two challenges with training a Waldo classifier would be:

Determining the right image feature transform. This is where @Heike's answer would be useful: a red filter and a stripped pattern detector (e.g., wavelet or DCT decomposition) would be a good way to turn raw pixels into a format that the classification algorithm could learn from. A block-based decomposition that assesses all subsections of the image would also be required ... but this is made easier by the fact that Waldo is a) always roughly the same size and b) always present exactly once in each image.
Obtaining enough training examples. SVMs work best with at least 100 examples of each class. Commercial applications of boosting (e.g., the face-focusing in digital cameras) are trained on millions of positive and negative examples.

A quick Google image search turns up some good data -- I'm going to have a go at collecting some training examples and coding this up right now!

However, even a machine learning approach (or the rule-based approach suggested by @iND) will struggle for an image like the Land of Waldos!

How to unit test abstract classes: extend with stubs?

There are two ways in which abstract base classes are used.

You are specializing your abstract object, but all clients will use the derived class through its base interface.
You are using an abstract base class to factor out duplication within objects in your design, and clients use the concrete implementations through their own interfaces.!

Solution For 1 - Strategy Pattern

Option1

If you have the first situation, then you actually have an interface defined by the virtual methods in the abstract class that your derived classes are implementing.

You should consider making this a real interface, changing your abstract class to be concrete, and take an instance of this interface in its constructor. Your derived classes then become implementations of this new interface.

IMotor

This means you can now test your previously abstract class using a mock instance of the new interface, and each new implementation through the now public interface. Everything is simple and testable.

Solution For 2

If you have the second situation, then your abstract class is working as a helper class.

AbstractHelper

Take a look at the functionality it contains. See if any of it can be pushed onto the objects that are being manipulated to minimize this duplication. If you still have anything left, look at making it a helper class that your concrete implementation take in their constructor and remove their base class.

Motor Helper

This again leads to concrete classes that are simple and easily testable.

As a Rule

Favor complex network of simple objects over a simple network of complex objects.

The key to extensible testable code is small building blocks and independent wiring.

Updated : How to handle mixtures of both?

It is possible to have a base class performing both of these roles... ie: it has a public interface, and has protected helper methods. If this is the case, then you can factor out the helper methods into one class (scenario2) and convert the inheritance tree into a strategy pattern.

If you find you have some methods your base class implements directly and other are virtual, then you can still convert the inheritance tree into a strategy pattern, but I would also take it as a good indicator that the responsibilities are not correctly aligned, and may need refactoring.

Update 2 : Abstract Classes as a stepping stone (2014/06/12)

I had a situation the other day where I used abstract, so I'd like to explore why.

We have a standard format for our configuration files. This particular tool has 3 configuration files all in that format. I wanted a strongly typed class for each setting file so, through dependency injection, a class could ask for the settings it cared about.

I implemented this by having an abstract base class that knows how to parse the settings files formats and derived classes that exposed those same methods, but encapsulated the location of the settings file.

I could have written a "SettingsFileParser" that the 3 classes wrapped, and then delegated through to the base class to expose the data access methods. I chose not to do this yet as it would lead to 3 derived classes with more delegation code in them than anything else.

However... as this code evolves and the consumers of each of these settings classes become clearer. Each settings users will ask for some settings and transform them in some way (as settings are text they may wrap them in objects of convert them to numbers etc.). As this happens I will start to extract this logic into data manipulation methods and push them back onto the strongly typed settings classes. This will lead to a higher level interface for each set of settings, that is eventually no longer aware it's dealing with 'settings'.

At this point the strongly typed settings classes will no longer need the "getter" methods that expose the underlying 'settings' implementation.

At that point I would no longer want their public interface to include the settings accessor methods; so I will change this class to encapsulate a settings parser class instead of derive from it.

The Abstract class is therefore: a way for me to avoid delegation code at the moment, and a marker in the code to remind me to change the design later. I may never get to it, so it may live a good while... only the code can tell.

I find this to be true with any rule... like "no static methods" or "no private methods". They indicate a smell in the code... and that's good. It keeps you looking for the abstraction that you have missed... and lets you carry on providing value to your customer in the mean time.

I imagine rules like this one defining a landscape, where maintainable code lives in the valleys. As you add new behaviour, it's like rain landing on your code. Initially you put it wherever it lands.. then you refactor to allow the forces of good design to push the behaviour around until it all ends up in the valleys.

How to add action listener that listens to multiple buttons

Here is a modified form of the source based on my comment. Note that GUIs should be constructed & updated on the EDT, though I did not go that far.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Calc {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        JFrame calcFrame = new JFrame();

        // usually a good idea.
        calcFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

        final JButton button1 = new JButton("1");
        button1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
                    button1, "..is the loneliest number");
            }
        });

        calcFrame.add(button1);

        // don't do this..
        // calcFrame.setSize(100, 100);

        // important!
        calcFrame.pack();

        calcFrame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Omit rows containing specific column of NA

You could use the complete.cases function and put it into a function thusly:

DF <- data.frame(x = c(1, 2, 3), y = c(0, 10, NA), z=c(NA, 33, 22))

completeFun <- function(data, desiredCols) {
  completeVec <- complete.cases(data[, desiredCols])
  return(data[completeVec, ])
}

completeFun(DF, "y")
#   x  y  z
# 1 1  0 NA
# 2 2 10 33

completeFun(DF, c("y", "z"))
#   x  y  z
# 2 2 10 33

EDIT: Only return rows with no NAs

If you want to eliminate all rows with at least one NA in any column, just use the complete.cases function straight up:

DF[complete.cases(DF), ]
#   x  y  z
# 2 2 10 33

Or if completeFun is already ingrained in your workflow ;)

completeFun(DF, names(DF))

How do I build JSON dynamically in javascript?

First, I think you're calling it the wrong thing. "JSON" stands for "JavaScript Object Notation" - it's just a specification for representing some data in a string that explicitly mimics JavaScript object (and array, string, number and boolean) literals. You're trying to build up a JavaScript object dynamically - so the word you're looking for is "object".

With that pedantry out of the way, I think that you're asking how to set object and array properties.

// make an empty object
var myObject = {};

// set the "list1" property to an array of strings
myObject.list1 = ['1', '2'];

// you can also access properties by string
myObject['list2'] = [];
// accessing arrays is the same, but the keys are numbers
myObject.list2[0] = 'a';
myObject['list2'][1] = 'b';

myObject.list3 = [];
// instead of placing properties at specific indices, you
// can push them on to the end
myObject.list3.push({});
// or unshift them on to the beginning
myObject.list3.unshift({});
myObject.list3[0]['key1'] = 'value1';
myObject.list3[1]['key2'] = 'value2';

myObject.not_a_list = '11';

That code will build up the object that you specified in your question (except that I call it myObject instead of myJSON). For more information on accessing properties, I recommend the Mozilla JavaScript Guide and the book JavaScript: The Good Parts.

Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

The error means that you are providing not as much data as the table wp_posts does contain columns. And now the DB engine does not know in which columns to put your data.

To overcome this you must provide the names of the columns you want to fill. Example:

insert into wp_posts (column_name1, column_name2)
values (1, 3)

Look up the table definition and see which columns you want to fill.

And insert means you are inserting a new record. You are not modifying an existing one. Use update for that.

Setting a property with an EventTrigger

Stopping the Storyboard can be done in the code behind, or the xaml, depending on where the need comes from.

If the EventTrigger is moved outside of the button, then we can go ahead and target it with another EventTrigger that will tell the storyboard to stop. When the storyboard is stopped in this manner it will not revert to the previous value.

Here I've moved the Button.Click EventTrigger to a surrounding StackPanel and added a new EventTrigger on the the CheckBox.Click to stop the Button's storyboard when the CheckBox is clicked. This lets us check and uncheck the CheckBox when it is clicked on and gives us the desired unchecking behavior from the button as well.

    <StackPanel x:Name="myStackPanel">

        <CheckBox x:Name="myCheckBox"
                  Content="My CheckBox" />

        <Button Content="Click to Uncheck"
                x:Name="myUncheckButton" />

        <Button Content="Click to check the box in code."
                Click="OnClick" />

        <StackPanel.Triggers>

            <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click"
                          SourceName="myUncheckButton">
                <EventTrigger.Actions>
                    <BeginStoryboard x:Name="myBeginStoryboard">
                        <Storyboard x:Name="myStoryboard">
                            <BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="myCheckBox"
                                                            Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsChecked">
                                <DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00"
                                                         Value="False" />
                            </BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                        </Storyboard>
                    </BeginStoryboard>
                </EventTrigger.Actions>
            </EventTrigger>

            <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="CheckBox.Click"
                          SourceName="myCheckBox">
                <EventTrigger.Actions>
                    <StopStoryboard BeginStoryboardName="myBeginStoryboard" />
                </EventTrigger.Actions>
            </EventTrigger>

        </StackPanel.Triggers>
    </StackPanel>

To stop the storyboard in the code behind, we will have to do something slightly different. The third button provides the method where we will stop the storyboard and set the IsChecked property back to true through code.

We can't call myStoryboard.Stop() because we did not begin the Storyboard through the code setting the isControllable parameter. Instead, we can remove the Storyboard. To do this we need the FrameworkElement that the storyboard exists on, in this case our StackPanel. Once the storyboard is removed, we can once again set the IsChecked property with it persisting to the UI.

    private void OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        myStoryboard.Remove(myStackPanel);
        myCheckBox.IsChecked = true;
    }

Compare two MySQL databases

I'm working with Nob Hill's Marketing team, I wanted to tell you I'll be happy to hear your questions, suggestion or anything else, please feel free to contact me.

We originally decided to create our tool from scratch because while there are other such products on the market, none of them do the job right. It’s quite easy to show you the differences between databases. It’s quite another to actually make one database like the other. Smooth migration, both of schema and data, has always been a challenge. Well, we have achieved it here.
We are so confident that it could provide you a smooth migration, than if it doesn’t – if the migration scripts it generates are not readable enough or won’t work for you, and we can’t fix it in five business days – you will get your own free copy!

Model backing a DB Context has changed; Consider Code First Migrations

This error occurs when you have database is not in sync with your model and vice versa. To overcome this , follow the below steps -

a) Add a migration file using add-migration <{Migration File Name}> through the nuget package manager console. This migration file will have the script to sync anything not in sync between Db and code.

b) Update the database using update-database command. This will update the database with the latest changes in your model.

If this does not help, try these steps after adding the line of code in the Application_Start method of Global.asax.cs file -

Database.SetInitializer<VidlyDbContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<VidlyDbContext>());

What is the difference between a deep copy and a shallow copy?

To add more to other answers,

a Shallow Copy of an object performs copy by value for value types based properties, and copy by reference for reference types based properties.
a Deep Copy of an object performs copy by value for value types based properties, as well as copy by value for reference types based properties deep in the hierarchy (of reference types)

Powershell v3 Invoke-WebRequest HTTPS error

I tried searching for documentation on the EM7 OpenSource REST API. No luck so far.

http://blog.sciencelogic.com/sciencelogic-em7-the-next-generation/05/2011

There's a lot of talk about OpenSource REST API, but no link to the actual API or any documentation. Maybe I was impatient.

Here are few things you can try out

$a = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert 
$a.Results | ConvertFrom-Json

Try this to see if you can filter out the columns that you are getting from the API

$a.Results | ft

or, you can try using this also

$b = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert 
$b.Content | ConvertFrom-Json

Curl Style Headers

$b.Headers

I tested the IRM / IWR with the twitter JSON api.

$a = Invoke-RestMethod http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=PowerShell

Hope this helps.

Reactive forms - disabled attribute

In my case with Angular 8. I wanted to toggle enable/disable of the input depending on the condition.

[attr.disabled] didn't work for me so here is my solution.

I removed [attr.disabled] from HTML and in the component function performed this check:

if (condition) {
    this.form.controls.myField.disable();
} else {
    this.form.controls.myField.enable();
}

Android Studio Image Asset Launcher Icon Background Color

This is just another workaround.

For the 'Foreground Layer', select 'Asset type' as text and delete the default text in the text field.

For the 'Background Layer', select 'Asset type' as image and now choose the path of the image you want as an icon.

And you are good to go.

HTML5 <video> element on Android

This might not exactly answer your question, but we're using the 3GP or 3GP2 file format. Better even to use the rtsp protocol, but the Android browser will also recognize the 3GP file format.

You can use something like

self.location = URL_OF_YOUR_3GP_FILE

to trigger the video player. The file will be streamed and after playback ends, handling is returned to the browser.

For me this solves a lot of problems with current video tag implementation on android devices.

How to get the first non-null value in Java?

If there are only two references to test and you are using Java 8, you could use

Object o = null;
Object p = "p";
Object r = Optional.ofNullable( o ).orElse( p );
System.out.println( r );   // p

If you import static Optional the expression is not too bad.

Unfortunately your case with "several variables" is not possible with an Optional-method. Instead you could use:

Object o = null;
Object p = null;
Object q = "p";

Optional<Object> r = Stream.of( o, p, q ).filter( Objects::nonNull ).findFirst();
System.out.println( r.orElse(null) );   // p

iPhone X / 8 / 8 Plus CSS media queries

I noticed that the answers here are using: device-width, device-height, min-device-width, min-device-height, max-device-width, max-device-height.

Please refrain from using them since they are deprecated. see MDN for reference. Instead use the regular min-width, max-width and so on. For extra assurance, you can set the min and max to the same px amount. For example:

iPhone X

@media only screen 
    and (width : 375px) 
    and (height : 635px)

How to check if a DateTime field is not null or empty?

DateTime is not standard nullable type. If you want assign null to DateTime type of variable, you have to use DateTime? type which supports null value.

If you only want test your variable to be set (e.g. variable holds other than default value), you can use keyword "default" like in following code:

if (dateTimeVariable == default(DateTime))
{
    //do work for dateTimeVariable == null situation
}

Angular2 Routing with Hashtag to page anchor

None of the previous answers worked for me. In a last ditch effort, I tried in my template:

<a (click)="onClick()">From Here</a>
<div id='foobar'>To Here</div>

With this in my .ts:

onClick(){
    let x = document.querySelector("#foobar");
    if (x){
        x.scrollIntoView();
    }
}

And it works as expected for internal links. This does not actually use anchor tags so it would not touch the URL at all.

Only the iOS devices symbols. As this option says:

This package includes information and symbols that Xcode needs for debugging your app on iOS devices running versions of iOS prior to iOS 4.2. If you intend to debug your app on a device running one of these versions of iOS you should install this package.

That is, you need an iOS 4.2 device to test an iOS 4.2 application

How to parse JSON with VBA without external libraries?

Call me simple but I just declared a Variant and split the responsetext from my REST GET on the quote comma quote between each item, then got the value I wanted by looking for the last quote with InStrRev. I'm sure that's not as elegant as some of the other suggestions but it works for me.

         varLines = Split(.responsetext, """,""")
        strType = Mid(varLines(8), InStrRev(varLines(8), """") + 1)

How to use sudo inside a docker container?

Unlike accepted answer, I use usermod instead.

Assume already logged-in as root in docker, and "fruit" is the new non-root username I want to add, simply run this commands:

apt update && apt install sudo
adduser fruit
usermod -aG sudo fruit

Remember to save image after update. Use docker ps to get current running docker's <CONTAINER ID> and <IMAGE>, then run docker commit -m "added sudo user" <CONTAINER ID> <IMAGE> to save docker image.

Then test with:

su fruit
sudo whoami

Or test by direct login(ensure save image first) as that non-root user when launch docker:

docker run -it --user fruit <IMAGE>
sudo whoami

You can use sudo -k to reset password prompt timestamp:

sudo whoami # No password prompt
sudo -k # Invalidates the user's cached credentials
sudo whoami # This will prompt for password
