How do I resolve a HTTP 414 "Request URI too long" error?

Based on John's answer, I changed the GET request to a POST request. It works, without having to change the server configuration. So I went looking how to implement this. The following pages were helpful:

jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP (Note the sanitize posted data remark) and

http://www.openjs.com/articles/ajax_xmlhttp_using_post.php

Basically, the difference is that the GET request has the url and parameters in one string and then sends null:

http.open("GET", url+"?"+params, true);
http.send(null);

whereas the POST request sends the url and the parameters in separate commands:

http.open("POST", url, true);
http.send(params);

Here is a working example:

ajaxPOST.html:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function ajaxPOSTTest() {
        try {
            // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari
            ajaxPOSTTestRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
        } catch (e) {
            // Internet Explorer Browsers
            try {
                ajaxPOSTTestRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {
                try {
                    ajaxPOSTTestRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
                } catch (e) {
                    // Something went wrong
                    alert("Your browser broke!");
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }

        ajaxPOSTTestRequest.onreadystatechange = ajaxCalled_POSTTest;
        var url = "ajaxPOST.php";
        var params = "lorem=ipsum&name=binny";
        ajaxPOSTTestRequest.open("POST", url, true);
        ajaxPOSTTestRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        ajaxPOSTTestRequest.send(params);
    }

    //Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
    function ajaxCalled_POSTTest() {
        if (ajaxPOSTTestRequest.readyState == 4) {
            document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = ajaxPOSTTestRequest.responseText;
        }
    }
</script>

</head>
<body>
    <button onclick="ajaxPOSTTest()">ajax POST Test</button>
    <div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>

ajaxPOST.php:

<?php

$lorem=$_POST['lorem'];
print $lorem.'<br>';

?>

I just sent over 12,000 characters without any problems.

ASP.NET Forms Authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired

AS Scott mentioned here http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/09/30/asp-net-security-fix-now-on-windows-update.aspx After windows installed security update for .net framework, you will meet this problem. just modify the configuration section in your web.config file and switch to a different cookie name.

The import org.junit cannot be resolved

You need to add junit library to the classpath of your project. There are several choices to achieve it depending on your development setup.

Command line: In the case of command line invocations, you will have to add junit.jar to the classpath of your application with java -cp /path/to/junit.jar. Take a look at the answers here.
Using eclipse: Eclipse distributions are bundled with this library and this is how you can use it for your project. Right click on the eclipse project and navigate:

Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Library -> JUnit -> Junit 3/4

In the scenarios where you want to use a different version of the jar, instead of clicking on Add Library above you should click on Add External Jar and locate the library on the file system.

How can I get an object's absolute position on the page in Javascript?

var cumulativeOffset = function(element) {
    var top = 0, left = 0;
    do {
        top += element.offsetTop  || 0;
        left += element.offsetLeft || 0;
        element = element.offsetParent;
    } while(element);

    return {
        top: top,
        left: left
    };
};

How to install Laravel's Artisan?

You just have to read the laravel installation page:

Install Composer if not already installed
Open a command line and do:

composer global require "laravel/installer"

Inside your htdocs or www directory, use either:

laravel new appName

(this can lead to an error on windows computers while using latest Laravel (1.3.2)) or:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel appName

(this works also on windows) to create a project called "appName".

To use "php artisan xyz" you have to be inside your project root! as artisan is a file php is going to use... Simple as that ;)

How do I make an HTML button not reload the page

As stated in one of the comments (burried) above, this can be fixed by not placing the button tag inside the form tag. When the button is outside the form, the page does not refresh itself.

How to Diff between local uncommitted changes and origin

I know it's not an answer to the exact question asked, but I found this question looking to diff a file in a branch and a local uncommitted file and I figured I would share

Syntax:

git diff <commit-ish>:./ -- <path>

Examples:

git diff origin/master:./ -- README.md
git diff HEAD^:./ -- README.md
git diff stash@{0}:./ -- README.md
git diff 1A2B3C4D:./ -- README.md

(Thanks Eric Boehs for a way to not have to type the filename twice)

Saving the PuTTY session logging

To set permanent PuTTY session parameters do:

Create sessions in PuTTY. Name it as "MyskinPROD"
Configure the path for this session to point to "C:\dir\&Y&M&D&T_&H_putty.log".
Create a Windows "Shortcut" to C:...\Putty.exe.

Open "Shortcut" Properties and append "Target" line with parameters as shown below:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\UTL\putty.exe" -ssh -load MyskinPROD user@ServerIP -pw password

Now, your PuTTY shortcut will bring in the "MyskinPROD" configuration every time you open the shortcut.

Check the screenshots and details on how I did it in my environment:

What is the pythonic way to unpack tuples?

Generally, you can use the func(*tuple) syntax. You can even pass a part of the tuple, which seems like what you're trying to do here:

t = (2010, 10, 2, 11, 4, 0, 2, 41, 0)
dt = datetime.datetime(*t[0:7])

This is called unpacking a tuple, and can be used for other iterables (such as lists) too. Here's another example (from the Python tutorial):

>>> range(3, 6)             # normal call with separate arguments
[3, 4, 5]
>>> args = [3, 6]
>>> range(*args)            # call with arguments unpacked from a list
[3, 4, 5]

Difference between JSON.stringify and JSON.parse

Firstly, JSON.stringify() function converts a JavaScript value to a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) string. JSON.parse() function converts a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) string into an object. For more information about these two functions, please refer to the following links.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc836459(v=vs.94).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc836466(v=vs.94).aspx

Secondly, the following sample will be helpful for you to understand these two functions.

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <div id="result"></div>
    </div>
</form>

<script>
    $(function () {
        //define a json object
        var employee = { "name": "John Johnson", "street": "Oslo West 16", "phone": "555 1234567" };

        //use JSON.stringify to convert it to json string
        var jsonstring = JSON.stringify(employee);
        $("#result").append('<p>json string: ' + jsonstring + '</p>');

        //convert json string to json object using JSON.parse function
        var jsonobject = JSON.parse(jsonstring);
        var info = '<ul><li>Name:' + jsonobject.name + '</li><li>Street:' + jsonobject.street + '</li><li>Phone:' + jsonobject.phone + '</li></ul>';

        $("#result").append('<p>json object:</p>');
        $("#result").append(info);
    });
</script>

Find multiple files and rename them in Linux

find -execdir rename

https://stackoverflow.com/a/16541670/895245 works directly only for suffixes, but this will work for arbitrary regex replacements on basenames:

PATH=/usr/bin find . -depth -execdir rename 's/_dbg.txt$/_.txt' '{}' \;

or to affect files only:

PATH=/usr/bin find . -type f -execdir rename 's/_dbg.txt$/_.txt' '{}' \;

-execdir first cds into the directory before executing only on the basename.

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04, find 4.7.0, rename 1.10.

Convenient and safer helper for it

find-rename-regex() (
  set -eu
  find_and_replace="$1"
  PATH="$(echo "$PATH" | sed -E 's/(^|:)[^\/][^:]*//g')" \
    find . -depth -execdir rename "${2:--n}" "s/${find_and_replace}" '{}' \;
)

GitHub upstream.

Sample usage to replace spaces ' ' with hyphens '-'.

Dry run that shows what would be renamed to what without actually doing it:

find-rename-regex ' /-/g'

Do the replace:

find-rename-regex ' /-/g' -v

Command explanation

The awesome -execdir option does a cd into the directory before executing the rename command, unlike -exec.

-depth ensure that the renaming happens first on children, and then on parents, to prevent potential problems with missing parent directories.

-execdir is required because rename does not play well with non-basename input paths, e.g. the following fails:

rename 's/findme/replaceme/g' acc/acc

The PATH hacking is required because -execdir has one very annoying drawback: find is extremely opinionated and refuses to do anything with -execdir if you have any relative paths in your PATH environment variable, e.g. ./node_modules/.bin, failing with:

find: The relative path ‘./node_modules/.bin’ is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find. Please remove that entry from $PATH

-execdir is a GNU find extension to POSIX. rename is Perl based and comes from the rename package.

Rename lookahead workaround

If your input paths don't come from find, or if you've had enough of the relative path annoyance, we can use some Perl lookahead to safely rename directories as in:

git ls-files | sort -r | xargs rename 's/findme(?!.*\/)\/?$/replaceme/g' '{}'

I haven't found a convenient analogue for -execdir with xargs: https://superuser.com/questions/893890/xargs-change-working-directory-to-file-path-before-executing/915686

The sort -r is required to ensure that files come after their respective directories, since longer paths come after shorter ones with the same prefix.

Tested in Ubuntu 18.10.

How to check if a string contains an element from a list in Python

extensionsToCheck = ('.pdf', '.doc', '.xls')

'test.doc'.endswith(extensionsToCheck)   # returns True

'test.jpg'.endswith(extensionsToCheck)   # returns False

Get selected value/text from Select on change

<script>
function test(a) {
    var x = a.selectedIndex;
    alert(x);
}
</script>
<select onchange="test(this)" id="select_id">
    <option value="0">-Select-</option>
    <option value="1">Communication</option>
    <option value="2">Communication</option>
    <option value="3">Communication</option>
</select>

in the alert you'll see the INT value of the selected index, treat the selection as an array and you'll get the value

Divide a number by 3 without using *, /, +, -, % operators

Idiotic conditions call for an idiotic solution:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    FILE * fp=fopen("temp.dat","w+b");
    int number=12346;
    int divisor=3;
    char * buf = calloc(number,1);
    fwrite(buf,number,1,fp);
    rewind(fp);
    int result=fread(buf,divisor,number,fp);
    printf("%d / %d = %d", number, divisor, result);
    free(buf);
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

If also the decimal part is needed, just declare result as double and add to it the result of fmod(number,divisor).

Explanation of how it works

The fwrite writes number bytes (number being 123456 in the example above).
rewind resets the file pointer to the front of the file.
fread reads a maximum of number "records" that are divisor in length from the file, and returns the number of elements it read.

If you write 30 bytes then read back the file in units of 3, you get 10 "units". 30 / 3 = 10

Can't ping a local VM from the host

I had the same issue. Fixed it by adding a static route on my host to my VM via the VMnet8 adapter:

route ADD VM_addr MASK 255.255.255.255 VMnet8_addr

As previously mentioned, you need a bridged connection.

Add & delete view from Layout

This is the best way

LinearLayout lp = new LinearLayout(this);
lp.addView(new Button(this));
lp.addView(new ImageButton(this));
// Now remove them 
lp.removeViewAt(0); // and so on

If you have xml layout then no need to add dynamically.just call

lp.removeViewAt(0);

What does -z mean in Bash?

-z

string is null, that is, has zero length

String=''   # Zero-length ("null") string variable.

if [ -z "$String" ]
then
  echo "\$String is null."
else
  echo "\$String is NOT null."
fi     # $String is null.

The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

In CodeBlocks you can go to Settings...Compiler... and choose either 1) the two items in the blue box or 2) the one item in the green box

Passing a varchar full of comma delimited values to a SQL Server IN function

I have same idea with user KM. but do not need extra table Number. Just this function only.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FN_ListToTable]
(
    @SplitOn              char(1)              --REQUIRED, the character to split the @List string on
   ,@List                 varchar(8000)        --REQUIRED, the list to split apart
)
RETURNS
@ParsedList table
(
    ListValue varchar(500)
)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @number int = 0
    DECLARE @childString varchar(502) = ''
    DECLARE @lengthChildString int = 0
    DECLARE @processString varchar(502) = @SplitOn + @List + @SplitOn

    WHILE @number < LEN(@processString)
    BEGIN
        SET @number = @number + 1
        SET @lengthChildString = CHARINDEX(@SplitOn, @processString, @number + 1) - @number - 1
        IF @lengthChildString > 0
        BEGIN
            SET @childString = LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@processString, @number + 1, @lengthChildString)))

            IF @childString IS NOT NULL AND @childString != ''
            BEGIN
                INSERT INTO @ParsedList(ListValue) VALUES (@childString)
                SET @number = @number + @lengthChildString - 1
            END
        END
    END

RETURN

END

And here is the test:

SELECT ListValue FROM dbo.FN_ListToTable('/','a/////bb/c')

Result:

   ListValue
______________________
   a
   bb
   c

select2 onchange event only works once

Apparently the change event is not fired if a selection already exists when using data. I ended up updating the data manually on select to resolve the problem.

$("#search_code").on("select2-selecting", function(e) {
    $("#search_code").select2("data",e.choice);
});

I know this is pretty late but hopefully this answer will save others time.

How to convert TimeStamp to Date in Java?

Eclipse No tests found using JUnit 5 caused by NoClassDefFoundError for LauncherFactory

I have the same issue with STS 3.9.1. It seems like an Eclipse bug, however, to fix this you can add a test dependency junit-platform-launcher to your project (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.platform/junit-platform-launcher)

This is how I did for my project which uses gradle:

dependencies {
    // other stuff here

    testCompile group: 'org.junit.jupiter', name: 'junit-jupiter-engine', version: "5.${junit5MinorVersion}"
    testCompile group: 'org.junit.platform', name: 'junit-platform-launcher', version: "1.${junit5MinorVersion}"
}

gradle.properties file:

junit5MinorVersion=1.0

I believe the same applies if you see this exception while using IntelliJ IDEA.

Split code over multiple lines in an R script

You are not breaking code over multiple lines, but rather a single identifier. There is a difference.

For your issue, try

R> setwd(paste("~/a/very/long/path/here",
               "/and/then/some/more",
               "/and/then/some/more",
               "/and/then/some/more", sep=""))

which also illustrates that it is perfectly fine to break code across multiple lines.

How to solve Object reference not set to an instance of an object.?

I think you just need;

List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("hai");

There is a difference between

List<string> list;

and

List<string> list = new List<string>();

When you didn't use new keyword in this case, your list didn't initialized. And when you try to add it hai, obviously you get an error.

Go: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

The nil pointer dereference is in line 65 which is the defer in

res, err := client.Do(req)
defer res.Body.Close()

if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

If err!= nil then res==nil and res.Body panics. Handle err before defering the res.Body.Close().

Woocommerce get products

Do not use WP_Query() or get_posts(). From the WooCommerce doc:

wc_get_products and WC_Product_Query provide a standard way of retrieving products that is safe to use and will not break due to database changes in future WooCommerce versions. Building custom WP_Queries or database queries is likely to break your code in future versions of WooCommerce as data moves towards custom tables for better performance.

You can retrieve the products you want like this:

$args = array(
    'category' => array( 'hoodies' ),
    'orderby'  => 'name',
);
$products = wc_get_products( $args );

WooCommerce documentation

Note: the category argument takes an array of slugs, not IDs.

Valid values for android:fontFamily and what they map to?

As far as I'm aware, you can't declare custom fonts in xml or themes. I usually just make custom classes extending textview that set their own font on instantiation and use those in my layout xml files.

ie:

public class Museo500TextView extends TextView {
    public Museo500TextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);      
        this.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "path/to/font.ttf"));
    }
}

and

<my.package.views.Museo900TextView
        android:id="@+id/dialog_error_text_header"
        android:layout_width="190dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:textSize="12sp" />

How to simulate a mouse click using JavaScript?

An easier and more standard way to simulate a mouse click would be directly using the event constructor to create an event and dispatch it.

Though the MouseEvent.initMouseEvent() method is kept for backward compatibility, creating of a MouseEvent object should be done using the MouseEvent() constructor.

var evt = new MouseEvent("click", {
    view: window,
    bubbles: true,
    cancelable: true,
    clientX: 20,
    /* whatever properties you want to give it */
});
targetElement.dispatchEvent(evt);

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/932wyok6/

This works on all modern browsers. For old browsers including IE, MouseEvent.initMouseEvent will have to be used unfortunately though it's deprecated.

var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
evt.initMouseEvent("click", canBubble, cancelable, view,
                   detail, screenX, screenY, clientX, clientY,
                   ctrlKey, altKey, shiftKey, metaKey,
                   button, relatedTarget);
targetElement.dispatchEvent(evt);

What is ".NET Core"?

From Microsoft's Website:

.NET Core refers to several technologies including .NET Core, ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core.

These technologies are different than native .NET in that they run using CoreCLR runtime (used in the Universal Windows Platform).

As you mentioned in your question, .NET Core is not only open-source, but portable as well [runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux]

The internals of .NET Core are also optimised to not use different modules from its core library unless it is required by the application.

How to underline a UILabel in swift?

You can use this also if you want to achieve only half part of label as underline:- //For Swift 4.0+

let attributesForUnderLine: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [
            .font: UIFont(name: AppFont.sourceSansPro_Regular, size: 12) ?? UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 11),
            .foregroundColor: UIColor.blue,
            .underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue]

        let attributesForNormalText: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [
            .font: UIFont(name: AppFont.sourceSansPro_Regular, size: 12) ?? UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 11),
            .foregroundColor: AppColors.ColorText_787878]

        let textToSet = "Want to change your preferences? Edit Now"
        let rangeOfUnderLine = (textToSet as NSString).range(of: "Edit Now")
        let rangeOfNormalText = (textToSet as NSString).range(of: "Want to change your preferences?")

        let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: textToSet)
        attributedText.addAttributes(attributesForUnderLine, range: rangeOfUnderLine)
        attributedText.addAttributes(attributesForNormalText, range: rangeOfNormalText)
        yourLabel.attributedText = attributedText

What's the difference between commit() and apply() in SharedPreferences

From javadoc:

Unlike commit(), which writes its preferences out to persistent storage synchronously, apply() commits its changes to the in-memory SharedPreferences immediately but starts an asynchronous commit to disk and you won't be notified of any failures. If another editor on this SharedPreferences does a regular commit() while a > apply() is still outstanding, the commit() will block until all async commits are completed as well as the commit itself

Entity Framework Join 3 Tables

I think it will be easier using syntax-based query:

var entryPoint = (from ep in dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
                 join e in dbContext.tbl_Entry on ep.EID equals e.EID
                 join t in dbContext.tbl_Title on e.TID equals t.TID
                 where e.OwnerID == user.UID
                 select new {
                     UID = e.OwnerID,
                     TID = e.TID,
                     Title = t.Title,
                     EID = e.EID
                 }).Take(10);

And you should probably add orderby clause, to make sure Top(10) returns correct top ten items.

Darkening an image with CSS (In any shape)

You could always change the opacity of the image, given the difficulty of any alternatives this might be the best approach.

CSS:

.tinted { opacity: 0.8; }

If you're interested in better browser compatability, I suggest reading this:

http://css-tricks.com/css-transparency-settings-for-all-broswers/

If you're determined enough you can get this working as far back as IE7 (who knew!)

Note: As JGonzalezD points out below, this only actually darkens the image if the background colour is generally darker than the image itself. Although this technique may still be useful if you don't specifically want to darken the image, but instead want to highlight it on hover/focus/other state for whatever reason.

What is the difference between aggregation, composition and dependency?

An object associated with a composition relationship will not exist outside the containing object. Examples are an Appointment and the owner (a Person) or a Calendar; a TestResult and a Patient.

On the other hand, an object that is aggregated by a containing object can exist outside that containing object. Examples are a Door and a House; an Employee and a Department.

A dependency relates to collaboration or delegation, where an object requests services from another object and is therefor dependent on that object. As the client of the service, you want the service interface to remain constant, even if future services are offered.

Android - set TextView TextStyle programmatically?

You may try this one

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                textView.setTextAppearance(R.style.Lato_Bold);
            } else {
                textView.setTextAppearance(getActivity(), R.style.Lato_Bold);
            }

Check if image exists on server using JavaScript?

If you create an image tag and add it to the DOM, either its onload or onerror event should fire. If onerror fires, the image doesn't exist on the server.

Getting Serial Port Information

There is a post about this same issue on MSDN:

Getting more information about a serial port in C#

Hi Ravenb,

We can't get the information through the SerialPort type. I don't know why you need this info in your application. However, there's a solved thread with the same question as you. You can check out the code there, and see if it can help you.

If you have any further problem, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards, Bruce Zhou

The link in that post goes to this one:

How to get more info about port using System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

You can probably get this info from a WMI query. Check out this tool to help you find the right code. Why would you care though? This is just a detail for a USB emulator, normal serial ports won't have this. A serial port is simply know by "COMx", nothing more.

What's the difference between :: (double colon) and -> (arrow) in PHP?

The => operator is used to assign key-value pairs in an associative array. For example:

$fruits = array(
  'Apple'  => 'Red',
  'Banana' => 'Yellow'
);

It's meaning is similar in the foreach statement:

foreach ($fruits as $fruit => $color)
  echo "$fruit is $color in color.";

HTML.ActionLink method

If you want to go all fancy-pants, here's how you can extend it to be able to do this:

@(Html.ActionLink<ArticlesController>(x => x.Details(), article.Title, new { id = article.ArticleID }))

You will need to put this in the System.Web.Mvc namespace:

public static class MyProjectExtensions
{
    public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink<TController>(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Expression<Action<TController>> expression, string linkText)
    {
        var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext.RequestContext, htmlHelper.RouteCollection);

        var link = new TagBuilder("a");

        string actionName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        string controllerName = typeof(TController).Name.Replace("Controller", "");

        link.MergeAttribute("href", urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName));
        link.SetInnerText(linkText);

        return new MvcHtmlString(link.ToString());
    }

    public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink<TController, TAction>(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Expression<Action<TController, TAction>> expression, string linkText, object routeValues)
    {
        var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext.RequestContext, htmlHelper.RouteCollection);

        var link = new TagBuilder("a");

        string actionName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        string controllerName = typeof(TController).Name.Replace("Controller", "");

        link.MergeAttribute("href", urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues));
        link.SetInnerText(linkText);

        return new MvcHtmlString(link.ToString());
    }

    public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink<TController>(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, Expression<Action<TController>> expression, string linkText, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes) where TController : Controller
    {
        var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext.RequestContext, htmlHelper.RouteCollection);

        var attributes = AnonymousObjectToKeyValue(htmlAttributes);

        var link = new TagBuilder("a");

        string actionName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression);
        string controllerName = typeof(TController).Name.Replace("Controller", "");

        link.MergeAttribute("href", urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues));
        link.MergeAttributes(attributes, true);
        link.SetInnerText(linkText);

        return new MvcHtmlString(link.ToString());
    }

    private static Dictionary<string, object> AnonymousObjectToKeyValue(object anonymousObject)
    {
        var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();

        if (anonymousObject == null) return dictionary;

        foreach (PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(anonymousObject))
        {
            dictionary.Add(propertyDescriptor.Name, propertyDescriptor.GetValue(anonymousObject));
        }

        return dictionary;
    }
}

This includes two overrides for Route Values and HTML Attributes, also, all of your views would need to add: @using YourProject.Controllers or you can add it to your web.config <pages><namespaces>

How to fluently build JSON in Java?

String json = new JsonBuilder(new GsonAdapter())
  .object("key1", "value1")
  .object("key2", "value2")
  .object("key3")
    .object("innerKey1", "value3")
    .build().toString();

If you think the above solution is elegant, then please try out my JsonBuilder lib. It was created to allow one way of building json structures for many types of Json libraries. Current implementations include Gson, Jackson and MongoDB. For ie. Jackson just swap:

String json = new JsonBuilder(new JacksonAdapter()).

I'll happily add others on request, it`s also quite easy to implement one by oneself.

How to use std::sort to sort an array in C++

If you don't know the size, you can use:

std::sort(v, v + sizeof v / sizeof v[0]);

Even if you do know the size, it's a good idea to code it this way as it will reduce the possibility of a bug if the array size is changed later.

Javascript Uncaught Reference error Function is not defined

In JSFiddle, when you set the wrapping to "onLoad" or "onDomready", the functions you define are only defined inside that block, and cannot be accessed by outside event handlers.

Easiest fix is to change:

To:

window.something = function(...)

How to specify names of columns for x and y when joining in dplyr?

This is more a workaround than a real solution. You can create a new object test_data with another column name:

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

Please remove call to trustSrc function and try again like this . {{trustSrc(currentProject.url)}} to {{currentProject.url}}. Check this link http://plnkr.co/edit/caqS1jE9fpmMn5NofUve?p=preview

But according to the Angular Js 1.2 Documentation, you should write a function for getting src url. Have a look on the following code.

Before:

Javascript

scope.baseUrl = 'page';
scope.a = 1;
scope.b = 2;

Html

<!-- Are a and b properly escaped here? Is baseUrl controlled by user? -->
<iframe src="{{baseUrl}}?a={{a}&b={{b}}"

But for security reason they are recommending following method

Javascript

var baseUrl = "page";
scope.getIframeSrc = function() {

  // One should think about their particular case and sanitize accordingly
  var qs = ["a", "b"].map(function(value, name) {
      return encodeURIComponent(name) + "=" +
             encodeURIComponent(value);
    }).join("&");

  // `baseUrl` isn't exposed to a user's control, so we don't have to worry about escaping it.
  return baseUrl + "?" + qs;
};

Html

<iframe src="{{getIframeSrc()}}">

Converting an int into a 4 byte char array (C)

mysql select from n last rows

I know this may be a bit old, but try using PDO::lastInsertId. I think it does what you want it to, but you would have to rewrite your application to use PDO (Which is a lot safer against attacks)

What is a Data Transfer Object (DTO)?

A DTO is a dumb object - it just holds properties and has getters and setters, but no other logic of any significance (other than maybe a compare() or equals() implementation).

Typically model classes in MVC (assuming .net MVC here) are DTOs, or collections/aggregates of DTOs

Return sql rows where field contains ONLY non-alphanumeric characters

This will not work correctly, e.g. abcÑxyz will pass thru this as it has a,b,c... you need to work with Collate or check each byte.

Change the image source on rollover using jQuery

A generic solution that doesn't limit you to "this image" and "that image" only may be to add the 'onmouseover' and 'onmouseout' tags to the HTML code itself.

HTML

<img src="img1.jpg" onmouseover="swap('img2.jpg')" onmouseout="swap('img1.jpg')" />

JavaScript

function swap(newImg){
  this.src = newImg;
}

Depending on your setup, maybe something like this would work better (and requires less HTML modification).

HTML

<img src="img1.jpg" id="ref1" />
<img src="img3.jpg" id="ref2" />
<img src="img5.jpg" id="ref3" />

JavaScript / jQuery

// Declare Arrays
  imgList = new Array();
  imgList["ref1"] = new Array();
  imgList["ref2"] = new Array();
  imgList["ref3"] = new Array();

//Set values for each mouse state
  imgList["ref1"]["out"] = "img1.jpg";
  imgList["ref1"]["over"] = "img2.jpg";
  imgList["ref2"]["out"] = "img3.jpg";
  imgList["ref2"]["over"] = "img4.jpg";
  imgList["ref3"]["out"] = "img5.jpg";
  imgList["ref3"]["over"] = "img6.jpg";

//Add the swapping functions
  $("img").mouseover(function(){
    $(this).attr("src", imgList[ $(this).attr("id") ]["over"]);
  }

  $("img").mouseout(function(){
    $(this).attr("src", imgList[ $(this).attr("id") ]["out"]);
  }

What's the point of the X-Requested-With header?

Some frameworks are using this header to detect xhr requests e.g. grails spring security is using this header to identify xhr request and give either a json response or html response as response.

Most Ajax libraries (Prototype, JQuery, and Dojo as of v2.1) include an X-Requested-With header that indicates that the request was made by XMLHttpRequest instead of being triggered by clicking a regular hyperlink or form submit button.

IIS7 Settings File Locations

Also check this answer from here: Cannot manually edit applicationhost.config

The answer is simple, if not that obvious: win2008 is 64bit, notepad++ is 32bit. When you navigate to Windows\System32\inetsrv\config using explorer you are using a 64bit program to find the file. When you open the file using using notepad++ you are trying to open it using a 32bit program. The confusion occurs because, rather than telling you that this is what you are doing, windows allows you to open the file but when you save it the file's path is transparently mapped to Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\Config.

So in practice what happens is you open applicationhost.config using notepad++, make a change, save the file; but rather than overwriting the original you are saving a 32bit copy of it in Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\Config, therefore you are not making changes to the version that is actually used by IIS. If you navigate to the Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\Config you will find the file you just saved.

How to get around this? Simple - use a 64bit text editor, such as the normal notepad that ships with windows.

SVN- How to commit multiple files in a single shot

You can use --targets ARG option where ARG is the name of textfile containing the targets for commit.

svn ci --targets myfiles.txt -m "another commit"

Reset par to the default values at startup

dev.off() is the best function, but it clears also all plots. If you want to keep plots in your window, at the beginning save default par settings:

def.par = par()

Then when you use your par functions you still have a backup of default par settings. Later on, after generating plots, finish with:

par(def.par) #go back to default par settings

With this, you keep generated plots and reset par settings.

Can I run Keras model on gpu?

See if your script is running GPU in Task manager. If not, suspect your CUDA version is right one for the tensorflow version you are using, as the other answers suggested already.

Additionally, a proper CUDA DNN library for the CUDA version is required to run GPU with tensorflow. Download/extract it from here and put the DLL (e.g., cudnn64_7.dll) into CUDA bin folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\bin).

Find a value in DataTable

A DataTable or DataSet object will have a Select Method that will return a DataRow array of results based on the query passed in as it's parameter.

Looking at your requirement your filterexpression will have to be somewhat general to make this work.

myDataTable.Select("columnName1 like '%" + value + "%'");

HTML Script tag: type or language (or omit both)?

HTML4/XHTML1 requires

<script type="...">...</script>

HTML5 faces the fact that there is only one scripting language on the web, and allows

<script>...</script>

The latter works in any browser that supports scripting (NN2+).

How does delete[] know it's an array?

"undefined behaviour" simply means the language spec makes no gaurantees as to what will happen. It doesn't nessacerally mean that something bad will happen.

So whose job is it to remember these things? Does the OS keep some type of record in the background? (I mean, I realise that I started this post by saying that what happens is undefined, but the fact is, the 'killing spree' scenario doesn't happen, so therefore in the practical world someone is remembering.)

There are typically two layers here. The underlying memory manager and the C++ implementation.

Most memory managers were designed to meet the needs of the C language. In C the "free" function does not require the user to specify the size of the block. Therefore the memory manager will remember (among other things) the size of the block of memory that was allocated. This may be larger than the block the C++ implementation asked for. Typically the memory manager will store it's metadata before the allocated block of memory.

C++ has a culture of "you only pay for what you use". Therefore the C++ implementation will generally only remember the size of the array if it needs to do so for it's own purposes, typically because the type has a non-trival destructor.

So for types with a trivial destructor the implementation of "delete" and "delete []" is typically the same. The C++ implementation simply passes the pointer to the underlying memory manager. Something like

free(p)

On the other hand for types with a non-trivial destructor "delete" and "delete []" are likely to be different. "delete" would be somthing like (where T is the type that the pointer points to)

p->~T();
free(p);

While "delete []" would be something like.

size_t * pcount = ((size_t *)p)-1;
size_t count = *count;
for (size_t i=0;i<count;i++) {
  p[i].~T();
}
char * pmemblock = ((char *)p) - max(sizeof(size_t),alignof(T));
free(pmemblock);

Delete last commit in bitbucket

Here is a simple approach in up to 4 steps:

0 - Advise the team you are going to fix the repository

Connect with the team and let them know of the upcoming changes.

1 - Remove the last commit

Assuming your target branch is master:

$ git checkout master              # move to the target branch
$ git reset --hard HEAD^           # remove the last commit
$ git push -f                      # push to fix the remote

At this point you are done if you are working alone.

2 - Fix your teammate's local repositories

On your teammate's:

$ git checkout master              # move to the target branch
$ git fetch                        # update the local references but do not merge  
$ git reset --hard origin/master   # match the newly fetched remote state

If your teammate had no new commits, you are done at this point and you should be in sync.

3 - Bringing back lost commits

Let's say a teammate had a new and unpublished commit that were lost in this process.

$ git reflog                       # find the new commit hash
$ git cherry-pick <commit_hash>

Do this for as many commits as necessary.

I have successfully used this approach many times. It requires a team effort to make sure everything is synchronized.

Properties file in python (similar to Java Properties)

You can use the following function, which is the modified code of @mvallebr. It respects the properties file comments, ignores empty new lines, and allows retrieving a single key value.

def getProperties(propertiesFile ="/home/memin/.config/customMemin/conf.properties", key=''):
    """
    Reads a .properties file and returns the key value pairs as dictionary.
    if key value is specified, then it will return its value alone.
    """
    with open(propertiesFile) as f:
        l = [line.strip().split("=") for line in f.readlines() if not line.startswith('#') and line.strip()]
        d = {key.strip(): value.strip() for key, value in l}

        if key:
            return d[key]
        else:
            return d

How to manually force a commit in a @Transactional method?

I had a similar use case during testing hibernate event listeners which are only called on commit.

The solution was to wrap the code to be persistent into another method annotated with REQUIRES_NEW. (In another class) This way a new transaction is spawned and a flush/commit is issued once the method returns.

Tx prop REQUIRES_NEW

Keep in mind that this might influence all the other tests! So write them accordingly or you need to ensure that you can clean up after the test ran.

Checking from shell script if a directory contains files

I would go for find:

if [ -z "$(find $dir -maxdepth 1 -type f)" ]; then
    echo "$dir has NO files"
else
    echo "$dir has files"

This checks the output of looking for just files in the directory, without going through the subdirectories. Then it checks the output using the -z option taken from man test:

   -z STRING
          the length of STRING is zero

See some outcomes:

$ mkdir aaa
$ dir="aaa"

Empty dir:

$ [ -z "$(find aaa/ -maxdepth 1 -type f)" ] && echo "empty"
empty

Just dirs in it:

$ mkdir aaa/bbb
$ [ -z "$(find aaa/ -maxdepth 1 -type f)" ] && echo "empty"
empty

A file in the directory:

$ touch aaa/myfile
$ [ -z "$(find aaa/ -maxdepth 1 -type f)" ] && echo "empty"
$ rm aaa/myfile

A file in a subdirectory:

$ touch aaa/bbb/another_file
$ [ -z "$(find aaa/ -maxdepth 1 -type f)" ] && echo "empty"
empty

Is there a difference between "==" and "is"?

As the other people in this post answer the question in details the difference between == and is for comparing Objects or variables, I would emphasize mainly the comparison between is and == for strings which can give different results and I would urge programmers to carefully use them.

For string comparison, make sure to use == instead of is:

str = 'hello'
if (str is 'hello'):
    print ('str is hello')
if (str == 'hello'):
    print ('str == hello')

Out:

str is hello
str == hello

But in the below example == and is will get different results:

str2 = 'hello sam'
    if (str2 is 'hello sam'):
        print ('str2 is hello sam')
    if (str2 == 'hello sam'):
        print ('str2 == hello sam')

Out:

str2 == hello sam

Conclusion and Analysis:

Use is carefully to compare between strings. Since is for comparing objects and since in Python 3+ every variable such as string interpret as an object, let's see what happened in above paragraphs.

In python there is id function that shows a unique constant of an object during its lifetime. This id is using in back-end of Python interpreter to compare two objects using is keyword.

str = 'hello'
id('hello')
> 140039832615152
id(str)
> 140039832615152

But

str2 = 'hello sam'
id('hello sam')
> 140039832615536
id(str2)
> 140039832615792

What are native methods in Java and where should they be used?

What are native methods in Java and where should they be used?

Once you see a small example, it becomes clear:

Main.java:

public class Main {
    public native int intMethod(int i);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.loadLibrary("Main");
        System.out.println(new Main().intMethod(2));
    }
}

Main.c:

#include <jni.h>
#include "Main.h"

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_Main_intMethod(
    JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jint i) {
  return i * i;
}

Compile and run:

javac Main.java
javah -jni Main
gcc -shared -fpic -o libMain.so -I${JAVA_HOME}/include \
  -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/linux Main.c

with the tradeoff of lower portability.

And you can make a <a> look like button. There can be a lot of ways to work this around. Do a little search.

What is the Java equivalent for LINQ?

Now that Java 8 supports lambdas, it's possible to create Java APIs that closely resemble LINQ.

Jinq is one of these new LINQ-style libraries for Java.

I am the developer of this library. It is based on five years of research on using bytecode analysis to translate Java to database queries. Similar to how C#'s D-LINQ is a query layer that sits on top of the Entity Framework, Jinq is able to act as a query layer sitting on top of JPA or jOOQ. It has support for aggregation, groups, and subqueries. Even Erik Meijer (the creator of LINQ) has acknowledged Jinq.

Why use Gradle instead of Ant or Maven?

Gradle nicely combines both Ant and Maven, taking the best from both frameworks. Flexibility from Ant and convention over configuration, dependency management and plugins from Maven.

So if you want to have a standard java build, like in maven, but test task has to do some custom step it could look like below.

build.gradle:

apply plugin:'java'
task test{
  doFirst{
    ant.copy(toDir:'build/test-classes'){fileset dir:'src/test/extra-resources'}
  }
  doLast{
    ...
  }
}

On top of that it uses groovy syntax which gives much more expression power then ant/maven's xml.

It is a superset of Ant - you can use all Ant tasks in gradle with nicer, groovy-like syntax, ie.

ant.copy(file:'a.txt', toDir:"xyz")

ant.with{
  delete "x.txt"
  mkdir "abc"
  copy file:"a.txt", toDir: "abc"
}

How do you run JavaScript script through the Terminal?

You would need a JavaScript engine (such as Mozilla's Rhino) in order to evaluate the script - exactly as you do for Python, though the latter ships with the standard distribution.

If you have Rhino (or alternative) installed and on your path, then running JS can indeed be as simple as

> rhino filename.js

It's worth noting though that while JavaScript is simply a language in its own right, a lot of particular scripts assume that they'll be executing in a browser-like environment - and so try to access global variables such as location.href, and create output by appending DOM objects rather than calling print.

If you've got hold of a script which was written for a web page, you may need to wrap or modify it somewhat to allow it to accept arguments from stdin and write to stdout. (I believe Rhino has a mode to emulate standard browser global vars which helps a lot, though I can't find the docs for this now.)

Convert the first element of an array to a string in PHP

A simple way to create a array to a PHP string array is:

<?PHP
    $array = array("firstname"=>"John", "lastname"=>"doe");
    $json = json_encode($array);
    $phpStringArray = str_replace(array("{", "}", ":"),

Constructors in Go

Golang is not OOP language in its official documents. All fields of Golang struct has a determined value(not like c/c++), so constructor function is not so necessary as cpp. If you need assign some fields some special values, use factory functions. Golang's community suggest New.. pattern names.

I agree with most answers in the fact that it is better to be explicit in your code and use braces. Personally I would adopt a set of coding standards and ensure that everyone on the team knows them and conforms. Where I work we use coding standards published by IDesign.net for .NET projects.

How to SELECT a dropdown list item by value programmatically

I prefer

if(ddl.Items.FindByValue(string) != null)
{
    ddl.Items.FindByValue(string).Selected = true;
}

Replace ddl with the dropdownlist ID and string with your string variable name or value.

How to count the number of files in a directory using Python

This is an easy solution that counts the number of files in a directory containing sub-folders. It may come in handy;

import os
from pathlib import Path

def count_files(rootdir):
    '''counts the number of files in each subfolder in a directory'''
    for path in pathlib.Path(rootdir).iterdir():
        if path.is_dir():
            print("There are " + str(len([name for name in os.listdir(path) \
            if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, name))])) + " files in " + \
            str(path.name))
            
 
count_files(data_dir) # data_dir is the directory you want files counted.

You should get an output similar to this (with the placeholders changed, of course);

There are {number of files} files in {name of sub-folder1}
There are {number of files} files in {name of sub-folder2}

How to check if a value exists in an object using JavaScript

you can try this one

var obj = {
  "a": "test1",
  "b": "test2"
};

const findSpecificStr = (obj, str) => {
  return Object.values(obj).includes(str);
}

findSpecificStr(obj, 'test1');

Python logging not outputting anything

For anyone here that wants a super-simple answer: just set the level you want displayed. At the top of all my scripts I just put:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level = logging.INFO)

Then to display anything at or above that level:

logging.info("Hi you just set your fleeb to level plumbus")

It is a hierarchical set of five levels so that logs will display at the level you set, or higher. So if you want to display an error you could use logging.error("The plumbus is broken").

The levels, in increasing order of severity, are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL. The default setting is WARNING.

This is a good article containing this information expressed better than my answer:

SQL - HAVING vs. WHERE

WHERE clause is used to eliminate the tuples in a relation,and HAVING clause is used to eliminate the groups in a relation.

HAVING clause is used for aggregate functions such as MIN,MAX,COUNT,SUM .But always use GROUP BY clause before HAVING clause to minimize the error.

SQL Server query to find all current database names

I don't recommend this method... but if you want to go wacky and strange:

Repeat table headers in print mode

Before you implement this solution it's important to know that Webkit currently doesn't do this.

Here is the relevant issue on the Chrome issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24826

And on the Webkit issue tracker: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17205

Remove all non-"word characters" from a String in Java, leaving accented characters?

You might want to remove the accents and diacritic signs first, then on each character position check if the "simplified" string is an ascii letter - if it is, the original position shall contain word characters, if not, it can be removed.

Simplest two-way encryption using PHP

Use mcrypt_encrypt() and mcrypt_decrypt() with corresponding parameters. Really easy and straight forward, and you use a battle-tested encryption package.

EDIT

5 years and 4 months after this answer, the mcrypt extension is now in the process of deprecation and eventual removal from PHP.

What does @media screen and (max-width: 1024px) mean in CSS?

If your media query condition is true then your CSS with that condition will work. That means CSS within your media query's condition pixel size will effect, or else if the condition will fail that mean if the device's width is greater than 1024px than your CSS will not work.Because your media query condition false.

max-width is your max CSS limit till that width.

How do I get the last character of a string using an Excel function?

Looks like the answer above was a little incomplete try the following:-

=RIGHT(A2,(LEN(A2)-(LEN(A2)-1)))

Obviously, this is for cell A2...

What this does is uses a combination of Right and Len - Len is the length of a string and in this case, we want to remove all but one from that... clearly, if you wanted the last two characters you'd change the -1 to -2 etc etc etc.

After the length has been determined and the portion of that which is required - then the Right command will display the information you need.

This works well combined with an IF statement - I use this to find out if the last character of a string of text is a specific character and remove it if it is. See, the example below for stripping out commas from the end of a text string...

=IF(RIGHT(A2,(LEN(A2)-(LEN(A2)-1)))=",",LEFT(A2,(LEN(A2)-1)),A2)

C++ Array of pointers: delete or delete []?

For new you should use delete. For new[] use delete[]. Your second variant is correct.

What does ==$0 (double equals dollar zero) mean in Chrome Developer Tools?

I will say It 's just shorthand syntax for get reference of html element during debugging time , normaly these kind of task will perform by these method

document.getElementById , document.getElementsByClassName , document.querySelector

so clicking on an html element and getting a reference variable ($0) in console is a huge time saving during the day

Calculate median in c#

        for (int x = 0; x < n; x++)
            medList[x] = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        //sort the input array:
        //Array.Sort(medList);            
        for (int x = 0; x < n; x++)
        {
            double[] newArr = new double[x + 1];
            for (int y = 0; y <= x; y++)
                newArr[y] = medList[y];

            Array.Sort(newArr);
            int curInd = x + 1;
            if (curInd % 2 == 0) //even
            {
                int mid = (x / 2) <= 0 ? 0 : (newArr.Length / 2);
                if (mid > 1) mid--;
                double median = (newArr[mid] + newArr[mid+1]) / 2;
                Console.WriteLine("{0:F1}", median);
            }
            else //odd
            {
                int mid = (x / 2) <= 0 ? 0 : (newArr.Length / 2);
                double median = newArr[mid];
                Console.WriteLine("{0:F1}", median);
            }
        }

Error - "UNION operator must have an equal number of expressions" when using CTE for recursive selection

Then number of columns must match between both parts of the union.

In order to build the full path, you need to "aggregate" all values of the Location column. You still need to select the id and other columns inside the CTE in order to be able to join properly. You get "rid" of them by simply not selecting them in the outer select:

with q as 
(
   select ID, PartOf_LOC_id, Location, ' > ' + Location as path
   from tblLocation 
   where ID = 1 

   union all

   select child.ID, child.PartOf_LOC_id, Location, parent.path + ' > ' + child.Location 
   from tblLocation child
     join q parent on parent.ID = t.LOC_PartOf_ID
)
select path
from q;

How to randomize Excel rows

I usually do as you describe:
Add a separate column with a random value (=RAND()) and then perform a sort on that column.

Might be more complex and prettyer ways (using macros etc), but this is fast enough and simple enough for me.

Video file formats supported in iPhone

The short answer is the iPhone supports H.264 video, High profile and AAC audio, in container formats .mov, .mp4, or MPEG Segment .ts. MPEG Segment files are used for HTTP Live Streaming.

For maximum compatibility with Android and desktop browsers, use H.264 + AAC in an .mp4 container.
For extended length videos longer than 10 minutes you must use HTTP Live Streaming, which is H.264 + AAC in a series of small .ts container files (see App Store Review Guidelines rule 2.5.7).

Video

On the iPhone, H.264 is the only game in town. [1]

There are several different feature tiers or "profiles" available in H.264. All modern iPhones (3GS and above) support the High profile. These profiles are basically three different levels of algorithm "tricks" used to compress the video. More tricks give better compression, but require more CPU or dedicated hardware to decode. This is a table that lists the differences between the different profiles.

[1] Interestingly, Apple's own Facetime uses the newer H.265 (HEVC) video codec. However right now (August 2017) there is no Apple-provided library that gives access to a HEVC codec to developers. This is expected to change at some point.

In talking about what video format the iPhone supports, a distinction should be made between what the hardware can support, and what the (much lower) limits are for playback when streaming over a network.

The only data given about hardware video support by Apple about the current generation of iPhones (SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus) is that they support

4K [3840x2160] video recording at 30 fps

1080p [1920x1080] HD video recording at 30 fps or 60 fps.

Obviously the phone can play back what it can record, so we can guess that 3840x2160 at 30 fps and 1920x1080 at 60 fps represent design limits of the phone. In addition, the screen size on the 6S Plus and 7 Plus is 1920x1080. So if you're interested in playback on the phone, it doesn't make sense to send over more pixels then the screen can draw.

However, streaming video is a different matter. Since networks are slow and video is huge, it's typical to use lower resolutions, bitrates, and frame rates than the device's theoretical maximum.

The most detailed document giving recommendations for streaming is TN2224 Best Practices for Creating and Deploying HTTP Live Streaming Media for Apple Devices. Figure 3 in that document gives a table of recommended streaming parameters:

This table is from May 2016.

As you can see, Apple recommends the relatively low resolution of 768x432 as the highest recommended resolution for streaming over a cellular network. Of course this is just a recommendation and YMMV.

Audio

The question is about video, but that video generally has one or more audio tracks with it. The iPhone supports a few audio formats, but the most modern and by far most widely used is AAC. The iPhone 7 / 7 Plus, 6S Plus / 6S, SE all support AAC bitrates of 8 to 320 Kbps.

Container

The audio and video tracks go inside a container. The purpose of the container is to combine (interleave) the different tracks together, to store metadata, and to support seeking. The iPhone supports

QuickTime .mov,
MP4, and
MPEG-TS.

The .mov and .mp4 file formats are closely related (.mp4 is in fact based on .mov), however .mp4 is an ISO standard that has much wider support.

As noted above, you have to use MPEG-TS for videos longer than 10 minutes.

Get column index from column name in python pandas

For returning multiple column indices, I recommend using the pandas.Index method get_indexer, if you have unique labels:

df = pd.DataFrame({"pear": [1, 2, 3], "apple": [2, 3, 4], "orange": [3, 4, 5]})
df.columns.get_indexer(['pear', 'apple'])
# Out: array([0, 1], dtype=int64)

If you have non-unique labels in the index (columns only support unique labels) get_indexer_for. It takes the same args as get_indeder:

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {"pear": [1, 2, 3], "apple": [2, 3, 4], "orange": [3, 4, 5]}, 
    index=[0, 1, 1])
df.index.get_indexer_for([0, 1])
# Out: array([0, 1, 2], dtype=int64)

Both methods also support non-exact indexing with, f.i. for float values taking the nearest value with a tolerance. If two indices have the same distance to the specified label or are duplicates, the index with the larger index value is selected:

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {"pear": [1, 2, 3], "apple": [2, 3, 4], "orange": [3, 4, 5]},
    index=[0, .9, 1.1])
df.index.get_indexer([0, 1])
# array([ 0, -1], dtype=int64)

How to set session variable in jquery?

You could try using HTML5s sessionStorage it lasts for the duration on the page session. A page session lasts for as long as the browser is open and survives over page reloads and restores. Opening a page in a new tab or window will cause a new session to be initiated.

sessionStorage.setItem("username", "John");

binning data in python with scipy/numpy

The Scipy (>=0.11) function scipy.stats.binned_statistic specifically addresses the above question.

For the same example as in the previous answers, the Scipy solution would be

data = np.random.rand(100)
bin_means = binned_statistic(data, data, bins=10, range=(0, 1))[0]

Resize on div element

DIV does not fire a resize event, so you won't be able to do exactly what you've coded, but you could look into monitoring DOM properties.

If you are actually working with something like resizables, and that is the only way for a div to change in size, then your resize plugin will probably be implementing a callback of its own.

Quickly create large file on a Windows system

Short of writing a full application, us Python guys can achieve files of any size with four lines, same snippet on Windows and Linux (the os.stat() line is just a check):

>>> f = open('myfile.txt','w')

>>> f.write('\x00')
>>> f.close()
>>> os.stat('myfile.txt').st_size

Using Boost.Assign:

#include <map>
#include "boost/assign.hpp"
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::assign;

map<int, char> m = map_list_of (1, 'a') (3, 'b') (5, 'c') (7, 'd');

The above answer only adds the sqljdbc4.jar to the local repository. As a result, when creating the final project jar for distribution, sqljdbc4 will again be missing as was indicated in the comment by @Tony regarding runtime error.

Microsoft (and Oracle and other third party providers) restrict the distribution of their software as per the ENU/EULA. Therefore those software modules do not get added in Maven produced jars for distribution. There are hacks to get around it (such as providing the location of the 3rd party jar file at runtime), but as a developer you must be careful about violating the licensing.

A better approach for jdbc connectors/drivers is to use jTDS, which is compatible to most DBMS's, more reliable, faster (as per benchmarks), and distributed under GNU license. It will make your life much easier to use this than trying to pound the square peg into the round hole following any of the other techniques above.

Take n rows from a spark dataframe and pass to toPandas()

You could get first rows of Spark DataFrame with head and then create Pandas DataFrame:

l = [('Alice', 1),('Jim',2),('Sandra',3)]
df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(l, ['name', 'age'])

df_pandas = pd.DataFrame(df.head(3), columns=df.columns)

In [4]: df_pandas
Out[4]: 
     name  age
0   Alice    1
1     Jim    2
2  Sandra    3

What is "stdafx.h" used for in Visual Studio?

It's a "precompiled header file" -- any headers you include in stdafx.h are pre-processed to save time during subsequent compilations. You can read more about it here on MSDN.

If you're building a cross-platform application, check "Empty project" when creating your project and Visual Studio won't put any files at all in your project.

how to specify new environment location for conda create

You can create it like this

conda create --prefix C:/tensorflow2 python=3.7

and you don't have to move to that folder to activate it.

# To activate this environment, use:
# > activate C:\tensorflow2

As you see I do it like this.

D:\Development_Avector\PycharmProjects\TensorFlow>activate C:\tensorflow2

(C:\tensorflow2) D:\Development_Avector\PycharmProjects\TensorFlow>

(C:\tensorflow2) D:\Development_Avector\PycharmProjects\TensorFlow>conda --version

Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?

Most browsers will simply ignore any NON-hex values in your color string, substituting non-hex digits with zeros.

ChuCknorris translates to c00c0000000. At this point, the browser will divide the string into three equal sections, indicating Red, Green and Blue values: c00c 0000 0000. Extra bits in each section will be ignored, which makes the final result #c00000 which is a reddish color.

Note, this does not apply to CSS color parsing, which follow the CSS standard.

_x000D_

<p><font color='chucknorris'>Redish</font></p>_x000D_
<p><font color='#c00000'>Same as above</font></p>_x000D_
<p><span style="color: chucknorris">Black</span></p>

JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example

This is a problem often encountered with asynchronous code, the variable i is mutable and at the time at which the function call is made the code using i will be executed and i will have mutated to its last value, thus meaning all functions created within the loop will create a closure and i will be equal to 3 (the upper bound + 1 of the for loop.

A workaround to this, is to create a function that will hold the value of i for each iteration and force a copy i (as it is a primitive, think of it as a snapshot if it helps you).

Download file of any type in Asp.Net MVC using FileResult?

You can just specify the generic octet-stream MIME type:

public FileResult Download()
{
    byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\folder\myfile.ext");
    string fileName = "myfile.ext";
    return File(fileBytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, fileName);
}

Change File Extension Using C#

You should do a move of the file to rename it. In your example code you are only changing the string, not the file:

myfile= "c:/my documents/my images/cars/a.jpg";
string extension = Path.GetExtension(myffile); 
myfile.replace(extension,".Jpeg");

you are only changing myfile (which is a string). To move the actual file, you should do

FileInfo f = new FileInfo(myfile);
f.MoveTo(Path.ChangeExtension(myfile, ".Jpeg"));

See FileInfo.MoveTo

MySQL "Or" Condition

Use brackets to group the OR statements.

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Drinks WHERE email='$Email' AND (date='$Date_Today' OR date='$Date_Yesterday' OR date='$Date_TwoDaysAgo' OR date='$Date_ThreeDaysAgo' OR date='$Date_FourDaysAgo' OR date='$Date_FiveDaysAgo' OR date='$Date_SixDaysAgo' OR date='$Date_SevenDaysAgo')");

You can also use IN

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Drinks WHERE email='$Email' AND date IN ('$Date_Today','$Date_Yesterday','$Date_TwoDaysAgo','$Date_ThreeDaysAgo','$Date_FourDaysAgo','$Date_FiveDaysAgo','$Date_SixDaysAgo','$Date_SevenDaysAgo')");

Python not working in the command line of git bash

I am using MINGW64 via Visual Studio Code on Windows 10 and trying to install node-sass (which requires python2). I followed felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools #56 on Github which solved my issue.

This is a special case, but I'm posting in case someone has the same problem:

npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

This installs python and other required build tools to %USERPROFILE%\.windows-build-tools\python27.

XSL substring and indexOf

I want to select the text of a string that is located after the occurrence of substring

You could use:

substring-after($string,$match)

If you want a subtring of the above with some length then use:

substring(substring-after($string,$match),1,$length)

But problems begin if there is no ocurrence of the matching substring... So, if you want a substring with specific length located after the occurrence of a substring, or from the whole string if there is no match, you could use:

substring(substring-after($string,substring-before($string,$match)),
          string-length($match) * contains($string,$match) + 1,
          $length)

select unique rows based on single distinct column

Since you don't care which id to return I stick with MAX id for each email to simplify SQL query, give it a try

;WITH ue(id)
 AS
 (
   SELECT MAX(id)
   FROM table
   GROUP BY email
 )
 SELECT * FROM table t
 INNER JOIN ue ON ue.id = t.id

The EntityManager is closed

For what it's worth I found this issue was happening in a batch import command because of a try/catch loop catching an SQL error (with em->flush()) that I didn't do anything about. In my case it was because I was trying to insert a record with a non-nullable property left as null.

Typically this would cause a critical exception to happen and the command or controller to halt, but I was just logging this problem instead and carrying on. The SQL error had caused the entity manager to close.

Check your dev.log file for any silly SQL errors like this as it could be your fault. :)

White space showing up on right side of page when background image should extend full length of page

I've also had the same issue ( Website body background rendering a right white margin in iPhone Safari ) and found that adding the background image to the <html> tag fixed the problem.

Before

body {background:url('images/back.jpg');}

After

html, body {background:url('images/back.jpg');}

How to compare two dates along with time in java

Since Date implements Comparable<Date>, it is as easy as:

date1.compareTo(date2);

As the Comparable contract stipulates, it will return a negative integer/zero/positive integer if date1 is considered less than/the same as/greater than date2 respectively (ie, before/same/after in this case).

Note that Date has also .after() and .before() methods which will return booleans instead.

C# Passing Function as Argument

There are a couple generic types in .Net (v2 and later) that make passing functions around as delegates very easy.

For functions with return types, there is Func<> and for functions without return types there is Action<>.

Both Func and Action can be declared to take from 0 to 4 parameters. For example, Func < double, int > takes one double as a parameter and returns an int. Action < double, double, double > takes three doubles as parameters and returns nothing (void).

So you can declare your Diff function to take a Func:

public double Diff(double x, Func<double, double> f) {
    double h = 0.0000001;

    return (f(x + h) - f(x)) / h;
}

And then you call it as so, simply giving it the name of the function that fits the signature of your Func or Action:

double result = Diff(myValue, Function);

You can even write the function in-line with lambda syntax:

double result = Diff(myValue, d => Math.Sqrt(d * 3.14));

Animation fade in and out

we can simply use:

public void animStart(View view) {
    if(count==0){
        Log.d("count", String.valueOf(count));
        i1.animate().alpha(0f).setDuration(2000);
        i2.animate().alpha(1f).setDuration(2000);
        count =1;
    }
    else if(count==1){
        Log.d("count", String.valueOf(count));
        count =0;
        i2.animate().alpha(0f).setDuration(2000);
        i1.animate().alpha(1f).setDuration(2000);
    }
}

where i1 and i2 are defined in the onCreateView() as:

    i1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.firstImage);
    i2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.secondImage);

count is a class variable initilaized to 0.

The XML file is :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/secondImage"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:onClick="animStart"
            android:src="@drawable/second" />
      <ImageView
          android:id="@+id/firstImage"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"

          android:onClick="animStart"
          android:src="@drawable/first" />
    </RelativeLayout>

@drawable/first and @drawable/second are the images in the drawable folder in res.

Going through a text file line by line in C

Say you're dealing with some other delimiter, such as a \t tab, instead of a \n newline.

A more general approach to delimiters is the use of getc(), which grabs one character at a time.

Note that getc() returns an int, so that we can test for equality with EOF.

Secondly, we define an array line[BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH] of type char, in order to store up to BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH-1 characters on the stack (we have to save that last character for a \0 terminator character).

Use of an array avoids the need to use malloc and free to create a character pointer of the right length on the heap.

#define BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH 1024

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    FILE *file = NULL;
    char line[BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH];
    int tempChar;
    unsigned int tempCharIdx = 0U;

    if (argc == 2)
         file = fopen(argv[1], "r");
    else {
         fprintf(stderr, "error: wrong number of arguments\n"
                         "usage: %s textfile\n", argv[0]);
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    if (!file) {
         fprintf(stderr, "error: could not open textfile: %s\n", argv[1]);
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    /* get a character from the file pointer */
    while(tempChar = fgetc(file))
    {
        /* avoid buffer overflow error */
        if (tempCharIdx == BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH) {
            fprintf(stderr, "error: line is too long. increase BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH.\n");
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }

        /* test character value */
        if (tempChar == EOF) {
            line[tempCharIdx] = '\0';
            fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", line);
            break;
        }
        else if (tempChar == '\n') {
            line[tempCharIdx] = '\0';
            tempCharIdx = 0U;
            fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", line);
            continue;
        }
        else
            line[tempCharIdx++] = (char)tempChar;
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

If you must use a char *, then you can still use this code, but you strdup() the line[] array, once it is filled up with a line's worth of input. You must free this duplicated string once you're done with it, or you'll get a memory leak:

#define BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH 1024

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    FILE *file = NULL;
    char line[BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH];
    int tempChar;
    unsigned int tempCharIdx = 0U;
    char *dynamicLine = NULL;

    if (argc == 2)
         file = fopen(argv[1], "r");
    else {
         fprintf(stderr, "error: wrong number of arguments\n"
                         "usage: %s textfile\n", argv[0]);
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    if (!file) {
         fprintf(stderr, "error: could not open textfile: %s\n", argv[1]);
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    while(tempChar = fgetc(file))
    {
        /* avoid buffer overflow error */
        if (tempCharIdx == BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH) {
            fprintf(stderr, "error: line is too long. increase BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH.\n");
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }

        /* test character value */
        if (tempChar == EOF) {
            line[tempCharIdx] = '\0';
            dynamicLine = strdup(line);
            fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", dynamicLine);
            free(dynamicLine);
            dynamicLine = NULL;
            break;
        }
        else if (tempChar == '\n') {
            line[tempCharIdx] = '\0';
            tempCharIdx = 0U;
            dynamicLine = strdup(line);
            fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", dynamicLine);
            free(dynamicLine);
            dynamicLine = NULL;
            continue;
        }
        else
            line[tempCharIdx++] = (char)tempChar;
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

FIND_IN_SET() vs IN()

because the second query is looking for rows with the id's 1 OR 2 OR 3, the first query is looking for a one of the comma delimited values to exist in companyID,

and another problem here is you aren't joining the tables on a common key in your where so you are going to get a mutation of rows that = count(table1) * count(table2);

Your problem really exists with part 2 of my answer. (with your second query)

Pandas left outer join multiple dataframes on multiple columns

Merge them in two steps, df1 and df2 first, and then the result of that to df3.

In [33]: s1 = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='left', on=['Year', 'Week', 'Colour'])

I dropped year from df3 since you don't need it for the last join.

In [39]: df = pd.merge(s1, df3[['Week', 'Colour', 'Val3']],
                       how='left', on=['Week', 'Colour'])

Write HTML to string

You could write your own classes with its Render method, and another attributes, to avoid a great mess if you use it a lot, and then use the HTMLWriter or the xmlwriter as well. This logic is used in the asp.net pages, you can inherit from webControl and override the render method, wich is great if you are developing server-side controls.
This could be a good example.

Open mvc view in new window from controller

Yeah you can do some tricky works to simulate what you want:

1) Call your controller from a view by ajax. 2) Return your View

3) Use something like the following in the success (or maybe error! error works for me!) section of your $.ajax request:

$("#imgPrint").click(function () {
        $.ajax({
            url: ...,
            type: 'POST', dataType: 'json',
            data: $("#frm").serialize(),
            success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
                //Here it is:
                //Gets the model state
                var isValid = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewData.ModelState.IsValid))'; 
                // checks that model is valid                    
                if (isValid == 'true') {
                    //open new tab or window - according to configs of browser
                    var w = window.open();
                    //put what controller gave in the new tab or win 
                    $(w.document.body).html(jqXHR.responseText);
                }
                $("#imgSpinner1").hide();
            },
            error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                // And here it is for error section. 
                //Pay attention to different order of 
                //parameters of success and error sections!
                var isValid = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewData.ModelState.IsValid))';                    
                if (isValid == 'true') {
                    var w = window.open();
                    $(w.document.body).html(jqXHR.responseText);
                }
                $("#imgSpinner1").hide();
            },
            beforeSend: function () { $("#imgSpinner1").show(); },
            complete: function () { $("#imgSpinner1").hide(); }
        });            
    });

add an onclick event to a div

Everythings works well. You can't use divtag.onclick, becease "onclick" attribute doesn't exist. You need first create this attribute by using .setAttribute(). Look on this http://reference.sitepoint.com/javascript/Element/setAttribute . You should read documentations first before you start giving "-".

SQL Server database restore error: specified cast is not valid. (SqlManagerUI)

Finally got this error to go away on a restore. I moved to SQL2012 out of frustration, but I guess this would probably still work on 2008R2. I had to use the logical names:

RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = ‘location of your.bak file’

And from there I ran a restore statement with MOVE using logical names.

RESTORE DATABASE database1
FROM DISK = '\\database path\database.bak'
WITH
MOVE 'File_Data' TO 'E:\location\database.mdf',
MOVE 'File_DOCS' TO 'E:\location\database_1.ndf',
MOVE 'file' TO 'E:\location\database_2.ndf',
MOVE 'file' TO 'E:\location\database_3.ndf',
MOVE 'file_Log' TO 'E:\location\database.ldf'

When it was done restoring, I almost wept with joy.

Good luck!

);
echo json_encode($json_array);

favicon.png vs favicon.ico - why should I use PNG instead of ICO?

And I still keep the favicon.ico in root.

proper way to sudo over ssh

The best way is ssh -t user@server "sudo <scriptname>", for example ssh -t user@server "sudo reboot". It will prompt for password for user first and then root(since we are running the script or command with root privilege.

I hope it helped and cleared your doubt.

Differences between socket.io and websockets

tl;dr;

Comparing them is like comparing Restaurant food (maybe expensive sometimes, and maybe not 100% you want it) with homemade food, where you have to gather and grow each one of the ingredients on your own.

Maybe if you just want to eat an apple, the latter is better. But if you want something complicated and you're alone, it's really not worth cooking and making all the ingredients by yourself.

I've worked with both of these. Here is my experience.

SocketIO

Has autoconnect
Has namespaces
Has rooms
Has subscriptions service
Has a pre-designed protocol of communication

(talking about the protocol to subscribe, unsubscribe or send a message to a specific room, you must all design them yourself in websockets)
Has good logging support
Has integration with services such as redis
Has fallback in case WS is not supported (well, it's more and more rare circumstance though)
It's a library. Which means, it's actually helping your cause in every way. Websockets is a protocol, not a library, which SocketIO uses anyway.
The whole architecture is supported and designed by someone who is not you, thus you dont have to spend time designing and implementing anything from the above, but you can go straight to coding business rules.
Has a community because it's a library (you can't have a community for HTTP or Websockets :P They're just standards/protocols)

Websockets

You have the absolute control, depending on who you are, this can be very good or very bad
It's as light as it gets (remember, its a protocol, not a library)
You design your own architecture & protocol
Has no autoconnect, you implement it yourself if yo want it
Has no subscription service, you design it
Has no logging, you implement it
Has no fallback support
Has no rooms, or namespaces. If you want such concepts, you implement them yourself
Has no support for anything, you will be the one who implements everything
You first have to focus on the technical parts and designing everything that comes and goes from and to your Websockets
You have to debug your designs first, and this is going to take you a long time

Obviously, you can see I'm biased to SocketIO. I would love to say so, but I'm really really not.

I'm really fighting not to use SocketIO. I dont wanna use it. I like designing my own stuff and solving my own problems myself. But if you want to have a business and not just a 1000 lines project, and you're going to choose Websockets, you're going to have to implement every single thing yourself. You have to debug everything. You have to make your own subscription service. Your own protocol. Your own everything. And you have to make sure everything is quite sophisticated. And you'll make A LOT of mistakes along the way. You'll spend tons of time designing and debugging everything. I did and still do. I'm using websockets and the reason I'm here is because they're unbearable for a one guy trying to deal with solving business rules for his startup and instead dealing with Websocket designing jargon.

Choosing Websockets for a big application ain't an easy option if you're a one guy army or a small team. I've wrote more code in Websockets than I ever wrote with SocketIO in the past, and all I have to say is ... Choose SocketIO if you want a finished product and design. (unless you want something very simple in functionality)

How to Return partial view of another controller by controller?

The control searches for a view in the following order:

First in shared folder
Then in the folder matching the current controller (in your case it's Views/DEF)

As you do not have xxx.cshtml in those locations, it returns a "view not found" error.

Solution: You can use the complete path of your view:

 PartialView("~/views/ABC/XXX.cshtml", zyxmodel);

how to download image from any web page in java

If you want to save the image and you know its URL you can do this:

try(InputStream in = new URL("http://example.com/image.jpg").openStream()){
    Files.copy(in, Paths.get("C:/File/To/Save/To/image.jpg"));
}

You will also need to handle the IOExceptions which may be thrown.

YAML equivalent of array of objects in JSON

TL;DR

You want this:

AAPL:
  - shares: -75.088
    date: 11/27/2015
  - shares: 75.088
    date: 11/26/2015

Mappings

The YAML equivalent of a JSON object is a mapping, which looks like these:

# flow style
{ foo: 1, bar: 2 }

# block style
foo: 1
bar: 2

Note that the first characters of the keys in a block mapping must be in the same column. To demonstrate:

# OK
   foo: 1
   bar: 2

# Parse error
   foo: 1
    bar: 2

Sequences

The equivalent of a JSON array in YAML is a sequence, which looks like either of these (which are equivalent):

# flow style
[ foo bar, baz ]

# block style
- foo bar
- baz

In a block sequence the -s must be in the same column.

JSON to YAML

Let's turn your JSON into YAML. Here's your JSON:

{"AAPL": [
  {
    "shares": -75.088,
    "date": "11/27/2015"
  },
  {
    "shares": 75.088,
    "date": "11/26/2015"
  },
]}

As a point of trivia, YAML is a superset of JSON, so the above is already valid YAML—but let's actually use YAML's features to make this prettier.

Starting from the inside out, we have objects that look like this:

{
  "shares": -75.088,
  "date": "11/27/2015"
}

The equivalent YAML mapping is:

shares: -75.088
date: 11/27/2015

We have two of these in an array (sequence):

- shares: -75.088
  date: 11/27/2015
- shares: 75.088
  date: 11/26/2015

Note how the -s line up and the first characters of the mapping keys line up.

Finally, this sequence is itself a value in a mapping with the key AAPL:

AAPL:
  - shares: -75.088
    date: 11/27/2015
  - shares: 75.088
    date: 11/26/2015

Parsing this and converting it back to JSON yields the expected result:

{
  "AAPL": [
    {
      "date": "11/27/2015", 
      "shares": -75.088
    }, 
    {
      "date": "11/26/2015", 
      "shares": 75.088
    }
  ]
}

You can see it (and edit it interactively) here.

AngularJs .$setPristine to reset form

I solved the same problem of having to reset a form at its pristine state in Angular version 1.0.7 (no $setPristine method)

In my use case, the form, after being filled and submitted must disappear until it is again necessary for filling another record. So I made the show/hide effect by using ng-switch instead of ng-show. As I suspected, with ng-switch, the form DOM sub-tree is completely removed and later recreated. So the pristine state is automatically restored.

I like it because it is simple and clean but it may not be a fit for anybody's use case.

it may also imply some performance issues for big forms (?) In my situation I did not face this problem yet.

file_get_contents behind a proxy?

To use file_get_contents() over/through a proxy that doesn't require authentication, something like this should do :

(I'm not able to test this one : my proxy requires an authentication)

$aContext = array(
    'http' => array(
        'proxy'           => 'tcp://192.168.0.2:3128',
        'request_fulluri' => true,
    ),
);
$cxContext = stream_context_create($aContext);

$sFile = file_get_contents("http://www.google.com", False, $cxContext);

echo $sFile;

Of course, replacing the IP and port of my proxy by those which are OK for yours ;-)

If you're getting that kind of error :

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.google.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required

It means your proxy requires an authentication.

If the proxy requires an authentication, you'll have to add a couple of lines, like this :

$auth = base64_encode('LOGIN:PASSWORD');

$aContext = array(
    'http' => array(
        'proxy'           => 'tcp://192.168.0.2:3128',
        'request_fulluri' => true,
        'header'          => "Proxy-Authorization: Basic $auth",
    ),
);
$cxContext = stream_context_create($aContext);

$sFile = file_get_contents("http://www.google.com", False, $cxContext);

echo $sFile;

Same thing about IP and port, and, this time, also LOGIN and PASSWORD ;-) Check out all valid http options.

Now, you are passing an Proxy-Authorization header to the proxy, containing your login and password.

And... The page should be displayed ;-)

Send POST data on redirect with JavaScript/jQuery?

Here's a simple small function that can be applied anywhere as long as you're using jQuery.

var redirect = 'http://www.website.com/page?id=23231';
$.redirectPost(redirect, {x: 'example', y: 'abc'});

// jquery extend function
$.extend(
{
    redirectPost: function(location, args)
    {
        var form = '';
        $.each( args, function( key, value ) {
            value = value.split('"').join('\"')
            form += '<input type="hidden" name="'+key+'" value="'+value+'">';
        });
        $('<form action="' + location + '" method="POST">' + form + '</form>').appendTo($(document.body)).submit();
    }
});

Select multiple elements from a list

mylist[c(5,7,9)] should do it.

You want the sublists returned as sublists of the result list; you don't use [[]] (or rather, the function is [[) for that -- as Dason mentions in comments, [[ grabs the element.

How to safely upgrade an Amazon EC2 instance from t1.micro to large?

Use the AWS EC2 console, not ElasticFox.

First Way:

Create a new AMI of the instance
Launch it

Alternative Way:

Make a snapshot of the disk
Launch a large EBS instance with the same AMI type (please note that at this point the disk will contain the data that was present when this AMI was created, not your latest changes)
Once is fully booted, stop the new instance
Detach the root volume from the stopped instance
Create a virtual disk from the snapshot created before in the same availability zone of the new instance
Attach the root volume to /dev/sda1
Start the new instance again

PHP file_get_contents() returns "failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!"

file_get_contents() utilizes the fopen() wrappers, therefore it is restricted from accessing URLs through the allow_url_fopen option within php.ini.

You will either need to alter your php.ini to turn this option on or use an alternative method, namely cURL - by far the most popular and, to be honest, standard way to accomplish what you are trying to do.

intl extension: installing php_intl.dll

In my case adding PHP directory to PATH in user environment didn't work. After some testing I've found that it should be added to system PATH (I don't know what's the name of this part of system setting windows, 'couse I have Polish Windows).

How do you read CSS rule values with JavaScript?

I added return of object where attributes are parsed out style/values:

var getClassStyle = function(className){
    var x, sheets,classes;
    for( sheets=document.styleSheets.length-1; sheets>=0; sheets-- ){
        classes = document.styleSheets[sheets].rules || document.styleSheets[sheets].cssRules;
        for(x=0;x<classes.length;x++) {
            if(classes[x].selectorText===className){
                classStyleTxt = (classes[x].cssText ? classes[x].cssText : classes[x].style.cssText).match(/\{\s*([^{}]+)\s*\}/)[1];
                var classStyles = {};
                var styleSets = classStyleTxt.match(/([^;:]+:\s*[^;:]+\s*)/g);
                for(y=0;y<styleSets.length;y++){
                    var style = styleSets[y].match(/\s*([^:;]+):\s*([^;:]+)/);
                    if(style.length > 2)
                        classStyles[style[1]]=style[2];
                }
                return classStyles;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
};

Identifier not found error on function call

Unlike other languages you may be used to, everything in C++ has to be declared before it can be used. The compiler will read your source file from top to bottom, so when it gets to the call to swapCase, it doesn't know what it is so you get an error. You can declare your function ahead of main with a line like this:

void swapCase(char *name);

or you can simply move the entirety of that function ahead of main in the file. Don't worry about having the seemingly most important function (main) at the bottom of the file. It is very common in C or C++ to do that.

C# : 'is' keyword and checking for Not

The extension method IsNot<T> is a nice way to extend the syntax. Keep in mind

var container = child as IContainer;
if(container != null)
{
  // do something w/ contianer
}

performs better than doing something like

if(child is IContainer)
{
  var container = child as IContainer;
  // do something w/ container
}

In your case, it doesn't matter as you are returning from the method. In other words, be careful to not do both the check for type and then the type conversion immediately after.

get value from DataTable

You can try changing it to this:

If myTableData.Rows.Count > 0 Then
  For i As Integer = 0 To myTableData.Rows.Count - 1
    ''Dim DataType() As String = myTableData.Rows(i).Item(1)
    ListBox2.Items.Add(myTableData.Rows(i)(1))
  Next
End If

Note: Your loop needs to be one less than the row count since it's a zero-based index.

Getting a list of associative array keys

Just a quick note. Be wary of using for..in if you use a library (jQuery, Prototype, etc.), as most of them add methods to created Objects (including dictionaries).

This will mean that when you loop over them, method names will appear as keys. If you are using a library, look at the documentation and look for an enumerable section, where you will find the right methods for iteration of your objects.

Java Project: Failed to load ApplicationContext

I had the same problem, and I was using the following plugin for tests:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.9</version>
    <configuration>
        <useFile>true</useFile>
        <includes>
            <include>**/*Tests.java</include>
            <include>**/*Test.java</include>
        </includes>
        <excludes>
            <exclude>**/Abstract*.java</exclude>
        </excludes>
        <junitArtifactName>junit:junit</junitArtifactName>
        <parallel>methods</parallel>
        <threadCount>10</threadCount>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The test were running fine in the IDE (eclipse sts), but failed when using command mvn test.

After a lot of trial and error, I figured the solution was to remove parallel testing, the following two lines from the plugin configuration above:

    <parallel>methods</parallel>
    <threadCount>10</threadCount>

Hope that this helps someone out!

How to set the min and max height or width of a Frame?

There is no single magic function to force a frame to a minimum or fixed size. However, you can certainly force the size of a frame by giving the frame a width and height. You then have to do potentially two more things: when you put this window in a container you need to make sure the geometry manager doesn't shrink or expand the window. Two, if the frame is a container for other widget, turn grid or pack propagation off so that the frame doesn't shrink or expand to fit its own contents.

Note, however, that this won't prevent you from resizing a window to be smaller than an internal frame. In that case the frame will just be clipped.

import Tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
frame1 = tk.Frame(root, width=100, height=100, background="bisque")
frame2 = tk.Frame(root, width=50, height = 50, background="#b22222")

frame1.pack(fill=None, expand=False)
frame2.place(relx=.5, rely=.5, anchor="c")

root.mainloop()

difference between css height : 100% vs height : auto

height:100% works if the parent container has a specified height property else, it won't work

Print Pdf in C#

Use PDFiumViewer. I searched for a long time till I came up with a similar solution, then I found this clean piece of code that does not rely on sending raw files to the printer (which is bad if they get interpreted as text files..) or using Acrobat or Ghostscript as a helper (both would need to be installed, which is a hassle):

https://stackoverflow.com/a/41751184/586754

PDFiumViewer comes via nuget, the code example above is complete. Pass in null values for using the default printer.

Is it possible to change the package name of an Android app on Google Play?

From Dianne Hackborn:

Things That Cannot Change:

The most obvious and visible of these is the “manifest package name,” the unique name you give to your application in its AndroidManifest.xml. The name uses a Java-language-style naming convention, with Internet domain ownership helping to avoid name collisions. For example, since Google owns the domain “google.com”, the manifest package names of all of our applications should start with “com.google.” It’s important for developers to follow this convention in order to avoid conflicts with other developers.

Once you publish your application under its manifest package name, this is the unique identity of the application forever more. Switching to a different name results in an entirely new application, one that can’t be installed as an update to the existing application.

How to SELECT the last 10 rows of an SQL table which has no ID field?

If you know how many rows to expect, I would create a separate temporary table in your database of the expected structure, append into that, then check the count... Once you are good with that, then you can massage that data before appending it into your final production table.

Oracle listener not running and won't start

In my case the listener service would not start because it was set to listen to a VPN connection as well to other serveral interfaces.

Once I connected to the VPN, it just started.

However, @Imre's trick with "lsnrctl start" put me to the right track.

Format an Excel column (or cell) as Text in C#?

Before your write to Excel need to change the format:

xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlWorkSheet = xlWorkBook.Sheets("Sheet1")

'set each cell's format to Text
cells.NumberFormat = "@"

'reset horizontal alignment to the right

Rounding Bigdecimal values with 2 Decimal Places

Add 0.001 first to the number and then call setScale(2, RoundingMode.ROUND_HALF_UP)

Code example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal("10.12445").add(new BigDecimal("0.001"));
    BigDecimal b = a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
    System.out.println(b);
}

inherit from two classes in C#

Do you mean you want Class C to be the base class for A & B in that case.

    public abstract void Method2();
}

public class A : C
{
    public override void Method1()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override void Method2()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}


public class B : C
{
    public override void Method1()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override void Method2()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();

Select multiple rows with the same value(s)

The problem is GROUP BY - if you group results by Locus, you only get one result per locus.

Try:

SELECT * FROM Genes WHERE Locus = '3' AND Chromosome = '10';

If you prefer using HAVING syntax, then GROUP BY id or something that is not repeating in the result set.

Can gcc output C code after preprocessing?

Yes. Pass gcc the -E option. This will output preprocessed source code.

$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient 
$webclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user,$pass)  

#Initialize var for infinite loop
$i=0

#Infinite loop
while($i -eq 0){ 

    #Pause 1 seconde before continue
    Start-Sleep -sec 1

    #Search for pictures in directory
    foreach($item in (dir $Dir "*.jpg"))
    {
        #Set default network status to 1
        $onNetwork = "1"

        #Get picture creation dateTime...
        $pictureDateTime = (Get-ChildItem $item.fullName).CreationTime

        #Convert dateTime to timeStamp
        $pictureTimeStamp = (Get-Date $pictureDateTime).ToFileTime()

        #Get actual timeStamp
        $timeStamp = (Get-Date).ToFileTime() 

        #Get picture lifeTime
        $pictureLifeTime = $timeStamp - $pictureTimeStamp

        #We only treat pictures that are fully written on the disk
        #So, we put a 2 second delay to ensure even big pictures have been fully wirtten   in the disk
        if($pictureLifeTime -gt "2") {    

            #If upload fails, we set network status at 0

How can I print out just the index of a pandas dataframe?

You can use lamba function:

index = df.index[lambda x : for x in df.index() ]
print(index)

SQL Error: ORA-00913: too many values

You should specify column names as below. It's good practice and probably solve your problem

insert into abc.employees (col1,col2) 
select col1,col2 from employees where employee_id=100;

EDIT:

As you said employees has 112 columns (sic!) try to run below select to compare both tables' columns

select * 
from ALL_TAB_COLUMNS ATC1
left join ALL_TAB_COLUMNS ATC2 on ATC1.COLUMN_NAME = ATC1.COLUMN_NAME 
                               and  ATC1.owner = UPPER('2nd owner')
where ATC1.owner = UPPER('abc')
and ATC2.COLUMN_NAME is null
AND ATC1.TABLE_NAME = 'employees'

and than you should upgrade your tables to have the same structure.

jQuery: read text file from file system

This is working fine in firefox at least.

The problem I was facing is, that I got an XML object in stead of a plain text string. Reading an xml-file from my local drive works fine (same directory as the html), so I do not see why reading a text file would be an issue.

I figured that I need to tell jquery to pass a string in stead of an XML object. Which is what I did, and it finally worked:

function readFiles()
{
    $.get('file.txt', function(data) {
        alert(data);
    }, "text");
}

Note the addition of '"text"' at the end. This tells jquery to pass the contents of 'file.txt' as a string in stead of an XML object. The alert box will show the contents of the text file. If you remove the '"text"' at the end, the alert box will say 'XML object'.

How to add a linked source folder in Android Studio?

You can add a source folder to the build script and then sync. Look for sourceSets in the documentation here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Basic-Project

I haven't found a good way of adding test source folders. I have manually added the source to the .iml file. Of course this means it will go away everytime the build script is synched.

Create a directory if it does not exist and then create the files in that directory as well

This code checks for the existence of the directory first and creates it if not, and creates the file afterwards. Please note that I couldn't verify some of your method calls as I don't have your complete code, so I'm assuming the calls to things like getTimeStamp() and getClassName() will work. You should also do something with the possible IOException that can be thrown when using any of the java.io.* classes - either your function that writes the files should throw this exception (and it be handled elsewhere), or you should do it in the method directly. Also, I assumed that id is of type String - I don't know as your code doesn't explicitly define it. If it is something else like an int, you should probably cast it to a String before using it in the fileName as I have done here.

Also, I replaced your append calls with concat or + as I saw appropriate.

public void writeFile(String value){
    String PATH = "/remote/dir/server/";
    String directoryName = PATH.concat(this.getClassName());
    String fileName = id + getTimeStamp() + ".txt";

    File directory = new File(directoryName);
    if (! directory.exists()){
        directory.mkdir();
        // If you require it to make the entire directory path including parents,
        // use directory.mkdirs(); here instead.
    }

    File file = new File(directoryName + "/" + fileName);
    try{
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
        bw.write(value);
        bw.close();
    }
    catch (IOException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(-1);
    }
}

You should probably not use bare path names like this if you want to run the code on Microsoft Windows - I'm not sure what it will do with the / in the filenames. For full portability, you should probably use something like File.separator to construct your paths.

Edit: According to a comment by JosefScript below, it's not necessary to test for directory existence. The directory.mkdir() call will return true if it created a directory, and false if it didn't, including the case when the directory already existed.

Unloading classes in java?

Classes have an implicit strong reference to their ClassLoader instance, and vice versa. They are garbage collected as with Java objects. Without hitting the tools interface or similar, you can't remove individual classes.

As ever you can get memory leaks. Any strong reference to one of your classes or class loader will leak the whole thing. This occurs with the Sun implementations of ThreadLocal, java.sql.DriverManager and java.beans, for instance.

How to return a result from a VBA function

VBA functions treat the function name itself as a sort of variable. So instead of using a "return" statement, you would just say:

test = 1

Notice, though, that this does not break out of the function. Any code after this statement will also be executed. Thus, you can have many assignment statements that assign different values to test, and whatever the value is when you reach the end of the function will be the value returned.
