How do I install g++ on MacOS X?

Type g++(or make) on terminal.

This will prompt for you to install the developer tools, if they are missing.

Also the size will be very less when compared to xcode

Can't connect to localhost on SQL Server Express 2012 / 2016

This is odd I have a similar problem. I downloaded the package for SQL 2012 Express with Tools but the Database Engine was not install.

I donloaded the other one from the MS site and this one installed the database engine. After a reboot the services were listed and ready to go.

What do 1.#INF00, -1.#IND00 and -1.#IND mean?

From IEEE floating-point exceptions in C++ :

This page will answer the following questions.

• My program just printed out 1.#IND or 1.#INF (on Windows) or nan or inf (on Linux). What happened?
• How can I tell if a number is really a number and not a NaN or an infinity?
• How can I find out more details at runtime about kinds of NaNs and infinities?
• Do you have any sample code to show how this works?
• Where can I learn more?

These questions have to do with floating point exceptions. If you get some strange non-numeric output where you're expecting a number, you've either exceeded the finite limits of floating point arithmetic or you've asked for some result that is undefined. To keep things simple, I'll stick to working with the double floating point type. Similar remarks hold for float types.

Debugging 1.#IND, 1.#INF, nan, and inf

If your operation would generate a larger positive number than could be stored in a double, the operation will return 1.#INF on Windows or inf on Linux. Similarly your code will return -1.#INF or -inf if the result would be a negative number too large to store in a double. Dividing a positive number by zero produces a positive infinity and dividing a negative number by zero produces a negative infinity. Example code at the end of this page will demonstrate some operations that produce infinities.

Some operations don't make mathematical sense, such as taking the square root of a negative number. (Yes, this operation makes sense in the context of complex numbers, but a double represents a real number and so there is no double to represent the result.) The same is true for logarithms of negative numbers. Both sqrt(-1.0) and log(-1.0) would return a NaN, the generic term for a "number" that is "not a number". Windows displays a NaN as -1.#IND ("IND" for "indeterminate") while Linux displays nan. Other operations that would return a NaN include 0/0, 0*8, and 8/8. See the sample code below for examples.

In short, if you get 1.#INF or inf, look for overflow or division by zero. If you get 1.#IND or nan, look for illegal operations. Maybe you simply have a bug. If it's more subtle and you have something that is difficult to compute, see Avoiding Overflow, Underflow, and Loss of Precision. That article gives tricks for computing results that have intermediate steps overflow if computed directly.

How do I prevent Eclipse from hanging on startup?

I did this:

1. cd to .metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources
2. remove the file .snap
3. Noticed the Progress tab was doing something every few seconds..it seemed stuck
4. Exit eclipse (DO NOT FILE|RESTART HERE OR YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO STEP 1 AGAIN)
5. Open eclipse again.

Using -refresh or -clean when starting eclipse did not help.

jQuery toggle CSS?

For jQuery versions lower than 1.9 (see https://api.jquery.com/toggle-event):

$('#user_button').toggle(function () {
    $("#user_button").css({borderBottomLeftRadius: "0px"});
}, function () {
    $("#user_button").css({borderBottomLeftRadius: "5px"});
});

Using classes in this case would be better than setting the css directly though, look at the addClass and removeClass methods alecwh mentioned.

$('#user_button').toggle(function () {
    $("#user_button").addClass("active");
}, function () {
    $("#user_button").removeClass("active");
});

Read specific columns from a csv file with csv module?

To fetch column name, instead of using readlines() better use readline() to avoid loop & reading the complete file & storing it in the array.

    line = csvfile.readline()

    first_item = line.split(',')

URL to load resources from the classpath in Java

An extension to Dilums's answer:

Without changing code, you likely need pursue custom implementations of URL related interfaces as Dilum recommends. To simplify things for you, I can recommend looking at the source for Spring Framework's Resources. While the code is not in the form of a stream handler, it has been designed to do exactly what you are looking to do and is under the ASL 2.0 license, making it friendly enough for re-use in your code with due credit.

How can you profile a Python script?

I recently created tuna for visualizing Python runtime and import profiles; this may be helpful here.

Install with

pip install tuna

Create a runtime profile

python3 -m cProfile -o program.prof yourfile.py

or an import profile (Python 3.7+ required)

python3 -X importprofile yourfile.py 2> import.log

Then just run tuna on the file

tuna program.prof

Why am I getting an error "Object literal may only specify known properties"?

As of TypeScript 1.6, properties in object literals that do not have a corresponding property in the type they're being assigned to are flagged as errors.

Usually this error means you have a bug (typically a typo) in your code, or in the definition file. The right fix in this case would be to fix the typo. In the question, the property callbackOnLoactionHash is incorrect and should have been callbackOnLocationHash (note the mis-spelling of "Location").

This change also required some updates in definition files, so you should get the latest version of the .d.ts for any libraries you're using.

Example:

interface TextOptions {
    alignment?: string;
    color?: string;
    padding?: number;
}
function drawText(opts: TextOptions) { ... }
drawText({ align: 'center' }); // Error, no property 'align' in 'TextOptions'

But I meant to do that

There are a few cases where you may have intended to have extra properties in your object. Depending on what you're doing, there are several appropriate fixes

Type-checking only some properties

Sometimes you want to make sure a few things are present and of the correct type, but intend to have extra properties for whatever reason. Type assertions (<T>v or v as T) do not check for extra properties, so you can use them in place of a type annotation:

interface Options {
    x?: string;
    y?: number;
}

// Error, no property 'z' in 'Options'
let q1: Options = { x: 'foo', y: 32, z: 100 };
// OK
let q2 = { x: 'foo', y: 32, z: 100 } as Options;
// Still an error (good):
let q3 = { x: 100, y: 32, z: 100 } as Options;

These properties and maybe more

Some APIs take an object and dynamically iterate over its keys, but have 'special' keys that need to be of a certain type. Adding a string indexer to the type will disable extra property checking

Before

interface Model {
  name: string;
}
function createModel(x: Model) { ... }

// Error
createModel({name: 'hello', length: 100});

After

interface Model {
  name: string;
  [others: string]: any;
}
function createModel(x: Model) { ... }

// OK
createModel({name: 'hello', length: 100});

This is a dog or a cat or a horse, not sure yet

interface Animal { move; }
interface Dog extends Animal { woof; }
interface Cat extends Animal { meow; }
interface Horse extends Animal { neigh; }

let x: Animal;
if(...) {
  x = { move: 'doggy paddle', woof: 'bark' };
} else if(...) {
  x = { move: 'catwalk', meow: 'mrar' };
} else {
  x = { move: 'gallop', neigh: 'wilbur' };
}

Two good solutions come to mind here

Specify a closed set for x

// Removes all errors
let x: Dog|Cat|Horse;

or Type assert each thing

// For each initialization
  x = { move: 'doggy paddle', woof: 'bark' } as Dog;

This type is sometimes open and sometimes not

A clean solution to the "data model" problem using intersection types:

interface DataModelOptions {
  name?: string;
  id?: number;
}
interface UserProperties {
  [key: string]: any;
}
function createDataModel(model: DataModelOptions & UserProperties) {
 /* ... */
}
// findDataModel can only look up by name or id
function findDataModel(model: DataModelOptions) {
 /* ... */
}
// OK
createDataModel({name: 'my model', favoriteAnimal: 'cat' });
// Error, 'ID' is not correct (should be 'id')
findDataModel({ ID: 32 });

Bootstrap: how do I change the width of the container?

You are tying one had behind your back saying that you won't use the LESS files. I built my first Twitter Bootstrap theme using 2.0, and I did everything in CSS -- creating an override.css file. It took days to get things to work correctly.

Now we have 3.0. Let me assure you that it takes less time to learn LESS, which is pretty straight forward if you're comfortable with CSS, than doing all of those crazy CSS overrides. Making changes like the one you want is a piece of cake.

In Bootstrap 3.0, the container class controls the width, and all of the contained styles adjust to fill the container. The container width variables are at the bottom of the variables.less file.

// Container sizes
// --------------------------------------------------

// Small screen / tablet
@container-tablet:            ((720px + @grid-gutter-width));

// Medium screen / desktop
@container-desktop:           ((940px + @grid-gutter-width));

// Large screen / wide desktop
@container-lg-desktop:        ((1020px + @grid-gutter-width));

Some sites either don't have enough content to fill the 1020 display or you want a narrower frame for aesthetic reasons. Because BS uses a 12-column grid I use a multiple like 960.

AngularJS - Does $destroy remove event listeners?

Event listeners

First off it's important to understand that there are two kinds of "event listeners":

1. Scope event listeners registered via $on:

   $scope.$on('anEvent', function (event, data) {
     ...
   });
   

2. Event handlers attached to elements via for example on or bind:

   element.on('click', function (event) {
     ...
   });
   

---

$scope.$destroy()

When $scope.$destroy() is executed it will remove all listeners registered via $on on that $scope.

It will not remove DOM elements or any attached event handlers of the second kind.

This means that calling $scope.$destroy() manually from example within a directive's link function will not remove a handler attached via for example element.on, nor the DOM element itself.

---

element.remove()

Note that remove is a jqLite method (or a jQuery method if jQuery is loaded before AngularjS) and is not available on a standard DOM Element Object.

When element.remove() is executed that element and all of its children will be removed from the DOM together will all event handlers attached via for example element.on.

It will not destroy the $scope associated with the element.

To make it more confusing there is also a jQuery event called $destroy. Sometimes when working with third-party jQuery libraries that remove elements, or if you remove them manually, you might need to perform clean up when that happens:

element.on('$destroy', function () {
  scope.$destroy();
});

---

What to do when a directive is "destroyed"

This depends on how the directive is "destroyed".

A normal case is that a directive is destroyed because ng-view changes the current view. When this happens the ng-view directive will destroy the associated $scope, sever all the references to its parent scope and call remove() on the element.

This means that if that view contains a directive with this in its link function when it's destroyed by ng-view:

scope.$on('anEvent', function () {
 ...
});

element.on('click', function () {
 ...
});

Both event listeners will be removed automatically.

However, it's important to note that the code inside these listeners can still cause memory leaks, for example if you have achieved the common JS memory leak pattern circular references.

Even in this normal case of a directive getting destroyed due to a view changing there are things you might need to manually clean up.

For example if you have registered a listener on $rootScope:

var unregisterFn = $rootScope.$on('anEvent', function () {});

scope.$on('$destroy', unregisterFn);

This is needed since $rootScope is never destroyed during the lifetime of the application.

The same goes if you are using another pub/sub implementation that doesn't automatically perform the necessary cleanup when the $scope is destroyed, or if your directive passes callbacks to services.

Another situation would be to cancel $interval/$timeout:

var promise = $interval(function () {}, 1000);

scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
  $interval.cancel(promise);
});

If your directive attaches event handlers to elements for example outside the current view, you need to manually clean those up as well:

var windowClick = function () {
   ...
};

angular.element(window).on('click', windowClick);

scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
  angular.element(window).off('click', windowClick);
});

These were some examples of what to do when directives are "destroyed" by Angular, for example by ng-view or ng-if.

If you have custom directives that manage the lifecycle of DOM elements etc. it will of course get more complex.

PDF to byte array and vice versa

PDFs may contain binary data and chances are it's getting mangled when you do ToString. It seems to me that you want this:

        byte bytearray[] = new byte[numberBytes];

        inputStream .read(bytearray);

How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date?

Because ISO 8601 allows many variations of optional colons and dashes being present, basically CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[Z|(+|-)hh:mm]. If you want to use strptime, you need to strip out those variations first.

The goal is to generate a utc datetime object.

---

If you just want a basic case that work for UTC with the Z suffix like 2016-06-29T19:36:29.3453Z:

datetime.datetime.strptime(timestamp.translate(None, ':-'), "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%fZ")

---

If you want to handle timezone offsets like 2016-06-29T19:36:29.3453-0400 or 2008-09-03T20:56:35.450686+05:00 use the following. These will convert all variations into something without variable delimiters like 20080903T205635.450686+0500 making it more consistent/easier to parse.

import re
# this regex removes all colons and all 
# dashes EXCEPT for the dash indicating + or - utc offset for the timezone
conformed_timestamp = re.sub(r"[:]|([-](?!((\d{2}[:]\d{2})|(\d{4}))$))", '', timestamp)
datetime.datetime.strptime(conformed_timestamp, "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%f%z" )

---

If your system does not support the %z strptime directive (you see something like ValueError: 'z' is a bad directive in format '%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%f%z') then you need to manually offset the time from Z (UTC). Note %z may not work on your system in python versions < 3 as it depended on the c library support which varies across system/python build type (i.e. Jython, Cython, etc.).

import re
import datetime

# this regex removes all colons and all 
# dashes EXCEPT for the dash indicating + or - utc offset for the timezone
conformed_timestamp = re.sub(r"[:]|([-](?!((\d{2}[:]\d{2})|(\d{4}))$))", '', timestamp)

# split on the offset to remove it. use a capture group to keep the delimiter
split_timestamp = re.split(r"[+|-]",conformed_timestamp)
main_timestamp = split_timestamp[0]
if len(split_timestamp) == 3:
    sign = split_timestamp[1]
    offset = split_timestamp[2]
else:
    sign = None
    offset = None

# generate the datetime object without the offset at UTC time
output_datetime = datetime.datetime.strptime(main_timestamp +"Z", "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S.%fZ" )
if offset:
    # create timedelta based on offset
    offset_delta = datetime.timedelta(hours=int(sign+offset[:-2]), minutes=int(sign+offset[-2:]))
    # offset datetime with timedelta
    output_datetime = output_datetime + offset_delta

Does a `+` in a URL scheme/host/path represent a space?

Space characters may only be encoded as "+" in one context: application/x-www-form-urlencoded key-value pairs.

The RFC-1866 (HTML 2.0 specification), paragraph 8.2.1. subparagraph 1. says: "The form field names and values are escaped: space characters are replaced by `+', and then reserved characters are escaped").

Here is an example of such a string in URL where RFC-1866 allows encoding spaces as pluses: "http://example.com/over/there?name=foo+bar". So, only after "?", spaces can be replaced by pluses (in other cases, spaces should be encoded to %20). This way of encoding form data is also given in later HTML specifications, for example, look for relevant paragraphs about application/x-www-form-urlencoded in HTML 4.01 Specification, and so on.

But, because it's hard to always correctly determine the context, it's the best practice to never encode spaces as "+". It's better to percent-encode all character except "unreserved" defined in RFC-3986, p.2.3. Here is a code example that illustrates what should be encoded. It is given in Delphi (pascal) programming language, but it is very easy to understand how it works for any programmer regardless of the language possessed:

(* percent-encode all unreserved characters as defined in RFC-3986, p.2.3 *)
function UrlEncodeRfcA(const S: AnsiString): AnsiString;
const    
  HexCharArrA: array [0..15] of AnsiChar = '0123456789ABCDEF';
var
  I: Integer;
  c: AnsiChar;
begin
 // percent-encoding, see RFC-3986, p. 2.1
  Result := S;
  for I := Length(S) downto 1 do
  begin
    c := S[I];
    case c of
      'A' .. 'Z', 'a' .. 'z', // alpha
      '0' .. '9',             // digit
      '-', '.', '_', '~':;    // rest of unreserved characters as defined in the RFC-3986, p.2.3
      else
        begin
          Result[I] := '%';
          Insert('00', Result, I + 1);
          Result[I + 1] := HexCharArrA[(Byte(C) shr 4) and $F)];
          Result[I + 2] := HexCharArrA[Byte(C) and $F];
        end;
    end;
  end;
end;

function UrlEncodeRfcW(const S: UnicodeString): AnsiString;
begin
  Result := UrlEncodeRfcA(Utf8Encode(S));
end;

In the NextActivity.java

Intent getIntent = getIntent();
//call a TextView object to set the string to
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview_id);
text.setText(getIntent.getStringExtra("string_name"));

This works for me, you can try it.

Checking for a null int value from a Java ResultSet

Just an update with Java Generics.

You could create an utility method to retrieve an optional value of any Java type from a given ResultSet, previously casted.

Unfortunately, getObject(columnName, Class) does not return null, but the default value for given Java type, so 2 calls are required

public <T> T getOptionalValue(final ResultSet rs, final String columnName, final Class<T> clazz) throws SQLException {
    final T value = rs.getObject(columnName, clazz);
    return rs.wasNull() ? null : value;
}

In this example, your code could look like below:

final Integer columnValue = getOptionalValue(rs, Integer.class);
if (columnValue == null) {
    //null handling
} else {
    //use int value of columnValue with autoboxing
}

React - Preventing Form Submission

I think it's first worth noting that without javascript (plain html), the form element submits when clicking either the <input type="submit" value="submit form"> or <button>submits form too</button>. In javascript you can prevent that by using an event handler and calling e.preventDefault() on button click, or form submit. e is the event object passed into the event handler. With react, the two relevant event handlers are available via the form as onSubmit, and the other on the button via onClick.

How to correctly set Http Request Header in Angular 2

We can do it nicely using Interceptors. You dont have to set options in all your services neither manage all your error responses, just define 2 interceptors (one to do something before sending the request to server and one to do something before sending the server's response to your service)

1. Define an AuthInterceptor class to do something before sending the request to the server. You can set the api token (retrieve it from localStorage, see step 4) and other options in this class.
2. Define an responseInterceptor class to do something before sending the server response to your service (httpClient). You can manage your server response, the most comon use is to check if the user's token is valid (if not clear token from localStorage and redirect to login).

3. In your app.module import HTTP_INTERCEPTORS from '@angular/common/http'. Then add to your providers the interceptors (AuthInterceptor and responseInterceptor). Doing this your app will consider the interceptors in all our httpClient calls.

4. At login http response (use http service), save the token at localStorage.

5. Then use httpClient for all your apirest services.

This feels like a glaring functionality hole to me, so I decided to re-implement this feature using a HTTP module. The solution below allows you to handle any HTTP status code (including 404) by redirecting to any valid MVC route just as you would do normally.

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite">
    <error statusCode="404" redirect="404.aspx" />
    <error statusCode="500" redirect="~/MVCErrorPage" />
</customErrors>

This has been tested on the following platforms;

• MVC4 in Integrated Pipeline Mode (IIS Express 8)
• MVC4 in Classic Mode (VS Development Server, Cassini)
• MVC4 in Classic Mode (IIS6)

Benefits

• Generic solution which can be dropped into any MVC project
• Enables support for traditional custom errors configuration
• Works in both Integrated Pipeline and Classic modes

The Solution

namespace Foo.Bar.Modules {

    /// <summary>
    /// Enables support for CustomErrors ResponseRewrite mode in MVC.
    /// </summary>
    public class ErrorHandler : IHttpModule {

        private HttpContext HttpContext { get { return HttpContext.Current; } }
        private CustomErrorsSection CustomErrors { get; set; }

        public void Init(HttpApplication application) {
            System.Configuration.Configuration configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
            CustomErrors = (CustomErrorsSection)configuration.GetSection("system.web/customErrors");

            application.EndRequest += Application_EndRequest;
        }

        protected void Application_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) {

            // only handle rewrite mode, ignore redirect configuration (if it ain't broke don't re-implement it)
            if (CustomErrors.RedirectMode == CustomErrorsRedirectMode.ResponseRewrite && HttpContext.IsCustomErrorEnabled) {

                int statusCode = HttpContext.Response.StatusCode;

                // if this request has thrown an exception then find the real status code
                Exception exception = HttpContext.Error;
                if (exception != null) {
                    // set default error status code for application exceptions
                    statusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError;
                }

                HttpException httpException = exception as HttpException;
                if (httpException != null) {
                    statusCode = httpException.GetHttpCode();
                }

                if ((HttpStatusCode)statusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK) {

                    Dictionary<int, string> errorPaths = new Dictionary<int, string>();

                    foreach (CustomError error in CustomErrors.Errors) {
                        errorPaths.Add(error.StatusCode, error.Redirect);
                    }

                    // find a custom error path for this status code
                    if (errorPaths.Keys.Contains(statusCode)) {
                        string url = errorPaths[statusCode];

                        // avoid circular redirects
                        if (!HttpContext.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.Equals(VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(url))) {

                            HttpContext.Response.Clear();
                            HttpContext.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;

                            HttpContext.Server.ClearError();

                            // do the redirect here
                            if (HttpRuntime.UsingIntegratedPipeline) {
                                HttpContext.Server.TransferRequest(url, true);
                            }
                            else {
                                HttpContext.RewritePath(url, false);

                                IHttpHandler httpHandler = new MvcHttpHandler();
                                httpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext);
                            }

                            // return the original status code to the client
                            // (this won't work in integrated pipleline mode)
                            HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = statusCode;

                        }
                    }

                }

            }

        }

        public void Dispose() {

        }


    }

}

Usage

Include this as the final HTTP module in your web.config

  <system.web>
    <httpModules>
      <add name="ErrorHandler" type="Foo.Bar.Modules.ErrorHandler" />
    </httpModules>
  </system.web>

  <!-- IIS7+ -->
  <system.webServer>
    <modules>
      <add name="ErrorHandler" type="Foo.Bar.Modules.ErrorHandler" />
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>

---

For those of you paying attention you will notice that in Integrated Pipeline mode this will always respond with HTTP 200 due to the way Server.TransferRequest works. To return the proper error code I use the following error controller.

public class ErrorController : Controller {

    public ErrorController() { }

    public ActionResult Index(int id) {
        // pass real error code to client
        HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = id;
        HttpContext.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;

        return View("Errors/" + id.ToString());
    }

}

How do I iterate through children elements of a div using jQuery?

$('#myDiv').children().each( (index, element) => {
    console.log(index);     // children's index
    console.log(element);   // children's element
 });

This iterates through all the children and their element with index value can be accessed separately using element and index respectively.

Reverse a string in Python

 a=input()
 print(a[::-1])

The above code recieves the input from the user and prints an output that is equal to the reverse of the input by adding [::-1].

OUTPUT:

>>> Happy 
>>> yppaH

But when it comes to the case of sentences, view the code output below:

>>> Have a happy day
>>> yad yppah a evaH

But if you want only the characters of the string to be reversed and not the sequence of string, try this:

a=input().split() #Splits the input on the basis of space (" ")
for b in a: #declares that var (b) is any value in the list (a)
    print(b[::-1], end=" ") #End declares to print the character in its quotes (" ") without a new line.

In the above code in line 2 in I said that ** variable b is any value in the list (a)** I said var a to be a list because when you use split in an input the variable of the input becomes a list. Also remember that split can't be used in the case of int(input())

OUTPUT:

>>> Have a happy day
>>> evaH a yppah yad

If we don't add end(" ") in the above code then it will print like the following:

>>> Have a happy day
>>> evaH
>>> a
>>> yppah
>>> yad

Below is an example to understand end():

CODE:

for i in range(1,6):
     print(i) #Without end()

OUTPUT:

>>> 1
>>> 2
>>> 3
>>> 4
>>> 5

Now code with end():

for i in range(1,6):
    print(i, end=" || ")

OUTPUT:

>>> 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 ||

JQuery style display value

If you want to check the display value, https://stackoverflow.com/a/1189281/5622596 already posted the answer.

However if instead of checking whether an element has a style of style="display:none" you want to know if that element is visible. Then use .is(":visible")

For example: $('#idDetails').is(":visible");

This will be true if it is visible & false if it is not.

How to enable support of CPU virtualization on Macbook Pro?

Here is a way to check is virtualization is enabled or disabled by the firmware as suggested by this link in parallels.com.

How to check that Intel VT-x is supported in CPU:

1. Open Terminal application from Application/Utilities

2. Copy/paste command bellow

sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features

3. You may see output similar to:

Mac:~ user$ sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features kern.exec: unknown type returned machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON VMX EST TM2 TPR PDCM

If you see VMX entry then CPU supports Intel VT-x feature, but it still may be disabled.

Refer to this link on Apple.com to enable hardware support for virtualization:

How to serve an image using nodejs

It is too late but helps someone, I'm using node version v7.9.0 and express version 4.15.0

if your directory structure is something like this:

your-project
   uploads
   package.json
   server.js

server.js code:

var express         = require('express');
var app             = express();
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/uploads'));// you can access image 
 //using this url: http://localhost:7000/abc.jpg
//make sure `abc.jpg` is present in `uploads` dir.

//Or you can change the directory for hiding real directory name:

`app.use('/images', express.static(__dirname+'/uploads/'));// you can access image using this url: http://localhost:7000/images/abc.jpg


app.listen(7000);

How to loop through a HashMap in JSP?

Just the same way as you would do in normal Java code.

for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : countries.entrySet()) {
    String key = entry.getKey();
    String value = entry.getValue();
    // ...
}

---

However, scriptlets (raw Java code in JSP files, those <% %> things) are considered a poor practice. I recommend to install JSTL (just drop the JAR file in /WEB-INF/lib and declare the needed taglibs in top of JSP). It has a <c:forEach> tag which can iterate over among others Maps. Every iteration will give you a Map.Entry back which in turn has getKey() and getValue() methods.

Here's a basic example:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

<c:forEach items="${map}" var="entry">
    Key = ${entry.key}, value = ${entry.value}<br>
</c:forEach>

Thus your particular issue can be solved as follows:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

<select name="country">
    <c:forEach items="${countries}" var="country">
        <option value="${country.key}">${country.value}</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

You need a Servlet or a ServletContextListener to place the ${countries} in the desired scope. If this list is supposed to be request-based, then use the Servlet's doGet():

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    Map<String, String> countries = MainUtils.getCountries();
    request.setAttribute("countries", countries);
    request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/page.jsp").forward(request, response);
}

Or if this list is supposed to be an application-wide constant, then use ServletContextListener's contextInitialized() so that it will be loaded only once and kept in memory:

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
    Map<String, String> countries = MainUtils.getCountries();
    event.getServletContext().setAttribute("countries", countries);
}

In both cases the countries will be available in EL by ${countries}.

Hope this helps.

How do I iterate and modify Java Sets?

You could create a mutable wrapper of the primitive int and create a Set of those:

class MutableInteger
{
    private int value;
    public int getValue()
    {
        return value;
    }
    public void setValue(int value)
    {
        this.value = value;
    }
}

class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Set<MutableInteger> mySet = new HashSet<MutableInteger>();
        // populate the set
        // ....

        for (MutableInteger integer: mySet)
        {
            integer.setValue(integer.getValue() + 1);
        }
    }
}

Of course if you are using a HashSet you should implement the hash, equals method in your MutableInteger but that's outside the scope of this answer.

ObservableCollection not noticing when Item in it changes (even with INotifyPropertyChanged)

Simple solution in 2 lines of code. Just use the copy constructor. No need to write TrulyObservableCollection etc.

Example:

        speakers.list[0].Status = "offline";
        speakers.list[0] = new Speaker(speakers.list[0]);

Another method without copy constructor. You can use serialization.

        speakers.list[0].Status = "offline";
        //speakers.list[0] = new Speaker(speakers.list[0]);
        var tmp  = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(speakers.list[0]);
        var tmp2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Speaker>(tmp);
        speakers.list[0] = tmp2;

Dynamic instantiation from string name of a class in dynamically imported module?

I couldn't quite get there in my use case from the examples above, but Ahmad got me the closest (thank you). For those reading this in the future, here is the code that worked for me.

    """
    Returns an instantiated class for the given string descriptors
    :param fully_qualified_path: The path to the module eg("Utilities.Printer")
    :param module_name: The module name eg("Printer")
    :param class_name: The class name eg("ScreenPrinter")
    :param instantiation: Any fields required to instantiate the class
    :return: An instance of the class
    """
    p = __import__(fully_qualified_path)
    m = getattr(p, module_name)
    c = getattr(m, class_name)
    instance = c(*instantiation)
    return instance

Example of a strong and weak entity types

A weak entity is one that can only exist when owned by another one. For example: a ROOM can only exist in a BUILDING. On the other hand, a TIRE might be considered as a strong entity because it also can exist without being attached to a CAR.

Connection to SQL Server Works Sometimes

It turned out that TCP/IP was enabled for the IPv4 address, but not for the IPv6 address, of THESERVER.

Apparently some connection attempts ended up using IPv4 and others used IPv6.

Enabling TCP/IP for both IP versions resolved the issue.

The fact that SSMS worked turned out to be coincidental (the first few attempts presumably used IPv4). Some later attempts to connect through SSMS resulted in the same error message.

To enable TCP/IP for additional IP addresses:

• Start Sql Server Configuration Manager
• Open the node SQL Server Network Configuration
• Left-click Protocols for MYSQLINSTANCE
• In the right-hand pane, right-click TCP/IP
• Click Properties
• Select the IP Addresses tab
• For each listed IP address, ensure Active and Enabled are both Yes.

SSH library for Java

I just discovered sshj, which seems to have a much more concise API than JSCH (but it requires Java 6). The documentation is mostly by examples-in-the-repo at this point, and usually that's enough for me to look elsewhere, but it seems good enough for me to give it a shot on a project I just started.

ORA-00942: table or view does not exist (works when a separate sql, but does not work inside a oracle function)

A very simple solution is to add the database name with your table name like if your DB name is DBMS and table is info then it will be DBMS.info for any query.

If your query is

select * from STUDENTREC where ROLL_NO=1;

it might show an error but

select * from DBMS.STUDENTREC where ROLL_NO=1; 

it doesn't because now actually your table is found.

How to find and replace all occurrences of a string recursively in a directory tree?

For me works the next command:

find /path/to/dir -name "file.txt" | xargs sed -i 's/string_to_replace/new_string/g'

if string contains slash 'path/to/dir' it can be replace with another character to separate, like '@' instead '/'.

For example: 's@string/to/replace@new/string@g'

Reference from this Github repository, modified a bit. After excessive testing this rule does not solve all problems. We have a Wordpress webshop, which has 40 plugins and somewhere is there a rewrite clash. I sincerely hope next version of Wordpress has no URL rewrites.

---

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

The ^ signifies start of the string, \ escapes . or it would mean any character, and $ signifies end of the string.

^index\.php$ if http(s)://hostname/index.php - do nothing [END] flag can be used to terminate not only the current round of rewrite processing but prevent any subsequent rewrite processing.

---

RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php)?$ [OR]

In RewriteCond using $1 as a test string references to captured contents of everything from the start to the end of the url http(s)://hostname/bla/bla.php. If used in substitution or condition it references to captured backreference. RewriteRule (bla)/(ble\.php)$ - for http(s)://hostname/bla/ble.php captures bla into $1 and ble.php into $2. Multiple capture groups can be accessed via $3..N.

( ) groups several characters into single unit, ? forces the match optional. [OR] flag allows you to combine rewrite conditions with a logical OR relationship as opposed to the default AND.

In short, if bla/bla.php contains index.php OR next condition

---

RewriteCond $1 \.(gif|jpg|png|ico|css|js)$ [NC,OR]

( ) groups several characters into single unit, | separates characters to subgroups and conditions them if any one of. [NC] flag causes the RewriteRule to be matched in case-insensitive manner.

In short, if bla/bla.php ends with any of the filetypes OR next condition

---

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

Server-Variables are variables of the form %{ NAME_OF_VARIABLE } where NAME_OF_VARIABLE can be a string taken from the following list:

%{REQUEST_FILENAME} is full local filesystem path to the file or script matching the request, if this has already been determined by the server at the time REQUEST_FILENAME is referenced. Otherwise, such as when used in virtual host context, the same value as REQUEST_URI. Depending on the value of AcceptPathInfo, the server may have only used some leading components of the REQUEST_URI to map the request to a file.

-f check for regular file. Treats the test string as pathname and tests whether or not it exists.

In short, if bla/bla.php is a file OR next condition

---

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

-d check for directory. Treats the test string as a pathname and tests whether or not it exists.

In short, if bla/bla.php is a directory

---

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [END] not as in Github [S=1]

This statement is only executed when one of the condition returned true.

. match any character * zero or more times.

The [S] flag is used to skip rules that you don't want to run. The syntax of the skip flag is [S=N], where N signifies the number of rules to skip (provided the RewriteRule matches). This can be thought of as a goto statement in your rewrite ruleset. In the following example, we only want to run the RewriteRule if the requested URI doesn't correspond with an actual file.

In short, do nothing

---

RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]

The [L] flag causes mod_rewrite to stop processing the rule set. In most contexts, this means that if the rule matches, no further rules will be processed. This corresponds to the last command in Perl, or the break command in C. Use this flag to indicate that the current rule should be applied immediately without considering further rules.

In short, rewrite every path as http(s)://hostname/index.php

How to debug on a real device (using Eclipse/ADT)

With an Android-powered device, you can develop and debug your Android applications just as you would on the emulator.

1. Declare your application as "debuggable" in AndroidManifest.xml.

<application
    android:debuggable="true"
    ... >
    ...
</application>

2. On your handset, navigate to Settings > Security and check Unknown sources

3. Go to Settings > Developer Options and check USB debugging
Note that if Developer Options is invisible you will need to navigate to Settings > About Phone and tap on Build number several times until you are notified that it has been unlocked.

4. Set up your system to detect your device.
Follow the instructions below for your OS:

---

Windows Users

Install the Google USB Driver from the ADT SDK Manager
(Support for: ADP1, ADP2, Verizon Droid, Nexus One, Nexus S).

For devices not listed above, install an OEM driver for your device

---

Mac OS X

Your device should automatically work; Go to the next step

---

Ubuntu Linux

Add a udev rules file that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to use for development. In the rules file, each device manufacturer is identified by a unique vendor ID, as specified by the ATTR{idVendor} property. For a list of vendor IDs, click here. To set up device detection on Ubuntu Linux:

1. Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
2. Use this format to add each vendor to the file:
   SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
   In this example, the vendor ID is for HTC. The MODE assignment specifies read/write permissions, and GROUP defines which Unix group owns the device node.
3. Now execute: chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Note: The rule syntax may vary slightly depending on your environment. Consult the udev documentation for your system as needed. For an overview of rule syntax, see this guide to writing udev rules.

---

5. Run the project with your connected device.

With Eclipse/ADT: run or debug your application as usual. You will be presented with a Device Chooser dialog that lists the available emulator(s) and connected device(s).

With ADB: issue commands with the -d flag to target your connected device.

Dealing with multiple Python versions and PIP?

for example, if you set other versions (e.g. 3.5) as default and want to install pip for python 2.7:

1. download pip at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip (tar)
2. unzip tar file
3. cd to the file’s directory
4. sudo python2.7 setup.py install

Best way to check if a drop down list contains a value?

What is the difference between "INNER JOIN" and "OUTER JOIN"?

I don't see much details about performance and optimizer in the other answers.

Sometimes it is good to know that only INNER JOIN is associative which means the optimizer has the most option to play with it. It can reorder the join order to make it faster keeping the same result. The optimizer can use the most join modes.

Generally it is a good practice to try to use INNER JOIN instead of the different kind of joins. (Of course if it is possible considering the expected result set.)

There are a couple of good examples and explanation here about this strange associative behavior:

• Are left outer joins associative?
• Does the join order matter in SQL?

Get resultset from oracle stored procedure

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP_Invoices(p_nameClient IN CHAR)
AS
BEGIN       
    FOR c_invoice IN 
    (
       SELECT CodeInvoice, NameClient FROM Invoice
       WHERE NameClient = p_nameClient
    )
    LOOP
        dbms_output.put_line('Code Invoice: ' || c_invoice.CodeInvoice);
        dbms_output.put_line('Name Client : ' ||  c_invoice.NameClient );
    END LOOP;
END;

Executing in SQL Developer:

BEGIN
    SP_Invoices('Perico de los palotes');
END;
-- Or:
EXEC SP_Invoices('Perico de los palotes');

Output:

> Code Invoice: 1 
> Name Client : Perico de los palotes
> Code Invoice: 2 
> Name Client : Perico de los palotes

Still getting warning : Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'

I have tried changing the google gms services to the latest com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1 in Android Studio 3.0.1 but the warning still persists.

As recommended by the compiler,I changed all compile dependencies to implementation and testCompile to testImplementation like this..

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
}

And finally the warning is removed!

Alternative to file_get_contents?

If the file is local as your comment about SITE_PATH suggest, it's pretty simple just execute the script and cache the result in a variable using the output control functions :

function print_xml_data_file()
{
    include(XML_DATA_FILE_DIRECTORY . 'cms/data.php');
}

function get_xml_data()
{
    ob_start();
    print_xml_data_file();
    $xml_file = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $xml_file;
}

If it's remote as lot of others said curl is the way to go. If it isn't present try socket_create or fsockopen. If nothing work... change your hosting provider.

Polymorphism: Why use "List list = new ArrayList" instead of "ArrayList list = new ArrayList"?

I use that construction whenever I don't want to add complexity to the problem. It's just a list, no need to say what kind of List it is, as it doesn't matter to the problem. I often use Collection for most of my solutions, as, in the end, most of the times, for the rest of the software, what really matters is the content it holds, and I don't want to add new objects to the Collection.

Futhermore, you use that construction when you think that you may want to change the implemenation of list you are using. Let's say you were using the construction with an ArrayList, and your problem wasn't thread safe. Now, you want to make it thread safe, and for part of your solution, you change to use a Vector, for example. As for the other uses of that list won't matter if it's a AraryList or a Vector, just a List, no new modifications will be needed.

How to delete all files and folders in a folder by cmd call

Yes! Use Powershell:

powershell -Command "Remove-Item 'c:\destination\*' -Recurse -Force"

Use of for_each on map elements

It's unfortunate that you don't have Boost however if your STL implementation has the extensions then you can compose mem_fun_ref and select2nd to create a single functor suitable for use with for_each. The code would look something like this:

#include <algorithm>
#include <map>
#include <ext/functional>   // GNU-specific extension for functor classes missing from standard STL

using namespace __gnu_cxx;  // for compose1 and select2nd

class MyClass
{
public:
    void Method() const;
};

std::map<int, MyClass> Map;

int main(void)
{
    std::for_each(Map.begin(), Map.end(), compose1(std::mem_fun_ref(&MyClass::Method), select2nd<std::map<int, MyClass>::value_type>()));
}

Note that if you don't have access to compose1 (or the unary_compose template) and select2nd, they are fairly easy to write.

How to prettyprint a JSON file?

I had a similar requirement to dump the contents of json file for logging, something quick and easy:

print(json.dumps(json.load(open(os.path.join('<myPath>', '<myjson>'), "r")), indent = 4 ))

if you use it often then put it in a function:

def pp_json_file(path, file):
    print(json.dumps(json.load(open(os.path.join(path, file), "r")), indent = 4))

How can I format a number into a string with leading zeros?

If you like to keep it fixed width, for example 10 digits, do it like this

Key = i.ToString("0000000000");

Replace with as many digits as you like.

i = 123 will then result in Key = "0000000123".

What does ECU units, CPU core and memory mean when I launch a instance

ECU = EC2 Compute Unit. More from here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_is_an_EC2_Compute_Unit_and_why_did_you_introduce_it

Amazon EC2 uses a variety of measures to provide each instance with a consistent and predictable amount of CPU capacity. In order to make it easy for developers to compare CPU capacity between different instance types, we have defined an Amazon EC2 Compute Unit. The amount of CPU that is allocated to a particular instance is expressed in terms of these EC2 Compute Units. We use several benchmarks and tests to manage the consistency and predictability of the performance from an EC2 Compute Unit. One EC2 Compute Unit provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor. This is also the equivalent to an early-2006 1.7 GHz Xeon processor referenced in our original documentation. Over time, we may add or substitute measures that go into the definition of an EC2 Compute Unit, if we find metrics that will give you a clearer picture of compute capacity.

mysql datatype for telephone number and address

If storing less then 1 mil records, and high performance is not an issue go for varchar(20)/char(20) otherwise I've found that for storing even 100 milion global business phones or personal phones, int is best. Reason : smaller key -> higher read/write speed, also formatting can allow for duplicates.

1 phone in char(20) = 20 bytes vs 8 bytes bigint (or 10 vs 4 bytes int for local phones, up to 9 digits) , less entries can enter the index block => more blocks => more searches, see this for more info (writen for Mysql but it should be true for other Relational Databases).

Here is an example of phone tables:

CREATE TABLE `phoneNrs` (   
    `internationalTelNr` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'full number, no leading 00 or +, up to 19 digits, E164 format',
    `format` varchar(40) NOT NULL COMMENT 'ex: (+NN) NNN NNN NNN, optional',
    PRIMARY KEY (`internationalTelNr`)
    )
DEFAULT CHARSET=ascii
DEFAULT COLLATE=ascii_bin

or with processing/splitting before insert (2+2+4+1 = 9 bytes)

CREATE TABLE `phoneNrs` (   
    `countryPrefix` SMALLINT unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'countryCode with no leading 00 or +, up to 4 digits',
    `countyPrefix` SMALLINT unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'countyCode with no leading 0, could be missing for short number format, up to 4 digits',
    `localTelNr` int unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'local number, up to 9 digits',
    `localLeadingZeros` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'used to reconstruct leading 0, IF(localLeadingZeros>0;LPAD(localTelNr,localLeadingZeros+LENGTH(localTelNr),'0');localTelNr)',
    PRIMARY KEY (`countryPrefix`,`countyPrefix`,`localLeadingZeros`,`localTelNr`)  -- ordered for fast inserts
) 
DEFAULT CHARSET=ascii
DEFAULT COLLATE=ascii_bin
;

Also "the phone number is not a number", in my opinion is relative to the type of phone numbers. If we're talking of an internal mobile phoneBook, then strings are fine, as the user may wish to store GSM Hash Codes. If storing E164 phones, bigint is the best option.

How to resolve "Input string was not in a correct format." error?

The problem is with line

imageWidth = 1 * Convert.ToInt32(Label1.Text);

Label1.Text may or may not be int. Check.

Use Int32.TryParse(value, out number) instead. That will solve your problem.

int imageWidth;
if(Int32.TryParse(Label1.Text, out imageWidth))
{
    Image1.Width= imageWidth;
}

Converting byte array to String (Java)

The byte array contains characters in a special encoding (that you should know). The way to convert it to a String is:

String decoded = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");  // example for one encoding type

By The Way - the raw bytes appear may appear as negative decimals just because the java datatype byte is signed, it covers the range from -128 to 127.

---

-109 = 0x93: Control Code "Set Transmit State"

The value (-109) is a non-printable control character in UNICODE. So UTF-8 is not the correct encoding for that character stream.

0x93 in "Windows-1252" is the "smart quote" that you're looking for, so the Java name of that encoding is "Cp1252". The next line provides a test code:

System.out.println(new String(new byte[]{-109}, "Cp1252")); 

How to animate GIFs in HTML document?

Agreed with Yuri Tkachenko's answer.

I wanna point this out.

It's a pretty specific scenario. BUT it happens.

When you copy a gif before its loaded fully in some site like google images. it just gives the preview image address of that gif. Which is clearly not a gif.

So, make sure it ends with .gif extension

how to add picasso library in android studio

Add this to your dependencies in build.gradle:

dependencies {
 implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
  ...

The latest version can be found here

Make sure you are connected to the Internet. When you sync Gradle, all related files will be added to your project

Take a look at your libraries folder, the library you just added should be in there.

C++ Pass A String

You can write your function to take a const std::string&:

void print(const std::string& input)
{
    cout << input << endl;
}

or a const char*:

void print(const char* input)
{
    cout << input << endl;
}

Both ways allow you to call it like this:

print("Hello World!\n"); // A temporary is made
std::string someString = //...
print(someString); // No temporary is made

The second version does require c_str() to be called for std::strings:

print("Hello World!\n"); // No temporary is made
std::string someString = //...
print(someString.c_str()); // No temporary is made

Lazy Loading vs Eager Loading

Eager Loading: Eager Loading helps you to load all your needed entities at once. i.e. related objects (child objects) are loaded automatically with its parent object.

When to use:

1. Use Eager Loading when the relations are not too much. Thus, Eager Loading is a good practice to reduce further queries on the Server.
2. Use Eager Loading when you are sure that you will be using related entities with the main entity everywhere.

Lazy Loading: In case of lazy loading, related objects (child objects) are not loaded automatically with its parent object until they are requested. By default LINQ supports lazy loading.

When to use:

1. Use Lazy Loading when you are using one-to-many collections.
2. Use Lazy Loading when you are sure that you are not using related entities instantly.

NOTE: Entity Framework supports three ways to load related data - eager loading, lazy loading and explicit loading.

Typescript: How to define type for a function callback (as any function type, not universal any) used in a method parameter

Typescript: How to define type for a function callback used in a method parameter?

You can declare the callback as 1) function property or 2) method:

interface ParamFnProp {
    callback: (a: Animal) => void; // function property
}

interface ParamMethod {
    callback(a: Animal): void; // method
}

There is an important typing difference since TS 2.6:

You get stronger ("sound") types in --strict or --strictFunctionTypes mode, when a function property is declared. Let's take an example:

const animalCallback = (a: Animal): void => { } // Animal is the base type for Dog
const dogCallback = (d: Dog): void => { } 

// function property variant
const param11: ParamFnProp = { callback: dogCallback } // error: not assignable
const param12: ParamFnProp = { callback: animalCallback } // works

// method variant
const param2: ParamMethod = { callback: dogCallback } // now it works again ...

Technically spoken, methods are bivariant and function properties contravariant in their arguments under strictFunctionTypes. Methods are still checked more permissively (even if not sound) to be a bit more practical in combination with built-in types like Array.

Summary

• There is a type difference between function property and method declaration
• Choose a function property for stronger types, if possible

Getting the parent of a directory in Bash

Motivation for another answer

I like very short, clear, guaranteed code. Bonus point if it does not run an external program, since the day you need to process a huge number of entries, it will be noticeably faster.

Principle

Not sure about what guarantees you have and want, so offering anyway.

If you have guarantees you can do it with very short code. The idea is to use bash text substitution feature to cut the last slash and whatever follows.

Answer from simple to more complex cases of the original question.

If path is guaranteed to end without any slash (in and out)

P=/home/smith/Desktop/Test ; echo "${P%/*}"
/home/smith/Desktop

If path is guaranteed to end with exactly one slash (in and out)

P=/home/smith/Desktop/Test/ ; echo "${P%/*/}/"
/home/smith/Desktop/

If input path may end with zero or one slash (not more) and you want output path to end without slash

for P in \
    /home/smith/Desktop/Test \
    /home/smith/Desktop/Test/
do
    P_ENDNOSLASH="${P%/}" ; echo "${P_ENDNOSLASH%/*}"
done

/home/smith/Desktop
/home/smith/Desktop

If input path may have many extraneous slashes and you want output path to end without slash

for P in \
    /home/smith/Desktop/Test \
    /home/smith/Desktop/Test/ \
    /home/smith///Desktop////Test// 
do
    P_NODUPSLASH="${P//\/*(\/)/\/}"
    P_ENDNOSLASH="${P_NODUPSLASH%%/}"
    echo "${P_ENDNOSLASH%/*}";   
done

/home/smith/Desktop
/home/smith/Desktop
/home/smith/Desktop

How to substitute shell variables in complex text files

Actually you need to change your read to read -r which will make it ignore backslashes.

Also, you should escape quotes and backslashes. So

while read -r line; do
  line="${line//\\/\\\\}"
  line="${line//\"/\\\"}"
  line="${line//\`/\\\`}"
  eval echo "\"$line\""
done > destination.txt < source.txt

Still a terrible way to do expansion though.

How to count duplicate rows in pandas dataframe?

If you like to count duplicates on particular column(s):

len(df['one'])-len(df['one'].drop_duplicates())

If you want to count duplicates on entire dataframe:

len(df)-len(df.drop_duplicates())

Or simply you can use DataFrame.duplicated(subset=None, keep='first'):

df.duplicated(subset='one', keep='first').sum()

where

subset : column label or sequence of labels(by default use all of the columns)

keep : {‘first’, ‘last’, False}, default ‘first’

• first : Mark duplicates as True except for the first occurrence.
• last : Mark duplicates as True except for the last occurrence.
• False : Mark all duplicates as True.

this in equals method

this refers to the current instance of the class (object) your equals-method belongs to. When you test this against an object, the testing method (which is equals(Object obj) in your case) will check wether or not the object is equal to the current instance (referred to as this).

An example:

Object obj = this; this.equals(obj); //true   Object obj = this; new Object().equals(obj); //false 

Finding child element of parent pure javascript

The children property returns an array of elements, like so:

parent = document.querySelector('.parent');
children = parent.children; // [<div class="child1">]

There are alternatives to querySelector, like document.getElementsByClassName('parent')[0] if you so desire.

---

Edit: Now that I think about it, you could just use querySelectorAll to get decendents of parent having a class name of child1:

children = document.querySelectorAll('.parent .child1');

The difference between qS and qSA is that the latter returns all elements matching the selector, while the former only returns the first such element.

List columns with indexes in PostgreSQL

# \di

The easies and shortest way is \di, which will list all the indexes in the current database.

$ \di
                      List of relations
 Schema |            Name             | Type  |  Owner   |     Table     
--------+-----------------------------+-------+----------+---------------
 public | part_delivery_index         | index | shipper  | part_delivery
 public | part_delivery_pkey          | index | shipper  | part_delivery
 public | shipment_by_mandator        | index | shipper  | shipment_info
 public | shipment_by_number_and_size | index | shipper  | shipment_info
 public | shipment_info_pkey          | index | shipper  | shipment_info
(5 rows)

\di is the "small brother" of the \d command which will list all relations of the current database. Thus \di certainly stand for "show me this databases indexes".

Typing \diS will list all indexes used systemwide, which means you get all the pg_catalog indexes as well.

$ \diS
                                      List of relations
   Schema   |                   Name                    | Type  |  Owner   |          Table
------------+-------------------------------------------+-------+----------+-------------------------
 pg_catalog | pg_aggregate_fnoid_index                  | index | postgres | pg_aggregate
 pg_catalog | pg_am_name_index                          | index | postgres | pg_am
 pg_catalog | pg_am_oid_index                           | index | postgres | pg_am
 pg_catalog | pg_amop_fam_strat_index                   | index | postgres | pg_amop
 pg_catalog | pg_amop_oid_index                         | index | postgres | pg_amop
 pg_catalog | pg_amop_opr_fam_index                     | index | postgres | pg_amop
 pg_catalog | pg_amproc_fam_proc_index                  | index | postgres | pg_amproc
 pg_catalog | pg_amproc_oid_index                       | index | postgres | pg_amproc
 pg_catalog | pg_attrdef_adrelid_adnum_index            | index | postgres | pg_attrdef
--More-- 

With both these commands you can add a + after it to get even more information like the size the disk space the index needs and a description if available.

$ \di+
                                 List of relations
 Schema |            Name             | Type  |  Owner   |     Table     | Size  | Description 
--------+-----------------------------+-------+----------+---------------+-------+-------------
 public | part_delivery_index         | index | shipper  | part_delivery | 16 kB | 
 public | part_delivery_pkey          | index | shipper  | part_delivery | 16 kB | 
 public | shipment_by_mandator        | index | shipper  | shipment_info | 19 MB | 
 public | shipment_by_number_and_size | index | shipper  | shipment_info | 19 MB | 
 public | shipment_info_pkey          | index | shipper  | shipment_info | 53 MB | 
(5 rows)

In psql you can easily find help about commands typing \?.

How can I read a large text file line by line using Java?

A common pattern is to use

try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file))) {
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
       // process the line.
    }
}

You can read the data faster if you assume there is no character encoding. e.g. ASCII-7 but it won't make much difference. It is highly likely that what you do with the data will take much longer.

EDIT: A less common pattern to use which avoids the scope of line leaking.

try(BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file))) {
    for(String line; (line = br.readLine()) != null; ) {
        // process the line.
    }
    // line is not visible here.
}

---

UPDATE: In Java 8 you can do

try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Paths.get(fileName))) {
        stream.forEach(System.out::println);
}

NOTE: You have to place the Stream in a try-with-resource block to ensure the #close method is called on it, otherwise the underlying file handle is never closed until GC does it much later.

Perform commands over ssh with Python

I have used paramiko a bunch (nice) and pxssh (also nice). I would recommend either. They work a little differently but have a relatively large overlap in usage.

Html.BeginForm and adding properties

As part of htmlAttributes,e.g.

Html.BeginForm(
    action, controller, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype="multipart/form-data"})

Or you can pass null for action and controller to get the same default target as for BeginForm() without any parameters:

Html.BeginForm(
    null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype="multipart/form-data"})

Clear the form field after successful submission of php form

Here is the solution for when the for is submitted with the successful message all form fields to get cleared. for that set the values equals to false check the code below

    $full_Name = $_POST['fullName'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $phoneNumber = $_POST['phoneNumber'];
    $msg = $_POST['message'];
    // Form Validation for fullname

Play audio with Python

Sorry for the late reply, but I think this is a good place to advertise my library ...

AFAIK, the standard library has only one module for playing audio: ossaudiodev. Sadly, this only works on Linux and FreeBSD.

UPDATE: There is also winsound, but obviously this is also platform-specific.

For something more platform-independent, you'll need to use an external library.

My recommendation is the sounddevice module (but beware, I'm the author).

The package includes the pre-compiled PortAudio library for Mac OS X and Windows, and can be easily installed with:

pip install sounddevice --user

It can play back sound from NumPy arrays, but it can also use plain Python buffers (if NumPy is not available).

To play back a NumPy array, that's all you need (assuming that the audio data has a sampling frequency of 44100 Hz):

import sounddevice as sd
sd.play(myarray, 44100)

For more details, have a look at the documentation.

It cannot read/write sound files, you'll need a separate library for that.

Ruby get object keys as array

An alternative way if you need something more (besides using the keys method):

hash = {"apple" => "fruit", "carrot" => "vegetable"}
array = hash.collect {|key,value| key }

obviously you would only do that if you want to manipulate the array while retrieving it..

How to count the number of true elements in a NumPy bool array

In terms of comparing two numpy arrays and counting the number of matches (e.g. correct class prediction in machine learning), I found the below example for two dimensions useful:

import numpy as np
result = np.random.randint(3,size=(5,2)) # 5x2 random integer array
target = np.random.randint(3,size=(5,2)) # 5x2 random integer array

res = np.equal(result,target)
print result
print target
print np.sum(res[:,0])
print np.sum(res[:,1])

which can be extended to D dimensions.

The results are:

Prediction:

[[1 2]
 [2 0]
 [2 0]
 [1 2]
 [1 2]]

Target:

[[0 1]
 [1 0]
 [2 0]
 [0 0]
 [2 1]]

Count of correct prediction for D=1: 1

Count of correct prediction for D=2: 2

Example using Hyperlink in WPF

If you want to localize string later, then those answers aren't enough, I would suggest something like:

<TextBlock>
    <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://labsii.com/">
       <Hyperlink.Inlines>
            <Run Text="Click here"/>
       </Hyperlink.Inlines>
   </Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

Coding Conventions - Naming Enums

This will probably not make me a lot of new friends, but it should be added that the C# people have a different guideline: The enum instances are "Pascal case" (upper/lower case mixed). See stackoverflow discussion and MSDN Enumeration Type Naming Guidelines.

As we are exchanging data with a C# system, I am tempted to copy their enums exactly, ignoring Java's "constants have uppercase names" convention. Thinking about it, I don't see much value in being restricted to uppercase for enum instances. For some purposes .name() is a handy shortcut to get a readable representation of an enum constant and a mixed case name would look nicer.

So, yes, I dare question the value of the Java enum naming convention. The fact that "the other half of the programming world" does indeed use a different style makes me think it is legitimate to doubt our own religion.

Material effect on button with background color

v22.1 of appcompat-v7 introduced some new possibilities. Now it's possible to assign a specific theme only to one view.

Deprecated use of app:theme for styling Toolbar. You can now use android:theme for toolbars on all API level 7 and higher devices and android:theme support for all widgets on API level 11 and higher devices.

So instead of setting the desired color in a global theme, we create a new one and assign it only to the Button

Example:

<style name="MyColorButton" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorButtonNormal">@color/myColor</item>
</style>

And use this style as theme of your Button

<Button
 style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:text="Button1"
 android:theme="@style/MyColorButton"/>

Can Selenium WebDriver open browser windows silently in the background?

On Windows you can use win32gui:

import win32gui
import win32con
import subprocess

class HideFox:
    def __init__(self, exe='firefox.exe'):
        self.exe = exe
        self.get_hwnd()

    def get_hwnd(self):
      win_name = get_win_name(self.exe)
      self.hwnd = win32gui.FindWindow(0,win_name)

    def hide(self):
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_MINIMIZE)
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_HIDE)

    def show(self):
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_SHOW)
        win32gui.ShowWindow(self.hwnd, win32con.SW_MAXIMIZE)

def get_win_name(exe):
    ''' Simple function that gets the window name of the process with the given name'''
    info = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
    info.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
    raw = subprocess.check_output('tasklist /v /fo csv', startupinfo=info).split('\n')[1:-1]
    for proc in raw:
        try:
            proc = eval('[' + proc + ']')
            if proc[0] == exe:
                return proc[8]
        except:
            pass
    raise ValueError('Could not find a process with name ' + exe)

Example:

hider = HideFox('firefox.exe') # Can be anything, e.q., phantomjs.exe, notepad.exe, etc.
# To hide the window
hider.hide()
# To show again
hider.show()

However, there is one problem with this solution - using send_keys method makes the window show up. You can deal with it by using JavaScript which does not show a window:

def send_keys_without_opening_window(id_of_the_element, keys)
    YourWebdriver.execute_script("document.getElementById('" + id_of_the_element + "').value = '" + keys + "';")

Some simple ideas to get you going:

In PHP you can do it like this:

if (!array_key_exists(explode('=', explode('&', $_GET))) {
  /* add the view-all bit here */
}

In javascript:

if(!location.search.match(/view\-all=/)) {
  location.href = location.href + '&view-all=Yes';
}

Combine multiple Collections into a single logical Collection?

If you're using at least Java 8, see my other answer.

If you're already using Google Guava, see Sean Patrick Floyd's answer.

If you're stuck at Java 7 and don't want to include Google Guava, you can write your own (read-only) Iterables.concat() using no more than Iterable and Iterator:

Constant number

public static <E> Iterable<E> concat(final Iterable<? extends E> iterable1,
                                     final Iterable<? extends E> iterable2) {
    return new Iterable<E>() {
        @Override
        public Iterator<E> iterator() {
            return new Iterator<E>() {
                final Iterator<? extends E> iterator1 = iterable1.iterator();
                final Iterator<? extends E> iterator2 = iterable2.iterator();

                @Override
                public boolean hasNext() {
                    return iterator1.hasNext() || iterator2.hasNext();
                }

                @Override
                public E next() {
                    return iterator1.hasNext() ? iterator1.next() : iterator2.next();
                }
            };
        }
    };
}

Variable number

@SafeVarargs
public static <E> Iterable<E> concat(final Iterable<? extends E>... iterables) {
    return concat(Arrays.asList(iterables));
}

public static <E> Iterable<E> concat(final Iterable<Iterable<? extends E>> iterables) {
    return new Iterable<E>() {
        final Iterator<Iterable<? extends E>> iterablesIterator = iterables.iterator();

        @Override
        public Iterator<E> iterator() {
            return !iterablesIterator.hasNext() ? Collections.emptyIterator()
                                                : new Iterator<E>() {
                Iterator<? extends E> iterableIterator = nextIterator();

                @Override
                public boolean hasNext() {
                    return iterableIterator.hasNext();
                }

                @Override
                public E next() {
                    final E next = iterableIterator.next();
                    findNext();
                    return next;
                }

                Iterator<? extends E> nextIterator() {
                    return iterablesIterator.next().iterator();
                }

                Iterator<E> findNext() {
                    while (!iterableIterator.hasNext()) {
                        if (!iterablesIterator.hasNext()) {
                            break;

                    }
                    return this;
                }

How to position the form in the center screen?

Simply set location relative to null after calling pack on the JFrame, that's it.

e.g.,

  JFrame frame = new JFrame("FooRendererTest");
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel); // or whatever...
  frame.pack();
  frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);  // *** this will center your app ***
  frame.setVisible(true);

Rendering JSON in controller

For the instance of

render :json => @projects, :include => :tasks

You are stating that you want to render @projects as JSON, and include the association tasks on the Project model in the exported data.

For the instance of

render :json => @projects, :callback => 'updateRecordDisplay'

You are stating that you want to render @projects as JSON, and wrap that data in a javascript call that will render somewhat like:

updateRecordDisplay({'projects' => []})

This allows the data to be sent to the parent window and bypass cross-site forgery issues.

Efficiently replace all accented characters in a string?

I made a Prototype Version of this:

    "Ä":"A", "Ö":"O", "Ü":"U",
    " ":"_", "ß":"ss"   // probably more to come
  };
    return (this.replace(translate_re, function(match){
        return translate[match];})
    );
};

Use like:

var teststring = 'ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü ß';
teststring.strip();

This will will change the String to a_o_u_A_O_U_ss

How can I recognize touch events using jQuery in Safari for iPad? Is it possible?

You can use .on() to capture multiple events and then test for touch on the screen, e.g.:

$('#selector')
.on('touchstart mousedown', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  var touch = e.touches[0];
  if(touch){
    // Do some stuff
  }
  else {
    // Do some other stuff
  }
});

python: order a list of numbers without built-in sort, min, max function

You could do it easily by using min() function

`def asc(a):
    b=[]
    l=len(a)
    for i in range(l):
        x=min(a)
        b.append(x)
        a.remove(x)
    return b
 print asc([2,5,8,7,44,54,23])`

Python extract pattern matches

You can use groups (indicated with '(' and ')') to capture parts of the string. The match object's group() method then gives you the group's contents:

>>> import re
>>> s = 'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match = re.search('name (.*) is valid', s)
>>> match.group(0)  # the entire match
'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match.group(1)  # the first parenthesized subgroup
'my_user_name'

In Python 3.6+ you can also index into a match object instead of using group():

>>> match[0]  # the entire match 
'name my_user_name is valid'
>>> match[1]  # the first parenthesized subgroup
'my_user_name'

Getting a map() to return a list in Python 3.x

Why aren't you doing this:

[chr(x) for x in [66,53,0,94]]

It's called a list comprehension. You can find plenty of information on Google, but here's the link to the Python (2.6) documentation on list comprehensions. You might be more interested in the Python 3 documenation, though.

What's the difference between git clone --mirror and git clone --bare

My tests with git-2.0.0 today indicate that the --mirror option does not copy hooks, the config file, the description file, the info/exclude file, and at least in my test case a few refs (which I don't understand.) I would not call it a "functionally identical copy, interchangeable with the original."

How to add Date Picker Bootstrap 3 on MVC 5 project using the Razor engine?

I hope this can help someone who was faced with my same problem.

This answer uses the Bootstrap DatePicker Plugin, which is not native to bootstrap.

Make sure you install Bootstrap DatePicker through NuGet

Create a small piece of JavaScript and name it DatePickerReady.js save it in Scripts dir. This will make sure it works even in non HTML5 browsers although those are few nowadays.

if (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date) {
    $(function () {

       $(".datecontrol").datepicker();

    });
}

Set the bundles

bundles.Add(New ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include(
              "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
              "~/Scripts/bootstrap-datepicker.js",
              "~/Scripts/DatePickerReady.js",
              "~/Scripts/respond.js"))

bundles.Add(New StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
              "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
              "~/Content/bootstrap-datepicker3.css",
              "~/Content/site.css"))

Now set the Datatype so that when EditorFor is used MVC will identify what is to be used.

<Required>
<DataType(DataType.Date)>
Public Property DOB As DateTime? = Nothing

Your view code should be

@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.DOB, New With {.htmlAttributes = New With {.class = "form-control datecontrol", .PlaceHolder = "Enter Date of Birth"}})

and voila

How to get attribute of element from Selenium?

You are probably looking for get_attribute(). An example is shown here as well

def test_chart_renders_from_url(self):
    url = 'http://localhost:8000/analyse/'
    self.browser.get(url)
    org = driver.find_element_by_id('org')
    # Find the value of org?
    val = org.get_attribute("attribute name")

Get Context in a Service

1. Service extends ContextWrapper
2. ContextWrapper extends Context

So....

Context context = this;

(in Service or Activity Class)

Correct way to use StringBuilder in SQL

When you already have all the "pieces" you wish to append, there is no point in using StringBuilder at all. Using StringBuilder and string concatenation in the same call as per your sample code is even worse.

This would be better:

return "select id1, " + " id2 " + " from " + " table";

In this case, the string concatenation is actually happening at compile-time anyway, so it's equivalent to the even-simpler:

return "select id1, id2 from table";

Using new StringBuilder().append("select id1, ").append(" id2 ")....toString() will actually hinder performance in this case, because it forces the concatenation to be performed at execution time, instead of at compile time. Oops.

If the real code is building a SQL query by including values in the query, then that's another separate issue, which is that you should be using parameterized queries, specifying the values in the parameters rather than in the SQL.

I have an article on String / StringBuffer which I wrote a while ago - before StringBuilder came along. The principles apply to StringBuilder in the same way though.

Token based authentication in Web API without any user interface

ASP.Net Web API has Authorization Server build-in already. You can see it inside Startup.cs when you create a new ASP.Net Web Application with Web API template.

OAuthOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
{
    TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/Token"),
    Provider = new ApplicationOAuthProvider(PublicClientId),
    AuthorizeEndpointPath = new PathString("/api/Account/ExternalLogin"),
    AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(14),
    // In production mode set AllowInsecureHttp = false
    AllowInsecureHttp = true
};

All you have to do is to post URL encoded username and password inside query string.

/Token/userName=johndoe%40example.com&password=1234&grant_type=password

If you want to know more detail, you can watch User Registration and Login - Angular Front to Back with Web API by Deborah Kurata.

How can I open a Shell inside a Vim Window?

Not absolutely what you are asking for, but you may be interested by my plugin vim-notebook which allows the user to keep a background process alive and to make it evaluate part of the current document (and to write the output in the document). It is intended to be used on notebook-style documents containing pieces of code to be evaluated.

Android Google Maps API V2 Zoom to Current Location

try this code :

private GoogleMap mMap;


LocationManager locationManager;


private static final String TAG = "";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

    arrayPoints = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {


    mMap = googleMap;


    mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);


    LatLng myPosition;


    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // TODO: Consider calling

        // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
        // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
        return;
    }
    googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);


    if (location != null) {
        double latitude = location.getLatitude();
        double longitude = location.getLongitude();
        LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
        myPosition = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);


        LatLng coordinate = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
        CameraUpdate yourLocation = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(coordinate, 19);
        mMap.animateCamera(yourLocation);
    }
}

}

Dont forget to add permissions on AndroidManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

How to execute .sql script file using JDBC

I had the same problem trying to execute an SQL script that creates an SQL database. Googling here and there I found a Java class initially written by Clinton Begin which supports comments (see http://pastebin.com/P14HsYAG). I modified slightly the file to cater for triggers where one has to change the default DELIMITER to something different. I've used that version ScriptRunner (see http://pastebin.com/sb4bMbVv). Since an (open source and free) SQLScriptRunner class is an absolutely necessary utility, it would be good to have some more input from developers and hopefully we'll have soon a more stable version of it.

PHP errors NOT being displayed in the browser [Ubuntu 10.10]

To make it work you should change the following variables in your php.ini:

; display_errors
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off

; display_startup_errors
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off

; error_reporting
; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
; Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT 
; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

; html_errors 
; Default Value: On 
; Development Value: On 
; Production value: Off

; log_errors
; Default Value: On 
; Development Value: On 
; Production Value: On

Search for them as they are already defined and put your desired value. Then restart your apache2 server and everything will work fine. Good luck!

Ruby function to remove all white spaces?

Use gsub or delete. The difference is gsub could remove tabs, while delete cannot. Sometimes you do have tabs in files which are added by the editors.

a = "\tI have some whitespaces.\t"
a.gsub!(/\s/, '')  #=>  "Ihavesomewhitespaces."
a.gsub!(/ /, '')   #=>  "\tIhavesomewhitespaces.\t"
a.delete!(" ")     #=>  "\tIhavesomewhitespaces.\t"
a.delete!("/\s/")  #=>  "\tIhavesomewhitespaces.\t"
a.delete!('/\s/')  #=>  using single quote is unexpected, and you'll get "\tI have ome whitepace.\t"

DLL References in Visual C++

The additional include directories are relative to the project dir. This is normally the dir where your project file, *.vcproj, is located. I guess that in your case you have to add just "include" to your include and library directories.

If you want to be sure what your project dir is, you can check the value of the $(ProjectDir) macro. To do that go to "C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories", press the "..." button and in the pop-up dialog press "Macros>>".

Iterating through a range of dates in Python

import datetime

def daterange(start, stop, step=datetime.timedelta(days=1), inclusive=False):
  # inclusive=False to behave like range by default
  if step.days > 0:
    while start < stop:
      yield start
      start = start + step
      # not +=! don't modify object passed in if it's mutable
      # since this function is not restricted to
      # only types from datetime module
  elif step.days < 0:
    while start > stop:
      yield start
      start = start + step
  if inclusive and start == stop:
    yield start

# ...

for date in daterange(start_date, end_date, inclusive=True):
  print strftime("%Y-%m-%d", date.timetuple())

This function does more than you strictly require, by supporting negative step, etc. As long as you factor out your range logic, then you don't need the separate day_count and most importantly the code becomes easier to read as you call the function from multiple places.

Correct way to select from two tables in SQL Server with no common field to join on

A suggestion - when using cross join please take care of the duplicate scenarios. For example in your case:

• Table 1 may have >1 columns as part of primary keys(say table1_id, id2, id3, table2_id)
• Table 2 may have >1 columns as part of primary keys(say table2_id, id3, id4)

since there are common keys between these two tables (i.e. foreign keys in one/other) - we will end up with duplicate results. hence using the following form is good:

WITH data_mined_table (col1, col2, col3, etc....) AS
SELECT DISTINCT col1, col2, col3, blabla
FROM table_1 (NOLOCK), table_2(NOLOCK))
SELECT * from data_mined WHERE data_mined_table.col1 = :my_param_value

PL/pgSQL checking if a row exists

Simpler, shorter, faster: EXISTS.

IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM people p WHERE p.person_id = my_person_id) THEN
  -- do something
END IF;

The query planner can stop at the first row found - as opposed to count(), which will scan all matching rows regardless. Makes a difference with big tables. Hardly matters with a condition on a unique column - only one row qualifies anyway (and there is an index to look it up quickly).

^{Improved with input from @a_horse_with_no_name in the comments below.}

You could even use an empty SELECT list:

IF EXISTS (SELECT FROM people p WHERE p.person_id = my_person_id) THEN ...

Since the SELECT list is not relevant to the outcome of EXISTS. Only the existence of at least one qualifying row matters.

PowerShell script to check the status of a URL

You can try this:

    }
    catch [Net.WebException]

    }
}

$statusCode = Get-UrlStatusCode 'httpstat.us/500'

Redirect echo output in shell script to logfile

exec 2>&1

echo "Log Location should be: [ $LOG_LOCATION ]"

How do I tell what type of value is in a Perl variable?

I like polymorphism instead of manually checking for something:

use MooseX::Declare;

class Foo {
    use MooseX::MultiMethods;

    multi method foo (ArrayRef $arg){ say "arg is an array" }
    multi method foo (HashRef $arg) { say "arg is a hash" }
    multi method foo (Any $arg)     { say "arg is something else" }
}

Foo->new->foo([]); # arg is an array
Foo->new->foo(40); # arg is something else

This is much more powerful than manual checking, as you can reuse your "checks" like you would any other type constraint. That means when you want to handle arrays, hashes, and even numbers less than 42, you just write a constraint for "even numbers less than 42" and add a new multimethod for that case. The "calling code" is not affected.

Your type library:

package MyApp::Types;
use MooseX::Types -declare => ['EvenNumberLessThan42'];
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Num);

subtype EvenNumberLessThan42, as Num, where { $_ < 42 && $_ % 2 == 0 };

Then make Foo support this (in that class definition):

class Foo {
    use MyApp::Types qw(EvenNumberLessThan42);

    multi method foo (EvenNumberLessThan42 $arg) { say "arg is an even number less than 42" }
}

Then Foo->new->foo(40) prints arg is an even number less than 42 instead of arg is something else.

Maintainable.

Converting a sentence string to a string array of words in Java

I already did post this answer somewhere, i will do it here again. This version doesn't use any major inbuilt method. You got the char array, convert it into a String. Hope it helps!

import java.util.Scanner;

public class SentenceToWord 
{
    public static int getNumberOfWords(String sentence)
    {
        int counter=0;
        for(int i=0;i<sentence.length();i++)
        {
            if(sentence.charAt(i)==' ')
            counter++;
        }
        return counter+1;
    }

    public static char[] getSubString(String sentence,int start,int end) //method to give substring, replacement of String.substring() 
    {
        int counter=0;
        char charArrayToReturn[]=new char[end-start];
        for(int i=start;i<end;i++)
        {

            {
            wordsArray[wordsCounter++]=getSubString(sentence, spaceIndex,i+1); //get each word as substring
            spaceIndex=i+1; //increment space index
            }
        }
        return  wordsArray; //return the 2 dimensional char array
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
    System.out.println("Please enter the String");
    Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
    String userInput=input.nextLine().trim();
    int numOfWords=getNumberOfWords(userInput);
    char words[][]=new char[numOfWords+1][];
    words=getWordsFromString(userInput);
    System.out.println("Total number of words found in the String is "+(numOfWords));
    for(int i=0;i<numOfWords;i++)
    {
        System.out.println(" ");
        for(int j=0;j<words[i].length;j++)
        {
        System.out.print(words[i][j]);//print out each char one by one
        }
    }
    }

}

window.onload vs <body onload=""/>

There is no difference, but you should not use either.

In many browsers, the window.onload event is not triggered until all images have loaded, which is not what you want. Standards based browsers have an event called DOMContentLoaded which fires earlier, but it is not supported by IE (at the time of writing this answer). I'd recommend using a javascript library which supports a cross browser DOMContentLoaded feature, or finding a well written function you can use. jQuery's $(document).ready(), is a good example.

pandas loc vs. iloc vs. at vs. iat?

Updated for pandas 0.20 given that ix is deprecated. This demonstrates not only how to use loc, iloc, at, iat, set_value, but how to accomplish, mixed positional/label based indexing.

---

loc - label based
Allows you to pass 1-D arrays as indexers. Arrays can be either slices (subsets) of the index or column, or they can be boolean arrays which are equal in length to the index or columns.

Special Note: when a scalar indexer is passed, loc can assign a new index or column value that didn't exist before.

# label based, but we can use position values
# to get the labels from the index object
df.loc[df.index[2], 'ColName'] = 3

---

df.loc[df.index[1:3], 'ColName'] = 3

---

iloc - position based
Similar to loc except with positions rather that index values. However, you cannot assign new columns or indices.

# position based, but we can get the position
# from the columns object via the `get_loc` method
df.iloc[2, df.columns.get_loc('ColName')] = 3

---

df.iloc[2, 4] = 3

---

df.iloc[:3, 2:4] = 3

---

at - label based
Works very similar to loc for scalar indexers. Cannot operate on array indexers. Can! assign new indices and columns.

Advantage over loc is that this is faster.
Disadvantage is that you can't use arrays for indexers.

# label based, but we can use position values
# to get the labels from the index object
df.at[df.index[2], 'ColName'] = 3

---

df.at['C', 'ColName'] = 3

---

iat - position based
Works similarly to iloc. Cannot work in array indexers. Cannot! assign new indices and columns.

Advantage over iloc is that this is faster.
Disadvantage is that you can't use arrays for indexers.

# position based, but we can get the position
# from the columns object via the `get_loc` method
IBM.iat[2, IBM.columns.get_loc('PNL')] = 3

---

set_value - label based
Works very similar to loc for scalar indexers. Cannot operate on array indexers. Can! assign new indices and columns

Advantage Super fast, because there is very little overhead!
Disadvantage There is very little overhead because pandas is not doing a bunch of safety checks. Use at your own risk. Also, this is not intended for public use.

# label based, but we can use position values

How often does python flush to a file?

For file operations, Python uses the operating system's default buffering unless you configure it do otherwise. You can specify a buffer size, unbuffered, or line buffered.

For example, the open function takes a buffer size argument.

http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#open

"The optional buffering argument specifies the file’s desired buffer size:"

• 0 means unbuffered,
• 1 means line buffered,
• any other positive value means use a buffer of (approximately) that size.
• A negative buffering means to use the system default, which is usually line buffered for tty devices and fully buffered for other files.
• If omitted, the system default is used.

code:

bufsize = 0
f = open('file.txt', 'w', buffering=bufsize)

Map and Reduce in .NET

Since I never can remember that LINQ calls it Where, Select and Aggregate instead of Filter, Map and Reduce so I created a few extension methods you can use:

IEnumerable<string> myStrings = new List<string>() { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" };
IEnumerable<int> convertedToInts = myStrings.Map(s => int.Parse(s));
IEnumerable<int> filteredInts = convertedToInts.Filter(i => i <= 3); // Keep 1,2,3
int sumOfAllInts = filteredInts.Reduce((sum, i) => sum + i); // Sum up all ints
Assert.Equal(6, sumOfAllInts); // 1+2+3 is 6

Here are the 3 methods (from https://github.com/cs-util-com/cscore/blob/master/CsCore/PlainNetClassLib/src/Plugins/CsCore/com/csutil/collections/IEnumerableExtensions.cs ):

public static IEnumerable<R> Map<T, R>(this IEnumerable<T> self, Func<T, R> selector) {
    return self.Select(selector);
}

public static T Reduce<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, Func<T, T, T> func) {
    return self.Aggregate(func);
}

public static IEnumerable<T> Filter<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, Func<T, bool> predicate) {
    return self.Where(predicate);
}

How should I declare default values for instance variables in Python?

The two snippets do different things, so it's not a matter of taste but a matter of what's the right behaviour in your context. Python documentation explains the difference, but here are some examples:

Exhibit A

class Foo:
  def __init__(self):
    self.num = 1

This binds num to the Foo instances. Change to this field is not propagated to other instances.

Thus:

>>> foo1 = Foo()
>>> foo2 = Foo()
>>> foo1.num = 2
>>> foo2.num
1

Exhibit B

class Bar:
  num = 1

This binds num to the Bar class. Changes are propagated!

>>> bar1 = Bar()
>>> bar2 = Bar()
>>> bar1.num = 2 #this creates an INSTANCE variable that HIDES the propagation
>>> bar2.num
1
>>> Bar.num = 3
>>> bar2.num
3
>>> bar1.num
2
>>> bar1.__class__.num
3

Actual answer

If I do not require a class variable, but only need to set a default value for my instance variables, are both methods equally good? Or one of them more 'pythonic' than the other?

The code in exhibit B is plain wrong for this: why would you want to bind a class attribute (default value on instance creation) to the single instance?

The code in exhibit A is okay.

If you want to give defaults for instance variables in your constructor I would however do this:

class Foo:
  def __init__(self, num = None):
    self.num = num if num is not None else 1

...or even:

class Foo:
  DEFAULT_NUM = 1
  def __init__(self, num = None):
    self.num = num if num is not None else DEFAULT_NUM

...or even: (preferrable, but if and only if you are dealing with immutable types!)

class Foo:
  def __init__(self, num = 1):
    self.num = num

This way you can do:

foo1 = Foo(4)
foo2 = Foo() #use default

Set cookie and get cookie with JavaScript

Check JavaScript Cookies on W3Schools.com for setting and getting cookie values via JS.

Just use the setCookie and getCookie methods mentioned there.

So, the code will look something like:

<script>
function setCookie(c_name, value, exdays) {
    var exdate = new Date();
    exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
    var c_value = escape(value) + ((exdays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
    document.cookie = c_name + "=" + c_value;
}

function getCookie(c_name) {
    var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
    for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {
        x = ARRcookies[i].substr(0, ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
        y = ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=") + 1);
        x = x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "");
        if (x == c_name) {
            return unescape(y);
        }
    }
}

function cssSelected() {
    var cssSelected = $('#myList')[0].value;
    if (cssSelected !== "select") {
        setCookie("selectedCSS", cssSelected, 3);
    }
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myList')[0].value = getCookie("selectedCSS");
})
</script>
<select id="myList" onchange="cssSelected();">
    <option value="select">--Select--</option>
    <option value="style-1.css">CSS1</option>
    <option value="style-2.css">CSS2</option>
    <option value="style-3.css">CSS3</option>
    <option value="style-4.css">CSS4</option>
</select>

SVN repository backup strategies

For hosted repositories you can since svn version 1.7 use svnrdump, which is analogous to svnadmin dump for local repositories. This article provides a nice walk-through, which essentially boils down to:

svnrdump dump /URL/to/remote/repository > myRepository.dump

After you have downloaded the dump file you can import it locally

svnadmin load /path/to/local/repository < myRepository.dump

or upload it to the host of your choice.

I forgot the password I entered during postgres installation

This is what worked for me on windows:

Edit the pg_hba.conf file locates at C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\data.

# IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust

Change the method from trust to md5 and restart the postgres service on windows.

After that, you can login using postgres user without password by using pgadmin. You can change password using File->Change password.

If postgres user does not have superuser privileges , then you cannot change the password. In this case , login with another user(pgsql)with superuser access and provide privileges to other users by right clicking on users and selecting properties->Role privileges.

Oracle date difference to get number of years

I'd use months_between, possibly combined with floor:

select floor(months_between(date '2012-10-10', date '2011-10-10') /12) from dual;

select floor(months_between(date '2012-10-9' , date '2011-10-10') /12) from dual;

floor makes sure you get down-rounded years. If you want the fractional parts, you obviously want to not use floor.

Generating a WSDL from an XSD file

Personally (and given what I know, i.e., Java and axis), I'd generate a Java data model from the .xsd files (Axis 2 can do this), and then add an interface to describe my web service that uses that model, and then generate a WSDL from that interface.

Because .NET has all these features as well, it must be possible to do all this in that ecosystem as well.

NameError: uninitialized constant (rails)

I had a similar error, but it was because I had created a has_one relationship and subsequently deleted the model that it had_one of. I just forgot to delete the has_one relationship from the remaining model.

C string append

I write a function support dynamic variable string append, like PHP str append: str + str + ... etc.

#include <stdio.h>

int str_append(char **json, const char *format, ...)
{
    char *str = NULL;
    char *old_json = NULL, *new_json = NULL;

    va_list arg_ptr;
    va_start(arg_ptr, format);
    vasprintf(&str, format, arg_ptr);

    // save old json
    asprintf(&old_json, "%s", (*json == NULL ? "" : *json));

    // calloc new json memory
    new_json = (char *)calloc(strlen(old_json) + strlen(str) + 1, sizeof(char));

    strcat(new_json, old_json);
    strcat(new_json, str);

    if (*json) free(*json);
    *json = new_json;

    free(old_json);
    free(str);

    return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char *json = NULL;

    str_append(&json, "name: %d, %d, %d", 1, 2, 3);
    str_append(&json, "sex: %s", "male");
    str_append(&json, "end");
    str_append(&json, "");
    str_append(&json, "{\"ret\":true}");

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        str_append(&json, "id-%d", i);
    }

    printf("%s\n", json);

    if (json) free(json);

    return 0;
}

Angular no provider for NameService

Hi , You can use this in your .ts file :

first import your service in this .ts file:

import { Your_Service_Name } from './path_To_Your_Service_Name';

Then in the same file you can add providers: [Your_Service_Name] :

 @Component({
      selector: 'my-app',
      providers: [Your_Service_Name],
      template: `
        <h1>Hello World</h1> `   
    })

Change status bar text color to light in iOS 9 with Objective-C

3. Then paste the following method in viewController file:

   - (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
   { 
       return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; 
   }

How to set specific window (frame) size in java swing?

Try this, but you can adjust frame size with bounds and edit title.

        obj.setVisible(true);       
        obj.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    }

html <input type="text" /> onchange event not working

Firstly, what 'doesn't work'? Do you not see the alert?

Also, Your code could be simplified to this

<input type="text" id="num1" name="num1" onkeydown="checkInput(this);" /> <br />

function checkInput(obj) {
    alert(obj.value); 
}

Lambda function in list comprehensions

People gave good answers but forgot to mention the most important part in my opinion: In the second example the X of the list comprehension is NOT the same as the X of the lambda function, they are totally unrelated. So the second example is actually the same as:

[Lambda X: X*X for I in range(10)]

The internal iterations on range(10) are only responsible for creating 10 similar lambda functions in a list (10 separate functions but totally similar - returning the power 2 of each input).

On the other hand, the first example works totally different, because the X of the iterations DO interact with the results, for each iteration the value is X*X so the result would be [0,1,4,9,16,25, 36, 49, 64 ,81]

Updating a java map entry

Use

table.put(key, val);

to add a new key/value pair or overwrite an existing key's value.

From the Javadocs:

V put(K key, V value): Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map (optional operation). If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value. (A map m is said to contain a mapping for a key k if and only if m.containsKey(k) would return true.)

Javascript alternatives

Modernizr

Modernizr runs quickly on page load to detect features; it then creates a JavaScript object with the results, and adds classes to the html element

User agent selection

The Javascript:

var b = document.documentElement;
        b.setAttribute('data-useragent',  navigator.userAgent);
        b.setAttribute('data-platform', navigator.platform );
        b.className += ((!!('ontouchstart' in window) || !!('onmsgesturechange' in window))?' touch':'');

Adds (e.g) the below to the html element:

data-useragent='Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)'
data-platform='Win32'

Allowing very targetted CSS selectors, e.g.:

html[data-useragent*='Chrome/13.0'] .nav{
    background:url(img/radial_grad.png) center bottom no-repeat;
}

---

Footnote

If possible, avoid browser targeting. Identify and fix any issue(s) you identify. Support progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. With that in mind, this is an 'ideal world' scenario not always obtainable in a production environment, as such- the above should help provide some good options.

Python 3 turn range to a list

In Pythons <= 3.4 you can, as others suggested, use list(range(10)) in order to make a list out of a range (In general, any iterable).

Another alternative, introduced in Python 3.5 with its unpacking generalizations, is by using * in a list literal []:

>>> r = range(10)
>>> l = [*r]
>>> print(l)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Though this is equivalent to list(r), it's literal syntax and the fact that no function call is involved does let it execute faster. It's also less characters, if you need to code golf :-)
